PNEUMONIC PLAGUE RAVAGlNG CITY

 Forfeit Liyes-Mortality of Disc Connecticut o o,. Advt. Dept, per Ceilt' ,Jartford COi

Los Angeles. Nov. S.-Sate and federal health authorities today were moving to the aid of Los Angeles in its fight to bocR the spread of pneu- monic plague which at last rcporte had claimed q victims in the city's Mexican quarter. Ten cases under treatment at the general hospital were said 10 be critical.
 Doctor W. II. Kellogg, state health department expert, surveyed the sit uation yesterday and announced that, though there was no doubt about the nature of the maady or Its seriousness, the prospects for bringing 1t under control were good,
 Of the seven who died yesterday, two were men who had died in per formance of duty. One, Father M, BruaIla, priest at the historic Old Plaza church, went about the infect ed quarter administ ering extreme unction to the dying. The other, Emmett McLauthin, was an ambh- lance driver.
 Squads Of policemen guard the Mexican quarter day and night. Food and other necessaries are sent through the cordon under strict su- pervision.
 The mortality rate of tho disease, which is allied to the bubonic plague approaches 100 per cent.
 Ground squirrels probably brought the disease to Los Angeles and com municated it to rats, which in turn, probably transmitted it to the first human victim through the interme- diary agency of a flea. Dr. Kellogg said in discussing the history of the plague in the United States.
 The Los Angeles outbreak of pneumonia plague, according to Dr. w. H. Kellogg, director of the state hygienic laboratory, who has arrived here from San Francisco to take charge of the situation, is an indirect heritage from the Oakland plague of 1919,
New Britain herald., 1924-11-03

T. was In Oakland, where i3 eases, all fatal, were reported, that the pneumonic form of plague first made it's appearance in this country, the doctor explained. Heretofore there had been cases of bubonlc plague plague and allied malady which reached San Francisco from the Or tent in 1900 and years later appear ed In New Orleans and Galveston.
 The bubonic plague, though stamped out among humans in San Francisco, was communicated to ground squirrels, probably through rats, from the city. and since then 1t has been to a certain extent prev alent among ground squirrels in sev- eral counties of California.
 Because Of this fact Dr. Kellogg and other authorities have frequent ly predicted that unless the disease could be eXterminated among the ground squirrels, there would be sooner or later new outbreak among humans.
 An extensive rat eXterminatlon campaign is one Of the features of the war which Dr. Kellogg and his aides are prepared to wage on the epidemic.
 California Is the only part of the United States in which the pneu- monic form of plague has appeared, according to Dr. Kellogg, though in the Orient it has within the last few years claimed thousands of victims.
 It is distinct from the bubonic plague In that it attacks the lungs, whereas the bpbonic form attacks the glands. Its symptoms are sim liar to those Of pneumonic, though the course of the disease is more rapid and the mortality rate higher.
 Dr. Kellogg cited as significant the fact that bubonic plague is prevalent among ground squirrels of San Luis ObispO county, and that 1t would have been entirely possible for it to have reached this city by that route.

New Haven, Nov. 3.---Charles c. Morris, democratic nominee for gov ernor, who tonight in Newtown will sit down with his neighbors at a chicken dinner. today gave out q statement containing his final re- view of the campaign for the state ticket. He said:
 My chief concern must be the af- fairs Of this state. I need not speak of national matters though they in- terest me and should interest every voter very deeply. The republican party must be held responsible for the abuses of trust committed by some of its most prominent men. If the executive of state or nation can be used as a mere fgurehcad behind whose sheltering figure wicked schemes can be matched by his own party withou fear of punishment, then party government is sham and free government Is a failure. The only way in which a party adminis- tration which has increased the states annual expenses in the last two years by three million dollars can be rebuked Is by the voters of this state. The only way in which scandals like that over the state farm for women can be rebuked Is by the voters who have not forgot ten them.
