CLOSE INSPECTION
 OF ALL IMMIGRANTS
Those Arriving From TyphuS
 Infected Lands Examined

New York, Feb. 12.-Im migrants setting foot on Manhattan island to- day especially those from typhus- festcd countries, were subjected to a stringent medical examination by 25 inspectors of the health department. who, acting upon orders of Health Commissioner Copeland, opened head quarters at the municipal ferry house at the Battery. Fifty police reerves were called out to keep the immi- grants in line as they aiighted from barge bringing them from Ellis Island.
 Commissioner Copeland announced that he ordered the examination to make sure that no immigrants en- tered this city in a filthy condition all though the. immigrants had previously been examined at Ellis Island. Nea 30 steerage passengers who arrf on the steamship Ryndam several days ago and who were held up be- cause of typhus cases aboard. were the first to pass through.
 Dr. Copeland said that he had been refused permission to establish tho city inspection station at Ellis Island.
 We have been led to take this stand" he added, because of our S1N SAPSA ACAlSS oA. tdoI "CCh WsASA WI found two patients with typhus fever who had been sent to Long Island College hospital supposedly suffering from pneumonia. Later an- other immigrant was found in Har- lem hospital suffering from typhus."
 He said that lists of immigrants addresses given, him by steamship companies had been found to be de- ficient and that efforts to trace immi- grants had been unavailing in many cases.

Health Officials at Port of New York Taking Every PrecautiOn Against Spread of Disease.

Washington, Feb. 12.-New methods to safeguard the people of the United States from Europe's typhus epidemic were under consideration today by the federal authorities. Confidence was ex- pressed however that the more than B cases found among passengers aboard steamships arriving at New York would not result in the spread of the dread disease to the United States.
 New regulations both abroad and at American ports were considered as likely to result from a conference to- day between Ewing Laporte, assistant secretary of the treasury, in charge of public health and Surgeon Gen. Cumming.
 A ban on admission of immigrants from typhus infested districts of Flu rope, however, is not regarded as war ranted in view of the precautions al- ready taken and contemplated Secre- tary Tumulty has informed pr. Royal s. Copeland, New York city health commissioner.

LATEST IN DOGS

New York University Veterinary Col
 lege Instructor So Labels German
 Police Pups.
 New York. Feb. 12.-"Latest style in dogs" is the title given the German police dogs by Dean w. Horace Hos kins of the New York University Vet erinary college, who says fashions in dogs 1uctuate as they do in dress.
 The Boston terrier and Pekinese are also fashiona ble. Dean Hoskins said
 The Boston terrier has enjoyed a longer, period of popularity than any other dogs, having been in vogue for thirty years and is still fairly popu- lar," he said.
 The pug dog and the old black and tan, or rat terrier, which enjoyed an immense popularity in the. sos and sos are almost extinct. and the dean said he knew of no one who still breeds them. The elbows, which were favorites in 1900. are well liked.
 Dean Hoskins lamented the passing of the collie, and regretted the current vogue for the police dog, saying he was not so gentle companion as the collie. '''
 German police dogs were brought back to America in great numbers aboard army transports by officers and men of the army of occupation in Germany.

 The pew probably was never paint cd. Al my rate fl shows no sign Of paint today. but stands like n product Of the carpenter that had gone straight to tho church. IL fs a bench that without regard to looks. could he doing It's duty for several more half centuries.
 Nearby is a chair that Lincoln used
 while he was reading law. It is one
 of those bleak office chairs Of long ago, q suro enough companion piece
 to the pew, simple. worn and sttll
 good for n long term of hard service.
