FORIY.THREE CHOLERA CASES
Eine Deaths from the Plague At Different
FONTS in Prussia,
LITTLE FEAR OF AN EPIDEMIC
Legal and Medical Machinery of the
German Empire IL Now Work
ing Under Full Pres
Sure.

dealing with this invasion OF Asiatc bac-
cilus is now working at full pressure.
Prof. Edward Sonnenberg said to the As
ISOLATED Press tonight that no one need
fear an epidemic such as that OF 1928 be-
cause the health authorities since that
time had built up an organization quite
adequate to grasp the beginnings OF cholera
and put down the disease with decision and
hrmness
The health machinery TO which Prof.
Sonnenberg alluded Is working in co-opera-
tion with the police and other public serv-
ices. with the exception OF the one death
at Hamburg the cholera is confined to the |
West Prussian districts and every case Of
Illness in these districts must be immc-
diately reported to the authorities. An ex-
perienced physician and bacteriologist at /
once takes an observation and II the case |
is suspicious the patient is promptly iso- |
lated The state has now detailed under !
medical examination nearly 1000 persons, |
including the emigrants at Brunshaven. |
Cautions and warnings have been distrib- |
uted and these have led TO spontaneous |
and intelligent cooperation with the sani- |
tarY officers. IL the same agencies and the |
same spirit we're at work beyond the Rus |
sian frontier the Prussian health admins
tration would feel satisfied with what is !
being done. A doubt almost amounting to |
conviction, exists that the Russian ad- !
ministration has not yet been aroused TO
the danger and that it's task of dealing |
with the problem is much more difficult
than that which confronts the authorities
here.
The Wissen Schahschen Correspondent
cites the recent declaration of the Russian
plague commission that since April q no
case Of cholera has occurred in the Rus
sian empire and that the suspicious cases
were reported in Wilma. Lode, Radon, Tula,
Rjasan and other places were. as bac-
THEOLOGICAL investigations showed not
Asiatic cholera.
Where, then" says the paper, did the
Asiatic cholera now in west Prussia come
from? AS a matter of fact" 1t goes on
to say. "the Prusslan officials were appre-
hensive Of the existence Of cholera since
the beginning Of the year and their reports
showed that the pestilence had left Arabia
/ and marching over Syria, Mesopotamia
and Persia, thence across the Caspian sea
into European Russia and onward to the
Volga."
The Bourse today felt the effect of the
prevalence of cholera, especially shipping
companies, the shares Of which fell from
3 to per cent.

SteeraEe Passengers Guaranteed.
HAMBURG, Sept. 1.-The agent OF the
imperial German health office today or
dered all steerage passengers OF the
+ steamer Moltke, which sailed for New
! York today. to be landed at Cuxhaven.
! Later they were put on steamer laying
, OFF Brunshaven and are under quarantine.
1t does not appear that there is any case
of cholera among the steerage passengers,
but the health once which has become
increa singly viglant because of yester-
days cholera case, thought II advisable TO
order all the emigrants to be landed for a
fresh inspection and observation until Sat
urday, when, If in health and none of
them has been shown to have come in con-
tact with cholera, they may be allowed to
proceed.
Marine Hospital on Lookout,
| WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-The officers OF

vice are not apprehensive over the out
break of cholera in Prussia. They say llat
in the past the German authorities have
generally been able to control such epidem-
les and express confidence that they will
do so in the present instance.
Surgeon General wyman has already
taken measures to prevent the spread Of
cholera from Germany TO the United
State by ordering Passed Assistant Sur
geon Mclaughlin, now stationed at Naples,
to proceed Immediately 10 Hamburg. DR..
Mclaughlin has been directed to make a
thorough investigation OF the situation and
TO report in detail. He also has been di-
rected 10 he prepared to enforce the treas
ury regulations with a view to ships leav-
ing for American ports. These regulations
authorize the detention of suspected pas
sengers and the fumgation OF baggage
when thought advisable. DR., Mclaughlin.
however, will not resort to these measures
until satisfied as 10 the wisdom of applying
them, Surg son Irwin at Philadelphia will
soon join DR.. Mclaughlin and other men-
bers OF the service will be sent to their as
sistance II needed Drs Mclaughlin and
Irwin both have had experience in dealing
with cholera
