TYPHOID OUTBREAK
AT POST ASCRIDED
TO WATER SOURCE.

Belief that the typhoid outbreak at
SchOfield Barracks came from one oil
the big water sources OF the post.
the Koolau mountains. was expressed
today by Col William E. Banister,
Medical Corps, who is in close touch
with the cases there.
Schofield has two water sources
one from the kOolau mountains and
the other from Waianae range. Thus
far, COL Banister says, the cases have
all come from among those drinking
the koOau supply.
The quartermaster's department is
engaged in putting a big dam and
tunnel system in the mountains. Last
August. according to the officer,
japanese man engaged in the work
rack in the mountains contracted ty-
phOid. This may be the source OF
the present cases
Col. l.. l.. Durfee. post commander,
stated today over the telephone that
every precaution has. been taken to
guard against the spread OF the dis
ease. The post is not excited over
it, as has been reported, he said. Or
ders have been issued to boil all
drinking water, and special care is
being taken against flies which seem
to be more numerous than usual at
the present time.
Col. r. G. Ebert said today that
there is no cause for alarm. that the
matter is being handled thoroughly
and that tbpro jC M endemic at the
post.
DR.. J. S. &. Pratt also assured the
Star-Eulletin that the outbreak is be-
ing handled with all precaution. He
does not class it as an epidemic, he
says. The doctor says that up to
today six positives and nine suspects
have been reported to him from Scho-
field. There has been but one death
reported, he says.
This death was of 7-year-old girl,
Dorothy Baker, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Leon Baker. Three cases
were to be brought in on the train
today and taken at once to Queens
hospital in the ambulance. Most of
the cases are among employees at
the post. Only two soldiers are said
to have the disease.
DR.. Pratt says that if the Peterson
lane and Emmeluth lane cases were
excepted, the city would be free of
typhoid. Practically all the present
cases have come from there, and the
original cases there came from Wal
pahu, where big luaua was held.
