A FINAL REPORTMADE
The Relief Committee Closes Its
Work With Relief.
DISPOSAL OF THE BALANCE.
McCoombs' Stsalings Estimated at
$4,000 to s3.o0o-Jndge Lewis
Answers Criticisms.

The general relief committee held its
final meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon and adopted the fol-
lowing report to ex- Mayor Moran. which
bad been prepared by Judge ]. r. Lewis:
Hon Robert Moran, En- Mayor of Seattle: The
general relief committee OF Seattle appointed
by you Immediately alter the great Ere in our
city, in June, 1884, has disposed of al the busi-
ness and funds coming into its hands. The
whole amous.t OF cash received from the nu-
merous contributions was Sos, 7o9sS full
settlement was made with the treasurer, Hon.
E. P. Perry, on February IA. 1890 at which time
the books and papers with the secretary, Mr..
Gleason. exactly corresponded with the vouch-
ers Of the treasurer, and no doubt up to
that time all the funds appropriated by the
committee we're used for the purpose appropri-
ated. In November. 1889. the committee APP
pointed J. p. McCoomhs secretary to examine
and report all cases of relief, and upon his re.
port checks were drawn by the committee or
two members thereof, in favor of the parties to
whom relief was granted Such checks were
handed to the secretary to deliver to the parties
named. and In many instances he appropriated
to his own use portions of the amounts named
In these checks. The amount of such checks
was generally small. and from the
report OF the special committee
IL seems that there were checks
so drawn in the sum of ss,56S10, and on many
OF the them names of the papers were forged.
How much of such funds were appropriated it
10 impossible for US TO ascertain. The auditing
committee has ventured no opinion, and the at
torney employed by our special committee gives
ii rs his opinion that it is impossible tosay
within several hundred dollars what sum he
may have appropriated. but it is certainly not
30 much as has been generally believed.
From personal Information touching that
matter and careful confederation of ali the
facts. we are of opinion that the sum embezzled
by McCombs win not exceed the sum of from
$500 to ST. 600. This of course, is the approx
mate amount: the exact truth cannot be ascer-
tanned In no case was McC )ombs permitted to
draw any checks f. his favor except for his sal
AIRY, q few in small sums for expenses. From
the report of the special committee:
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1890-08-19


All the claims against the committee have
been,paid of which we have knowledge, and
the balance on hand, as per former order of
this committee, should go to the Ladies' Relief
Society.
Your committee has devoted much time to
the business submitted to its care. and has con-
Quoted such business in such manner as was
have erred in many matters. but that the gen.
eral purpose and design OF the contributors WAS
carried ont we feel assured.
The contributions made for the relief OF our
people were liberal and prompt, and we feel
that the warm sympathy extended to us has
done much to aid and encourage US in rebuild
ing the city. All books, papers and vouchers of
the committee are are in the safe deposit vaults
in the city. Respectfully, J. R. LEWIS,
For the Committee
The discussion on the report consisted
chiefly of a defense of the committee
against the statements of the PosT-INTELr
L.GEScER in regard to the McCoombs en-
bezzlement. Judge Lewis called attention
to al article in the PosT-lNTELLIGENcER of
last Sunday, and stated that McCoombs
had not stolen $1,000, but only between
$500 and 5000. He said that the CON-
mittee had given its time to this work with
out payment, and that ne had attended at
relief headquarters every day for three
months until he fell i'll and was confined
TO his bed for three months, and afterwards
had to go away for six months. He would
not do the same work for any private
party for SIC, 000 but he did not expect any
gratitude from the public. He asked
nothing of the public. and therefore did not
care how much he was abused. Though
he had been absent the greater part of the
time when the relief committee was at
work. he readily accepted his share of re-
sponsibility for all it had done. In the
matter Of the employment of McCoombs,
the committee had sent TO Sheriff McGraw
for man, and the sheriff had recon-
mended McCoombs. ANY other man
would have been satisfied with the recon-
mendation of Mr.. McGraw, and would not
have gone into an investigation of the
mans moral character. They had
ten men, and it just happened
that one of the ten was thief.
John Leary and other members Endorsed
Judge Lewis's statements and advocated
ignoring newspaper criticism. In the
course of the discussion the question of the
amount of McCoombs' stealings came up,
and the general opinion was that it was be-
tween 81 500 and 5000.
1t was decided TO turn over the balance
of 81. S30.56 to the Ladies Relief Society
Immediately. that body to pay any out
standing bills which might yet come in,
though none such were known to exist.

FALSE AND REAL nYDRoPHoBIA
The Dreaded Disease Results Sometimes
From an Active Imagination.
Dr. w. A. Hammond.

DIR. w. A. Hammond.
1t may be laid down in the very Begin
ming of our consideration of the subject
that the victim OF false hydrophobia can
only have those symptoms of which he has
knowledge. Unfortunately the real dis
ease has received so much notice from
newspapers and other popular publications
that tolerably correct knowledge of its
phenomena has been acquired by the
fatty. Hence we find that the picture
ordinarily presented by the uncon-
scious simulator IS, at least to cursory
observation, not unlike the real affection.
There are. however, great differences
which the educated physician will not fail
to detect, and which will enable him to do
what has never been yet done with real
hydrophobia-cHre the patient.
Hydrophobia never originates. in the
human subject at least, except by inocula-
ton from rabid animal, and death always
occurs in four or five days after the develop
ment of the disease. A case OF so-called
hydrophobia came under my notice in
which il was stated that the patient had
been bitten some months previously by
dog undoubtedly hydrophobic- | inquired
as TO what had become OF the dog. and was
informed that he was still living. having
recovered. 1t was not necessary TO exam
inc any further into the particulars of this
case, for if the dog had really been the sub
ject of hydrophobia he would have been
dead very shortly after biting my patient
Again. it often happens that person
easily affected by suggestion has what he
conceives to be the symptoms Of hydro
phobia developed soon after having been
bitten by a supposed rabid animal, whereas
the real disease rarely supervenes until
after month has elapsed from the time
of incubation. 1t is true there are cases
on record in which the period of incubation
was less than that, but they are exceed
ingIy rare. In my own case the time
mas varied from twenty-five days TO
four months and q half. Cases In
which the disease is said to have super
vened many years after an alleged innocu-
lation ought to be received with doubt
The interval probably never exceeds two
years or less than ten DAYS.
