H. V. Williams, OF No. 400 West Cary

Hollywood Cemetery Company, was re-
ported to the Board OF Health yester-
day as suffering from smallpox, in the
third days development. He was re-
moved last night to the City Small
pox Hospital, under charge Of DR.. "A.
B. Curd. Officers of the Board of
Health fumigated the house thorough
", vaccinating all the inmates and or
dering a general vaccination in the
neighbour God. Williams said he had
once been vaccinated when a boy. but
that it didn't take. and he had never
tried it again. There was no visible
scar to indicate any vaccination. At
tempts were at once made to trace the
history of the case. Williams saying
that some time ago one OF the en-
ployes at Hollywood had case OF
."chickenpoX," from which he recovered.
Chief Health officer Levy says this
was In all probability case OF mild
smallpox, which was not reported to
the board. and from which other In
