CHOLERA SITUATION IN NEW
YORK GROWS VERY
SERIOUS.
1S CASES REPORTED
SIX HAVE DIED AND OTHERS
MAY SUCCUMB TO RAVAGES
OF DISEASE.

IF-w York.-The daily increasing
number of cases of cholera and sub
sequent deaths on Hoffman and Swim
burne islands here, may cause the
United States authorities to assume
charge of quarantine affairs at this
port within the next few days.
In the five days since the disease
first manifested itself among immi-
grant passengers on board the steam
ship Moltke on Hoffman island, six
deaths have taken place and no fewer
than eighteen cholera cases are under
treatment with every prospect that
many of these patients will succumb
While it is declared that there is no
foundation for alarm over the situa-
ton, it is known that Surgeon General
Wyman of the public health and mar
inc hospital service, considers the situ
alton one of extreme gravity, and he
is of the opinion that unless the great
est care is exercised in the emergency
the disease may spread despite efforts
of the authorities to stamp it out IN
its incipiency.
1t is known that the authorities at
Washington have sent special medi-
cal expert to this city to investigate
the situation and make a report. Mean,
while the United States consuls at
mediterranean ports, where cholera
is now general, have been advised to
take extraordinary precautions to pre-
vent persons suspected of having chol
era from boarding steamships bound
for the United States, and to insist on
a rigorous regulation of quarantine
at all Italian ports.
Expressing the conviction that dras-
tic measures are imperative to prevent
the disease from gaining firm foot
hold in this country, Charles Dushkind
a lawyer, who is one of the most ac'
tive figures in the investigation OF
quarantine matters at this port now
being conducted by Charles N. Bulger
a special commissioner, appointed by
Governor Dix, has announced that he
would forward petition to the secre
tary of the treasury in Washington, re
questing that the federal government
at once assume charge of quarantine
matters at this port

Drastic Publicity Bill.

Washington. =, Campaign publicity
legislation of the most drastic nature
ever passed in either branch of Con
gress has been adopted by the Senate
practically without a dissenting vote
and was designed to require the pub
lication of expenditures before elec.
ton, which is not required by the ex-
isting publicity law.
Using the prediction publicity bill
passed by the House of Representa-
tives as basis, the Senate construct
ed proposed law with the following
important features:
No candidate for the Senate or
House shall spend in the election moro
than sum equal to 10 cents for each
voter in his district
No Senatorial candidate shall spend
a total of more than $4,000 in the pri-
mary and general election; and no can
didate for the House shall spend more
than $4,000.
Publicity must be given to all pri-
mary campaign contributions and ex-
penditures.
All general election expenses must
be made public before the election, be
ginning fifteen days before election
and making publication each six days
until election.
All promises of political jobs must
be made public. The bill further makes
it illegal to promise political places in
order to secure election support.

WOMAN SUSPECTED
OF EIGHT MURDERS
Sinister Trail of Death Is Left
by Mrs. Louise VermiIya,
Now Under Arrest.
MAY BE NEW BORGIA
Puts Arsenic in Pepper and Attempts
to End Her Own Life When Ar
rested-PoIice Claim She's a Moral
Monster of the Guinness Type.

Chicago-From obscurity to in
fanny in day is the surprising record
of Mrs. Louise Vermilya, the woman
of DEATH" as she has become known
in local criminal annals. One day an
ordinary woman, with nothing to diff
ierentiate her in public estimate from
thousands of other women, she sud
denly doomed up as one of the arch
prisoners of modern times.
Among those with whose murder
she is charged are two husbands, a
son, stepson, two stepdaughters and
two men who were her intimate
friends and who had lived in her
home Only a few weeks ago one
of these friends, Police Officer Arthur
Bisonette, to whom the woman says
she was engaged, was taken sick in
Mrs. Vermilya's home on East Tween
ty-ninth street, and later died in Mer-
cy Hospital The viscera of Biso-
nette we're subjected to chemical
analysis and enough arsenic to kill five
persons was found in the liver. Mrs.
Vermilya was placed under arrest, al
though permitted at first to remain I'M
der guard in her own home, and was
charged with the crime. which she in
dignantly denied. Then, one morning
after eating breakfast in her room
she was taken sick suddenly and her
case was at once diagnosed as one OF

poison. The poison was traced to a
pepper box, which she had insisted up
on being placed on her breakfast tray
The investigation which the police
have made into the woman's career
has brought to light a remarkable
story, which goes back a period of IS
years, when Mrs. Vermilya was living
with her first husband, Fred Brinkamp,
on farm near harrington, ILL., Brin-
kamp, who was twice his wife's age
and prosperous, was taken suddenly
sick and died, leaving his wife S., 600
worth of property. His death saved
him much sorrow, for in close success
sion, his daughters, Cora and Florence
aged and years respectively, took
sick like the father and died. Mrs
Vermilya, thus relieved of domestic
responsibility and with considerable
money in her possession, removed to
Chicago and here in a short time
married Charles Vermilya, a widower,
with one son, Harry G. The latter
was taken sick in 1904 and Mrs. Yer
milya nursed him. He died
Mrs. Vermilya now began keeping
boarders. The first of these was Rich
ard T. Smith, a railroad conductor,
whose relations with his landlady are
said to have been unduly intimate
Possibly the husband, Charles Yer
milya, was not wanted around. At
any rate in 1909 he was taken sick
&c uyiI {y,g
ance policy of $1,000 and the boarder,
Smith
There now remained in the Vermil-
va home her son, Frank Brinkamp, by
her first husband and the boarder,
Smith. The son was taken sick, was
nursed by his mother and died, leav
ing her an insurance policy of $1,000.
This was last year. Early last spring
Smith sickened and died of acute
gastritis."
Officer Bisonette now became the
star boarder. According to Mrs. Yer
milya they were engaged to be mar
ried. Recently he acquainted Mrs.
Vermilya with his engagement to an
other. and his sickness followed 1t
was diagnosed as acute gastritis, The
chemical analysis showed, however
that death was caused by arsenical
poisoning.
Mrs Vermilya is emphatic in her
denial of guilt. She claims her life has
been an open one and that she always |
has been religious woman. The po- |
lice assert that she is moral mon
ster, patterned after the Guinness wo-
man, who maintained plentifuly ten
