A NEW CASESOF
 INFLUENZA ARE
 FOUND IN C|TY
Some Reported Yesterday
 Are Severe, According to Health Officers; People Cautioned to Obey Rules

Fourteen new cases of Spanish influ- enza in Phoenix, some mild and some severe, were reported to the office of Dr. U. Ii. Brown, state health officer, yesterday, Dr. Frederic T. Fahlen. of the United States Health service, re- ported last night.
 In the absence of Dr. Brown, who is In charge of the epidemic at Winslow Where there are 500 cases, Dr. Fahlen IS handling the situation at headquar- terS, together with his own work for the government. He said last night: Some of the cases reported by Phoe- nix physicians today are severe. Up to today the cases reported were of a milder type of the disease.
 Should Use All Care
 The people should redouble their precauuon, restrict themselves pri- vately as they have done publicly. They should supplement the closing of public places by remaining away from prlVate gatherings, eliminating socials, parties and all similar pastimes.
 Conditions here are different than Tn other places where the disease has become a severe epidemic. Phoenix has warm climate, and even at this tune of year the people sleep either outdoors or with all windows open. This is favorable to only light epi- demic. But to make it a light epidemic the people must not lower their guard for moment. All precautionary measures should be taken until all dan ger has passed. Especially is this true about avoiding crowds and not going near persons suspected of having the disease.
 Hope For Mild Epidemic
 nave seen some very severe cases today. Those to develop heretofore have been of milder type. This in it. self should be sufficient to induce the people to take every precaution. If this IS done. it is my personal opinion, the influenza can be confined to a mild ep- idemic here"
 pr. Fahlen reported cases in Peoria, at Miami and at Holbrook. He said that the situation at Winslow is now well in hand and that he expects to hear more favorable reports from there soon. He said that two Los Angeles physicians had reinforced Dr. Brown in the work at Winslow and that a government laboratory man was now on his way to Winslow.
 Public Places Closed
 That part of the ordinance closing theaters and other places and prohib lting gatherings in public which went into effect in Phoenix yesterday, was rigidly enforced by the police depart ment. That part of the ordinance, SUD- plemented with an order from Dr. H. K. Beauchamp, city health officer, making 1t mandatory for drinking places and restaurants to sterilize all glasses and dishes after each service was not fully observed yesterday, but no arrests were made because of the inability of some to eqpip themselves upon so short notice. But arrests will follow today unless the ordinance is fully observed, according to advices last night from the health and police departments.
 Send Nurses North
 Governor Hunt yesterday received a wire from Winslow appealing for more doctors and nurses and medical SUD- plies. The governor in response sent one doctor and six nurses to Winslow with supplies. The governor also sent one doctor and two nurses to Holbrook He received report that there were so cases being cared for in the Winslow high school building which has been turned into hospital and that in the town there is total of approximately 800 cases. Seventy cases were reported in Holbrook
