Unless Outside Help is Civ en There Is Little Hope of
 Checking It.

Warsaw, Jan. 24-Inferior sani- tary arrangements on the Russo-Po- fish frontier are said to be responsi- ble for the alarming epidemic of ty- phus which is raging in Poland and the Baltic provinces. More than million cases of the disease have been reported to Red Cross officials
 Refugees from Russia cross the Polish border without being inspected by health authorities it is said, and many of them are said to be suffer ing from typhus or to be infes sd with Verrnin which carry the disease Regulations are so lax that these peo- pie are permitted to mingIe with the people on this side of the frontier and typhus has spread with amazing - "a apidity. The only way of handling the situation is to erect sanitary sta- tions, with delousing plants. at fre- quent intervals along the border, but Poland and the Baltic states are un- able to aid financially, in this under taking. Unless outside assistance is forthcoming it is said, there is lit- tle hope of combating the epidemic.

 KENNEDY DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL
Deceased Thought Elevator Shaft Was a
 Room.

That Thomas Kennedy of Green wich fell down an elevator shaft to his death because he thought the shaft was a room, was the finding of Coroner Phelan made today. He finds that Kennedy's death was due to accidental causes. The deceased was a stone mason 52 years old.
 On January he went to the garage of the Greenwich Cab Co.,, where his employer, John L. Duge, was assign ing men to work. It was decided that Kennedy was to work at Bruce Mem oria1 park but as the weather looked threatening Kennedy did not care to go. It is thought that he opened the door leading to the elevator shaft thinking he was stepping into a room and would thereby escape Duge's ob- servation. Later Kennedy's body was found at the bottom of the shaft. The man fell about ten feet.
