ANTHRAX NOT SPREADING,
HEALTH OFFICER ASSERTS
Commissioner Emerson Says Wear
ing of Cheap Furs Is Not Ne
dunn of Contagion.

NEW YORK, February "a belief
which gained considerable currency
here early in the winter-that the COM
paratively rare disease known as an
thrax is spread by wearing cheap fur
is contradicted by Health Commits
siouer Emerson. In statement pub
iished today DR.. Emerson says that his
department has record of only nine
deaths from anthrax in 1915. and that
in every case the cause of the disease
was unknown. The nine victims fol-
low ed these occupations: Lawyer. can
dy-maker. medical student. govern
nent wcigher, 1aborer 1.-TWO cases.,
shoemaker. no occupation 1.-TWO cases..
If cat fur is such dangerous
source of Infection. says DR.. Emerson,
lit is miracle that the death rate
among those employed at Barren Island
in preparing the large consignments of
cat fur is not much greater than the
total number of anthrax cases al
legged to have been discovered in New
York city by the representatives OF the
state labor department. AS matter
OF fact. among those most closely as
ISOLATED with cats and cat fur no
cases of anthrax have developed.

Secretary Daniels Wants Nays
Supply Kept Intact.

Secretary Daniels of the Navy. before
the Senate public lands committee. to-
day opposed any law which would per-
init oil operators to remain on the
naval oil reserve lands in California.
He criticised the Walsh bill providing
leasing of oil lands and said that if
pending legislation should pass oil sup
plies would be so depleted in twenty
years that the navy would be forced
to buy it's oil from private firms at the
prevailing high prices. He recommend
ed holding those who had developed
the lands to their strict legal rights.
On a plentiful supply of oil for fuel
for the oil-burning battleships. he pre-
dicted the fate of future wars would
hinge, and foreseeing time when the
worlds supply would he so diminished
that the warships of other nations would
have to revert to other fuel, re declared
the protection of the navy's Oil supply
