The county commissioners had another
long discussion today of the yellow fever
quarantine. While the discussion was In
progress DR. Warbeld. the county physi-
clan. arrived 10 report what he had done.
The doctor said he had conferred with
Messrs. Fisher. Skinner and West .. the
CITY board Of health. They had informed
him that thew would gladly cooperate
with the county as nearly as consistent
with their own work. They suggested
that the count ioin the city in the estab-
lshment Of a camp OF detention al Virginia
Point where all the roads from the North
and East. EXCEPT the Gulf and Interstate,
converge. They had suggested. in aGd-
ton. that each have corps OF inspectors
sersrately. so as not to compNcate Ut

she should be prevented. If possible, from
entering the county. Where The rerson
would not turn back. he or she sho.ld be
taken at once to the camp of detention

question. 1t would prove very costly and
beside would be more difficult to fully and
carefully handle. The plan outlined above,
he believed. everything considered 10 be
the best The Capitalization at Virginia
Point and the additional inspection at the
county line should prove ample.
Mr. Vdor asked DR.. Warneld II arrange
ments would be made to have the train

stoppaee II 1t were found that there was
| necessity for placing persons aboard in
| the camp of detention. DR.. Warfield said
it would be done.
| DR. Wariield reported that the people In
the cosst country towns were i'm a high
| state OF INDIGNATION by reason Of the pres
| enca in several places Of persons who had
been refused entrance into Galveston. These
| persons had been turned back at Virginia
| Point and had taken auanters In coast
| country towns. The coast country people
wanted them to get out, The people
| didn't know which way to turn.
The doctor said he had been kept on
| the iump all morning answering questions
| over the phone from coast country towns
| az to what he was going to do. The PRO-
| tests the people made were pretty warm.
| In enc case this morning he mad been
asked to have talk with one OF two men
J who had been turned back. The man came
to the 'nhone and stated his case to the
doctor. He used a good deal OF vigorous
early English IN expressing his opinion
OF the action Of the city authorities. Fr.
warfield told him the easier way was the
| better aud advised him TO 20 back TO l'ous-
ton and remain there until the quarantine
period was over The man asked when
that would be- The doctor said 1t depended
on circumstances-ten TO twenty days
