when the necessity for W arises the
additional one could be built.
In other words Judge Tappan meant
that he and his colleagues do not back

A meeting OF the Board was to have

SMALLPOX STILL SPREADING.
Believed to Have Col Into the
Old Homeopathic Hospital.
A Wards Island Patient Removed
to North Brother Island.

There was little reason to doubt this
morning that smallpox had by some
means spread from Charity Hospital.
Blackwell's Island, to the old Homoco-
pathic Hospital on Wards Island.
Already one man has been removed
from the old homeopathic Hospital as
a suspect, and placed on North Brother
Island. The patient Is Henry Smith,
twenty-seven years old. DR.. Doty. the
Chief Of the Bureau Of Contagious Dis
eases, said this morning that Smith was
isolated in a small tent on the island,
where he would be detained until the
dicease is fully developed.
DR.. Hubbard Is in charge OF Riverside
Hospital on North Brother Island, where
all contagious diseases are treated by the
Health Department, and the suspect Is
under his care.
The health authorities do not like the
idea Of smallpox appearing In another
hospital on the islands Of the East
River before 1t is fully stamped out Of
Charity Hospital. which has already fur
nished an even dozen OF patients.
Inspectors have visited the old Homoeo-
pathic Hospital and thoroughly inspected
the various wards In 1t, and the several
hundred patients there. 4,
The patients have been vacinated. and
every %precaution taken that smallpox
may not get q hold there: These pre-
cautions were taken even though 1t was
not decided this morning that Smith had
smallpox. The same methods will pre-
vail in the Wards Island Hospital.
Two fresh cases Of smallpox were re-
ported this morning. They were discov-
cred yesterday afternoon. One OF the
patients is BENJAMIN A, Walker; forty

ment yesterday afternoon at a Beaver

face showed that he was suffering from
smallpox, and the health authorities
took hiA hschargs.
Henfy evidently suspected hat he was
suffering from smallpox, and had q
