New Orleans, Oct. Given as earlx
rs o'clock this morning the day had
proved to be record breaker. both AZ
to the number of cases and as TO tie mum
Der of deaths that had been reported.
On one day just IL week ago five deaths
were recorded but one of those WINS I'M
official and had been put ON the list of
the day before. The Increase in cases
today was not unexpected. The weather,
has been warm during the afternoon and
the territory the board of health has to >
cover makes perfect scrutiny Impossible
and germs are being distributed. While
the number of cases under Treatments to-
day are in the neighborhood of 80, there
are many houses which have not yet beon
disinfected, but in which the patieuts
have been declared well. Less restraint
than usual Is imposed on the inmates OF
such premises. and the result has been
that the number of foci has been in
creased But the total death rate is still /
small in proportion to the number OF
cases and the doctors think that the bad
news of the past two or three days does
not pOrtend anything Of the nature of
even the mildest kind Of an epidemic.
The ready money Is not ut hand to en-
ploy thoroughly efficient men as guards
and there il some looseness in the en-
ployment of help by the board. But there
is no occasion to apprehend. with the near
| approach of winter. any serious increase
in the daily fatalities.
| This was the record today.
