TO the grip" epidemic was noticed at the Bureau OF
Vital statistics yesterday, when 206 deaths were re

the deaths reported yesterday twenty set down
as having been caused by the grip" in complication
with other troubles, and fifteen Of them had occurred
in tenement-hous Among the victims was a woman
ninety-six years old, who had died from old age and
the grip" Health Commissioner Bryant said that
the department could do nothing in the way of stopping
the epidemic. He laughed at q published theory that
the grip" spread by dust in the air and that the
epidemic might be stopped by sprinkling the streets.
Reports from the interior Of the State showed that the
grip, was causing much suffering in the country dis
trcts he said and such widespread trouble could not
be caused by germs carried by common dust: II was
not safe to make any predictions, he said although the
present weather seemed to be favorable for decrease
