Surgeon NJ H. S., in Command
In an official report tonight the name
Of DR. A. V. Vests (coloredl appears. He
has done good work among his race, but
the fever has struck him at last. With
DIR. Robert Burford (white) sick, the
medical force is greatly depleted, while
the cases are rapidly increasing. Unof-
fcially reported tonight as dead are
Charles Price (white) and Hannah
Scruggle (colored), with H. r. Duck
(white) dying.
Duck is one of DIR. Davis patients given
In as malaria. In an emergency tonight
Surgeon FACET was summoned and he un-
officially stated that Ducks case was yell
low fever.
Hannah Scruggles was never reported
as sick with yellow fever, but died from
that disease
Surgeon FACET would not speak offic-
tally about DIR. Davis peculiar reports,
but he is considerably worried over them.
The committee appointed by the board to
investigate his patients are still at work
and will report at an early date. Relief
nurses are only supplied to yellow fever
patients, and as DIR. Davis reports on his
list only malaria it seems that if ne has
many they may suffer for want of nurs-
ing. 1t is a queer state of affairs, but the
board of health is working hard to
sJraighten it out and will soon take de-
clslve action.
