I uncertain period, unless the need of
; conversing with the chief surgeon
or others at the hospital is urgent.
The members of the staff have
i been kept quite busy during the
past two days answering calls rela

-and their condition and they cannot
j continue to be occupied in that
manner without neglecting other and
much more important work.
A general statement regarding

apart for the care of such cases.
The cases thus far developed, he
said, were not of a serious type,
but he explained that the epidemic
sometimes takes a more virulent
form on entering a new district,
and while he anticipated no serious
results, he said he believed the pub
| lie should be prepared for any emer
gency. The concentration of pa
[tients, he said, in one building or
;as few buildings as possible, would
! greatly aid the situation by reducing
'the work of attendance,
j, Those present at the meeting last
, night, and who will constitute the
permanent general eommittee to
have charge of the situation until
I
;the epidemic is over, were: Robert
Joseph Diven, Dr. M. E. Smith and
I Martin Xush, of the health board;

I of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission; Mayor Oscar Rothenburg

such additions necessary.
Deputy Marshal Hagan assured
the committee that he would prevent
; the assembling of crowds in busi
ness places or elsewhere, and he will
'have the assistance of special depu
ties should the need for them arise,
to enforce the rules and regulations
I of the health board.

Pursuant to a call issued by Mrs.
' F. D. Browne, chairman of the local

, of assisting in flu prevention and
| cure Mrs. M. J. Cooney acted as
t chairman of the meeting in the ab
sence of Mrs. Browne, who is con

[lists of articles should be prepared,
[one to be given to the committee
land the other to be retained. And
jin this connection it. is urged that

be plainly marked, so that there will
I
be no confusion when the articles
are returned. The News will be
glad to furnish tags free to all who
i will use them for that purpose.
The ladies also have issued a call

ing to serve in that capacity are
j requested to report to Mrs. J. R.

Maslca Are Worn.
Postmaster McDonald and the
members of his force donned flu
masks early this morning, and the
suggestion has been made that res
taurants, barber shops and business
places in general observe the same
precaution. It is . pointed out that

Cooney Hotel Taken.
It was decided this afternoon by
the health board and the special
committee appointed last night to
take charge of the flu situation, to
commandeer the entire Cooney hotel
for use as a temporary hospital dur
ing the epidemic. After inspecting
the schoolhouse, it was decided that
the buiiding could not be used with
out considerable preparation, and
arrangements were accordingly made
to take immediate possession of the
Cooney hotel, which can be made to
accommodate nearly 100 patients.
Should there be more than that num
ber, arrangements will then be made
for additional accommodations.
At a late hour this afternoon,
Health Officer Smith informed The
News of the development of a num
ber of new cases, the total number
of known eases at present being 15.
Several patients are expected from j
out the line this afternoon.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
For the information of all who
have felt a disposition to question
the authority of the Health Board’s
action of April 27, in ordering
closed all places of public assembly
and forbidding assembly in pool
halls, stores, etc., the following is
respectfully presented, quoted from
“an Act in aid of the suppression
of the ‘Spanish Influenza' and other
similar epidemics”:
“Section 6. That the rules and
regulations made under authority of
this Act by the Governor of Alaska,
the assistant commissioners of
health and the local boards of health
shall have the force and effect of
law, and any person who knowingly
violates any of the provisions of this
Act or interferes with any health
officer or other officer in the per
formance of the duties placed upon
him by this Act shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished for each
offense by a fine of not less than
one hundred dollars ($100.00) or
more than one thousand dollars
($1,000.00) or imprisonment of not
less than thirty (30) days or more
than six (6) months, or by both
fine and imprisonment, and it is
hereby made the duty of all United
States marshals and their deputies
and all peace officers to assist in
the enforcement of this Act."
