Is IT SMALL POX?
Panic Created at Episcopal Hall
This Morning.
Young nagaas Said toIHaye Disease
Statement by Captain Marshall
PHYSICIANS Disagree sChicken P0x'
Says City Health Officer Supported
by Majority of Doctors.

Physicians Disagree .sChicken Pox''
Says City Health Officer Supported
by Majority Of Doctors.
The report was circulated about
town this morning that case OF
small pox had developed at the Epis-
copal Hall. 1t created considerable
excitement, especially among the
residents of the Hall. Many of
those who nave rooms there proposed
to leave at once, and veritable
panic was threatened.
The unfortunate young man whose
illness was the indirect cause Of the
threatened exodus is Student Ha-
gans, of Pennsylvania. He has a
disease which three doctors say is
chicken pox. The situation was
serious and the hall people feared
quarantine and small pox.
Captain Marshall, who has charge
of the Hall, this morning gave this
signed statement to the New DoMIN-
ION:
II desire to make plain state
ment of the facts in regard 10 the
report that there is small pox at the
Episcopal Hall, and am willing that
the public shall judge for themselves.
We have had chicken pox among the
children al the Hall for about two
weeks. The case that is now pro-
nounced small pox by one physician
and chicken pox by three is that of a
young man who has never had chick
en- pox before He is the only grown
person who has caught the disease
from the children. 1t looks to me
very much as though it was private
quarrel between the doctors, because
on previous occasion they were at
odds about similar disease. AT
TINS time, however, their positions
were reversed-the doctor who now
pronounees it small pox insisting
then that it was chicken pox, aad
those who now contend it is chicken
pox claiming at that time it was
small pox."
Signed. CAPT. VIC. MARSHALL.
Captain Marshall is in no pleasant
state of mind over the matter. He
says he has been here for five years,
and three years the little colony in
the Hall has been broken up by a
small pox scare. He thinks it i'm.
possible that young Hagans could
get the disease. He has not been
out of town since Xmas, and could
have got it nowhere unless at the
University.
The physicians in the case disa-
gree. Yesterday, one or two who
saw it, pronounced it acne, which is
not a contagious disease. This
morning DR.. J. w. Hartigan stated
to the county health officer, DR.
Taught, that the disease from which
young Hagans suffers is yerioioid.
Yesterday DR.. Taught was of the
opinion that it was not small pox.
At two O'clock today he had not seen
the case since, and would not make
a statement.
At one o'clock DIR. r. III. Edmond
son, city health officer, went to the
Episcopal Hall to post warning of
"Chicken Pox." He thinks the dis
ease is chicken pox. He stated at
the time that Dir. Wade, DR.. Cox, DIR.
Warner and DR.. Taught bad pro-
noanced it chicken pox. Dr. Taught
will make another examination this
afternoon, and as the county health
officer will decide what is to be done.

ORA. r. Warden of the State Beard
OF Health was called Sunday afternoon
| by the local health bead to examine
Student Hagans who is i'll at Episco-
copal Hall and see what allied him.
DR.. Warden after making the exam
ination stated that the patient has
chicken pox. 1t was suspected that
be had small pox and Two or three
physicians so stated.
They refuse to be convinced that it
is not and are waiting for new cases
TO appear to confirm their opinion.
The other physicians are very much
relieved and the Inmates OF the hall are
also elated over the finding.
DIR. Warden has been in several sec
tions Of the State recently looking af-
ter the small pox situation. He says
that he has seen more than 200 cases
IN the last tnree weeks.
The situation in Preston county is
said to be very disquieting. Here is
small pex scattered in every direction.
At Newburg there are twenty-five or
thirty cases. Other towns.in the coun-
ty are also afflicted heavily with the
malady, So far there have been no
deaths in Preston.
Dr. Warden returned to his home
this morning. The patient at the
hall is isolated from the household OF
course but the people In the Hall are
permitted their liberty as a result of
the finding Of DR.. Warden.

the Outbreak.
Reports from Preston county OF
small pox are rather disquieting,
The disease is widely scattered
through the county, and the steps
which have been taken to check it
have proven unavailing so far. The
only redeeming feature about 1t all
is that the malady is not at all viru-
lent. In all cut one case the pa
tients are recovering or expected to
recover.
The B. d o. has quarantined every
town from Oakland to Independence.
There are fifteen cases at Newburg
and other towns have their proper
ton of the disease.
All of the schools in Kingweod
district, numbering eighteen, have
were closed yesterday for an lndefi-
mite period. Nearly all of them in
Lyon district have also been shut up.
William r. Shaffer, of Trent street.
was teaching school in Preston and
five cases of small pox appeared in
his school. lie is now at home and
his school is suspended. What pre-
cautions he has taken to prevent the
disease from being brought here by
him are not apparent on the face of
things.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Greaser, of near
Reedsville, are sick with small pox
and the former is not expected 10
recover. This is the only serious
case reported there, although there
have heen several deaths at Oakland
and in that section.
There is no telling when tie dis
ease will develop into something very
serious, and MorgantowD should
take steps to protect itself at once.
