Rrprry. August 2-.-Delegates from
ell tbe federal states held a conference
az the home Office to-day on the subject.
~ cholera. The president OF police re-
r1rts that not single case
tf Asfatic cholera had yet
bas, certified 10 IN Berlin.
STATEMENTS were read from Prof. Koch
and Counsellor RahJS, together with
,-a0aral report covering the whole
6sa1rb condition Of Germany. Both
statements and the report were reaSsur-
f,y although Prof. Koch thinks that
me worst period of the epidemic In
Hamburg and AltOua has not yet
passed. a,
toDa are blamed for COncealing the
Dresence OF the disease. The hrst out
break occurred in Hamburg as far back
a. August Il, and at Altoona on August
10. During q whole week vessels lett
Hamburr under clean bills OF health,
although the authorities knew the ep-
idemic was daily growing worse.
TIE imperial health Office, recogn!Z-
inc the yOIue OF the utmost publicity,
Is making arrangements TO publish
daily q health record OF Berlin and
other centers, reporting all cases OF
cholera and kindred diseases. DiarrahGa
disorders and dysentery, which are
rather rife here and which are apt 10
alarm people, will have the especial at
tentiOn OF the doctors.
Mr.. Edwards, the American consul
general here, has taken the necessary
stems 10 keep the state department az
WashlnzingcOn informed of the Situa-
tiop throughout Germany, TO-night'S
advlces leave every pOpulous place In
Germany free from Aslatic cholera eX-
cept Hamburg, where Prof. hoch's
predictions regarding the spread OF the
plague are being fulfilled.
The disease has spread over the whole
city and 10 the suburbs. A doctor,
with number Of hospital assistants,
has left Berlin % assist the Hamburg
musicians. The ambulance service and
the means for the rapid burial OF the
victims have been greatly augmented.
The exodus OF the weGlthier Hamburg
families is now proceeding on a large
Icale.
Though the leading thOrOughiares
there present their ordinary aspect, the
sboDkeepers declare that business Is
stagnant. Many OF them would close
their shops, but are prevented through
fear OF adding 20 the public depression,
which wants but little % become absO-
Lutte panic. While many have fled,
other prosperous citizens are doing
much personally and through agents 10
relieve families who have been stricken
or who are menaced through want OF
uOurishing food.
Donations OF food, disenfectants and
medicines are plentiful Brandy, In
which the mass Of the people believe,
despite the doctors opinions TO the con-
trary, is supplied gratituiousiy though
I'm small doses, at many places. Never
IN the history OF Hamburg has the hand
Of charity been so open.
The Ueoule Of Berlin talk Of forming
an absolute Gordon around Hamburg,
Altoona and the mouths OF the E.0e.
This is a coward y and paniky idea, and
would be q merciless restriction upon
those within the cholera sphere, while
i'm Official opinion il would be utterly
Ineffective.
A sharp watch IS kept upon cases oc-
curing In Hungary and Austria. The
epidemic around PreSs0U-g In Hungary
appears 10 be fading. a number Of
choleric cases have been reported at
Wierner Neustadt, SOuen0u, in Aas-
tria, and even I'm Vienna Itself, where
the rspidity Of the deaths are sugges-
tive OF Asiatic cholera.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., August 81
The only information in regard TO
cholera received at the State Depart
ment up % noon to-day was contained
in dispatch from Consul Johnson, az
Hamburg, who ca0led that there were
2sb new cases and l30 deaths from the
disease in that city yesterday.
The Treasury Department IS acting
promptly on all matters that have a
bearing on the cholera epidemic and
nothing will be left Uudoue that may
tend 70 keep infection from the shores
OF this country. Al intentS aud pur-
poses there now exists national quar-
antlne. the cooperation of the national
and state authorities in the matter re-
su'ting in the formation Of q Gordon
which will make 10 extremely dlttculJ
for a case Of cholera 20 reach the shores
of the United States. 10 is evident
that the people living along the Cana
dian border aud those living further
south who would suffer most by reason
Of the introduction of the cholera from
Canada are apprehensive the disease
may enter the United States, unless
stringent precautions are taken TO pre-
vent TO- Two kilograms on the subject
were received at the Treasury
Department during the after
noon, one OF them addressed
10 Actlng-Secretary Spsu.ding from
C. L. Macarthur. editor Of the Troy, \.
y, Budcet It said; The cholera
came 10 Troy in 1923 and later via Mon
treal and was very disastrous. VIII
you take any MEASURES, and II So,whst,
10 prevent its crossing from Canada,
where foreign vessels are now arriving
from infected ports. Please answer by
wire to-day"
The second dispatch was from DR..
Charles n. Hunt, formerly an officer Of
the state board OF health OF Minnesota,
aud was Addressed to Supt. Owen, Of
the immigration bureau. IL made in
ouiry concerning the inspection OF i'm
migrants az the 500 canal and Grand
Haven, and suggested that such inspec-
tien should be medical and immediate.
