SMALLPOX CASES
FOUND IN WARW0OB.
- -..-3ff
Situation May Become Serious Unlese1
Immediate Precautions s.%5
Arc Taken. GfgS

Several cases Of smallpox have de.
veloped among few of the colored
residents of Warwood, and 1t Is
thought that several more will devel:
Cd within the next few days. Dr.. John
C. Hupp, county health commissioner.
quarantined the houses Of the victims
yesterday, and states that he will prob
ably quarantine several more to-day. ;
DR.. Hupp Is Of the opinion that not
enough emphasis can be placed on the
fact that residents Of this district
should undergo vaccination. He says
that II he can obtain the cooperation
OF the residents of Warwood and get
their promise to take all precautions
against the spreading OF the plague,
the present epidemic can be stamped
out in a short time.
The several cases that are undea
DR.. Hupp's observation do not prom.
ise to become serious, but conditions
ARE likely to change. on short notice.
A convincing fact Of the value OF vac.
cination is displayed by the investigas
ton Of the victims, which shows that
not one of them have ever been VAC,
cinated. The number Of unvaccinated3
persons In Warwood is abnormAlty
great, as has been shown by previous
investigations. 10

.RECE|VERSH|P ASKED
FOR ROYAL ARCANUM
Order Is Declared HopeIessIy insolv
ent and Unable to Meet lts
Obligations.

BOSTON, Aug. 29.-Arthur F. Cum.
mings and james F. Upstone, both OF
Nashua, n. H., to-day filed a bill In
equity in the United States District
Court here asking the appointment OF
receiver for the Royal Arcanum, a
fraternal insurance order, on the al
legged ground that its funds had been
impaired by doubtful investments and
the loss of a large number OF mem
bers. The bill charges that the order
has become hopelessly insolvent and
that its resources are insufficient TO
meet its obligations.
This is the second receivership pro-
ceeding brought against the Royal Ar
canum in recent months. On petition
of Arthur NJ. Hobart, Of Braintree, the
district court appointed Thomas j.
Boynton temporary receiver, but the
order was revoked by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, which
held that the lower court was without
authority to act, as the right to seek
receivership for fraternal insur-
ance organization in Massachusetts
was vested solely in the attorney gen.
eral. The Appellate Court yesterday
denied Hobart a rehearing.
Counsel for the petitioners to-day
contended that as the bill was brought
by citizens Of another State the point
raised by the Court Of Appeals in the
Hobart suit would not apply.

vice with the colors have been an
nOunced by Provost Marshal Gen.
eral CrOwder. The new regula-
tions are coincident with the di-
vision of eligibles into five classes,
and the circulation of official
questionaires. The new regula-
ton repeals all preceding rcgula-
tiOns, cancels all exemptions and
discharges granted under the old
system and restores every regis
tered man to his original status.
He will hereafter be required to
undergo all examinations anew
and present his claim for exemp.
ton again. As the new classifi-
cations make more liberal pro-
visions for leaving men with de-
pendents in the classes to he called
last. it is practically certain that
every man who has a legitimate
exemption on the ground of de-
Tendencies under the old regula-
tions, will get the same under the
new ones. The first class. which
embraces men wholly without de-
pendents. is expected to bring in
fully 100000 men. The ques-
tionaires beginning Dec. Is. are to
be circulated among the regis
trants at the rate of 5 per cent Of
each local registration each day.
Volunteer medical and legal
boards being organized in each
district will assist registrants in
making out the forms and sup
porting affidavits which are very
complete. All exemptions are
cancelled Dec. Is.
