NEW YORK AIDS NEARBY STATES
 IN PLAGUE WAR

New York, July 13.-Health officers said today that they were doing their best to prevent the spread of infantile paralysis from this city to other com munities. Residents of infected dis tricts here have been warned that they will encounter stern quarantine meas ures if they leave the city. Out of town health authorities have been asked to report any persons arriving from infected areas in New York city.
 To enable other towns and cities to do this the local board of health is distributing broadcast lists of ad- dresses where cases of the disease have been found here. The New Jer- sey state health department last night reported the total number of cases in the state as 60, with Il new cases for the day. The state health department has announced that it would not de- clare a quarantine against New York city but would leave that to the local boards.
 Many of the New Jersey towns near est New York have not hesitated to turn back children, not only those who come from New York but those from other places. At Edgewater, a small town on the west bank of the Hudson, opposite northern Manhattan, the po- lice not only guarded the New York ferry but established motorboat pa trol to prevent children from crossing the river in other craft.
 In Connecticut and New York state towns immediately north of this city, health and police authorities are meet ing all incoming trains and trolley cars and even stopping automobiles and turning back all children under Is.
 Mayor Mitchell, local health authori- ties and eminent physicians who are cooperating with them believe that every known physical precaution has been taken to check the epidemic. The physicians now will concentrate their attention upon laboratory work in an effort to isolate the germ of the dis ease and find a preventive or cure. In this connection there is great interest in meeting to be held in the rooms of the New York Academy of Medicine tonight at which papers will be read by experts on infantale paralysis.
 Questioned about report that a New York physician had discovered the germ of the disease, Health Com missioner Emerson replied:
 2 "If anyone knows more about it than Dr. Simon Flexner, of the Rock efeller Institutes it's news to me and believe would have had a tip be- fore now"

 The regular monthly meeting of the Mems club was held last evening at the home of H. s. Barnes. The speaker was Judge Robert Y. Wilkins of tho New York Juvenile court. t Last Sundays New York Times contained fine portrait of Richard Mansfield, 2d.. who Is to make his de- but on the professional stage the. coming season.

Uncle Billy" Doing New York With 100
 Southern Retainers

New York, July 13-"Uncle Billy Witham is in town today with his cohorts 100 strong. That will mean a great deal more to a Southerner than to anyone else, for all Southern CTS know that every year Uncle Billy" as his men affectionatly call him, believes in getting away from home and bringing with him the men who have made for him that extens- i've financial institution in the South, known as the "Witham Banks. New York was chosen this year and the Witham fraternity arrived last night. At II o'clock yesterday morning the
 observation elevator of the Wool worth building was the centre of a swirl of "Witham Bankers" as their blue badges proclaimed. Uncle Billy" short and stout, with a grey checked suit, white moustache and goatee. a tapping the floor excitedly with his cane and vigorously chew ing an unlighted cigar, directed the charge on the Woolworthi elevator system. Funniest man you ever see" remarked one of his followers, "and the kindest hearted Keeps you laughin' all the time.'' (This in broad Georgian.)
 Again at the observation platform Uncle Billy pointed out to his thfong the wonders of Manhattan Island, re- counting to them the story of the Statute of Liberty, and telling them about. Ellis Island. That's where your father came" he said as he grabbed one of the younger members of his flock. The interned, German liners, the largest clock in the world, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the rest were all expounded. Then he told to them the story of the barefoot Wool worth, who came to this country pen- niless. 43l
 "I'd like to have a lot of statues of that man. this long, he said, measur- ing off foot on his arm, and would put them in every Witham bank to show the boys how nickles and dimes made the merchant prince of the land. Yes, sir, the merchant prince of the land. Save your dimes. Rufe, I want you to get a booklet it home and preach to your Sunday. school. ~
 What do I think of the 'Deutsch- Ianu! well, SIT, that to me IS the most startling event of the war Did you read my telegram to them?s I'd have sent the same to a black Afri- can"
 He hitched his red knitted necktie in admiration.
 Talk of. Southern hospitality, well you Northern folks are giving us the time of our lives" This from one of his men. @ certain MT. Kyte of At lanta. Why do you know our money might just as well be counterfeit. They won't let us spend it."
 A few moments later the elevator closed on the last of thep arty and Uncle. Billy" smiling broadly, his face flushed, waved his hand to the. attendant in uniform at the platform, of the fifty-fourth story
