Declaring that only the interposition of Provi- denco prevented "cholera and other infectious diseases from gaining a foothold in New York," Governor John A. Dix today demanded the im mediate resignation of Dr. Alvnh Doty, chief of the quarantine station here since 1907. Dix charges that Doty failed to maintain an effective safeguard to the health of the city and state, and that he has not given "anything like an intelligent, honest and efficient administration." Charles Bulger, the commissioner investigating the charges made to Dix, reported accusing the chief and his administration of "misconduct, extravagance, dishonesty, depravity and immorality." Doty, who is a republican, blames politics for the onslaught on his ad ministration of the quarantine sta tion. Governor Dix's letter to Doty says, iu part: "Immoral and lewd practices are indulged in by orderlies and other servants of your office with immi grant women nnd girls, while they arc in quarantine. Lvidence nl-o shows a condition of squalor and imclennli- ness in the rooms where the immi grants arc kept which is shocking to my sense of decency nnd which makes one ashamed of his country. In addition to this, orderlies have been permitted to carry the bodies of deceased children in their arms from the hospital to the morgue. "There has been the grossest fail ure under you to either establish or maintain such a real quarantine law as the welfare of tlio country de mands at the port of New York." "Governor West wnuo more speeches and did more effective work than any one of the wetorn gov ernors on the recent eastern trip, ac cording to Publicity Malinger Mc Dowell of the Hill lines," stated Wil liam Gerig of the Pacific & Eastern, who has just returned from a north ern trip, where he miu Mr. McDowell. "The publicly given Oregon by Mr. West will prove of great alue, iu the opinion of the publicity manager, continued Mr. Gerig, "as be made tlu most speeches and most effectively lortrayed the resources of his state.'
