the day shift was composed Of TAO
men, but later the larger figure was
given out by the officers. About 500
were brought to the surface alive by
rescue parties up to noon and the
managers Of the mine then expressed
the opinion that there was no further
hope for those remaining below. The

Atlanta, October Is: Eleven out
of the twelve employees of the state
board Of health are i'll today in their
homes victims Of diphtheria which they
contracted in the office of the board at
the capitol The offices have been
closed. The affair has made a tremen-
dous sensation, and an official investi-
cation may follow. Although DR.. H.
F. Harris, secretary of the board,
blames it all on the country physicians
whom he says, have not sent the diph-
iberia cultures properly through the
mails, the epidemic has revived criti-
cism previously levelled at DR.. Harris,
charging incompetence and improper
management. DR.. Harris and DR.. l..
L. Patillo are the only persons con-
nected with the state board who did
not contract the disease. DR.. Harris
has issued a statement in which he
takes to task the country doctors who
have been In the habit of sending diph-
iberia cultures to the capitol through
the mail. He says many Of the doc
tors have simply been placing a part
of the infected matter between two
pieces of paper and sending it in an
ordinary envelope. All the mail is
opened together. and the germs have
got scattered around the offices. DR.
Harris admits that these improperly
packed packages, which are in viola
tion Of Federal laws, have been receiv-
ed almost daily for some time past. He
says he has notified the country doc
tors not to send the cultures that way
but that they kept on coming and
nothing else was done to put stop to
the dangerous practice.
