New Orleans, Oct. 1.-The fever situa-
1lon was considerably improved today.
There have been two deaths reported up
10 TINS hour. of these one died last night
shortly after the board of health bulletin
was issued, the other had been sick for
several days and his death occurred this
morning. AS a matter of fact there has
been one death since 1920 last night al
though the record shows two Yester-
day by noon there had been nineteen
cases and five deaths and the disparity
between the records of the two days is
apparent.
Although the situation as to the fever
is improved it has not in a business way.
Yesterdays abnormal showing of cases
has had the effect of frightening the
rural districts, which were on the eve
of modifying their quarantine regulations,
and this morning much of the good work
that had been done had to be started all
over again. 1t seems apparent, however
that the worst has been passed here. The
weather is warm. cases are being re-
ported promiscusously without reference
10 their investigation by experts, and
there seems to be no estimation of the
damage likely to result to the city from
inflated reports of new cases. As mat
ter of fact the situation here is nc worse
than it hes been for some time and eX-
citement has absolutely died out.
Thousands of people are out of town who
were frightened away by the first fear
that there would be a great epidemic. but
now that the disease has shown no symp-
tom of an epidemic form, business men
are making arrangements to bring their
families back to the city.
This was the record today:
