Health had to deal withmore small pox
cases yesterday than in any one day since

sons afiictedwere discovered In overcrowd-
ed tenement houses, where, hundreds had

lieve that the epidemic which threatened

then.
The inspectors and ambulances were
busy from z o'clock in the morning until
after G o'clock last night removing the
sufferers TO the reception hospital. 1t was
nearly s o'clock before all were placed on
the steamer Franklin Edison to be taken
to North Brother Island
Several of the patients are known to
have come In contact with smallpox suf-
Italians who brought it here from New
where or how they became infected. In
consequence Acting Chief Roberts and
his assistants have no means Of telling
where the disease Is lurking or how many
are suffering with IL.
To make matters worse, there In q sus-
picion that some physicians, who had
rather be fined $50 for failing to report on
a case of smallpox than lose a good pa
tient, are not telling OF the cases under
their charge. One doctor was discovered
yesterday who hal not reported a case,
and he will be prosecuted. The health
officials refuse to disclose his name.
