Warnings against a panic were is
sued by the mayor and by the health
commissioner. The latter said the ia
talities from infantiIe paralysis had
not been nearly so great as from other
epidemics. He pointed out that in the
last epidemic of measles here there
were from 600 to 900 cases a day, while
the mortality ranged from 20 to 60 per
cent. More lives were lost and more
permanent injuries resulted from
measles last year than will enSue from

INRANT1LB PARALYSIS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The City of New York Is struggling
with one of the worst epidemics OF in
fantile paralysis that have ever occur
red IN this country, and the whole OF
New York state is alarmed over the
possibility of it's spread. Children are
being excluded from moving picture
shows and Sunday schools, and many
other schools are being closed, and all
gatherings of children are permitted
only under the most careful medical
supervision. Although not as wide
spread so far as the epidemic which
occurred in 1907 and 1908, this one is
MORE deadly. More than 25 per cent of
the victims have died. although here
tofore the percentage of mortality has
never been above Is, and generally
much lower.
The terrors of infantile paralysis, or
pol1omyelitis. as 1t is technically term
ed. are greatly increased by the mys-
terry which surrounds the disease and

ganism causing it has been isolated
and studied. 1t is also known that the
disease is communicable, but the means
by which the germs are conveyed from
one person to another have never been
finally and certainly determined. There
seems to be no social or hygienic en-
vlronment which is especially produc-
tive of the disease. 1t strikes children
OF all classes and all ages between
nine months and sixteen years, al
though the great majority of its VIC

There was no epidemic of the disease
in this country prior to 1907. when New
York had 1000 cases, of which about 6

have been several minor epidemics, and
there is every evidence of a steady in
crease of the disease. Though far less
deadly and widespread, it presents

Quarantine Against New York.

An absolute quarantine against New
York children under sixteen years of age
was put into effect and vigorously en-
forced in New Jersey today. No children
under that age will be allowed to enter
New Jersey cities from New York.
New Jersey children under sixteen years
of age will not be permitted to cross the
Hudson river into New York city.
This action mas been taken by the
health authorities of New Jersey to pre-

Ninety Per Cent. of Market

COMMERCE CHAMBER
NOT TAKING SIDES

A protest against the suggested
project of abandoning one street car
track on Market street and making ID
one-way thorougnfare for trolley
traffic was circulated among Market
street merchants today Those who
circulated the paper stated that be
tween 90 and 95 per cent of the mer
chants signed the protest against any
change in the car tracks.
, Some Market street business men
are talking of an agitation to have
the markets moved from King street
to Walnut. in retaliation against the
move by some King street merchants
to have Market street made one-way
trolley thoroughiare.
William B. Megear, president or the
Chamber Of Commerce, today stated
that the Chamber OF Commerce is not
back of the project to have one Mar
ket street trolley track abandoned
but IS merely acting as clearing
house for public opinion, just as It
does when any other important pub
lie question comes up. The ques-
tion of having some change made IN
the Market street trolley system has
been agitated for year or more
