Lazear's Death Gave Maj. Reed
Final Fever Clue, Meeting Told
By l nomas k. nenry
Science Editor of The Stor
The dramatic conquest of yellow
fever in Havana 48 years ago by
Maj. Walter Reed of the Army
Medical Corps was commemorated
by the Fourth International Con
gresses on Tropical Medicine and
Malaria in the Departmental Audi
torium last night.
Guest of honor was James L.
Hanberry of Orangeburg, S. C., one
of the enlisted men who volunteered
to live in the quarters and sleep in
the soiled blankets of persons who
had died of the dreaded “yellow
jack.”
The fact that these soldiers did
not come down with the fever was
the proof needed by Maj. Reed and
his colleagues that the disease was
not spread by direct contact or by
some miasma in the air but only
by the bites of mosquitoes which
had fed on the blood of victims dur
ing the first three days of infec
tion.
The conquest of the disease made
possible the building of the Panama
Canal.
sirucK in uuei.
Previously, yellow fever had been
the most dreaded of all epidemics.
American cities such as Philadel
phia, New Orleans and Memphis
had been almost depopulated by it.
Medical science was helpless. The
work of the Army doctors ended
this condition in one of the great
est revolutions in medical history.
Chief speaker at the memorial
meeting was Dr. Philip S. Hench of
the Mayo Clinic, who told of several
hitherto little-known episodes. It
was the death of Dr. Jesse W. La
zear, member of the yellow fever
commission set up by the Army,
which gave Maj. Reed his final
clue, Dr. Hench said. Up to that
time experiments had given ques
tionable results. Some stung by mos
quitoes which had fed on fever vic
tims came down with the disease
and some did not.
Dr. Lazear had kept careful notes.
Maj. Reed found them in his pocket.
They proved conclusively that only
during the first three days of sick
ness was the germ transferable to
mosquitoes.
This story was withheld by Maj.
Reed, because he feared it 'might
cost Dr. Lazear’s family his life in
surance, since he had deliberately
risked his life by contracting ye)

[this precaution was useless because
the doctor had no policy.
Camp to Be Monument.
The Cuban government has just
decided to make a national monu
ment of what is left of the old Camp
! Lazear, near Havana, where the ex
periments with volunteers were con
ducted, Dr. Hench said. In all there
were 25 volunteers—16 Americans,
3 Cubans, 1 Englishman, 1 Irish
man and 4 Spaniards.
Mr. Hanberry's part in the drama
was that of remaining shut up tor
20 days and nights in a" especially
constructed nouse at Camp Lr.zear.
During this time, he slept on the
supposedly infected bedding of yel
low fever victims. He and two com-,
rades suffered no ill effects.
Delegates to the congresses spent
most of yesterday at the Beltsville
experiment station of the Agricul
ture Department, v/neie they were
given a demonstration of the air
tactics now being developed to fight
insects on a large scale. A wartime
Army test field has been taken over.
There various models of Army
training planes have been adapoted
to the special demands of insect
warfare.
Treat 8,000 Acres a Day.
These planes fly about 80 miles
an hour and spray solhe insecticide,
usually a DDT solution, in a swathe
from 50 to 150 feet wide. It is

The air spraying method on a
large scale seems to offer the best
hope of reclaiming large areas of
the world now almost worthless for
agriculture because of insects, it
was explained. The toll of bugs is
enormous—about 10 per cent of all
crops grown in the world.
Terminal Bars Engineer
OfTrainThat Hit Bumper
The Washington Terminal Co. has
barred the engineer of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad train that crashed
into a bumper at Union Station on
April 29, shaking up and injuring
about 30 passengers, from operating
a train into the station.
Sidney Kerl, terminal superin
tendent, said today a hearing had
been given the engineer, J. E. Cav
anaugh of Philadelphia, and the de
cision to bar him followed. Any
further disciplinary action will have
to come from his employer, the
Maryland division of the Pennsy,
Mr. Kerl said. The trial board found
that Mr. Cavanaugh was responsible
for the accident, Mr. Kerl added.
The accident occurred in the
morning as the train, loaded with
members of the Delaware • County
(Pa.) Federation of Women's Clubs,
came into Union Station. Six women
were hospitalized while another 25
were given first-aid at the scene.
