The dispute between factions of the
citizenship of Woodmere, Long Island,
regarding the opening of the new isola-
tiOn hospital for paralysis patients
erected by wealthy citizens of the town,
reached sucn an acute stage yesterday
that Franklin b. Lord, jr., went TO AL
bany to confer with Governor whit
man. II is understood that Mr.. Lord
will ask the Governor to request the
State Board of Health to order the
opening OF the hospital, but prior to
this action it is not believed that any
attempt will be made to put children
into the place.
Rival groups of self-appointed vigi-
lantes surrounded the hospital last
night, one group determined that II
should be opened for the reception of
patients and the other equally deter
mined that il should remain closed.
The faction favorinC the opening OF
the building declares the other side in
tends to burn it down, and that II Will
be guarded closely.
Originally the hospita! vas intended
TO care for all cases in Nassau County.
but recently the Health Board Of Wood
mere held a special meeting and limit
ed the patients to children Of the
school district in which the building
stands. To see that these orders were
enforced DR.. Howard Phipps. Health
Officer. mounted guard over the
structure. John HOwes Burton, a large
contributor 10 the hospital fund and
one Of its principal supporters, said
the orders of the Board of Health
would be disregarded.
Mr. Burton has also been chosen
chairman Of a committee to prevent
the spread Of infantile paralysis on
the Rockaway Peninsula. The COM
mittee already has obtained the ser
vices Of specialists in paralysis and
has rented a house at Cedarhurst in
which they will reside. A laboratory
is also being erected for their use. and
cases which cannot be cared for at
home will be treated in pavilion
operated in connection with the labora-
tory.
