NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 20.-The local
fever situation has undergone but little
change during the past "a hours. The
record book in the board of health office
shows total of six new cases and one
death, that Of Joseph Gisfasy, an Ital-
ian, of 1926 Urquhart street
The new cases are:
Rosalie Bacus, Hillary and Burth.
John Dell, Plum between Cambronne
and Jeffersan.
Irene Terrell, Charity hospital.
William Brandon, $3.50 Philip.
Nora II. Hynes. 3147 St. Claude
street.
Lena Green, cOlOrod, 1868 Camp
street.
The first two cases are in the extreme
upper portion Of the city one is in the
fourth district, one is in the st. Claude
street house, where the original six
cases were reported, and one is in the
Williams house, where two cases al
ready existed.
There are three cases under investiga-
ton and the health authorities still
view the situation with some compla-
cency. They do not yet anticipate an
epidemic, as at its meeting last night
the board decided TO abandon its night
ly sessions and created DIR. Oliphant
master of the campaign against the dis
ease with leave to solicit advice from
local physicians and the municipal au-
thorities. The afternoon and night
bulletins will be continued.
The report of DIR. Metz, the city
chemist on the condition of the Italian
quarter moved the board to prompt
acceptance of the offer of the city Of the
marine hospital as a refuge. DIR. Metz
found as many as go people huddled to-
gether in the Italian quarter living in
squalor and filth. In one of the rooms
a goat was found sleeping nightly with
the family who owned it. The woman
Graffato was taken from this quarter
and the board realized that unless some
thing was done at once, tho block in
which the woman had lived was likely
soon to become a plague spot. 1t was,
therefore, decided to guard and thor
oughly disinfect and fumigate the en-
tire square and to remove as soon as
possible most of the families to the old
marine hospital. The hundred squat
ters who now occupy the latter build
ing will be given quarters in one Of the
new schoolhouses in the vicinity and
the marine hospital buildings viii be
permanently used as a refuge until the
fever Is stamped out, for the families
of the Italian quarters and those OF the
INDECENT sick throughout the city.

DAMAGES FOR A LYNcHlNe.
The Smith AntI-Lynch Law to BE Tested
In the Courts.


URBANA, o., Sept. 20.-Hon. Charles
H. Bosler of Dayton, speaker pro tenn.
of the house of representatives, and
Hon. George NJ. Eichelberger of this
citys as attorneys for Benjamin f.
Church, who has been appointed adj
ministrator of the estate of Charles W.,
alias "Chck" Mitchell, has filed suit
against the county commissioners to re-
cover So, 900 from the county for the
lynching of Mitchell. which is the
amount of damages fixed by the Smith
anti-lynch law.
The same law prohibits the commits
sioners making or attempting any COM
promise. The suit is the first of the
kind. The county commissioners will
resist payment to the end. The case is
destined to reach the supreme court,
because of the opposition of the COM
missioners ON the one side, and the en-
couragement lent the other by the Afro
American societies of the state, which
are pushing the case.
