Many Cases Found In Thickly Settled
Portions Of New York.
New YORK, Feb. 12.-The typhus soource
upon which the board of health stumbled
yesterday, is increasing hour by hour. No
man can tell its extent at this writing. In
the early morning hours ten new cases
were found in east side lodging houses that
shelter exiled Russians from the famine
districts, making si1ty-seven in all up to
that time. At noon nine more cases had
been found. Those houses are in the most
dense'y populated district, and among the
poorest tenants, and that the plague will
spread. despite desperate efforts now beng
made by health authorities to suppress it,
there can be little doubt. Houses known
to be infected are under police surveillance.
The authorities have forbidden all com =
munioation with the rest of the world.
