CASE OF SMALLPOX AT HAYNES

Judge GunI ison last evening receiy- ed q telegram signed II. O. Banta, chairman committee of Health and Safety, announcing that a case ofsmall- pox had developed in the lrdian village on the water front and asked that a physician be sent, and also asking what action might be taken for the public safety. Also wire about the same time was received from Dr. Hutton to the same effect and saying that quarantine had been established by Fort Wm. H.. Seward against the towns-many persons having been eX- posed. Judge Gunnison wired In reply that it was matter that should te taken up with the gOvernOr-actinG governor Dlstin in absence of the gov ernor-or with the acting collector of
 
 customs, since the establishing of quarantine was matter that comes under the jurisdiction of the treasury department.
 Advices received by the Alaskan today are to the effect that the matter in not serious as yet, there being but one case so far. The people .ot Haines, without organization as they are, nevertheless have taken energetic and united action to preveot the spread of the disease and, under the direction of the committee of health and safety have isolated the case.
 The board of health held a meeting this afternoon and a message from Dr. Hutton to Mayor Shea was read in which it was stated that the case was effectively quarantined out of town and that no trouble was antici. pateed. The board decided to direct Captain Madsen, of the Hegg, to bring no native passengers from Haines. Others and the mail might come. The matter was left in the hands of Dr. Brawand

department was called. but the firemen
were unable to stay the destruction.
There was no steam in the boiler when

pumps were useless. Had the pumps
been in working order it Is believed that
the fire could have been extinguished
with little loss.
The blaze was first discovered by a
waiter. There were twenty-five colored
men asleep on the boat. and when they
were awakened they had no time to
dress They fed from the burning steam
er and shivered in blankets on the pier
watching the vessel burn.
Soon after the crew had reached the
shore it was discovered that four colored
walters were missing. One of the sailors
been trapped below decks by the flames
and had perished.
Lost Clothing and Money.
The colored men had been paid Tues
day and besides their clothing most
of them lost their money, in some cases
as much as 500. Four of the colored
men on the steamer are missing, and 1t
is thought they perished In the flames.
One of the victims is Joseph Matthews.

he disappeared from view and never re-
turned Matthews had worked on the
boat for several years.
Some citizens who had ventured on

fire and barely escaped with their Nves.

positions of trust and satisfied the laws

He also made a touching appeal in the
name of kemps mother, now over eighty
years of age, who had expressed the hope
that she might live to see her son after
his atonement had been made.
Gould Sentences Prisoner.
Justice Gould, in passing sentence. de-
clared it was painful duty he was called
upon to exercise.
Il knew Kemp for many years" he
said, .'and his best friend was no more
surprised than 1 to learn of his defalca-
ton. Influence has been brought to bear
on me to exercise extreme clemencv and
suspend sentence. but L have a duty to
discharge to the public.
Kemp occupied a position of trust and
he betrayed it. 1t would be useless to sit
in a criminal court and ignore tie gravity,
Of an offenSe committed by a man of in,
teiligence and education. I should then
feel had no right TO condemn the igno-

Kemp did not consider his old 1nother.s

the law to do so?
II will take into account his former
koou cHdiaCteE anu MS present phyStca I
