14 THE aiOBXlKU UKEGONXAN, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1906. HEALTH OFFICER HELD TO E Initiative One Hundred Gets Report on Diphtheria in the Schools. CONFINED TO PORTSMOUTH Dr. C. H. Wheeler Vigorously lenles Charges Made by Investigating Committee Says Lock of Sewerage Is Cause. Diphtheria is altogether too preva lent In Portsmouth, for the reason that the city quarantine regulations have not been enforced by the Health Xtepartment, according to the report made by an investigating comratites of th Initiative One Hundred, a r.lvlc Association that is now taking a deep Interest in various municipal affair a. Ir. C. H. Wheeler, the City Health Of ficer, controverts the report by saying that the lack of sewerage at Ports mouth is responsible for .the numer ous cases of the disease, and that so long as this condition exists quaran tine regulations will be of no avail. On the other hand, the investigating committee, of which Phil S. Bates is chairman, declares that the sewerage of Portsmouth is good enough for anybody, that the houses of the dis trict are built upon gravel, that the FAnltatlnn of the neighborhood is ail that can be desired, and that the Health Department has not done it duty by checking the spread of the disease. T. A. Ketchum, of 1601 Portsmouth avenue. Is the man who brought the diphtheria cases to the attention of the Initiative One Hundred. He, with Mr. Bates and Dr. A. W- Moore, constitute the committee. It Is recommended by the committee that a physician exam ine the school children of Portsmouth each morning for two weeks, and that every child not passing the usual ex amination be taken out of school and kept under the eye of a physician pend ing developments. Diphtheria has not troubled any other school in the city but the Ports mouth gchool. The committee learned this by writing to the principal of every school in town. Four deaths from the Portsmouth School have oc curred. Following is the report of the com mittee. Just made public: Report of the Committee. Tour committee, appointed to investigate the health conditions of Portsmouth. - reports as follows: , We addressed a communication to each school principal of Portland to ascertain how many deaths from contagious diseases had occurred during; the period beginning with the Fall term. But four deaths were reported, all occurring In the Portsmouth 8chool. Upon receipt of this Information we visited Ports mouth and mads a personal call on several home, asking data of sickness and other quMtlons bearing on general conditions.

In making this Investigation we found that aU of these cases ware In the best homes in Portsmouth; that the plumbing and sanitary conditions were, of the best. - Our City Phy- of sewerage system in this suburb- was possibly 'the raut of the trouble. Such, however, is not the case for the reason that the whole Peninsula rests on a gravel bed which is con sidered the best foundation upon which a com munity cn build whra cesspools are neces sary. The p 1 umblng In these houses Is not surpassed la the City of Portland. Xo Attempt at Quarantine. Tour committee find, however, that the en tire difficulty rests with the people of Ports mouth and the Health Department of our city. No mora negligent met boos of quarantine could be devised than that fathered by our City Health Board. In fact, thera has ben no rti ran tine, and whole families have been al lowed to ran at large, while In close contact with affected parties. The local physicians have practically bad full charge of the quar antine and have, under the circumstance, at tempted to do the beat they could, but without support from our Health Department. In nearly- every case a flag has been put up and Instructions given as to quarantine by the local physicians. The following Illustrations will ahow present ayatera of quarantine: Our first illustration, family of four children; girl of 8 taken sJcg Ootober 1 with' undoubted diphtheria and died. Iurtns? fnnerat other three children were tajten to another part of Portland, where they aU immediately cam down with dlphtharia. I The first case In this family was not quaran tined or reported as diphtheria. Another family In which a dath occurred from what was diagnosed as diphtheritic sore throat stated that a son 14 years old was given antitoxin and allowed to continue in school. There was no quarantine in this case or fumigation. In one case we find that during a funeral a patient was carried one block from the house to be cared for during the absence of the famllv. In this case the mother bad V barge of the patient and continued her daily work about the house. In this same family parties passed to and fro between Portsmouth and the city on the streetcars continually. In another case the mother of several chil dren informed us that while her eon was sick the children played with others in the street until complaint was made. A oaae reports that the Health Department was telephoned several times to call and fumigate. That no attention was paid for at least a week. School girl aged 0 yeans was 111 eight days and house was fumigated) at end) of that period. Period of quarantine altogether too short. Many cases) of this character. Doctor's Orders Ignored. Report Is made by head of family that when patient was declared ill with diphtheria, doc tor explained! quarantine and stated Inmates of house was supposed) to keep it. but prac tically no attention was paid to doctor's lo st ructions. At this place two people lived In another house in the yard and aiept in the house, with case, coming several times daily in contact with parties attending patient. The above are a few Illustrations of the lax methods of enforcing ths quarantine law by our Board of Health. It Is not to ba ex pected that the local physician should under take this work, for others are paid to attend to such duty. We, therefore, censure your Health Department, and through them, your city physicians, one of whom has had the temerity to state that It was not so bad as reported at Portsmouth but artmplr case of bad scare. We found the school In excellent corjditlon and the principal a gentleman who has exer cised the best of judgment In the matter as far as he was allowed to go. We now recommend that a physlciaa ex amine the school children of Portsmouth each morning for two week. for euob indications as may appear of Illness and in all suspicious cases take their temperature and examine their throats. Ia all cases not normal, child to be returned to parents until better con ditions prevail. That the floor be swept with sawdust dampened with a disinfectant. That the school be thoroughly fumigated by a competent man once a week, and also that special officers be detailed' by the Police De partment to enforce the quarantine regula tions in the Portsmouth school district, and that the State Board of Health be Informed of our findings and requested to take active participation In the quarantine of existing cai now present at Portsmouth.

Lwfr Schumann, aged 7 years, corner Portsmouth avenue and Willamette boulevard, taiten III while attending school. Patient now in hospital. Dr. Wheeler Makes Answer. The foregoing report was shown Dr. C. H. Wheeler, the City Health Officer, last night. . He gave it as his opinion that it will be a difficult mat ter to change the state of affairs 80 far 8B sanitary conditions are con cerned with any degree of satisfac tion until a better sewerage system Is installed on the peninsula. Dr. Wheeler also recommends that all the pupils attending the public schools of this city should be vaccinated as a measure of precaution against any mild typo of smallpox that might be come prevalent. He says there Is only one. case of smallpox in the penthouse at present, and that It came here from California shortly before the earth quake there. In the recent past, how ever, there have been several mild cases of the disease under the care of the health department, he said, and h was not aware of any instance where a contagious disease of any character ha3 not been reported to his office. Dr. Wheeler stated further that he has been compelled to grapple with the local health situation with an in adequate force, and that it has kept him exceedingly busy at all times. He Insists that he can not be here, there and everywhere all at once, and if the city expects him to do that, he must have more help. Discussing the report of the com mittee appointed by the Initiative One Hundred, he said: Cases Before His Term. Most of ttfe cases referred to occurred be fore I was appointed City physician, and I am without knowledge concerning them. I took office February 1 of this year. As to the other cases, I have given tnem personal investigation: each house has been thor oughly fumigated; those cases that were re moved to the hospital, were taken there promptly, and every precaution devised to prevent the apread of the disease. . I made several visits to Portsmouth and not only visited the cases, but consulted with local physicians, the principal of the scnool as well as Mr. Ketchum and other residents of the community. 1 made suggestions to the principal of the school to have indi vidual drinking cups supplied the children by their parents, in addition to other pre cautions. I consulted with local physicians relative to their "method of isolation and quarantine, and I believe that they have done everything possible in that direction. Had Trouble There Before. With reference to the source of these transmissible diseases. I will say that while I was City Physician upon a former occasion I had trouble with diphtheria at Portsmouth and vicinity. Formerly the open-closet sys tem was the universal rule. While that con dition has Improved to a csrtain extent to day, yet to my knowledge there are many such closets In existence, and rny experience from personal observation Is that where dis tricts are well-sewered there Is a rapid de crease In diphtheria, typhoid fever and scarlet fever. I am satisfied that the general health of Portsmouth and the adjacent districts would be very materially improved bv a properly constructed system of sewera with the regu lation house connections.

TRADE WITH COOS GROWS Three Steamers Will Be Regular Service Out of Portland. in COAL FINDS MARKET HERE Captain E. W. Spencer Adds Steamer Breakwater to Run Now Cov ered by the Alliance and F. A. Kllburn. Coos Bay coal will figure prominent ly in the Portland market soon, a Portland firm having decided to en gage in the importation of the fuel by the shipload. Thorough tests have been made, with the result that the importer has already secured a number of heavy buying customers. The coal can be laid down, it is said, at a price that should Induce patronage. The first cargo will arrive today or Friday on the steamer Redondo, which left San Francisco Monday. A letter received yesterday by George Taylor, agent for the steamer, states that the boat would stop at Coos Bay to pick up some 800 tons of coal for Portland delivery. The coal will be discharged on the new wharf at the foot of East Alder street. Coos Bay has shipped large quanti ties of coal to San Francisco in the past, regular 'steamers having been STEAMER INTELLIGENCE. Due to Arrive. Steamer From.

Besides this large shipment, the Alliance will bring all the general freight her space will permit and her usual long list of passengers. Traffic between Portland and the Coast ports to the south is increasing as such a rapid rate that additional steamers have been found necessary, and in a few days the steamer Break water will be bidding for a share of the freight now offered the Alliance and F. A. Kllburn, the only two steam ers engaged on the run at present. Heretofore the Breakwater has been operating between Coos Bay and San Francisco, but now that Coos Bay has to divert its business to Portland in stead of San Francisco, the Break water will change her route to the North. She will be operated by Cap tain E. W. Spencer on a ten-day schedule or oftener if possible. The Breakwater is a trim veeael, registering 1065 tons. and is well equipped for passengers as well a. freight. Her dimensions are: Length, 201 feet; beam, 30 feet; depth of hold. 19 feet. She is a steel vessel, and was built In Chester, Pa., about 25 years ago. Commence Work on Barges.

Local Mill Sells Product Where Saw mills Are Close at Hand. Oregon lumber is meeting with a big demand In Europe, and the mills of Northern Scandinavia will find them selves in competition with lively rivals at their very door soon. Yesterday the North Pacific Lumber Company, of this city, chartered the German ship Emelie and the British steamer Kll burn to carry lumber to European ports, the former to Copenhagen and Hamburg and the latter to Genoa, Italy. While several cargoes have been sent to Italy, this will be the first to go to Denmark, which country has hereto fore drawn Its building material from ports on the Baltic, a few hundred miles distant only, and the announce ment that Oregon lumber can be shipped half-way around the world and entered Into competition with material of the highest rating will therefore be received with more than ordinary in terest. The steamer Kllburn will be here in time to commence loading this month. She arrived at Singapore March 12. from Hongay, but Is supposed to have sailed since for one of the Japanese ports. She registers 2111 tons net, and her lumber capacity is about 2,500,000 feet. The Emelie has been in the harbor since the 8th of last month, when siie arrived from England with a cargo of I cement and coke. She will carry about 1.500.000 feet. After delivering a por tion of the lumber at the Danish capi tal, the Emelie will proceed to Ham burg to discharge the remainder. Jettison Cargo to Save Vessel. SAN FRANCISCO. May 2.
