Ellis island for Boston to confer with
Commissioner of immigration George
B. Billings, the port medical staff and
officials of the state board of health
regarding the new and comprehensive
plan for guarding the United States
against possible danger from cholera
suspects coming from Russia and
Italy. This plan contemplates sur
veillance of immigrants from the in
fected districts to their final destina-
ton in the United States, even though
it be in a remote settlement Of the
west. Surgeon General Walter Wy
man and his officers have worked
days and nights perfecting the de-
tails and now believe that with the
cooperation of state and municipal
health authorities which they request,
a cholera epidemic in the United
States would be practically impos.
sible.
The new system, which is supple
mentary to the rigorous medical ex
aminations now made provides for a
registry of immigrants from Russia
and Italy by the immigrant inspectors

Hobble Invades Nations High Court

The person who has precipitated all
this discussion Is Adelma H. Burd OF
New York. When she appeared in
the courtroom and proceeded to take
her seat within the Enclosure reserved
for members of the bar there was a
hasty investigation. 1t did not ceem
likely that a woman lawyer who had
attained the dignity of the right to
practise before the Supreme court
would be so swayed by feminine emo
lions as to don skirt that showed
tendencies toward the hobble idea.
Some of the court officers. as a mat
ter of fact. were not certain in their
own minds that the hobble feature
was there. That question has not
yet BET answered satisfactorily.
Anyway. Miss Burd was not mo.
Tested. She is likely to go down in
history as the first woman who by

The actual work of recognizing the

very slowly and quietly and without
serious disturbance to any one. Six
months ago the department entered
