The Federal aid, it was said, would be at once directed to tracing the origin of the disease. This will consist lately in experiments with animal infections, and it was said a telegram had been sent to Washington asking that monkeys, procured in the Philippines for the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research here, be not subjected to a recent embargo order which has delayed their arrival into the country. According to Commissioner Emerson, monkeys are regarded as the best animal mediums thus far discovered to prove the transmission of disease.

All hospitals, it was said, would be asked to send material from fatal diseases of infantile paralysis to the Department of Health for examination and research. Additional cases reported since last night were eighty-one of these, seventy are in Brooklyn. Commissioner Emerson, in a statement issued tonight, said: "We are doing and have done absolutely everything we can to prevent the spread of infantile paralysis, and it is not checked. We do not know what else can be done, and fear it will have to run its course. I am not confident that the epidemic is being controlled from our experience with other epidemics, I look forward to it running through the summer months."
