THE MORNING ASTOR1AN. THI2SOAY. DECEMBER THE OLD REUACLE iill - Absolutely PurcT THERE IS Msussmint SCARLET FEVER RAGING SCHOOLS MAY HE CLOSED AFTEK NEW YEARS. Seven New Cases Reported Yes terday, aud Situation Is Re garded as Alarming. . Scarlet fever . lms developed to an alarming extent In this city, and If the situation is not more promising after January 1, City Physician Cordiner will recommend that the schools be closed for an indefinite period. Dr. Cordiner Is not willing that any unnecessary chances shall be taken, and he believes the schools should be closed down if the number of cases of scarlet fever con tinues to show Increase. Yesterday seven new cases of scarlet fever were reported All are In East Astoria, on Franklin avenue between Thirtieth and Thirty-eighth streets. The locality in question Is not a healthy . one, and the houses which have been placed In quarantine there are situated only a few blocks apart. Several other cases developed some days ago, and there are perhaps a dosen or 13 pa tients m the city In aU. Testerday scarlet fever was reported In the family of Knute Iverson, who lives at Franklin avenue and Thirty eighth street. Three of Mr. Iverson's children are 1H with the disease. Three uw cases were also reported In the family of J. P. Johnson, at Franklin avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Mrs. Johnson and two of her children are down with the disease. The seventh case is reported' In the family of A Schamberger,, whoso little girl has a very mild attack-so mild, Indeed, that Doctor Cordiner believes It may be no thing more than severe throat trouble. However, to be on the safe side, the Sehanberger residence has ben quar antined. The homes of Mr. Johnson and. Mr. Iverson have likewise been placed under quarantine restrictions. The large number of scarlet fever cases r ported yesterday gives ample cause for alarm," said Doctor CoMlner last evening, "and I will recommend closing of the schools for a- time after New Tear's It the situation does not show Improvement.- Scarlet fever is too serious to trifle with, and an epi demic among school children would doubtless be attended with alarming results. I shall certainly recommend closing of the schools If the disease continues to spread.' Doctor Cordiner requested The As- torian to urge local physicians to r port to him all caes of infectious dis eases, in his capacity .is city physician. rather thin to the i.udltor or chief of police. 1 Those officials do not spend their time at tbeir offices, and the pres ent practice of reporting diseases to them should. Doctor Cordiner thinks. be abolished, particularly at this time Properly all rases should be reported to the city health officer, and the board of health has promulgated this new rule, which physicians are urged to observe . - ears HOME TEAM VICTORIOUS.
