In addition, five doctors attached to the station have given up all thoughts of vacation and are working, out* of the quarantine officials said, to the limits of human endurance in vao clnating, fumigating and Inspecting prospective citizens and their fane Illes. Tlie ri’BKon for the unusual condi tion at Hoffman lefiind Is said to be a misunderstanding on the part of Ital ian officials and steamship companies respecting United State« health regu lations. Travelers from districts where typhus and other transmittable dis- < Hf.es prevail are supposed to be “de- loused,” examined and certified as “clean” by American public health offi cers before they board the ship. Th««* reguiaUons are not bring complied with, officials here claim, and therefore the work must be done be fore the traveler Is landed. Tlie ex pense of the work here is charged to the steamship companies. During the last week more than half a dozen ships have arrived from points where typhus-carr/lm, subjects could be taken on board. All of these ships have been detained In quarantine while the steerage passengers, numbering nearly 2,000 on each ship, were taken off on barges landed at Hoffman Island and detained tor 24 to' 43 hours. During the detention they are com- t>elled to take u thoroutrh bath. Their clothing, baggage and effects are fumi gated In live steam. From Huffman Island arrivals are taken to Ellis is land for examination by immigration authorities as to their qualifications for entry. HEARD IN THE SEWING ROOM Dampfern you wear get rich.
