Tacoma. July l3.-lSpeclal. + Tonight
Charles E. Marvin, returning from Seattle,
refused to submit to the quarantine regu-
lations requiring vaccination. He resisted
the officers and was placed under arrest,
together with Miss Mcintosh, whom he
escorted. Marvin has leading business
connections here and at Seattle, and he
held that Tacoma was not maintaining
quarantine against Seattle, therefore he
should not be molested. Mayor Huson Or
dered Marvin released, but the officers re-
fused to comply until the chief of police
also ordered it. This incident has aroused
dormant opposition to the quarantine of
Seattle passengers, and the same may be
now suspended.
