THE SANITARIANS CONSULT.
Inc Depioraoie Situation Resultant From

Must Be RemedIed.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 17.-All is in
readiness for the national quarantine
convention, the opening session of
which took place Thursday morning in
Cermania hall.
Many delegates arrived Wednesday
and it is believed that a GOOD renre-
sentation from the communities most
deeply interested was present at the
opening session.
For months there has been a FEELING
all over the country that something
must be done for the south in combat
ting the deplorable situation resultant
from repeated epidemics or threatened
epidemics Not only was human life
risked, but the paralysis to business
and the consequent ruinOus financial
conditions were felt throughout the
whole southern territory no less than in
the stricken communities.
Dissatisfaction with present inefi-
cient quarantine regulations anda state
OF affairs which unnecessarily pa-alyzed
an entire section of country because of
a few infected points, resulting in a
| complete commercial decentralization.
was apparent and nowhere was the
feeling that change of method must
come more widespread than here in
Memphis.
To meet these exigencies the Mem
phis Merchants exchange promul gated
an invitation asking all interested to
meet in convention in this city on No
vember II, Is and 10 for the purpose of
exhaustively discussing questions of
epidemics and quarantine.

eX-surgeon general of the United States
Marine hospital service, arrived Tues
day. Surgeon General Wyman, of the
United States Marine hospital service,
has telegraphed that he would be I'M
| able to be present, and asks that Sur
geon II. p. Carter, who arrived We'd
nesday, be received by the conven-
ton as his representative. Among
the letters received is one from
United States Senator George G.
Vest, of Missouri, who is chairman Of
the senate committee on public health,
in which he regrets he can not attend
the convention. Senator Vest does not
believe that ANY legislation can be
had doing away with the present com
pick and conflicting conditions as to
quarantine"
THE state boards of health" the
letter concludes, ''are determined to
retain this jurisdiction as it now exists
and this is absolutely inconsistent with
the idea of such national quarantine
as will secure rapid and efficient oppo-
sition to yellow fever"
