DIED FROM SMALL-FOX
NOT GERMAN MEASLES
Dreaded Disease Ha3 Obtained a
Foothold in West Scranton.
Statement of Health Officer.
Health Officer W. E. Allen Is con
vinced that George J. Lewis, who died
Tuesday at the residence of his brother-in-law,
William J. Brace, of f.12
North Bromley avenue, was a victim
of smallpox and not of Germnn meas
les and directed that all the precau
tions surrounding the burial of a small
pox victim be observed yesterday when
Lewis was buried. The following con
servative statement was given out last
night by Dr. Allen:
"I wns 'notified by an undertaker
that had been called to bury James
Lewis of 512 North Bromley avenue,
that as the body presented some very
suspicious conditions, he was afraid
that death had been caused by small
pox. On investigation I learned that
the man had been treated by an intel
ligent physician who stated that he
had been called to attend the patient
December 26, 1901, and found him suf
fering from pneumonia, nnd later a
rash had been developed which was
diagnosed as German measles.
"In view of the fact that smallpox
is so near to us, I employed a physi
cian who has had a very extensive ex
perience in that disease, to view the
body and was informed by him that
death had been caused by a malignant
eruptic disease. In order to prevent
possible contagion I ordered the house
quarantined and the premises will bo
constantly patroled until there is no
longer any danger. The body was dis
infected and wrapped in sheets, sat
urated with formalin and buried with
out delay."
As the body of Lewis was being re
moved from the house yesterday his
sister-in-law, Mrs. William J. Brace,
age 25, died from complications re
sulting from premature childbirth.
She had not been stricken by small
pox, but as she had been In the same
house Dr. Allen directed that she be
burled privately at once and this was
done last night.
Her two children were stricken with
what was supposed to bo measles and
were taken to thu home of her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs, Charles Parry at
South Main avenuo and Scranton
street. Last night It wan repotted to
Dr. Allen that these children were suf
fering from smallpox. He will muke
an examination today.
Lieutenant of Police Davis would not
permit a dance to be held in Mears'
hal) last night because of Its proximity
to tho quarters where the Brace chil
dren are,

IMItor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: In this morning's laiue ot jour piper, un
der the heading, "Thoufiht Well ot Hhi Scheme)
JIacaulay llelleveit It Wa.1 Worth &SO,000," -ip-pears
the following paragraph!
"Maikhall teUlllcd that he was In Ecrantcn unco
for Maciulay, and vvai told liy him to see. Attor
neys lllll. Walker und (luinlw, who had i-oiuo

Intention hclng to claim all the malt thai came
to ihli city addressed In that manner, no matter
If It was intended for the leal liituiutloml
school."
The iLuk unceitalnly of the fliit sentence U ol
Itself sufficient to illwolor our portion In thU
affair, hut the natural and almost necesury In
ference from the second mljhegottou tpeclmcu of
had grammar would he that we had not only
hern custodians of the potolF!cc Ikk key, but,
furthcimorc, had intended to giln possession of
mall directed to "Tlio lnternitlon.il C'orpond
encs Schools."
If the person who furnUhci! copy for the above
quoted paragraph weie present nt Macaulay's
hearing yesterday, ho must know that nothing
in tho testimony presented would wairant biich
a coupling of our names, nor the name ot Mr.
Grambi, with such an Intention.
Wc uro well aware that n prolific souice of
mUtnfounatlon regarding thU matter Imi been
open to the papers from the beginning, by fir
the larger part of what has appealed in print
eminating from that source anil being tainted
with untruth. So far wo have lcfralucd fiom
making any remonstrance, but now that Macau
lay has been arrested on a criminal charge, and
our names are still persistently coupled with his
doings, even to the extent of the nnlleious in
sinuations conveyed in tho pnagiaph above
quoted, vvo feed that It is necessary to ok our
home papers to let ionic clement of fairness en
ter into their me of our names and to havo soino
regard fur the correctness of their accounts of
events in which we aic concerned.
The detective who nunc to us In the guise of
a friend of Micaulay, and hole a letter ot intro
duction fiom him, did get a postofltic to- key in
our ofllce. It was found where it hud lain ever
sluec our refusal to take chaige of it. Theso
are the facts. Vet tho person who wrote jour ac
count of tho healing jcbtcidaj-, dollbeiateiy went
out of Ids way to attack us In a manner Utile
short of villlanous. If Maeaulay were to succeed
In doing all that he is alleged to have, under
taken, he would still gain mciob what our
gieatest lhigllsh poet has denominated "trash,"
j'et here Is an attempt on the pait of tonic per
son unknown to us to filch fiom us a thing of
far greater value.
Our whole connection with Maeaulay has been
of a purely piofesslonal naluic, and wo have
accorded honorable and courteous tieatment to
all persons concerned. If tho same treatment
were accorded to us, wo venture to say tli.it our
city would be richer in gentlemen than .'he is
at present.
Finally peimll us to fay thai the joung men
of Scianton who signed the first application for
a charter of "Tho International Correspondence
Schools" were not made confidants of Maciuliy's
alleged imposes, being assured that it was Ills
Intention to conduct a coriepondeucc school.
Upon the failure of their application, they ceased
to have any lmcie.n in his nflair,
Veiy truly yntua,

Below we give a transcript of tho
stenographer's notes of the testlmonj
of Detectivo S. E. Marshall with refer
ences to Messrs. Hill, Walker and
Granibs, taken before Alderman Kus
son at the heuring of Maeaulay on Mon
day. It Is a complete answer to the
complaint contained in the letter of
Walker & Hill.
THE TESTIMONY.
After describing his dealings with
Maeaulay In Chicago the detective pro
ceeded to tell about his visit to Har
rlsbdrg with the originator of the
scheme. In response to ti question us
to what happened there Marshall said:
A. So when we auived in lUriM-uig, he cut
oil liU beaid, or had his beaid changed. Ho told
me I had better not stop at the same hotel with
him; that lie did not wanl any one to know
that I was connected with him. So I flopped at
the I.ociiicl hotel for one week and he al the
Hirshej' home, and then I moved down to the
lilislicy house, mid wo each bad a loom adjoin
ing, and I leuiaincd with lilm at UairUhurg up
to tlio tlmo lie was uriested. Xo, 1 think it was
on the bth or Tib ot December, bo aiked me
would 1 come clown to Scianton huic, that ho
would like to Jolly Walker k Hill nio'ig a liltle
while Icugci; that they were getting impatient
for soino money that they claimed he owed
them, and that he would also like for me to
look up and see whether there was ai.y mill In
the box, and get his key.
Q. Mall to him? To whom was the mail ad
dressed? A. To the International Correspondence School
of Sirauton, l'a., addressed to box li'..
Q, Who had -tho kej?
A. The key was in a diawer in Mr. Hill's of
fice, Walker k lllll; it was taken out of tho
drawer and given to me 1 think by Mr, Walker.
And I-
Q.-What did jou do?
A. I cerno down here and kxw thoe people for
him and jollied them along, as he told me to
do; and lia al) told me to find nut pom them
about this ih-ii ter that tliey had chartered in
Xevv Yoik stale under tlio namo of'Tlie Inter
national C'oiiespondencc Schools. He tuld they
had gotten a charter then', und that they had
gotten It in his InU'lcst, as ho had their letters
to that effect; and that they now demanded money
for their scivlces, and that ho had given them
so many shares, of stock in this company which
he was going to iucorpoiatc bcie, and he did
nol think that he owed any money, ho 1 come
down and saw Mr. Hill and talked the matter
over, und told him that Mr, Maeaulay said that
he wanted to do what was light about It. And
so then I left here and went hack to IhirUbuig,
fj. AMien jou' were here what did jou do u
the way of going to the pontofilec und getting
any mail?
A. Why he gave me a wiltlen oilier for the
key to Mr, (jraitib. Ho said Mr, Crumb bad t,
but Mr. Oramhs did not have It. Mr. Ciambs
sent mo to a gentleman who Is in the pilntln,
business I think under tho bank, and he did
not have the key, and the next day I come luck
In see Walker & Hill again, and asked tlinu
whether they knew anything about the key, Mr,
Walker says, "If I iciiieiiibcr lightly, tl.cro was
u discussion In tills office an) nobody wanted
to keep this key, and dropped it in u diawer."
So he Mr. Walker opened the drawer and took
out tho key ami hamlet) the key to me, and
(lien ho says, " tint nof Hire whether flits Ij the
key, lltC, I will ju.t send out this little boy
over to tee if It would fit tho bos," and ho tint
the box over and It fitted (he hot, and he brought
three or four rants; raids that ate furnished, 1
think, by the postolfleo which jou write it jou
want your addrwii changed, (ijio was 'lcai,a
tend all mall addressed me tv neneral Deliv
ery, Ilaprisburg." I think nuo was "I'leaie send
all to Chicago." Theie was two pr Mace of then,
of that kind, lint wai ul that theio was there.
And after lie gave me tho key, then J went to
tho poitctflrc and looked into the bov. I then
went up to
Q, Did jou find an) thing in the box?
A. 5fo, sir; uot then. 1 then went up to the
International Cotiopondeuec School of Scranton,
I had never been through the building or the
Institute ut that 'time, so I went up and vrai
iliown through, and met a gentleman by tli
name ol Mr, Jones. 1 had tome little talk with
Mr. .Tone!, 1 then left tlicre and went io
Wllkos-Harrtt And from Wllkes-IWrrc 1 went
back to Harrlituirg.
WHAT MACAULAY SAID.
When asked If at any tlmo Macau
lay had said nnythliin to him about
dcnlliifts with lawyers who wero resi
dents of Scranton, Marshall answered!
Oh, he said, when ha (Maeaulay) first
came down hire, that he went to a linn

Delaware, where the chatter was Issued. And he
Kild that there wns also another man here by
the name of (lianihs, whom he had had some
ileallngi with and now that Walker fc lllll were

llargus k llaigus, and that ho was paying .Ms

hensive ftrasn he lias of matters con
cerning tho municipality is little short

seeing so many men present xvho wero
willing to give their services to the par
ty without cost. He reviewed the
momentous events that ha-e occurred
since the return judges met throe years
ago and snld tho Ripper attachment to
tho second class city net was worse
than a crime, It was a political blun
der, lie urged that tho candidate of
the party bo given loyal support for
only by devotion to the party down to
the most trivial office can polltlcnl di
visions hope to achieve victory In the
broad field of national politics.
DROWN HAD RESOLUTIONS.
At the conclusion of Ills remarks the
chairman named J. S. Drown, Enos
T. Hall, W. A. Stanton, W. S. Bartlett
and John G. Nicholson as a committee
on resolutions. Ho was reminded that
Mr. Drown and Mr. Bartlett wero
then at work on tho committee of res
olutions and thereupon substituted
Edward Davis for Mr. Bartlett. Mr.
Drown had been intrusted in advance
with the typewritten resolutions and
the chairman would not substitute any
one for him and the resolutions had to
wait until the committee on contested
seats had renorted.
The contests wore over the rights of
two sets of men to act as vigilance
committees next year. In the first dis
trict of the Fifth, James, Phillips was
declared by tho committee as the legal
return judge and W. A. Paine and G.
B. Carson ns tho other members of the
committee. The other set consisted of
W. J. McDonald, return judge; R. S.
Glllinghain and D. W. Davis. This part
of the report wns adopted.
In the Second district of the Fif
teenth ward tlio right of Hon. John
II. Follows to bo his own successor as
return judge and of Fred L. Leber and
William Corless to bo the other mem
bers of the committee xvere challenged
by men represented by John R. Jones.
The committee decided In fax'or of Mr.
Fellows and a very acrimonious dis
cussion began. John Reynolds said
the men named on the paper presented
by Mr. Jones wero the men legally
elected and Mr. Fellows held the same
with reference to the men returned by
him. He charged that Jones had 'be
trayed his partj' for a position in tho
county jail nnd wns not therefore de
serving of any consideration In a Re
pulillean gathering.
CHAIRMAN EXPLAINED.
Mr. Beaumont, chairman of the con
test committee, explained that the
committee had reported in favor of
Fellows and his colleagues because
they showed that thtee votes xx-ero
polled for them. There xvas no evi
dence that any votes were cast for their
opponents. The war of words xvaa be
coming bitter when Chairman Molr
sought to bring about harmony by ask
ing tho disputants to refer tho matter
to him for adjustment. Thoy agreed
to do this.
Mr, Jnyno suggested that inasmuch
as tho Democrats are to nominate can
didates for poor board it might become
necessary for them to do likewise and
he mox'cd that tlio city committee be
glx-en power to nominate such candi
dates If they deemed It advisable. The
motion prevailed.
Tlio following amendments to tho
Crawford county rules x-ore adopted:

Wc deplore tho tcanelals connected with the

qiulllledly condemn the notorious "ltlppei" bill
by which the chief magistiales of tluco great
cities wcie omtnl fiom tho offices to which ihey
hid been legularly i-lcctcil by the people and
their places tilled by otheis at the dictation of a
"ho,."
Wc condemn the "llollcy grab" bill and all
oilier like measures Intended to enrich a favored
few at the c.xpene of the people, and deeluc all
null neks to be iiu-iepublie.m and vicious and
tending to bring dlsgraie upon ally party icspon

that assessments xvhleii piccludo any one desiring

that the gieat mass of our ltepublieaii xolcis ele

We heaillly nppinvi' of tho enactment by the

doised by the people of our state at the lasl
geneial election.
We endorse the sjlem of nominating officers
by a diteet voir of the people and deciaie it to

to increase its efficiency we urge the icptesenta
