DEEPER MYSTERY DEVELOPS
IN PICNIC POISONING CASE
Samples of Food Served Union Mission Elk
cursionists When Tested Fail to
Show Cause of Illness ~sa

The cause Of the widespread illness
among the Central Union Mission ex-
cufsioniEts at Marshall Hall Friday de-
veloped into deeper mystery today
when the District Health Department
announced that the meteorological and
chemical analysis of the lunch box
food failed TO disclose n potential trace
of poison organisms or decomposition.
simultaneously the Health Depart
ment revealed that follow-up inter-
views with a group of the 81 persons
who were stricken on the outing showed
that four of them had not eaten any
Of the food prepared in the missions
kitchens.
The hard-boiled eggs. first suspected
as being responsible for the perplexing
saemic, showed no particular en-
phasis of decomposition under the
chemical test, although the specimens
examined by the Health Department
were said to have had a sour oior but
we're not spoiled.
After receiving reports from the
Health Departments laboratory at
tsches of the result of their examina-
ton, Dr. William c. Fowler, health
officer, reiterated his opinion of Satur-
day that the sickness was caused by
"a combination of circumstances"
Our examination of the food served
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-07-24

has not produced anything that would
tend to account for the condition, y
said Or. Fowler. Some of the food
was fed to rats in our laboratory.
Rats are extremely sensitive to food
poisoning but none of 1t affected them.
We also examined the von1itus and
the feces from a number of the per-
sons who were i'll and that. too, failed
to show anything which might reveal
the cause. Our chemists and bacteriolo-
giSts all agree that the specimen of
the eggs examined smelled sour. The
ANALYSIS. however, showed no particular
emphasis of decomposition.
Our examination also failed to dis
close anything that would tend to show
that the management of the steamboat
Charles Manchester, which carried the
excursionists to Marshall Hall, was in
any way negligible or responsible for
the condition.
MY own opinion which I first eX-
pressed Saturday. is that combina-
ZION of circumstances was responsible.
The food served by the Central Union
Mission was prepared early in the
morning and packed into boxes and
probably was exposed to the direct
RAYS of the sun at least part of the
day. The child9en who ate it most
likely ran around all day and were
overheated. as Friday was the hottest
day of the year thus far They also
probably drank lot of water and
