the Importance of the Vice Presi-

LESS OCEAN TRAFFIC TO
 us. WELCOMED BY DOCTORS
Quarantine officials Appreciate De. cline in Tourists More Than
 Any Other of the Officials.

l New York, Dec. 2t.-The filling of l the immigrant quotas of most of the l foreign nations and the usual win l ter decline in tourist traffic are ap- l preciated smore perhaps at the quar- antine station maintained by the
 United States public health service
 on Staten Island than anywhere else. During the summer and autumn with 1 the rush of immigrants and tourists doctors and others attached to the
 station had little spare time.
 Often there were q dozen or more ships anchored off Staten Island at one time awaiting permission to pro- ceed to their berths. Consequently the doctors who inquire into the health of every incoming passenger. as well as the crews of passenger and freight vessels were kept on the jump from sunrise to sunset.
 Many and varied curios from for eign countries have come into the hands Of. quarantine officers who board the incoming ships. These are in the nature of gifts from officers of steamships that come from the ends of the earth. Built in d house on Fingerboard road is a Slah said to have come from the cathedral in Santo Domingo where the body of Christopher Columbus is supposed to he buried. It was brought to Staten Island by the purser of an incom- ing ship, who, regarding it of no par ticular value, presented it to the off cer who boarded his ship. It was and when the building was last sold the purchaser chanced to be native of Italy who prizes highly the slab because of it's supposed association with the body of Columbus.
