In connection with the death of Miss Jessie
Alien , late librarian or the Omaha publc
library , from corsumpton , the physicIan who
formerly had charge at the case during the
early stages or the disease has publicly as'
sertell that Miss Allan , without possibility of
doubt , succumbed ! to the ravages or germs
transmitted to her through the handling or
books that had circulated among infected
patrons of the lbray , This bold assertion
naturally created some apprehensIon among
people Into whoso homes the books of the
public library are reguarly ! Introduccd. I Is
natural to reason that I the librarian In
charge of the pUJlc ! ! lbrary can CJntract can.

On this point , however , there seems to bo
no reason whatever for alllrm or even uneast.
ness amolg publc library patrons. LIbrarian
Barrows of the Omaha public library has
beel investigating the authorities al this
subject and finds that they are substantially
unanimous In flatly contradicting the sensa-
tonal statement or thc Omaha physician.
"It I greatly to bt regreteI , " sid LI-
brarbn harrows . "that the lamented death of
Miss Allan should give rise to this ( IUeston
or contagion from books II publc ! libraries ,
and I could not for a moment discuss any poc-
sonal phase or the matter. But I ale think
It I only fair that the ( patrons of the lbrar
and ! the general public should bo Informed
of the rculs which have been reachEd after
full investigation . Very serious harm can bo
done the Duble library by paCrdlng : Il as 1

says : "Tho means by which contagious diseases -
eases are transmitted Is one or those ques -

follow that the germs are carried by books or

by such transmlssl are so much larger IS

that tuberculosis was likely to be imparted
by their use , Dr. Paul Grossman smledl , lut
his answer was as emphatic as II'as rear

so I Is ito improbable that we can almost
say It Is ImposElble. These stories are al

"The only probable metholl of imparting

Dr. A. K. lJetus'lier also colnclle ! < with thIs
view and suggested that In the great Har-

tiiceis. The statJtcs of various libraries 1

to show among over seventy employes any

not significant. I Is only one case , whereas :
