TYPHOID MARY'S" RIVAL
GOES BACK TO HOSPITAL

SACRAMENTO, Cal. Jan. H.
Harry Olsen, a sailor, whose record
for spreading typhoid germs is said
to exceed that of Typhoid Mary"
who caused the health authorities of

years ago, yesterday was ordered
back to the United States Marine
Hospital, after enjoying his freedom
for three months.
Between August, 1893, and Febru-
airy, 1912, when he was a sailor on the
ship Acme, more than thirty men
contracted typhoid fever from him
and three died. Olsen was detained
and isolated at the United States
Marine Hospital.
Last October the doctors, believing
Olsen cured, released him on pro-
baton He obtained employment on
steam schooner, but not month
had elapsed before two men were at
tackled by typhoid. One man died.
Olsen was discharged to prevent
mutiny among the crew, and he must
now return to the hospital for fur
ther treatment.
