1ypll,ls Death
Closes Ellis
Isle to Aliens
100 Immigrants Trans
ferred To- Hoffman After
Boy Succumbs; Station
Is Thoroughly Cleansed
Gates Shut Until Monday
Thousands Now ON Way Here
Will BE Kept ON Ships
Until Danger Is Past

A death from typhus fever at Ellis
Island yesterday caused Commissioner
Wallis to close the local Immigration
bureau for forty-eight hours and give
the place thorough cleaning and
fumigation.
The patient who died was Andreas
Steinbsck, a fve-year-old boy from
Jugo-Slavia. who came here recently
on steamship from the Levant. 1t ia
believed that the child was what is
known in medical parlsnce as an ambu-
liant case. the sort that carry the dis
case with no outward appearance of
illness until they are FRUSTRATED sud
denly.
1t has not been determined whether
the Steinbsck boy contracted the dis
else aboard ship or at Ellis Island. He
was the only one on the island who
had the disease and he was promptly
isolated. Under the circumstances the
medical authorities of the Public
Health Service were not fearful of a
spread of the disease, but Commits
sioaer Wallis as a measure of precau-
ton ordered that the entire immi-
grant complement of the island be
transferred to Hoffman Island for
observation.
The work of transfer began early
yesterday and the tedious task of en-
barking the 100 aliens and their bag
gage was practically completed last
night. Byron H. Uhl, Deputy Commits
sioner of immigration, had charge OF
tho transfer of the immigrants.
Although the island will not receive
steerage passengers until probably
Monday, the employees of the bureau
will be free to go to and from their
work, a none were exposed to the
contagion.
It is expected that about nine or ten
thousand immigrants will have arrived
here by the time the island is reopened,
but these will be kept aboard ship UNI
til the local bureau is ready to receive
them.
After announcing his decision to
close the island temporarily Commits
sioner Wallis said:
"We have found that an alien in de-
tention at Ellis Island has contracted
typhus fever. AS precaution we have
removed to Hoffman Island fox observa-
ton every alien who might possibly
have been exposed to the contagion.
All the hooks and crannies where the
immigrants lived are being thoroughly
disinfected. Until this work is com
pleted no passengers will be received at
Ellis Island 1t is the opinion of the
public health service at the island that
the case of typhus is an isolated one
and that the measures Of precaution
now being put into effect will prevent
any spread of the disease
According to municipal health Off
Gals, the isolated case discovered at
Ellis Island is largely due to the fail
ure of Congress to appropriate sufi-
cient funds to combat disease at this
and other ports.

twins fairly popped out of their heads.
This fellow was changing the shape of
his body right under their very noses!
Presently he had fully uncoiled and
started to crawl away. Then the
twins knew him for what he was-a
Snake.
Now, when they had seen little Mr..
Gartersnake and Mr.. Blacksnake they
had noticed that Mother Bear had
made motion as if she would have
tried to catch them if they hadn't
moved so fast. This Snake was NOV

Sherits Haze a Bad Day in
Nassau Court; One Loses Gun,
Poriiy Mr. Smith Has to Snap Out of 1t When
Justice Cropsey Demands a More Respect
ful Attitude; But Where Is Mr.. Wagner?

Sheriffs and ex-sheriAs had their day
yesterday in the Nassau County Su-
preme Court in Mineola, and found it
pretty bleak and chilly, with Justice
Cropsey in the ascendant. Charles W.
Smith, the Sheriff, lost his gum and his
equanimity, for both of which he long
has been famous. Herbert S. Harvey,
ex~Sheriff of Queens County, had TO
plead to an indictment charging him
with conspiracy and bribery.
Justice Cropsey, long exasperated by
dents of Nassau County appeared to
receive jury notices. called for infor-
nation from the Sheriff's Office as to
the manner of serving notices. being
vexed particularly because John c..
Wagner, of Floral Park, was missing,
although the records showed that a
notice had been left st his home.
What Justice Cropsey wanted TO
know first was who had written "Out
of the county" opposite Wagner's name
on the list of talesmen. The court at
tendant in charge of the list said that
he had. Somebody in the. Sheriff's Of
fee had told him Wagner was out Of
the county, he said-he couldn't re-
member just who.
At this Justice Cropsey said some
thing about forgery Of records and
called for the Sheriff. Sheriff Smith,
who is about six feet in diameter any
way you look at him, strolled ponder
ously forward, his jaws grinding like
the mills of the gods or che wheels Of
justice or the Jaws of leisurely
minded COW. a
"What are You chewing?" demanded
Justice Cropsey.
Chewing gum" said the sheriff, in
mild surprise. Peppermint"

What could be making that sharp

and uglier sounding, became almost

thing very big, for that noise seemed
to come from a place where no one
There were no big rocks where that
sound seemed to come from. There

noise must be too small to be feared.

for moment or two the noise would

Move for, Delay by

When Trial Reopens
Peace Rumors Revived With
Publication of Amended
Reply of Wife; Her Law
yers Prepared TO Go On

The publication of the divorce COM
plant of James A. Stillman, formerly
president of the National City Bank,
and Of the amended answer of uis wife,
Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stillman, yester-
day brought further comment upon re-
ports to the effect that Mr.. Stillman
is DESTROYS of dropping the action.
Persons in close touch with the case
said it was not unlikely that Mr.. Still
mans counsel would ask for another
continuance May %, the date set for
J. Gleason. The session was to have
been resumed yesterday, but it was
agreed several days ago by the lawyers
that it be put over until next Wednes-
day, in Poughkeepsie.
While Mr.. Stillman's lawyers will
neither affirm nor deny the reports that
he wishes to dispose of the action by
agreement rather than face another
ordeal of legal procedure, counsel for
Mrs. Stillman indicate that they intend
to press the case to conclusion.
Friends of Mrs. Stillman say she will
be able to prove that the banker lived
with her in marital relations for a Pc
Rod long before and after the birth of
Guy. They point out that Mr.. Stillman
alleges misconduct between Mrs. Still
man and Beauvais in 1917, while the
testimony of Hugh Russell, Buffalo
osteopath, tends to show that the Still
mans resided together at the time of
the writing of the so-called "hysterical
letter." in the summer of 1918, before
Guy was born.
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers say they ex-
pect the direct examination of Russell
will be resumed at the next hearing.
They intend to subject him to Wig
orous examination, and also to
make further fight against the ad-
instability of his testimony, on the
ground that whatever conversation he
had with Mrs. Stillman was of conf
dental nature.
Counsel for Mr.. Stillman profess not
to be interested in reports from Can
ada that George Adams, one of their
witnesses, has repudiated his testi-
mony. Adams is said to have declared
in an interview that he did not see
Mrs. Stillman and Beauvais in room
of house at Grand Anse, Quebec.

MADGE KENNEDY WITH
 HER BEWITCHING EYES
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

If you have made a success on the musical stage, and had fallen in love with an artist and married him. If furthermore, the man you married proved to be lord of high degree: and if finally, all his servants, twen. ty-three in number, turned out to be close relations who insisted on training you for the part of their new lady, and refused to permit you to reveal your identity to your hus. band-you would find yourself in the position that Fanny O'Gorman occu- pies in the new Goldwyu picture Strictly Confidential"
 The role of Fanny O'Gorman is played by our old favorite, Madge Kennedy, and while in the course of the story Miss Kennedy keeps many things confidential, we feel that in justice to all we should deviate from this course to the extent of saying that Strictly Confidential" is Madge kennedy's best picture.
 Never before has her comedy, genius and ineffable charm been dis played to better advantage. In this play she draws a character sketch that surpasses all her previous of. forts and one that will live long in the memory of those who see it.
 Remember-it is comedy-clean, sparkling comedy-comedy of the highest type-fhe kind of entertain ment we all crave, and the kind that is hardest to secure today.
