Third Death and More Cases Found
 In Parrot Fever Epidemic In Nation

New York. Jan, IS P-While bactcriologists conducted final tests in their efforts to isolate the bacilli Of psittacosis or parrot fever, q third death and several additional cases of illness were attributed to the dis ease today.
 The death of Mrs. William Shields, I1. Of Frecport. Pa. was ascribed to parrot fever after an autopsy. She was stricken week after receiving parrot for a Christmas gift. The bird later died. Mrs. Shields IA yoar-old daughter is seriously ill with malady similar to that which caused her mothers death.
 Believes Germ Isolated
 Herbert C. Ward bactcrologist of the Maryland department of health announced that he had isolated bacilli which ne believed caused psittacosis. Further tests will be ncc- essary. he said, before complete iden- tification of the germs is made.
 Three more cases of the disease, winch physicians say is contracted only from parrots, were reported in Baltimore. Previously three cases had been diagnosed in Annapolis as parrot fever and four others in Bal tlmoro, the latter all employees of a pet shop where parrots were kept for sale. One other person in Balti- more is believed 10 be a victim. An other case was reported from Cam bridge, Md. and three from Arb IT, deen, Md. The first cases of the dis ease Tn this country called to the at tention of public health authorities were those at Annapolis.
 Four new cases described as psit- tacosis were listed with the New York state health department over the weekend. Public health officials are investigating the illness of Mrs. John Shea, dealer in birds, who is recovering from an illness which she contracted after examining q sick parrot for a customer. Her case, physicians said had all the char acteristics of psittacosis, which man. ifests a combination of symptoms resembling pneumonia and typhoid | fever

NEW BRITAIN P.O.
 FUND IS REPORTED
Included in Bill Filed With House Of Representatives
By GEORGE n. MANNING ,nI,f.,r,,r.,, ptr,at N n rI.r,

" t0illil ltIl lot4 td i' +N. D. Ii'Lt4'hJ
 Washington, Jan. 1S-Provision of funds for the federal building at New Britain is made in the treasury department appropriation bill re ported to the house today. from the house appropriations committee carrying blanket appropriation Of s23,0OO,oQo for such government projects.
 Although no sum is specified for any of the buildings named in tho measure, the New Britain item will be fully covered and no delay be- cause Of lack of funds is 10 he an- ticipated,
 Under the law Of March !, 1928, the New Britain project was placed at a maximum ot $25U,Upo and s1O0,Ooo has been appropriated for it.
 Although the treasury department reported 10 the appropriations com mittec on November 1 that the land for the New Britain building had been acquired, it was not until Jan uary ? that the auditor for the treasury department approved the payment of $2ooU0 for the Davis tract which, with the Caldwell tract, makes up the site for the cx- tension of the New Britain post of- flee.
 The acquisition of land almost in variably is the greatest stumbling block which lmpedes progress in such projects, as negotiations and condemnation proceedings take much time, particularly in view Of the present congestion in the courts.
 In reference to delays encountered in such projects as that of New Britain, Acting Supervising Archi- tcct James A. Wetmorc, of the treasury, said:
 "Conditions vary in different dis tricts. That work has to be carried on by the United States attorneys and their dockets are so filled with prohibition cases and other cases that they can only give attention 10 this work when the court work does not require their attention. The time runs all the way from 90 days to a year and sometimes to a year and a half. before we get the titles.
 Some time is consumed in get ting the abstract. Some of these cases are so involved that it requires some time before the United States attorney is in q position where llc can file his petition. Under the law the attorney general is required 10 commence proceedings within 30 days after request is made of him by the treasury department. It is not an unusual thing for us 10 have to renew those requests. Sometimes that is done for q period as much as six months before the proceed ings are commenced.'
 All such government building will be stimulated this year by the administration. which has made such construction major number on its program.

duce a Philadelphia victory. Cleve-
