ICHTHYOSIS
Ichthyosis is a general or partial malformation of
the skin characterized by dryness, roughnt:'Ss and
thickening of the epidermis which is cast off in furfuraceous to plate-like scales. lnllammatory phenomena are absent. The condition is congenital
though it may not be sufficiently pronounced to attract attention for a year or more after birth. There
are various grades of the deformity. The mildest is
described as xerosis or xeroderma. In this there is
mere harshness and branny scaliness of the skin
more marked on the extensor surfaces of the extremities and associated perhaps with some conic
epidermic elevations about the mouths of the hair
follicles on the outer aspects of the arms and thighs.
Next in intensity is ichthyosis simplex in which the
skin is rough, dry, slightly lustrous and crinkly, with
the upper layers of the epidermis cracked to form
pea to fmgcr nail sized, mica-like, polygonal scales
which adhere at their centers but loosen and often
warp outward at the edges. The plate-like scaliness
recalls the appearance of a fish skin, as the name
indicates, but the scales of ichthyosis never ovcrl::l.o. The lines and furrows of the skin are more
wldely separated and deeper than normal. In more
marked cases the scales are thicker and often discolored a dirty or greenish gray or brown, and regions seldom affected by the milder forms, such as
the face, scalp, and flexor surfaces of the joints,
may be more or less involved. But even with a
universal ichthyosis the skin of the face is usually only moderately changed, so that it appears somewhat shiny and tense, abnormally dry,

and in places crackled and rough. Occasionally
there is a more o r less pronounced ectropion. The
scalp is furfuraceous and the hair fine, dry and lusterless. Ichthyosis hystrix is a very rare form in
which occur circumscribed patches of dark colored,
verrucous, spiny or bark-like horny masses of
thickened epidermis. This type is never universal.
In any case of ichthyosis the skin deformity increases somewhat from childhood to adu lt life, and
then remains about stationary. Ichthyosis simplex
nc\"cr develops into ichthyosis h;ystrix. As a rule,
the condition causes no subjective symptoms other
than occasional slight itching, though sometimes the
elasticity of the skin is so impaired that painful fissures are formed in the flexures about the joints.
No cause for ichthyosis is known other than heredity. The malformation frequently occurs in various
members of a family. It may skip one or more
generations. There are many cases in which a
hereditary influence cannot be discovered. DIAGNOSIS: Ichthyosis is so nearly unique that if its
characteristic features are borne in mind the diagnosis connot be difficult. TREATMENT: Prolonged treatment may do much to impro\'C th e texture of the skin. Frequent warm baths with the free
usc of sapo moJlis arc to be recommended to remove
the crusts. After each bath the ski n may be rendered pliable by inunction with a bland ointment,
such as adeps lanac hydrosus, to which may be
added from two to eight per cent. of salicylic acid.
Salves which contain a high percentage of water are
the most serviceable.

DERMATITIS VENE NATA

Dermatitis vcncnata is a generic term which des
ignatt·s a gr~,.•at munht•r of dermic irritations l'&lt;llhl'cl
by contact with cldctcrious suhstanl'cs, among
which arc many common drugs such as arnica.
mercurial._, iodoform, turpentine.•, tar, etc., many
cht•mical n•ag&lt;..·nts. numerous dye-stuffs and matc.·rial:; h:uullcd in trade. liut the most prolific soun:c
nf the di:o.order in this country is the emanatiun of
certain plants especi:dly those of the rhus genu.,,
the rhus toxicmkndron or poison-ivy, the rhus
di\'t•r..;iloba or poison-oak, the rhus ,-ent·nata or
JH)ison-sumac, -dogwood or -elder. and mhn .species
of less common occurrence. lmJi,·iclu:ds cUTer in
"l1'H.''-'JHibility, many can handle the plants with im~
punity while others sufTt.•r from the slighh:'t touch.
The parts of the t'kin involved arc the exposed por·
tinns which come in conlat.:t with th~ h.•;ln.•.;, and
the regions to which the poison may be tran~fcrn:d
hy the hands. The symptoms develop u.;ually aftl•r
a icw hou r s. A feel"ng- of warmth and itd1ing lirst
:tttrac-ts the patient's attention to the :tfft"cted an•a
which then appears erythematous and slig-htly

DI AGNOSI S :
The points to be t·onstdcrc.&gt;cl in &lt;litlt:rc.·ntiating the

ahs~:nce of papules. the nonstickiness of the exudate, and the rapid iiH·olution of the lesions.
TREATMENT : Tht :-.uh~:ancc which causes the
irritation is soluble in alcohol and is precipitated by
lead accwte. then·forr hathing the exposed regions
of the skin with a s:\turatcd :dcnholic solution of

the brawny induration, pigmentation ancl ·tendency
to ulceration in the later stages. together with the
other charartcri·qics of the various form~ of eczema.
elsewhere tlc ..crihed, tend to make the (liagno~is
usually ,·ery easy. TREATMENT: The treatment
is suhstantia.ll}' that of the corresponding lf:sional
or secondary typt..~ in other regions, combined with
the treatment of the varicec;. (Sec E . erythema·
tosum, E. ruhrum. E. sc1uamosum .) The t.·sscntial

all other mcasun·s arc sometimes of no avail. The
best method is to put the leg at rest hori;r.ontally.
\Vhen that i~ unft.•asihle th e leg slwuld be wrapped
from the tocs to the knee or higher with a two~inch
wide. cotton clastic webbing bandage. To protect
the handagc from tht· salves, lotions or the ec:zema~

\\"ith layers of gau1.r, and a &lt;i.he('t of oih·d ~ilk if ntc·
essary, suJ•I'ortt·cJ by a stocking. and then apply
the bandage C'\'t.'nly over all. The l"lrl'S ... urt should
be moderate and uniform, and cau ... c no discomfort.
The dressing should he renewed once a da}· or
oftener.

ECZEMA VESICULOSUM
Eczematous n:siclcs arc not infrequently ac;sociatcd with other lc::;ions of eczema. but u-.ually in
small numbers ami oitcn in a transitional stage
of dc\'elopmcnt, as vesica-papules or vesica-pustules.
An eruption composed entirely of vesicles, or in
which the vesicles predominate sufficiently to warrant the title eczema vesiculosum, is not uncommon, but is usually so acute in its onset and rapid 111
its evolution that the typical groups of this primary
lesion arc comparatively rarely seen. They occur
upon any part of the skin, but arc most frc&lt;JUCntly
encountered upon the face. particularly of infants
and young children, also behind the ears and upon
the Hcxor surfaces of the limbs, especially near the
joints. Upon a more or less intensely hyperemic
base develop rapidly immense numbers of pin·
point to pin~head sized, clear vesicle~. discrete but
closely packed together in groups or forming a con·
tinuous sheet of eruption. Their outbreak is preceded by tingling and burning and accompanied by
itching, which is usually intense. lf the vesicles arc
uot ruptured by rubbing and ~cratching they soon
burst spontaneously, except in those regions in
whic:h the epidermis is very thick. as upon the volar
surface of the hands. Crops of new vesicles may
follow the first. In early cases upon close inspection are to be made out minute superficial losses o f
tissue at the sites of the ruptured vesicles. From
these closely studded points oozes a clear mucilaginous fluid that dries to form a yellow glaze or
peculiar light gummy crusts. \Vhcn the crusts are
removed a raw, tumid. weeping suriace is exposed.
About the diffuse borders of a patch, less often
intermingled with the vesicles. a few papules o r
vesico-papules are often to be found. and the contents of some of the more persistent vesicles may
become turbid or purulent. Resolution rarely occurs sufficiently early to prevent palpable infiltra-

tion of the skin, though the roursc of vesicular
eczema is not long. This type of the di~easc, however, may be but the Jin;t stage of an exceedingly
protracted attack of the malady, in which case it
C\"Oives usually into eczema rubrum.
As a rule,
after several days or WCl•ks the subjective symptoms
ab:Hc, the discharge ceases, the color fades, scaling
takes place and the skin returns gradually to normal, although for some time the new epidermis may
retain a red and lender look. DIAGNOSIS : Dermatitis z:eueuatu. is usually easily differentiated by
the larger size of the vesicles, their slight tendency
to rupture, the presence of occasional bullae, the
non~sticky character of the exudate, the subjective
symptom of burning rather than itching, the history of exposure to contact with rhus plants or the
application of irritating substances and the rapid
involution upon rcmo\·al of the cause. \Vhen in.
impeti~o co11Jagiosa a large area becomes crusted
the history of the lesions from which the crusts developed or the presence of a few discrete lesions
will scn•e to differentiate the disease from the·
crusted stage of eczema vesiculosum. The vesicles
and pustules of impl'tigo arc pea to dime size and
tend to dry to crusts without rupturing. Itching is
slight or absent. Involution is rapid and there is
usually evidence of autoinoculation and contagil"ln.
TREATM E NT: The crusts should he gently removed and a lotion, containing 6 per cent each of
calamine and zinc oxid and 3 per cent of boric acid,
sopped on several times a day. ..\s soon as the
most acute stage is passed a paste composed of two
parts each of zinc oxit! and starch and four parts of
vaselin is to be applied. This should be renewed
once or twice a day and the old salve removed with
sweet oil. The use of soap aud water is scrupu·
lously to be avoided.

ERYSIPELAS
Erysipelas is an acute in fectious nnd contagious
dtrmatitis characterized by sh1nin,:r redness. swelling, pain and tenderness of the affected part or the
~kin, and caused by Streptococcus pyogcncs. The
organism gains entrance through some breach in
the skin, which, however, may be so smaH as sometimes to escape detection. The appearance of the
ra&lt;h is prrceded for about a dny by malaise, hendach~. anorrxia and even vomiting. chillinrs&lt;~~ or
chills, and fever. Then is noticed n •lightly swollen.
coin-sized patch. rtd and peculiarly smooth and
!ithining. "'dth a well-defined and more or Je~s ele\'ated border. The Je-;ion is hot and tender and
cau!oles throbbing pain, tingling, burning or mild
pruritus. The redness. which at first is rosy but
4100n become~ a brilliant crimson. faclt."s momentarily under pressure. but leaves a ytllow stain. The
patch may re1ain its original s1ze. but far more
commonly it ~preads peripherally. Tn typical cases
of moderate grade the inAammation reachc~ iu
maximum extent and ~cvcrity in about a week, cluring which time the conc;titution~ll c;ymptoms continue and the fever pcrsi ... ts with evening exacerbations to tO.l~-roo• F \\'ith r esolut:on all the
symptom!'! subside, the skin desquamates and gradually returns to normaL Occasionally vesicle~ or
hullae form upon the surface of the lesion. Their
contents may become turbid. purulent or even
blnody. and dry into cru~~s. Cnmparatively rarely,
with det'"p infiltration, gangrene of the 0\k!n may result. Erysipelas migrans is the name gi\"en to that
type of tht d;sease which exhihits more than the
ordinary trndency to spread. Tt~ progress m:ty he
slnw or rapicl. and by equal advancement of th('
margin c;;o that an entire re~inn hecome"' cO\"trecl,
or the original IC'sion may c;cnd nut irrrgu lar pro·
longations. \\' hile the di,..~ase ad\"anres in one part
it may heal in another; occasionally it reappears in

an old nrea. The course of the disease may be prolong&lt;.•d in this way for weeks or even months. The
face i!i the most common scat of erysipelas. It begins, as a rule, on or ncar the nose, starting frequently JUSt ms1tlc the nostril, from fis!:iures or infected ,·ibrbsa foll1cles, and spreads usually over
both hal'"es of the face. hs progress is sometimes
arrested at the hair line of the beard or scalp. If
the cars and eyelids are affected they become very
edematous and painful. The lips may be greatly
swollen and e\·crtcd. Serious and often fatal complications ari~e when the inflammatory process
spreads onto the mucous membrane, as of the eye, or
through the mouth to the larynx and lungs; or when
by deep invasion the meninges arc invoh•cd. A.,
a rule however lt is only in the aged. the debilitated
or 111 ,·cry young infants that a fatal termination need
be ar&gt;r&gt;rehended. Causes of death other thnn tho&gt;e
mentioned arc exhaustion from prolonged fe\"er or
toxemia, metastatic infections or septicemia. One
attack predisposes to another, but frequent recurrence in the ~amc region indicates usually that the
original portal of entry remains open. DIAGNOS I S:
Dt&gt;rmat;lis t·ol~lltii&lt;J and cn·thtmalous u:tma both
differ from erysipelas in that ·they are unaccompanied
by c&lt;m-.titutional s_ymptom!J, their lesions are less
brilliant in color and lack the peculiar smooth,
shining :mrfacc and sharply detined, elevated border.
They start frCflUcntly fro m sc,·eral points. The
lesions of dermatitis \"cnenata do not creep and the
patchu of eczema are often scaly and scratch
marked and usually itch intensely. TRE AT M E NT:
The general symptoms require symptomatic treatment. Locally c-ompresses wet with 95 per cent
alcohol or a 25 po1 cent aqueous solution of ichthyol
somctimes seem to help. An ichthyol ointment may
be preferred.

.\11 the lesions do not always undergo absorption. It
is not uncommon for t he nodes to necrose either en
ma ... se or at one or two points. 1n the for mer in~l&lt;lnce the whole node sloughs away and lca\"es a
large, punched out, circular, sluggish ulcer. :\l ore

PELLAGRA
Pcll~gra

is an endemic, chronic, non-contagious,
systemit· disease characterized by recurrent sympt oms rcfcrahle to disturbances of the cen t ral nervous systent and the digestive tract. and by peculiarly
dist r ihuled skin lesions of an erythemato·squamous
and pigmentary character. After a period of more
or less marked asthenia, often accompanied hy at-

tacks of headache, dizziness. epigastric pains and
diarrhea, the cutaneous eruption appears usually late
in the spring or some time in the summer. The distributi on of the rash is nearly always sym metricaL
The backs of the hands are ilwariably affected; the
other regions that may be involved in combinat ion
with the ha nds arc the forearms. the dorsal surface
of t he feet, the face in women and children only, the
neck and very rarely the extensor surfaces of the
knee s and t&gt; lbows, and the scrotum On the hands
the rash stops abruptly at the border of the volar
surfaces. Often it does not extend upon t he fingers
beyond the first phalanges. The finger nails a r e
never affected. The lesions usually advance onto
the lower third of the forearms and may encroach
upon their anterior surfaces. The intensi ty of t he
skin eruption bears no relation to the in tensity of
the other symptoms, and involution of the skin
lesions may begin at any stage of th eir development.
The rash fi rst appears as coin~sized patches of cry·
thema which spread and coalesce. In a few days the
epidermis begins to desquamate. On the hands only
th e fissures between the flakes sometim-:-s extend to
the cori um and producC somewhat pain ·ul rhaga~les.
Ordinarily th e only subject ive symptoms are shght
burning and a feeling of tension , bu· these arc in~
creased by exposur e of the skin to th~ sun and air.
\\"ith a very intense dermatitis the hands may be
swollen and vesicles and bullae anU secondary erosions and crusts may form. The redness gradually
becomes darker and b rowner from the deposition of
pigment in the skin. On the for earms the marginal

zone of the dermatitis is occasionally several shades
lighter t han the backs of th~ _hands. At this stage
the skin usually 31J))ears thickened, the lines may
he deeper and the skin liclds much more prominent
t han normal. The horny layer is often hyperplastic
and the skin feels ha rsh and rough. These changes
become more and more marked in succeeding at~
tacks. In six to ten weeks, or with the ad\·cnt of
cool weather, all the symptoms abate and the cutaneous lesions may disappear entirely, but thev usually recur each succeeding spring wit h evcr-increaS·
ing severity. J\fter repeated attacks the ski n may
be left smooth and glossy or wrinkled and parch~
m ent-like as in idiopat hi c atrophy. There is often
considerable loss of cu taneous se nsibility. Thus
with seasonal remissions and exacerbations the dis·
case may last for yc.&gt;ars, the general symptoms grow~
ing gradually more severe until the patient becomes
greatly emaciated and despondent.
Hebetude,
chronic mania. melancholia or demen ti a may d e~
\'Clop, with spinal symp toms such as incoordination
of movement. tremors, great muscular weaknes'i or
paralysis. The average duration of life is five yt.'ars
though patients sometimes s urviv e for ten or fifteer~
years. The cause of the disease is not known. I t is
fostered by prh·ation and poor hygiene and in the
great majori ty of cases t he patients have consumed
la rge quantities of d ecompos&lt;'d or fcrmcrte&lt;l corn.
The disease rarely occurs in in£ancy. DIAGNOSIS:
l';Jot s_o t~ntc~ th e typ e of .t h~ enlJ~tion as its pectlllar d1stnbut10n and assocmt10n w1 t h men tal. nervous and intestinal symptom~. make the diaqnosis

cases the outlook is favorable. There arc no specific rem edies. Good nourishing food in good sur·
roundings ~nd the .administration of tonics, particu·
larly arsen:c and tro n. ar e the e!lisent!als of treatment. Locally the affected skin should be covned

��P ELLAGRA

Pellagra is an endemic, chronic, non-contagious,
systemic disease characterized by recurrent symptoms referable to disturbances of the central nervous system and the digestive tract, and by peculiarly
distributed skin lesions of an erythemato-squamous
and pigmentary character. After a period of more
or less marked asthenia, often accompanied by attacks of headache, dizziness, epigastric pains and
diarrhea, the cutaneous eruption appears usually late
in the spring or some time in the summer. The distribution of the rash is nearly always symmetricaL
The backs of the hands are invariably affected; the
other regions that may be involved in combination
with the hands arc the forearms, the dorsal sur£ace
of the feet, the face in women and children only, the
neck and very rarely the extensor surfaces of the
knees and elbows, and the scrotum. On the hands
the rash stops abruptly at the border of the volar
surfaces. Often it does not extend upon the fingers
beyond the first phalanges. The finger nails arc
never affected. The lesions usually advance onto
the lower third of the forearms and may &lt;'ncroach
upon their anterior surfaces. The intensity of the
skin eruption bears no relation to the intensity of
the other symptoms. and involution of the skin
lesions may begin at any stage of their de,·elopment.
The rash first appears as coin-sized patches of erythema wl1ich spread and coalesce. In a few days the
epidermis begins to desquamate. On the hands only
the fissures between the flakes sometimes extend to
the corium and produce somewhat painful rhagades.
Ordinarily the only subjective symptoms arc slight
burning and a feeling of tension. but these are increased by exposure of the skin to the sun and air.
With a very intense dermatitis the hands may be
swollen and vesicles and bullae and secondary erosions and crusts may form. The redness gradually
hecomes darker and browner from the deposition of
piAmcnt in the skin. On the forearms the marginal

zone of the dermatitis is occasiona1ly several shad~s
lighter than the backs of the hands. At this stage
the skin usually appears thickened, the lines may
be deeper and the skin fields much more prominent
than normal The horny layer is often hyperplastic
and the skin feels harsh and rough. These changes
become more and more marked in succeeding attacks. In six to ten weeks, or with the advent of
cool weather, all the symptoms abate and the cUlaneous lesions may disappear entirely, but they usua11y recur each succeeding spring with ever-increasing severity. Aher repeated attacks the skin may
be left smooth and glossy or wrinkled and parchment~like as in idiopathic atrophy.
There is often
considerable loss of cutaneous sensibility. Thus
with seasonal remissions and exacerbations the disease may last for years, the general symptoms growing gradually more severe until the patient becomes
greatly emaciated and despondent.
Hebetude,
chronic mania, melancholia or dementia. may develop, with spinal symptoms such as incoordination
of moYcmcnt. tremors, great muscular weakness or
paralysis. The average &lt;Juration of life is five years,
though patients sometimes survive for ten or fifteen
years. The cause of the disease is not known. It is
fostered by privation and poor hygiene and in the
great majority of cases the patients have consumed
large quantities of decomposed or fermented corn.
The disease rarely occurs in infancy. D IAGNOSIS:
Not so much the type of the eruption as its peculiar distribution and association with mental. nerv·
ous and intestinal symptoms. make the diagnosis
comparatively easy. TREATM ENT: In early mild
cases the outlook is favorable. There arc no specific remedies. Good nourishing food in good surroundings and the administration of tonics, particularly arsenic and iron. are the essentials of treatment. Locally the affected skin should be covered
with a bland salve and protected from the light.

patches. After a lesion has attained a diameter of
about half an inch its central portion becomes dull
yrllow or salmon colored, while the slightly ele'"·:Hed border remains a brighter red. The epidermis
O\'cr the yellowish middle part is dry and shiny and
crinkles easily wh en the patch is subjected to slight
lateral compressio n. There is nearly ah.,.·nys a tlne
furfuraceous deS&lt;JUamation from the surface of the
lesion, more marked toward the periphery. Not in·
frcc 1uently a collar of small gray scales remains attaclu:U just at the junction of the yellowish center
and the pi11k border. Large maculcs often clear up
entirely m the middle. Contiguous lesions may coalr .. ce and form irregularly outlined patches in
which the fused borders sometimes, though rarely,
form reticulated pattern~. Most of the lesions cca .. e
to increase in diamrtrr in about a week, some much
sooner; they do not all reach the same stage of de\'clopmcnt. K ew lesions continue to appear, rapidly for a few days or more slowly for a couple
of weeks. The lesions arc exceedingly supcrfacial
and there is rarely any palpable infiltration of the
~kin , though clllorcsccncu located in warm. moist
regions, as in the axillae, beneath the hanging
breasts or about the genitals, may become somewhat thickened, but ne\"cr abraded or covered with
necrotic membranes. The usual distribution of the
rash is upon the trunk; that is, upon the chest, back
and shoulders, and especially on the side• of the
thorax and about the clavicles. Lesions arc not infrequently present upon the neck, arms and thighs,
but they rarely appear upon the face, scalp, hands

or below the knees. On the back and sides of the
chest the o\·al lesions are often roughly arranged in
series along the course of the ribs, with their long
axes inclined in the same threction. Occasionally,
but by no means in every case, there occurs a fairly
large primary effiorescencc, a so-called herald spot,
upon some par t of the body, usually on the trunk,
which is followed in four to twelve days by the general eruption. T he rash persists for three to six
weeks or longer, acquiring gradually a more brown.
ish tinge. The affection sometimes causes a mod·
crate amount of itching, but usually only when the
skin is moi~t with perspiration. There are no other
subjective symptoms. The disease occurs predomi~
nantly among young individua ls and is rare in the
aged. T he cause is unknown. DIAGNOSIS: T he
pink ri ng lesions w ith t he salmon-colored parchment-like centers a re almost pathognomonic. 1n

PITYRIASIS VERSICOLOR

Synonyms: Chromophytosis ; Tinea versicolor;
Dermatomycosis microsporina seu furfuracea.
P ityriasis versicolor is a vegetable parasitic dis
ease characterized by a rash consi~ting of brown·
ish yellow or yellowish brown sharply circumscribed
small spots or irregular broad patches, that arc
almost imperceptibly furfuraceous and occur chiefly
4

on the upJ&gt;Cr portion of the trunk. The number of
maculcs varies from a few to several hundred. Only
the edges are sometimes very slightly elevated above
the level of the skin. The small spots arc a lmost
circular, but they spread slowly and coalesce to form
larger patches of irregular outline li ke a contour
map. Occasionally islands of normal skin are included in an affected area. New ~pots arise just beyond t he border of the larger patches. ~lany
months may elapse before the rash attains conspicuou s dimensions. It continues to increase almost imper ceptibly for years or decades :\nd disappears
spontaneously only in old age, when for some rcason the skin ceases to furnish suitable nourishment
for the fungus. T he scaling may be hard to detect
in a patient whose skin is naturally moist or when it
is wet with perspiration. but a slight scraping of a
lesion with the finger nai l wilt demonstrate that the
corneous layer is easil y separable from the rete. and
the abrasion at the same time removes the brownish
discoloration, showing that the fungus nou rishes in
the upper layers of the epidermis. T he disease is
exceedingly rarely seen upon the uncovered portions
of the body, ancl beneath the clothing it has its favorite regions. The breast and u pper abdomen,

back, neck :md shoulders arc t he parts most constantly affected. T he flexor surfaces of the arms
or the axillae, the scrotum, inner sides of the th ighs,
mons veneris or the popliteal spaces may be involved
in extensive cases. The distribution is usually, but
not necessarily, symmetrical. The disease is rare
befor e puberty and after middle life. It attacks inc.lividuals of either sex and appar ently w ithout regard to their habits of personal cleanliness, but it
seems to prefer the skin or tho~c who perspire free ly.
Th e disease is contagious, but the causative organism, M icrosporon furfur, like aJI the other parasitic
fungi. is incapable of growth upon e\'ery skin, and
repeated intimate contact will fai l to convey the
disease to a person who is not susceptible. As a
rule, there a re no subjective symptoms, though occasionally m ild itching may be complained of when
the patient is warm or pcrSJ&gt;iring. DIAGNOSIS:
No matt er how closely the disease may resemb le
chloasma, -z.·itili.go, syphilis pigmeutosa or a fading
roseola , it can be distinguished readily by the fur furaceous scaling or the ease with wh ich the pigmented epidermis can be abrased. The heaps of
conidia and masses of interl acing myceli um cannot
be O\'erlookcd in a microscopic examination of a few
scales in a drop of liquor potassae. TREATMENT :
The patient should bathe daily and scrub the affected parts with soap an d warm water and t hen
app ly a 25 per cent solution of sodium hyposulphite.
The spots disappear in a few days, but the treat·
ment is to be continued for some time, as the disease
is very prone to recur.

SYPHILIS PRIMARIA. Sclerosis syphilitica
Synonyms: Chancre; Hard chancre.
Spirochat:t:t palhda finds its w:w into tht" system
by rnocubtion .\her a period of incubation that may
last for two to ten w~eks but is usually about three,
:a the point of entry the first evidence of syphilis
ari~cs and is the chancre. About one week after the
appearann.• of the primary lesion on the p(·nis the
inguinal glands become discretely and painlessly
t.•nlargcd and hard. As a rule the chancre starts as
a macule, scratch or erosion, beneath which a papule
soon forms and increases in size to that or a finger
nail. It is usually surrounded by a dark red arcola.
The !li.Urface may be dry and crusted with byers of
exfoliate(l epidermis or it may be superficially or
Jctply ukcrated. Most often 11 is merely ~br~ded .
polished atal raw looking or ~lightly moist and
partly covered by a gray film of ~dh&lt;rent pseudomembrane. The most marked, constant and typical
characteristic of the chancre is its induration. Surrounding or underlying the surface lesion is an extended or more often a sharply circumscrihed region
of superficial or dcop infiltr~tion This '"u~lly be·
comes palp~hle the fifth to the tenth day after the
appearance of the chancre and reaches its maximum
111 another week when the infiltrated ti~~tu.• may be
of a lmost cartilaginous hardness. The infiltration
may remain long after any ulceration has healed,
even lor several months. though gener~lly both the
ulceration and the induration disappear in four to
.,jx weeks ancl the glandular swelling subside~ soon
a£tcrwards. The chancre does not leave a !!lear unless it has been de&lt;ply ulcer~tcd. In mtn threefourths of ~II genital chancres are locat&lt;d on the

c&lt;rvix of the ptnis. on th&lt; glans n&lt;ar th&lt; frenum, or
on the margin of the preputial opening. The others
art at or ahout the meatus or upon the skin of the
peni"'. !icrotum or groin. The chancre i~ usually
single: twn or more.· may be acquired at the same
time, but it is unusual for o n e chancre to produce
others by auto.inocul~tion.
DIAGNOSIS: S&lt;condary or mixc..•d infection may effectually obliterate
all the characteristics of a syphilitic sore-, and a non.
specific herpetic uosion or a chancroid may at times
clo!H.'Iy rc..,cmblt.· a typical chancre. A leSIOn which
develops h.•ss than five days after exposure to con·
tagion is not a chancre even if ~yphilis was ac&lt;(Uired
at that time. A sore which appears more than ten
days after the la't coitus is probably a ch~ncre.
However in no case is it justifiable to start constitu.
tional syphilitic treatment until Spirochaeta pallida
can be identified in the ~ecretion exprc!"...,rd from the
sore, or un le~~ Hcondary ~yphilitic lf~ion~ art present to confirm the diagnosis. TREATME NT:
The chancre heals promptly when the general mercurial treatment if\ begun. UsuaJiy thr only local
treatment required for an uncomplicated chancre is
cleansing with S031l and water and dusting with
calomel. If the sore u lcerates iodoform may be
used or a wet dressing of one to three thousand
mercuric chlorid As regards the use of arsenic in
the treatment of syphilis. it wiii require many yea rs
to determine whether or not certain arsenic compounds which are now being exten!;ively substituted
for mercury, are a5 harmless in themsr1ves and as
certain in results as the old and well tried remedies.

Syphilis p apulosa mucosa e oris. Synonym s: Mucous patch; P laques opalines.
~fucou~ patches a r e the most constant lesion of
secondary syphilis. They occur on the mu cous surfaces especially of the mouth, as superficial ulcerated
infiltrations covered with a grayish nccroric mcmJ,rane, and are t o be regarded as flattened abraded
papules. They may be found upon any par t of the
oral mucous membrane sometimes in large numbers.
though generally there are only two or three. They
are usually very slightly elevated, sharply bordered.
of various sizes. discrete or confluent, and more or
less irregular in outline, with an appearance like
that produced by penciling the mucous membrane
with sih•cr nitrate. The patches often have a pinkish
rod border. When they occur at the angles of the
mouth they are liable to he fissured. As the result
of treatment, or sometimes spontaneously, the grayish membrane may become loose and easily detached, leaving an abraded and raw looking surface.
~Jucous patches occur with the earliest skin rashes
and persist unless treated, and although they yield

readil y to constitutional remedies they are ve r y
prone to recur, especially in hard drinkers and inveterate smokers, even in the tertiary period. They
probably constitute the first stage in the development of some cases of leucoplakia. The lesi on~ arc
slightly pain£ul when brought in contact with solid
iood or wi t h hot and irritating beverages. DIAGNOSIS: Spirochaeta pall ida abounds in the mcmhrane and excretions of the mucous patch. As the
latter is commonly only one of a group o£ syphilitic
symptPms the diagnosis is rarely difficult. The
aphthous sores frequently seen in the mouth, associated with digestive disturbances. may be distinguished by their segregation, small size, acute sensitiveness, and evanescent character.
T REATM E NT : The mouth is to be ke1&gt;t clean. Smokin~
should be prohibited. In addition to the general
mercurial treatment it is well to cauterize the
patches occrasionally with silver nitrate or to recommend painting them two or three times dail y
with a ten per cent. solution. A mild antiseptic
and astringent rnouth wa..,h may be prescribed.

SYPHILIS TERTIARIA

Syphilis ulcerosa.
A syphilitac ulcer is the sequel of a pustulocrustaceous, gummatous or tubercular syphilid. 1t
is found therefore mo!St often upon the favorite sites
of those three lesions. namely the face. especially
about the nose, the forehead, legs and genitalia.
Often the origm of an ulcer cannot be ascertained
from its appearance. The round or irregular more
superficial ulcer met with comparatively early in the
disease and in poorly nouri~hed and anemic imh·
viduals is usually a pustulo-crustaccous lesion from
which the cru st has been cast oJI by increased suppurat ion. The deep ulcers are generally from gummatous deposits. The ulcers arising from the tubercub.r syphiloderm have the same tendency to segme ntal grouping and circinate configuration that the
tubercular lesions themselves exhibit. \Yhen this
feature is marl,cd the lesions arc ca11cd ulcero~cr piginous. Ulcers usually tra,·cl slowly over lhe
skin by healing at one side whi le they advance at
the other. The healin1t margin is often concave,
the advancing convex and elevated by a r idge of
coalescent tubercles, upon which narrow zone of
infiltration the u1cer constantly encroaches. The
area traver~ed is marked by soft scar tissue, or when
the ulceration is very superficial. mere ly by bro\vnish pigmentation. The base of the ulcer is covered
by a grayish yellow, purulent slough which may
dry to form a crust. Jt is unusual fo r such a lesion

entirely to heal spontaneously, although almost invar iably it responds rapidly to specilic constitut ional
t reatment. As a rule syphilitic ulcers are not at all
painful, and only slig htly t ender. DIAGNOSIS :
Traumatic u/crrs have a history of injury and arc
acute and high ly inflam matory, irregular in shape.
and heal rapid ly under simple dressings. A tubercu/dus 1dctr is usually superllcial. irregular, sluggish
with comparatively little. th in discharge under clea!l
dressings; it arises frequen t ly from caseous glands
or diseased bone. and presents sinuses, milky anemic
granulations, and soh .mdcrmined edges. Its scars
are not in frequently keloidal. Lupous ulcers start
earl ier in life, are superficial and incomparably slower in development, the edges are brighter red, softer
and ofu.•n undermined, and a1&gt;ple-jell y nodule3
are frequently to be found; the scars are more dif·
fuse, tough and deforming.
An t/lilllcUomatous
ulcer starts from a pimple. wart or keratotic patch,
is usually a single lesion o n the face, a nd its shar p
border is almost invar iably in som e part typically
hard, everted and waxy-look ing, with dilat ed capil
!aries cr ossing it. TREATMENT: In addition to
the adm inistration of m er cury an d potassium iodid
local t reatme nt may be employed. Ulce rs should
be kept clean and dusted with calomel, or co,·ered
with a ftvc to ten per cent. ammoniated mercu ry
ointment.

SYPHILIS TERTIARIA

Syphilis ulcerosa nasi.
Syphilitic ulc~ration of the nose is a not uncom ·
mon late tertiary manifestation. It is tht· SC&lt;IUc:l of
either fliffu~c or circum.,.cribed gummatous inliltration, though the latter, that is the dbtinct gummalou-. tumor, is much more rare than the former. It
i~ unusual to He either Jc:-;ion hdore ulceration has
occurred, probably because being painless and starting freclttently un the inner wall of th .. nasal c:wity
the process does not attract attention until ulceration supervene-.. Gummata of the external nose
exhibit predilection for the alao and septum. Beginning in the !-tUbmucous or subcutaneous tissue
they spread and invohe cartilage and bone, and
unless promptly and energetically treated cause
marked permanent deformity. The de~truction pro·
duced by a circumscribed node is much less than
that inctdent to the breaking down of a diffuse intlltratlon. The latter extends rapidly and after
cau~ing perichondritis. and periostitis interferes with
the circulation to such an extent that necrosis en~
su~s comparatively early. The slough often appears
to extrnd wide of the original infiltration. \\'hen
the ulceration is deep and the hone ha!\ become involved the nasal discharge is frequently extremely
offensi\"c. Non-specific inflammation and ulceration
often accompany the ~C(IUCStration and may obliterate the characteristics of the typical syphilitic

ulcer. DIAGNOSIS: The h istory nr presence of
other ~pccilic lesion:-; or scars sometimes aids in the
diagnosi:-; \\'hen there is perforation of the septum
the disease is a lmost certainly syphilis. although
very exceptionally tuberculosis may produce the
•amc result. Luf'~·tu ;t/crrs begin at an earlier age.
progress very much more ~lowly :1nd never atta ck
the bone. The syphilitic ulcer is most frequently
confused with ~pit/ar/ioma, although as a rule the.:
distinction is not difficult. The cancerous ulcer
s:arts from a pimple, wart, mole or scudy patch
:md dc\'clops slowly at first. It has an uneven
tloor and a linn, everted, waxy, telangiectatic be rder.
The very rare case~ in which the margin of the
')'!Jhilitic ulcer counterfeits the rolled edge of the
epithelioma can he differentiated by microscopi.-:
examination, serodiagnostic reaction or therapeutic
tc.t. TREATMENT: When there is marked secondary infection mercury and potassium iodid may
not alone suffice to arrest the ulceration, hut oper ative procedures, removal of sequestra, curetting,
etc., should always be postponed until the snecific
remedies have had time to exert their maximum
effect. Cleansing with peroxide of hydrogen or
other mild antiseptic lotion, and dusting with calomel are local measures that s h ould be employed
from the ~tart.

TUBERCULOSIS VERRUCOSA
The disease begins as one or mor e pea· to coinsized. distinct ly circu mscribed, round or oval, r eddish
papules. Several may coalesce to form a pat ch of an
irregular or even a serpiginous configurat ion. T he
surface of the lesion soon shows a tendency to be.
come knobby and furrowed, a nd the more prominent
parts of the growth bet ween the furrows assume at
first a smooth warty and lat er a papillomatous appearance. The papillomata may be fi ne, pointed
and horny, or broad, llat and sclerotic. J n the mor e
ad\'anccd lesions there is nearly a lways considerable
secondar y pyogcn1c infection, and slight lateral pressure will cause pus to wetl up between the papillre.
Somet imes the pus dries to form su perficial crusts.
T he in HJmmatory element is often rcpr e:;cnted alsc.
by a mor e or less bright red, erythematous halo
about the growth. The growth itself is usually a
duskier or br ownish red. Occasionall y the whole
lesion becomes acutely intlamed, swollen an d painful, but that is exceptional. As a rule the disease
causes no subjective sensations. A plaque increases
in size very slowly by the accretion of new lesions
a t its edge. In the grea t m ajority of ca ses the &lt;"Ondition persists indefini tely. There is no tendency to
ulceration. Sometimes r esolution occurs. Jt usually
begins at the center of the lesion. The scar \eft is
smooth an d scaly. The backs of t he hatub afC the
f;worite sites of the malady, though it may occur on
any part of the body. Jt is t hought to be Uuc to
a surface infect ion with the tubercle bacillus, which

would accou nt for its r elative frequency u pon t he
hands oi butchers, pathologists, and all those whose
occupa11ons bring them in contact with t u berculou~
material from cadavers or from living subjects. The
lesion in t his location is often described under t he
title verruca necrogen ica or a natomic tubercle.
DIAGNOSIS : S)•p/Jilts luberosa may look like the
early ~tagc of tuberculosis vcrrucosa cutis, bu t t he
!-lyphilitJC lesio ns are less chrome, more d eeply 111 filtrated, they :,pread by peri pheral extension and
show a much m ore marked te ndency to occ ur 111
segmenta l groups, to coalesce with t he format ion of
serpiginous patches, to travel over the skin, a nd to
ulcerate in some pa r t. Signs of an earl ier er uption
and the history may assist in the differ entiation.
Dermatitis blastom)'COtica may so closely resemble
the later stage of tuberculosis verrucosa that only a.
micr oscopic exarnin:ltion will ser ve to distinguish
t hem. The simplest m eth od is t o mix some of the
pus with a drop of thirty per cent solution of potassiu m hydrate. wait about fifteen m inu tes u ntil the
lcucocyt es have disintegrated and then search with
the oil im mersion len s for the budding blastomycctcs. TREATMENT : T he smaller tu mors yield
very well to cautcnzation with a satu rated aqueo us
sol u tion of chromic acid. The same trea tment may
be employed on the larger growths, one sect ion at
a time, but these may be much more quickly cured
by total excision and skin g r afting.

The Erie County Re~bll~an mag·

executive committee yesterday by Secretary George D . Emerson and, although no f'pecial invitations wIll be
sent to the horde of place hunters and
their backers, thE'Y are expected to
attend, and they WOUldn't miss It for
a good deal.

the coming year.
"They went to Manning the other

I will be deteated, but I'll eat three

turns out."

('ommissioner or Public Works will
make suC'h appointments as he pleases
regardless of the organization bosses,
but that does not mpan, of course, that I
no organJzation men need apply. But,

The prtncipai plum in t he pie. when It
is cut, will be that of Heaith Commi ••
sioner. It looks very much as if the
present InC'umbent. Dr. Ernest ,Vende,
sf&gt;lected as a DemoC'rat by Mayor
Bishop when the new charter went into
effect, would not be re-appointed by
)!ayor Knight, despite the strong eC·
torts being made by the medical profesEllon to have Mr. Knight retain Dr.
,,'ende,
Dr. George L. Brown, an eminent
specialist and one oC Mr. Knight'S close
personal friends, has been mentioned
as one likely to get the appointment,
but Dr. Brown states that he has no I
desire to receive the appOintment.
Next in order is Dr. Walter D. Greene,
at present Deputy Commissioner or
Health and a Republican. Dr. Greene
is an applicant for the place and has
excellent backing. He is likewise a
close triend ot the lIIayor·elect and is
regarded a. the likely winner. The reo
tirement of Dr. v... ende and the promotion of Dr. Greene would of course sat ..
isfy the clYil service reformers,
Intend to watch 'Mr. Knight's every
mo"e in the matter ot appointing city
employes.
Police Surgeon Joseph FO"'ler, Fire
Surgeon Edward C'. W. O·Brien. Dr.
James S. Porter, Dr. John J. ",'aish,
Dr. Albert H. Briggs, Dr. Edward
Clark and others are mentioned Cor the
place.' The salary i. $4.000 per ann urn
and the appointee will hold the oHtce
for tour yeaTS. In' the event of Dr.
Greene betng .elected Cor the place it
Is likely that civll servire ru ies will be
complied with and t h at Dr. C la r k. who
was formerly head of the department
and 'who Is now t;nilk inspector. will be
apPOinted Deputy Commissioner . This
piace pay. $2,000 a. year.

"Have you discovered any new cases 1"
the doctor was asked.
"No: neither ot tbe caaes I lnve8tl~ted

know of no cases aince those reported thts

"Do you regard the situation as sert·

"Of course, any spread of contagion like

Health Corumissiont'r.
Dr ""alter D.
GrceoC'. tbe prf';sent assistant Hm!llh
Commissioner, has been appolnu'd. Thus
('nds a ('outest between the Dcmocr&lt;ltl('
tncumbent. Dr. Ernest ",'end£':- wb~
host of illdorsem('ots, aoci a Republican
who likewise bad a large and strong \
hat'king.
I
::\lr. Knlghl summoned Dr. Greene to his I
hOIDP, )lo. 151 _~orwood Avenue. yesterday
afternoon. Dr. Greene had been in East
Buffalo working on smallpox ('a5r9. He
nrrived Elt Mr. Knight's house shortly Rttrr 6 o·clock. The Mayor-elect then broke
the news to him. By a COincidence, two
well-known ph)'sicinn~ arrived at the
house just a fi'w minutes later to see Mr.
Knight and urge lhe apPointment of Dr.
Green~.
~lr. Knight roade known to th(&gt;lD
that I heir desire had just been gratified
Rod tbat lhe appointee WaS then tn tho
house. The culh'l's thf'reupon substituted
congratulations tOI' ~irg;ument8.
In announcing the appointment to the
pre~s. ~Jr. I{night said: "10 dec1din~ upon
this choice, I havc taken into consideration the fact that Dr. Greene is In the
Heal th Dt&gt;partment and that by promot ing
the assistant to the chief position, r am
putting a man there who is thoroughly
('onVt'rS8nt with the duties he will be
obliged to porform, The Charter requires
that the Hf'ulth Commissioner shall devotp
his whole lIme to the office, and Dr.
Greene intpnds to comply with that requlretnt'nt."
"'Vas this appointment dictated by the
Orga1l1zatlon?" :'.11'. Knight was askpr!.
''It was not." replied t.he Mayor-elect.
"No m{~mber or the Organization has even
inSisted upon a change, but each and
every member has told me to do whalever
I deemed best. ~o one is re:o;ponslble
(or the change or the appointment but
mYdelt."
Questioned by a reporter tor The Express while Dr. Greene was at )tr.
Knight's home. the appointee said it waH
too early to discuss appointments that, as
Health Commissioner, be may make.
"~en the question of a successor to Dr.
GreE"ne, as assistant head at the departmf"nt. was touched upon, Mr, Knight made
this tnteresting statc-ment:
"There is a que~tion whether it will be
necessary to continuo the position o( assistant. If Vo'e determine that It is not.
necessary, we shall save to the City the'
salary ot that OmrE'. $2,000 a y("or. Un~
derstand, we do not at this time holel that
It. Is B superHuous office, but I[ wp find
that it is posPtlble to di~pense wltb It.
as we wJIl do with some other positions
that we may finrl to be unn~cessary. to
the pnl1 that there may be all possible
reduction ot the expenses of the forl'(1,.'·
Dr. Grecno's appointDlent take!'! effect
on January l~t. at Wlli('h Urnp. ht'-- will
assume the duties or the head of the
Hn\lth Department, Dr. 'Yende retiring

"It may not he out of place to refer

returned to the (""'tty Treasury.
"Following came the Exposition, to
which came forward all classe~ of cHi7."ns, rich and poor alike, The Exposition W&lt;l~ not a financial suC'C'ess,
but In consequence ot it. I think I am

the doctor hesitated, noticing -the a~­
tontshe(l look on the faces of some of

for some Indignation and
shame over the described condItion of
the quarantine ho.pital in whIch 324
persons have been treated withIn the
last year. According to Dr. Greene's
statement. it i8 not fully heated by
stoves. It bas leaking roors. It is lIghte.l
by oll lamps. and as a. hospital "Is con·
sJdered practically useless." Due warning was given before the smallpox arrh·ed here. but the Common Council
ialled to make proYlslon ot bett er Quar·
ters (or pro.pectlve patients. Now
there should be no more delay. The
present quarantlne hospital Is not a tit
",lace ot banishment tor sIck human
;'elngo. A new oue should be built at
oncp. on tbe site already owned by the
city It a better place cannot 'be tound.

FEW CHANGES IN
THE WORKING FORCE,
~

Health Commissioner Wende who
~~~ out .Of o~ce on the first day' of the
f
yeal, began moving his belongings
rom his pl'i\'ate offlce today. It was
~n no de~l'eSSed frame of mind that he
ell?ed hls assIstants to pack Up the
~arlOus office effects, but in his usual
appy wB:Y. Pictures and other orna·
ments whlch had adorned Dr. Wende's
prlvate sanctum for a decade were removed and placed In packages to be
carted away to the dqctor's home. For
ten years Dr. Ernest Wende has been
Buffalo's Health Commissioner. 1\1ore
than half the population of Buffalo reg~'ets the expil'ation of his term.
He
\\ as always an efficient and practical
OfficIal, ever giving satisfaction, Probably no body regrets his Jeaving more
than those who have been intimately
-coD1.1et!ted with the Health Department
durmg hIs administration. While all
have respect and confidence in the De'"
appointee, Dr. Walter D. Greene, they
were closely associated with Dr. Wende
and his absence will be noted
"I havE' nothing to say,'; said Dr.
Wende this morning. "I'm like the
Uttle boy sick abed. I'll let the new
man now assume all the resopnsibutty
and take ad,+antage of the opportunity
he has given me to pack up. I am
satisfied. I have no complaint to ma.k e.
Dr. Greene has my respect. He is a
good man which I know, having been
associated with him for some time."
H~:ll[h Commissioner-elect Dr. Greene
sat In an outer office looking over some
records of the Health Department. He
greeted everyone tn his usual cordIal
way. He promises tllat there will be
no changes In the present office staff.
Chief CIE:'rl{. Gus Schneider will remaIn
as will Stephen W. Bateson, whose re·
cent wOl'l&lt;: during the ::.mallpox epidemic was effpctlve. It is understood
that all in office will re-tain their positions. The only change made by Dr.
Greene was to appoint Dr. Edward
Clark Assistant Health Commissioner,
a promotion from the position of milk
inspector, the latter office to be abolished, The new Health Con1missloner
promises to adhel'e to Dr. Wende's polIcy of conducting the Department ot
Health.
Dr. Wende was appointed to office by
Mayor BIshop and was retained when
the Hon. Edgar B. Jewett became chief
executive of this city. The length of
service of the Health Commissioner is
five years, paying a salary of $5,000
yearly.

Expert
Sewer
Contractor Says That
Water in Sewers at
the Present Time Is
Not
Sufficient
to
Carry Off the Snow.

iT(.\.~~

?of/."

z,--

Dr. W, D.
eene. t e new Health
CommiSSioner, Is opposed to the plan or
Public Works Commissioner Ward of
dumping snow, ice and dirt into the
downtown sewers. He fears that they
may be clogged unless there is enough
water to carry It off. and he predicts
that an epidemic of disease will follow
unless considerable care is exercised.
Dr. Greene said last night that if
there was a fair proportion of dirt,
clogging at the sewers was almost
bound to occur, Which would mean the
stoppage of the •• wer and the backing
up of toul ~rater into cellars, to the in~
convenlence of householders. Such a
procedw'e WOUld, naturally. Dr. Greene
said, promote !Oseasc.
'IThe healeh at a city," announced
Dr. Greene, "depends upon the sanitary
faelllUes and the ability of the c()m'
munlty to rid Itsel! or all waste foods
and other thlnll'S that will decay. These
are deposIted in the sewers and In a
S'hort space at time they reach the river
and are lost.
"Now if the s""'ers are clogged they
will fill up. In~teail or the water running away it will back into cellars and
give out unhealthy odors,
·'Placlng snow in the sewers is dan~
gerous unless 1t Is watched closely.
Experleneed men should be stationed at
felt io her appearance here, 'where she
and Ice have melted and been carrie{!
away before the next load Is allowed to
be deposited."
"Isn't there some dirt in this snow
which would as.lst In clogging the sew·
ers 1" the Commissioner was asked,
HARD TO FLUSH IT.

'II suppose there is:' he replIed. "It'
too much is taken up tram the streets
and railways It might be a hard matter
to flush out. ..
"In how long a perlo&lt;! or time should
the fee and snow melt?"
"In about twelve hours ....

:OR, ,\V. D. GREENE.

"'But it there Is not enough water--"
"It. there Is 'Dot enough water. U interrupted the doctmo, "the Sewel'S will
cease to work and we'll ha.ve our
troubles."
Crltlclsm or dumping the snow Into
the Sewers Is common since it became
known that Col. Ward had already
done thJs in Genesee Street. A sewer
contractor we]) known in ButfaJo and
one who has built many of them
thIs
City, said anent the proposition:

in

WILL CAUSE TROUBLIi:.

"Col. Ward w!ll flnd that he hM
caused luore trouble than he pos~ibly
imagines If he continues dumping
snow into the sewers,
The reasong
aga.inst the proposition are allnost too
many to mention. But t,he princIpal
one would be the clogging of the sewers with spow, ice and dIrt, resulting"
In a backage or water during the &amp;IV
nual spring floods.
"At the present time there J8 not
enough water runnlng through the sew~
ers to carry away the mass of snow and
dirt which Col. Ward intends to throw
Into them. This will mean that the
snow and dirt will form Into a comnac t mass and clog the sewage, hotdng it in the drains. When the spring
"1oods come on the warmer water will
melt a portion or this Ice and snow, the
sewers w1l1 fill completely with ",a.ter
B.nd It wlll back up in the pipes, floodIng cellars In every low po~tion of tho
city.
"Any person who bas bunt sewers
will e.""plaln that they are not meant
for the work the Commissioner desires
performed, The sewers will not CatTY'
the dirt in the snow away; the water
will not melt the snow because there
will be too much snow. And wltb the
sewers full and cellars full, the city
will be ur.sanltary and unhealthful."

PresIdent ~engerer read a report. in
which he ~ald that the association was
organized. In 1872; it was conceived as
a charitable organization, but it became a business proposition and drifted
into the insurance business. However,
the fra terna1 features which have always marked all the transactions of
the associa;:ion were not divorced. Mr.
Hengerer E',ald that the lodge insured
only Free and Accepted Masons and
was the only association of its kind 00
the face of the earth.
J3lnce Its organization, ~'fr. Hengerer
salp'" the. organIzation had paid $3,176,737.{S to widows, orphans and other
! beneficiaries of deceased members. He

that durIng the year just closed

there was a net gain of insurance in

association are $121,700. with a safety

If smallpox in the Infecte/dlstrlct of

(be eJghth pl'eciot't continues to decrease
at the rate it has during the last t.wo
weeks, It is said La be probable the dis ...
ease will be entirely stamped out before
another fortnight has passed.
The high-water mark, so far as the
number or c'aS(lS is concerned. was reachabout Cbristmas ttmG. At that perion
o houses wero under quarantine and 120
patrolmen were detailed to guard tbt!m.
Two weClks ago tbe number, alter fluct.uating somewhat, had dropped to 88 oases
and yesterday the Dumber of houses under quarantine was but fifteen with 46 men
on qun.rantlne delaiL ",1'IthID the week
but ODe new case was reported. That was
at No. 124 Scars st.feet. The house was
placed under quarantine on Monr,)ay and
the quarant1ne was raised yesterday.
The marked decrease in the number of
Dew cases repoI·ted is beltevd by the

the end of the smallpox E'pJdemic. Under

ax) y n e e
I tenance of school
repairs and rna n
AId J N.
buJldinga were ma.de bY son 'SuperinAdam and Henry P. E mer,
tendeot of Schools.
!
r of
Ald. Adam was speaking in aVO en
his resolution, passed by the AI~erm t~
pro\tidlng that an act be sublDllted t
tbe LegIslature permitting the cIty 0
bond itself for $600,000 for school pur·
poses, when he said;
th
"I would like to call attention to e
manner in which tbe fund for the repairs to schools is handled. The chard
ter requires that a. sum not to excee
$200 000 be placed in the estimates annually and for this fiscal year an
amount of $150,000 was placed in the estimates. While the Common council
was sDendlng its time examining httt:
items which came before it thIs m?ney
was being spent ~... ithout being subJect ..
ed to any supervision ,,·hatever. By
reference to the Comptroller's books we
lind that. so far this year, the foliowlng
items ha,re been expended:
'I'
"Repairs. $34.000; furniture. $1•• 500,
supplies. $2000; rents. $2600; Inspection.
$500; Insurance, $1300; taxes, SIOO, and
sundries, $32,000." In making this statement Ivlr. Adam called attention to the
large amount ot money whlcb was accounted for under the head of "sundries." He added that he supposed that
what this money went for could be
learned by going through the books of
the Department of Public Works. Ife
also remarked that $25.000 had been
spent for plans tor school buildings.
COL. WARD 'S REPL Y.

Commissioner Ward replied that he
dId not feel required to make any defense, as be had just come into the departmen t, but he said that. AS a matter
of justlce. It sbould be stated that the
Items which had been read were hurriedly turnlshed at the request of Henry A. RIchmond ot the Butralo School
Association who wished to know ho\\~
the funds of the deparunent stood. He
thought if any criticism were to be
made the subject should be gone into
thoroughly.
Col. Ward addM the interesting Information that, wltbin the last four
yean&lt;, the sum of $5',000 had been spen t
for plans by the city and of this amount
$17 ,000 had been speqt tor plans which
were not used.
"How dId that happen 1" asked Mr.
Stoddart.
"I do not lmow," answered Col. Ward.
"The plans were accepted and paid for
but were not used."
Then Supt. Emerson contributed his
part to the symposium. Said he:
"Every since the time that I "'~as an
aSSistant in one ot the Bchoo]s of this
I city it has been a tradItion in the
Scbool Department that the tunds for
!,epatrs on school buildings Were used
In a wasteful manner. The fact that
the city has paId thousands ot dollars
for plans Jt never used Is right in line
witb thIs. I believe tbat when the cost
of a proposed school buildIng Is definitely !=itated and an architect goes
away over that cost he ought to lose
bis pay tor drawing the plans"
The resolution looking to th~ Issuance
of $600.000 school bonds "'as approved,

N. L. Burnham as health physiCian in
the 4th Distri ct. Dr. Greene said last
night :
" I desire to state emphatically that
politics had absolutely nothing to do
with the appointment of Dr. Burnham.
1 dIdn't know nor care wbat hls poli~
tic-al feelings were, Dr, Burnham was
named beca use he was the best suited,
to my Idea, for the place.
"I worked In that district myself for
eight yea.rs. Before naming Dr. Cott·s
successor, I went down the re on two
evenIngs to see the people and find out
what they wanted. They all expressed
preference for a man instead of a woman.
"I had Dr. Burnham promise to plfICe
an office In the district before I named
hIm. I have nothing but the kindest

Alderman Jim Smith t Inks that
there Isn't a fairer spot In the city of
Buffalo than the 11th ward, which talles
In the stock yards and divers other
places of Industry for which the city Is
famous. Alderman John Martin thinks
the same thing of the 20th ward, ai-I
though he concedes that he hasn't anything particularly good to brag about
except a. few handsome thoroughfares,
theaters, hotels and churches. However,
when the question of shifting the vac·
clnatlng station from Alderman Smith'.
ward to Alderman Martin's ward came
up at ye.terday's meeting of the Board
of Aldermen, thet e was trouble. Health
Commlssioner GretdY Sbggested that
the vaccinating station at No. 1048
Broadway be abandoned and that all
vaccinating that is necessary in the future be done in the women's department
at public bath No.2, at Stanlslau.
street and Woltz avenue.
"Not mUCh," saId Alderman Smith.
"The people out there wouldn't visit
the bath. They would think there was
smallpox there. I'm against that."
"But the clty wtll save $12. If you
pas, this resolution now. If you lay It
over a week we will ha.ve to pay a.nother month's rent,.' said Alderman
ZoeUer of the 18th ward.
l "l Imow what would happen," said
Aldehnan Kennedy at the 19th ward.
"You just let anyone who has had any~
thIng to do wIth smallpox go near that
bathhouse and you'll have a panic."
"I thInk we ought to adopt the commissioner's recommendation," said Alderman MarUn. "Shift It" to the bathhouse."
"What bathhouse?" demanded Alder·
man Smith.
"The one near the smallpox district,"
said Alderman MartIn.
"That's No.1 on The Terrace," sa.id
Alderman Smith.
HThere never was a. case ot smallpox
In my ward," said Alderman Martin,
IndIgnantly.
"There Is just as much danger there
a. there 19 out my way. I never thought
much ot this smallpox scare, a.nyway."
Alderman Martin made sure that the
bathhouse In hi. ward wonldn't be ar·
fected. Alderman Sml th trIed to sav~
the one In his section of the City, but
he was beaten.
Hereafter, people who wan t to be yacc1nated will have to call at public bathhouse No.2.

"No, George, It isn't tllat. You've got

write another message to t~e committee, stating that the people demand a

IN NEW YORK CITY,
T~ are vaccinating by force in New
York city. The Health Department has
employed a specIal staff of 135 men and
they travel In squads all over the city.
They are accompanIed by policemen and
when unvaccinated persons are found ih
districts where smallpox has broken
out they are vaccinated whether it meets
with their wIshes or not, The Health
authorities recognize that the present Is
not the time for argument, but for action and they are determined to stamp
out the disease. As a result of this vigorous vaccination there is less smallpox
in New York than any other big city
the country.

OF

With Millions Bearing Vaccination Scars New York Is in
Comparative Security.

Of The New YOt'k Times:

I l'Ce from a recent issue of your pn]Jcr
that ut a meeting of the ::.\o!etl1cal AS!SIJ(li.l.tlon of the County of New York the COUlmittee of PublIc Health, through its Chairman.. Dr. N. E. Brill, made a repurt of
its Investigation In.to the antitox;n and
vaccine virus products of the laboratort~s
of the Department of Health, The oplnl;:,~
of the committee, which was that the~e
products 'were absolutely safe, may prove
satisfactory to the Department of Health
and to some others, but there is n. vague-ness In its term s whIch w1ll not commcml
it to those disposed to be critical.
It can easUy be believed tbat Dr, Parle
(a "ery excellent man,) who ha.3 ch.J.rgt'
of the department devoted to the IJi"Odu(" tlon of diphlheria antitoxin, would Wlll:i'Kly giye them his co-opel'atton, but it wnuld
have lJeen more satisfuctory to the lli.lillIc
bad the committee's In\'8$Ugatfon be~n C'onducteu on independent hnes. It is c"hl(m t
fronl the fncl that l'banges In th?l ~rt.H tment of the horses llavt! been made lhat
reform was nCl:!esso.n'
,,·1th regard to the' ~oncluJjng POl ti.O'l (.f
the committee's report, it. may be ~aid tnHt
no one has ever roun(l ['HIlt \ ..'ith the Ch31acter. professional qual1ficatlons and stand
Ing of the men engaged In the system bnr
in the system itself, as practiced by the
Department of Health. ~o one :lo_lbted
the qualifications of the men en~8n'{'tcl m
similar work in St. Louis, but W ~ ~ la!(;,'...·
what happened th~re. The mere tact th;)t
the ("ommiUce thinks that it woulq b~ lJettel' to ha \'e the labora torles removed to
some c0!lntry place is an indIcatIOn that
further improvements ..lre possible.
Dr. Brlll refers to Ihe recent death of a
.. few persons" In St. LOUis, overlooking
the fact that the mOI·tality in St. LouIs
through the adminIsterIng of impure SQrurr.
was greater than that in the tunnel hOlTor

ly protesting agaInst the measure. In
substance, it Is as tollows:

"I have examined wIth some haste
bill No. 4·15. Introduced by request,
amending the tenement~bouse law. I
beg to say I believe it to be a most

..,..

pernIclous proposal for special leglsla-

tiou for the benefit of persons who tlnd
the law, as It now stands, for Borne
reason or other, 1nconven1ent or incompatlble with their plans. I do not see
there can be any excuse for askIng
Ieg:slation as this Is. The provisions tor fireproot staircases and tor
plaC'lng stairs on the outside of a non-

fireproot bulldlng were to prevent the
rIsk ot loss of Ilte by fire. a thing which
you know to be very common. The
fact that a bulldlng is surrounded by
open places or stands a certain dis-

tance from the front or rear ot the lot
in no way, so far as I can see, modifies
the necessity for It. fire protection. It
Is very clear that lJ' loss ot llJ'e by' fire
is to be reduced, Borne severe measures
have got to be taken in the future to
reduce thls rIsk. In the same way the
amendment as to size and
sitUation of windows 18, to my mind,
made to suit the idIosyncrasies ot some

architects or owners
"These proVIsions' seem to me not
only unnecessary In themselves but to

establlsh an exceedingly bad pr~cedent
Further. In all probability the la
.
amended. will be tound to 'confiict~'1~~
other provIsions of the law as It
stands.

A repre!'Jentative of the assocIation called at the

did not have an enforced vacclnatlOI1 lal\'. Dr.

The Duthorities have not relaxed their

In London, it is stated, nev6r in the
history of Lloyds has there been ,0
muoh insuranoe recorded a" that
arising from the preseut small·pox
epidemic. Firms whioh usnally silm.
only 80 to 100 polioies a day have reo
cently found their output average 600

from halt a orown per 100 for vao·
cinuted nersons and 40 pence for un·
vaccInated persons to J5 shillings and
21 shillings per 100 for oertam fli.

Reports recived fDm large cities in
various EectioDs of the United StMes
show that the present epidemic i. more
severe than any whioh has visited

I ENTERED OWN HOUSE;
In a decision handed clown in ~Iuni­
cipal COllrt yesterday, Judge Volgel' established a precedent whkh will have
the effect of making it easier to stamp
out contagious diseases. He has upheld the Health Department in a case
against a man who yiolated the ordi-

nauce which forbids anyone from entering 01" leaving a house while it is
under quara.ntine. There has been a
disposition on the part of lnany of
those under Qual'autine in the recent
smalll)ox cases in East Buffalo, to resist the entOl'cement of the health ordinances, with the result that the
Health Depal't111ent was rnore 01' less
hampered in ils work.
The case was that of the city against
Adanl IoCl'ieger, who li'Ves at No. 248
Wilson Street. The house contains
l \\'"0 other families.
K.rieger
was
c-harged with entering his house after
it had been placarded with the quarantine sign. Judge Yolger inflicted a fine
of $~O and costs.
According to the e,rldence, on Saturday. February J, two of Kreiger's children were found to have smallpox.

evening, and was told that if he entered the house he could not leaYe it.
He was advised that if he \'oTished to
continue working he had better stay
away until the qual'antine was raised,
It is alleged that on the Mouday fol·
lowing he returned while two bealth
inspectors were engaged to fumigating the l'ooms. In ~plte of VI"arning,
they claim, he ran through the roonlS
and attempted to assail thelD with a
sho\·el. lCl'ieger offered In defense that
he thought the house was on fire and
secured the shovel in ol"der to throw
snow on the flames.
Health Commissioner
Greene, in
speaking of the case, said: "I believe
it is a good thing that this cou\'iction
has been made. It "rill impress upon
the peOl)le that when they run a quarantine, resist the inspectors. or in any

it was his own, Krieger was re-arrested
and was haled into Municipal Court.

Attorney Elss of the Corporation Coun·

and

KrIeger was defended by Attorney Ern·
est W. McIntyre. The latter attorney
contended that as Krieger had already
served a term in jall in connection
with the case he should not be prose·
cuted further. Judge Vol gel' held that
the cases were entiFely separate and
ordered a fine of $20 and costs, Which
was paId.
I&lt;:rieger was asked why be entered

it was on fire. Also when asked if he intended to put the fire out witb a shov~l.

he said he tn tended to shovel some

Tbe Clubroom ot the Women's Union
Was completely IIlled yesterday att.rnOOn tor the talk given by Dr. WIUlam C. Krauss, whose subject was &amp;Itnounced as "NervoU8 Dlse~ea ot
Childhood." Beside. the members of
the ;\!others' Club, there were inter_
ested friend., and Miss Ella C. Eifler'.
Kindergarten class, whlcb Is conductOd
at the Union, came down to HateD to
Dr. Krauss.
Tbe meeting was the Round Table
of the physical development department. and Mrs. James A. Darlington
presided.
Dr. Krauss devoted his talk to explaining In what ways nervous dt.eas~s of Children may be aVOided.
In opening, he spoke at length .n
tbe Importance of heredity In th. mat.
ter or the child'. health. and said that
only a clean bUI ot health handed do,,"
to a chlld from Its ancestors can give
the chlld a sound body and sound
mind. In pas.lng. the speaker affirm_
ed. quotlng an eminent aulhorlty, tbat
the blrthratp of America 1!1O lower thu
that ot France. Environment may do
much to smother weak traits that han:
bepn Inherited. T\\'o-thlrds of the '0called nervOus diseasE'S are due to
heredity, Ner\'ous prostration he char.
acterlzt'd as the gTeat American d\!.
ease.
:\' ext to a clean blll of health at
brrth. the matter of proper foO&lt;! Is ot
lhe utmost Importance in guarding lh.
chtld against disease, Oatmeal. sa.ld
lhe doctor. Is th~ very be.t food UW
can be gi,~en. Cereals should always
be ta kE'n withou t ~ugar. Orange juke
and prune- pulp he recommended as nu·
trltlous. and he saId that In early child·
hood meat preparations should be gt..en I
'"er)' sparingly.
)tothE"rs ~hould guard against tea.v1ng their children in the care of Ignorant ann unprincipled nur~es and '1)\.,1
f"rnp~~es who wlll frighten them Into 1
obet.1ience by threat~ of ghosts and gob-I
tins, thus laying the foundation for
qhattered nerye~, Early Impre~sion5'
are lasting, and that whIch goes tnto a
chl1d'~ mind Crom the time It reach!1I
three year~ until It Is ten, ne'~er goes
out. .

"Let a. child grow normaUy. ~a IJ
the doctor, "Too many parents wrnk

The City ot Buffalo Is not bankrupt,

Republican Common Council or 1901 to
do Borne "cheese parIng" for political
effect, the clty Is In the unenviable
»081 tion, In Borne importan t departments. ot being out at money and unable to pay It. bills. The clty's crellit
ta good, there Is plenty of money to the
clty's credit In the banks, but It Is not
available for the uses that certain departments could put tt to.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FUND
EXCEPT FOR FIXED CHARGES
SUCH AS SALARIES IS EXHAUST_
ED AND BILLS ARE BEING HELD
UP BY THE~ COMPTROLLER. AS
THERE IS NO MONEY AVAILABLE
FOR PAYING THE SAME.
THERE IS NO ~lONEY TO BUY
COAL.
THE DEPARTMENT HORSES MAY
GO HUNGRY. FOR THERE IS NO
MONEY TO BUY OATS HAY AND
FEED.

THE WOMEN WHO SCRUB AND
:WASH FOR THE FIRE HOUSES l\IAY
HAVE TO GO WITHOUT THEIR
HARD EARNED MONEY.
Other city funds are exhausted and illegally overdrawn.

The condltlon ot affairs Is truly piti-

able In the extreme.

inasmuch as the.

fiscal year does not end till June aOthso the Fire Department and other de~

PRIl\CE TO F.'LLS,

Ald. Moest saId that the suggestion
ot a special train to take those bearing tickets of admittance to the reception at the station and others who
might desire to go had also been arranged to tallow the PrInce's train
from the sta tion to Niagara. Falls. This
!'peclal will leave ten minutes after the
departure at the Prince's own train
and w11l reach the Falls sbortly alter
he arriYes. "thile those who take it
may have no chance of meeting the
Prince, tht&gt;y will be enabled to see him
on his tour down the Gorge Railroad
and across to Canadian side.
When thIs had been explaIned the
Mayor made the statement that he had
wired the agen t of the Lake Shore
Railroad at Chicago asking it arrangements could not be made to have the
Prince take a carrIage ride through the
Atreets of BuffalO. He received a reply
that his telegram had been turned over
to the Prince's committee of. arrangements and that a reply would be sent
later.
"There I•• great prabablllty that no
change will be made In the programme," ~aid :.\:layor Knight, "but 1
thought I'd take a chance at It. It
would make a much more pleasant reception fHl' him."
The commIttee adjourned to meet thIs
morning at 10:30 o'clock.

an opf'n caM'iage and he would thWl
be nble to see and be seen.
The time of the arrival of Prince
Henry Is 2:45 o'clock. The tram, It Is
believed, will be precisely on Ume, a.
the railroad officials are endeavoring to
carry him around the country just as
the first schedule was prepared. HE"
lett Milwaukee at 10 o'clock last
nigh t.
Today he Is bowl ing across
Indiana and Ohio and into Ne,v York
State, wIth short stops at Toledo and
Cleveland, and perhaps a few other
statiuns.
The train will leave But'falo at:;
o'clock and will reach NIagara Falls
forty-five minutes later_ The prince
will go eastward in the early evening
after his View at the greatest and
most wondel'ful falls In the world.
Sll\GERS TO PAR'rICIPA'I'E,

Last evenIng tbe Buffalo Orpheus
held a meeting to decIde on the programme to be rendered, It was decided to deliver one, and possibly two,
numbers, German welcome 60ngs and
German airs forming this part of the
entertainment Other Gernlan BIng,~l's
are also Invited to meet wah the Orpheus to fo.!'1l1 the chorus,
~Iayor KnIght lijst nIght receIved tbe
following telegram dated Aoll1waukee,
from DavId J, Hill, AssIstant Secretary ot Stat., deClinIng the carrIage
ride (or the PrInce. It Is evlaent trgm
the telegram that the IntentIon ot
makIng a loop and catching the train
on Its way to the Falls was not understood. The telegram is as f.allows:
"Replying to your telegram to Lake

cannot leave J'aIlway staUon tor It
drive. ~'i11 appear on rear platform of
end car to receive you and greet the
people. "-ould be pleased to have you
accompany us to NIagara Falls."
As M:tyor KnIght had already received an invitation from the Prince
through Mayor Butler of NIagara Falls
to accf'lmpany the Prince 00 hi~ trip
dmvn the Gor~eo Railroad, and had
made arrangemen tg to go, he 'will. ot

NEW
HEALTH COMMISSIONER GREENE
SPOKE OF INADEQUACY
OF
PRESENT INSTITUTION.

I

All cattle that come to Buffa10 are
unloaded at the Stock Yards. The Inspectors examine them and all that
show tuberculos1s are condemned, The
condemnation only prevents the stock
trom being re-shlpped. They can go
no farther by rall. The owner must
dispose ot them the best way he can.
How are they disposed of ? Dr.
Clarls states that they remaIn In the
vlclnlly ot Buftalo.
Men resembling
farmers and dairymen or their employes
come to the Stock Yards tor them and
drive them away. It Is not presumable
that they drive the rows to ~ew York
or Chicago, and none are seen 8wlmmlng the Niagara River or otherwise
crossing it Into Canada,
Dr. Claris has notified Health Comml~sJoner GJ:.eene...of the traffic tn diseased Hve stO'CP'!!ld called his attention
to the probabilIty at there beIng dlseaRed milk sold in consequence of the
traffic. Dr. Greene will U8e every preC'a utton about having tubercultn tests
applled to the contests ot the mIlk cans
of every mUkman in the city, but
beyond that he has no authorIty.
"We ought to have power to klll dIseased cattle wherever found," Dr.
Greene said this mornIng. "It would
be an easier matter to kUl a. diseased
cow than to find its mllk when the
animal has been taken somewhere Into
the country and the mIlk Is mIngled
wIth that ot healthy cattle. But we
have no such authority. I beHeve there
Is a blll now betore the Legislature,
kno,vn a:= the Gra.eft bUl, wblch authorIzes the local authorIties to klll every
dtseaRed ('ow wherever found. at the
expense of the owner. I am not very
tamlllar wIth all the terms at the
measure, but It seems to me that such
a la~' should be on the statute books."

StorIes have been circulated In lit.
East Buftalo stockyards that dise.""
callie are beIng dumped In the il'ound~
It Is belleved that the storl .. are belD.
told only to secure legIslation tbal1l
nrce.aary and that the wh,le tblur U
onll' a bIg poll tical job.
Much attention has been gIv.n Ih.
matter by Ald. James SmIth, who
th. t the reports about the whoI.sal.
tXIf:.tenct' of tuberculosIs at the yards
are not true and lhat It the Gra.ft
blll Is passed It means an expenditure
ot $200 for ev~ry car load 01 caltle
coming into the yards.
"The- Go\"e-rnment Inspectors at the
stockyards are thoroughly able to lake
c,'re of the stock," said Ald. Smith.
"The UnIted States Government p.y.
twelve of the~e Inspectors for the pur·
pose of condemning all meats found to
be dlsoased. The city ot Bullal. al!o
has two In!;pectors OUt there.
"The story h:\~ been circulated rim·
ply to help along a sneak bill at AI·
bany. The btll provides for the !m·
ployment of more Inspectors at an ex·
f pense at $200 a carload, or about 11.000
a. w('ek. This expense would have to bf
borne by lhe cattle people, and. of
course, eventually by the con8umers."

$15 ,000 Will Buy
New Site.
The t".o
representatives
ot the
Eighteenth ward In the Common Council, Ald. George Zoeller and Councllma.n
Henry C. Steul, are working In an en~r­
getlc fashion these days for the removal ot the pest house tram theIr
ward. They contend that thl. Institution is a grea.t detriment to a flne ann
growing section of the city and most
ol the people who are informed on thf&gt;',
subject Feern to agree with the.m.
But conceding. or assuming, that the I
pest house should be banished from
the BPot where It is-hOW shall the
change be brought about 7 At last
,\Vednesday's meeting at the Boa.rd of
Councilmen that body vetoed the proposition to bond the city for $50,000 to
buy a new site tor the Quarantine hospital. and BO procedure must be along
some other lines.
Various men have 'var10us ideas as
to what should be done.
1
"It would be all nonsense to issue
bonds In the sum of $50,000 because a
site wouldn't cost any such amount,"
said Ald. Zoeller. "A .Ite might cost
$15.000 but not mor •. It would be bettor
to find out what the cost at a site ,,,"oulll
actually be before issuing bonds In any
amount.
VALUES DEPRESSED NOW.
"With regard to the proposition to
spll the prf&gt;sent site belore we buy another," continued Ald. Zoeller. 1'1 am or
the opInion that no one would give an
adeoquate price tor the present !=lIte ~-o
long- a~ a Quarantine hospItal remains
upon It. Property In that nelghborhoou
js so run down on account of the hospital that It Is lower there than at any
"'pot on East Ferry street to the city
line.
"But by ISRuing bonds and buying a
new site nnd reomoving the hospital, the
In('rease in values on East Ferry stre-et
would double the worth ot the prp~e-nt
ho~p1t[\l site In a very short time. Then,
and not no'l\~, would be the time (or
the city to sell.
"My Idea I. to advertise for bids for
the new 81 te and then issue bonds tor
the Bum needed,"
"Hasn't all the harm been done to
property on East }i'erry street that ever
well be clone by the pest house?" was
aoked.
"The dama.ge has bepn done and ,,'UI
ahvays remain untn the hospital is removpd. Property in the vicinity of the
hospital. whloh ought to bring $45 to $60
a foot, is pracUC'ally worthless, and wlll
remain so until the pest house is
moved,"
:\lr. Rt.ul disagree" with ~lr. Zoeller
as to the nlode of procedure though he
agl'PPA hpartlly with htm regarding the
d •• lrablllty of g~ttlng the pest house
out at their 'w ard.

Impossible to enforce vaccination, and, for
thR.t rea~on, the bill f:.hould pass, The
Commissioner snld:
"Th4' hill llrovic\t"&gt;s that it a chUd has
not been varclnated It can not go to

Corporation Counsel Feldman has re·
ce-lved a request from Health Commls.
slone .. Greene that he look Into th~
much mooted question of placing the
propOf~ed new quarantine hospltul tor
this city outside of the city limit,.
Strong arguments ha.ve been made 111
the Common Council and In the Aldermanic committees In this cotmection.
but such E;uggestlons have been resented by Health Commissioner Greene on
the ground that tbe adjoining town in
whloh the city might want to go ,.. Ith
the ho~pltal. or pesthouse, WOuld raise
strong obJections.
At a rpC"ent sessIon of. the Aldermanic
Committee on Finance Dr. Gre~ne said
he had read of an Ohio city going outside of Its boundaries and erecting Its
pesthou~e. whereupon
the town In
which the building was erected brought
an action against the city on which
It won In the courts and the building
had to be torn down and moved back
over the city line.
To guard against anything ot this
sort happening here. Dr. Greene called
upon ('orpol'atlon Counsel Feldman yesterday and laid the matter before him.
An opinion will be g1Yen In a tew
days.

Action of Aldermen In Calling
for Bids for ftle Work
it Was APprove~d.

Alarmed at the prospect at Incurrlnc
expense In connection with the proposed plan. for a new Quarantine Hospital, the Councilmen were lricllned to
refer the resolution passed by the
Board of Aldermen directing the Commissioner at Public Works to prepare
plans and Bpecilications. ACter hearIng Health Comlssloner Greene and receiving assurances Crom Commissioner Ward that the plans would cost.
nothing except the time devoted to
them by several employes In hhl department, tbe Councilmen yell'terday merely
tacked on an amendment that there
should be no expense Incurred and sent
the resolution back to the Aldermen.
That body may approve oC It next Mon_
day.
Health ComlBBloner Greene Is empbatlc In demanding tbat something be
done forthwith towards s ecuring a new
Quarantine Hospital. The present structure on East Ferry Str... t Is crowded to

tbe eaves at present. some 50 smallpox
patients being there. Six new patients
were llent to the Quarantine Hospital
Tuesday, a tact wblcb shows that tbe
dlHue Is not stamped out bere In Buf, talo by any means. Commisslone.
Gre..ne deplores the tact that be Is n&lt;lt
able to tak.. better care of his patient.
under existing condition.. The Quaranllne Hospital Is really a very shabby
and unsatisCactory makeshift and Is a
disgrace 0 a civilized community. The
lighting Is by kero.ene lamps and I.
unsatisfactory and dangerous.

I

A. lfano.... E_:pe,
A few nights ago a patien't while
Crom hlB bed, seized t,,·o
lamps and put tbem under the bed. A8
the · heated tops of the lamp chimney.
were but a few Inches Crom the lower
side oC an InHamable mattress It I.
easy to see that a disastrous conHagraUon 'Was narrowly averted. The Quarantine Huspltal Is In reality a prison,
being equipped wltb beayy doors and
barred wlndow,8. Had tbe delirious patient succeeded In his attempt to heat
his bed 'by the aid of the kerosene
lamps there would haye been a Hre and
a telTlble loss ot lite.
Commissioner Ward has agreed to run
wires or gas pipes to the bospltal and
supply a better and safer system of
lightlng wlthou! turther delay.

Idellrio\l'8 arose

I

All Sorts ...cl OoDclitiODI.
Under existing conditions It Is impossible to separate the pa tlents satllfactorlly. Tbey are huddled together to
an uncomCortable delP."'e. Yesterday It

became necessary to send a woman ot

the town, a prominent babltue oC the
red-light district, to the Quarantine
Hospital. There was no belp for It. She
is out there now, living in close companionship with virtuous women and

' girls, who. having contracted the disease. were sent to the Quarantine Hospital COl' saCety to the community. It
the City had provided a suitable bUildIng, the Health Commissioner would
have been able to avoId su('h distressIng arrange ments. As it Is now, th e In-

nocent and the guilty are ('ompelled to
live togethe r awaiting the ('Our~l~ of the

Stoddart..
Col. Watd was asked how the expense
of the plans would be provided lor.

"There will be no expense," he re·

pll84. "The plaIllJ will. be made by the
iDepartment of Public Work .....
"Why make plans for a building betore we know where we are going to

to the pest house remalnlnlr In the

"W~

"We bave sot a site," replied Mr.
Flelsohmann.

"I don't know about that," replied Mr.
Steul with some heat. "We dbn't all
feel alike on that subject."
'l'l\e resolution of the Aldermen W&amp;8
then passed.

A lot of time was spant again yesterday arguing about the printing bllie for

»revalled.
A little I ..ter Mr. Stoddart, who had
been appOinted a committee ot one to
!lee the various newspapers with the ob.
ject oC getting lower rates for advertiling, said he had "Iolted the English
newspapers, not having had an oppor...
tunlty as yet to see the German news·
papers. and had found In every Instance
the business management willing to
enter Into contract for tbe publication
ot 1000 or 2000 lines a year. The prices
ol'lered, he aald, were 331-3 per cent.
leM than were now paid.
"I look upon the attempt to enforce !N:::"~.
the State legal rate wltb reference to

said Mr. Stoddart.

Mr. Dunbar.
"What are you going to do about It ;

Health Commissioner Begins
Crusade Against Unsanitary Conditions - Unless
Law Is Enforced Danger
Is Great.
An active campaign against unsanitary conditions pre\'aliing tn some ot
the tenement houses of Buffalo was
sounded
by
Health
Commissioner
Greene yesterday as a result of the disclosures made by Dr_ D. J. Constantine,
who is In charge of tenement house in~
spectlon.
It Is Dr. Greene's opinion that It the
laws governing sanitation in tenement
houses were allo1\'ed to run lax Buffalo
In a few years would find itself In pos~
session ot a congested tenement district
like those In Chicago and New York,
where any amount of expense and fight·

Ing would tail to rid the blotches trorr
the elty, A city free from slums and
destitute of the obnoxious conditione
prevaiJIng In some ot the larger citle~
Is the picture ot Bul'falo's future a~
planned by the Health Commissioner.
lD this connection support Is given
by the Society at BeautitYlng BulIalo,
which has come out in one of the
strongest planks of its platform for
sanitary tenements. "If we must haye
tenements' they shall be clean, well,lighted, sanitary, and not overcrOl\'ded," as the slogan sounded alike by Dr.
Greene and the beautltylng society.

It Is Dr, Greene's opinion that If the
laws governing sanitation in tenement
houses were allol\." ed to run lax Buf'faio
In a tew years would find itself in possession or a congested tenement district
like those In Chicago and New York,
where any amount of expense and fight·

destitute of lhe obnoxious conditions
prevailing In some of the larger cltle!
jl8 the picture of Buffalo's future as
planned by the Health CommissIoner.
In this connection support is given
by the Society of BeautifyIng Butral o ,
which has come out in one of the
strongest planks of its platform for
sanitary tenements. "If we must ha'~e
tenements' they shall be clean, well.
lighted, sanitary, and not overcrowd·

Greene and the beautifying society.

Dr. T, ?IoL C.ro\\"~, ; membpr or tilt!
civil-service commisflion, proposed n.
plan at Monday night's meeting ot the
board to forestall what he ~tylel1. "very
great danger."
The whole object ot
his plan is to preclude the po:-;~tbility
at any Elo-caUed phYsician or only medl .
cine, not versed in Burgery, ever becomi.ng district physician in Butl'nlo.
Dr, Crowe Is the only physician on the
board. The other members moved to
adopt his n1an without question ..
The nlatter was brought up bE"('ause
there 1s a yaC'ancy in the forte of distrkt phY~lcians, without an eligiblf&gt; list
froln which to appoint one. Dr. Crowe
11ad be£'n delegated to prepal'~ n n examination for the applicanta. He ma.de
a report at what he intended to do In
the examlna.tion. He said tha.t he had
divided the perfect standing into the
following per(:entage~: Fifty for grarluatlon from a repulable Rehool of surgery and medicine, 25 for at lPRst five
years' practicE'. ten for sobriety and
honesty, ten for guara.ntee ot faithful
performance of dutie~ , three for the
German language, two for any other
language be~lde English.

an Inve~t1gatIon ot the method and conduct of the exam1natlon for aS3i.st.tnt
ntE'rcQJJtile inspector tn the Health De partment. As stated In THE TIMES
yesterday, the committee recommrllded
that the JIst be declared null and void.
its report reflecting considerably upon
Dr. Chauncey P. Smith. former Cilil

be I~ alleged to ha"t"e taken in one or
the app!!cants. lIrs. A. C. Good"'yn
who ·was apPOinted to the position or
assistant mercantile in~peC'tor.
If the Commission as a whole vote!'! to
reject the report of the committee, then
the present list will stand: but Ir It
votes to adopt the report and resolution ot the committee then the list "'Ill
pe thrown out and a new examinaUoD
held.
Sbould the report be adopt~d b)' Ihe
v,·hole commission, then the qUr.KtiOD
arises as to whether l\[Nt. Good")"Il Is
a~slstant Dlercantlle inspector in the
Health Department. It is unden;toOO
that there is a rule somewhere in the
Ci\'il Service Commis~;ion's 1i~t of rules
which provides that when unfatrm)~' II
found in connection with a~ eligible
l1st ot appHcants tor a posItion, that
the name of the person "'ho has ben
n~httullY entitled to her po.ltlon .~
favored can ue stricken from t"~e lI~t,
also that, it any unfairne-::-5 is found in
connectlon with an appotntm~!1T, [hat
the person who has bet'n fa. vored tn [~!'
appointment can be remo,'e&lt;1. In tl e
later case, how~ver, It seems to be more
a matter for the courts.
b'
While no direct charge Is mad. ~
anyone that l.lr5. Goodwyn was t8\'orf·
tn a. way so as to give the ot~e~ a~f\.~i
cants an unfair deal, if the w o. e. ut
Service Commission vot~s to thlo" 0

coupled with such a glaring abuse that
it Js difficult to see the reform part of
it. A big, sleepy-looklng, ugly bulldog
guards the sJJent sleepers in Howard

animals now give that desolale bunal

Howard Cemetery is a disgrace to the
dead and the living. It is sald to be
sadly overcrowded, In fact full to over~

not made any provision In the budget

have to be opened e\'ery time there Is
an Interment there now and the sUent

and then to make room for some unfortunate, In thjs way three and four

The people or '\-Vest Seneca are blttprly oPpos~d to the maintenance o.t
the neglected c('metery and want it
abandoned a s a hUrial place. The devplnpm€'nt of 'Ye~t Seneca is becoming
something marvelous and the neglected
cemetery is a menace to the prosperity
and comfort of the people settling in
the Vicinity of the new steel plant. The
p eople want the old bUrjal ground
abandon ed as a burial place and sug- I
gest that It be leyeled and added to
South Park, thus avoiding the neces~
sHy of exhum1ng the thousands of
hodies there interred.

Luoks LfI.e Sharp Practice,

In the budget just approved by the
Board of Aldermen and now before
the Board of Councilmen [or approval,
or amendment, or rejection. there is an
item of $liiO for maintenance of Howard
Cemetery. The Hem as sent In to the
Common Council by the Comptroller
was as follows: "For stalies, Howard
Cemptery. $150." It was ('hanged to read
"for maintenance." And Mr, Morlock,
the Mayor's self'C'tion for the keepershlp
of the disgraceful burying ground. It is
said, Is to receh;e the $150. JUst how
the graves are to be marked for identification does not appear, for the stakes,
in rh e past. ha\'e been supplied for purposes of identificatIon. Each stake was
numbered and a. record kept of the
na111e and number of each grave. But
if the $150 Is to be diverted to the USe
of the keepel' it must be the purpose of
the 1\layOlo to discontinue the practice
of setting a staJee at the head of ea~h
new grave.. Some of the county offiCers -who are familiar with the c:ondl~
tion of the Polter's Field have stated
that they will present the matter to the
Boa.rd of Councilmen, to the end that
the present place be abandoned and
that a ne\\' and more suitable burying
ground be secured forthwith. It is alsG
stated that the Board of Health of Ule
town of 'Vest Seneca will a.sk the Sta to
to forhld the city authorities from using
the cemetery. on account of its overcrowded condition and· tor other reasons, It is certainly time far the Common Council to take the initiative In
this matter and see to ~t that the unknown and unclaimed dead are given
decent burial. Almost every interment,
jt·is said, is wIthout any burjal service.
The old gl'aYPS are o,Jelled to make
room for another unfortunate of the
'\"'orId, the undertaker who has the con~
tract to b"ury the pauper at the rate of
one-half f1. cent dumps the rude ('offin

importance of a pure water sup·
pi)!
h as is enjoyed hy this city Is
aga demonstrated In th" case of Buf·
falo. The storm roiled the water of
Lake Erie from which the clty's sup·

Dr.

comes from tbe water in Lake ErIe.
DI'. Bissell does not think that tbe
sewerage of Buffalo bW! anything to
do with this; it Is thEl' sewerage frnIn
other cities up tbe lake. ~Iuch 01 tb.

uRlly carrIed down the lake. WheD
the water Is dJ.turoed by storms thIs
sewerage is brought to the suriace and,
is thus carried througb the mains to
the pumping station. The germs, ot
dl."ase are thus brought into every
household in B u ffalo.

Board ot Ald~men and the Erie County Board ot SUpervisors .
On January 31st the city Health Department reported the \l ublic
cemete"y to be In a horrible .tate. Notwithstanding this It has been
used by both city and county, the latter illegally, ever .Ince.
On March 4th the City Clerk was directed to advertise tor a plot of
land tor a new Potter's FIeld. This land has never been purchased.
On March 19th ot tbe same year the Howard Cemetery Committee
ot the Board ot Supervisors reported to that body t bat the county had
'
no right to bury Its unclaimed dead In the Potter's Field, and that the
City Health Depa.rtment had directed that no turther permission tor
1 suoh burials be glyen to the county. In spite of this t he county's u n- ,
claimed dead are still being burled there.
•
On the same date a resolUtion was adopted that the clerk of the Board "
ot Supervisors be directed to advert I.e for proposals tor the 8ale to the
county or a ~ujtabJe cemetery. These bids were never advertised tor,

TnlES called altention last
to the fact that small-pox patto Is had been brought from out-oftown and placed in the city quarantine
hospital, a moveme:nt on the part of
th" Board of Health which atracted
much adver~e criticism from many
physicians, who pointed out the absurdity of moving patients of the klnJ
from thinly popul ... ted country districts
into the city; to gay nothing ot the
'&lt;ne,n" thus exhibited In appropriating
for the u~e of outsiders an Institution
\\ hich nlay be needed at any momel~t
for the U!~I' at the cit~·. for which it has
been provided exclusively.
The Erie County Independent bas
some criticism to make in the matter,
too, although tram a partly dllrerent
srandpolnt than tha.t assumed by th\:J
Buffalo physicians, as follows:
'Ye l\p.ar that two men at ,\\l'ood~
la wn had the small~pox and that
thp town hE"aith board had them
taken in ~n ambulance to the pest~
house in Buffalo. We wonder if It
was fol' tbe healtb of the patients
that they were taken to a place
which one of Buffalo's aldermen
saId "wa:-; Unfit for a dog ... • 'Ve
ah--.o wondel' why they were not
Quarantined where they were, which
would have saved much expense to
the to\\,ll and also minimized the
d...anger of l"preading the disease.
}o 01', ceramly. if Jt were confined
10 one place there would be less
&lt;l'ln~er than if the patients were
carned about the country, Now,

Commis!':;ioner \Vard reported tha.t
Dark &amp; Co. were the lowest bidder tor
the construction of the brick sewer in
Hampshire and Ferry streets, from th~
sewer In Albany street to Elmwood
avenue. Dark &amp; Co.'s bid was $55,900.
The commt ttee on sewers will consider
Commissione r
\Vard's recommendations. Commi~sloner Ward also asked
perml!=lsion to use $4,000, about all that
remains of the South Buffalo fiood fund,
so that the surveying and fteld work for
the abatement of the floods cout&lt;t De expedited.
The permission \\"'8.5 gra.nted.
Comrnl~810ner Ward was authorized to receive bid. for the work of building the
three 'playgrounds ot the Broa.dwa.y
ltfarket, on the Hamburg Canal site
a.nd on the Read ~R oc kwell site on Johnson street.
The a.ction of Health Commissioner
Greene in allowIng the Hamburg smallpox patients to be placed In the Buttalo
Quarantine Hospital was approyed by
the aldermen. Dr. Greene said the town
of Hamburg had agreed to pay for the
maintenance of the patients and that
he had the agreeme-nt In wriUng. Dr.
Greene reported tha t the water In Buffalo Is not good.
He said the recent
windstorm was largely responsible tor
Its condttlon.
The rtport ot the committee on
schools, forbIdding the use ot public
scholB for other than educational purposes, was re-ferred to the com mittee. It
was copsidered too sweepIng.

The cIty's cemetery, its uses, abuses
and condition came in tor a goodly
8hare ot considera.tion and several resoluttons regarding it were oft'ered. IncIdentally, Alde:rman Huster made one
ot his own speeches, saying, among
other thing, that Alderman Wedeklndt ··talked ridiculous" and "didn't
know nothln' about wha.t he was

Alderman Mnllenhotr took up the Is.ue with Sherlll Coppins and offered a

the
Corporation
Counsel for hIs opwlon on Whether the
aldermen 'ha.ve the power to allow Sunday baseball playing, provIding permission was received trom the owners ot

played. Mr. Feldman Is expected to let
the board ' know his Ideas on the Question at the next meeting ot the aldermen. Alderman Mullenhotr, In his deby
terminatioll to "see the boys have a

HOW THE WALL FELL.

Suddenly, ''"lthout warning. the north
wall buckled at a polnt'about flfty teet
trom the ground and then tell outward
Into Ohio Street. Tbe members of four
engine companle~, namely Nos. ~, 10,
12 and 18. were a.t work In Ohio Str ....t
at the time, but wltb the excepLion
ot Kennel and Hoelcle, all of the men
escaped Injury.
The great ma!l;s ot corrugated iron
and huge timbers completely blocked
Ohio Street like a solid wall. That a
number at men were not killed outright Is considered miraculous.
After the wall bnd fallen and ortler
was once more restored to the ranks
of the flremon. Chief McConnell ordererl
a rescuing party to the reUet of the two
untortunate men who had been caught,
Hoelcle was round pinioned under seyeral heavy timbers, but he was extrl·
cated with eaee. An ambulance from
the General Hospital removed him to
his home.
Kennel's rescue \V'3-B not so easily
etrected, He wa~ caught securely under a maM! at debris and sa.ws and axes
had to be brou/;"b t Into use before he
could be released. Then he was placed
In an ambulance and burrled to the
Emergency HospItal.

Chief Murphy to be the flrst of It. kind
to Occur at an elevator fire In this city.
Chief :lIurphy says tbat In all ot his
experience as a fire fighter he never
before heard of the collapse at a burnIng elevator.
At a lat~ hour IllSt night all of the
engines had been withdrawn from tbe
scene of the fire, ·but a dozen lines tram
the flreboat W. S. Grattan were stili
pourtng water upon the smouldering
ruins. In all probablllty It will be s","eral days before the fire Is completely

As predicted In The Courier Sunday
and yes terday. there were evidences ot
a break In the heef trust grip on live
cattle prices ",t the Ea~t Buttalo yards
yesterday. Local buyers took a few

went at prices abou t 25 cents a. h undred
lower t han ror t h e past t wo weeks.
About 6 cent~

was

the

average

for

thl. grade, and that price will reduce
the cost or carcass meat a little. Stili
It I. not enough to make an appreciable
dtt'ferenC'P to the consumer, and the:
break In prices Is chIefly notable as an I
evidence that the trust Is getting hit
by the falling air In meat consumption.
1\l ore evidence was obtained yesterday by Courier reporters at this
change In the use of fresh meats to
either total abstinence or the U!~e of
egg5, fl,!;h and other ~ub~t1tutes for
fref'h bept. pork and veal.
There is R. large over supply at the

look ed for today. Only continued and
heavy buying by the trust represen~
tattves of this grade could maintain
prices, and with the over supply ot

and reports sent out have undoubtedly done great injury to tbe commercial
interests at tbe city. The local health
officers arc guarding the public bealth
wIth great care and intelligence. Every
precaution is being taken to prevent
tbe further spread of the disease.
Yesterday President Bartlett of tbe
board of health sent a notice to the
board of educatioll directing that bouy
to suspend from scbool for a period of
fOllrteen days all pupils who cannot
present a vaccination "ertificate. This
stell is taken as one of tbe safeguards
against tbe disease. It will not work
a bardship as those parents who do
not desire the vaccination of tbelr
cbildren have merely to take them
trom scbool tor a brief period ot two
weeks. By tbat time the local health
board will have the situation well in
hand. Dr. Boothe, the town bealtb otficer, baij laid down tbe same rule as
applying to tbe pupils in the scbools
at East Olean and Boardmanville.
Supt. Holden of tbe Olean scbools had
anticIpated this action on tbe part of
tbe bealth officers and bad made an
inquiry as to tbe number of certificates
01 vaccination already filed with tbe
var.iolls teachers. Tbere are a number
ot tbese and the scbools. will not suffer
seriously even in the withdrawal ot
tbose pupils unvaccinated. It is prob·
able that many will be vaccinated at
once, but tbose woo withdraw will be

bealtb board order. Tbere is no great

week by a

well·known

phYSician. He round, when he made
application at the County Hospital,
that the law torblds the Poor Department to commit a child under 16. He
is IInot old enough to be a pa.uper," But
the city can .end him to the G"neral or
the Sisters' Hospital and pay tor hIs
care, just the same, and that costs the
city $5 a week. The pauper brand Is
on the Coun ty Hospital. and In thIs
case It exclud~ a patient at the clty's
expense. In other cases, many of the
poor people sent to hospItals at the
clty's expense object strongly to going
to the County Hospital. They .ay It
makes them paupers and thel .. neigh·

or some other non·public hospital and
tbe cIty POoys $5 ... week for their admlsalan. A prominent physician lells the
NEWS thOot the city could save many
thousandB of dollars annua)ly if the
County Hospital were not connected
with the Poorhoust=.
Th~ remedy I,. a simple one. though
perhaps not easy so long as rings and
gan,s dominate so much of our city
«overnrnent. The thing to do Is to sep·
arate the county hospital trom the
poorhouee, and the etrectual and economical way to do that I. to sell the
poorhouse tarm. all but the hospital
site. and make that a clty and county
bospltal or a city hospital out an'" out,
and wi th the proceeds ot the oale ostabUsh the paupers on a; Poor Farm a
tew miles out ot the city.
Two dlfficultle9 will have to be ov.r·
come In doing this. One I. the covert op·
posItion ot the hospitals which now get
a revenue trom the city because ot the
difficulty In caring tor those who need
help but would not be brand~ as pau·
,Pers. The other Is the gree'" and the
jealousy ot land sharks. Both th~'" elements worked against a separation betore and would probably
It again.
But "forewarned Is fore armed." The
sepllra tion must come sooner or later
and 1t can come none too BOOn. The
present a.rrangement 19 bad In every
way. and works to the special Injury ot
the city, creating a needless expense.
In the county hospItal patients 'receivo
the same care, the same treatment from
the same physlclans, but that Institution must be avoJded because it 18
branded as "pauper" and the city must
pay the coat. Mayor Knight might well
take up thl8 matter 1n a special message to the Council. He might sUr up
a few doctors whose lnterests are involved, but he would bave (he people

CO~IPLAlNTS

lIADE.

To bring the desirability ot these r.forms to lhe attention ot the public
and the Health Department 80me col.
lateral incidents were introduced in
support ot the argument for the amend.
ments. One of these reterred to the
death of a pupil ot SchOOl No. 44 and
another to the lact that two doctors
who were sent to School No. « to vac.
clnate "hUdren were Intoxicated, and
still another to the tact that on another occa~ion physicians proceeded to
vacc1nate children without using an
antiseptic wash. sterilizing their Instru· i
ments. or washing the arms ot the'
children.
Explained In detail by Prlnclp~1
Knell the details ot the various ca~e9,
taking the most important first, are as
tollows:
"In
the

who lIved
her parents at the cor·
ner ot Broadway and Young Avenue.
~,.1th the others, she was vaccinated.
Very shortly after the operation her
arm began !twelling and symptoms at
blood-poisoning were apparent. The In·
tection spread rapidly and In three days
the lillIe girl died. The autopsy re.
vealed that the vaccination cut had be·
come Intected with dirt due to etthor
defective sterilization ot the Instru.
ments used, or trom the wound becomIng Intected from dirty clothing. This
raised a loud protest against promi:.;CUOllS vaccination In the public scht)ols.
Parents objected to haying their chlldreon vaccinated, and a great outcry wen~
up against the system. This was in
1896. It was to this ca"e I reterred In
my speech at the Principals' Assorlatlon. wben the topic was nnder dis·
cussion.
·',Mention has been made ot Doctors
Heath and May. I have no complaint
whatever against these doctors and
when I referred to two doctors being
Intoxicated while vaccinating children
at my school, I did not mean thp"e
doctors. The circumstances ot' the
event when Intoxicated doctors or stu·
dentg. came to my school to vaccinate
children, were as tol1ows:
THE CASE OF THE DOCTORS.

"It was last November. during the
epidemk At this time. I suppose. the
department was hard pressed and men
and means were employed whIch mJght
not have ohtalned at other limes. It
is hardly possible that the men sent
out to School No. 44 at that tJme wtre
merely students tram the Buffalo Untverslll·. I do not know who they were.
There Is no question but what the doc·
tors were under the Inftuence ot liquor.
They were unnecessarl]y rough and
caused som~ of the pupils they operat· ,
ed upon grievous pain. When I Jearned
of their condition I called up the Bu·
reau ot Heal th and notified the officer,
In charge ot the condition ot the men.
They were Immediately called away'
trom the school and doctors were sent
out ~'ho did the \vork real well. I
presume the intoxicated doctors were
i,roperly disciplined. At the time tb.
Health Department knevt of the doctors being intOXicated, and we reel nb
resentmpnt towards the Health Department on that scarp. )Iore than
that. we- want it understood that ",·e
are not approaching the administration
ot the Health Department In a hosl!lspirit, but In a perfectly talr manner
to secure the reforms which we think
:lre necessary and whtch we know to
be CYf gl'eat advantage.
"The death of Lena Smith occurred
sJx years ago . and the caE=:e at the
drunken doctors was under the last admtnistratlon . • These facts were mentioned as collateral instances as showIng what abuses had exIsted and what
.the charges of improper vaccination
were.
l'iEW CO)IPLA.lXTS MADE.

"But there Is exceUent ground tor
complaint against the conduct ot the
doc tore wbo were la9t flent to our
Bchool to vaccinate the pupils. The doCtorS were not cleaning the arms ot the
children and were using no antiseptic
80lutlon to Insure againJ=!t infection.
All the doctors were using ~·ere knifes
and lancets. the vaccine pOints, an~ a
glass of 1\'ater. The vaccinatlOn VI~S
begun without notification. In our dl~{
trlct the children have not the a .
vanta!,:., enjoyed In other districts and
sometimes the little arms are not as
clean as they might be and the under·
clothing may be a trine soiled. The doctara would not wash the arms and 80

washed arms most of ,the day.

by Health Com·

"~Ve no longer send ou r patient. to

~ald Dr. Greene.
"The Health Department In New York has agreed to take
all of our cases at $50. which Is onehall the price charged by the InBtlture. There is no r eason \"\'hy WI~

Mrs. Morlock called attention to the
fact that the keeper received but $2 for
each grave dug, and Ald. Wedeklndt
then suggE'sted that the proper thing
to do would he to make the posi tion or
keeper a salaried one at a stipend or
$500 a year, aside from the $2 for each
grnye_
"It is a shame the "'ay things are
here, but what can you expect of a man
who receives but $2 for eaCh grave dug?
There is no appropl·iatlon from the city
to care tl)r this cemetery, as there
shOUld be."
Ald. HURter then said he had been
told tha t a former keeper had given a
couple oi bums a lit tIe beer each to gl)
up and dig graves tor the pauper dead
on Reveral occasions.
The member. at the committee talked
over the advlsabllity of securing a new
.lte tor a Potter's Field. Most of them
fa vored this. J. Prior, who runs a sa.loon near Potter's Field. stated that the
odor a. rising from the graves tn the
flummer IH almost unbearable. 1\{rs.
Morlock "aid that people would hang
around the place nlghtR and steal p lants
from the graves and tbat they had had

Cbalrman Harp then said that he
would call a meeting of the committee
tor Thursday night and make a convincing report on the horrible condl~

Two other ('harges we-re aUegpd to
hayp been made by Principal Knell. One
ot the!'£" was that .:\1atilda Smith. 5 years I
old, a schooigirl, had In 1897 died because ot having been yacclnated. Rec·
ords were shown tha t the chlld died of
a. brAin disease, vaccinia being only a
remote- and tributary cause.
Another of thf"se charges was that
two l"ItudenlS had been sent to replace
Dr. Heath and Dr. "h-Iay. The two
"students" were Dr. Alfred Wright and
Dr. E, L, Beebe, both of whom had
graduated.
Principal Knell dId not appear at 4
o'clock, the time s('t for the hearing.
Four other members of the committee
appointed by the Principals' ASl'locia..
tion, how eyer, wert' present. These
were John D. Fisher, principal or
School No.6: H. Vl. Adams, School ~o.
65; George L. Hanley. School No. 49,
and A, G. Rugby, School No, 15. The
Health Department was represented by
Dr. Gre('ne and AfiI~lsta!lt Health Commissioner Edward Clark, who ha,q
charge of vaccinating. Superintendent
)! Education Emerson was not present.
' Vhen the tour me-mbers of the C",lmmlttee arrived Dr. Gl'eClle said he was
read)" to hear the charges. The com·
mitte announced that It had not beeon
appointed to pu~h Principal Knel1'~
charge-so its duty being simply to can·
Emit with the Health Commissioner I'~l
variou5 mate-rs pprtalnlng to the v&amp;.crlnatlon of chtldren in the school~. The
committee asked that the children be
vaccina.ted either at the end or begln~
ning ot the !chool year, so that ab·
sences from school during the mIddle
ot the year l\'ould be a vul1ded.
Arter car~fully con!=lderlng the argu ..
menta Dr, Greene d~c1ded upon thl~
system ot vaccination. Two vaccination
fleae:on~ will be
observed this year,
The ... will be the ten days (ollowlng
the 20th ot 8eptfl'mbfl'r and the ten days:
(ollowlng the 20th of May. The comm ittee wa~ wpll satlsed with this arrangement and Dr. Greene was warmly
commended for his prompt attention
to the ma.tter.
Prlnc1pal K n ell apppared when the
committee had nearly completed Its
vi~lt. and whfl'-n
thpy started to go
Principal Knell wanted to go, too,
"I guees that's perfectly satl!l;tac ...
tory." said Principal Knell. "I ~on't
think I have anything more to say. ?"
"Yes b u t how about these charges.
3!ked 'Dr. Greene. "We would like to
know abou t them,'"
"But you have granted everything WE&gt;
wan ted and I don't think I can ask
tor any more."
Then it was Imprt'8sed upon Principal
Knell that he was to be put under a
cross-examination ,

o( Health. Knell had accuoro Drs.
Heath and :Yay at drunkenne~8 v..'ben
they visited his school during the
lTnallpox 8car~ to vaccInate the children. and that 8S a. consequence- one
o( the pupils died !rom Improper treatment.

I

When summoned yesterday to a hearIng by CommIssioner ~e an"
asked to prove the chargee, Principal
Knell would neither deny nor affirm
that they were true. Dr. Heath 18
reported to have said to Principal
Knell at the bearing:
"You are not manly enough to acknowledge that your cbarges were
false. Your whole manner has bel'n
apologetic-anybody can see that. You
have declared In public and to report.
ers that I was drunk when I yaccinat ..
ed children at your school. Now you
Corne here and you tall to repeat your
charges and refuse to retract w h a t y ou
have said."
To this taunt Knell was dumb, txcept to remark that he could push th Is
thing if h. wanted to, and hinted that
I( the parents o( the cblldn!n were
there they would upbold his contention.

P rincipal Knell owes It to the people
of Bul'falo to explain why he doesn't
want to push the charges he made so
explicitly and In public. It political
influence has been used to gag him. or
he has bet1n threatened with the 1088 ot
his position I( he Insists on telling the
truth, the public should know It. On
the other hand. If the two physicians
baye been falsely accused they a r e entitled to a complete exonera tiOD f rom
the man ","ho made the charges.
Why were the parents and the tea.ch-,
era of the school not summoned as wit·
nesses? To an outsider this "'hole
business appears to have been one of
Intimidation, cowardice and whitewash
ot one ot the most serious charges
made agalnst the Department ot Health
In many years.

In the nature of a report, and no action waa taken on It by the CouDcllmen, It 11'8.8 thought to be the IIrsl
step toward agitation on the lubjoel.
Col, Ward estimated that the crematory could be built for $17,500 and could
be malntalDed by a superintendent and
one laborer, This would dlopose of tb.
problem of a lack of ground tor burial
purposes and would reduce the coat

"The objections to burial are both

THE SUB-COMMITTEE MEMBERS FAILED TO INVESTIGATE SEVERAL OF THE CONDITIONS EXPOSED.

'Yes, we dirt, Soma parts of the

"Do you kno".- how much ground
there 13 a\"allable for graves now?"
"Ther. Is quite a plot behind the
keepE"r's hou~e. where graves arc now
being dug. Then lhere Is more room
atThis
the side."
de.criptlon of the ground that
remains apparently unused conforms
with a Btatement published In The
Enquirer a week ago,
" Did you see 0. grave that had ro-'
cently been put do\yn In the roadway
of the cemetery, tor want of a better
pla&lt;.'e?"
"Yes. That w!ll probably be moved."
"Do you know what the condition of
the ground at the side Is, or that the
keeper claim. It Is M hard that It Is
almost Impos.!hle to dig In It?"
What He Doesn't Know.
"No. I don·t know anything about
that. I know that there weren't any
rough boxes exposed, or anything ot
that 80rt."
"The Enquirer, has never said thAt
there were. Mr. Howard. What It did
sny was thnt people of the nell:'bborhood have claimed thnt they have seen
them."
As a matter ot fact It ,Is probable
that had any parts of rough boxes been
exposfd the present keeper, who to
all appearances Is a. competent man,
would hll ve covered them up before

Third-That the depth of the soil

Fourth-What the reason is for
the "objectlons" 0 fthe people of the
neighborhood to the present location of the cemetery, and whether or
not these objections ho.ve any true
foundation.
Fifth-Whether or not the known
shallowness of
a number of the
graves will, in the nea.r future, as

~ STENCH
i{ealth Department Receives
Its First Protest Against
Odor of Drying
Grain.
When th e ,,'ell. elevator conflagration had been controlled by the Fire
Department a serious condition confronted the Health Department, that
of remoylhg the grain in the blnB
whiCh, It It had remaIned where It was
fol' nny length of ttme, would create a.
stench that would make the entire city
ill.
Health ("'ommh!I.~loner Greene a.t once
adopted drastic measur""~ notified
th~ Toledo flah'age Company, which
had con traeted to remove the ~raln, to
get It out ot the city with all possible dispatch. Since the fI.e hundreds
ot men have been at work night and
day removIng the grain.
UntU yesterday there wasn't any
complaint concerning a. stench from
the grain. N&lt;&gt;w a complaint has been
received trom a well-known resident in
the vlclnlt}' of Sloan's Malt House In
Carroll Street, near Van RensS'aler,
where a large quantity of the grain Is
being dried.
"Thle complaint has been Investigated
by our department/' said Dr. Greene
yesterda.y, "and we find that the grain
does give a slight odor about an hour
every day. This can hardly b. avoided for the present. I think that under
the clrcum.tances the Health Department has done well. Immedla.tely following the fire, and with the memory
of past pxperlences with decaying
grain, I notified the manager of the
Toledo Sah'age Company that the city
would not permit any tardiness. That
company Is handl!ng
the
matter
better than the Health Department
COUld. Hunored~ or men nre working
day and n!ght shipping tbe grain by
boat and rail out of the city. Four
malthouqps are drying the grain. At
Sloan's thore I. a small quantity of It.
but the odol' III that vicinitY ts not
E?nough to ":orry about and certainly
doe. not endanger the health of the
commun!ly In the .lIgbtest degreee. I
hAve exacted a promise from the manager ot the Toledo Salvage Company
that he will have all the grain rem/'wed by June 1st,"

ALLEG_-'.TIOXS OF COACHING.
In appointing Mrs, Goodwin to the
p08lt1on Health Commissioner Greene
took her' name from the eligible list presented to him by the former Civil Ser~
vice Commission, but shortly after she
had been appointed It came to the attention of the Common Council that
Dr, Chauncey Pelton Smith ot the old
commission had conducted the examination of app1icants for the eligible list
tor this posltion,and It was then alleoed
that he had coached Mrs. G1Jodwyn
and had theretore aided in securing tor
her the tlrst place on the list.
Early In the present year, or just
after Mr!!. Goodwyn was appointed to
the position which she st111 continues to
hold It came to the attention ot the
Com'mon Council that Dr. Smith had
exerted himself In ta vor ot l\frs. Goodwyn, and consequently Ald. John ~Ia.r­

Immediately. The Emergency Hospital
has many calls ot this kind and whfOn
the ambulance arrives on the scene the
Injured person has either gone home or retuses to go to the hospital. The result Ja
that the ambulance has had a run tor

Shortly after 10 o'clock last night a call
came tn the Emt'rgency Hospital. The
person at the 'phone said that the ambuJance was wanted at Clinton and Adam
streets, as a boy had been serJouAly Injur(&gt;d. The ambulance made a tast run

From another reliable source It
~was learned that the Superintendent
told the principal that unless he could
prove the charges he would be suspend-

ed until the matter Is eleared up.
Supt. Emerson

wa~

asked what more-

he would do and he .ald.
"I have tOld principal Knell t1I get the

affldavlt~ and after he has secured
them I will present them to Dr. Greene.

Further than that I will do nothing.
Prot. Knell has made the charges and
it if' his place to prove them."
It has

been rumored that

Doctors

Heath and May are considering the
filing of suits tor damages against
Prot. Knell for the detamat\on ot theIr

characters. The doctor~ nor Dr. Greene
would not confirm or deny thIs report.

Last week

given a.

when Prot. Knell

against the doctors he acted as though
he Was willing to back down. A time
was Il'et by Dr. Greene for the hear-

Ing ot the charges, but at tbe appointed time Prot. Knell tailed to appear

E'arty. Seve-ral other members ot the
Principa.ls' Association were there and
toward the end or the session Prot.
Knell appeared. He was asked about

the charges and replied that he had
nothing to say. Then Dr. Heath spoke
to him In most scathing terms, but the
protessor dId not answer.
Since then, however. he has changed
his tactics and has begun the gatherIng
or affidavits, ot course. dOing so on

Greene, that tliE'S carry plagues on

MENACE IN BUFF.U.O.

But'talo Is not a rival ot New Jersey
for m05quttoe~, but mosquitoes are
born here and the Department of
Health regards them as a menace to
the public health. Housekeepers are
not aware ordInarily of' the many
place~ In which mosquitoes can breed.
The water best suited tor a breeding
plnce Is stagnant, regardless of quantity.
llosqultoes breed In pools.
marshes, rain barrels, cisterns, weUs,
ce!,f:;poois, water tanks, fire buckets,
hoUow tree stumps, post boles, and In
an Innumerable variety or places
",-here rain wllter can collect, such as
gutter~. eavestrough!, pitcher plant~,
hoJlow8 ot appl£"s. broken bottles. to~
mato cans and flower vases.
RCLES TO OBSERVE.

Here are some of the rules which Dr.
Greene would
l1ke housewives to
memorize and put fnto practice:
Put ~('reefl8 on an doors'and wfndows.
Put tine nf-tUnc O\'er cisterns, wells and
tanks ot water, reQuired tor every.day

:Ald. Martln held the center of th e
alage at the Aldermanic meeting yesterday.
It was one ot the most
ta.lkatlve sessions held by the Board.
In the rear of the chamber were several High School girls and Ald. Martin's vigorous

outburst~

kept them in

rare good humor. Inspired by the
cra.clous looks of the fair sex. Ald.
Martin could not contain himself, and
had the fioor whenever an opportunl ty
otrered. Ald. Huster and Ald. Martin
mixed it up several Urnes and then was
pandemonium at times during the ses8ion.
When Ald. Moest of the InvestigatIng Committee reported in the case of
'Mrs. Goodwyn, about whose examination by the Civil Service Commission
for the omce ot Assistant Health Inspector ot Mercantile Establishments,
there has been BO much controversy.
that neither the committee nor the
!Aldermen bad any right to review the
Bctlons or the Civil Service Commissioners, Ald. r..!artin, who has been reepon81ble tor holding up Mrs. Goodwyn's pay warrant, got the floor for
th.. lItt1eth time.
GALLANT MR.

~IARTIN.

"I never wanted to engage In a fight
",Ith .. lady," said Ald. Martin. graciously bowing to the High School girls,
"but I must Bay that the examinaUon
under which Mrs. Goodwyn was ap·
poInted was contemptible."
Alter some lively but Irrelevant r epartee It was finally decided by a vote
to 22 to 1, Ald. Martin alone being recorded In the negative, to adopt the
report ot the committee.
Ald. Martin and Ald. Adam clashed
n &amp; resolution offered by the form er,
that the Board ot Public Works cau se
to be removed all structures on the
east aide ot 7th Street from Maryland
to Hudson streets. Ald. Martin wanted the resolution adopted without a
reference. Ald. Adam amended that It
'ha.ve a reference. The original m otion
prevailed. Then Ald. Adam turther
amended that all obstructions on the
be removed. Ald. MarUn vlgoropposed this. He spoke at least
a dozen times and finally s ucceedIn beating Ald. Adam'. amendment.

At this point In the proceedings the
following was read by the cle rk :
"By Ald. Martin: Resolved. That It

CHAMBER IN

AN llPROAR.

Evel"ybody laughed, the school girls
clggled, and the chamber "-as In an
uproar.
"I would like to ask the clerk It any
n&amp;me is tJtgned to that resolution:' said
MarUn .
. 15." replied Clerk Susdort.
on-ered that ," .ald Ald.
think I know wh e'!"e It came
",as olfere4i'!1y one. of those

cunning gentlemen," and he glanced
In the dlrecllon of Ald. Su11lvan.
Invitation. to review the annual Inopectlon ot the Police Department at
the Front ntxt Saturday at 2 o'clock,
Rnd the G. A . R. parade In front of the
City H:tll on Memorial Day were received and accepted.
Commlsslener Ward requ ested that
he be directed to contract with Frederick W. Knlckenburg for making repairs to roadways and bridges, from
the date ot the contract to Jun e 30,
1903. Mr. Knlckenburg Is the lowest
bidder. The request was reterred to the
Committee on Bridge •.
CONFLICT OF DATE!.

Commissioner Ward called tbe attention of the board to the tact that the
Carl Strauss Conce rt Company ot New
York had secured the u se ot Concert
Hall on Jun e 26th and 27th. respectively, the days arranged for hol ding the
High School commencement exercises.
His comm un ication was reterred to the
Committee on Schools. together with
the Suporlntendent ot Education.
When the clerk read the action taken
by the Council, substituting the Warner-Quinlan Company for the German
Rock Company In th e matter of the
contract tor asphalt repairs, Ald. McEachern moved that the Aldermen r eenact their tormer action.
"r amend that we concur In the action of the upper bouse," said Ald.
Harp. "The Warner-Quinlan Company
has conclusively proven that It Is the
lowest responsible bidder."
Ald. Harp's amendment was lost "nd
Ald. McEachern's motion prevailed by
a vole ot 20 t o 11, some of the Aldermen
decllnln.: to vote.

upon Dr. May objected. and Insisted
that one piece was sufficIent. Her story

:Mlss Jo~ephlne Walker, teacher, deposed tha.t Dr" Heath smoked cigar-

ette. In the hall as the children were

under the Influence ot some drug. S&lt;'veral parenu. or pupils, he states, complained to him that th" physicians were
drunk; that he telephoned thl. Intormatlon to th" Health Department.

Under the most tavorable cIrcu m .
stances the wIsdom ot the compulsory
vacclnatlon at children at the school.
Is questlonsl'le. In thIs count ry the
parents are supposed to be supreme as
to what shall or shall not be done in
such cases. The people, as a whoJe,
have not been incl1ned, however, to
Interpose their legal or constltutlon",l
rIghts, beca·. se they belleve In vacclna·

He RaJd that he represented the Equit-

ale Investment Company, ,~,.. hich owns
170 acres adjoining the land otrereel for

.ale. He said that thl. property would
be greatly depreciated.
"There appears to be no earthly
necef=:iity tor a. new pe-~t house," said
:\Ofr. Jones. "The only persons advocat~
Ing It are those who de.lre to sell th_

land."

"It Is not a pest house," said Mr.
Fisher. "That Is a misnomer. It Is
propo"'d to erect a muniCipal hospital

and not a pest house."

I Frank Hammond and John N. Prevost or the Hyde Park Land Company
also c;poke tn opposition ttl the- city

They said that

Ald. Harp made a redhot speech

SchneIder of the Health Departmen t
this morning notlfled Supt. Bull or D r .

Upon Dr. Dresser being located. the

up betore the judg£"s of the Municipa l
Court to answer to a charge ot vlolaUon ot the la,,·. When a person is

paId that it Is also contrary to law to

P/iEVENTIVE MEDICINE,

PROBABLY WON'T

No action was taken by the Alder~
manlc Committee on Sanitary :Meas·
ures last night regardIng the locatlon
of the p!'opo~ed new Pest~house, but
from the discus~lon held it ,,'as ap·
parent tha.t the site mentioned In the
25th '\Val'd will not be taken.
Residents, property owners and tax
contrIbutors from the 25th and 18th
wards were once more arrayed agatnst
each other at the hearing. The 18th
\Yard has the Pest-hou!'=e at the pres·
ent time, and the residents or that
ward are not the least bashful In coming torward and registering their protests against the retention ot the pestnouse In their ward.
Likewise the
reslden ts and owners at property In
the 25th ""'ard are unanimous in their
Sisapproval ot a movement looking tothe purchase ot a site tor the Quaran~
tine HOfl:pital there.
Both Sides had orators betore last
night's committee meeting, over which
Ald. John Martin presided. and they
were heard at great length-the 18th
"'arders a~ to why the Pe!:\t-house
should be moved ou t ot their v.·ard, and
the 25th Warders as to why the Institution should not be located In their
baIliwIck.
William Smith, superintendent ot the
John R. Keln Mfg. Company. was the
t\rst speaker to be beard In opposition
to the purchasing ot a site in the 25th
""Pard. He said that a black eye would
be dealt the Kensington DIstrict were
a Pest-house to be located then-ln, He
presented the usual number ot arguments against the presenre of a Pest·
house In a residential locality.
The second sneaker was well along
with hIs protest' when AId, John Martin
enquired:
"WIII you be kind enough to give the
.!Qmmittee your name?"
"John )lartin, was the response.
"John ~Iartln?" said the Alderman.
"Yes, sir," wa~ the reply.
HThen I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Marlin,"' said Ald. John ~larlln. the Incl1ent provoking much merriment.
Mr. ).!artln said that he had owned
property In the Kensington district for
many years Elnd knew that the ,"alue of
It would be greatly depreciated were a
Peot·house to be placed In the district.
Gottfried Wende said that he was
present as a rE'presentaU,~e ot the
Northeast Butralo BUfilness ].!en's A~so·
elation. He said that his association
was unanImously tn favor ot having the
pf'sthouse kept on its present site, He
beUeved that a l1ne, new bulldlnlT preet·
cd on this site. together with an em ..
belIlshment ot the grounds, wouJd
great1&gt;~ improve matter~.
The pre~ent
site. he fiCatd, was adequate In every re~
spect. the only kick beIng against the
old building now there.
"Keep thf" Pest~hou~e where it i!l,"
eald l\Ir, "'Tende. "erect a sanitary
bulldlng, layout nice drives and ""alk~,
put In some attractive shrubS and call
It a hospital and then everything will
be all right. Nothing Is to be gained
by moving away from thIs district. To
move the Quara.ntlne Ho~p1tal from the
Rite would be to the advantagl? ot n.
tew and the dlsadYantage of the
II

many,"
"Did you ever say that I ,VIlS boost-

ing this thing In order to make something out of it ?. enquired Ald. Zoeller
ot the l~th Ward. addre,&gt;lng his question to l\Ir. ,,"ende .
HI dl1n't put It quite as strong as
that" .ald Mr. Wende. "What I did
Fay.' however, was that It was your
personal interest that ha~ prompted
you to act In this matter."
Here .Ald. ZoE'lIer and ::'tlr. Wende ex~
changed compliment~, "tVende's parting
shot ("omlng tn these words :
"Come right down to It. gentlemen.
zoeller has got a worse Pest-house in
that vlclnl~.y himself that Is the real
Pe!:\t-hom~e.

committee,
Then a host of 18th "Tarders, mOlt
of whom have been heard betore on the
subject, entered their protests against
the r~tention of the Quarantine Hospl...
tal In their ward.
The committee arri\'ed at no dl'!'cl!lon
in the matter last night. In fact the
~roblem ~eems to be as tar from solution as It has been tor month~ past. ex,
(',.pt that It now !'lIeems certain that no
further pf'tort wlll be made to put the

had not been vacci n ated. Y et, o n the

who has been properly vaccinated has
ever rontracted the dIsease. l\ly p ersonal opinion as to the e tHcacy or the

TOUS C03IBINE.

Editor of The Butralo Cour!er:
I read In your valuable paper an srtlcle about the forming of .. milk trust
In Butra!o. Wbat I would like to know
Is. can such a trust be formed In sptte
of the laws of the State of New York.
forblddtng the formtng and opera.tlng
ot such trusts? Where are our law
officers whose duty !t Is to enforce obedfance to OUr Jaws? Or are Our poor
"eople on Iy su bjected to the enforce_
ment of laws and are the rlcb exempted
therefrom; espectally When they can
coast with the Possession of a capital
of $3.000.000, as Is the case !n tbls milk
trust all'alr.
The clUzens of Buffalo should well
cons,der and think about this milk
trust business. The trust aim. to do
away with competition. It this ts accomplished and If It has complete control of the mllk business In Butrato
then It will raise the price of mllk t~
ten cents a qUH.rt. Ot Course. the promoters of thts undertak!ng deny this
now ,but What does that amount to?
VI'lII the milk trust be any better tha~
other trusts, tor instance. the meat
trust. It Is said the person Who wlll
furnish the $3.000,000 Is a New York
man. WeI!. how Is It In New York
now? Can the poor people pay the
price of fresh mllk since a syndtcate
controls the milk trade there? They
cannot. They have to be contented
with substttutes. So tar, our working
men have been able to furnlsb tbelr
families with fresh milk .and the moth-

NEW HOSPITAL BADLY NEEDED,

The city. as many times pointed out
by tormer Health Commissioner Wende
and by his successor, the present Comlntssloner. Dr. Greene, Is sorely In need
of a new Quarantine hospital and the
question ot a site It tlnally put oyer
untl! winter In order that the Statp
Legislature may legalize tbe taking ot
five or more acres ot the town farm
property tor thIs purpose, cannot and
wll! not be delayed any longer than this
for the present Common Councll will b~
Intact tor another year and a halt and
Its members will see to It that the matt~r I. tln a lly acted upon with all hast ..
just as SOon a.c:; the Legislature c~n~
venes early In January.
But there now seems to be no Que~­
tlon but tbat the Aldermanic Commit,
tee on Sanitary Measures will go on
record as opposed to the site of the
present hospital as that tor th e propo.qed new hospital, and in fnvor ot
placing the new structure upon the
town farm prOPE' rty.

"It tbe Common Council declares that

said Aid, Martin last night, "then the

Measures, ot which Ald. Jobn Martin
Is chairman, and In whlcb about every
phase ot the pest-house question
has bee-n gone over Ume and again unt1I there Is no longer anytblng new to
be !rained by the granting of further
hearlng$, it seoems to be the consensus
of opinion about the City Hall that the
Committee will sooner or later report
to the Aldermen that the proposed Municipal Hospital tor the treatment and
care ot contagious diseases should be
located On a portion ot the town farm
and that the present site In East Ferry
Street should be abandoned beeause ot
Its being unsanitary and wholly untlt
as a site tor a hospital.
The Committee on Sanitary Measures, it Is understood, has not caucused on the question, but In the past tew
days a Courier reporter has talked with
Individual members of the committee,
Including Chairman Martin, and they
are unanimous In the opinion that the
prescnt site ehould be abandoned becnuse at its general unsultableness and
that. In view ot the very strong opposition which Is bound to spring up
against the proposed establlsbment of
the bospltal In some other ward, the
cIty should arrange to procure five or
mare acres at the town tarm property
and there locate the proposed new hospital.

DIRECT BEARING ON

Doctors Who Vaccinated the

Ory Points."
This is the designating Inscription on
the chief supply of "acclne points used
by the Buffalo Board of Health. They
are bought in the city drug stores and I
cost $1 each.
A box contains ten
points. The directions for using also,
appear on the box and read as follows:
"Loosen point by side motion before
removing it from parafftne pocket.
Scarify with point and work the lymph
well In. Draw as IItlie blood as possible and use no water. Leave arm exposed until dry."
SIG:\IFIC.o\.!\'CE

.4.PI'.'REXT.

There Is nothing extraordinarily slg!ll3ftcant In lhe foregoing, when conRldered apart from other stat~ments, but
when considered In conjunction with
the statements of doctors PreiSS nnd l
Banta. as
pubURhed
In yesterday's
Courier. the Inscription on the box of
vac&lt;'ine poin ts has the deepest ~Jgnt-I
tlcance and a direct bearing on the
Sturde,"ant case.
Dr. Pre I. . .ald (and Dr. Banta agreed I
'wlth him) that In any public schoo)- 1

Fchool building located where school I
3S I., the air is charged with ba&lt;.III. I
and so much SO that underclothing
would. In a few days, contain numberless di~ea6e germs. rendering it dangerous for a child to be vaccinated until the underclotbing had been changed
and the arm thoroughly bathed. If the
directions on the box, as abo"e quoted,
were followed by the vaccinating phy£Olcian. the arm is scarified until blood
appears and then left exposed until
dry : this in a room which. accordl,ug
to the theory of Drs. Preiss and Banta.
is ('harge-d with' microbe~. Dr. Banta
said when intE'r\'iewed that he dId not
believe that pneumonia proceeded from
a cold, but from pneumococlc microbt'-s.
Dr, Edward Clar~, Acting Health
CI,mmh:::o-loner. admit~ tha.t the directions above quoted are adhered to and
that the Boarel of Health prefer~ the
"aceint': from "-ashington to that preptlred by other manutacturlng chern·
lstF. because bpuer r('~ult~ have been
obtained thprc-from, but that oC'('a~lon­
ally the other vaccine has be~n used
In emprgencies.
THROlGH PARE:\,TS' :\E(;LECT.

Dr. Clark further say. that If chll,
dren are vaccinAted tn the sc-hooi!:l it Is
because thE' pare-nts have neglectp.(J to
have It done at home, but that a chlhi
could ohject to being vaccinated at
~chool and that there is no law to COtllpE'l subml~slon. In such caPe. he ~ays
it would hE' the duty ot the tea('her in
cha rgp to order the child tram the
building- with In.tructlon. not to RP'
peur In the Sl'huol again until properly
"\"8('ciDated. He say~ that phy~lclans
who Are sent out under instructions
trum the Board ot Health. would much
preter that part!nts should engage their
own phyeician.
When a$ked whether be thought a
hou!'l"e to houge vacdnatlon by dl!'otrict
physicians. would be prptera ble to the
pre~€'nt ~yste-m. he said that he did not
becau~e it would be much more ex-

Dr. ('lark superintended most of the

Four  16” x 10” (40.6 cm x 25.4 cm) “scrapbooks” with a total of 789 pages of articles from Buffalo, Western New York and other newspapers were discovered in the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection at the Health Sciences Library.  The time period covered is October 31, 1901 through June 14, 1906.  The subject matter runs the gamut from public health issues such as disease outbreaks in the city and elsewhere, sewage, water, food and milk purity, tenements and animal control to Buffalo and area politics.  There are numerous images and cartoons as well.  These articles were apparently compiled by a “clipping service,” in Buffalo.&#13;
&#13;
The other interesting aspect of this collection is the fact that Buffalo had so many newspapers at that time. The articles were taken from papers including the News, the Courier, the Enquirer, the Times, the Review and the Express. There are also clippings from Buffalo’s German language newspapers.  Use of the clipping collection is now available through four acid-free, bound paper copies.&#13;

"There Is no danger at an epIdemIc
of tho rabies at present," saId Health
Commlosloner Walter D . Greene thIs i
m orning. Dr. Greene has called upon (
the Police Department to entorce that
provlslon at the ordinances which requIres the muzzling ot all d&lt;fgs and the I
police nav~ gIven notice that owners
of unmuzzled dogs wlll be arreoted and
fined.
"This 8tep was taken merely as a
precautlonary measure," says Dr.
Greene. "There Is no epidemIc of
rabIes and we do not anticipate that
tMre wlll be ooe but I belleYe In being
on the safp side and certainly It we
have all the dogs muzzled, even If they
do bacome mad, they will be prevented
from bitiny any person or any other
dog,"
"It would not take much to start an
epIdemIc In a large city like thIs wIth
dogs runnIng all around at theIr will.
The other day a dog went mad at Cold
SprIng. He bIt another dog and that
dog bit two others. Fortunately we
have caught all the dogs and haye
kllled three ot them. We have the
fou rth one, but as the dog that bIt hIm
dId not draw blood we wllJ let hIm lIve.
You can see," however, how easy It
would be tor an epIdemIc to be .tarted.
There 15 no reason why we should have
dogs running at large around the clty,
Every other large city In the country
requires that the dogs be allowed to
go about the streets only at the end
ot a cbain."
"Whert Is the greatest danger trom
the rabi es 1" he was asked.

to prove it In court.
It wa..;. staten yesterday by Dr

A war against mos uitos is to b e

Greene Is to croSS lances with the
pesky insects and make an attempt to

Petroleum is to be the weapon ot
wartare used by the Health Department. The olly substance Is to b e

the mosquitoes and It Is thought that
they wllJ be drIven (rom the cI ty without m u ch trouble. It Is too late to be..tn the work now, as the breeding time
of the mosquitos Is almost pa sed.
Health Commissioner Greene is in
communication with the Depa rtmf"nt ot
Agriculture at Washington, ask Ing t or
all the Intormatlon at the dIsposal ot
the department on th e breedIng ot moSq uitos. LIKE SOFT WAT E R .

"The copious amount of ratn has

However, their pleadings and even
threats are of no avail. Health Commissioner Greene stands fi rm In his pOSition
that every child must be vaccinated In

having the children " acclnaled is to prevent any chance at t he sp read at dlsea~.
Some of the par(&gt;nts say they will keep

Dr. Greene's ultimatum to parents of this
disposLtion Is In substance:
"It you do not consent to the vaccination 0°! your child, the child will not be
admitted to the public schools. You wlll
th (&gt;n have to send the ch ild to a privatt'

All the D epartment r equires is that the

The reason t ha t the bn th houses
must clo~e Is thut the co:11 Is used
to he-at
thp
water , antI
without
hot wuter during the cold weathe r
It
ig
us eless
to
keep
the
bath
hom~e~ opE"n. Dr. Greene said th a t
09
~oon as the coat suppl}· stopped the
bath housE'S would ha \'E' to be closed,
and the poor people who for years have
depended upon the city's charity in this
resp{'ct would ha \'e to find some meons
of thpir own to keep themselves ('lean
or el:;E' go without bathing until next
summpr. Already within the last lew
days the bath houses have been ('lOBed
down for half days at a time on aCcount. of the shortness of the coa r sup-

ply.

" ' ILL AFFECT TnOrSA:XD~ .

An Ide-a of the InC'onvenience, nnd
eVE'n distress which the closing down
of th£' bath houses will entail , is shown
In the numbe1' of people who h av e
Ipllrned to take advan tage of the-se
plnC'NL Last month. 6,743 baths were
ta ken at Bnth No. I, and a t No.2 , 10.462 were tal&lt;en. The people 'who go to
thesE" b:tths are those who, of co urse,
hu\'e no baths in thpir own homes nnd
who ronsE'Quently wtll have to tmpro"is€" some means of keeping clean or do
without C'iE"anllness. Both bath house s
are loc(1te-d In thi c kly settled poor districts. The bath houses ar!" ope-rated as
a PI'ot('('tion for the pubHC' hea lth.
"Ce l·t ainly it will be too bad If we
ha\'e to ('lo~e down th(' bath hous ps,"
~nld Dr. Greene.
"But It looks as It
we ,,-Ill hay€" to do It. 'Ye ar€' being
~uppll('d with ('onl by the- ton now, and
h~\.v(' hnrdly enough on h and to k eep

keep the city free from contagious
epidemics by a system or sanita.tIon
which he put into practice. Four
months ago emallpox broke out in the
city and increased with alarming rap- r

city had to appropriate large emergency funds and a corps of physicians
was employed to institute a wholesale

been made to procure a suitable site tn some

C. F. Standnrd and John R. Earle,
state mil k inspectors, spent two hours
yesterday afternoon crou ched behind
a r e frigerator in A ltman's grocery
sto re a t No. 54 Commercia l street, lying in wa it tor William H . Duttweilcr
a mH l&lt;.dealer at No. 54 Com merciai
street. They fi nally go t Du ltweiler and
their evidence too, but in s uch a torJ11
lha t they won't be able to use it if
th ey ti'Y to convict D uttweiler of selling adulle rated mi lk.
The two offi cers had been after Dutt",,'cHer for some time for selling a dult era ted m ilk. They knew thal Altman
was one of his customers. Yesterday
they went to the grocery and told Altm a n tha t Duttweller h ad been selHng
a du lterated milk and that they wanted
to ca t ch him.
"Tha t's it, is it?" replied Altman,
indignant to think th at he had been
taken in by Duttweiler. "Well, he'll be
In here in a little whi le. He puts the
milk in t hat refrigerator bac k there."
The two officers couJdn't find any
place to secrete themselves except behind th e refrigerator, so t h ey crept in
among the cobwebs an d p roceeded to
make themse lves as comfortable as possible. 1'hey were in tba t c l'arnped up
pos ition for a bout an bour before either spoke.
"'Vhat time did yo u say he came?"
asked Sta ndard.
"He ought to be here now," said Altman.
The officers began to fear that Dultweiler had been tipped off to t h eir presence in the store. and would try to
a,'oid them. They waited until after
5 o'clock Then th ey concluded that
Duttweiler had cut Altman from his
cailing lis t. Just as t hey were going
out the door Duttwe l1 er's hor~e and
wagon s topped in front of the store, and
Dutt weiler ran in with two gallon cans
ftlled with milk.
"That' s him nmy," wh ispered Altman
to the officers.
They knew that much. fo r the y had
seen Duttweiler many times before.
Duttweiler hurri ed back to t he refrigerator and proceeded to pu t the cont e nts of one can into a big can inside
th e refrigerator.
"Just a minute, " said Earle to Dull·
w eiler. "V\'e want to sample that stutt:
before you put it in th ere. and find out
just how much of it is wate r."
"Oh you do. do YOII."
"Ye~, we do, a nd we want It quicI~.. "
They got it. Dutt,,-eiler picked up Uie
filled can and poured the conte nts over
t he t\\ 0 officers. The ha lf-filled ra n he
tossed out the rear window. T h en there
was a fight. The floor was strewn ,,'Ith
milk, water, cans, Inspectors, cannpJ
fruit a nd grocery baskets.
The inspectors fought t heir way out to the
street wIth DUltweiler. The n Pa trolman
Philip Miller of the tlrst preci nct csme
along. He stopped the tlgh t and the
ml1l&lt; inspectors told what started tbe
trouble. Duttweiler was taken to po·
lice station )lo. '1. The milk inspectors
went with him. They had Intended to
prefer a charge of seiling ad ultera ted
ml1k against him, but n e ither could
squeeze enough m ilk out of his clothes
to pro"e whether or n .1 twas adulter:
ated. Hon'ever, Duttwe lle r was charg
eel with res isting state officcrs.

unUI a short time ago with hls wife at
Marilla. Last May be qua rreled \"lolentlr
with her. Be then came to Ruttalo and,
h is daughter took him to her home til
IiYe . •4t that time the old man had Ill))
1n m oney, the sa"ings of a lIteUme,
w hich he gave to hIs daughter to keep
for him. He 11\'00 on happily enough (or
about a month, when he said he bad be·
come rather tired of the place a nd decided
t o lea,·e. His daughter gR\'e him the
money a nd h e went away. Early In Jun"
l1e returned and again gave his dau ghter
,lOll, he having spent ;""00. She took lb.
money a nd they both signed an a greement
whereby she was to clothe and board hlm
and a llow him $1.50 a month for spendin,
m oney.
ThIs a rrangement seemed not to satisfr
t he old man. About two weeks la ter he
became qu arrelsome and demanded h1J
m onoy back. His daugh ter, thinking It
w ould not be for the best considering his
advanced age, refused to relinquish her
hold on the fund. From then on be became moody and sUent and day after day
b e would sit and brood a ver this savin.C'S
which were withheld fr om him. F lnaJly
b e hit upon a plan whereby he tlIought
t o gain possession of i t.
lie called h15
daughter to bim one day and made ber
enter into another agreement whereby i t
she were to die before him he would !'tgain the money, but if he died first !he
was to retain possession of it. Then It .
claimed that the fiendi sh idea. of getting
h is daughter out of the way so as to ret
h is money entered his head. He wa tched
h is chance nnd when he was unobsen·et!
It is claimed, he emptled a Ql!a ntitr ot
a rsenic into a barrel of flou r. "he ntn
day the daughter baked brpad and when
it was se rved a t the table It was observed
t hat th e old man refused to ea t any of 11

tha t they would not ea t th e bread.
It ~"as taken to a c he mist who examined

EFFECT.

Mrs. ,\'\ary Baker G. Eddy
Directs Her Foilowers
in Christian Science to
Refrain from Treating
Any Infectious Case.

H

EALTH Commissioner Waller D.
Greene. City Bacteriologist W. G.
Bissell and Sanitary Inspec tor
G. W. Diebold this morntng took samples of the water of Lake Erie at three
pOints, 1n on endeavor to ascertain its
relative purity. For the past three or
tour months the wa t er consumed In
Buffalo has not been up to the standard or previous year. . and tbe health
officials are now trying to discover the
cause or tbe existing state or affairs.
The city o/flclais. with a party or
newspaper men, went aboard the pollce patroi boat Governor Morton. Capt.
Prltcha"d of the harbor pollce in command. and the run to a point opposite
Stony Point was m a d e in good time.
Here Dr. Bissell ohtalned a bottie of
the water. It is a question with th e
bealth o/flclals as to whetller the water
in the basin at this poi!! t is rorced
out Into the current which runs past
the Inta ke station. If it should be
found that this "shore ,,"wage" is
taken into the city water mains. existIng unsatisractory conditions w111 he
exnlalned.
The s econd sample was secured in the
Emerald Channel. 1.200 feet northeast
of the dummy llghtboase. There was
quite a sea on at the time. but Dr. Bis sel! secured bls Rample despite the
pitching and tossing or the boat
The next place visited was the Intake
station. The current at this polnt was
a revelation to th ose a hoard the hoat.
The craft was run bplow the Intake
pipe and the sample obtained ju.t below the hufldlng.
The pollce hoat Ihen steamed down
town to the e nd nf t he harbor, where
the party disemha.·ked. Every rnre
was exercised by Dr. Bissell in g~ttlng
the samples. The rpport on these samples will be made ,cnown in a week.
The water w1l1 be :'u bjected to a c'hamIcnl examination by Dr. H1I1 and to 'he
bacterioioglcal by Dr. Bissell.
Some time ago it was sugge.ted that
a new Intake pipe be placed near the
dummy lighthouse, which would necpssitate the extension or the old pipe
line a distance ot R.bo ut a mlle. A new
pumping station would h a ve to be
huflt. the tota l expenditure to be In the
neighborhood or $500.000. This mo oted
improvement is now in a somnolent
state. but should the result of tod ay's
,,·ork show that the oid Inta ke pipe is
so situated that "shore" contamination Is a result. the proposition wfli un·
doubtedly assume a more tangible
t form.
If th. contaminated water or Stony
P oint now mingle ,,'I th the city drink·
ing' water a serious m enace to the
hpal t h of Buffalonians will have been
discovered. In the n ear future the Steel
P lan t will run a sewer do,,,n to this
basin with the result th at the con·
t amlnatlon wl1/ be greater than It is at
present.
It Is beHeved hy the h ealth otHciais
that the pre"aIHng h igh winds this
year may have h ad mu ch to do with
the condition or the ",ater. hut the
chemical and bacteriological examlnatiun w1l1 tel! the story.

Mr. Kinter says that the request will
be sacredly observed , as wiU an y hint
or sugg~stion comlng from Mrs. Eddy.
and in this his assoc iales and fellowbelievers COincide.
"The request to obstaln from treating
the cases specified by Mrs. Eddy wfI!
be scrupulously obeyed." said Mr. Kin ter, "even though the wording of the
paragraph is neithe r Imperative nor obltgatory."
The local Chrlstirln Scientists h ave.
ever since 1898. in BufTa lo. strictly conformed with the Joc!).i henlth ordinance!
and reported all contagious cases wh iC h
they have been caUed upon to treat.
The healers, howev r. do n ot discuss
th e philosophy of Mrs. Eddy's requ est
as compared with th e teachings or the
text book on SCience a nd health. All
qu estions along this line are r eferred
to W. D. Mo('rackan, the chief of the

aga Ins t the new hos pital being erected
on the p resent s ite In East Ferry
S treet. He urged a ll ta xpa yers to go to
the meeting of the Board of Councilmen on Wednesday a nd protest again s t
the app roval o f the action ot the Board
o f A ldermen.
F ormer Councilman Jacob Mlssert
spoke against t he present site tor the
new hospita l and ad vocated the location of t he b uilding on the almshouse

tarm.

ChrIstopher Detleln spoke In the same
strain.
Al\'SWERS STODDAR T .

D. W. WInch este r relerred to the
time when Philip Becker promised to
remoYe the qu ara ntine h os pital trom Its
present SIte, and r eviewed the va.rlous
failures ot move ments t o secure the
remova l of tbe buildi ng. H e d enounced
th e statemen t o f Co un cilman Stoddart to the effect thtL! "he had Imrviewed citizens or the 18th Ward In the
neigh borhood of the pesthouse and had
found no one opposed to the present
site excepting a few land-grabbers" as
being untru e.
M r. Winc hester said that as the matter stood, the Co uncilmen would probably Yote by six to three t o put the
new hospital on the p resent site. an d
especially would Co un cil man Stoddar t,
who has a mayoralty bee in hIs bonne t ,
vote for the presen t s i teo The spea.ker
saId that for $150 a I}romlnent attorney
would get a b ill thro ugh the Legislature :eglslatl ng the pest bole out ot
the ward and OUt ot t h e city. But, the
speak e r suggested, he thought Ald .
Zoeller m ight Int roduce e. resolution
providing for a can terence com.m1ttee,
composed o f c ity representatives a n d
Supervisors. wIth a view towards arranging a dea l to place the new building on the A lmshouse fa rm. Mr. Win chester urged a ll Interested citizens to
atte nd the session ot the Co uncllmen on
Wednesday an d try to s ecure delay.
Mr. W inches ter said that he dId not
ad vocate any lawless or overt act, but
he wished to t ell a story ot how the
pop ula ce ot ErIe, Pa., d Isgusted over
the location of a smallpox hospital In
theIr mIdst, rose and burned the obnoxIo us building .

Dr. Edward B. Schwartz, who ran
for .State S~nator aga inst George A.
Da"Vl S, was made chairman of the meet ~
Ing and delivered the tlrst speech, denouncing the aCllon ot the Aldermen In
selecting the present site tor the n ew
hoopltal. D r. Schwart z denounced the
present site as unsanitary and uns uitablE&gt;. He referred to the time wben thE
pest house. thirty-seven years ago, was
located at ~o rth 'S treet and Roge r Ave·
nUe, near the Circle. The city grew
and tbe hospita. l was moved to Its present slle, whIch then was out In the
country. At that time the Seajaquada
Creek was sanitary; th .. Belt Line had
not been built; the taclorles and the
gasworks were not in evide nce. Now
all that Is chnnged. Scajaquada Creek
Is a tou l, polluted stream and Its badsmelling' waters running past the Quarantine HospItal would greatly reduce
the pallents' chauces or recovery. The
present sIte Is sur rounded by noisome
taclorles, which belch forth smoke and
bad odors all day. The plpework6 and

the g ashouse add theI r n uisances. So,
There were calls for Ald. Zoeller, but
the speake-r contended, the present site
was unsuitable and unsanitary In all n constituent arose a nd explained t hat
respects.
Ald. Zoeller had an engagement to take

D. W. \Vlnc.hester and Jacob !\1issert,
numbering over 100, came before the
Councilmen t o protest against the
building of the new pesthouse In their

This strenuous torm of objection accomplished, at lens t, il. fieetl ng t emporary victory, for it secured a two

approval of the resolution providing for
a joint conferEnce commi tt ee to att~mpt

Yesterday was also the day set for a

the Supervisors w ould assent to consider the proposition of locating the
new hospItal Oll th e A lmshouse farm.
'rhe motion favo ring the two weeks'
holst was carried unan imously,
CouncIlman Smith was proposed tor
chairman pro tem In the absence of
Councilma n Fleischmann, but he declined the honor and named Councilman K1Inck to serve In that capacity.
Mr. KIlM:k accepted the honor and as·
sumed the gavel.
The first matter. prIo r to the rna in
dis cussion, which made a. stir was Ald.
Zoeller's resolution p roviding tor a.
joint conference committee ot: five Aldermen and three Co uncilmen to meet
with a committee or th e Board ot SUo
pervisors with 1L yi.:!-w towards securing
a site for the proposed new Quarantine
Hospltat on the Almshouse farm.
Councilman Steul mowd the approval

polnteu out that tho Su pervlgors. at
their meetIng on Tupsjny, bad refused
to treat wllh the Common Council on
the subject and had turned down the
proposition to locate the pes thouse on

The pesthouse question had been hang·

to fUrther juggling with t he queotion.
Councilman Stou t rlenied the Imputation of politIcs and pressed his resolution for the approval of tile ac tion or

Old"Fas hloned ~Ia n h atta n T cnrm enL .

The principal OppOE-ilioll to the law as
it stAndR, they say t comes from an association of real estate owners and b uilders in
Brooklvn and from similar associationR in
Manhattan and The Bronx. The o ld Tenement house law required that t he a irshafts
bet.ween buildings or between front and
rear tenoments should be o nly t wenty-eight.
inches wide. The present law pro\yides that
air shafts sball be not less than twell'~ feet
1wide.
The law also provideb that the air 8hafr~
must open either u pon the street. or upon
I an open space in the rear. The object of
the provision is. of course, to ghre the
dwellers of t he tenements as much fl'esh
I air as possible. This is one o f the eectiol1E~
of the law thaL some of t he real estate!:-ipe&lt;'u1ators W~lnt to amend. an d it wa'S said ves1 tarday t hat the desire is to ha" e the' old
pTOviI;ion as to the s ize of a ir sha ft~ and theu
openings PUt back.
The old law pe rmitted sinks in commo n
in the interior courts o f certain teneme nts.
The present law requires water-closets o n
eac h floor . allen 1. 1t is p ropo"ed to amen d

this section, it is said, to pe rmit new bou5l{'s
to be equipped with the old oinks. Another
provision of t he present law reQuires that
e\"ery bedroom shall ha\·e a \\ indow openin g to t he outer air or into aoothe l' roo m
~bich h?-S a wiudow opening to the outer
au .. It IS proposed LO do away with th is
reqUlrement and LO do away, also wit l-:, the
requi rement which makes it neceebary, in
some cases, to alter old h OUb~S to con form
to this provision o f t he la\\·.
Senator Wagner hlU! inll'oduced a bill
to amend Chapter 334 of the Laws of 1901,
so that. houses not Over three stories high
and having accomodations for not more
lhan three families . hall not be required to
have all the benefits of sanitation pure a ir
protection against fire and t he' lUce t hat
other tenements are required t o have. The
Wagner ame ndmen t is intended to apply
only. to such buildings . or the c haracter
spec ified. as we re erected prior to the pru;sage or the present law. If t he amendment Bhoul~ paSR, it would relieve o wners
or such bUlldmgs from making alterations
to confo rm Lo the new law.
Misemblyman Da e hali introduced an
ame ndment to the law which t he friends
o,f t he present law assert wou ld make posfill.bIe the building in Bro~klyn of the !SB.me
kmd of tenements which caused the tenement-house agitation i n Manhatta n a nd

led to the pass.'ge of t he present law .

This

amendment would remove all th ree-story

ttnements. In Brooklyn , occupied by only
l..,ree Iarnlhes. from all the restrictions of
the la~\', an d have it. apply only t.o hOUl~es
occupICd by five or more lamilies

da:r~ a~o t h e l\!edlcal E xrunlner s raised
the conte ntion that the law sayS specl/l cally and clearl y t he Health Dep.u·tment Is supposed to look afte r

the law point. In favor of the ~ledlcaI

be no extra expense to the taxpayers,
and but little trouble to t h e Health D e])artment. The only two pe rsons w ho
would really be benefited are the two
l\ledIcal Examiners. It will r elieve them
ot cons1derable work, although It js conceded there are not ~o vely many cases
of sudden deaths In this city. There
are more violent deaths tban s udden

MARSHALL TEJSmfEJ\'T B I LL.
Is evillent that the Marshall Tene·
nt Bill. now under consideration at
, Albany, Is Ihe measure upon which the
enemies of tenement reform have decid·
e'} to unite. powerful Infiuences are at
work In favor of it., Unless a strong
public sentiment Is aroused in opposl·
1.I0n, It Is only too likely to pass. In·
deed, al no time since the enactment of
th~ De Forest law In 1901, has the
cause of housing reform been so endangered as at th~ present mo ment.
The Marshall blli natu rally divides
Into two parts, each r evealing a SIOIster Intent.
The first d ivision practically repeals t he present law, so far
as it affects the building of new houses
In Brooklyn; tbe second, so far as It
affects the 01(1 buildings of ManhatLan.
The existIng statute defines a tenement
house as a building occupied by three
families or more, living independently
or eacb otber, and doing tbeir own cookIng upon th~ premises. Brooklyn builders demand a new definition. making
the number of families five. Its effect
would be to remove the t hree-family or
four-family house from the scope of any
law whatever. The first lenement a ct,
passed In 1867. fixed lhe minimum of
families at " more than three." Wbat
the Brooklyn members propose, tberefore, Is to revert 10 the conditions existing previous Lo 1867.
Up to that time thero had been practically no legislation r eferring to t enem~nt houhes; consequently. If tho Mar·
shall bill should pass. none of the tene·
ment laws passed s ince 1867 would apply to tbe four-family house. so common In Brooklyn . Houses could tben
be put tiP wi b no provisions for light or
air, and without the most elementary
safeguards of sanitation. Those seclions of Manhattan wblch are llOW t he
despair of tenement-bouse reformers
would be duplicated In B rooklyn. in tbe
Bronx. and In Qu eeus. The wbolesale
application of the proposed definition
of a tenement Is evident from the fact
Ihat. of t h~ 30.000 tenement houses In
Brooklyn. about 15.000 are built for tn ~
accommodation of three or four famIlies
The Mar3hatl bill does not. bowever.
stop with this. It s a uthors include In
t heir comprehen sive scheme the four·
s tory. or eight-family. building. The
amendatory art of last yea r relaxed . to
a considerable extent. tbe provi sions
concerning th ree·story bouses. These
related chietl)' to fireproofing a nd light
and a ir requirements. Atl that was
gmnted to th ~ th ree·sto ry house last
wlntor the Brooklyn builders demand

safeguarrt tbe erection of al! new
buildings, t~~ other to ameliorate tbe
ac.tual conulttOns of t he !enpment dist Tl ets Th~ idea was. wbile t"king due

istakes of tbe past.

of 1901. .Ince it requires certain

struction of the houses. As a rom·
promise, it was decided last session to
permit tbe ventilation of Interior rooms
by cutting" Indows from one room Into
another. Tbe expense of tbls cbange
woulel not M great. but proper ty owners
are s till unsatisfied. In pla ce of t he
ventilati ng wlnrlow, the refore. the present bill pro\'ides merely for an "open·
Ing." As an ordinary door Is an "open·
ing," and as few rooms, even in New
York tenements. are built without doors.
it Is plain t hat tbe old tenements " 'ould
remain pra ctically In t heir present con·
dl tion. The De Forest law also required
the removai of the offensive sinkS and
vaults which have been a menace to tbe
city's health for so many years, and also
the building of waler closets In houses
not provlde,1 wlt.b t hem. The Marshall
bill would restore all t he ol d nuisances.
The De Forest law r equired tbe light·
Ing of dark balls in the daytime by win·
dows ; t he Marshall blli practica lly per·
mits dark halls again. The crafty spirit
witb wblch it bas been d rawn up Is
shown by the fact tbat, wbereas the law
of 1901 required t be building of windows when It was impossible "to read"
without tb o aid of artificial IIgbt. Sen·
ator Marshall would s ubstitute tbe words

We have called attention to only a few
of the detai ls of tbls retrograde bill.
It Is no secret that money was f reely
\ used to eviscerate tenement reform In
the Legislature last year; anel It Is
known t hat the present attempt to nulIi fy the law can command strong finan·

As th e law stands, a ten ement house
Is defined as a b uilding occ upied by
t hree or m ore !amllles. A b ill Introd uced at Alba ny by Senator Marsha lt
would change lhe law so as to define
tenement houses as buildings occupied
by five o r more families. B utralo has
muny buildings occupied b y three o r
four {amtlles; Brooklyn has 15,000 an d
)Ianbattan h as abou t 10.000. The paseage of the :lIars halt bill wou ld relieve
the owners of these struc l ures from
building and
sanitary restrictions
whic h are Impo sed by the tenemen thouse la.w, as well as prospective owne rs of such buildings, and the deplorab le co nditions w hich prevailed until

tene m ents, It is said, have been one of
th e most prolific ca uses of the spread of

ONE ViCTORY,

, of th e bill whi ch h e rec ently Introduced
into the Leg is la tu r e to amend the
t e n e m e nt-house la w is a notable v Ictory
for those \\ho ha \'c op po~ed the measure. ~fr. :M arsh n U says h e did not f ully
und er s t a nd th e bill which was put Into
his h a nds by Int~r&lt; st e d pe rsons In New
I York a nd Brookl y n for Introductio n. He
h a.s s ince 1 f'~ rO ed that its provIsions
would undo muc h ot the work of the
tenem e nt-ho use co mmissIon a nd he is
unwllling to s t,end sponsor for It.

EXA~I PLE .

In the co urse ot his official ~xA.mlna.
tlGllS. Inspector Swan has to und r
startling sta te of alTalrs In.a numbe'
ot pluces. notably the St. James ~ote\
at Erie and Seneca s treets. It Is l
five-story stru c ture, built ot brick. :c
has not a lways been used for tenement·
bouse pu rposes, and w hen It was COU..
v(-rted to t hat use Is w .... a pparentlY
built witho ut r ega rd to sanitary rt (t ulrem{&gt; nt~ . Inspector S wan says thlt
he tound that a n a lrshatt extendlrg
trom lbe basement to tbe r oof has bem
completely boarded up, thus shuttl~

dered this opened at once, thu.s giving
m uch -n eeded tres h a ir a s well as light.
Quite a change will be wo rk.d In the
!Inrk halls by this addl tlo-nal light.
Some of these places, says .M r. Swan •
"'ere originally built for warehouses,
a nd their interior constructian Is not
a t a ll s uitable tor buildings which are
to be occupi ed by h um.n beings.
During the Pan-Amprlcan Exposition
Urnes a n umber ot wa rehouses were
converted Into hotels an d since theu
into tenement ho uses. In one Instance
a building ha d torme rly been used tor
uurposes which necessitated the liberal
use ot 011 and grease a nd consequently
the fioors were tho roughly saturated
with both, rend er ing them bighly Inflammab le. When t hey we I'~ reeon.
s tru cted Into tenemen t hOllses thea
greasy, un£: nnttary floo rs were not removed. but we re covered with ot he[,l
floors . making a co ndition or arralMi
dangero u s to hea lth and also to IItel:l
case ot fire. It Is likely Ihe Healtll
Department will require all such construction to be remo,'ed,

Stric t inspection o f tenement h ouses
a nd literal enroreemen t ot the law r elatlve to lhelr sanitary condition wll)
herearter cost B ufralo $5.200 a year
more than tormerly. As a result ot the
agitation for better tenement house
conditions a roused by the Charity Organlzatlon Soc iety a nd other Intlue nces, Hea lt h CommiSSioner Walter D.
G reene yeste rday sen t to the Board of
A ld erlne n a communication setting
to rth the need of mOre help to entorce

Dr. Greene dec lared that with one In"pector, as at presen t, It Is Impossible
fo r his depar tme n t to keep satlstactory
s up ervis ion of the 6,000 tenement houses
In B utTalo. and he asked tor more asslstants, as to llows: Two addttional
te nement house Inspectors. at $1.000 a
year each; one a ssistant inspector ot
p lumbing. a t $1,200, an d two dlslntectors. at $1.000 each. The request~..~
reterred to tbe Co mmittee on

a nd exposed to t he air for hours hetore
they are landed at a ny cold storage

think the c han ces wer e against their
wholesomeness."
But whether wholesome or not. they
are all t h at B u ffalo ppople are liable
to get In th e wa y or un5'8.lted fleh.
Green fish. as distingu ishe d tram fresh
or ,rozen fish. are not t o be had In
quap tltlcs la r ge e no ugh to fe ed the c!ly.
Green fi sh cost 9 cents a pound at
the root at Mich iga n street. The retail
price varies t ram 12 to 16 cen tB. By the
time that the greeD fl s h Is dressed. the
price comes high. A t th e markets. on

all the catch a nd overbids Buffalo
flshd~alerB. A no ther r ea so n Is that peop1e would rather have a frozen whitefish than a t r eeh caug ht blue pike. and
that Is all they cat ch no w. Blue pike
I;enerally brings on ly 4 cents a pound,
and It Is a sign h ow scarce ftsh are
when that br ings 9 cents wholesale. It
Is the same as eating p acked eggs at

Expectorating in street ears cost two
iu municipal court this morning,

for thi. unsanitnry and 80mewhat vulgar

I judidal lelliency in disposing of the first
cases of this sort before him. Both fines
w ere paid by ODe mall because his companion was in hard luck.
The prisoners were arraigned by Officers Leary nnd Weisbecker. Leary,got

The first man arraigned said he was

J oh u Smith of T oledo. Perhaps thot Will
not his nnwe-. but nobody in court knew
the man. ond his identity was not que ...
t ioned. although Officer Leary soid he
thought Smith WR.S n Buffalo busincell
ma n. At nny rate, Smith preferred not
to stu ud trial. He pleaded guilty with·
out ado, llud Ulere WIHI no necelsity for
the introduction of expert testimony 01
to whether the i1efendant chews tobacco,
.en·sen or other foreign mattcr likely to
ui!IColor at ... et cn r fi oors.
Judge Braunleln fined Smith 2 nnd
$1.::;0 costs, which he paid without a murmur.
Omcer W eisbecker arraigned Edward
.Tniner, n w o rkingman who IiYes at 200
~ o r s treet. .laiuer also pleaded guilty,
but asked the court to be lenient with
him. H c said he bad been out of work
for some tim~ past, nnd was just goinK
to work on n new job when he was nrr('sted for s pitting in the )Ioin street car.
Smith didn't kllow that n lUon could be
fin,'&lt;! $100 under th e ordinance, and ho
promptly offered to pay Jainer'. fine,
whate\'cr It mi"ht be. Judge Braunleln
fuiled to take ad"anto"e of his genero.lty,
and finrd Juiner onl)' $1.30. .So Smith
hllllded the court a ~ note, ond bustled

Buffalo Is Interested In Ihese attac k s

of these bUls, Introduced by Sena to r

that its sponsor

abandoned It because of the opposition
It aroused.
Two other less otrensi\'e btIJs have

was Introduced by Assemblyman Ellis

opposed by the authorIties of N ew Yor k.

Four  16” x 10” (40.6 cm x 25.4 cm) “scrapbooks” with a total of 789 pages of articles from Buffalo, Western New York and other newspapers were discovered in the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection at the Health Sciences Library.  The time period covered is October 31, 1901 through June 14, 1906.  The subject matter runs the gamut from public health issues such as disease outbreaks in the city and elsewhere, sewage, water, food and milk purity, tenements and animal control to Buffalo and area politics.  There are numerous images and cartoons as well.  These articles were apparently compiled by a “clipping service,” in Buffalo.&#13;
&#13;
The other interesting aspect of this collection is the fact that Buffalo had so many newspapers at that time. The articles were taken from papers including the News, the Courier, the Enquirer, the Times, the Review and the Express. There are also clippings from Buffalo’s German language newspapers.  Use of the clipping collection is now available through four acid-free, bound paper copies.&#13;

its water tram Lake E rie. A grea t deal
of lyphold tever exIsts in the cIty, and
this tact has led to the agi tation over
the waler used there. Hea lth Commissioner Greene, who is a. physician and

ALBANY. Ma rch 5.-"I have not r eceIved wo rd from Dr. J oh nson, who is
Investigating typhoid condi t ions at
W est Seneca a nd the p ossible Incidental
pollu tion of B uffalo's watf'r supply,"
sai d Supt. L ewis of the State Boa rd of
H ealth yesterday. "With t he exception of what was contained in a brief
dispatch to the effecl that he

',found things in bad s hape at " 'est Seneca, I do not know whe n Dr. J ohnson

From whtlt I
have learned ot th e ~Ituation at 'Yes t
Seneca I sho uld say tha t the conditions
should t'oncern the people of Buffalo
even more th an those of "~est Senet'a,
for t he reason that B uffalo has so many
more peo ple to be ., frec t ed.
"The .:mly remedy tor DufTalo Is to

one plumber at $1,250. He said that this

109 germs in publie water supplies
by eetroeuting them is a prooess about
to lie experimented upon at Niagara
Fall;'!. The plan JulS been t ried iu Ger·
many and France. At Wiesbaden there
is a n electric plaut tor this purpose and
baeteriologicnl tests of tbe water treated
by i\; show that it is rare that a germ
eludes the destructive flnid. Water at
Wiesbaden was infected with the germs
of typhoid, Asintic cholera and bacillus
coli communis,which often gives trouble.
In eacl. case the germs numbered 35,000
to the cubic centimeter. That water
was subjected to this treatment and in
each case not a single one 01 tbe above
germs was found to live.
The process is known as the ozone
method . A building is built to accommodate the entire prooess unde r one
rooL 'rhel'e is an engine room- in Germany gas engines are used-which both
pump and develop electricity for the
manufac ture of ozone. The ..leetricity
is developed at 8,000 vol ts and this is
led to a sedes of chambers in which the
eleetricity is uischarged in the form of a
"silent discharge." But 48 chambers
are necessary for the Wiesbaden plont,
whieh supplies the whole city. The
ozone which is, of course, another form
of oxygen possessing pecnliar oxidizing
powers, is then le(l through pipes to the
base of a towel' which, at Wiesbaden, is
about 25 feet high. The tower is filled
with cobblestones, the large.tones being
at the bottom and g raduat ing upwar,1.
Into that towel' at the top the city water
is led after a quick mechanical flltration
to remove mud and dirt. It trickles
down through the tower and meels the
ozone os it comes up. As it is discharged
at the bottom it is pure, germless water.
Thell it flows over a series of six. small
cascades which .erve to liberate any
ozone which may have been absorbed
and flows into a reservoir from which it
is pumped into the city mai.ns.
The experimental plant at Niagara
Fall. is expecte(l to be installed within
a month. If it prove. the process to be
commercially practicable a long step
will lIa'l"e been taken toward a~riw:;..

TO PURIFY WATER
WOU LD COST All
4(l l!,lBAST $2,000,000

Mayor Knight has approved the bill
r ecently passed by the Legislature
which ~rmlts tbe city of Buffalo to
Issue bo nds to the amount of $500,000
for th e Improvement and elCtension ot.
the water works .ystem. The bill wlll
now g,' to Gov. Odell for his signature.
The enactment at the law does not
necessarily m ea n that a ny change will
be made In the local water works system a.t th e present time, nnd it Is sim I ply permissive In Its character.
The
Common Coun cil mayor may not avail
Itself of the a uth ority thus conferred,
as It .~e. fi t. The bill was framed
lIpon the sugges tion of Hea.ull-Cll.wmlssloQ!!:..Vreene, and Is due to the typhoid
lever scare tb a t swept over the city
during the Winter just ended. Analyses
by City Bacteriologist Bissell ot water
ta ken through the Ice at variOUS points
I above the city In J a!lua n.- and F ebruary showed that the DUffalo water
supply was tull ot unhealthful .germs.
Dr. Greene was 90 1mpressed by tb e
bad character ot the wa,(pr that he Issued bulletins advis ing all water Inl tended
tor huma n consumption to be
boiled betore using. It was ou t ot th is
condition ot affairs that grew the bill
just passed. Dr. Greene, Impressed by
the then existing mennce to public
health, and recognizing th a t It It
l ehould continue a ft er the adjou rnment ot tbe Legislature, the city would
be practically powe rl ess t o remedy

Of course

$oOO,noo would not build such a plant,
but It would do to begi n OD. A con-

servative estimate for such a plant
would be $2.000,000. It wou ld likely to
above that figure.
'l ' \.VO DI F l i"E R ENT S \ · STEi'IS.

There are two torms of filtration in
common use in large cities. One is
known as the mechanical Or a lum system, wi hIe th e agency of the other IS
sand. The tormer costs abo ut $1.000,000
an ac r e and the other ahout $i5000
but in each instance the aggregate ~os t
Is practically the same, accord ing to
Dr. Greene. One aCre under the mechanical syste m wlli filter 125,000,000
gallons or ,vater every twenty-rour
hou~~. As Buffaio us es from 150:000.000
to 1 '0,000,000 gallons daily, at leas t two
a c res, would be r equired tor a single
pia nt, but as it would be d esirable, Dr.
Gree ne thinks, to have a similar pla nt
in reserve in case th e regul a r one
failed, fou r acres for actual filtering
"'ould be r equired. This, with ten
more ac r es at land which might be
required tor various purposes, would
bring the cost up to close on $4,000,000.
The chlet agency In th e m echanical
system Is al um. About one-eighth ot
a grain Js employed to eaoh gallon of
water. It can only be used where the
water to bc filtered co nt a ins alka li.
Such a property Is possessed by th e
water at L a ke Erie. In wh ich Is tound
considerable ca rbo nate ot lime. The
alum and the al k ali unite, form ing a
gummy mass, wHich sinks to the bottom at th e filtering plant, taking with
it about 90 per cent. at the germs.
WO ULD NEED 200 A C R ES.

A filtration plant of at least 200 acres
would be required If snnd Instead of
a lum Is t he agen"y employed, as it Is
h as been fou nd by experien ce that
about 75,000 gallons p e r acre eve ry
24- ,hours Is n tuir average a nd as
B ul'l'a lo u ses 150,000,000 gallons dnlly It
can be teen that 200 acres would be
ba r ely eno u g h . A r eserve plant would
l"f'qt:ire as mu ch more. To operate
either 9ystem, Dr. Greene Ray that n ot
mora th a n lour, five or sIx men aside
tram th ose at the pUmping station
would be required .
Where the filtration plant would be
located is a matter which, of COurse,
can only be determined after thorough
InvesUgalfon. Dr. Greene has been incll nfld to f avo r high lands, such as on
the rldgp n ear H amburg. on the th eory
that with the filtration plant so located gra vity would be sumcient to
bring th e water Into the city mains,
thus d oing away " 'lOt the n ece!!lslty ot
a pumping plant tor thnt purpose at th e
filtration plant as w ell as a se t ot
pumps at the Intake pier to pump the
water into the r('servolrs. This matter,
he s.ays, is o n e for the future to decide.
Dr. Greene a lso sayf' t h at it Is quite
possible the n eceRstll' fo r con~truct ln g a
filtratlon plant might be en tirely obviated even In the event ot: the water
proving bad, by loentlng the 1&amp;take
pieor threE' or foul" mlleR up the lake

serum treatment as a specific for disease.

In tbe summer of the sarno yenr, when
anU-to~11l was p laced be fore a medIcal con-

gress In London as n. specf1c for diphtheria.
It was scotted at by eminent"" sh:eptJcs. It
took three years to gel this dIsco \'ery be-

yond the experimental stage into the clln~
I but no one ]lOW dlsputes its efUca cy.
~~he grea tes t d lsco . .·el·y In the field or
medical science s ince that [I me has been
the scarlet fever Herum, or anti-strep tococcus as the doctors ca ll It. True, a J a panes~ student In Berlln, D r. Kltsato. has
dropped In during the Interva l with his
serum for lockjaw, and It has pro,:ed a s
BuccesMul In Its resu lts as anti-toxin for
dipththerla; but it does not compare. 1n importance with tho seru m cure fO! diphtheria or tor scarlet fever.
The sca rlet tever serum, li ke t he serums
that precede it, wa1:l dJ8covered by Be~Un
medical scientists. The Marmorne k sca llet
fever seru m was experimented with seven
years ago, and found wantlng. Some o f 1t
was sent to Ameri ca. and e XJ&gt;eriments made
with It by Dr. Louis Fischer ot the "Vtllartl
Parker and Riverside Hospltal.s, New Yo~k
city, associated with o ther physicians. for
the benefit of the New York board ot
health. The serum proved a s weak a nd
dls.':lppolnllng as Koch's tube rcullne.
A
report was made to the board that th e physicians were no t justltied In either using or
recommending the' use of the sca rlet fever
serum, and that the indiscriminate sa le of
it should be prohib ited unt11 clinical exp~­
rience established Its true therapeutic
value.
A merican Experiments Successful.
No w there Is a dllIerent tale to tell.
Within the past few weeks a higher development of the scarlet fever serum has
bee-n experimented with by Dr. Fischer,
and with u nqualJfied s u('ce-ss.
"The resu lt." said Dr. Fischer In an Interview "takes the scarlet fever s erum out
of the experimental and puts it Into tile
cItnlcal stage. It pro,'es, In my opinion,
and In the opinion ot many other medica l
men ot my aCQua.in tance, that the serum
cure Is the therapeutic agen t ot the future.
It Is ~ triumph for the prophylac tic tendency of modern medicine-that IR, tendency
to prevent disease rather thun to cure It.
"In a very shor"l time I firmly believe tbe
value at the scaflet feve l' se l' um w lll be as
undlsl)uted as the diph theria. serum Is now.
I believe th a t It will be adopted by boards
of heaith throughout the country. I ha.ve
tried Its effect on two cases. one at them
which appeared to be hopeless. a nd the results were a ll that could be d esired.
"Perhaps, at the tou rtee nth International
medical congress, which will be held at
MadrId next May. SOme ot the B erlin bacteriOlOgists will ten of the ir progress with
the serum, and the world will hear so mething more. of another great discovery tn
medical scfenC'e. I a m going to the co ngress. and It Is ml· Int(&gt;ntlon a fterward to
go to Ber1ln and fiee D r. Hans Aronson,
with whose SE'rUm I have been recently experimenting.
H ow i' S erum W orks.
"In order to make the subject mo)'E' InterestIng to the lay render," continued Dr.
Fischer, "suppose I give a. brief r e view of
the serum treatment and the principle tha. t
underHes it.
"Many yea.rs ago P rofessor Ehrli c h 01'
Berlin. discovered thnt abrtn and r icin,

Into animal s u nUl they had acqu ired a 'tolerance: to use a medical term. tor these

be Injected without fatal effects. Theso
animals were called Immune. Then hp reaSOned that it the blood o C immune an imals
could neutralize these s peclflc pOisons,
probably the serUm from the blood ot animals would contain healing subshmces,
Thus he learned that In so me Instances

Injected Into another animal, would p revont

Greene w1ll complete his collec l!1on of
samples and at once report bis find ings
to the Council, and press his sugges·
tion of a commission to pl1Qvlde a rem·
edy. Tbe getting of samples 'h as taken
conslderahle time now and has no
doubt been very thorougbly done. J ust
why It Is deemed necessary to get
samples at this time Whe n the water
is reported to be much better than two
months ago, Is n ot quite clear. Tbe
purpose In view Is not to show how
good the water Is or can be In sum·
mer, but to demonstrate had bad !t is
in fall and sprIng and protect the pub·
IIc trom tts pollution at those Umes.
Ho wever, no fault can be fo und on
the score of thoroughness. Let us
~now It all but let no time be wasted
atter tbe preliminary facts are In. The
cure Is ,the thIng, and if the mel!bods
successtully employed by other clMes
are to be studied " ith any Thorough·

"It .is the unanimous opi nion of your
committee that the southeastern portion
oC Lake Erie is contaminated to a greater
o r Ie-55 degree a t all times, a nd. while
t he water from farther up the lake is
better than that within twO miles of
shore. it is our opinion that a n intake
placed anywhere from five to ten miles
up the lake would give good water but
fo r a limited period of any year, tor the
reason that the eastern end ot the lake
is sha llow, being on ly fony to sixty feet
deep, an d the p revailing wind being from
the so uthwest. d uring storms the lake
bottom is disturbed a nd the water shows
a poll uted condition.

Commissioner o f Publlt:' Works Ward
made this statement today on the Quest ion of giving Butralo a pure wat~r
supply. which now rests with the Board
of Health an d the Aldermanic Committee on Water, Dr. G reene's re port ha,'ing been referred to fne:n.
" Do you beHeye the wate'" should be
filtered 1" Col. Ward was asked.
"Filtration would be a gOod thing"
said the Commlsaloner. "but I do not
think It would be advisable to . pend nt
t his time the money a filtration plant
"'ould cost, when the city needs so
many other things.
"Burtalo's water Is better now than
It h as been In years. an d my Judgment
Is that we a re no t " 'ithln 25 o r 30 years
or tbe Ume when we will be compelled
t o filter all the water we use.
OIEvery tlme there Is .l. bad storm the

bottom is stirred up, but the volume of
"'aler In the la\&lt;e Is so e reat that. M I
have stated It will not be necessary to
filter It tor 25 or 30 years yet. I am
more interested In getting more o f the

would move the present Intake out to

PURER WATER
PLANS ARE

TALKED

tTAlK OF A COMMISSI ON
The water QuesUo n was dtscus~ed
yesterday in t he !"Itayor's oft1c at a
,neetlng oC the a ldermani c water commltwe and the board o f h4?alth. Finally. t.he Question was put oyer until just
before the meeting 01 the Board of A Idermpn next ){onday.
Among those
present were l\:layor l~llight. Dr. "' . D.
Lil:2f:ne,. the health commissioner: City

Chemist Hill, Ci ty Bacteriologist Bissell, Dr. 'V. C. Kraus, Colonel F . G.
Vtard, the Commis;sioner or PulJlic
,York!!; and a ldermen ,Viener. Ken ·
nedy. Beiser, H a.rp. l\lartin and Holmes.
The discussion too k the torm of an
argumE'nt fOl' and against a. propOElal
to have a commission try to find the
~urce of contamination ot' the lal{ e
water. Dr. Greene spoke first. He ~ald
the health df~partment officials who had
test~d the water
ta ken at different
places in ~ake E rie, rec0111mended the
appolntm.ent of a commission of outsiders so,,-the public could ha" e the opin·
ion of 'yater experts as to what is best
to do.
Dr. 'l~rauB favored appointing a commission. So did Dr. Hill and Dr. Bissell" Who said the numbe r of typhoid
C8...ses increases every time there is a
".&lt;orm . Dr. Bissell also declared Buftalo would ha\'e just such a time as
Ithaca did IC a ny of t he places on Lake
Erie, like the steel plan t , DunkiJ·k or
Cleveland. should have typhoid fever.
He cited the case of Meadville ~'hic h
for years used wa ter f rom a creek Into
which, fifteen mlles above, the sewage
of Cambrldge Springs is d umped, and
did 110t have a typhoid epidemIc until
there w4S one at Camb ridge Springs.
Alderma n H a rp a sked if t he increased
population would not account for the
increased number ot: typhoid case~. He
,",as told it would not. w holly. and Alderman Kennedy asked about t h e Stony
Point epidemic recen tly.
Dr. Greene
saJd there were- about 400 cases reported during the epidemic and some of
Buffalo's cases were chnrged to them.
Mayor l{night recom mended having
an outside expert look into the Question.
He said th e s ituation Is serious. However. Alderman Harp said th~ commission's plan was expensive and unneces sary and said at the most only one outsider should be hired.
Colonel W ard opposed a commission
as unnecessary.
He advised moving
the Intake to t.he Horseshoe Reef and
said the board ot: health. of which he
was one. had power enough to do what
was n eeded.
Just betore t h e meeting ended, A lderman Ke~dy moved that the board of
health h ave tu1l charge ot: the matter
with permi~!!'ion to spend up to $3,000.
Alderman Hnrp wa nted to make the
amount $1,500.
The Kennedy motion
voted down by aldermen Harp,
and WlenE"r.

ALD. HARP.
Menlber of Water Committee Says
He's Open to Conviction on
Pare Water Question.

Ilfealth Commis sioner Greene 's
Recent Report Will Be Taken
Up by the Committee Tom orrow Afternoon.

"I'm not an' obstru ctionist and I don't
want to appear as one," said Ald. J.
Thomas Harp of th e Aldermanic Commlttee on Water this morning, dlscusslng Health J:&amp;nupiS'Sloner Greene's report on the CCii'i'Clitlon ot Buttalo's water.
It was Ald. Harp who led the opposition on th e committee toward the appOintmenl of a commission to investlgate th e water question. AId. 'Wiener,
chairman of the committee, and Ald.
Belser fo llo wed l\!fr. Harp's lead. When
he said "No commission" th ey repeated
it a.nd when it came to a vote, Ald.
Kennedy and Smith, who were tor a
comTli.lselon, were defeated.
Ald. H arp, however. is broad enough
to b.dmlt he might have been in error,
"I'm open to conviction," said hI? "I
~fant to get at the bottom of this water
ques tIon . I want to gee things don&amp;
rIght. I'm opposed to going outside for
an opinion. hOwever, when it costs $3000.
I have great faltb in Dr. Bissell, the
City BacterIologist. I think his opinion
Is as good as that of any .specialist 1n
the country. I don't bellevo that the Inta)e gets any of this polluted water.

That's th e position I take. The water
we get comes right down the main
channel of the lake and doesn 't get any
of the sewage from either shore.
"I wouldn't be opposed to hiring anot:.,,- expe rt to assIst Dr. Bissell and
Dr. Hill, the CIty Chemist. Th ey have
work to do, I know that, and this Inves_
tigation would doubtless take a lot at
time. Get a nother man to help them
and that's enough."
Ald. Beiser w as asked this morning
how he felt a.bout the commission. He
said:
"r am opposed to the appoint ment or
a commlSS'ion or the expen dI ture at any
great amount of money in this lnvesligation. I think Buffalo men are able
to tell whether the water is bad or not.
Thl?re's no need of going outside for experLs. I'm told that the west river
furnishes pure water. Now I only have
the word of a man who has spent his
lile on the water front for that. He
says that's where the ;n take should
be."
The water eommlttee is to meet aga ~
Monday. At that time action should b
taken on the water proposItion .

reeeiYIng the sum ot

$3,000 from the Common Counrll
to defray the expenses which will be

incurrl?d in haying outside experts come
h ere to tnyestignte Buffalo's condition
as regards its city water supply.
The .Aldel men re[erred the Health
("omml~sioner's communication to the
'Committee on " ater. Twice this week
that committee, of which .Ald. ~oiener
is the chairman, was to have metfirst on .Monday and then last nlghtbut on both occasions the chairman hns
been unable to get a Quorum of the
members together.
Last night Chairman 1Viener called a
meeting of the committE'e for 3 o'clock
thi~ afternoon at City Hall.
C'hnirman 1\oiener, when seen this a t·
t "'rnoon. said thelt his committee would
undoubtedly take favorable action on
the Health .commissioner's comm unica·
tion.
"If the Health Commissioner beHe\'l?s
that it will be for the best interest ot
the elty to have outside experts come
here and inspect our water plant, t hen
I belle\'e that we should supply him
with sufficient money to defrny the expenses of such an inspection:'
It is also expected that the committee will this afternoon consider the bids
for supplying ten new boile~s nnd a
large Quantity of new machmery for

the pumping station.

Bids for these

supplies were opened in )'farch. but as
y et no contracts have been a.warded.
though the insurance compames long
ago notified the ci ty that the boilers

th e coonc!!man

O:\1E weeks a go Health Commissioner W. D. Gt\"'ene considered
t hat h. might be 0/ some sma!l
assistance to Col. Francis G. Ward ,
Commlssiorer o f Puhlic "'orks, in the
latter's ~ecming dilemma o ver the
garbage ~it uation.
Dr. Greene is not being interviewed
over the recep tion w hich Col. \\"'ard
gavr him. b ut a memb"'r of the Board
of Counc ilmen w ho happene-d to hear
of how Col. Ward waverl D r. Green off
) n
this occasion had t his to say in
regard lo the incident last night:
"Dr. Greene had received a n impo rt·
ant letter bearing upon the garbage
question and he thought it might be oC
In terest to "'Yard. He took it to "·ard.
'Oh. yes. oh, yes,' said "·ard , ' I know
all about it, I know all about i t.' and
he did not even take t he letter for
future reference ."
The lettf" r which Dr. Grepne had "·as
Jne w ritten by Dr. Herbert Jones.
prec;ident of the ~Iemphis Board or
Health. in which h(&gt; a rgued for the
c ity':; remo \'ing an d dest roying its garbage T:t ther t han by the contract ~ ys­
tern. Here are some extracts f rom thn.
le tter:
" v\·hy so me o f our larger cities permit themsel\'es to be rob bed by the
co ntract' system , I cannot understand.
The c remation of garbage is just as
practicable in a large city as a smal l
"ne. The fact is. the larger t he cl ly
a nd the more dense t he population. tie
greater the sa,ing by cremation 'on U.e
spot.' It is t he long haul that has reo
tarded the destruction of garbage by
fire. The idea t hat t he offal of a city
must be carried out of the city-in
many instances necessitating a haul )f
rlve or six miles, and in some cases the
e xpen~e of a scow a fter this haul-is
what kills crerna tion. I can run a crematorv in ~nv n~rt rl f f l.. ....... h , .....

S

York. a nd if t he nei ghbors di d not see
the garbage gOing into the crematory,
they would never know wha t w as go.
Ing on in t he establishment. Our cre
matories a re located in the most dense.
Iy pop ul o ted sections of the town and
by actual test. one cart now does th~
wo rk It required three to do when the
garbage 'vas haul ed to the MISSiSSippi
Rn·er.
.. As to the cost o( dest ruction. If
properly built crematories are used. if
they a re properly managed. a nd the
cost o( coal (common slack) does not
e xceed $1.50 l)er ton. the garbage of a llY
ci ty in the world CAn be cremated a t a
('oa t not to exceed twenty cents per
ton . This I can demonstrate to any
man who will come here a nd in vestiga te
for himself.
"Xow a s to the objectionable fea ·
tures : As before statE"d. our crematories a re located in the heart of the city.
They were built nearly fi f'e years ago.
At the time of their erection, injunctions were t hreatened. all sorts of objections urged, direful predictions uttered, incendiary threats made. etc. Wilh·
in a month a fter operations began, all
complaints ceased. and since t ha t ti me
residences have been built within a
s tone's throw of our crematories. and
no t a word of complaint is ever hea rd,
e ven from the chronic growler.
"If there is one sound a rgumen t
a gainst the destruction of garbage by
fire. I do no t know it. It is contended
by s ome sanitarians that there is too
much willful waste of val uable rna·
teriat. I cannot see this. This coun try. a t least. has plenty to spare a ll
of this and. In my humble opinion. it
will be several hund red years before
we will be forced to such eItreme
economy a s to compel human beings to

Action.
...................................................................
In all probability the ill-smelling
grain nul.!lance on the sIte of the Dlamond Mills In Elk Street wl11 be abated
wlt1:ln a lew days. Health Commissioner Greene declared yesterday
that considerable dlfftculty was experienced in flndlng the owners of the
slurt, and as yet this much -mooted
point Is not defin itely settled.
"All 01 the companies heretofore Interested In the mills deny the ownership 01 the material." said Dr. Greene
yesterday. "so I have decided tha.t the
Lake Shore Railroad Company. on
~' hose propl:'rty the nuisance Is situat·
ed, sboul d be compelled to remove the
stuff. I have already comm unicated
my Intentions to the officials 01 the
company. and they have replied thlll
lengthy litigation w111 lollow If the r. moyal at thp grain by the city Is a~·
sessed to their property."
Chu r&lt;'hlll &amp; Company claim that
they have no jurisdiction In the mat ter.
as it pased tram the ir h ands several
weeks since. I have beeon Informed bY
Charles Short, who Is at present overseelng the removal of parts of th e
grain. that a Toledo firm has closed
a. deal by which the menace will be
removed within a week. At any rate,
I will post a noUce on the ruins today
requ iring the owner or owners to s hOW
caU::le tomorrow why the Commission·
er of Publlc 'Yorks should not remove
the materIal Immediately. which would
entail a 10&lt;\8 01 several thousand dol lars to the owners."
The sc~rclty of cars is advanced as
a cause tor the laxity shown by the
railroad officials. It there were more
at theIr disposal the railroad author·
ities claim that the owners of the
stuft' could make the fetid piles vanIsh rapidly.
OTH E R NUISAN CES .

JUst now the ruins of the Cold Storage Company'. plant are occupyIng the
attention 01 the health officers owing
to the ca rcasses of the dead horses
burled beneath the debris. The density of the population In that locality
makes the removal of thp horses imperative. All 01 the available teams
In the city are being u~ed tor the removal at the ruins at th e storage
plant.
Dr. Green. thinks that It will be a
difficult matter to get a sufficient number ot teams at the site of the mill
ruins In Elk Street. but he expocts to
have plf'nty at ('ars placed at· hIs
command before long. It Is expE:cted
thal the railroad company will no
longer delay the mattel' In view 01
tho dpclded objections r~lsed wlthtn
the last lew days by neigbbors in the
~Y of the nuisance.

Dr. Frederick Preis!I, a. recognized
authority on typhoid tever, has just
re-turned to Butfalo from an extended
trip through Europe. where he made
a. special study ot the ,,'ater supply of
large cities and the methods used for
Its purillcatlon.
As a. result of his Investigations, Dr.
Preiss sa)'s that the only ab.olutely
certain method of killing germs In
water Is by the Introduction of electricity. He estimates that a. plant that
will prove fatal to every germ In the
., 000 000 gallons ot.. Niagara RIver con;;'m~d dally by the people of Buttalo
can be constructed for $80,000.
The best of the filtration plants, ac,
cording to data which Dr. Preiss has
gathered, will not destroy more than
90 per cen L ot the germs. and those
which are left undestroyed are ot the
kind most fatal to human life.
"Xever," says Dr. Preif'.s, "should
the water supply ot a city be taken
from a. stream or other source polluted by sewage."
.A statement that such a thing Is
done frequently In America. provoked

~NCREASEO

Cholenl Infantum in Churchynrd F a rm S e ction
of City Los ing Its Gr ip.
The epidemic of cholera

infantum
for some
time in that section of the city known
as Churchyard Farm gives evidence o f
a batement. This district is the one
bounded by Broadway. Bailey A venue,
W,lIIam Street and the city 11ne. An
unusua l number ot deaths ha.ve occurred In this part or B uffalo during
the past two months and various
ca uses are gIven tor it.
When It became e&lt;Ident that asid e
from the morta11t y among Infants
there was an unusual a.mount of sickness among adults, the plan of segregating the s tricken ones was resorted
to. Tents were placed on the lawns
and in many ins.rances as soon as IndlsposlUon manifested Itself the patient
was removed to some other locality.
In the great majorit y ot cases this
proved etl'ecth·e.
A Courier reporter took a trIp out
to the aITected district yesterday . The
wind was blowing strong from the
west, but despite th is the unpl easan t
odor of the garbage plant, which Is
jo."t east ot the city line, " ras muc h

they all a,!,~eed that the epidemic was
decreasing. George :\IalJn, 'who is In
the shoe bUS-iDeES at No. 1,68 \\rill1am
Street, stated that the odor ,-vas al ways ba.d. In hi opinion the 5e~·.. e r
causes as much trouble as any other
baleful sourre. Said he: "The se,,'er
from the Lackawanna. shops runs
along here. It Is under the sidewalk
and there Is no effort ma.de to clean it
out.
~"h ere\'er a break occurs
repq,irs are made, but there is fully three
feet of dirt In the bottom. Just notice
the manholes along the street and yo u
will always see hundreds of Illes congregated ove r them. to
Obsen'atlon showed this to be true.
Others gav~ the same reason fo r the
present condition.
Health &amp;ap mlss lofter Greene was out
of the city, but trom his omce it was
learned that the death rat~ bas rna tHIally decreased. The Bureau of VI t:'J.I Statlstic:t states that there a re no
more dean.s now than always occur a t
this se-ason or the year. Special attention should be gi\"en to the case ot

the Prevention of all
Contamination,

TYPHOID IS DECREASING
Dr. George E. F ell has written a paper
upon potable water supplies that Is "ery
Interesting reading to Butrnionlans in
view of th e recent dIscuss ion about the
water f urnIshed from ou r resenroirs.
Dr. Fell discusses the danger ot con.

In cities on the Great L a kes. The action of Chicago In bulldlng the grPOt

the city's drinking water Is secured, has
proved, says Dr. F ell. that patholOgical
bacteria are destroyed wi thin 150 mile,
or Ch icago. That is a n interestlog tact
to those who beHeve the Great Lakes are
becoming bero uled to an y extent by sewa ge.
So far as Buffalo Is concerned. there
a re but t wo cities which should be considered. adds Dr. Fell, when the ques·
tlon or contamination ot Its lake-waler
s upply is concerned. Those are Clenla nd. 180 miles away, and Erie, about 80
mlJes away. Dr. Fell believes there Is
Uttle dan ger (rom either. From Clevela nd the lake current Is very slow, and
at ErIe Httle or t he solids or the sewage

In conclusion, Dr. F ell says :
The question presents th is aspect : The great

ot the cost. Cleveland may build a filter plaut

Try ing to Ascertain" How

Poll utes Our Water.
With improved floats he re&lt;"ently has
~ught. City Bactertolo~st ,,'. S. Bissen
this afternoon is testing currents in th.
lake ~ nd upper part ot the ~iagara rh'er
to ascertain definitely. whether or not the
'l\'nter from the outll"t of Smokes' Creek
gets intO the intake opposite the water
~-orks pumping station.
Dr. Bi!::l~ell started out on the polIce boat
Gm.-. )l('rtOn aoout ~ o'clock and went up
the lake to the vicinity of Stony Point
where about a dozen floats were placed
in the water at ditfe:rent wints. The~e
ftoat~ are of a.n improved pattern. and it
i~ expected the best of res:ull~ wtll be obtaine-d from their use. The ft(\:\t~ are hollovo~ tin buoY::!, painted red. On the under
side of each buoy Is n hook or rine- to
~~hlch a four bI.lded tin paddle 1:; attached. This paddle is wholly Inunersed
when the float is in operation and it is
atfe,:-ted by every current ""llh which It
comes tn contact.
This is tbe first time the~ new fi t
have been used locally. Heretofore. ve .

EFFORTS TO DISCREDIT FELL'S CONCLUSIONS

X(lWIl.

That i~ not n fair way to put it.
:\ingarn wa ter from the inlet pier is good
enough for Dr. F~II , and for the people
of Buffalo. as the absence of t)'phoid
cases in the Health report for AUl:1lst
te.tilie\'. The Cact. warrant Dr. Felrs
cOllclusioD, as set forth in thl' e...~hnustiye
paper he read he fore the Academy of

of our f"innitnrinns."
An onoce of preYt.~otion is worth mnny

is to truCE" P'\er~' cn~e of tsphoid re,er

Quite early in its existence this paper enrrgetically
protested against the proposition to establish an extensive filteration plant in the ity of Buffalo because it
held th at the rppol'ts as to impuri1Y of the water consumed by the cirizpns of Buffalo wpre at least exaggerated, if not entirely untrue.
The measurcti contemplnted to remedy the alleged
injurioll- ,·ouditions would have cost, it was estimated,

"One of the sanitary needs at this city
Is a corps of men to disinfect all }lous,.
In which cases of diphtheria, scarlet

"'&gt;-

occurred,"
said Comnl~ssloner
"For myself, I wouldn t move
Into a house where a tuberculosis case
had been until it wus thoroughly dislnrected. In most cltles of over 60,000 this
disintectlon is done. But tbat is not the
case in Buffalo. I can't g et the a idermen to vote the appropriation.
Two
men and $9,000 a year wouid be suffic1ent.
But I don't suppose we can
blame the aldermen tor wanting to k eep
th e t a x-rate ,down. However. a thorough fumigo.tlon of these houses by the
h e.Jtlt lIepartment, in place of thc present system of ha vLng each householder
disinfect after his own fashIon, wouid
prevent the spread ot disease and save
lives.
" Another need is the fumigation of
schoolbooks. These books, which are
owned by the city, are passed trom one
set at children to another set each year.
'rhey become torn, dlrty and filthy. J
took it upon myseif to disintect these
schooibooks.
Tbe department dlsinr.cted 54,000 ot these books. We found
a great unmber ot bacteria. on the lea.ves
before the books were disintected. The
books should be distnfected every year.
" I think the stealn cars should be
fumigated. It you were to do down to
the sta.Uon tomorrow morning to take
the Southwestern Limited and WE're informed there was a leper on the car you
would all get out Just as quickly as you
could. Yet there would not be as murh
danger In that ease as there would be In
your sitting bel.i!lde a man who had
t uberculosis and who was coughtng. One
t enth or the deaths In this country are
caused by tuberculosis or the lungs. You
know the t~ndency of travel on a direct
route through Buffalo for Colorado and
for the Adirondack. in this stat. on the
part ot persons seeking relief from lung
trouble. II Reems to me that the steam
cars shouid be fumigated.
"Another thing that has come up tn
Butralo recently is the pure-water question. 'We h,1\'e not found the typhoid
bacillus in our water, but we have- found
the ('olon bacillus in the water most ot
the time durLng the last two years. This
i. a companion to the typhoid bacillus.
You never flnd the typhoid bacillus unless the colon bacillus Is there, too. I
don't sa.y that we ought to have (L flltering system. We are studying up the
question or pure water now. I cannot
but beUeve, however, that the city's
sewage getR into the intake. I think the
intnke is too t ar down the rlver."
Com!1)issloher Gr.~ne described the
snnd filter In use 1n Albany. lantern
slides being exhibited of dit'ferent secI tions at the work.
"Sand filter. cost
$75,000 a.n acre, which amount at terrltory wi!! tl lter 3,000,000 gallons tn 24
h ours," sald Dr. Greene. "A mechanical
..filter which uses alum is cheaper." ~

\'hether anything new had b een dis covered regarding the alleged contamlnatlon ot Buaftlo's water supply
as the result of ' Vater Expert George

"The matter is not In such shape
that we can say anything more than
that :\11' Full er is prosecuting his invltstlgution In a. th'orough manner, with
th~ co-opera tion at the Health Departm ent," said Dr. Greene.

from whilt he has seen of the situ atio n

Health Commissioner Greene Is not

well. an d to this e nd it wns agr~ed that
hest or .i1"er would be about the right

In accordance with this decision, n

something worth while. After nu m~r o \l s

the members of the co mm ittee fina ll y
found whot th ey wanted in a ~l a in street

interesting st.tistie. from t he
rre~lth .-D eparhnent, published in the
Comlil'!!'Teial lnst evening, show " death
rate [or the past ,ear of 14.95 per 1,000,
on an e.timated population of 380,000.
While this r at e is slightly high er than
for tho three preeeding years. it is still
,'ery low. nnder the circumstances, nnd
Buffalo conlinues to hold its en viable
"ank as one of tho healthiest large cities
of the country. The renl population of
tbe City is now, undoubtedly, close to
~OO,OOO, and if figured on that basis, the
death·r"te wo nl rl be materially 10"'er
than that iven. Thoul(h a slight in·
crease j q shown in tbe number of deaths
from typhoid fenr, the f.et mllst be
borne in mind thnt it is by no means in
proportion to the growth of tbe Gity.
There werc 133 deaths from thnt disease in 1903. and a. fnr bACk 3S 1881,
WhPD the population wAS certainly not
half as large, the numher of typhoid
deaths was 110. I n some diseases, slIch
.s dillhtheria and scarlet fever, in the
treatment of which medieal science has
adl'8Dced. the mortality rate is consid'lrably lower.

In the county jan and that school

authorities reply that the rerources of
the board will not permit the exp ense
of furni~htDg the schools with spring

until that t!me the scbool children

Dr. Ernest Wende declared that
the Method now in Use
is criminal.

DOES THE TUN EL LEAK?
Harbor and Canal Juice said to be
creeping into the City's
Intake.
At

a mE'Ptlng at the Butral0 ~oritaty ot
Llfbr:tr;

:\atural Sclencps held in th ,'
building last night Dr. Ernp~t "\\ pnd\;,
former health ('ommt~~loner, opf'nh~ declared thnt the prc!I;en t ~rstE'm at pumping wuter Into the city was criminal.
Dr. 'l\,rende doefll )lot take- any stock In
all the bugaboos whlcb have been sta rted to thl! erreet thot Lake Erie Is filled
t\'lth germs ot all ~ort5 nnd desC'riptlons.

He 15 ot the opinion that as good wnter

as ca n be round along the entire ln~e

ean be got ju~ t where- Buffalo gets .ItS
,,"'ater no\\·. In fnct, the doctor mruntalns that the water Is 0.11 right when it
15 pumped Into the Intake tunnel, but It
bE'Comes con taminated In the tunnel.
The crIminal part at the system comes
In. according to Dr. 'l\,rpntlE'. when the
city a tlPmpts to ~~nd this tunnel-contamln3ted water right Into the homes ot
Its people Instt'ltd or sending It to a
rf':Ffn'oir to allow It to settlE".
The meeting was held to b Dar Dr. W.
P. Mason or the Ren~e ln er Polytechnic
Institute at Troy tell abou t various system! ot ,,'s tpr Bupph~. The doctor devoted much time to the wa ter suppItes
ot foreign place!!! a nd fIlustrated the
greater part at his lecture. He pictured lbe filtering beds used In Hamburg,
Germany, Bnd dealt a t length with the
conditions a t Gibraltar. That part or
the lecture was parttcularly Interesting.
He ""Id that Gibraltar had to be prepared tor a siege. It had undergon e
fourteen sieges alread l·, he said. It had
one system by whlrb ra inwater was
drained Into resen 'olrs in the rock. but
In case that tatted t he re was a system
by whlrh sen" 'ater could be dl!=tilled.
The doctor said he did not know
mueh about Buffalo's sY'stem ot sUPJll~·.
but he t hought c:cdlmentation and not
fBtration was ,,'hat was needed in But·
WO.

rt was

tben that Dr. \\'ende de-

Buffalo's system or pumplTl ....
water fn to homes to be crimi na.l and
that the 1\'ster as it reached the intake
was pure.

clared

That brought Wlmam Dopp to hi.
feet. Mr. Dopp Is much interested In
a. plan ot lime flltr ntlon and. ot course,
It Butralo's "~ter Is pure 01o.t would
knock ou t fi ltratlon.
" I wl!!lt to disagree "".tth Dr ',ende
and Dr. Mason." sald Mr. Dopp. "I
sa l' that It Is filtration that Buffalo
needs. 'W hat ground has Dr. ""?ende fo r
making the statements which he ha s
made here tonight. He has not told
facts."
"I ha\'e," said Dr. Wende.
" And whe re Is your proof?" aslted
Mr. Dopp.
"I was tn the tunnel. I say It leaks
nnd 1 know 1t leaks. You can't go
ten roe t without getting wet. I know
thal Impure wa ter leaks into It from
the harbor and from the cana1."
"And how do you know It comes from
tb~ harbor and canal""
I
"Kno,,-!" said Dr. ~·end e. fir know It
be&lt;:&amp;U~ \\'e were under the canal when
'H!: discovered t he leaks."
'·But. Dr. Wende, what proof ha,e
you!"
"Wen. Mr. DoPP. do you su ppose It
1\' U the ra.infall coming In " ..
Then Dr. Luclpn Howe corrobo rated
the sta.tements mnde by Dr. V\fende.
The lut s peaker wa s Dr. George E.
Fell. ,,·ho said he was ronfl.dent thn t
pure water could be taken from the
~ lagara rlYer.
"I Would advise people to mnke the

"-lth the UE=e ot the Bordeaux mixture it is cla imed that the water supply
or the cities ca n b e clea ned and p urified
a t a greatly d ec reased expense. Some ot
the larger c ities ha.ve spent $25.000 to
;30,000 In pumping air to clean out theIr

leaned successrully and p romptly a t an
expense of only $400 or $500,
In the d estruc t ion 01 typhoid bacillus
the effec tive ness of the solution is said
to be really magical. One part In ten
million s pans ot w a ter will destroy the
cacillus in one hour.
The Boards 01 Healt h In New York
and Boston are now experimenting
with th e Bordeaux solutton and it 's
believed that the water in those two
cities will be pu r ified a t a small e x·
pense. The Agric ultu ral D epartment is
also continu ing its experiments and w1ll
ma ke a r e port at the r esul ts within a
few mon t hs.
The importan ce at this discovery can
hardly be measured. Typhoid is a ter·

C'Cle o f them, e.nd the others VOiced their

" Even it tbat is so. yo u must rememI ~ r that others have a r ight to b e prot '{' ted," said the Inspector. "If w e 3 1l,nved you to go unvacci nated, you

the people realtzed the full import
of the order and found the sidewalk
staring them in the face as .. dorruclle,
they ,,'axed "Tathy and told Inspector
Brown a. lot of things never learned
in
Sunday-school.
They stormed
against the elty authorities and demanded that the elty pay them rent,
which they asserted " 'as patd in advance whUe they were ignorant of the
conditions in the block. Others ,iemanded that the cJty pay their rent,
v1ded tor them belore any eviction orders were executed.
One lrate woman \,",bo said she recently rented furnish ed rooms in the block
and pald rent In advance, attempted
to tear down the notices. "They are
detrimental to my business," she .ald,
"and I want all the patronage I can
get for the few remaining days."
SOlIE OF THE TE:.'A:.'TS REJOICE.

While .some complained. others rejoiced at [be prospects confronting the
owners. One tenant 93.id: "I have been
after the landlord tor se-v-eral weeks
asking him to put my rooms in proper
condition. but he has not heeded any of
the reQuest~. The rooms are badly In
need ot Improvement. and I think it·s
high dme some action ~Tas taken."
Commissioner Greene said last night:
"The o,,'ner8 Of these buUdlngs have
been warned r epeatedly to conform to
the tenement-house laws, but jn every
c .... e they have falied to do so. All dforts ,,'111 be made to make the owners
put the buildings In habitable condition
before anyone will be allo,,'.d to live
In them agai n. Unless the owners can
advance good reason [or not complying
"'Ith the law. their tenants will be
e,lcted at once.'·
When seen by a Courter reporter last
night Inspector Bro~n refused to discuss
the case. He a d m itted that

a v igorous crus.de had been started

Dr. Green, chief of the department at
heart h, has- issued a letter warning
everybody not to use milk from the
Briggs dairy at El m a. This milk, the
health -department authorities declare.
Is sold by C. ,v. Boyce &amp; Son of Mo ln

I. Dr. Irving M. Snow declares the mil k
from the Briggs dairy, whlch is suP ~

to urge a crim inal prosecution. He \\'a9
Inrormed that the state depa rtment of
agriculture had such matters In charge.
The physi cIans who attended Mr•.
George M. Sicard, who died very suddenl)', are of the opinion that her dea th

th e Ilerm of scarlet fever. Mrs. SIcard
was accustomed to drink the certified

Fran k H. Goodyear, Mrs. Sicard's ra ther said yesterday that he was rea SO n~blY ('prtaln that his daughter's
death had been caused by the certified

Dr. .1ohn Hudson Grant. assistant
commissioner ot: the state department or
agri cu lture. and Dr. Green. placed the
blame for the present epidemic of scarlet leyer on a Lancaster physician who
was called when scarlet t:ever was discovered In the Briggs's household. He
placed signs on the house, but neglected
to order the dairyman to stop selling
milk.
In justice to Mr. Briggs. the aut hortties say he stopped selling milk as soon
as he learned ther e mIght be scarJetfeve r germs In it.

There's a beautiful row on a mong halt
a dozen physicians as to where the rep
sponslblllty lies for the scarlet tever

outbreak which has caused so much
t alk and anxiety lately. Dr. Henry R.
Hopkins criticises Dr. Johnson, secre·
tary of the State Board ot Health , who
came here on ... aturday to make an In,estlgatlon and who reported atter his
i nvestigation t hat Dr. Greene, the Com.
missioner of H ealth, was not to bla me.
S ays Dr. Hopkins:
"1 bave no knowledge that Dr. Johnson had any past acquaintance with the
methods which prevail

Mayor
Knlght·s Health Department. . I am
not very much impressed at blS enormous i ntelligence of the manner J
which scarlet fevers are spread.

officers found a ll too often 1n New

lttUe sanitary ",'ork and who neyer
omit to draw their sa.laTies.
"What the pre ent standard of t he
Buffalo Health D epartment Is. I do not
know but I am quite persuaded as to
what'lt used to be when there was n o
chance of the milk-borne scarlet feyers
running 1 or::!O days after Its existence
became known before an investigation

The rna rked decrease In the number

b eginning In the year 1902. Is .ald to be
attributable to th e fumigation of

As it rule. in previous years, It will be
noticed that the number of cases in

the number that came In September,
when sch ool was r esumed, and In the

pa t II eek have beeo interesting reading for tbe public on account of the
fiery interviews lhat various docto rs
and health otllcers hal·e g il'cn to reporter as to the scarlet fever cases
t bat have occurred in Buffalo a nd
Elma. The maio contrDl'Clsy bas
been between Dr. Greeoe, hcallh
ollicer of Bufralo, Dr. Briggs, wbo
certifiecl .to the milk from the Briggs'

adjuoct to the goreat impai rment of
its efllcieocy, and a number of others
have mixed up in great stj le.
COl siderable criticism bas been
made against Dr. McPberson of t his

Out of all the dust raised by these

sho,,- that ~,e coses ot scarlet rever have
broken out on the Boyce mtlk r()ute 81nce
the route was stopped by order or Dr. Walter D. Greene. bealth commll!!l!!loner, on
SeptE'mbt"r 11tb, tbe lal!!t of these making
lu appearance on Thur8(lny, wblle the appearnnce of .B. De"1'\" ('ase all the Seibert loute
started anotber InvestlgflUon yesterc3ay.
In r e~8.rd to the cases on tbe Boyce
route. which extend o~er a period of. time
starting wltb September 16tb and eondlng
with September 22&lt;1, Dr. Greene statu
thnt they may have come from contact w ltb
Infected personl!!. or by the development of
the disease rrom germs taken Into the BYSI tem prior to the time the milk was stopped.
Fourteen r1ays Is the maximum period,
though cases u8ually develop within six to
ten days.
"Arter September 25tb.," 881d Dr. Greene.
"no more cases of sca rlet fever can be attributed to certified milk. and It any should
A.rlse after that date. they would be due
surely to otber causes, probably to con-

I

t_glOD. "

II

Dr. Greene Is Inclined to thInk that all
the recent cases are due to contagfon.
"Take the last case reporteC,' satd be
"tha t or a dre!Smaker, resldlng on BudlrOn
street. It would not be surprising It: her
lJIness wos due to contagion througb customers T"lsltlng ber house, although it Is •
fact tha t she was a purchsl!!er of cerUfted
milk prior to the da te we cloeed the
r outt"."
The c8fle on the Seibert route boa puzzled
the health depflrtmE'ot ott"le1ala to some extent, thougb they bold to the opinion that
here, 0.8 10 tbe other case, the tllneas is due
to contagion. 'W hen the attention ot the
departme-nt WI\8 first attracted to the Seibe r t routE' a ri gid I n~pectlo n at the sonrce
ot the milk supply was mnde, and evel7'thing W08 found In good shape. On Thursday It WRS repor tt"d that a boy named Jacobs, r es iding on De1't Itt street, bad !!I carlet
!t"Vf't. and n~ tbe house was o.n the Seibert
route another Investigation W8IS made.
Again rY&lt;"rythlng was tound to be In good
condition, and Dr. GrE'cne does not teel
on'nrrantE'(1 In ~topplng the supply ot milk,
as thE" boy mny hflTe contracted tb" disease
through contagion.
To add to tbe perplE'xlty ot the hf'alth depnrtment officials, tbere have been two

T
e Is In today's Express a letter
fro
Dr. Hopkins about th e failure
tbe officIals of tbe city to prevent the
~read of scarlet fever.
It Is bitter; many will sa.y unduly bitter. but It ought to be printed. It may
be that tbe D epartment at Health Is
more to be pItied than blamed In thIs
c .... e. but that does not wipe out the
facts. The harm Is done. The chance
to eave danger. misery and death was
mlued, and It Is w ell that all public oflIelal. should r emember that In cases of
thl. nature no excuse ever can atone
for a failure. The h a rm Is done. and the
IIttlerness ot crIticIsm must be endur-ed. an executive ,,'hose appointee
faUll, no matter how good the excuse, Is
_tu~IlY held responsible for tbe fallare. For newspapers to ignore or stifle
such criticism because It Is bItter Is to
deprive the public of Its best safeguard and guara.ntee that care will be
tak~n In securing fit men for responsible place •.
Perhaps Dr. Hopkins, though able,
Ilourageous and hIgh-minded. Is unreaeonable In tbls Instance. Perhaps he Is
unduly bItter; but It would be well for
I us all, If our officIals
er forgot that
there are hundreds
thousands who
think 1Ike Dr. Hop ns, thougb rew
have the courage to speak out as he

hilA een appOinted by th e Bonrd of
H ea lth to fumiga le lhe homes of tubercular patients. The a pPOintment is a
tE"mporary on('.

Authorities will seek to have Aldermen prohibit the Use of absorbent Tubs.
Thou s ands of h ouseholders in th e city

ot Buffalo will elevate their eyebrows
wben they are Intormed that they have
In th e ir homes a medium new to them
tor the spread ot disease, to wi t., their
stationary washtubs.
And the same multitude ot citizens
may feal moved to give stronger expresSion to their amazement or other emo-,
lions when tbe y h ear that th e health 1
department Intends soon to take steps
toward legally prohibiting the Installation or use of stationary tub. th a
a re not of non-a.bsorbent material, or,
at least, not lined with non.absorbent
mnterlal.
While some householders may be surprised and other s Indignant, the healtb
officials believe th e majority ot citizens will see good reason tor the -proposed c hange. Cornnlissioner Greene,
when asked yester ay if It
ue
that h e Intended to propose a city ordinance prohibiting w ooden tubs and
reqUiring h a rd-material tubs instead
said:
"Not exactly t hat. The ordi nance I
shall ask the Corporation Counsel to
dl'a t! and which I will recommend to
the Common Council for enactment will
Simply requ ire that stationary tubs
sha ll be non-al1sorbent.
"It w ill not specify that the tubs
s hall be or marble or anytblng like
t hat. We kno,v there are many poor
people w ho couldn't a fford any such
thing. Those who can afford it, could
have either marble or tile or stone or
s omething or that sort, but there would
be nothing In the ordinance to stop
anyone fro m having a m etal tub or a
tin-lined o r other metal-lined wooden
tUb.
Tubs whose working surfaces
were of a ny kind ot non-absorbent material wou:d conform to th e ordinance.

I

Danger in wooden Tub;;,
- "The Idea is simply this," continued
D r. G reene. "We have tound in our inspec tion ot houses where contagious
disease ha s existed tubs that were made
sim ply ot wood. The wood absorbs tbe
water used In washing dirty clothes,
whic h may be Infected with disease
germs. The warmth ot th e la undry I.
suited to the development ot the germs.
The wood dries ou t n nd th e germs get
Into the air an d a re inhaled, endangerIng the health and lives ot others In
the ra mlly, who might not otherwise
b ecome Infected.
"It must be remembered that the obj ect of publi c -health departments Is to
minimize a U danger of th e spread or
contagion, a nd to this e nd a ttention to
w hat may seem to the general public
unimportan t d e tails, Is in reality one
of the most'impol'tant measures for attaining that object.
"The danger of th e spread of disease
thro ugh th e use ot a bsorbent washtubs
Is not connned to the homes where
they a re used, as might bc s upposed.
Within the last few dnj's our department has m a de the discove ry that a
milk dealer was using t he stationary
tubs In which his tamlly ,,'ashlng was
do ne for the washing of his milk bottlcs,

Milk Dealer's Offense,
" This m ilk dea ler otherwise conducted his establishment In a very cleanly
m a nner, a nd. as it was his first kn own
orre nse, t he department did not take legal proceedings aga inst him . But he
was e mphatically warned that this
practice must be s topped !orthwltll. a nd
that any r e petition ot It would be !ollowed by hi s arres t a nd prosecution.
He said that as his was htubs were always thoroughly ri nsed with clean wa ter atle r the tamlly linen wa s was hed
and o.s only clean water was used In
the washing of the bottles, he had never
thought th ere was any da.nge r. But
when we pointed out that disease germs
might be s pread through his tubs beIng unlined and absorbing the dirty
wa ter, he a dmitted there was good reason for this precaution and promised
earneslly that ho would never again
wash h is b ottles In his tubs.
"By enacting an O&lt;"dlnance calling tor
non-absorbent tubs and ImpOSing a penalty tor the use ot oth ers, the City will
be taking another step forward In the
matter ot lfUardlng t he public health."

the Briggs dairy In E lma while
cases ot the d l sea~ e existed in thE'
houses of the owner of the dairy an d
the man who milked the Briggs cows,
Dr. Greene believes such Inspection as
he proposes would h ave res ulted in a.
stoppage of the sale of mille f rom that
dairy much sooner than i t was stopped.
The evide nce gathered by Dr. Johnson
of the state board went to show that
the health physician of the town of
Elma, though he quarantined the El rna cases by placa rding the houses, did
not quarantin e the milk supply nor eve n
Inquire into the conditions at t he dairy.
It was, therefore, not u ntil a 'week O t'
lnore later, when the disease was t.raced
from th e c ity to the Briggs dairy. tha t
the sale of milk was stopped. If there
had been regular
dairy inspectors
charged with the sole duty of going the
rounds ot the co untry dairies that send
mtlk t o cities and, inspecling them carefully each week, In a ll probability, Dr.
Greene believes, they wou ld haye dis covered th e danger at the Briggs plant
much sooner, and p rotected the city
It.
inspectors as those Dr,
hopes to ohtain hy enactment
a sta te law. Health departments in
have w hat are known as milk in " I,e,:tors. b ut (heir le gal jurisdiction Is
£o'nn,ned to th e c ity, where they examine
mllkhouse and utensils or the redealers. In emergenc ies like the
lH.rI2C£S case they go into the country to
iP'CH.lnine the source of the milk supply,
they r eall y have no autl:orlty to do
FO. And, beside, It Is said their dutips
~n the city wou ld make it impo~~iblc fot'
them to make a systematic inspection
of all dair ies s ending milk into the c ity.
It fs said some dairi('s have not bren
jlnRPccted oftener than once in five
~ent·s.

Commissio ner Greene would like to
have the s tate ma ke pl'oviRion for the
appointme nt of a corps of such inspectors In the districts s upplying milk to
each . of lhe first -class cities. That
would Includ e Buffalo. It would not

a. they did t heir du ty and aftol'ded the

" !t is not scarlet fever alone that we
must g uard aga in s t in our milk supply,"
said the c ommissioner to an Exp ress
reporter las t night. "It has been found
t hat tubercu losis is imported to t he in habitants ot. cities thro ugh milk from

ROOSTERS

DAMAGES AWARDED
TO INSPECTOR CARLEY,
When Adolr Machholz's b ull dog bit
H ealth Inspector Joseph H . Car le y Inspector Carley we n t to see a doctor.
T hen he went home and c hange d his
t rousers . The pal l' he had on we re n ' t
prope r for street wear, wit h a pol1ceman o n nearly every corner. That's
why Inspec tor Carl ey sued Machholz
for $260 damages In lhe Municipal
Court. Today Judge Hammond made
a decision a warding him $50.
The
troub le
occurred In July.
Carley's
'Wounds a re now healed.
It wasn't on his own hook Carley got
Inlo trouble. He was deSignated to go
to Mac h holz's home, 123 K e ystone avenue, because co mp la int had been made
Mac hhol z m al ntained a n unsanitary
dog kenne l. Carley found the co mplaint
wa9 not fully jusllfied. The kennel was
clean enough, bu t the fact remai ned it
wasn'l a heallhy neighborhood tor inspectors or a ny other strangers.
This ,,·as a ll brought o ut In t he evidence taken o n the trial. The s umm ing
up ot the defendan t 's la wyer s ho ws Carley didn't try to walk backwards into
t he dog's mouth. The c hain broke w hlle
he was studying the bulldog's habits.
The dog got the rear en d of Ca rley before Ca rl ey co u ld get to a fence.
A
sample of Carley's c lothing is s tili dO-I
Ing d u ty as a part of t he dog's bed.
The defendant's answe r charges Ca rleY' t r ied to, use :M rs. Machholz as a
otfi leld to protect him fro m the do g and
t ha t' s what caused lhe dog to bite. The
a nswer 1n part follows:
" That p laintiff provoked the dog by
gazing fixedly a t the said dog; l hat the
do g lugged a t his chai n regarding the
p la lnUIt a s an Intrud er o n tbe premises.
The c halm b rok e.
"'The plai ntllt then g rabbed uefem:l an's wife a nd used her as a s hield,
throwing he r to the ground in his
struggles to get de re ndant's wi fe between him a nd the dog; tbat the dog
seeing his o wner thus assa ulted va lI iantly came to the resc u e a nd a ttempted
to p ull p laintiff o ff a nd break his

plalntilt was bitten at all, It was by
reason ot his unmanly te rror-stri cken

Russell Sa ge to save his own cr a ven
NotWithstanding th e strong de-tense,
Judge Hammond held the dog had no
business b l ttng a n Inspector w ho was
tn the ya rd in p UTsuance of his d uties.
He held Mac hholz Is liable to da mages
lo the extent of $50. w hich probably
covers the exuense ot medical a ttend ance and a lso wnl pay for a new pall'

" Mr. Chairman I think. this bill Is a n

Move in the Rigl:It Direction
HREATS of Health...C.Qll.l missioner Walte r D. Greene to prosecute any physician who fails to promptly report any case of
contagious disea e which he is called upon to treat, is a step in
the right direction, and if rigorou sly carried into execution, wi ll prove
or benefit to the people of the city by more thoroughly guarding against
the spread of disease.
The law is very plain in regard to pro mpt notification of th e Health
Department where contagious diseases a re k nown to exist, and the
placarding of the houses in which are cases of contagio n can only be
thoroughly done when physi cians \dlO are called to attend patients
thus affected are honest and faithful in the discharge of the dut ies they
o\\-e to the well.
In very many cases this requireme nt of the law is ignored by th e
physicians of the city, Some people have been so uncharitable as to
insinuate that the reason so many cases of carlet fev er, mea les and
diphtheria go unreported is because of the phy ician 's utter disregard
for the safety of those not affected-in fact, that they win k at the regulations for the reason that a spread of th e disease brings more business.
The E nquirer cannot belieye, however, that any reputable ph ys ician could so far forget his dut y to humanity as to willingly endanger
the li"es of any community for th e pnrpo e of fa ttening his ledger.
Rather, it would prefer to attribute th e neglect to a contempt for th e
pre\'ailing idea of danger from co ntagion, bred of familiarity with such
cases.
Long neglected enforcement of the law by th e H ealt h Depa rtment
itself has also been an encouragement to the docto rs not to observe the
ru les as-thoroughly as they should . Kn owing that the law is to be made
something more than a printed form, it is '-ery probable that the physicians will need no more forcibl e interpretation of the statute to induce
them to comply with its requirements.

Editor P eople's Colu m n :
Sir-The letters appearI ng In this column pertalnlng to t he t reatment of the
public at the hand s ot' th e public's ser,"ants are very InterestIng. I think
they are well founded and should Uke
to see the newspaper~u tslde of the
People's Columns-ta k e up the matter.
Buffalo has quite a reputa tion as a
nlF:gardly to'n-'Tl. In this respect, One
In~ldent brought to my atten tion was;
A boy. 14 years of age. who applied at
t,J:1 e H Ith --.De
tm.en t ror a certlfica t~
which would ' permlt bLm to go to work.
was dIrected to a certain young woman
clerk whose duty it was t o supply
lhese certificate, A f ter g lowering at
(he inotren5i"e lad, she told him If he
would walt until he was 16 years .,ld be
wouM not need a certificate. Evidentlr
~he found her work disagreeable,
And ~o it goes. In theaters. stores
and e"t:'n in the busines s o ffices of newspapers one encounters the ~e human iC"' -}
bergs dally. But then. In one sens • . It'8
the publk's fault.
T hpy
ou~bt
to
report more of these cases than they
do.

From de-tailed C'onVE'f"!!Iatlons concerni ng symptoms and other f£'ature~ ot the

&lt;Zhildren's Safety Is Paramount

I

EALTH COMMf"33fC}NER GREENE returned from New
.'
York yesterday, where he had been in co nsultation with the '
head of the New York health department relative to legisla.
tion to be sought at the coming session of the State lawmakers, providing for a means by which a fund can be obtained to be expended
in a more careful and extended inspection of milk intended for consumpLion in this city.
Dr. Greene desires the enactment of a law which will compel dairy
farmers in the vicinity of Buffalo to pay a certain fee for the delivery.
of milk in the corporate limits.
In urging such legislation the Health Commissioner take~ t~1e
ground that by having inspectors visit the dairies weekly much good
could be accomplished in preventing the spread of contagious diseases
like 'scarlet fever, which in many cases, it is believed, originate in the
farmhouses and are communicated to children in the city through
. contaminated milk.
It is an unfortunate fact that in too many dairies but scant regard
for cleanliness is held, and much filth is allowed to dissolve in the
lacteal supply disp ens ed to their customers by these careless and inconsiderate milkmen .
If Dr. Greene's proposed plan should materialize, the inspectors
would be able to fix responsibility for the spread of dangerous diseases, and, besides, the knowledge that they were under constant
surveillance would serve to impress upon the farmers' minds the
necessity of bett er sanitary conditions abo ut their farm buildings, a~
well as greater ca re in handling the product of their dai ri es while in
transit to the consumer.
It appears that th e New York offi cial approves of Dr. Greene's
suggestions, and is likely to lend his aid to the fu rtherance of the proposed plan of legislation. Of course, there is likely to be vigorous
opposition from the producer, but it appears most probable that the
people of the cities will heartily approve any plan which is likely to
contribute a degree of safety to their little ones. Scarlet fever is one
of the most terrible diseases to wh ich children are exposed, and any
measure which will tend to lessen the possibility of sp reading the contagion should be welcomed by every citizen who has the good of the
general public at heart.

MANY GROWN-UPS
AMONG THE VICTIMS
Buffalo Is now In the thi c k of an
epidemic or m easles and accord ing to
~n estimate m ade yesterday by Registrar of Vital Sta.tlsti cs G r am ot the
H ealtll D e pal·tment th e re are thousands 0 cases. M ore than 600 cases
''.:ere reported to the depart ment In
1'0\'ember by physicIans In a ttendance. Experience shows that the
cases lhus repor t ed are rare ly m ore
than 40 pel' cent. of the total numbe r ,
as s ome parents On learning th a.t the
complaint trom which a child Is sutferlng Is measles will dismiss the physiCian and do not call tn one when th e
oth er members of th e fami ly are taken
with the disease. It Is in this w a y
that thou~ands of cases may and do
exist wi th out an y knowledge of thetl1
reaching the Health Department.
There nave been some deaths from
measles, but the percentage o f fataItties has not been large as yet, showing
that tlte d isease ex ists In a mild form .
.M easles is al'ways mOre Or Jess pre v- ..
al~nt at thts season of the year, but
that It was at present e pidemi c was
oot noticed until abo ut two weeks ago
when the department was deluged
I wit h reports tronl the southeastern
seclion of the ci ty. Public School No.
! 31 at P eck h am and Emslie
streets
seemed to b e the c hief point of tr oub le.
as dozens of cases were reported by
PrinCipal
De
Groat.
Some tlmldI mInded
folk s went to H ealth Com missioner Greene a.nd wanted him to
c lose the schoo l, but be refused to do
so. Instead, h e orde r ed that chl1dren
from all families In which m easles
h'td occurred should be excluded trom
t~ school.
Wh en this was done cond lOllS In School No. 31 began to ImPI' ve at once and It Is be li eved that
the disease has worn Hself out t h e r e .
In the meantime the epidemic h as
spread rapidly, until It has beco me
general. there being no part of th e
city which is exempt. R epo rts of new
cases run from twenty-five to lorty
dally.
H ouses in which there Is measles are
not quarantined. as In the ca&amp;e oC othel'
contagio us diseases, the inmates being
allowed to COInP an'd go as they please,
except that children fr om such households are exc luded trom th e schools.
How e\'cr. the Health Department takes
all possible precautions to pre\'ent a
spread of the disease, and when a case
of measles Is reported to It. It at once
transmits thl~ int'ormation to the I
""hool of the Inte rested dlstrlci. slm- 1
11al' informatton IR conveyed to the
public library t h at It may dls lnteet a ny
books which mny haye been borrow~d
by persons living a L the house where

..f)" opinion hande d down by the New
Y . rk Court of Appeals affirming the
collslltutlona lity of the tem' men t house

contravention of the constitutional rights
or Citizens own ing tenement houses In
that it took away private property without compensation never had a l eg to
stand upon, and the money s pent In the
effort to establish this contention was
chiefly of advantage to the lawyers. The
State, in the e xercise of its reasonable
pollee powers, has the rlgh t to say that
only under certain conditions shall property of a certain class b e used for certain
purposps . Under these same powers It
has t h e right to say that property not

sa! 'ary r equ irements ; and If such a
law as t he owners want could be
" jamm ed " through the Legislature, the
30vernor who failed to veto it promptly
and unconditionally would be less wise
than any Governor we have had a t AIbany In many years.
The b es t and cheapest course open to
the tenement house owners Is to comply
with the law, or, Il th ey will not do this,
to use their bu ildings for other purposes.
That they h ave not seen this without
cos tl y litigation a ttests the wisdom of
those who were Ins trumental In securing
the passage of the present law and who
are pledged to Its defense against a ll eftorts to subvert it or r epeal It.

The contention that to deny an owner
the right to use a s a tenement house a
building not suited to t h a t p urpose Is
equivalent to taking away his property
without compensation Is a s a bsurd as to
maintain a like conl'entlon If the owner
of a building Is not permitted to use It as
a storehouse fo r dynamite or other high

I clearly an exercise of the police powers
of the State, and a very reasonable use

the ooel en use of bumane nntl snnl·
tary rpatment of prisoners In the
Erie County Penitentiary Is cut out
by tbe Pres\!lent of tbe Stnte Prison
C-omml,ston as a result of his recent
examination of that Instltntion. One
of :.\11'. Jaeckel's sngp;estlons Is the reUlo'l'al of the penitentiary to a hetter
site a way froUl the heart of tbe city.
Pending cons1&lt;leratlon of thts excel-lent proposal, or of ways and mean,
to carl'Y It Into effect. :'\lr. Jneckel
• woul(l hn'l'e the penllentlnry Impl',)\'Nl
In SOUle way.. One of these sup;grstions whlcb has nn Interest for people
who do not Il'l'e In prison Is that the
bake shop sball not be In a dark. 11\'l'entllated cellar. The bread eaten by
a good mnny free people In Buffalo Is
Ulnde In cellnrs.
Here Is a pointer for the Health DepartUl!"nt. Let the bakerl('s be Inspected just once more nOll let ~lr .
I Jaeckel's suggestion be applied. ,,'hat
is not good enongh for felons Is not
good enough for better folks.

WItA r VI?, TItOMA SAYS,

Among
e many physicIans who
,
have 1nte111 en tly examined the s ubject
and who have tormed defin ite conclusions Is Dr. Fridolln Thoma at 107~
Lovejoy street. D r. Thoma said to a
NE'W'S reporter:
"Let me t~ll you a n experience th
surgeons at the Ge rman Deaconess'
Hospita l had one morning las t week .
They had tn perform a n operation, a nd
the necessity was such tha~postpone ...
ment was out ot the qu est n. There
was no water on the secon floor, ana
the doctors were obUged to e sparing
at water used tor the scr u bbing up
preparatory to the operation. ThInk or
such a condition as that In a civilized
country, with a human Ute at stake,
and this.. too, in the second city ot the
Empire State! .yet. I have only gIven
a single instance whIch ha.ppened to
come w ithin my own observation. Suppose everyone in the cl ty should tell
his experience in the water famine. Thb
total would be an avalanche ot prates;
a.nd complain t strong enough to shake
the supineness at soma ot the powera
that be."
"How should the existing st.ate at at·
fatrs be remed ied so as to insure t he
city a pure a nd permanent water s up ..
ply?" was a sked.
"In my opinion the solution ot the
water problem lies in a reservoir in t he
hills a long the lake shore, the water to
be' carried to Buffalo by gravitation.
You people of the NEW'S have a dvocat ..
ed lha t Idea. but it has not been taken
up by the authorities. It wo uld be a
simple matter tor the City Engineer's
offlce to find out the highest pOint In
the hills, which are a t DO Impracticable
distance, a nd to give us figures tram
which might be derived a tair estimate
.. as to the possibility and the cost or
J buildIng a reservoir. That one could
, be co nstructed I have no doubt, an d I
believe that opinion 1n t avor of such a
i project Is more prevalent than Is geD ..
, erully kno·wn,
"We are paying tQday 10 ce nts a gal.
•I Ion tor the water we drink. You can
boll the water, a nd it Is dirt: you can
filtrate It a nd It still remains dirt.
. "Now, whether the water that WOuld 1
be pumped Up, say at Idlewood, Which,l
I think, Is the high point, would b.
clearer than the water down .here I
don't know, but whether yOU hav~ a
filter p lant or not there Would be a
I chance tor sedimentation. It the bottom ot the reservoir became dirty It
could bE- c leaned out at a time when the
I pumps down a t the Intake pier would

[I words, whUe the reservoir was being
.i cleared the pres en t pumps could be set

Four  16” x 10” (40.6 cm x 25.4 cm) “scrapbooks” with a total of 789 pages of articles from Buffalo, Western New York and other newspapers were discovered in the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection at the Health Sciences Library.  The time period covered is October 31, 1901 through June 14, 1906.  The subject matter runs the gamut from public health issues such as disease outbreaks in the city and elsewhere, sewage, water, food and milk purity, tenements and animal control to Buffalo and area politics.  There are numerous images and cartoons as well.  These articles were apparently compiled by a “clipping service,” in Buffalo.&#13;
&#13;
The other interesting aspect of this collection is the fact that Buffalo had so many newspapers at that time. The articles were taken from papers including the News, the Courier, the Enquirer, the Times, the Review and the Express. There are also clippings from Buffalo’s German language newspapers.

the

Intereetlng results of experlmenls at
the New York Quarantine StaUon wltb

He also referred to the InQ.ulry COlnr
on at hi. own and otber AlMtlcan
laboralorlps as to the value of copper

to nearly 200,000,000 gallons a day, som~­
times more. sometimes less. The only
reserve supply. outside of what is in
the mains, is that in Best street reservoir, the big twin-lake out by Masten
Park High School.
Buffalo has just one reservoir. It
co~;ers 20 acres of ground. In case ot
a. famine the city would always have
116,000,000 gallons in reserve, wblch,
considering the amount pumped every
day, is not very mucb, Altbougb the
re~en'oir Is built on one of the highest
points In Buffalo, It Is only 113 feet
above the level or the lake.
Imagine an Americcan c(ty without a
water ~upply! No taps in the kitchen
or bathrooms. no sewers to carry away
the dirt, and no f'tearn for heating! To
reallze what it means one must live in
a city that is suddenly cut off from Its
supply for a week or 80.
The Y'ancouver water supply comes
from a mountain stream, CapUano
creek, across Burrard Inlet. In early
days th~ single big main was not so far
below the surface ot the water as to escape the keel of a vessel that sbould
Iniss its channel. The captain of a particular boat that ran (rom Victoria to
Yancouver had [ l little habit of ,unnlng
'lrros!( the maIn on hIs way into the
'Jarbor and cutting it and Incidentally
/,uttlng at'( the city's water supply. Then
the water carts would ply the city. dealtng out go many gallons of water to
I ~at:h hom~e every day.
until the pipe
waR mended. It Is surprisIng what an
inconvenience it is to have to wash out
sinks by throwing palls or water Into
them. But it i" al60 surprising how far
a barrel of water gOE's.

Ulw the peoplp on tha.t sea bound poInt
mentioned In the foregoing. In BuITalo
It is only neces~ary to visit a tenement
or any old building \\'h~re the plumbing

is out or order to know that there Is absolutely no restraint placed upon the
quantity consumed, In dark, musty
corridors the taps drip away. making
many a little stagnant backwater,
where the wily germ may rear his famIly, Then there Is the thrifty housewl1e
who turns on all the taps every cold
night to save a possible plumber's blJl
and the worry connected with it. It tbe
wllter were limited, she would remember that a tiny dribbling stream will
keep up sumclent motion in tbe pipe to
prevent Ice from settling tbere, and that
1a deluge Is not necessary.

Chairman Halra or tbe aldermanic

nlght's meeting a letter from Wllllam
F. Squire. secretn.ry ot the executive

'\Vhat to do was a f')ue~tion. l\fove the

perplexity, Chairman Baffa. saw light.
""'hy

the chorus. The committee then 501emnly moy£'rl, seconded, voted upon and
carriro a re~olution reeommending the
shortening of the offending ,,,'rench.
"Wo ought to gel medals for thi' bit

The C'ommlttpe then settled trown to

saw that not a moment was ''''asted In

finalh' two outsiders fUTlllshed the capItal and I

Location,
The present location was a "cry de.sirable
one at that time, because the reservOIr was
upon high land and but a short distance away.
The water in the river was not polluted bv r

great dlsadYantage belllg ~he swift current,
which made It rOll) .
The plan. were submitted to and approved
by a ::I1r. ::II cAlpine. un engineer, and lhe contract let for $375.000. Ground wa~ broken for
the shait and tunnel July 2Uth. 1~;;0. The works
were completed at 11 A. ~l. January 2, 1b52,
Progress.
Thev were enlarged In 1bU~ and agaIn in
Ib ;0. • They ha, e Sllice been enlarged severa l
tlIl1CS.
:'Ileantlllle the town has grown from
lillie more than a ",llage to a large CIty, An Ill take p,er has been placed In an eight-mile raceway; the nearby re,:,crVOlr has been n1uved
away. as the Health Department "ated t he
wala wa" not healthy; expensIve experts
ha,'" been called tu pruYe that It was. ::I1eanwbtle the people who could attord it drank bOltied water, and the poor died of typhoid, etc.
Howeyer, on the whule in the past, w hen you
conSIder that any really expert engllleer which
the \\ater Department bas bad at its head has
Deen hampered by politic., we are surprised to
learn that the \\ ater Department is one of the
iew city departments which has paid "xpenses
and made muney. The City has now outgrowlI
the patched-up pumping stallon. The':-&lt;. Y. C.
R. H.., with its erer heavier grOWll1g engmes,
has made the locattun of the present pumpIng
station a dangeruus one. People do not want
water which 111 winter 15 taken from a raceway
lull of tine ice and the wells full of dirt f rom
many wurkmen, and other impurittes. If the
present .tat'"n and tlte current of the river
must be u.eu, let It be used to generate ct",,_
tTlClty tu pump water up ll1to the Hamburg
hills.
Water Meters.
\Yith regard to water meters it seems to the
IVriter of thiS arttcle as the culmination of a
long Ii:;t u[ aSlIllne suggestions and actlOns,
to think that with unlImited power and water
at our door that even the 11l1pure water whIch
the people get now must be restricted and the
"ewers go wi thout theIr proper amount of
flushing. It has been said that with water
meter, $100,000 per year might be saved, and
•t WIlS stated thal meters cuuld be had as cheap
.is $6 apiece, It :,eems to me that one, two or
three for every piece of property, the city
would make the saving of $100,000 a year in
.eakagc a vcry expensive saving and slush Ice
,,"ould fill them up."
The Ductor's position against the adoption
uf water meters is worthy of seriotts considerdtion, as well as his tatement that a conSIderation fur ultimate economy would dictate the
establishment of reservoirs in the Hamburg
hills a vcry expensi"e expedient. to which this
paper is by no means willing to pledge itself.

So spoke Dr. \Ynlter D. Green.e. Buffalo's health commissioner. yeSTerday in
reference to his recent trip to Cuba. Be

I the American Public Health Assocla• tion, but had his eyes open all the way

well receind at the seSSion and sevel'al
other cities are to try the plan he suggested. Having been elected to the ad· visory council as New York representatiYe. Dr. Greene "'iIl assist in making
up the ticket for the next election, to be
· held in the 1905 session In Boston at the
end of this year.
"So far as I waS able to learn. and I
sked ali I met, I found only one other
lace than Buffalo that disinfects Its
choolbooks," said he. "That is Bruns'ick, lI1e., and the health official there
said they had been using the idea even
before Buffalo took up the work. Here
Buffalo we ha,'e cut the scarlet-fever
figure in half. No effect is had on diphtheria, possibly because of the germ beg vegetable in nature, whereas the
arlet-fever organism Is animal.
"On the way down, I stopped off at

Irs. Cleveland's mother.
There are

aunts.
"Havana is fuli of remarkable things,

'n

1,000,000 people on the Island while now
the flgure Is put at Ilbout 600,000 mare.

The island's death-rate is about sixteen.
"You can tell that the island has seen
war. There are no children, dogs, cats
Or chickens to speak of.
Ca ttle had
been kUled off, too, but many head are
being imported from Mexico. The dogs
were killed because they could warn the
enemy.
The chickens wel'e killed for
food and the children died off and no
others took their pillce.
The island,
however. is getting bach to normal condition again.
"Havana's waterworks are adlnira ble.
'Nlne miles from the city. at Yento, are
two springs within a quarter of a mile
of each other and each throws up about
28,000,000 gallons a day, regular rivers
both. An aqueduct takes the water to
the city reservoir. I heard that the
city takes about 14.000,000 galions a day,
uses 7.000,000 a. day and lets the res~
run away. The wnter Is vel'Y pure to
drink. but it is not good for the laundry because it has lime and magnesia
in It. These waterworks cost tbe city
so much that the one great thing the
City needs, and must some time haye, a
modern sewer system, can't be built
because the bonds can't be floated. But
it will come some time.
"There are no better sanitarians anywhere than Carlos J. Finlay and John
Guiteras, Havana's health officials. Dr.
Finlay is the discoverer of the fact that
mosquitoes can convey yellow fever.
These men have done much for Havana.
Pavement stones, formerly buried under two or three feet of filth and rubbish, now see the light of day and are

appears to the Chronicle that the
re ctlon ot the ~Iayor's term to two
Years ' .. Hhout the reduction of the term.
ot other prominent officers would inevitably Increase the embarrassments
that already heavlly hanelicap the head
ot the executive branch of the city government. "Such an extraordinary mixture or official terms," says that paper
• "taken In connectl9n with tile exlStl ... ~
IIlQglcal and incongruous mixture of
elective and appointive offices, would
not, In all probability, produce hetter results than does the exIsting system."
The term ot Fire Commissioners, Police
Commissioners. Assessors and Park
Commissioners is six years, the term ot
the He.flJth Commissioner and School
Examiners five years, and the term ot
the Councllmen, the Commissioner ot
Publlc Works, the Corporation- Counsei,
the Oomptroller, the Treasurer and the
Superintendent ot Education is four
years.
The Chronicle pOints out that "under
the amended Charter the CommiSSioner
ot Public Works has far more official
patronage and official intluence than has
the Mayor. Why elect him for four
years and the Mayor for only two?"
asks the Chronicle, which adds: "There
are the two other great departments,
fire and pollce. The Fire Commissioners and the Pollee Commissioners are
appointed by the Mayor for terms ot
six years. It is possible anel probable
that a two-year Mayor would not have
the oppOrtunity of making elesirable and
desired changes in these boards wilhout the drastic method of removal on
charges, even though the interests of
the departments and public sentiment
called tor a reorganization of the
boaras. The churning process or a
thorough puhUc discussion of the subject mlgh t result in a generally accepted conclusion that it would b'e a wise
public policy to reduce the 1I1ayoralty
term to two years, but the chances are
that this conclusion would have a pro\'180 for the reel uction of the official term
ot several other offices."
The term ot the Commissioner of Public Works should be reduced to two
years, or. he should be made an appointee of the 1I1ayor. The other elective officerS' referred to do not receive
any such great powers from the people
that there is any necessity that their
use of them should be reviewed
ottener than is now the rule. The
Chronicle may be arguing for consist·
ency. It so, it should remember that
ours is not a consistent or logical form
of city government at the best. As for
the appointive comrnissionerships, the

Chronicle might remember that they
are not filled all in one year. The terms
or the various sets at commissioners are
arranged so that there is aiways fresh
blood flowing in and out of the departments over which they have charge.
Seldom does anyone mayor h'1ve the

appointing of al1 the supervisory head.
for anyone department.
An ideal form of municipal goYernment might be to have only a few
councilOrs chosen by the people. they
to be the reslJonsible governing body

and appoint all tbe heads of departments. The 1I1a),or himself might be
chosen from among the councilors. But

we are far from the tdeal, and the best
lha t can be done is to patch up the
system "ve hn ve at any point where it
brealts dO,,,'n conspicuously. And we

think the Chronicle will agree wItll
The Express that four year. is too long
a lerm to give to any mayor of the kind
our syst.em gives us.

�Citizens Invited to Attend
Meeting at City Hall
Thursday Night to Discuss Proposed Bill Creating Commission.
DR. GREENE ASKS FOR
MOREINSPECTOR~
Ald. Wedeklndt, chairman of the Committee on Laws and Legislation, announced yesterday that a public hearing will be held Thursday evelling at
the City Hall on the proposed blll to
crea t~ a commissIon, wlthou t pay, to
supervise the construction or a munlcipa! electric llghtlng and power plant.
This bill has been pending before the
committee for several weeks and the
delay of the committee was the cause
of a wordy scrap last Thursday atternoc,n between the chairman of the committee and Lewis Stockton of the Referendum League.
All who are in favor of an electric
llghiing plant to be owned and operated
by the city, also those opposed to It,
are iuvited to attend the hearing. The
committee Is declared to favor a municipal plant, but opposed to a commission,
even It it did not receive any compensation tor its services. They want the
Commissioner of Public Works to run
the lighting plant. as he runs the waterworks and other publlc service agencIes.
ESTL'UATE

Col. Ward has already been directed
to prepare an estimate of cost of the
Ughtlng plant, to be submitted to the
Common Council in thlrty days, which
time wlll expire in a week or two.
Friends of the municipal lighting plant
urge bUSiness men's associations and
other organizations to send representa- I
tlves to the hearing Thursday night.
Chairman Wedeklndt announced that
at the same ttme the committee w1ll
take action on the question of filling
vacancies in the Grade CrOssingS Commission. Corporatlon Counsel Feldman
In a communication notified the board
yesterday that the notice for application
to fill the vacancies by the Supreme
Court wlU have to be disposed of by the
court by February 6th.
Commissioner of He~ lFe made
a request for the appointmen of five
additional Inspectors for the coming
fiscal year at $1,000 each salary. He
has now two men who do that work,
one at $1,000 and the other at $800. Dr.
Greene says the ~xtra men are neC'essary to protect the citizens against disease in the milk. He calculates that
Buffalo consumers get milk from 800
different producers scattered all over
Western New York, and the Inspectors
ought to Inspect the herds of cattle
from w],lch the milk comes and follow
it untH it reaches the consumer. His
I request was sent to the Committee on
Ordhlsnces.
Ald. Martin had 3 resolution adopted
directing the Corporation Counsel to
I draft a bll\ requiring persons who bring
claims against the city for defeetlve
sidewalks to notify the Commissioner of
Public Works belpre they can recover
from the city.

dIctions In 1896 and Is reInforced by
references to changes In currents
rnacle by the breakwaters and by the
buildIng of a new city at the steel
plant, part, at least, of whose sewage,
Mr. Fuller says, finds Its way Into the
lake.
So here Is the proposItion these
two experts reach, and with which
Col. Ward Is satIsfied-to build an·
other Intake In lhe river at a cost of
a m1ll10n dollars or more, to get more
slush Ice, owing to the velocIty of th"
current poInted out by Mr. HerIng; to
be followeu by the constructIon of a

Greene says the Inspectors 'l"ould b" I

commissioner cited a casp last year In

Dr. Greene suggested that the Inspectors to be appOinted be Yeterlnarlans,
who have a knowledge of cattle, and
would be able to judge whelher or not
a cow was in a condition to provide

pure milk. Alderman Gorman thought
the matter should be pr ..sented to the
Board ot Supervisors, as the Inspectors

wculd be doing their work In the county, Dr, Greene thought that the beneflts would be for the cit~' alone, and for
tha t reason the inspeCtors should be

~jll ebody or some corporation is
disptaying considerable perniCIOUS actlVlty In advocating a metering system
for the city water supply,. but great
care is taken not to make public any
definite statement as to the cost of
meters, or as to who is to bear the
burden thereof. One thing is very
sure, as far as housekeepers are concerned, and that is they would find
themselves very much hampered in
many ways if the water supply is curtailed by the use of meters. The muni.cipal affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce has taken this subject under consideration and should
be able, after careful investigation, to
make an intelligent report.

F . C. Hebbard, or A. F. l'hnpman &amp;
Co., {'ontradors at -72 "~hite BUildIng,
Who is a man of wide experience In
general contracting buglness, promptly
answered
the
question
yest"rday;
"What Is ~'our opinion as [0 the best
means of furnl ..hlng the clly of Bufa lo with water?"
I'The grayltatlon system with a rf'!l:ervoir for dl~lribution I~ the only proper
?ne [or Buffalo," replied ~lr. Hebbard .
"My l&lt;lea ot a water supply for the city
Is a pumping station lotcated at any
suitable point along the lake shore
south ot the Steel Plant, with an Intake running into Lake Erie. The Intake ought to be beyond the storm line."
"With what object?"
"To ~('t clear water. That would always a~sur~ water of the same degree
o! purity as that al the Emerald reef,
'and yOU eliminate all elements of slush
Ice, clampers, etc. It occurs to me that
Emerald reef would be a great place
tor clamper~, fnr they are prone to form
'lnd ('oHf'ol't In shallow' \\ ater. Clamp£&gt;Ts
YOU know. are ftlmply very largtl cakes
ot Ice; their size Is so gr.at that m.ve
In quite deep wat .. r they reach 10 the
bottom and catch there, and the Emerald reet water I. shallow.
DANGE R :! OF E M E RALD CHANNl!L.
u,,"hat t~ to prevent the reoccurrence
of the same thing wblch has happened
I'n our present Intake? It Is a pO'8I),llIty '[hat a "essel might be wr"cked
at the mouth or the lake or rlnr and
drlrt don'n on the intalte, whereas with
a plant up the lak .. and an Intake In
the lake, such a thing would be almost
Inconceivable. I don't know of a thing
In thp range of possibility which could
happen to an Intake situated· In Lake
Erl .. , which could shut off our water
supply."
"\Ybat nr rpspprUve co~t of plantft?"
HI am not prepared to say. as I have
not gone Into It deep enough, but the
cost or maintenance ot the plant I suggest would he far le"s. It Is well understood that gravity dl"trlbutlon Is the
cheap ... t known methods of delivering
wat .. r. The matter of co.t ought not
to enter Into con.ldpration of the water
supply subject ~o long n. we Insure the
city or Burralo for the present and the
future n pr-rmanent and suffiCient sup~
ply of pure, good water.
"Syracuse, Roche~ter, and all cities
~where It Is practlca.ble, have the lake
Intake and gra"lly distribution method.
Syracuse and Rochester have a~ tine
wntel' HuppJles as any cities In thp
United Sl"te~, and they both get water
from" lake and distribute It by graylty.
The Intake ot 1he ~)'racuse .ystem I.
located 5000 teet out In Skaneateles

The Intake crib Is on the bottom of the

Apparently th'e claims that new machinery is needed at the pump:ltig 8tation have not been unwarranted, and it is unfortunate that the
dilatory tactics of the Aldermen should have in a way been responsible
for the death of a workman, But politics control in the Aldermanic
Board, regardless of everything else.
There should be a prompt and thorough investigation of the causes
accountable for yesterday's accinent, and if there are responsible parties,
they should suffer for their neglect.

e controversy on this subject Is
so
despread and has given rise to
so much !riction In the enforcement
ot laws requ iring such a measure .of
prevention that a decision of the Untted States supreme court as to the constitutionality of such measures Is at
much interest- The supreme court
holds that compulsory vaccination

authority of state legislatures 1.0 bs
cause for the public good and not tn
derogation of the personal guarantees
Or personal liberty. The plaintiff contonded the law was void, as being contrary to the preamble of the constitution, alld of the 14th amendment; that
vaccination did not protect and was
dangerous.
,Justice Har~ said the court was
unwllling lo hold It to be an element
In the lib crt y .ecured by the const!.
tutlon that one person. or a rulnorlt1
In allY connty, should have the jlower

Illd not i!'1part an nMolute right In

Senator Woods Wants Opinit)ns
of Influential Men to Use
at Harrisburg.
A bill aeaUng with the waterwal'll ot
the State to be brought up at Harrisburg On Tuesday J9 causing apprebt'nston
among PIttsburg legislators. and the attention of. large manufacturing interests
centering In Pittsburg I. to be calied to
It_ Fear Is manltested that the bill will
curtail building operations and will Interfere with plans now made by municipalities nnd manufacturing corporations.
An amendment wl1l be presented by Stnte
Senator W, S, Woods ot Pittsburg on
Tuesday. which. if passed. will make the
measure more to the liking at Pittsburgers. Senator Woods Is anxIous to
get Into communication ~ 1 th mnnufac ..
turers end builders ot the city and learn
their wishes In the matter.
"For the Purification ot the waterror
the State" Is the title at the bill. alld
tor the most part 1t rela.tes to the duty
ot the Commissioner ot
posi..
tion another bit} creates, It provIdes
that the commissioner shall have the
power to Issue writt.en permits to municipa.Uttes. corporations and individuals who
desire to erect water works. and that
w1thout tho signed permtts. given a.fter
due examination ot all the plans and
speolfications, no such buildings shall be
erected. It al~o provides that wIthout
the v.ritten permit ot the commissioner
no addltJonal sewage, trom new bulldlnga
or tram any 80urce, may flow Into lhe
rivet's of the State,
OpPofiitlon the the bUI arises from the
fAct that the measure is said to pluco
too much power in the ha.nds ot tho
man, and Is too sweeping in character,

The water Is excellent for drinking purposes. but on aceoun t of the lime and

It is somewhat surprising that the

«Isease.
Scarlet fever is one of the most serious contagious diseases with
which physicians have to contend, The mortality from this cause is
undoubtedly greater than from any other infectious disease common
to dense population. Even if the patient recovers, the effects are
quite frequently very serious-more so than even in smallpox or
diphtheria.
In no case should more care be exercised to guard a spread of
the contagion than in scarlet fever, yet judged by the case of Ehde,
scant regard for public safety was shown. If the man was guilty, it
would seem that the punishment should have been of a character to
prove a warning to other possible violators of the law; if he was not
guilty, then he should not have been forced to contribute to the city's

he Aldermanic Committee on OrnanCf"!=I voted yesterday afternoon to
{;
amend the cIty ordinances permitting
Health CommlOo'5loner Greene to hire
three more mIll{ iniipl!l&gt;tors at $1.000
each and a. labor ..tory as",stant at $900.
Dr. Greene had asked Cor five more
Inspectors, but the commIttee thought
he ought to try and get along with
thre. Cor the present. There Is one
Inspector In th .. depa rtment now, The
purpose ot Dr. Greene Is to have the
sources ot the clty's milk &amp;&lt;Ipply In the
country inspected so that any inferior
or diseased milk may be stopped at
the farms,
Several representatives of organized
labor spoke before the committee in
fa,'or ot additional inspectors. Including J ohn Coleman. Dr. Greene read
lette-rs from business men's aSSOCiations &lt;,nd the Chamber ot Commerc.e
end()rslng 1M appllca lion. The extra
amount "'111 have to be placed In the
estimates tor the fiscal year, beginning
July 1st. If the Common Council
adopt. the commlttee's report and the
ext r .. men 8 re engaged they wUl have
to be taken Crom a olvil serVice list.

tends to recommend to

council In tho near future the auO)}
tlOn of an ordfnanco requirIng that all
dog owuers keep them In leash while
on the streets. While conilned In a
yard the dogs need not be tied, but
they must not be allowed to rUn at
large either muzzled or unmuzzled.
"Severaf neople have been bitten
by mad dogs lately, and either \.he
victim or the cIty Is put to consld&lt;-rable expense In such cases sendIng
the patients to New York for truatment," said Dr. Greene.
"The only w&lt;,y hydrophobia Is
spread among dOogl! Ie by a mat! dog
t&gt;iting anolher. It dogs are l{P.P: In
leash they will not spreru1 the I ILble3.
That is why I propose the leashing
or~lnance. Muzzl!ng Isn't eITtlctlve,
because some dogs can work t&gt;lf theIr
I muzzles an(l anyhow they are liable
to be bitten by a mad dog runnfng at

HenrV' Becker one of the merchants
on the 'Elk Street Market, says: .. 'Bob'

I have seen It passed by the Inspectors
or both the local and State Departments. Few people know what 'bob'
veal Is. and can hardly recognize It.

" Had the Counc1l.lnen today granted
the request for more Inspectors. the
' bob' veal question would be settled
at the same lime as the milk question.
The trouble with the Aldermen Is that
th.y do not realize the Importance of
the request.
Dr. John H, Grant , Deputy Commissioner of Agriculture In the State
Department. said last night :
"Vi"e had a clash ..'!th the local
Health Department .orne years ago
over the same question and at that
time It was claimed our tnSpec[OTS dId

we ~howed them th"t we did."

ERHAPS unthinkingly, but none the less certainly, the great
majority of the electors of the State last fall voted for a t:OI\o
tinuance of Odellism in the control of public affairs in New
.York. There is no disguising the fact that the new administratioa,
whose pre-election promises were most hopeful, are strongly permeated
with the tainted and unwholesome atmosphere of the old.
There is the same utter disregard of the people's rights, the samt
insane desire to increase the means of revenue to meet the demands
of an e-xtravagant and corrupt conduct of public business; the
treacherous bartering of the interests of the taxpayers as covered tilt
preceding administration with reproach.
Refusal to enquire into the purchase of the Baker farm as a aile
for a new State hospital, refusal to investigate the Republican policy
of indirect taxation, refusal to accept amendments designed to ptevent fraud in the cOllnt under the new enumeration, refusal to cut
down expenses of the metropolitan elections bureau, refu~al to •
the Betts Highway Manual Graft law-all these are but indicatiolll
that, though Odell be absent, Odellism remains.
An excellent illustration of the special privilege legislation wbik
characterizes the work of the o~erwhe1ming Republican majority II
Albany this year is found in the bill of Assemblyman Charles BfOIib
of the 5th District, providing for an increase of salary for the inspcdlll'l
of the Health nepaW'!ent. Shall that meaSure become a law,
mean the saddling of an additional $12,000 annually upon the 1111'
payers, which would not only establish a bad precedent, but is eIIIiRlJ
unwarranted in the premises.
Had a strong movement been under way to sec~r:e 5,ueb ..
vance there would have been some excuse ~or the A$em~
action. But there was none. Even the head of the departmeDf~
never asked or sought the introduction of the bill_ Assemblyman BroaIit
assumed that he might secure a certain amount of political c:apitIl!t
pushing the bill through, and as in the case of the 65 th Arsenal_
hill. '." i~ forced to shoulder the entire responsibility.
. .to.JttI
hl'l lid such representation of Erie County be aUow~d to COIIIJIS
it may result in an appeal somewhat siltJilar to
the aI:IJ
tion of the Board of Aldermen, only in the case m question It wII1l1t
gest the abolition of the lower house of the Legislature. The SenatId
can do mischief enough.

her third. anll only 8 tenth behind Utica
and Auburn. which lead with 14 out of
each 1,0000 population. Not only do
.tatistics pro\"1' that Buffalo i8 one of
the healthiest citieB in the State, but
ranks favorably with any in the world,

Four  16” x 10” (40.6 cm x 25.4 cm) “scrapbooks” with a total of 789 pages of articles from Buffalo, Western New York and other newspapers were discovered in the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection at the Health Sciences Library.  The time period covered is October 31, 1901 through June 14, 1906.  The subject matter runs the gamut from public health issues such as disease outbreaks in the city and elsewhere, sewage, water, food and milk purity, tenements and animal control to Buffalo and area politics.  There are numerous images and cartoons as well.  These articles were apparently compiled by a “clipping service,” in Buffalo.&#13;

The other interesting aspect of this collection is the fact that Buffalo had so many newspapers at that time. The articles were taken from papers including the News, the Courier, the Enquirer, the Times, the Review and the Express. There are also clippings from Buffalo’s German language newspapers.  Use of the clipping collection is now available through four acid-free, bound paper copies.&#13;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;Composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987) was best known for his association with the New York School of experimentalist musicians, including composers John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown, and pianist David Tudor. In addition to composing approximately 150 works, Feldman also wrote more than three dozen articles about various aspects of music and art. Feldman was a member of the music department faculty at the State University of New York at Buffalo from 1972-1987. During those years he served as Slee Professor of Music 1972-1973, Edgar Varèse Professor 1975-1987, and Director of the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, 1976-1980. He was also responsible for creating the June in Buffalo festival of contemporary music in 1975.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Morton Feldman Photographs, 1939-1987 are one component of the Morton Feldman Papers held by the Music Library. The online photograph collection consists of fifty four images, including snapshots and formal photographs. Other musicians pictured in the collection include John Cage, Barbara Monk Feldman, Nils Vigeland, Eberhard Blum, and the Kronos Quartet.&lt;/p&gt;

During those years he served as Slee Professor of Music 1972-1973, Edgar Varèse Professor 1975-1987, and Director of the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, 1976-1980. He was also responsible for creating the June in Buffalo festival of contemporary music in 1975.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;Composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987) was best known for his association with the New York School of experimentalist musicians, including composers John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown, and pianist David Tudor. In addition to composing approximately 150 works, Feldman also wrote more than three dozen articles about various aspects of music and art. Feldman was a member of the music department faculty at the State University of New York at Buffalo from 1972-1987. During those years he served as Slee Professor of Music 1972-1973, Edgar Varèse Professor 1975-1987, and Director of the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, 1976-1980. He was also responsible for creating the June in Buffalo festival of contemporary music in 1975.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Morton Feldman Photographs, 1939-1987 are one component of the Morton Feldman Papers held by the Music Library. The online photograph collection consists of fifty four images, including snapshots and formal photographs. Other musicians pictured in the collection include John Cage, Barbara Monk Feldman, Nils Vigeland, Eberhard Blum, and the Kronos Quartet.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;Composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987) was best known for his association with the New York School of experimentalist musicians, including composers John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown, and pianist David Tudor. In addition to composing approximately 150 works, Feldman also wrote more than three dozen articles about various aspects of music and art. Feldman was a member of the music department faculty at the State University of New York at Buffalo from 1972-1987. During those years he served as Slee Professor of Music 1972-1973, Edgar Varèse Professor 1975-1987, and Director of the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, 1976-1980. He was also responsible for creating the June in Buffalo festival of contemporary music in 1975.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Morton Feldman Photographs, 1939-1987 are one component of the Morton Feldman Papers held by the Music Library. The online photograph collection consists of fifty four images, including snapshots and formal photographs. Other musicians pictured in the collection include John Cage, Barbara Monk Feldman, Nils Vigeland, Eberhard Blum, and the Kronos Quartet.&lt;/p&gt;

He was also responsible for creating the June in Buffalo festival of contemporary music in 1975.&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>Three individuals stand on a stage in front of large windows with curtains. Eberhard Blum on the left is slightly bowing, dressed in a light shirt and patterned tie. Nils Vigeland, also in a tie, stands upright and smiles. Morton Feldman on the right, wearing a dark jacket and open-collared shirt, is looking toward the middle person. A grand piano and multiple microphones are positioned on the stage, suggesting a post-performance moment. Several audience members are seated in the foreground, with one clapping. The scene is in black and white.</text>

                <text>In a formal setting with large windows and a grand piano in the background, Nils Vigeland and Eberhard Blum in dress shirts and ties stand before a stage, appearing to acknowledge one another after a performance. In front of the stage, Morton Feldman, wearing a dark jacket and glasses bends down to greet or speak with seated audience members. The audience, some clapping or engaged, is seated in rows facing the stage. The atmosphere suggests a post-performance interaction or recognition. The photograph is in black and white.</text>

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;Composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987) was best known for his association with the New York School of experimentalist musicians, including composers John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown, and pianist David Tudor. In addition to composing approximately 150 works, Feldman also wrote more than three dozen articles about various aspects of music and art. Feldman was a member of the music department faculty at the State University of New York at Buffalo from 1972-1987. During those years he served as Slee Professor of Music 1972-1973, Edgar Varèse Professor 1975-1987, and Director of the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts, 1976-1980. He was also responsible for creating the June in Buffalo festival of contemporary music in 1975.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Morton Feldman Photographs, 1939-1987 are one component of the Morton Feldman Papers held by the Music Library. The online photograph collection consists of fifty four images, including snapshots and formal photographs. Other musicians pictured in the collection include John Cage, Barbara Monk Feldman, Nils Vigeland, Eberhard Blum, and the Kronos Quartet.&lt;/p&gt;
