In the district bounded by 73d-st, Fort Ham

to be more than twenty cases, although not less
than ten cases have been removed to the Nor

being treated
DR.. Louis c. Ager. who was formerly sanitary
superintendent of the Bay Ridge section. de-
clsred last>nisht that the disease less pro-
nounced there week ago. bat that several
cases have appeared. The ca use for the many
cases is undoubtedly due to the water which,
under analysis. has been found impure, he be
lieves Bathing the sewer openings may
be responsible for a few cases. but the deaths
can only be traced to the bad water. It is de-
ciared. 1t is believed that the difficulty could
be practically obviated by boiling the water or
by using bottled srring water.

sible causes of the fever. Carloads Of ashes

" "AutO" Crashes Through Fence, and
DriUer Breaks Nine Ribs.

Buffalo, Aug. 1S.-Webb Jay. of Cleveland,
probably fatally injured at Kenflworth
Park to-day in the ten-mile' automobile race.
At the three-quarters Of the fourth mile Jays
machine crashed through the fence, down an
embanknent OF fifteen feet and into a pond
What caused the accident is not known It
is believed however. that Jay was blinded by
dust and steered into the fence He was driving
about a mile minute when the accident hap
pened.
Jay was racing with Lyttle and Burman. At
the three-quarters turn Jay was third and the
dust cloud OF the other two cars hung over
him. Just at the three-quarters the track has
been banked with dirt taken from the excava-
ton, which has left deep hole just beyond the
fence. Heavy rains have transformed the hole
into deep pond.
Just as Jay rounded the turn his car crashed
through the fence and down the ffteen-foot en-
bankment and into the water Jay was uncen-
scious and would have been drowned had net
two spectators sitting the fence near by
gone TO his rescue and dragged him OUT.
He taken TO the German Hospital where
II was found that nine ribs We're broken, one OF
fractured. Pneumonia and pleurisy will set in
within twsnty-fOur hours, and. if he survives
them he may live, the surgeons say.
