New Orleans. Oct. 3.-At s o'clock TO-
hisnt, When the days work of the board
~ nealtn mad been almost completed,
uneie was no evidence that Sunday
would be record breaker. On the
contrary. the fever situation at that
h0ur had apparently not grown worse.
Ihere mad been about twenty-seyen
cases reported and but two deaths. one
Oh the latter having occurred this morn
ing and the other tonight. The death
percentage has been to some extent
reduced, and the authorities were en-
u couraged to believe that the extraordi-
! nary work that has been done in the
kAway OF sanitation in the past few days
having excellent effect and is pre-
= venting wide spread of the prevailing
disease. In the past week the foci Of
Infection have not been largely i'll
creased. Many of the new cases that
appear are still being found in houses
where the infection previously exist
ed. AS an evidence of the success of
sanitation, DR.. Metz reports that by
Tuesday all the houses in the St.
Claude district, where the infection was
first introduced, will be released from
quarantine. On st. Claude street and
its neighborhood residents cooperate
with the board in the work of disnfec-
confined to the single square in which
it started. The authorities have more
than been successful in wiping out the
foci of infection of Hospital street and
of the home for homeless men.
Dr. Metz says the fever spreads only
where residents seek to put obstacles
in the way of the authorities, prevent
disinfection and escape from houses
that have been quarantined.
There is an unfOunded impression
among the laborng classes that the
authorities are imposing upon them
and discriminating against them in
fa;o. of the rich. The contrary is
true. President Olliphant says the
well-to-do are abiding by the rules laid
down by the board and aiding in SAM
tation, realizing that only through CO.
operation between the public and the
sanitary officers it is possible to effec-
tually stamp out the disease that was
imported into New Orleans. Inc
board of health will invite the laborlng
people into conference, with view to
having the leaders of the organizations
do missionary work in educating the
MASSES that ready cooperation with the
RUoard of health will best make possible
