audience.
In the meantime the county author
tiles are much exercised over the

KILLING HEAT CONTINUES;
ONE DEAD, MANY STRICKEN
Typhoid RACES
at Skillman

SKILLMAN, July Am epidemic
of typhoid fever has broken out al
the State Village for EpiIeptics here,
Up to last night ten cases had been
reported. all of them among the in
mates and medical staff of the in
stitution. 1t has been found neces-
sary to import two doctors from st.
Francis's Hospital to fill out the staff
at the village.
An inspector from the State Board
of Health made an investigation at
the village yesterday in an effort to
trace the source of the epidemic. So
far all the cases have arisen in one
building, known as the Bergen ward.
1t is thought hat the infection came
from what Is known as a carrier"
case. in which the dread disease is
transmitted by contact. The supposed
carrier" has been isolated in the eff
fort to prevent further infection.
Last fall a similar epidemic broke
out in the same building, and at that
time all those In Bergen Ward were
vaccinated with the new typhoid anti
toxin. known as typho-vacterin. Up
to last night no deaths had resulted.

MILITARY FOURTH FOR |
NEXT YEAR SUGGESTED

An all-day celebration of July 4
next year, with band concerts, MILF.
tary and patriotic features, has been
suggested by c.. ALERT Gasser. SUI
p~erintendent of the department OF
combustibles. who has succeeded in
making independence Day in the city
safe and ane. The suggestion. In the
form of a letter and a tentative pro-
gram, was sent today by Mr.. Gasser.
to Mart King. supervisor of band
concerts, who has had charge of the
civic celebration of the Fourth IN
the past.
MIR. Gasser's plan is to put the First
Regiment under orders with fun pay
on the Fourth and have feid day ex-
e~rcises at Branch Brook and Wee
quahic Parks under canvas all day.
The routine would be somewhat like
raising of colors, a salute at sunrise,
drills, reading of the Declaration OF
Independence, band concerts and field
sports occupying the day. and a re-
view Of the regiment. by the Mayor
at night.
School children and cadet organiza-
tions would have a part In the pro-
gram and it is suggested hat the
day would be ideal for a Grand Army
meeting.
If sufficient money could not be OBJ
tanned by appropriation, MIR. .Gasser
believes popular subscriptions might
be obtained. He believes hundreds
would gladly contribute to a stirring
celebration of this kind.
Mr.. King is addressed as the man
to take up the plan because. of his
management Of the band concerts and
Fourth affairs. The band supervisor
will put the matter up to The proper
committee of the council at once, SO
that if a gala day is decided upon
for 1913, ample time will be given to
arrange it properly.
