Parrot Fever Causes
Worry To Doctors
Washington, Jan, II,?With two
dead from parrott fwer and eleven
caws of that mysterious malady reported
from distant sections of the
country, government health authori
tie* are taking steps to prevent the
? spread of the disease.
The deaths occurred in Toledo,
Ohio, where Mrs. Percy O. Williams
succumbed to the ailment, and in
Baltimore, Maryland, where the victim
was Mrs. Louise Schaeffer.
Four additional cases were reported
from Ohio and seven from
Maryland, with unconfirmed report*
of three more cases in the latteV
state and one in California.
Surgeon General Hugh S. Gumming
has been advised that three
cases in Annapolis resulted from contact
with a recently imported parrot
that had been purchased from a
New York pot slore and has informed
I)r. Shirley Wynn, the city health
commissioner. Fumigation of the
!vtore is expected to ensue.

Monday night in the office of
Hilton and Blackrwell, cotton buyer*,

bale of loose samples.^ The fire originated
in this room, destroyed about
all of the loose samples and badly
