CLAIMS
s MORE LIVES
IN CALIFORNIA
Quarantine Measures Are
Still In Force In Los
|,
i Angeles

= LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 2.-Five
additional loves have been claimed as
the result of an epidemis, diagnosed as
pneumonia pleagus, in the Mexican sec
ton of this city. The death toll now
stands at 10.
v Victor Samarano, Maria Samarano,
Aldano Hurcheo, Mike Kimenez and
Christian Berson died suddenly at the
isolation ward Of the General hospital.
All of them, according to health au-
thorities, were victims of the first out
break of the disease, which appeared
suddenly among mourners at the fu-
neral of Mrs. Luciano Samarano, Oc-
tober 10.
Rigid quarantine measures are still
in force over the thickly settled Mex
ican quarter. Uniformed police and
health department guards are coop
Grating to prevent an exodus which
might carry the disease to other por-
lions of the city.
IA. L. Peterson, assistant county
health officer, said that it was impos-
Aible to know just what results prevent
alive and quarantine measures had eff
fected.
+ "All of the deaths have been trace
able to Mrs. Samarano's funeral or to
contact with those who were there. The
epidemic obtained it's foothold before
we learned Of it and before any control
measures could be adopted" Peterson
said.
The pneumonia plague, according to
medical records, appears among Latin
races more frequently than among any
others. 1t is described as similar to
Spanish influenza, but much more Sc
we're.
r Striking swiftly at the lungs, the
pneumonic infection halts respiration
Ind the percentage of recoveries is low,
physicians state. The malady is con-
Eidered more virulent than either the
bubonic or septic plague.
3 DR.. Holiday, diagnostician of the
state board of health, arrived Sunday
and was in consultation with health
officers here. He has not issued any
statement regarding the epidemic.
4 A small quantity of serum to be used
as a preventative is available here, and
This will be added to by supply which
left Indianapolis by airplane Sunday.
Three victims of the disease are still
in the isolation ward of the General
hospital.

According to the schedule outlined
for the Birmingham tour, the party
will leave here the morning of Decem.
Der 2. The following Wednesday mem.
bers will embark in a United States
Fruit company steamer to arrive at Ha.
vana Friday. The hotel Plaza is to
be made headquarters of the party
during their stay in Cuba. A whirl
of sightseeing and entertainment expe-
ditions has been arranged through the
American consul and the Havana cham
Der of commerce. The excursion will
close December 10, when the party is
to return to Birmingham.
o. L. Bum, manager of the cham
Der of commerce, is in charge of the
tour, with a number of business ex-
ecutives aiding him. Prices for the
ten-day trip run from S204, depending
on the Accommodations desired.
