THERMOMETERS AZ DEGREES IN CITY
Caused by Cold Area from NOrthwest-SIight
Snow Furry Reported.

Overcoats were seen aplenty yesterday and
biting gusts blew about the city from dawn
until dusk The mercury crept down to - de-
grees above zero, and for while it looked as
if the old winter was planning return trip
to this city before summer had actually taken
title.

an unusual occurrence for the early part OF
May.
On May 10. 1900 and 1902 the thermometer
was degrees lower than yesterdays tempera-
ture. Local Forecaster Emery said the cold is
caused by a cold area which for several days
has been moving from the northwest in a south
easterly direction. The forecaster says the chilly
period has reached its limit. and to-day the
mercury will begin to rise. While it was report
ed yesterday that slight snow furry occurred
in the early morning. there no official snow
fall recorded in the Office Of the local Weather

Ma'py Cases of Contagious Diseases
Share from Ellis Island.

Dr- Thomas Darlington. president OF the Board
OF Health acknowledged last night that the city
hospitals for contagious and infectious diseases
are almost "swamped," as he expressed IT. at

the Department Of Health, which showed that
in the week ended May 8 there were IS cases
of contagious and infectious diseases taken from
Ellis Island by the Department of Health. and
a total of 24s9 such cases in the city. Dr.
Darlington said that the reason such a large
number of cases Of contagious and infectious
diseases had been taken from Ellis Island in re-
cent weeks was that phenomenal number Of
immigrants had arrived
Our hospitals for such cases are fairly,
swamped with these cases. the Commissioner
said We have even had to put cots in the
Railways for them 1t is one Of the worst con-
ditions that has confronted US in long time
The number of cases shown for the week
ended May is considerably less than for the
previous week. when there were 1885, and still
less than for the week before. when there were
-''O9. The records published go as far back as
the week ended February 10. and in that time
show there were 493 cases taken from Ellis
Island. OF these 3s7 were cases Of measles, Al
OF scarlet fever Is OF varicella s Of diphtheria
and Of smallpox. The number from Ellis Isl
and has steadily increased from the weak nndea
February 10. when there were only s.
Dr. Darlington explained that the Department
of Health has contract with the United States
government, renewed during bi~ administration
and in operation several yea prior thereto.
whereby the department takes care of all cases
of contagious disease at Ellis Island among
steerage passengers. The general contract nets
he said. about $4,000 a month to the city making
an income of about $4,000 year for this work
There are cases in the Kingston Ayeuue Hos
pital. Brooklyn. and the Willard Parker Hospital
in this borough, where the wards are crowded
and cots are used in the Railways DR. Darling
ton did not give any optimistic outlook for the
future and said that, by the rate the immigrants
were arriving. he feared the number of cases
would become more rather than less
The report published showed that thee are six
cases Of smallpox in the city this weel<-none

were taken not shown.
