Doctors Deny Cases
Of Spanish Grip
Were Found on Ship
Pneumonia Throught to
Have Stricken Arrivals
From Europe

Attending physicians at the Nor
wegian Hospital in Brooklyn did not
believe yesterday that the twelve
patients taken there from the Nor
wegian steamship Bergensfjord were
suffering from spanish Influenza"
Dr. Edward E. Cornell, the visiting
physician in charge of the patients,
said nine of the cases have been dag
nosed as pneumonia or broncho-pneu
monia, and are being treated as such.
Three other cases have been loosely
diagnosed as grip, or influenza, and
are receiving appropriate attention.
The death of Mrs. Jensine Olsen, of
,309 Stone Street, Flint, Mich, who
was the most seriously affected of
those brought ashore from the vessel
on Monday, said DR.. Cornell, was really
due 10 pneumonia. Two physicians of
the hospital concurred in this dag
nosis.
The patients, added the doctor, we're
doing fairly we'll yesterday, with the
exception of nine-yea old Arvid Sand
strom, who is said to be in serious
condition with broncial pneumonia.
Efforts, said DR.. Cornell, are being
made to isolate and identify the germs
in order that the correct nature of the
illness may be determined. So far, he
said, he has been unable to observe
anything that would lead him to be-
lieve that the cases are anything more
than pneumonia or ordinary grip
Two members of the crew of the
Bergensfjord we're taken to the Nor.
wegian Hospital last night suffering
from high fevers. 1t is thought they
may possibly have Spanish influenza
The two new patients, August Erick.
son, waiter, and Duger Rusta, sea
man, are said to be suffering from
pneumonia.
In a bulletin issued yesterday the
Board of Health stated that the public
had no reason to fear an epidemic OF
introduction of the disease that spread
over Spain with large mortality.
The very mildness of the disease
says the bulletin, is assurance against
any anxiety on this side of the water
The symptoms-fever general aching
of the joints and head, catarrh of the
nasal and bronchial mucous membranes
usually run their course in about
three days.

Barney Howard, of "Howard's Bears

when man jumped from the car at
the centre of the Brooklyn Bridge,

Musing on the softly lighted plat

the realization that an express had slid
gently and noiselessly into the station.
A guard in spotless white uniform was
just closing the door. He opened it
with a pleasant smile to let the pas
senger on board.

The softly shaded bulbs filled the car
with pleasant glow. Passengers leaned
back comfortably on the generous

smoothly the train sped along. Others
were reading a modest placard dis
