7-Twelve of the most prominent experts on children's diseases were summoned to a conference today to map campaign against the mysterious disease which killed 11 infants at St. Elizabeth's hospital the last two weeks. They were called by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, president of the board of health.

He said the board wanted "to enlist the best brains of the Chicago medical profession to combat the infection." Autopsies upon two of the babies provided clues which medical authorities hoped would lead to identification of the disease. Experiments were being conducted to determine whether it is caused by bacteria or virus.
