STOCkPOLE LOSES IN
NOBLE FIGHT FOR LIFE
Anthrax Seemed to Be Yielding to
New Serum Treatment. But Heart
Collapsed.

New York. Oct. 15.-George r.
Stackpole. OF Riverhead, L. L., whose
case has been for six days the center
lof interest at Bellevue Hospital, died
at 3:S7 o'clock this morning as a re-
suit OF the disease of anthrax The
immediate cause of death was heart
failure brought on by the poison in
his system.
The physicians who have attended
him are inclined to believe that the
new serum prepared by DR. Eichhorn,
OF the Bureau OF Animal Industry, and
tried on Mr.. Stackpole for the first
time on a human being, was eff
flcacious. DR.. NJ. H. Silver, the
physician in charge, who has said con-
fidently the past three days that the
anthrax itself was under control. re-
serves final opinion until certain ex-
amlnations are made.
"Once the swelling in the infection
has spread" said Or. Charles Morris,
director of the Pathological Depart
ment at Bellevue, who has had charge
of the blood tests. chances are about
gone. The course Of Mr.. Stackpole' =
case is similar to that observed In
cases elsewhere. Before the end the
ravaGes OF the disease seem to lessen
and the signs are more hopeful. But
the heart Is weak and In perhaps
twenty-four hours. perhaps more. dur
Ing which the patient is continually
weakening. 1t collapses."
