‘PARROT FEVER' NOW THREAT TC FOUR COUNTRIES International Effort Mado for Control of Malady Defined Psittacosis. Bv f ritted Pre* The mysterious .spread of the dread ‘parrot disease," which in recent months has been found in lour countries, including the United States, often with deadly effects, has centered international attention in an effort to explain and control the malady. It has been defined row as psittacosis, an often fatal dr ase. marked by nausea and fainting spelLs. It first was heard of last October in Buenos Aires, w hen four persons, members of a theatrical troupe, died there. They often had caressed a pet parrot owned by a member of the troupe. The disease next was heard of in Berlin, where four death, have been reported. Last week two cases were identified in Prague, and this week doctors at Annapolis reported several cases. Many Birds Killed ft i r „,t"i /•<*, BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 10.—The innocent parrot suddenly has become a bird of ill omen, dealing death, many believe, to its captors. The reason for this almost mystic dread has been traced to a mild ‘‘epidemic" of ‘ parrot disease,” in the Argentina. In the middle of October members of a stock company at the Miceo theater became 111 of a mysterious malady. The leading man and the leading lady died. Both illnesses were diagnosed as ‘ parrot disease.” Five other actors recovered. It is recalled the parrot, which had been used in the company’s plays, since has died of psittacosis. The result was a nation-wide scare, during which literally hundreds of parrots were killed. The doctors described the svmptoms to be somewhat like a head cold, also characterized by major intestinal disturbances. Four Cases in East By Unit* ft /*/ • BALTIMORE, Jan. 10. —‘The battie to prevent spread of the deadly parrot disease reached Baltimore today, with word that a fourth person had become a victim ot the mysterious fever.

Mar- ! tin. 60, wife of the secretary of the | Chamber of Commerce there, and her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lee M. Kalmey. Tile latter are seriously ill in Annapolis emergency iiosptal, while both Dr. Whitehill and Mrs. Martin are confined at their homes. Tlie same parrot is blamed by health officers for all four cases. It was purchased at a pet shop here by Mr. and Mrs. Kalmey, on Dec. 4. 1 It became ill a few days later end died on Christmas eve. Members \ of the Martin household became ill on New Year’s day.
