GOTHAM FACESEPIDEMIC

Conditions on East Side Fast Becoming
Observation-Disclosures Freely
Used by Officials.

NEW YORK, July 1.-Renewed eff
forts were made today by the street
cleaning department to obtain men to
break the strike of the drivers. While
the health department is aiding the street
cleaning department in removing the
piles of refuse, the work is slow and
the menace of an epidemic grows daily
greater. Mayor Mcclellan believes the
strike will be broken some time today.
Conditions on the east side are fast
becoming intolerable. Great heaps of de-
caying garbage and filth fill the streets
making the passage OF cars and trucks
difficult.
Odors from these piles of refuse are
waited through the air into the densely
crowded tenements, and escape from the
fetid gases is impossible. Fortunately
cool weather and rain have relieved a
situation, which would otherwise be I'M
bearable. The board of health is spray
ing these decaying piles with disinfect-
ants to prevent the development of dis
ease.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. June %
Railroad Commissioner Charles A. Ry-

the press yesterday walked over the
Missouri Pacific tracks between Hutch
inson and Yaggy, the first station west
of here. In one mile, between mile
posts Nos. 48 and 40, 800 rotten. broken
and weakened ties were found in the
track. In one rail length there were
nine bad ties out of seventeen, and hun
1reds of spikes could be pulled out on
mile of track.
Commissioner Ryker walked over
some of the Missouri Pacific tracks near
Anthony on the Kiowa division and
found conditions worse than on the
hutchinson division-two or three ties
ut of FIVE being bad.
Ryker says the roadbeds of both this
nd the Kiowa divisions are unsafe for
eavy tonnage or for rapid movement of
rains.

JAPAN'S IRE GROWING.
Toxic Newspaper Receives No More News
From San Francisco and No Ex-
PLANTATION is Offered.

TOXIC, July 1.-The impression is
growing here that the anti-Japanese feel
ing and demonstrations in San Francisco
are the outcome of a plan based upon
racial hatred. The newspapers here
which had special correspondents of
American nationality in San Francisco
have ceased to receive news from them.
No explanation is offered, but the i'm
preston here is that pressure was
brought to bear upon the correspondents.
The fear is expressed that the danger
point will soon be reached. Although
war is not dreamed of a boycott against
American goods seems assured.
