J. Smith, president of the Alameda Min- ing and Investment Company, sought ! to convict E. G. Northrup, the corpora- tion’s manager, of distiurbing his peace. The board of -directors held a lively session’ at Smith’s residence, i1 Port- land avenue. In an altercation Smith ordered Northiup out of the house.: The manager refused to go.

W. Conklin of 1619 Oregon street, is dead. With her jaws locked. from bléod poisoning and her body !’ writhing’ in terrible agony the <chflfl} jpassed away early this morning at the family residence in spite of all that.two gocu_:ru and two nurses could do for| er. k. o That the child died from lockjaw as thé direet. result of vaccination the physicians who participated in the case ido not doubt, but they do not agree! | that de‘:{x was absolutely- unavoidable. i Dr. Frank R. Woolsey, as vaccination¥- officer for Berkeley, performed the op- eration in this case, but he maintains that the blood poisoning that killed the | | child was not the result of the applica- tion of the virus, but of the unsanitary |-/ | conditions’-surrounding her home 'life. 1On the other hand, Dr. Woodson W. ‘Allen. who tredted the child in her last illness, declarés that the child’s condi- | tion was not.due mereiy to lack of san- itation. ; T R The child was vaccinated on August ‘Q by Dr. Woolsey. She coniinued going, to school unfil last Friday, when she first began to show symptoms of seri-.|’ }ous iliness. By Monday- ihe child was in such a condition that Dr. Allen was: called in, and subsequently Dr. C. Z. Ellis. The disease, which the physi- cians diagnosed as lockjaw, continued j_ to progress, however, until this morn- ling, when the patient passed away. Dr. Allen’s refusal to sign the death’ cer- tificate precipitated the.casé into the hands of the Coroner, so that there will be an investigation. “My attention was called to the case Monday. morning,” said, Dr. Allen to- day. “I found the jaws set and the| child suffering greatly.. T telephoned the Health Office to take charge of the | case,. but there being.no "response 1 attended the child myself: Siubsequent- ly I called Dr. Ells into consultation and he confirmed my diagnosis. It was| too Jate then to save the child’s life An effort had been made to show tha ‘uncleanliness cauged the blood poison to dévelop, but in my opinion the’ child’s condition was-just right to con- tract such & disease after vaccination. | If she had not been vaccinated- she | would have_been alive now.” | The father, of the child charges ‘that | Dr. Woolsey avoided his responsibility in ‘the case, but to this the doctor re- plies that his responsibility ended with the vacecination operation. In defense of hjs action in the case Dr. Woolsey says: X 9 * As’ vaceination officer jt is my duty to veccinate hundreds of children that come to my office, . This child.was one of them and I treated her with the same Government-inspect- #d_virus as the others. My duty ends aft I have applied the virus, and as all further treatment by. me is gratuitous I am not ex- pected to keep track of these hundreds of cases, much ‘legs visit them at their homes. 1t is worthy of remark that of the hundreds' of vacéinated children this one child should have succumbed to the operation. = From what I know of the case the trouble. was unsanitary conditions surrounding the girl at her home. Certainly the anti-vaccinationists -have no right ty claim that vaccine was wholly responsible when- hundreds of other children have passed threugh the ordeal safely. 2 4 The public may be interesteil in the official dnta_of the case. The child was vaccinated on August 6 and .went on with Her school werk for twenty d before she became fll. -LITTLE MYRTLE CONELIN OF |’ BERKELEY.
