New Orleans. October 20. There was
little in the fever situation today beyond
the fact that all previous records as TO the
number Of new cases were broken. Rarly
| in the evening flfty-thrce new cases had
been entered on the books OF the board.
| AT tho same time there had been six
deaths. These had all occurred during the
early morning hours and It was charactr-
istio OF the days events that although
there had been six deaths reported up TO
| z o'clock not single one OF them had
occurred since noon The weather today
has been not unlike that of previous weeks.
| It has been cool and sultry during the
night and early morning, and Is especially
| calculated to produce fatalities. OF the
deaths today two or three were the result
OF poor treatment The most prominent
death was that 81 Ira T. Britton. Mr. Brit
ton was manager of the General Electric
company here. lie had come here about a
year ago from Columbus, Ohio. Taken
down a few days ago, he had been unable
TO rally and this morning he died. Pascal
Maggestruno, who said he was from Kan
saa city, walked into the Charity hospital
last night and said he was i'll. A rapid
diagnosis showed that the man was suffer-
ing from yellow fever. He was quickly
taken out to the Isolation hospital but
,,a had not been there many hours fore
( g reathcd his last.
