BROOKLYN NEWS.
FEARS FOR WATER SUPPLY.
More Water Used Than the
Pumps Can Furnish.
Brooklyn Aldermen to Consider
Tapping u New Source.

City Works Commissioner White. of
Brooklyn. is watching the daily con-
sumption of water during this hot wealth
er with more than usual interest. While
Ire says, there Is no immediate danger
OF n water famine, the increase Of water
used over last year has caused him con-
siderable anxiety.
The consumption yesterday was 3d.
1921 gallons, While last year the re-
port for the same day showed that only
IS, ,5l5 gallons were consumed.
The most alarming part of the report
of yesterdays consumption Is its eompar-
iscn with the number OF gallons pumped.
Two old engines were not working yes
terday. but the others running at their
full capacity, pumped s4,635.os3 gallons or
about 100000 gallons less than were
consumed.
The pumps are taxed daily to their
utmost capacity and as the reserve sup
ply Is said to be far below what It should
be- the officials are anxious for a new
system.
With this point In view the Aldermen
will meet on Monday and consider the
USED in examining lakes and streams
outside Of Long Island In order to IN
crease the supply TO Brooklyn 5000, ooO
gallons or more day.
Some of the Aldermen favor bringing
water from Ramapo Lake. Ex-Secre-
tary of the Navy benjamin r. Tracy is
interested in this project.

FEARED THE HEALTH BOARD.
Landlord and Tenant Did Not Re-
port the Diphtheria.

Just the way Brooklynites feel towards
the Board Of Health was exemplified in
dispossess proceedings that came up in
Justice Petterson's court, Brooklyn, this
morning.
William Roth, as the owner Of a large
tenement-houso at 1si Moore street,
brought proceedings through the consta
be to dispossess Carl Enschelon for
non-payment of trent. En.che,on asked
the Court for time, on account of the
very recent death of his child. which he
said had died yesterday of diphtheria.
Justice Peterson expressed surprise
that Roth should want to remove the
tenant whereupon Roth said ne had
rented the apartments TO other parties
who We're ready TO move In.
WHAT said His ,IIonor, has not the
house been quaransined? Did you not
notify the Board of Health of the pres
enCe Of dipbtheria In the neighborhood -"
Both Roth and Enscaelon candidly ad-
mittei that they had not, as they had
been advised that the Interference Of the
Health Board would be disastrous on
account OF its hish-hanled measures
The neiGhbors preferred to run the risk
Of contagion rather than be interfered
with by the Bears.
Justice Peterson heartily sympa thiaei
with that view of the case. but since the
presence OF contagious disease had been
made known officially he considered It
his duty to notify the health authorities
ana adjourn the case until they could be
heard from.

TO REBUILD STOCK-YARDS.
Pennsylvania Company Will Make
Extenslve EnlarRements.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will commence early next week the re-
building of Its stock-yards at the foot
OF Sixth street and the North River,
Jersey City. which were destroyed by fire
just two weeks ago to-day The new
yards will be much more extensive than
the old ones. so ms to also accommodate
the Union Stock-Yard and Market Com
pany, now located at he foot of West
SiXty-frst street New York, which Com
pany has made arrangements with the
Pennsylvania Railroad to transfer its
business to the Jersey City shore.
The plans for the new yards provide
for slaughter and ice-houses OF n much
larger capacity than the old ones; The
old rendering works at the yards Will
not be rebuilt, ard that branch OF the
point where the attendant odors will not
annoy residents OF Jersey City and ferry
boat passengers as they did formerly.
The last OF the carcasses OF the sheep
and cattle destroyed In the fire was re-
moved last Tuesday, and the yards hav-
ing been thoroughly disinfected are no
longer the menace to health that they
threatened to become.
No less than $500 carcasses were re-
moved from the yards. and nearly as
many more were completely burned up
In the fire. But for the refrigerators
and many OF the slaughter-houses and
pens having been built with double
floors thousands OF the carcasses would
have fallen into the river and caused a
great pollution OF the water.

Two DEAD IN ONE DAY
Rev. DR.. John W. Teal Expired
at the Breakfast Table.
His Daughter Mabel Had Died Only
One Hour Before.
On Monday His Eldest Girl Also
Passed suddenly Away.


ELIZABETH, n. j., June S0.-Rev.
Dr. John w. Teal Pastor OF West
minister Presbyterian Church here died
suddenly at the breakfast table in his
home on North Broad street this morn
Ing. less than an hour after the death
OF his daughter Mabel. who was nine
years old.
The bereavement is a terrible one to
the family. as only Monday Miss Flor
ence Teal. his eldest daughter. a hand
some girl OF seventeen years. died very
suddenly after her return from the
Catskills. where she had been a month
for the benefit OF her health.
Rev. DR.. Tears death. II Is believed.
was caused by a broken heart, as he
was deeply attached to his two children
that died.
A son. It Is said, came home yesterday
and told his father the doctor ordered
him to give up work and go to Colorado,
as one of his lungs was affected.
This was an additional shock to the
fond parent, who only buried a daughter
Wednesday. and was daily expecting the
passing away OF the other. who has been
an invalid almost from her birth.
Rev. DR.. Teal drank a cup of hot water
to relieve. as he thought, a dyspeptic
feeling. half an hour after his child died.
He sat at the breakfast table. and was
In the act OF opening a letter when his
head was observed to drop forward on
his breast.
One OF the sons went to his father
side to see what allied him. and, to his
horror. found he was pulseless.
Medical aid was summoned, but 1t
was OF no use.
Rev. DIR. Teal was fifty-six years old,
and, WAS born at Rhlnebeck on the Hud-
son. He was a graduate of Yale College
and of the Union Theological Seminary
New York City. He was pastor ct Corn
wall. N. Y, for some years and was
afterwards pastor of a Presbyterian
Church at Germantown. Pa, from which
he came to Elizabeth eight years ago
this July Westminster Church Is one
OF the finest In the city. and has a very
fashionable congregation.
Rev. DR.. Teal was not only popular
with his flock. but with the entire COM
munity. He was handsome man az
splendid physique, being over feet tall
and built In proportion, and In his
younger days had few superors as an
athlete.
His wife died several years ago. Four
sons and daughter survive him. Since
last November, when Rev. DR.. Teal's
father expired, six members OF the fam
ily have been carried away by death,
two being cousins of the deceased cler-
gyman.
The peculiar circumstances attending
Rev. Dr. Teals death have shocked the
whole community.

DR.. EMERY ALARMED.
Making a Determined Fight
Against Diphtheria
LOO Cases Since March I, and
Over 400 Proved Fatal.
Wants All New Cases Reported to
the Board at Once.

After hard fight against an epidemic
of smallpox, Health Commissioner EN-
cry. of Brooklyn. Is now engaged in
stamping out a threatened epidemic OF
diphtheria.
The Commissioner said to-day that
there had been 100 cases OF true diph-
iberia reported to the Department since
March l. and that over 100 cases had
week. forty-three persons had sue
cumbed to the disease.
Commissioner Emery added that there
were many other cases, which had been
concealed by the relatives OF the pa
tients. This fact undoubtedly accounted
for the dangerous outbreak Of the dis
ease.
The danger lay h the ignorance OF
the pQorer classes, who do not realize
the danger and call in a physician
promptly.
As an ILLUSTRATION, DR.. Emery cited
the case of Catherine Grannert, the
two-year-oid daughter of a confectioner.
at 1880 Atlantic avenue. The child died
several days ago. Mr.. Grannert has
four children. All were taken in. and
from the symptoms he recognized the
cases as diphtheria.
Mr.. Grannert had read in a news
paper that kerosene oil was u specific
for cases of this kind. He dpsed the
children with oil. and three recovered.
The otchr grew worse and Or. Schmidt,
Of 2O6 Cleveland Street. was called in.
In spite of all he did to save the in
FAINT she dleu.
DR.. Emery thought that the child
might have been saved had a physician
been called In time.
The death-rate has been very high in
Flatbush, and the tenement districts in
Brooklyn. The Health Department has
esta blished a Bureau of Bacteriology, in
charge of Prof. Wilson, and a number OF
assistants.

has proven of great value They can
determine the length of time 1t is
necessary to maintain quarantine. In
some cases the danger Is past In ten
days. Formerly II was the practice to
maintain a quarantine for longer periods
sometimes for a month.
Commissioner Emery says that no
better system for looking after the dis
ease Is in use in the United States.
ell adde that he did not wish to create
a scare. but he desired the people to
realize the danger of diphtheria, and to
report cases promptly when discov-
