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

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

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

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.

FILM CENSORSHIP TOPIC
Mrs. Col well and Others Discuss
Question of Picture Play Moral
ity at League Luncheon.
"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.

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

YAKIMA. Wash.. Jan. 24. (Special.)
Sujrar beets estimated at 1500 tons,
which were caueht undue by tho cold
snap, are to be dug and converted into
hiph-priced sugrar, officials or tne
I tah-ldaho Sugar company announce.
They will make an extra run of four
or fivo days for the Toppenish factory
of the company. Had the sugar price
remained at 11 cents, the beets prob
ably would not have been dug, the
company representatives said, but
they expect to see beet sugar reach
19 cents, on a par with cane sugar.
The company has reorganized its
force in this valley, a Yakima agri
culturist being placed in charge, in
stead of a resident manager, and dis
trict agriculturists being named for
the Toppenish, Sunnyside and Yak
ima districts. The company expects
to lease up to 12.000 to 15,000 acres in
Yakima, sub-letting some of it and
farming the rest itself.
The company officials believe that,
while sugar is high now, the Herman
sugar output, when marketed, will
bring prices down again, Merrill Nib

company, said, announcing that this
season, the Yakima beet price would
be $12 a ton.

A stream never rises higher than its source, nor does a busi
ness grow greater than its builder.
Some people have marveled that I have built so large a prac
tice in a few short years, and Dental Supply Houses have com
mented on the fact that I buy more and better Denial Supplies
than any half dozen competitors, some of whom have been
practicing here for years.
I am fair enough to admit that I do not deserve special credit
for the feat because the KIND of competition I have hed made
my task easy; in fact, I feel that many up-to-date, compctt
Dentists, possessed of the requisite skill and training, who would
display the courage born of knowledge and ability, could have
done the same thing and perhaps in lets time.
If I seem so far AHEAD of the procession, it is so because
others are SO FAR BEHIND.
I saw the shortcomings of the system employed
here by the old-time dentists, I knew the public
put up with it simply because there was little
choice between the methods of the old schools,
and I knew that the two greatest evils of that
system were exorbitant prices and unnecessary
pain.
I had the courage of my convictions and I told my story in the
papers and in my office and I MADE GOOD, BECAUSE:
What I told the people was the TRUTH
and I have proved it to them.
The work is giving perfect satisfaction and has
stood the test of time.
