PRISONER IN ELL WITH SMALL -PO Police Cannot Be Induced to Go Into Stagg Street Station, Williamsburg, but Loiter on the Sidewalk. Max Purven. 75 Meaerole street, Will has the Stage street police station all to himself. Seventy-five policemen on reserve duty, & sergeont and several roundsmen are napping out on the curb, refusing to go into the station. Purven is belleved to have smail-pox in a virulent form. John Schaeffer, a butcher who employed Purven as @ helper, caMed Policeman McFarland Into ls shop to-day and told him Purven was Ina back room too sick for work. The officer called Dr. Webber and an ambulance from St. Catherine's Hos- pital and they took Purven to the Stags street station before his malady was diagnosed. In the desk room of the station Dr. Webber examined the sick man and said he believed he was af- Micted with small-pox in a most serious form, That was enough. The coppers on reserve slid down fire-escapes, side- atepped the desk room and got to the street, some of them going the rear way and circling the block. Dr, Webber refused to take the patient to his hospital and called up the Health Department. If Purven has small-pox he must be sent to the Kings County Hospital, where there is an iso- lation ward, - The Health Department evidently did not consider the distress of the police- men, for no reply was heard, and the police say they. would not again enter te etation until the invalid had been removed and the place disinfected, poe BADGE FOR MRS.
