WORCESTER BLAMED
FOR BIG EPIDEMIC
DIR. w. MOberley Charges Cons
missioner With Responsibility
for Presence of Cholera


DR.. W. Moberley, former member of
the Manila board of health and until
recently attached to the insular bu-
reau of agriculture as director of ami
NAL industry, and who arrived here
yesterday on the liner Asia, declares
that Dean c. Worcester, a member of
the Philippine commission. is one OF
the most serious menaces to health in
the archipelago. AS the result of Wor-
cester's int4rferences, says Moberly,
dozens of efficient medical officers have
quit the insular service or have been
removed or retired.
Moberley declares that Worcester
was directly responsible for the cpl
demic of cholera in Manila, which pre-
vented the men from the Atlantic fleet
being allowed ashore. He ignored the
suggestions of veteran cholera fighters,
says Moberley, and meddled with the
work of such inspectors as remained
that the cholera easily gained hold.
They have the Ananias club in
Washington" said another passenger
from Manila, land out in the Philip
pines we have the Usurper' club. 1t is
composed entirely of medical medical
men who have usurped the prerogative
of the Almighty and have told Mr..
Worcester to go to hell. 1t has a large
and distinguished membership"

no trouble is expected in China un-
