FEARED PESTHOUSE.
Columbia Student zCith Measles Fled
from City.

Carl E. Lloyd, a student of Columbia Univer-
sity, living in Hartley Hall a dormitory became
so frightened at his attack of German measles
that he fled to his home in Ohio. The case re-
sembled scarlet fever so closely as to puzzle two
physicians.
About a week ago Lloyd complained Of feeling
i'll and his friends called in Dr. ". NJ Van
Zandt, of No 164 West 9th street Dr. Van
Zandt attended the case until Friday, when E.
F. McCussky. the superintendent of Hartley
Hall, noticed that the patient had rash on his
face. He at once sent for Dr. w D. Jessup. the
medical visitor of the university.
Dr. Jessup suspected scarlet fever and in
formed the Health Department. An inspector
from Dr. Darlingtons Office visited Lloyd He
was unable to determine whether the man had
scarlet fever or not and said he would come
back the next day and complete the diagnosis.
In the mean time he told a tale that gave the
student visions of long, dreary weeks on North
Brother Island. The man became thoroughly
frightened and decided to strike out for the
West at once.
About 10 o'clock the day he departed Dr.
Jessup telephoned to find how the patient was
getting along. The authorities at the university
found the room empty. Lloyd has since written
to his friends that the disease turned out to be
German measles and that he is we'll on the way
to recovery.
