FromThe American Sentinel, Vol. 7, No. 25

On Sunday, June 12, a reporter for the Sun was refused information as to the name of a smallpox patient just sent to North Brother Island, on the ground that the Health Department being closed on Sunday no information could be given. That is to say that although open for business, the office was “constructively” closed, and therefore, as, by fiction of law, no business was being transacted, there could be no information to give. Great is king humbug!
