FEAR OF PLAGUE KEPT
HUNDREDS FROM HONE
Army of Excursionists Forced to
Remain All Night in Ferry House

After spending the night in railroad
and ferry waiting rooms. an army Of
excursionists with children were per-
mtted yesterday morning to leave for
their homes in New Jersey and Penn
sylvania. They had been refused exit
from the city Sunday night because
they did not have health certificates,
and because neither the federal nor
city health authorities had representa-
tives on hand to arrange for their re-
turn.
DR.. ]. S. Billings, assistant health
commissioner. said yesterday that he
would send an inspector to the super
intendents of the ferryboat houses to-
day 70 request them TO put large signs
on their boats and in the waiting rooms.
Dr. Billings suggested that these signs
read: Residents of New Jersey and
other States, with children under six
teen years. coming TO New York City
by this boat will not be allowed TO re-
turn to New Jersey unless they have
a permit from the Unitd States public
health authorities, or q certificate from
their local health officer, to the effect
that there has been no case of infan-
tile paralysis at their homes"
Many parents applied for relief at
police precincts yesterday morning.
Some did not know that health GER
tifcates were needed to leave the city
Clean bills of health could not be is
sued to them Sunday, because they
had not been here twenty-four hours.
The United States Public Health
Service has issued warning to railroads
and towns outside of the State tina,
brought to the city, unless
they had local health certificates, were
subject to detention.

Cases of infantile paralysis have been

am certain that its spread is largely
due to unsanitary conditions. IL is not

Oyster Bay Adopts
Drastic Quarantine


Oyster Bay. N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
Town Board Of Oyster Bay, on the rec
ommendation Of Deputy State Health
Commissioner Leslie r. Williams, and
over the heated objections of Super
visor James Cocks, adopted to-day a
more drastic quarantine law TO combat
the spread of infantle paralysis. Seven
new cases were reported to-day, and in
the last week there have been twenty
nine new cases in the township.
The new rules provide that not only
shall the houses in which the disease
has appeared be kept under strict
quarantine, but all houses in which
there are suspected cases shall be quar-
antined for six weeks.
On the complaint of many wealthy
residents Of the Centre Island colony
the board ordered out of town boys
camp on Centre Island which is run
under the direction Of st. Johns
Church, New York. There are eighty
boys at the camp, and the residents
asked that they be sent back to New
York.
Several residents of Long Island sub
scribed to-day enough money to erect
an isolation hospital in Garden City TO
take care Of new cases of the disease
in that section. F. N. Doubleday gave
81 900 toward the hospital.
Under the direction of DR.. Williams
the new quarantine rules are to be put
into effect in every town on Long ISL
and. The cleanup of the various viii
lagos under DR.. Williams's supervision
is proceeding rapidly, but the spread
of the plague on the island has not as
yet been checked.

eral More, Including
Police, Predicted.

An actual illustration of how white
slave masters get young school girls
into their power was revealed yester-
day TO the District Attorney by poor
East Side man, the father Of several
children. The victim was fifteen years
old. he said, and attended the grammar
school. One day she was missing
Months afterward the story OF her dis
appearance came out.
"A we'll dressed youth, who had been
seen lettering near the schoolhouse,
spoke to her, and the following day
was on hand with a box Of candy. A
campaign of ice cream, moving pictures,
automobile rides to Coney Island and
finally a visit to Broadway at night
followed, the father said.
Weeks later the heartbroken parent
learned that his pretty daughter had
been an inmate of resort in the old
Tendcrloin for some time.
Similar
A similar attempt, he told Assistant
District Attorney James Z. Smith, was
made to recruit an older daughter,
eighteen years old, but it failed. Both,
he was certain, were executed by an
agent of Sam Kirsch, alias "Sam the
Pedler," now under arrest.
The story, Mr.. Smith says, corrobo-
rates the confessions of Yushe Botwin,
indicted for white slavery as a result
of the investigation of police graft.
Botwin has admitted that up TO the
time Of his arrest he had lured school
girls and that he was living on 10
per cent commission on the earnings
of fifty young women.
Five more procurers were arrested
Yesterday and committed to the House
