There Had Been Diphtheria in the
Dairyman's Family.

! DR.. W. II. Park, Chief Of the Depart

Health, is preparing some specimens OF
the cheese seized In a Washington
street commission house yesterday
afternoon for the purpose Of cultivat-

suspected. the cheese contains.
The seizure consisted of ffty-ons
cheeses of sixty pounds weight each.
which were shipped to New York from
the Star Creamery" at Alton, Chenan-
go County.
About a week ago the State Board OF
Health received notice that q dairyman
at Alton. in whose family there had
been a fatal case of diphtheria. had
sold all OF the milk produced by his
herd to the Star Creamery; also, that
the milk had been made into cheese.

told In yesterdays editions OF The
Evening World" were notified by tele-
graph, and Inspector Bayard Fuller was
detailed to make the seizure. He found
but little difficulty in locating. the cheese,

noon.
bers Of the Board Of Health refused 70
chant for the reason that he had no In
formation yet that the cheese was In

name in connection with the matter
might be disastrous to his business.
A letter received from the State Board
Supt. Roberts gives additional details.
1t stated positively that bacilli Of diph-
