INCREASE IN SMALLPOX.
Twelve Cases Reported to the Health
Department.

There were eleven cases Of smallpox re-
ported to the District health officer yester-
day. Six of these cases were mentioned in
The Star, ard the remaining five were not
reported until late last evening, the five
afflicted persons being found at 2G0S X
street, the patients being James Green,
twenty two years: Henry Berkeley, aged
twenty years: William Reynolds, five years
old Albert Reynolds. three years of age,
and Raymond Reynolds, twenty-six years
of age. James Green is supposed to have
contracted the disease in Virginia, where he
has been working on "a railroad, and the
others in the house are believed to have
contracted it from him. The five persons
were removed to the smallpox hospital and
the house disinfected and placed in quar-
antine
Another case was reported to the health
depart nent today, the patient being John
+. Scott colored, twenty-ntne years of age.
SCOTS brother WAS removed to the hospital
several days ago from 1909 9TH street south
east and the case developed today was,
therefore. in an infected house.
While the large Number of cases discov-
cred here yesterday has made the situation
rather serious one, still DR.. VIM. e..
Woodward. the health officer does not be-
lieve that there is any cause for general
alarm. Smallpox is said to exist in Nir-
ginia, and it is believed the great majority
of the cases found here during the past
several weeks may be attributed to colored
persons visiting the District from that
state. Every effort is being made by the
health department to control and stamp out
the disease here. and these efforts. it Is
confidently believed will prevent any gen.
eral spread Of it in the District.

Amendments Proposed.
Notices of amendments to be proposed
mex. year to the constitution and bylaws
were then given by several members, after
which the institute proceeded to consider
the amendments proposed for this year.
The proposition to amend article >, section
l, of the bylaws by serting after the word

aroused considerable debate. 1t was
strongly opposed. Dr. Kline remarking mat
it was something against which the insti-
tute had set its face from the very begin
ming. and upon vote the amendment was
rejected.
The proposition to amend article 6. sec
ton ) of the bylaws by adding the words

cessive years" was amended by DR.. Mofhtt
by the Insertion at the end Of the words

The matter of the modification of the defi-
milton of a homeopathic physician as de-
termined upon last year was then taken up,
and DR. Kline offered the following substl-
tute:
"A homeopathic physician is one who
adds to his general knowledge of medicine
a special knowledge OF homeopathic lherd-
peutics and observes The law of simiia. All
that pertains to medicine is his by tradition,
by Inheritance and by right.
A number of the members spoke against
this definition. on the ground that there
was no necessity for any otner definition
than that contained in the Organon of sam
uel Hahnemann. but the definition as above
amended was finally accepted by The lnsti-
tute by an almost unanimous vote
Delegates to Homeopathic Congress.
Dr. Kline presented the names of num-
Der of members of the society who had been
selected as delegates to The international

the ground that it was unnecessary. and

Steamer Multnomah Disabled.

The steamer Multnomah, plying be-
tween Tacoma, Seattle and Olympia, met
with serious accident when just off Al-Ki
point yesterday morning which will prob
ably disable her for nearly, if not quite,
two weeks. A broken crank-pin narrowly
missed killing the cook and mess boy
and caused small panic on board the
steamer. The piston rod flew out of the
head of the cylinder when the pin broke,
crashing into the mess table Not five
seconds before the accident the cook, who
had been sitting at the table, had moved
around. Otherwise the big rod would
probably have torn off both his legs AS
1t was, his knees we're skinned es though
by a knife The rod demolished the table,
knocking over the mess boy and cook and
crashed into partition, sending splintes
flying about. The cylinder head was
broken into small bits and pieces driven
through the wood partitions.
The boat was filed with escaping steam
in few moments The chief engineer,
who was on the cabin deck, ran down
stairs at the crash and managed to crawl
along the floor and reach the rod control
ling the steam supplying the cylinders.
The port cylinder, upon examination, was
found to be worthless. The total damage
will be about S1oo After the excitement
following the explosion, the Multnomah
managed to proceed to her berth and will
lay at Seattle until the damage can be re-
paired.
The Multnomah is owned by S. G,
Simpson, There was no afternoon boat
for Olympia Arrangements were made
during the afternoon, however, whereby
the City of Shelton will take the Multno-
mah's place and ply between the same
time until the damage has been repaired
The City of Aberdeen, the alternating
boat with the Multnomah, will proceed on
her own time as usual.-Ledger
