BILOXrS BITTERNESS.
Efforts Being Made to Drive DR.. Holt
Out of the State.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 17.-Ever since
Or. Godfrey, Of the United States Hospi-
tai Service, reported that the disease at
Biloxi was not yellow fever that little
town has been bitterly aggrieved at DR..
Holt, President of the State Board, who
founded the yellow fever theory and who
quarantined the town. Last night a
mass meeting in Biloxi denounced the
Board of Health, press and all
the neighboring towns who quar-
antined it. Not satisfied with
this, the people of the town are taking ac-
tive measures to have DR.. Holt indicted
by the grand jury. believing that such an
indictment would keep hlm out of the
State for two years. With a view to Sc
curing Indictment, the leaders of this
movement are endeavorIng to procure
from those persons recently sick with
fever and their nurses affidavits to the
effect that they did not furnish to Dr.
Holt the information that he claimed to
have received from them, and upon which
he based his diagnosis of the disease.

MODS ASS ALL MISSIONS.
Americans Subjected to IndiGnities
in China.

WASHINGTON, Sept. I'm mister Dem
by, at Pekln, has reported to the Secre-
tary Of State two cases of recent outrage
perpetrated by Chinese upon Americans.
Rev. A. A. Fulton and wife and Miss
Mary Fulton, M. D.. all of the American
Presbyterian Mission in China, estab-
lished mission hospital and station at
hwai Ping, about 400 miles southwest
from Canton. When they had expended
considerable sum in putting
up buildings, placards appeared
on the walls declaring that
the "ioteign devils" must go
In three days and their buildings must be
destroyed. The literati, as usual, were
at the bottom of the disturbance. A
crowd gathered near the hospital, and
Mr.. Fulton set out TO secure protection
OF the military. He WAS stoned on his
way and not permitted to return, and no
soldiers were sent to protect the mission.
THE MATCH APPLIED.
On May 9 the mob piled straw and fag-
gots against the building occupied by
Mrs. and Misc Fulton and little daugh-
ter of the former, upon which the inmates
fled and the house was looted aud burned.
The ladies sought refuge on boats, but the
mob threatened to destroy any boat that
bpOuiu TeCelNe Jnem, ana aiLer some ue-
lay they reached point whore Mr. Full
ton had been compelled to remain. Two
days later they were put on boats and
conveyed to Canton. The value of the
property is about s., 600, and Consul Sey-
mour is pressing demand for payment
OF this amount in damages.
Tho second case is of still more recent
date. Sunday, June 6, in the absence of
all gentlemen connected with the Metho-
dist Episcopal Mission Hospital at Chung
King. and while only one lady was pres
ent, mob collected, broke down the gates,
threw stones at the lady, one OF which
cut open her index finger its entire length,
while she was otherwise injured about
the head and arms. Complaint was made
to the officials, but the matter was treated
lightly. "rhis is a serious case" writes
MIR. DENLY, "and may be a test one. 1t
grew, as all our evils in China do, out OF
troubles In the United States" Still later
(July 1917 a mob attacked the mission
property at Chung King aud destroyed it.
Mr.. DENLY has filed protest.

RIGHTS or REPORTERS.
Trying to Exclude Them from a
Fishery Trial.

HALIFAX, N. s., Sept. 17.-To-day's pro-
ceedings in the Adams seizure case we're
marked by another attempt on the part
OF Mr.. Meigher, counsel for the United
States, to have reporters ordered out.
As soon as the first witness was intro
dueed Mr.. Meigher said that he desired
again to protest against the pres
sence of obnoxious reporters
The commissioner remarked that
be considered that the reporters were
showing bad taste by remaining after be-
Ing requested by the counsel to leave, but
that he had not been shown any authority
upon which to act, as Mr.. Meigher de-
sired. The reporters remained all day,
nothing further on the subject OF their de.
parture coming up, but just as they were
leaving each one was served with subpm-
ma summoning him to appearon September
30. to give evidence in the Adams case.
This means that Mr.. Meigher, having
failed to shut the men out as reporters
thinks he can do so when they are subpm-
naed as witnesses. The men intend to
fight for their rights, and have retained
Benj Russell, Q. O., one of the most
prominent lawyers of the city. He will
appear before the commissioners tO-mor-
row morning, and when Mr.. Meigher
asks to have the reporters ordered
out, as he undoubtedly will,
the grounds for this proceeding will be
demanded. The press reporters intend
to follow the matter 10 the bitter end, and
not abandon their position in court until
compelled to do so. The event has Gre
ated sensation in local paper circles
and Mr.. MeiRher's action 10 condemned
by everybody connected wi the
city press. Mr.. Meigher character
ICES the affair as IL stands as
outrageous, and saws that unless
be can stop the attendance OF reporters he
will break up the commissions course.

A MYSTERIOUS FAILURE.
One of the Richest Clothing Firms
at San Francisco Assigns.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-Julius
Baum & Co., Wholesale ciothers, at No. 0
Sansome street, assigned 10 Solomon
Sweet to-day for the benefit Of their credi-
tors. The firm is one of the oldest and
largest in the city. 1t consists of J.
Baum. H. Schrlere and Morris Schriere.
The failure was wholly unexpected, and
has caused much surprise among
business men. The liabilities are esti-
mated at from $150.000 to $1,000 900.
NO accurate Information on this point is
yet OBJ ainable. TIE cause of the failu re
is great mystery. Even those persons
most intimately acquainted with the firm
are utterly unable to assign any reasoDa-
ole cause. Mr.. Baum, the senior mem-
Der, mas. for many years been considered
very wealthy man, his private means
being estimated as high as $780,
600. He occupies handsome resi-
dence on Van Ness avenue. and owns
real estate valued at 100000. Ten months
ago the firms balance sheet showed sur
plus of assets OF $90O,000 Their business
since has apparently been prosperous. 1t
Is therefore believed that some heavy
speculations not connected with the busi-
ness OF the house must have been the
cause OF the assignment. The principal
creditors in this city are the London,
Parls ana American Bank, Daniel Meyer,
Bank of California and Sather Il
Co.. private bankers. All of these
banks are, however, said to be we'll Sc
cured, and their losses, if any, will be
light. The record of real estate transac-
tions to day shows conveyance by gift
by Julius Baum to Sadie Bauer of lot
on Van Ness avenue, south OF Bush
street, and the sale of the same property
by Sadie Bauer and her husband to Louis
Sloss. 1t is explained that Sadie Bauer
is Mr.. Baum's daughter, that the prop
erty was given TO her year ago and sub
sequently sold by her and her husband to
