EPIDEMIC TYPHUS
TAKING THOUSANDS
EVEN NATIVE SERBIAN DOCTORS
ARE FALLING VICTIMS OF
THE DISEASE.

LONDON, March Appalling sto-
ries of conditions in Serbia were told
here yesterday by Ernest Bicknell
and Henry James, Jr., of the war
relief committee of the Rockefeller
Foundation, after tour of inspection
through that country.
Typhus, most deadly of the several
epidemics in Serbia. already has
caused the death of 90 out of 400
native doctors, they said Foreign
Red Cross units have suffered great
losses. Two American and one Brit
ish units have had to suspend regu-
lar work because of typhus. Nine
American nurses and two physicians
have contracted the disease.
The commissioners went first to
Nish, then Belgrade, and Uskub, the
three most pOpuIous towns. They
learned that typhus, typhoid fever,
cholera, smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and recurrent fever were exist
ing in more or less epidemic form.
Recurrent fever heads the list in
number of cases, but that seldom is
fatal. Typhus is particularly deadly
Smallpox and diphtheria. are dimin-
ishing
The Serbians assert that typhus
was introduced by Austrian prisoners
of war who spread the vermin which
conveys the disease germ. No figures
are available on the number of cases,
but the commissioners believe the
mortality is SO heavy as to bring
the situation within their purview.
Physicians and sanitary experts are
needed, but unless they are fully
equipped with medicine and with fur
nishings for their living quarters, it
would be unwise for them to go to
Serbia because they probably would
contract the disease.
Mr. James said the situation could
be dealt with effectively only by a
joint organization OF medical units
operating for strict sanitary control.

HEARING
NOW DELAYED
FOR A MONTH
FINAL HEARING ON FIRST
WRIT is POSTPONED UNTIL
APRIL 1o--HABEAS CORPUS
WRIT is SIGNED.

NEW YORK, March 19.-As the
sworn out in his behalf and the re-
sultant legal tangle. Harry Kendall
Thaw is in no danger OF being re-
turned to the state hospital for the
criminal insane at Meatteawan for at
least'a month.
Supreme Court Justice BLUR, signer
of two writs of habeas corpus in
Thaws behalf, said today after a
conference with counsel for Thaw,
the sheriff of New York county, the
warden of the Tombs prison and rep
reSentatives of the state attorney
generals office, that Thaws attorney
could, by means of securing apjOurn-
ments, delay the final hearing upon
the first writ, secured early in the
week, until April 19. John b. Stanch-
field, Thaw's chief counsel, said he in
tended to take such moves.
Justice Blur late last night signed
a second writ of habeas corpus bring
ing up the issue that Thaw's commit
ment to Matteawan is illegal. The
first writ was designed to bring a test
of Thaw's sanity. Both writs were
returned to Justice BLUR today.
Hearing on the first he adjourned un-
til later today. The second was re
ferred to Justice Alfred Page, before
whom trial of Thaw was recently con-
Quoted.
This writ, it was admitted, was
simply a technical move. AS Justice
Page had already ordered the return
of Thaw to Matteawan he was eX-
pected to promptly dismiss the sec
ond writ. Then the order of Justice
lngraham, requiring That Thaw be
kept in the Tombs until argument
was heard upon the appeal from Jus
tice Pages decision was to be served
After this Justice Blur said he
would grant Thaw's attorneys a week
adjournment upon writ No. l and
at the end of each week for the fol
lowing two, similar adjournments
would be granted.

B. S. GIBSON TO AGAIN
MANAGE HOTEL ST. SIMON
He Has Not Surrendered the Manage.
ment of Popular Hosiery as
Has Been Stated.

Patrons in all sections of the state
of the New Hotel St. Simon will be
glad to learn that the popular hostel
ry will again be under the manage
ment Of B. S. Gibson this summer, and
that he will arrive on the island short
ly to begin for the formal opening in
May.
When it was announced some weeks
ago that the firm of Bum & Gibson
had been dissolved it was stated that
Mr. Gibson had retired from the firm
and that the hotel would be operated
under the management of Mr. Bum.
This seems to have been mistake,
however, as it was stated authorita-
lively yesterday that Mr. Gibson
would again manage the hotel this
summer.
