SUSPECTED CASE OF
CHOLERA ON STEAMER
Federal Health Officer NauIty Says
Sick Man Aboard Kirby Bank Has
Symptoms Of Disease.
EXPERTS EXAMINE THE PATIENT

cholera on board. The Kirby bank
has been held up pending a more
rigid examination, while the other
two were passed as being all right.
The two passed were the Bedekburne
and Castleventre, both of Huelva,
Spain. They were thoroughly ex-
amined by Federal Health Officer of
this port, DR.. c. W. Naulty, Jr, and
found to be in good condition. All
foodstuffs were examined and the
temperature of all on board taken
for any signs Of the cholera. Both
ships were under suspicion, because
they had touched at Genoa, Italy,
before arriving at this port, and it
was feared that the crew might
have come into contact with some
form of the disease there. Both were
passed by the inspector and allowed
to dock.
At present the harbor appears TO
be filed with steamers, one anchor
ed off Bayard's, another off the ferry
slip, and one further up the stream.
Complain About Law.
Captains of incoming steamers,
which are forced to come to anchor
for quarantine inspection, are COM
planning about the law which requir-
es that they anchor their ships at
both ends, and inside of the buoys.
They say that it is very inconvenient
to get the ship anchored at both
ends, so that the tide will not affect
it, and suggest that other means be
found to anchor them.
1t has been suggested and will
probably be carried through next
summer, that a large buoy be placed
between the two quarantine buoys
now in the bay. When steamer
| comes in it can tie stern line to
1 the buoy, and swing off, and then
anchor from the bow. In this way,
several steamers may tie to this buoy,
and swing off like the spokes of a
wheel.
This system would be a good one
today, there being three steamers
anchored in the bay at the present
time. On account of their swinging
with the tide only two can anchoI
= inside the quarantine buoys at on
= time, the others being forced to an
{ chor down the bay and wait

What seems to be g case Of chol-
era exists on board the steamship,
Kirby Bank, which arrived in port
last night from Tampico, Mexico.
The steward became i'll soon after
the vessel set out from Mexico and
became worse. When Federal Health
Officer Dr. Charles w. Naulty, Jr,
saw the victim today he says the man
bore all the symptoms Of a genuine
case Of cholera. AS a result the
dreaded yellow flag was ordered
hoisted on the mast on the Kirby
Bank, to warn other vessels to keep
away, and the United States officials
of the public marine hospital service
were notified. DR.. Won Ezborf, of
Mobile, and DR.. Herring, two gov
ernment experts from Washington,
D. c., called to New York to assist
DR.. Doty in watching cholera de-
velopments there, were ordered to
this port to examine the patient.
Experts Examine Man.
DR.. Won Ezborf and DR.. Herring
boarded the steamer in company
with DR.. Naulty this afternoon and
viewed the i'll steward. They found
certain suspicious symptoms Of
cholera, but the history of the case
was not typical of that of cholera.
The specialists took specimens of
blood, etc, back with them to the
New York quarantine station, where
a preliminary examination will be
made this afternoon. If the slight
est suspicion is reported after the
examination, or If a preliminary re-
port cannot be had this afternoon
the Kirby Bank must go back out in
the bay outside of the dredged chan
mel tonight to prevent any possible
infection in this port.
City in No Danger.

CAUSES DELAY
Liberty Hook & Ladder Com
pany Getting Anxious.

A delay in the erection of a new
fire house for Liberty Hook and Lad
der Company has resulted because
title for the property in Wayne street
on which the house was to be erect
ed, has not yet ben perfected. The
city authorities have been laboring
for the past few weeks to secure a
perfect title to the land, but up to
this time they have not been able to
do so. For that reason the contract
with Hans Krogh for erection Of the
house has not been signed.
Some of the members Of Liberty
Hook and Ladder Company are be-
coming restless about the matter. A
prominent member of the company
approached a NEWS representative
yesterday and said there was most
likely a flaw in the title of, the prop
erty and for that reason the work

 Pamsetgaaf observatory reported last night that the rainfall for Thurs day was l3-lO0 of an inch, while for yesterday the measurement was 61-100 giving total precipitation of nearly quarters of an inch for the storm. This establishes a new record for this section for this time of the year.

PASTOR ELECTED FROM DENVER
 CHURCH

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 27.-Rev. w.. s. Rudolph is nursing various 'euts and bruises and a number of other members of the Union Presbyterian church are using soothing lotions to- day as a result of ten minutes of lively fisteuffs over church affairs. In the fight the pastor was thrown through d window.
 Dr. Rudolph, with a number of his friends, was sitting quietly in the rear of the auditorium of the church while trustees and other church work CTS arraigned the pastor in severe terms for attempting to retain pos session of the church after he had resigned from the board of governors.
 Then a motion was carried to gO into executive session in a room ad. joining the church and the pastor and his friends inferentially were in- vited to absent themselves.
 Dr. Rudolph, however, led his CO., horts around to back door and en- tered the room. A fight immediately became general. Women in mysteries bolted into the open air, while a dozen or more men punched at each other in grim and almost silent earn estness, several of them becoming en- gagged while attempting to act as peaeemakers.
 Dr. Rudolph and his church are prominent, and the affair has caused a great stir throughout the city.
