YELLOW FEVER rNvEsr1aArIof
Report of the Committee of scient- iatr

Washington, July 15.-Surgeon General Wyman has submitted to Secretary Shaw l the full report of the commission or scientists appointed to collect facts con- corning yellow fever. This commission. acting in conjunction with the yellow fever institute, visited Vera Cruz. Mexico, and after a six months investigation there and further study of the subject in this country, has reached the following conclusions: 70
 First-That the bacseriological examina- ton of tine blood of cases of yellow fever during life and the bloods and organ at autopsy performed immediately after death in uncomplicated cases is negative.
 Second-That stegomyia fasciata, when contaminated by feeding on a case Of yellow fever forty-one and one-hah hours after the onset of the disease and sub seuuently fed on sugar and water for twenty-two days. one and a half hours, can, when permitted to feed on a non- immune individual. produce a severe at tack of the disease.
 Third-That steromyia fasciata, con- taminated by feeding on a case of yellow fever and after varying periods killed sectioned and appropriately stained, pre- sents with regularity protozan parasite, myxococidium stegomyiae, that can be traced through cycle of development from the gamaete to the sporozoite.
 Fourth-That stegomyia fasciata fed on blood from a case of malarial fever on normal blood or artificially fed does not harbor the parasite indicated in conclu- sion three.

hama to bs prssent at the convention of the Georgia Ginner's Association which would be held at Athens. Georgia Fri day, August 2.
 President Hammock was accorded hearty appiAuse. .a si q
 The president announced that the topic up for discussion was Insurance on gin property and cotton passing through such property"
 V. H. Bell of Fort Deposit said that if there was anything in the world that the ginners needed relief from. 1t was exorbitant insurance. The sinners, be said. were paying double interest on their plants. He would like, he said, to secure information as to the solvency of the companies represented by the At lanta firm.
 Mir. Hanson said that the placing of the insurance was in a quibbling state just now It would not be advisable, he said. to make public the name of the companies placing the business He gave his personal assurance that the companies were entirely solvent. Mir Mcintyre of the firm of Mcintyre q Haas, the firm in question was invited to address the Association. He was, he said, in the insurance business to make money as his hearers were in the ginning business to make money. He had at one time been farmer and ginner and when he went into the insurance business he had devoted special attention to the in- surance of gins. The insurance on gins had been widely scattered and the rate was high because there was no tangible way of classifying gin property.
 He had made certain rates to the Ex- ecutive Committee which had been sat- isfactory. He preferred not to make public his rates and the names of his company until his proposition had been accepted. There would be no secrecy about 1t, he said. The ginners would be told, he said, the rates and the com panies. The low rate would be given only to members of the Association
 The features of the contract submitted by MT. Mcintyre were informally dis cussed.
 J. D. Clayton of Eufaula did not favor the proposition of giving blindly to one firm all the insurance. The compet tition for the Insurance, he said, should be open to the world. The Association should. he said. insure in one company, but the company should be selected by competi- ton.
 At 2:3o p. m, the Association adjourned an hour for dinner.

MORNING SESSION.
Discussion of Reducing Insurance
 Rates on Gins.

G1dJSO O1l GAASs
 The Association began it's deliberations at noon. The assemblage was rapped to order by President Hiram Hawkins. Pre- vious to its assembling, the Executive Committee held a meeting in a corner of the hall for the arrangement of a. pro- gram.
 At that time there were present about sixty ginners, but others continued to come in. Two or three of the morning trains were late.
 The roll of the Association was called by Secretary C. C. Hanson. He reported that out of Ill gin plants members of the Association, forty-five were present.
 President Hawkins said that in enact ing the bylaws a serious error had been made in requiring half the members to be present. That reQuirtment for a quorum was too large.
 Secretary Hanson called attention to the fact that the Southern Cotton oil Com- pany was credited with only eleven gin plants, while 1t had twenty plants, all of which were represented by J. W. Black

WORKMAN FALLS
SEVEN STORIES
Fred Axelbright Is Knocked
From Lofty Perch on Mer-
chants Exchange by Derrick

Within the period of two weeks two
men have lost their lives on the new
building in course of construction for
the Merchants Exchange.
On November % w. d. Rankin fell
several stories to the ground. and yes
terday Fred Axelbright, not many
hours after he had been served with
subpoena to give evidence as to the
cause of the tragic death of his fell
low workman, fell from a height Of
seven stories. striking within five feet
of where Rankin had landed. Axel-
brights injuries were of such a seri-
Gus nature that he expired half an hour
after his admission to the Central
Emergency Hospital.
j.. B. Dutton, superintendent of the
building, who was on the ground floor
at the time of the accident, heard an
exclamation and, looking round. saw
a mans hat falling, but did not see
the man.
Deputy Coroner P. ]. Mccormick
made an investigation into the circum-
stances surrounding the fatality and
gathered the information that Alex
bright was seated on an iron beam on
the seventh story when the breast der
rick fell backward, and the presump-
ton is that the workman, in trying to
get out of the way, lost his hold and
was precipitated to the ground.
Henry Rosenbohm, who is in charge
of the men working on the seventh
story of the building. told of the der
rick falling backward to the floor.
He saw Axelbright jump over the
girder to get out of the way. At that
time Axelbright was holding on to a
rope attached to the derrick. Rosen-
bohm did not see him fall. Rosenbohm
said that the derrick was in good
working order.
A. S. Ballantine, superintendent Of
the steel construction, was on the fifth
floor at the time of the accident.
BalIantine said the derrick fell back
on the floor, but he could not ex-
plain how it was that Axelbright came
to fall. Ballantine said that all ma
chinery used in the construction Of the
building was in perfect condition
Policeman T. p. Walsh was almost
the first at Axelbright's side after he
fell He gave him whisky to revive
! him and the unfortunate man. who
was suffering acute pain, begged that
/ his leg should not be touched and then
/ became unconscious. He was uncon-
! scious when he arrived at the hos
pital. where an examination of his In
/ 1uries by Drs. Maher and Murphy
! showed that there was no possibility
/ of saving his life. The right arm was
! almost torn from it's socket. the right
hin Joint was fractured and he was in
! jured internally
Axelbright had been married only
four months, and lived with mis- bride
at 904 Howard street. He was Dane
and 80 years of age.

PREFERS PLAN
OF SANTAREAU
Engineer yoyle Gives Reasons
Why the High Cut Is Best
for the Panama Canal
SICKNESS THUS AVOIDED
BY Digging the Artificial River
on an Altitude, Low Land
Will Be Made Healthful

Civil Engineer Joseph Voyle, resi-
dent of Berkeley, who has had many
years experience in Central America
in mining and engineering work, said
in an interview yesterday that he ia
vored the plan of NJ. Santareau for
cutting the Panama Canal.
Said Mr.. Voyle: About the year 1890
a variety of plans were proposed for
the completion of the Panama Canal.
One of the most notable of these was
that proposed by M. Santareau, that
instead of following NJ. de LessepS'
plan of sea level canal, there be made
a lake on the high level, with quick
acting locks to raise and lower the yes
sells to and from the level of the lake.
This body of water. he estimated,
would cover twenty-four kilometers of
the distance, leaving only fifty kilome-
ters of cut for docks and water levels.
By this plan the largest portion of the
swampy land would be covered. and
thus nearly the whole of the 100000
hectares of land owned by the canal
company would be rendered habitable.
The waters of the Chagres River would
be utilized also, and one of the most
troublesome problems of the route
would be disposed of.
This plan is now worthy of further
attention. for, if my memory serves me
Alright, the depth intended and already
cut is insufficient for ships now being
built; therefore, the so-called finished
part must be gone over and cut to the
required depth. Health conditions to
be considered are not only those which
concern the laborers now, but the crews
and passengers of the ships going
across the isthmus. A deep cut under a
tropical sun, with it's malarial atmos-
phere, might soon become too unpOpu-
lar to use, except in exceptional cases.
The covering with salt water of the
swampy portion, thereby destroying
malaria, and the crossing at a high alti-
tude where probably a strong draft of
pure air would be in constant flow, is
no small advantage offered by the plan
of M. Santareau."

COOLING UNDER
ASSU UMED NAMES
James A. Cunningham and His
Bride Enter on Their Honey
moon at the Palace Hotel
WEDDING AT CITY HALL
Justice Daniels Figures in
the Concluding Chapter of
a Salt Lake City Romance

Under the inscription of IF. b.
Cook and wife, of Sacramento,
James A. Cunningham, wealthy
mining man of Salt Lake, and his
fair young bride, also of the same city,
endeavored yesterday to conceal their
presence at the Palace Hotel, while
they entered upon their honeymoon.
The elimination of their marital ro-
nance, which began with the aged
capitalists quiet departure from Salt
Lake, followed by that of Miss Bessie
Glass. former milliner of the Nor
mon City, who joined him in this city
Tuesday, occurred yesterday after
noon, when the couple, despite the
protests from the mining mans chill
dren, secured a license and were
promptly married.
Late yesterday afternoon Cunning
ham and Miss Glass visited Cupid
Danforths office at the City Hall, OBJ
tanned a marriage license and immedi-
ately after repaired to the chambers of
Justice of the Peace Daniels, by whom
the nuptia! knot was tied. In the alb
sence of friends of the bridal couple
Justice Daniels pressed into service as
a courtroom clerk, and ten minutes
later Mr.. and Mrs. Cunningham were
journeying back to the Grand Hotel,
where they had made their separate
abodes the night previous. In his ap-
plication for a license Cunningham
gave his age as 60 years and that of
his bride as rs.
Arriving at the Grand. Cunningham
promptly paid his bill and ordered a
porter to take his own as we'll as his
wife's baggage to the Palace Hotel,
where it was ordered stored This
move was apparently intended as
ruse, with the view of throwing In
quisitive people off his track, lor few
minutes later the bride ana groom
quietly entered the Palace, where the
latter registered IF, b. Cook and
wife, Sacramento" and they were
shown to their rooms.
Cunningham last evening expressed
himself as indignant over the publicity
given to his matrimonial affairs, which
he attributes to the meddlesome dispo-
sition of several of his wife's acquaint-
ances in Salt Lake The fact that he
had been married before and was the
father of several grown children, he
said, was no reason why he should not
be permitted to marry again, and in
doing so he remarked that he did not
think it within the province of friends
or relatives to suggest whom he should
engage as his fireside companion.

VIOLATES AN ORDINANCE
Turns on the Gas at the Meter Daily
and Frank Elfros is
SuffOpafaH

Landlord j. ]. Sweeney of the lodg-
ing house at ia Pacific street ad-
mitted to Deputy Coroner Brown yes
terday that he had been in the habit
of turning the gas off at the meter
between and 9 o'clock in the morn
ing and turning it on again at 4 or
4:30 in the afternoon. The subject
that led up to that admission was the
dead body of Frank Elfros, who had
been suffocated in bed by the fumes
of Illuminating gas which had escaped
during the night from burner, the
key of which was partly open.
Elfros was 65 years old and a ma
tive of Russia. He had followed the
business of a building contractor up to
the time that he lost an arm by the
falling of steel beam in the Mills
building, on which he had a sub-con-
tract. Latterly he had been employed
at odd times as a watchman.

Saws McCIintock Is Wrong.

The Supreme Court handed down
an opinion yesterday reiterating the
previous Interpretation of the law in
respect to percolating waters in the
Katz-W -Walkinshaw case. w. o. Nc
Clintock made an excavation in his
land in Los Angeles County for the
purpose of collecting percolating wa
ters and when Victoria Hudson, who
owned adjoining property, protested,
he brought suit to quiet his title. The
lower court decided in his favor. The
higher tribunal says that the evidence
shows that the water secured by Nc
Clintock would naturally have flowed
in San Jose Creek and that his con-
tentions are wrong. The case conse-
quently goes back for new trial.

witness Wilkerson lavished attentions
galore on Myrtle Rosedale, one of the
members of the company. Miss Rose
