An Unwarranted Quarantine
 Against Wrangell
But Was of Too Short Duration to
 Do Any Serious Harm


 Wrangell was furnished with quite a bit of unexpected news when the City of Seattle arrived early Sunday morning No sooner had the steamer tied up at the dock than a local transfer man attempted to go aboard as usual. A guard at the gangplank turned him back, at the same time in- forming him that no Wrangellites would be permitted to go aboard nor would any through passen- gers be permitted to come ashore. J. G. Grant then interviewed the guard as to the cause for such an order, and was told that the mayor of Ketchikan had ordered a quarantine against Wrangell. MT. Grant lost no time in report ing the matter to Mayor Pritchett. The mayor thought Mr. Grant was undertah ing to play a prac- tical joke, as such news seemed too preposterous to be true. How ever, the mayor undertook to go aboard the vessel. He was promptly stopped. He then re- quested the guard to send word to the master of the vessel that the mayor would like to see him. Captain Bob McGilivray happened to be in command and very kindly responded to the request. When asked what it was all about Cap tain McGilivray very courteously explained that the Pacific Steam ship company had been officially advised that Ketchikan had es- tablished a quarantine against Wrangell on account of small pox at Wrangell. He also stated that before sailing from Ketchikan notice was served on him person. ally by Ketchikan authorities that if passengers were taken on board or permitted ,o go ashore at Wrangell his vessel would be quarantined.
 It was not yet daylight. but it was imperative that something be done at once. MT. and Mrs. William Patterson and several others had purchased tickets to Juneau and unless the Ketchikan orders could be overcome they would be left behind The mayor came uptown and got Dr. Shurick out of bed and requested him to officially notify the master of the City of Seattle that there was no small pox in Wrangell. The Doc tor wrote an official notification to Captain McGilivray tQ the ef- feet that Wrangell was absolutely free from small pox. Under his signature Dr. Shurick wrote Acting Assistant Surgeon of the Public Health Service of Alaska which would probably carry as much weight as any official mo- tices the steamship company had received from the municipality of Ketchikan.
 The mayor delivered the health officers note to Captain McGili- vray, and he immediately notified the purser that passengers would be taken on from Wrangell, and that any one aboard who cared to go ashore could do so.
 The mayor was leaving the boat when L. J. Mcdonald, a through passenger, called to him saying: Joe Baronouich was at the dock when we left Ketchikan and he asked me to try to send word to his wife to cable him to what extent the epidemic was spreading in Wrangell."

The thought of Wrangel being bottled up indefinitely on account of Q small pox epidemic" that was a myth, a delusion, and a snare, was anything but a pleas ing prospect. That the action of Ketchikan in quarantining against Wrangell was without the sanction of the Territorial Com missioner of Health is indicated by the follow ing cablegram:
 Juneau, Jan. g, 1920. Shurick,
 Wrangell.
 No knowledge quarantine ketchkan and NVrangell uhtil your cable. No need for such act. Do not approve. Will cable ketchikan same.
 
 Health Commissioners. Then came the following ca blegram from ketchikan which brings the story to an end with a smile
 Ketchikan. Ian. 26, 1920. Dr. 5. c. Shnrick,
 Wraneell.
 Glad to hear quarantine un- necessary. Lifted immediately. Thanks for prompt lnforina- ton.

If the history Of the theater in this
country WAS to be written today
there is little doubt that every faith
full historian would unquestionably
assign hrst place in point OF popular
ity to Hazel kirke." There Is at the
present time. just as there wad years
ago. when IT was hrst produced
something about the play that stamps
il as SO typical Of us as a. people that
it practically serves the purpose OF
being a national play.
All OF which adds a bit OF interest
to the presentation at the Shubert-
Belasco Theater the week OF June IA.
by Wagenhals and kemper company
Of the new play, "A Thief in the
Night" which Mary Roberts Rinehart
and Avery Hopwood have written.
Playing one of the important roles in
the cast is Effie Ellsler. the original
Hazel kirke.
There are hundreds OF thousands OF
theatergoers who know and admire
Miss Ellsier's work, and yet who
never think OF referring to her as
other than Hazel Kirke." This. too.
despite the fact that she has created
some of the most important roles.ever
presented on the American stage, and
has the distinction of having been the
first star to be presented by the then
ncwly FORMED Hrfn oi Ma" q E@i
langer.
During the past year Miss Ellsler
starred through the country in "Old
Lady 81" but despite the fact that
not only was the play a great sue
cess, but that she. too. scored a per-
sonal triumph in it, her mail in every
city was fairly loaded down with
notes commencing her-not for what
she was doing at the time, but for
what she did when she was Hazel
Kirke.
One of the interesting announce
ments for the near future is that con-
cerning the presentation by the hrm
