Scott Faces Moose
to Protect Brother

Bu United Press
CHICAGO, July 14.-Love for his
brother has determined Robert Scott
to stand possible execution for the
murder of Joseph Maurer, Chicago
drug clerk.
Faced with the alternative of testi-
flying against Russell Scott, his
brother, under sentence to hang for
the same crime, Robert indicated
through his attorney that he would
change his plea of guilty to one of
not guilty when court opened this
morning.
Judge William N. Gemmill, be-
fore whom Robert plead guilty yes
terday, said that he would refuse to
pass sentence before he had heard
the whole story of the marder from
the defendants own lips. Rather
than testify, consequently, that Rus
sell had fired the fatal shots, and
thereby change a possible death
sentence into a life term. Robert in
structed his attorney to change his
plea Of guilty to one of not guilty
and to start impanneling a jury.

Vaccination Urged
3y the Wrangel Board of Health as a Safeguard Against Smallpox Which Is Now Prevalent on
 the Pacific Coast

The presence of black smallpox on the Pacific coast and the knoWl- edge that there are a number of cases in Seattle at the present time. is just cause for considerable ap- prehension throughout Alaska. and especially this southeastern section.
 Since last Saturday no one has been permitted to board a steamer Tor Alaska without a certificate Of vaccination. This preeaution, how ever. is not a guarantee that the disease will not make is appear ance in Alaska. Before the yaeci= nation order went into effect in Se- attle many persons had already left that port for Alaska, coming north on small craft as well as the big steamers.
 The time within which a person is liable to be taken down with smallpox after being exposed is from eight to fourteen days in ordi- nary cases. One person arriving here from the infected area could easily expose half the population of the town while being taken down himself.
 The smallpox which is now on the Coast is of such an unusally severe form that it is believed to have been brought form the Orient The death rate during the present epidemic has been so shocking as to cause alarm throughout the western part of the United States.
 The Wrangell Board of Health has not thus far issued any execu- tive orders regarding preventative measures. However, the Board does strongly urge that all persons in Wrangell get Yaceinated at once, excepting of course those who have already been Yaccinated. Several hundred vaccine points have been received from the States. The cost of being vaceinated is nominal, and the temporary inconvenience there from is nothing in comparison with the scourge of the loathsomc disease from which it is possible to be immune through vaccination
