News Of Yellow Jack.

Cons 1esable excitement was raised
this week ovef, the official announcement
of twelve cases 81 yellow fever at GAL
weston, Texas, wheN it has prevailed for
a month or more unNer the designation
OF "denzue fever" It is of the mildest
type. and no deaths have occurred.
The scare is in large measure allayed,
since the country finds that the death

about equals the number of births, and
there really is no epidemic"
We are again under obligations to Mr..
B. G. Dean, mayor Of Boyce, for the off,
cial report of the New Orleans board of

TPtal number OF cases to date, $50.
Total deaths to date, II.
Naw cases in last "a hours, 80.
Deaths is last "a hours, 4.
The report Of yellow fever at Shreve-
port is positively contradicted by Judge

dent of the Shreveport board of health.

HE ROBBED The LEGATION
Boyer Took ValuableS Belonging to
the German Ambassador.
The Man Also Forged the Signature
OF Count de Goctzen-He lie VIII BE
Sent to Germany.

Herman Boyer, who was arrested in Bal

for robbing the German legation January
2s, viii be sent back to his native country
He is held by Marshal Fry in Baltimore for
forging the signature of Count de Goetzen,
military attache OF the German legation,

sui.
Detective Carter went to Baltimore yes
terday to investigate the charges against
Boyer. He learned that the man came to
this country about six weeks ago. He was
detained by United States immigration In
spectOr L. II. Robinson in Philadelphia,
and was to be deported. In some manner
he made his escape and came to this city.
He went TO the German legation and

tendants were absent from the room he

The COMPANIES WILL FIGHT
Opposition to the Proposed Measure
Requiring Flagmen.
A Law Suggested by the Congested
Travel at Fourteenth stree and
New York Avenue.

The Commissioners still have under ad-
visement the proposed Congressional en-
actment to require the placing Of flagmen
| at the points OF street car routes where
rapid transit lines interscct, a proposition
recently brought to their consideration by
| Chairman Babcock, of the House District
| Committee. 1t is the understanding, how
| ever, that the measure will be submitted at
an early day, a necessary step in order to
| give time for the two houses To pass upon
it before the close OF the session.
The attention OF the House Committee was
called to the alleged dangerous condition Of
affairs at the intersection of Fourteenth
street and New York avenue. 1t was claim
ed by someone thai the liability t. accident
at that point required some precautionary
measure, and the Recommendation for such
| action was accordingly made by the chair
man OF the committee to the Commits
sionels.
a bill was drafted and referred to the
attorney for the District, who approved it
and returned it To the board. 1t is be-
lieved that the attorneys opinion was in
some degree favorable 10 the existing
arrangement under the code OF signals eS-
tablshed by the railways, but that he
recognized the crossing at Fourteenth
street and New York avenue as excep-
tional. Mctormen are supposed by the au-
thorities to be more particular as to the
progress of their trains and the avoid
ance of collisions than for the safety OF
pedestrians, and Mr.. Thomas is under
stood to have suggested the necessity for
a flagman there.
In the proposed legislation, il is alleged,
the attorney Indicated that the companies
should be held as liable for violations,
but il the remedy is to be applied through
an amendment OF the police regulations
the emotormanandconduct upon any train
causing injury or damage, should be held
responsible and made subject to arrest
This is the substance of the attorneys
recommendation, as it is understood by
posed legislation will be vigorously opposed
from start to finish, President Harries
declares II is the contention of the COM
panies that there is no occasion for demand
ing of them any greater precautions than
are already observed, precautions which
they claim have successfully averted ac-
cidents If the District authorities feel
that there should be a watchman at each
crossing for the protection of pedestrians,
thecolupanies insist that the expense should
be borne by the District. In other cities,
they claim, the duty OF guarding the
crossings is imposed upon the police, and
that the police should be charged with the
responsibility here.
