Cases of Diphtheria Connected With University The city health authorities have succeeded In checking the diphtheria plague to such extent that but four new cases were reported yesterday, in addition to the four cases pub lished Sunday. Some eight of the cases of quar antine bo far registered in tho ofllco of tho health officer have affected persons connected with the Univer sity.

The wife of Profes sor Lawrence Fossler has been taken down with the disease and two daugh ters of Professor C. A. Bobbins aro taken down with the disease, the homes of both being under quar antine.
