Show DENIES INFLUENZA AT POST PRISON Colonel Oeorge I. Byram, commandant of the Third war prison barracks at Fort Douglas, announced yesterday that rumors ru-mors which have been circulated in the city that there is influenza infection within the war prison camp at Fort Douglas are absolutely without foundation. founda-tion. "There Is not a word of truth in such reports, " Colonel Byram said. "U is probable prob-able that the fact, that two prisoners died of lobar pneumonia has given rise to the erroneous rumor that there was influenza Infection within the camp. The prisoners died of ordinary pneumonia and there was no sign of influenza infeclon in their cases. There lias not been a case of influenza in-fluenza in the war- prison camp nor among the guard." |
