LAURIUM LADY DIES OF
CANCER ON MONDAY NIGHT

Mrs. Fred Kopp aged SO years, died
Monday night, after an illness of more
than a year. A cancer of the stom-
ach was the cause of her demise. Mrs.
Kopps demise is the IA ct that her
had been a resident of the copper
country for the past 2S years. She is
survived by an aged mother and two
sisters, who are Mrs. John Messner
and Mrs. Martin Gormann, both #
this city. She also leaves one daugh-
ter and four sons besides her sorrow
ing husband. The children are: Mrs.
Fred Hecker of Ahmeek, and John,
Fred, Martin and George who reside
in Calumet.
A rather pathetic feature Of Mrs.
Kopp's demise is the foot that her
husband and one son are quardntined
at the county detention hospital with
smallpox and were unable to be at her
death bed.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock
at the German Lutheran church of

SMALL POX NOT EPIDEMIC
STATES HEALTH OFFICER

In commenting upon the recent
smallpox scare, health officer ID. X.
Mcqueen stated yesterday that there
is little danger of the disease assum-
ing the proportions of an epidemic In
Laurium.
I'VE have not had new case for
over n week." answered the doctor
when asked whether the disease was
spreading. DIR. Mcqueen seemed In
clined to think there are no more
cases of this disease i'm Calumet and
vicinity than are natural for a town
of this size and that there is no rea-
son for alarm. Although a number OF
cases from different parts of the
county are being treated at the de-
tention hospital, the disease is i'm a
very mild form and none of the pa
tents are in any danger
Compulsory Vaccination.
The authorities of the Calumet pub
lie schools have announced that all
school children i'm Calumet. who have
not been vaccinated in recent years,
must get vaccinated at once. At
recent meeting the school board took
this matter under advisement and de-
cided that for the safety of the chill
dren such steps would be made COM
pulsory. The work will be taken up at
once, and after an examination of the
children in the schools by physicians,
a day will be set for vaccination. AS
a vaccination is only supposed TO BEN
eft the patient for a period of seven
years, and there has been no general
vaccination for a number of years IL
is deemed advisable to take this action.

Paris, Feb. 16.-The flood situa-

today. forcing the second evacua-
tion of the houses in Alfontville and
other suburbs, and undoing much Of
the work done since the former
crisis passed. A further rise in the
seine of four or five feet is predicted
as the result of general rains and

authorities do not anticipate a fall.
They say it is almost certain the rise
will be within four feet of the for
mer crest. One of the worst fea-
lures is that 1t will be necessary to

Trouble In Greece.

Constantinople, Feb. 16.-Long
standing friction between the Greek
army and navy reached its climax to-
day, according to dispatches from
Athens, when troops occupied the
city, anticipating an attack by the
navy. Athens Is wildly excited. Be
cause of the strict news censorship It
is believed the situation is much
worse than reports indicate. Cap
tain Typaldos, a Greek naval officer,
who recently headed a serious mu-
tiny, has returned to Athens, violat-
ing his parole to remain in exile two
years. His return Is believed to fore
shadow a fight for the appointment
of a military dictator of Greece, the
announcement of which is momen-
tarily expected. Colonel Zorbas.
head of the military league, is con-
sidered the logical candidate, but he
will be opposed by the navy.
King Georges position is believed
to be extremely precarious. Turkey
is making military preparations for
serious eventualities. The trouble
between the army and the navy re-
suits from the military leagues in
sistence on naval reforms involving
the suspension Of all promotions for
FIVE years and abolition of the posi-
tlons of rear admiral, vice admiral
and fifteen places OF lesser rank.
Junior naval officers were brought
into line by the military league.
which resulted in mutiny of Typal-
dalos and his followers.
