CASE IS
TREATED AS MEASLES

Clara May Emmert died of conflu-
ent. commonly called black smallpox,
in the Isolation hospital last night.
1t developed today that Mrs Enmert
came to Spokane from Odessa, secur-
ed room in the AIohr building at
the northeast corner of Sprague ave-
nue. and Monroe street and was treat
ed ten days by local physician for
measles.
After sensational miXup of phy>i-
clans and landlady, the stricken woman
was removed to the Isolation hospi-
tai on the 10Th of last month She
steadily grew worse until the end came
last night.
In speaking Of the matter today. City
Health Officer DR.. Newman said:
This woman was treated by ply
stefan who thought she had measles.
He kept on thinking she had measles
until her face broke out in one of the
worst cases of smallpox recently re-
ported to the health department.
The woman got in such shape that
the suspicious of the landlady of the
Mohr building was aroused. A row

Troublesome Curve.

Mayor Boyd, Corporation Counsel
Judson and the board of public works
were busy today discussing the man
ner in which the Spokane Traction
company can make the curve at
Sprague avenue and Mill street.
1t was stated today, and apparently
with authority, that the chief reason
for the strong objection of the trac-
ito company to making the outer curve
in order to give five-foot margin in
passing the curb on the corner, was
because such outer curve would inter-
fere with the traction building west
on Sprague avenue from Mill street.
At the city hall there is little doubt
but that the Spokane Traction COM
pany intends to extend its line west
on Sprague and First avenues, and
south, probably on Adams street, and
west from Adams on Third avenue
through Cannon'5s and Brownies addi-
ton to the high bridge over Hangman
creek, where they expect to connect
with their proposed line to Medical
Lake and Cheney.
One plan is for the traction company
to put up bond guaranteeing Rosen-
haupt brothers. owners Of the north
east corner of Sprague avenue and
Mill street, against loss. The Rosen-
haupts are the ones who have raised
the objections to the proposed man
ner of the traction company rounding
the corner.

started and the attending physician
dropped out. A prominent local physi-
clan was called in and he threw u3
his hands as soon as he saw the woman
and sent word of the true status vi
the case to the health department.
1t was a wretched case of medical
treatment and does not speak very well
for the ability of some Of the local
members of the profession.
Il cannot give you the name of the
physician. because | do not remem-
Der it. Anyway, he was no worse than
another doctor who treated smallpox
case for measles until he himself was
taken down aud nearly died of the dis
ease.
The variety of smallpox with which
We are now dealing is continent SMALL
Pox one of the worst forms. For the

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Dixon is

United States Shipbuilding company
case. He was closely questioned re-
garding the cash on hand when the
Crescent Shipbuilding company was

the books showed the figures. Attor-

books showed IA surplus of $215, 200,
there was an actual deficit of $780,
600. Dixon denied such knowledge.
Dixon said it was a question of
experts advice regarding the various
plants. Guthrie wanted to know

PANAMA. Nov. 5.--The situation
on the isthmus this morning was
most serious. General Torres, COM
manding the Colombian troops at CO.
Ion, refused to follow the example
of Panama and secede from Colombia,
and threatened to send troops from
Colon to Panama in case the latter
city does not surrender.
1t is reported that Colombian SOL
diers at Colon threatened to burn the
city and murder all sympathizers
with the revolution, as well as all
American residents. The latter have
appealed for protection to the cruiser
Nashville, which is in Colon harbor.
The presence of the American
cruiser Nashville at Colon undoubted-
ly is the only cause of avoidance Of
bloodshed. Should Torres carry out
