"You left the work for Beeman?" "I left It for Dr. Wolf and Beeman," replied Marcellus. "Is leprosy considered dangerous?" asked Commissioner Laker. "Not necessarily." "Was that case dangerous?' asked Commissioner Bigelow. "I should say that it was," answered Marcellus. "Were you reported to daily?" asked Attorney Logan. "Yes, by Beeman and Wolf."

Marcellus stated that the leper had been In a local hospital three years ago and was diagnosed as other than leprous. Dr. Rotaerg was called and explained how he was notified on October 2 of the case of leprosy. "On October 2. Keven day after the ! man wbb taken tothe hospital, our office found that It was leprosy," he said, "and that the patient waa not protected from flies. "My visit was repeated on October 3, and found the case the same, with the exception that bandages had been placed on the man's legs. Conditions were the same on October 4, and there were no screens to keep out the flies. "Making three visits and finding no protection against flies, I wrote a let ter to Marcellus, suggesting that the necessary precautions be laken. On October 5, the patient was protected. From September 25 to October 5, the patient was a decided menace to the public. "The public should have been pro tected. The case should have been i isolated."' A letter sent to Dr. Marcellus by Dr. Roberg. written October 4, was intro duced, which suggested that screens I be placed around the tent In which the patient was kept and concluded with j the statement that "unless every pre caution is taiten me coaru win ue com pelled te prefer charges against you. ' Dr. Marcellus' letter in reply waa also Introduced. Another letter written by Dr. Ro berg on October 6 says "that It is as tounding to get your letter to the ef fect that all precautions have been taken." "Then Dr. Marcellus made a false re port to you when he said all precau tions were taken to protect the pub lit"? asked Daly. "Absolutely," was Jtoberg's reply. "An efficient health officer takes no chances whether doctors agree or dis agree The taxpayers are entitled to protection." Answer Termed Talse. "Then Dr. Marcellus answer to you was false?" emphasized Daly. "Yes." Dr. Marcellus attempted to show that the matter of protecting the patient from flies had been discussed before the letter had been received from Ro berg but that the screens had not been installed In compliance with his in structions. Daly introduced telegrams sent Dr. Marc'ellus while on an Oregon Nation al Guard encampment near Tillamook In July, 19f3, by Dr. Calvin S. White, then state health officer. One tele gram read: "Smallpox demands your attention here; better come home." Dr. Marcellus replied with a tele gram to the effect that he was In loe touch, with the situation ln-Portland and that he was then looking after the sanitary condition of a camp of $00 men. In reply to Dr. Marcellus' telegram Dr. Calvin S. White wired: "Either come home or resign." 'Have you any private .pra-ctletr' CAMPAIGN LAUNCF asked Daly (when Marcellus again went f on the stand. "Did you get any cases through your work as consultant for the city." ' . Marcellus denied that he had rotten any private practice as result of his work as health officer. "You attended L M. Andrus and C. Hastings in 1913 for typhoid fever and presented one with a bill for $200 and another a bill for $145." said Daly. "I'm not sure of the names?" "Did the cases follow as result of your being health officer." "No they did not. I remember that I got the Hastings case as Hastings had prior to that time had me for his family physician. L got the other case through him." "In the court ease following, you stated on the stand that you didn't know the difference between 'colon bacillus' and typhoid germs." "I found out the difference later." "HowJ" Xaadled Case After Honra, "I learned it from City Bacteriolo gist Pernot. I probably knew but had forgotten the difference," was Marcellus' reply. "Didn't you pledge the council that you wouldn't handle private cases after the council had raised your salary a year ago?" "Only during office hours. The agreement allowed me to handle pri vate cases after office hours." "Did you live up to the agreement?" askd Commissioner LMeck. "Well maybe I handled three or four cases since," admitted Marcellus. "Were you not called in by Dr. Et tleson as consultant In your capacity as city health officer and after diag nosing the case send a bill for $5 to cover your services?" asked Daly. "He called me between 12 noon and 2 p. m., outside of city hours, and 1 told him I couldn't go. He said he would see that I got a consultant's fee." "Then you only did consulting out side of office hours when you re ceived pay for it?" asked Daly. "What of your previous statements that you worked for the city after hours and at nights" Beeman Gives Evidence. "I did much after office hours' work and got no pay for it." Former Chief Quarantine Officer Beeman was called and told how he had handled the leprosy case. "I got no instructions at all from Marcellus," he said, "and to the best of my knowledge Marcellus did not see the case from the time it was dis covered -until seven days later." Beeman explained In detail how he handled the case "to help out Dr. Wolf." "I had been instructed by Dr. Mar cellus to diagnose no- more cases al though I had been doing it for six years. I only went to work on the leprosy case when Dr. Wolf asked me to help him.' "Dr. Marcellus did not know of my work in many oases until he looked up the records the next day." "Did you ever take Dr. Marcellus out In a city machine on private case?' asked Daly. "I can't say for sure. When we re sponded to reports of contagious cases Marcellus always took me into the house with him. When I didn't go Into the houses I always figured that they were the doctor's private cases." "How many times did you do this? asked Dleck. Possibly 12 times In the past 18 months." Attorney Logan attempted to show that most of the cases referred to oc curred several months ago. Dr. Calvin S. White, who was sought as a witness, refused to come at the request of City Attorney La Roche, and at Mayor Albee's instructions he is to be subpenaed and be required to attend the hearing this afternoon. FORD SENDS A PEACE APPEAL TO KINGS OF WAR-MAD COUNTRIES (Continued From Page One.) wrought. The time has come to stop the bloodshed and save the people from further slaughter, and civiliza tion from anarchy and ruin. "Haa not war been tried for 16 months? Is it not proven that war cannot solve the problem, but leads only, to loss and misery? Must more wives and mothers b-bereaved before we recognize that Europe Is bleeding to death, and that the wound must be staunched? "The rising desire of the people of neutral nations to convert barren dis lnterestednesa Into active good will has prompted the cltisena of America tS sail to Europe on the ship Oscar II, with the serious purpose of Joining European neutrals in an organized ef fort to help restore peace upon an hon orable and Just basis. Peace Proposals Planned. To facilitate direct negotiations be tween you and other warring- nations we neutrals are about to Join In a con ference which will without delay form and submit to you and the other belllg erents proposals as a basis for a dis cussion leading to a final settlement. "Therefore, we earnestly entreat you and the rulers of other warring na tions to declare an immediate truce.

ABOARD THE PEACE SHIP OfeCAR II, by wireless to Land's End, England, Dec. 13. (U. P.) War has broaen out aboard Henry Ford's peace argoay. Several of the delegates, whom the Detroit automobile maker asked to help in straightening out Europe's war tan gle, are preparing to quit the ship at Ch'ristiania, Norway, and return to America, because, they allege, the ex treme pacificists have adopted an In sulting attitude toward those uphold ing President Wilson's preparedness doctrine. Ford himself is trying hard to pre vent an open break. He denies re sponsibility for steamroller" tactics, employed by the extremists. As a matter of fact, the accusation is not directed against Ford, but chief ly against Rev. Dr. Chks. F. Aked, of San Francisco and Jenkln Lloyd Jones. A complete split is imminent. The row broke out Friday. The San Francisco divine Introduced at a meeting of the peace voyagers a resolution signed by Ford and 23 others oposlng preparedness. Aked intimated that those who refused $o sign thla document would be unloaded at the flrs port. While Ford denied that they would be thus unloaded, he con tinued to support the anti-preparedness group. The conversation veered into alter cations In which the languages be came not only personal, but profane Then when the situation made cool er heads fearful of a spilt, they tried to re-unite the warring parties. Those suggesting a compromise proposed a resolution opposing competitive arma ments, but avoided referenca to the president's' -preparedness program.
