CAUSES HASTY EXODUS

Thousands of Families leave New York As Epidemic Continues to Spread—Dee.tli List i26.

NEW YORK, July 5.—The epidemic of infantile paralysis here has hastened. the departure of thousands of familie^ who usually leave town for the summer. Estimates made by the health department officials of the number of children who have been taken from the city since the epidemic became serious run as high as 90,000, but this is the season when the city population is annually reduced by the summer exodus.

Thus far five hundred and twentyfour cases of the disease have been reported to the board of health and one hundred and twenty-six persons have died. It is most prevalent in the Italian quarter of the southern section of Brooklyn where the paralysis made its first appearance. High mortality continues to be the striking feature of the epidemic and the death toll has reached approximately that of the entire epidemic of 1907, when 2,500 cases were reported.

Outlook Brighter. JP

Although 59 new cases and 25 deaths were reported yesterday the health commissioner said the outlook vas

little encouraging" as there

were fewer true cases than reported on some previous days. Nevertheless he made requisition for 50 additional field nurses and 87 hospital nurses, together with domestics and orderlies to be employed in caring -for the little patients. The order o£ the health commissioner excluding children under 16 years of age from moving picture shows went into effect today.

Physicians say there is no known positive treatment for the disease but that the child's physique has to com-" bat it with such aid as the doctors can give to lessen the probability of permanent injury. If a strain is allowed to fall upon the affected limb there is great danger of permanent paralysis, says the health commissioner.

During that period threre wer,e 178 new cases reported. Of this number 157 wer# in or near the seat of the epidemic in Brooklyn.

In one Brooklyn hospital today there were 225 children victims of the disease, many of whom, it was said, had only a slight chance of recovery.

Major General Leonard Wood today ordered what is virtually a quarantine of Governor's island because of the epidemic. No children are to be permitted to visit the island and the soldiers there will n6t be permitted to visit their families until further notice.

NEWARK, N. J., July 5.—The epidemic of infantile paralysis reached Newark today. George Wittemy£r, 3 years old, is dead and another boy in a serious' condition. Health officials are doing their utmost to prevent a spread of the disease. The Wlttemeyer boy's death was the first attributed to infantile paralysis this year.

.NEW YORK, July 5.—The average of one death an hour was maintained today by the infantile paralysis epideinio, twelve children dying of the disease between 10 o'clock last night and 10 o'clock this morning in the five boroughs of New York City.
