FOR EARLY FEVER REPORT.
New York Health Board Asks Hasty
Action by Meningitis Investigators.

New York. April 5.--Becoming
alarmed by the rapid increase IN the
fatalities due to cerebro spinal menin-
rItis. the board Of health has urged the
investigating committee Of physicians
to make an early report on the result
of their labors. 1t is hoped that the
committee may be able to suggest a
cure for the mysterious disease that lis
battling physicians of this city. Ihe
situation has grown so serious that the
authorities realize that drastic means
must be taken to stamp out the dis
ease. 8
A typical case Is that of Policeman
Frank Sisson attached to the West
chester station, who died yesterday In
Fordman's hospital of spinal menin-
gifts after suffering great agony. He
had been i'll for three weeks. During
the recent traffic strike Sisson was on
duty at the Bronx power house of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Railway
Company, and while there began to
feel ILL., He worked on for several
days after suffering from this indispo-
sition, which he did not suppose to be
serious, and three weeks ago he had to
report sick and go to the Fordman
hospital. There his complaint was
soon diagnosed as spinal meningitis.
He lived until yesterday after days Of
intense suffering.

Gated by an assault is the case reveal
ed when a dying Italian laborer, Nj

of boys assaulted him Friday evening.
At the hospital it was found he had a
fracture of the skull, the lobe Of his
left ear was torn off and pronounced
symptoms of spinal meningitis had de-
veloped.

ARMY OFFICERS in A row.
Cough Starts Trouble in the
Fifth Infantry at Plattsburg.

Plattsburg, N. Y, April 5.-Colonel
Henry H. Adams, commanding officer
of the Fifth regiment, United States
infantry, stationed at Plattsburg bar
racks, was ordered few days ago to
appear before board for retirement
at Governors island, In New York
City.
Brigadier General Fred d. Grant is
chairman of the board, which Is COM
posed of five officers and surgeon. Of
the United States army, Colonel Smith
and Colonel Pullman being among
those on the board.
The story runs that whooping cough
broke out a month or so ago in the
family of Captain William F. Martin
at the barracks here and Captain Mar
tin employed local physician of this
city instead of calling in Major Wood
ruff, the post surgeon, or Lieutenant
Woodbury., the assistant surgeon at the
post. Major Woodbury. then ordered
Captain Martins family quarantined,
altho it is said that in similar cases
of whooping cough in other officers
families at the post Major Woodruff
did not order a quarantine. When the
matter was brought to the attention
Of Colonel Adams he, after investtgat-
ing. ordered Captain Martins family
released from quarantine. It is charg-
ed that thereupon Major Woodruff sent
a report direct to the war department
regarding the condition Of Colonel
| Adams health and other matters of
personal nature.
| Colonel Adams friends among the
officers Of the regiment allege that
the report was not only sent direct
| to the war department, instead of thru
| the regular channels, which they say
| is a gross breach of army regulations,
but also that the report Itself was to
say the least, inaccurate and that 1t
does an injustice to an old and hon
orable officer of the army
! When the fact that the report had
been sent was finally brought to the
attention of Colonel Adams he, as
commanding officer. demanded Of
Major Woodruff copies of any and all
such reports on record. Major Wood
ruff refused to furnish them to Colonel
Adams and the major was then or
! dered placed under arrest in close
confinement in his own quarters and
was not allowed access to the regi-
mental records. Colonel Adams then
made the same demand on Lieutenant
Woodbury.. assistant surgeon, and, as
he also refused. he was placed under,
arrest Later they were both released
from close confinement. but are still
technically under arrest. Serious
charges have been preferred by Col
onel Adams against both Major Wood
ruff and Lieutenant Woodbury..

meantime what Isl now called rhe con-
stitutional press adds fuel to the flames
by entering on a campaign for expos
ing corruption and venality in vari-
GUS branches of the administration.
Old scandals relative to transportation
of merchant freights, especially on the
Siberian railroad, have been revived
and from documentary evidence Il
most rotten state of affairs is shown
to exist. AS the military authorities
control transportation on the Siberian
railroad the general staff is issuing
permits for every car and merchants
desiring to ship goods to 1rlsutsk or
farther east are compelled to bay such
certificates, regular traffic in them
having been exposed. permits bringing
from three hundred to five hundred
dollars, the authorities then shipping
the goods as munitions of war while
the latter are sidetracked.

RUSSIA FEARS AN upHEAvAL.
Believed That a General Uprising Of
the People Will Occur.


Dt. Petersburg, April 5.-The pros
poets OF general upheaval Of the city
and country with the advent of spring
increases daily. Evidence accumulates
that the radical forces are acting in
unison and awaiting the signal which
IL Is generally believed will be given
ehortly after the Russian easter. The
terrorists are showing great activity
and reports from all over the country
prove that the workmen who in many
cases have been formulating, petty
demands. which are no sooner granted
than they are succeeded by others, are
acting under instructions from revo-
lutionay leaders who are ably biding
their time. Employers frankly admit
1t is impossible to try to continue bus
mess. Some of them already have
shut down. The people are plainly
becoming panicky and the authorities
also cannot conceal their alarm.
The guard regiments which usu-
tanned in st. Petersburg, it is announc-
ed, until June, ostensibly in order to

tNintensify the acuteness of the COM
crisis as the liberals are firmly

b,.. eaucracy, if the crisis is safely
passed =; to smother the whole re-
form movement. The state of public
opinion on this subject is apparent
