EPIDEMIC
ALARMING
Five Deaths Due to Disease
Within the Past Month at
Gary-New Gases at Mercy
Hospital State May In
vestigate.

The typhoid fever situation has as
sumed a serious aspect in Gary, In view
of the fact that in the past thirty
days, the disease has carried five Gary
people to their graves.
Two more cases were reported at the
Mercy hospital this morning. where, ac-
cording to Sister Cecilia, ten people
are confined in addition to the two new
cases Last evening Paul Weaver,
young man from Clark Station, was
brought to the hospital in Jones am
bulance and his condition is serious
that little hopes are entertained for
his recovery.
This morning Mike Zortenrich, for
eigner on the south side, was brought
to the hospital suffering from typhoid
His case is not so serious.
Since July LIST there have been nine
deaths due to typhoid in Gary. In Au-
gust there were five.
The names and dates on which they
occurred are:
Aug. Sth, the 13-year-old son of
Nicholas Mileriot, HOG Jefferson street;
Aug. 10th and 18th. two foreigners on
south side; Aug. 31st. Catherine Feely,
and Sept. 31st, Mrs Garrett.
Hath Board Inactive.
Although THE TIMES has repeatedly
called the attention to the local health
board of the typhoid fever, they have
scoffed and said there was no unusual
epidemic of typhoid Facts are palmer
than mere words, and 1t is figures that
count With twelve cases at the Mercy
hospital at the present time and five
deaths due to typhoid in tht past month
and other milder cases all throughout
the city it is time the Gary board OF
health awakened to the situation and
commenced an investigation.
Said a citizen of Gary today:
IF typhoid in Gary is due to the
disposal of sewage in Lake Michigan
If it is due to the water supply, mill
supply or any other cause. the people
of Gary ought to know it and be warn
ed"
1t is rumored that owing to the in
activity of the local board of health
the state board of health is cognizan1
of the true situation in Gary and will
send representatives. TO this city with
III a few days.

Killing to Rejoin the Cubs.

Catcher John King has patched up
his differences with Charles Webb Muir
ply and has announced that he will
play with the Cubs this year, providing
he can be reinstated by the National
Commission. 1t is reported In Chi
cago that King has written letter
to Chairman Hermann asking him to
outline his exact status and requesting
prompt action on his application for
reinstatement. King is quoted as
saying that he would retire from base
ball IL traded to any other club. and
that he thinks the Cubs can win the
pennant this year If he rejoins them.
Chicago fans ascribe the loss of last
years pennant by the Cubs to the de-
lection of King, and within the last
month a monster petition asking for
the re-engagement of the star catcher
has been signed and sent to President
Murphy. 1t is said that King and
Murphy have agreed upon terms for
