to join in the naming of an international

that two of the senatorial indorserS of

Presidents action. when taken, will be at
the direction Of Congress.

The official total Of the dead since De-

cases reported to the authorities, but
these do not include some who have died
and been taken outside of the municipal

Twenty-Six Still III.
About twenty-six persons are still seri-

The fact that a great proportion of the
deaths might have been prevented If the
cause of the sickness had been more
promptly established has excited much
criticism. The authorities in replying to
this assert that both ptomaine and wood
alcohol were responsible for the early
cases. but these were undoubtedly most
ly caused by ptOmaine poisoning.
