DIVIDED ON
SLEEPING SICKNESS
Influenza, Says One; DUN
Germ, Another Insists.

DR.. Royal S. Copeland. Health Com
missioner, declared yesterday that there
was no indication of spread of the
newly discovered infectious disease, cpl
demic coma, which claimed its first
fatality here on Thursday. The eight
cases reported in New York have been
placed under the supervision Of a nerve
specialist No additional cases were re-
ported yesterday.
DIR. Otto Il, Eichel of the State Health
Department, who made an investigation
OF the recent influenza epidemic, agrees
with DR.. Copeland that the disease is
not the so-called sleeping sickness"
which is found in tropical Africa. He
believes 1t TO be another variety OF in
fluenza and says that some cases &C.

demic In 1890.
Influenza encephalitis" DR. Eichcl
said, may occur during an attack OF

but 1t probably results from the work

panied By unconsciousness The coma
lasts from one to fourteen days. We do
not know whether there were any such

DR., Copeland disputes the theory that
epidemic coma is post-innuenza dis

MARTA REPEATED
AT METROPOLITAN
Caruso Is in Good Voice
Nine. Barrientos Sings
Fluently.

Flotow's Marta which had a long
rest, naturally became fixture once
more in the Metropolitan Opera House
repertoire. when the company contained
not only Enrico Caruso but a soprano
to whom the role of Lady Henrietta
was congenial. The company as at
present constituted has two. Frieda
Hempel, who sings during the first part
OF the season. and Maria Barrientos
who is here during the latter part. The
opera is, therefore. once again firmly
established in public favor
II was repeated last night before an
audience that packed the house and
gave every evidence OF satisfaction. Mr.
Caruso, who Is preparing to celebrate
the conclusion of his twenty fifth year
on the stage, was in good voice. His
tones were clearer. smoother and
steadier than at his last previous APP
pearance, and his attack was free and
without signs of effort. When his
powers are in such good condition he
always sings Lionel admirably.
, Mime. Barrientos was by no means
the merriest of comedians in the early
scenes, but in the more serious cpl
sodes she was better. She sang the
music fuently and had the usual
amount OF applause for THE Last Rose
