AS 70 what special features We win

do anything with that this year. Ali
our improvements this year will be to

Unable disease at Philadelphia. case was re-
called where ship coming from Liverpool a
month two ago passed the national and
State quarantine stations at League Island with
three diphtheria patients on board. Commits
sioner Rodgers informed the Marine Hospital
officials and the city Health Board, but he was
told that the immigrants could not be detained
under the maritime quarantine rules. The sick
persons were, however, sent to the pesthouse
by the direction of the immigration officials, un-
der the immigra tion laws The nurse and two
hundred other passengers who came IN contact
with the dphtheria patients were allowed TO go
to their places of destination, and little precau
tion was taken by the government TO prevent
the disease from spreading. although the I'M
migration Commissioner sent TO the various
State Health boards the names and addresses
of the persons who had been in the same quar-
Ter of the shin with the diphtheria patients.
If the diphtheria patients had been United
States citizens the immigration Bureau Woulu

health officers and Marine Hospital officials
