Attack upon City Health Officer Par
rlsh was voiced by L. D. Mahone, chair
man of a mass meeting at Central li
brary Saturday night, called to protest
against compulsory vaccination of schoo
children to prevent smallpox. Parrlsh a
alternative was that the children be kept
home for 21 days.
"I am ready to go to the courts early
Monday morning to get at least a tem
porary p3Uiotion restraining Panish
from vaccinating the children," Mahone
declared. - The audience approved his
plan, and agreed to sign affidavits tend
ing to ehow that there Is no need of
vaccination at this time.
It was pointed out that only Z94 cases
of smallpox had been reported to the
city health bureau. This, Mahone In
sisted, does not constitute an epidemic.
"If any school official lays hand upon
my children I will swear out awarrant
for assault and battery," Mahone de
clared.

nothing of the strange disappearance,
except that the boy did not return for

Albert was a venturesome spirit, his
father declares, and may possibly have
sirned vith a seafaring crew out of
Portland, since he was at sea for a
brief voyage on another occasion and
delighted In the experience. However,
the father is leaving nothing undone in
the search for the boy, fearing that he
may have met wKh harm. The boy wore
a pair of olive drab army breeches and
canvas puttees together with a gray
coat when he disappeared. The father,
an employe of the Wadhams A Kerr
company, can , be reached at Sellwood
