16 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 25, -1920 CITY PREPARED; FLU DANGER IS LESSENED Barracks Put in Order for Possible Patients. EPIDEMIC HELD UNLIKELY Belief Is That Readiness of Author ities to Cope With Disease Will Keep It Down. Determined to be prepared in tie rent Influenza becomes epidemic in Portland, members of the city coun cil yesterday authorized the Immedi ate fitting up of the temporary bar racks adjacent to the county hos pital In South Portland to receive patients. The council also appro priated $3000 to be used in the event of an influenza epidemic. Mayor Baker yesterday issued a statement In which, ho announced that he would take personal charge of the Influenza situation, arrange all necessary details and do all pos sible to avert the experience of last year. Four cases, diagnosed Friday as in fluenza, and declared to have been the most severe cases ever noted in Portland, were found yesterday to be smallpox. Because of this discovery, orders were issued last night by City Health Officer Parrish to fit up an observation ward at the temporary barracks, where patients will be con fined for several days' until' the exact nature of the disease baa been, deter mined. Sitae New Cases Reported-' Nine new cases-of Influenza were reported to the health bureau yester day, but not all these' cases had been investigated and confirmed. The ma jority of the cases in Portland are 6aid to be exceedingly mild. Some are of the lobar type and a few of the Intestinal type. Reports received by Dr. David N. Roberg, state health officer, show that the disease has entered several ad ditional cities and counties of the elate. The report of the greatest number of new cases came from Pendleon, where 87 influenza patients now are quarantined. The disease there is largely of the intestinal type. Several cases of influenza were reported yesterday at Hermiston, and 49 cases were reported in Vale, Mal heur county. A report from Roseburg Indicated two new cases in the city and 10 In the country adjacent to Roseburg. Cases Declared Genuine. At the request of State Health Offi cer Roberg, the influenza cases near St. Helens were investigated by Dr. George B. Story, who saw some of the original influenza cases in Spain sev eral years ajjo. According to Dr. Story the cases In Columbia county are exactly like the Spanish influ- j enza. The services of an additional phy sician are sorely needed in Burns, ac- i cording to a telegram, received yes terday by State Health Officer Ro berg. Unless some physician will vol unteer. Dr. Roberg is unable to as sign anyone to the case, lacking au thority from the federal health ser vice. Last fall Surgeon General Blue requested the enrollment of 100 phy sicians in every state for emergency work, and Dr. Roberg telegraphed "Washington several days ago asking if any physicians are available. No reply has as yet been received. That residents of Portland have Tiothir.g to fear from influenza if proper precautions are taken, was the sentiment expressed by the state health officer. He said that the di sease was not epidemic in this city and that wUh the excellent measures already taken to hand'e cases that might develop, the chances are that Portland will not suffer any severe pidoraic. Dr. 1'nrrish In Optimistic. City Health Officer Parrish said if the people would not beccmc panic fctricUen Portland probably would have but a few cases. ' A7 a a r A i n fat Yi f 1 1 o t" rVisi riA n nu- said Dr. Parrish, "to handle influenza cases than at any time in the past. "With the temporary hospital avail able, we will be able to move patients from rooming houses before the di sease can spread throughout the houses, and with a strict quarantine such as is required by the state law, it is almost certain that the disease can be kept within bounds." Although City Purchasing Agent Peter Mcintosh did not receive au thority to prepare the South Portland barracks to receive patients until after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. before nightfall beds had been in stalled, blankets and other equipment had been delivered and the kitchen placed in shape for use. Quarantine to Be Strict. Property Custodian "Wilkinson was chief aid to Mr. Mcintosh, ana for several hours employes from many of the city departments were pressed into service to aid in preparing the barracks for use. The city health officers are enforc tng an absolute quarantine rule for influenza, grippe and pneumonia cases, in the belief that a strict quar antine of an entire family for a, pe riod not less than 14 days will do much to prevent spread of the dis eases. MAYOR DECLARES WAR OX FLU City Health Regulations to Be Strictly Enforced. Mayor Eaker.announcing his deter mination to prevent an epidemic of influenza ini Portland, yesterday is sued a statement in which he assured the people of the city that he ha assumed personal responsibility and will lay aside all other work, so far as may be necessary, to guard the health interests of the city. He will g:ve every possible support to Dr. Oeorge Parrish, health officer, spar ing neither time nor expense, and will brook no interference with prevent ive and combative regulations. Simultaneously, the mayor emphat ically declared that, after a thorough, personal investigation, he finds the influenza situation in Portland abso lutely under control; that there are but ten cases; that they are mild ones, and that there is nothing in sight to cause any aDDrehension. "An chief executive of the city, I have taken over and will have per sonal supervision of and responsibil ity for the situation with regard to in fluenza in Portland, said the mayor. "This I have done, not because there is anything in the present condition of things that should give rise tu fear or panic on the part of citizens but as a precautionary measure. am determined that this matter shall be handled with the utmost care and that nothing shall be left undone to prevent recurrence of last year's epi demic. Parrish Backed to Limit. "To that end, I have exercised the powers vested in me by the city charter and have taken over this phase of the bureau of health work. Dr. Parrish, the health officer, and his entire force have been instructed to spare neither money nor expense in. the preventing and combatting in fluenza and I will support the regu lations made by that office to the limit. Nothing will be permitted for a moment to interfere with the pro gramme in this respect, the entire re sources of the city being back of this effort to safeguard our people from spread of the disease. "Dr. David N. Roberg, state health officer, is working in co-operation with the city and assures me there is ample law to support the fullest en forcement of preventive and com bative measures; if additional legis lation is needed in Portland. I will get it forthwith. "Practicing physicians must report cases promptly to the city health office; they must not take upon them selves responsibility for determining whether a case is serious. That is the city's business, and we are going to assume full charge. Our health officers will say what must be done in each individual case, the idea being that the city is charged with the duty of guarding the health of its people and in no other way may we discharge this duty. Mayor Means Business. "I assure the people that there is absolutely no disposition on my part or in the health office to prescribe any unnecessary regulations, but I must make clear my determination to THREE MEN CHARGED WITH SIX for Robert Hal I enforce without fear or favor any measures thought to be necessary in the prevention or treatment of influ enza. The administration will make every effort to hold the situation to ts present status as a maximum and to reduce as soon as possible even those mild cases now prevailing. Meanwhile, I, as mayor of this city, will be on the Job day and night, if necessary, to keep in touch with the situation." TRUSTEES FILE ANSWER MR. PITTOCK XOT INFLUENCED IX MAKING WILL, IS REPLY. Court Asked to Admit Document to Probate; Charge of Duress Denied by Trustees. The answer of O. L. Price, executor and trustees-, and C. A. Morden, trustee or the estate of the late Henry L. Pit tock, to the contest of will filed in the probate court by Mrs. Caroline P. Leadbetter, daughter, was recorded was recorded yesterday, denying that these was any restraint or undue in fluence exercised upon Mr. Pittock at the time he drew his will. Sir. Pittock was SI years old, in full possession of his faculties and under no restraint at the time of the draft ing of the will, August 23, 1916, as serts the answer. Mrs. Leadbetter's petition seeks to have the will de clared void on the ground that it was executed under duress and undue in fluence. The prayer of the answer is for confirmation of the will and ad mission to probate. The element of fraud and improper influence was all that was left of the contest petition last Thursday when Judge Tazwell upheld the motion of Mr. Price, executor of the estate, to strike out three clauses of the com plaint, as involving construction of the will and improper in a contro versy over its validity. Mr. Pittock died January 28, 1919. . Mid-Coliunbia Has Snowstorm. STEVENSOX, Wash., Jan. 24. (Spe cial.) A snow storm struck the mid Columbia region last night.

"The Thirteenth Commandment" and its censored chapter on ladies' "linger-ee," Charlie Chaplin comedies, the vamp and nearly every other sub ject which could be related to the morality of moving pictures was in terjected into the discussion yester day noon under the auspices of the Civic league of the subject, "Should Movie Censorship Be Supported and Strengthened?" The occasion was the regular weekly luncheon of the league at the Benson hotel. A debate on the subject was sched uled as the feature of the day, but the debate was soon forgotten when those present began to voice their convictions regarding some of the movie shows and "The Thirteenth Commandmant," the picture recently censored at the Columbia, sot itd share of attention. group of theaters at Eugene, who was speaking in opositlon to local censorship, expressed the conviction that the "linger-ee scenes in recent pictures were harmless, and that the only thing accomplished by cut ting the film was to inflict hard- Ship on the theater showing it. He expressed doubt that Manager Hill of the Paramount-Artcraft company had ever called it "linger-ee, as has been suggested. Awful" Xtm "Writer Hit. This last statement brought Mrs. E. B. Colwell, secretary of the censor ship board here, to her feet in a hurry. "We never said that it was Mr. Hill who called it 'linger-ee,'" she af firmed, intimating that it had been Mr. Raleigh, manager of the Colum bia, who had so labeled the dainty undergarments. "We were misquoted in the newspapers. , You know those awful falsehoods tho newspapers print. One of those awful newspaper women put it in the paper. Mr. Raleigh denied that the word linger-ee" had any place in his vo cabulary, and said, therefore, that he could not have used it. In answer to a statement by Mr. McDonald that local censorship was a failure and was accomplishing little for the betterment of pictures, Mrs. Colwell said she wished she could take the audience in on some of the things the censorship board had had to do to keep bad pictures out. One Awful" Thins Barred. "I would like to tell you something of the pictures you have not seen," she declared. "The board did a big work Just in keeping out 'Bertha', a picture which an operator wanted to show here and which he declared would net him $3000 in a week. It was a most awful thing. The ex hibitor told me he never showed it without having a trained nurse in the audience and an ambulance wait ing at the door to care for those who fainted while the picture was being run." A. F. Flegel spoke on the affirm ative side of the question, urging that the censorship board be supported and given additional powers, while Mr. McDonald declared the work of the national board of review was be ing duplicated by the local boards to the hardship of producers and ex hibitors. He held that the tastes of the people themselves constituted a board of censorship and that no ex hibitor could make a financial suc cess now by Tunning immoral pictures. At the close of the session it was decided to take up the subject again at the session in two weeks, and to confiuc the discussion of the day to the work of the local censorship board entirely. Aot So Bad, Say 4"a(rns. Judge Gatens was called upon for a talk on his observations of the Port land movies, and expressed the opin ion that the pictures here are on a high level and have shown wonderful improvement in this respect within the last few years. Ho rapped the farce comedies, however, as bordering on the vulgar, and expressed the be lief that these reels needed censorship more than the feature pictures. "These pictures that show a woman being chased by ' a mob or someone sticking a woman with a pin do not strike me as funny," he said. "They convey a poor idea of chivalry. Many of the comedies, including those of Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin have these disgusting features. I never could see anything funny about Charlie Chaplin, anyway. The last statement brought instant approval in the form of a volley of feminine hand-clapping. The session was attended largely by women, and frowned In no uncertain terms upon the antics of the million-dollar come dian. Realtors to Help Commission. ASTORIA Or.. Jan. 24. (Special.)
