Of the List Named by DR.. LIE Hardy
Many Had Sailed
Weeks Before.
BURFORD'S REPLY 70 CHARGES.
The People Express Themselves in Line
with THE Times" EditOrial-Cass of
Chagrin Over Disappointment.

Surgeon R. E. L. Burford, in charge
of the Brunswick quarantine station,
did not see the comments of DIR. Le-
Hardy, health officer of Savannah, on
his reception at the station, until 2 80
yesterday afternoon, when he re-
ceived his mail from the city.
Shortly after this, THE TIMES called
Surgeod Burford over the telephone,
and asked for an expression from him
on the health officers interview.
81 will answer only one of DR.. Le-
Hardy's comments, said Surgeon
Burford 1.-THE others are not worthy
of notice. In regard to his statement
of the pumber of vessels discharging
ballast in the harbor: All the yes
sells which DR.. LeHardy mentioned
had been through the quarantine de-
tention and had been thoroughly
fumigated."
Surgeon Burford might have added
that over one half of the vessels
named by DIR. LeHardy as discharg-
ing ballast sailed from this port
weeks and some of them months ago.
Some of them have reached their de-
situations on the other side of the
ocean. Shipping men generally noted
this fact yesterday, and expressed
themselves as impressed with the
scope of DR.. LeIIardy's fertile imag-
ination.
The remarks of the health officer
were the subject of much comment
here yesterday, nearly all of it on the
line of THE TIMES editorial in this is
sue. The people generally regard the
interview as the outburst of a fit of
chagrln at not being allowed to do as
he pleased at the quarantine station.
