CON FERENCE CLOSED
OFFICIALS MEET q, s..
HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES,

Contrary to expectations, the conference
of the state health officials with the govern
ment authorities of the public health and
marine hospital service was concluded late
yesterday afternoon. Typhoid fever and
the ventilation and sanitation of railway
cars were the questions discussed at the
last session.
The conference was called to order by
Surgeon General Wyman at 2 pm. and
the subject OF typhoid fever announced. Tbe
discussion was opened by DIR. Victor c.
vaughan of Michigan. who gave an ac-
count OF his experience in the investiga ton
OF the prevalence of typhoid in army camps
during the Spanish-American war. DR.
vaughan stated that most cases thought
to be malaria were proved to be typhoid
fever, and that it was proven that the
main channel of dissemination was the car
rying of infection in bedding, tents. on the
hands, clothing, feet, and the infection of
1000 1000 etc, by handling of infected persons.
The disease was proved to be not only in
fictitious, but contagious, and was spread
from man to man. He paid a high ;ribute
to the magnificent work of Mai Shakes
peare, Wnom ne SAID proved martyr to
the enthusiasm with which he pursued the
investigations into this subject during the
war.
Flies are also quite factor in the spread
VI tHIs oisedSe, SAID Dr. vaughan, as we'll
as injected water, milk, etc, but by far Tn,
highest percentage of cases during the war
were due to infection of human beings from
others. DIR. Vaughan stated that the only
sure way to prevent typhoid was to rhor-
oughly disinfect everything connected with
patients sick with the disease. This would
stop the infection at its source.
Immunity in Camps.
In answer to a question of Dr. Probst
of Ohio, DR.. Vaughan stated that the re-
ports from the Japanese army were not
always correct. but he believed their COM
parative immunity from typhoid in camps
was due to the fact that they gave great
tice the safeguards which are only
preached in this country, this being but
another instance of the great advance of
sanitary knowledge over its practical ap-
plfcatfon. The Japanese are not bound by
superstition, customs or other ties, but
go ahead on the lines which have been
proven effective.
DR.. Fulton of Maryland stated that ex-
perience in Maryland had led him to be-
lieye water supplies to be the main source
OF injection, and gave instances where
such was the case.
Doctors Harrington, Smith, Holton Fos-
ter. Lee and others Joined In the discus
sion, which covered every possible means
OF conveyance of typhoid germs, oysters,
Holsters, flies, water, apparel, ETC., and
brought out much material of scientific
value.
Consideration Deferred

lation and sanitation Of railway cars this

today he noticed that the body Of an un-
known white woman had been found in the
river at Baltimore, and from the meager
details of the woman's features which were
given Mr.. Lacy thought it might be the
body of his wife. He called at the local
detective bureau this morning and request
ed Capt. BoardmAn to obtain the descrip-
ton of the body found at Baltimore. When
that was received by wire from the Balti-
more authorities he became more convinced
that the body is that of his wife. and he
went to the monumental city this afternoon
to view the remains.
The woman found at Baltimore was about
twenty-eight years old feet inches tall
and of a stout build. Mr.. Lacy said he
knew of no reason why his wife should go
to Baltimore. No foul play is suspected at
this time.
