UNDER OBSERVATION
NO MORE SMALLPOX IN CoLUM-
BIA HOSPITAL.

Since the discovery of three cases OF
smallpox In the Columbia Hospital for
Women 18th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest. last week. that institution
has been kept under close observation by
the contagious disease service of the health
office. No more cases have developed in
the five days that have elapsed since a
state OF quarantine was declared over a
part of the institution. and it is hoped that
there will be no further cases.
DR.. J. o. Skinner. superintendent of the
Columbia Hospital, made the following
statement today:
The statement which appeared In your
paper relative 10 the situation at Co.
lumbia Hospital is in certain particulars
inaccurate and misleading and in my opln-
DIN, unnecessarily alarming. For the peace
OF mind OF the relatives and friends there
fore of our patients and employees. and OF
the public at large, which may be dis
turbed by your publication. l deem it my
duty to state that 1t Is only the obstet-
rical division of the hospital which has
been plnced In quarantine by the health
authorities. and that the conditions here
do not. in my Judgment. Justify the mis-
givings which you apparently entertain in
tie matter
Declared to Be Mistake.
Your statement that the inspectors
promptly pronounced II smallpox In both
cases and the women were taken to the
smallpox hospital. Is mistake. When the
representative OF the health department.
presumably one of the inspectors to whom
you refer, visited the hospital Thursday aft
ernoon. at the request of one OF the chief
physicians in charge of the obstetricai divi
sion, to examine certain patients (Bell and
thompson presenting suspicious symptoms,
he, the inspector. pronounced them sus-
poets, and had them removed TO the deten-
ton station. where. 1t appears, they were
held under observa ton until the next after
noon, when. after a consultation was held
and conclusion reached concerning the
nature of the disease. they were transferred
TO the smallpox hospital and n quarantine
established by the health authorities on the
eastern section of this hospital, in which
the obstetrical division is located.
Relative to the Frye case. referred to by
you as having been the source of the infec-
ton of Bell and Thompson. 1t should be
stated that from the date {March I'D OF her
admission to the day tMay - she was re
moved, she had made complaint OF any
discomfort whatever to either doctors or
nurses, and that any eruption or other indt-
cation of existing OF approaching con-
tagious or infectious trouble must have
been so mild modified in character as 10
have obscured disguised beyond immedi-
ate recognition. the real type of the disease,
except by ons whose attention, an eN-
pert. had been especially called to 1t, and
no doubt, correspondngly critical, as in the
Bell and Thompson cases.
No Suspicious Cases.
