Oakland Rodents Infected With
Bubonic Plague.

OAKLAND, Calf, December ga
widespread rat determination cam
paign was under way today after a
report by health officials that out OF
40 rodents examined were infected
with bubonic plague. No cases
among human beings have been re-
ported. and as the section inhabited
by rats is remote from the city
proper, there is little fear of the dis
ease spreading.
Restrict ons have been placed along
the western water front where the
infected rodents were found. and ships
docking in this section must be fumi-
gated, according to DR.. X. III. Creel OF
the United States Public Health
Service, Officials OF Alameda, Berke-
lev and Oakland conferred with
