MORE DEATHS FROM
PLAGUE AT MAZATLANf
Fatal Consequences of Refusal to Go
to Lazaretto.

MAZATLAN, Mex, Jan. 9.-Thirty-
seven people are in the lazarettos and
six deaths occurred today, one entire
family having died of the plague.
Many people have left the city and
gone to live on the islands near here.
A number of Americans also have de-
parted. 1t has been decided to disin-
feet the entire city at once. The char
ity commission will pay for the houses
that have to be burned and for all
clothing destroyed.
A man attacked by the plague was
found on his way to Ell Castillo. He
was brought to the city to be sent to
a lazeretto, but he died on the way
there.
A woman, in order to save her SON
from being taken to a lazaretto, put
him in bed at home. His father and
she herself were in consequence attack
ed by the plague and died within few
hours. The house has been burned by
the authorities. The people seem to be
afraid of being taken to the lazaretto,
preferring to remain at their houses
when attacked by the plague, but the
authorities are constantly hunting up
sick people and taking them in charge.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. a
PRESIDENT Roosevelt's efforts to lead
d rough-r1der charge Of legislation
against the trusts are not meeting with
the success which he hoped. He and
attorney General Knox are three-ouar-
ters OF the way up the hill. but the
congressional regiment is back in the
chapparel. The bill drawn by the de-
partment of justice and heralded AS tha
administration measure proves to he a
iilodlncatlon of the interstate commerce
law. placing all kinds of new and dras-
TIC regulations on railroads. Trusts
anu railroads seem to be regarded bv
tne administration as Identical About
al that the administration asks is
drastic anti trust legislation.
Members of congress in both branch
es are doubtful as to tba i,s+ioo -
combining trust legislation to the COM
mon carriers. Notifications of the in
terstate law have been considered for
months by both senate and house of
committees dealings with interstate
commerce legislation, but Representa-
tive Hepburn and Senator Elkins have
both concluded after many hearings.
that pending bills would probably have
to go until next session.
Nelson's for One.
Senator Nelson is the author of one
bill and Representative Wagner of an
other. Both have been studied careful
ly by attorneys and by members Of
the interstate commerce commission.
congress should now be asked to pass
over its own efforts to develop this
legislation and take up a bill drafted
by Attorney General Knox and ap-
proved by Mr.. Roosevelt. Congressmen
say this is an unwarranted at&t
by. the executive department to dictate
to the legislative branch.
1t was discovered today that scaree-
ly a member of the judiciary commit
tee from which the Knox bill came
is in favor of it. Littlefeld was at
work on one of his own. Jenkins
thinks it unreasonable. Oyerstreet re-
CARDS 1T as impracticable, and so on.
Meantime Mr.. Roosevelt is telling ev-
erybody who comes to the White house
that this bill must be passed or there
VII! be an extra session; neither of
winch events, think well-informed SEN
ators, are likely to happen.
