SALEM'S TYPHOID
" EPIDEMIC GROWS
Fifty New Cases Reported in
Three Weeks, Making
Total 159.
NUMBER DYING IS VEILED
Ir. O. 11. Miles, Health Officer, Se
cretive About Scourge Hospitals
Fall, Private Patients Are
Many Water Blamed.
BA1.EJI. Or., Dec. IS. (Special.) De-
DitB the faat that Lr. O. B. Miles. City
Health Officer, declares that "but few
new cases" are developing there has
been an increase of BO cases of typhoid
fe-er in the last three weeks. Up to
November 27 there had been 100 cases
reported to Uie City Health Officer.
Since that time there have been 27 cases
reported from the city and one from the
country south of town.
Er. J. Smith has ten cases not yet
reported to the health officer. lr. W.
H. Byrd six, and Dr. Frank E. Smith
seven. This brings the total tip to 159
since the beginning of the epidemic in
October. It is probable there are many
more cases in the hands of physicians
that have not yet been reported, but it is
difficult to determine this point as Dr.
Miles Is reticent in giving out details.
Number of Deaths VncertaJii.
Up to the first of this month there had
been nine deaths reported to .the City
Health Officer. Dr. Miles says ho thinks
there have been from ten to 14 deaths
but other well-informed and less reti
cent authorities place the number of
deaths at from 18 to 25. The exact num
ber of deaths will not be known until
after the first of January, when the law
requires the City Health Officer to make
a monthly report to the County Health
Officer.
Dr. Miles, whilo not positively declin
ing to give out information regarding
the epidemic, is evading and makes an
examination of the public records in the
case exceedingly inconvenient, to say the
least, by keeping his books at his home
for weeks at a time.
The hospitals are filled with typhoid
patients and there are scores of cases
in private homes.
Public Warning Issued.
Dr. W. K. Morse, a member of the
State Health Board, in a public announce
ment, warns the people to cook all vege
tables, keep out the flies and disinfect
all vaults and barns. Dr. Miles confided
to a newspaper reporter yesterday that
all but one or two physicians in the city
are convinced that the city water is un
fit for use without boiling. However, he
has issued no public warning to boil the
water or to take any precautions whatso
ever against the contraction or spread
of the disease, and even intimates that
many of the cases that have been re
ported . as typhoid are not typhoid in
realty.
The epidemic has aroused the city as
- nothing has liuno for a long time and
there is every indication that the proposal
to build a mountain water system will
be -carried by a large majority if sub
mitted before the people have a chance
to forget the present scourge.
Many of the physicians do not attempt
to conceal facts regarding the epidemic.
Dr. J. N. Smith said today: "We have
an epidemic of typhoid fever and it is
caused by an impure water supply. There
is no use in trying to close our-eyes to
the facts in the case. We might as well
make up our minds to meet "the emer
gency like men and take steps to remedy
the difficulty and tho sooner the better."
There are now six cases in the State
House, the latest victim being F. H.
Case, foreman of the state printing of
fice. Dr. J. R. Comer, pastor of the
First Baptist Church and a graduate
physician, has announced that tomorrow
evening he will preach a sermon on the
typhoid situation.

PHYSICIAN GALLS
- ROSELAIR FANATIC
Defense Fails to Make Con
clusive Showing That Pris-
oner Was Insane.
EXPERTS GIVE TESTIMONY
REDS AMENABLE TO LAWS
Indians Who Have Received Lands
Are Citizens of State.
SALEM, " Or., Dec. 18. (Special.)
Attorney-General Crawford today ren
dered an opinion at the request of the
superintendent of the Siletz Indian
reservatio'n as to the status of Indians
on the reservations who have been ac
cused of crime.
The Attorney-General takes the posi
tion that Indians residing on the reser
vations to whom lands have been al
lotted are citizens and as such amenable
to all the laws of the state in which
the reservation Is situated.
In 1901 the Supreme Court of this
state held that for six certain crimes,
such as murder, arson and other similar
serious offenses, the Federal Court only
had Jurisdiction, but during 1902-3-4
the United States Supreme Court laid
down the principle that the allottee on
an Indian reservation is amenable to
all the laws of the state In which the
reservation is located.
Wife-Murderer Expelled From the
Methodist Church, for Beating
- Second Wife Case Expect
ed to Close Tomorrow.
HILLSBORO. Or., Dec. 18. (Special.)
The defense in the Roselalr murder
trial today uncovered its plans and
disclosed insanity as Its theory. Ben
ton Bowman, a local attorney, was on
the stand all forenoon. He testified
that he had transacted some business
for Roselair several years ago, and
that he considered him imbued with
"wild ideas." The witness did not con
sider the defendant entirely sane. Two
hours were spent in argument whether
Mr. Bowman could be heard as an ex
pert witness on Insanity.
John M. Brown, agent for the- Wells
Fargo Express Company, testified that
he thought Roselalr was a little "off."
and said he was always anxious to not
have Roselair go to his home to sell
fish, when he was not on the premises.
Dr. F. A. Bailey, who. was called by
the defense, made a better witness for
the state. He testified that he con
sidered Roselair" a religious fanatic,
and that Roselair had a tendency, in
his opinion, to paranoia. Upon being
asked whether he considered the pris
oner insane, he said:
"I consider him responsible for his
act, although I did not examine him
for sanity, until the day following his
surrender. I then made a thorough
examination of the defendant upon the
request of the District Attorney, and
I found him sane."
The physician, who has practiced
here since late in the '60s, was delib
erate in his answers, and required the
hypothetical questions read the sec
ond time in several instances. He has
known Roselalr ever since he came to
Hillsboro.
Dr. A. B. Bailey was also called by
the defense and his evidence was of
nearly the same import.
Dr. W. T. Williamson, of the Moun
tain View Sanatorium, Portland, was on
the stand for the prosecution. He had
no personal knowledge of Roselair, and
his evidence was wholly that of an ex
pert. The case will not go to the jury be
fore Monday noon. The attendance to
day was large.
It transpired today that Roselair had
at one time been converted and had
joined the Methodist Episcopal Church
here. After he had beaten his second
wife he was expelled from membership.

son street, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets. Charles Sweeny, owner
of the property, is expected in Portland
within a few days to discuss the plan of
building a hostelry on the site.
The hotel - plan for this site was
launched several years ago and the build
ing would have been erected long since
had it not been for a law which made it
illegal for a saloon or hotel bar to be lo
cated within 400 feet of any school. Xow
that the location of the West Side High
School may be changed and the present
site sold, the hotel enterprise is discussed
again. Bruce Clendenning, of Spokane,
president of the Sweeny Investment Com
pany, was in Portland a few days ago
and took, up the question. The project,
it is expected,- will be ready for announce
ment within a few days or after the tax
payers meeting December 28, when defi
nite action concerning the high school
will be taken.
Frank, Rigler, Superintendent of the
City Schools, said yesterday that It would
probably bo a year before- a new high
school could be erected. If the school is
not sold, under the law a bar could be
established within the limit of 400 feet,
as the statute is prohibitive only as re
gards schools, and not school buildings.
