New Orleans. August With the ma rine hospital service under the author ity of President Roosevelt in complete control, the scientific fight to eradicate yellow fever from New Orleans before frost, heretofore the only prophyiactic, took on fresh life today. and with ample funds, the best available medical talent and an army of willing workers at his back, Dr. J. H. White, surgeon In charge, hopes for a successful termination of the struggle.
 During the day Dr White received for nal orders from Surgeon General Wy man, notifying him that the federal gov ernment had decided to assume the task prepared for if and immediately visited the state and city boards of health. where he communicated the news to Presidents souchon and Kohke and arranged for the transfer of the work Both pledged all the assisttnce of themselves and the forces under raem to Dr. White in his

 As soon as the settlement of details will permit the receiving and compiling sof the daily reports will be turned over to Dr. White and his lieutenants. The impression that all the cases have not been made public is entirely unjust. In this connection a statement some time since appeared in many newspapers throughout the country that although the New Orleans health authorities had announced only total of fifty deaths. the marine hospital report had put the figure at more than 200. Dr. White. in reply. states that no such statement was ever given out by his department. that no such number of deaths had occurred and that the figures carried daily by the Asso- ciated Press were correct.

 sItsis said that the fruit companies which have been doing business4here are nlak- ing arrangements to continue to import through New Orleans, where they have abundant facilities for supplying tne en- tire Mississippi valley. Under the mild rules which were in effect before the fe- yer. the fruit companies built fast ships to make quick trips between the fruit countries of Central America and New Orleans. That enabled them to handle their cargoes with great rapidity and without the necessity of elaborate refrig eration upon shipboard. Now that 1t seems days detention will be required, it is ex- will be equipped with the most modern refrigerating plants, which will enable them to go into detention on their arrival the risk of too rapid ripening of the fruit in their holds

Situation in Shreveport.

Shreveport. La, August 7.--Dr. Gold berger, of the United States marine hos pital service. tonight gave out the fol- lowing statement on conditions as he finds them at the detention camp out side of the city:
 T. Barney Tracey. convalescing from yellow fever
 "2. Ed Haslitt post mortem examna- tion shows yellow fever. The case was not seen by me in life.
 "3. Ed Jones, malarIal fever.
 A. Albert Miller This case was seen by me at a stage where diagnosis was impossible. In the opinion of the local authorities this was case of yellow fever
 ..All the cases were of men who tried to enter the city from other points, but were stopped on the outskirts by the quarantine inspectors and conveyed un- der proper precautions to a detention camp and there carefully screened. There appears to be no danger of spread and no cases are known to be present in the city"
 Statement Creates Stir.
 Dr. Goldberger has caused a stir. the impression having been since yesterday that he declared the case of Tracey as not being yellow fever One physician is said to have gone to him and asked if he had not changed his opinion to make 1t coincide with Dr. Eaves, the Texas afficer here who had considerable experience with yellow fever in Texas and Mexico. Dr. Goidberger indignantly denied ever having intimated that Tracey did not have yellow fever.
 The news of the two other cases of yellow fever was first made public to- night and created no excitement. These cases were considered suspicious by To- cal health authorities, but they decided to await the arrival of Dr. GoldberRer. and hIs diagnosis of them. Both Has lit and Miller claimed to have come from Arkansas and both denied ever having been in New Orleans or in the infected districts elsewhere.

LOSS IN FINANCIAL WAY
 HAS BEEN ENORMOUS.

It probably will never be possible to estimate the losses which New Orleans has suffered in financial way through the diversion of business but the heavy tax on the people by the present visitation Is shown by the fact that besides the money already spent, by the board of health and the quarter of a million to be raised for the government, thousands of dollars have been subscribed and expend-

4 Be Taken to Supreme Court.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April -
Tax Commissioner Dillon yesterday sent
out Instructions to county assessors in
which he embodied ais views upon tne
matter Of assessing leases upon coal,
oil and gas lands. 1t ans been main
|tainsd by the coal, oil and gas men
that there was no provision in the law
lby wnicn their leases could bs assessed
I:Rnd that they were, in fact, not proper
snbiects of taxation, because they are
not in reality leases, but purchases Of
50 much coal. oil or gas, as the case
Inaignt be, with the use of the land and
lothsf appurt snancss nscessary TO the
removal Of snen coal, oil or gas thrown
in Al mere incidents.
Commissioner Dillon holds that these
leases are prop erty and That when taey
have value beyond the price paid for
the articles to be produced, taey are TO
:taat extent taxable and must be as
sessed as personal property on the per-
scnal property books.
The coal, oil and gas men appeared
before the commissioner last Tuesday
evening, both in person and by counsel
+, and argued the question very elab-
soratsly. The matter will undoubtedly
be taken TO the supreme court, which
has already established precedent
against the taxing of oil leases in the
Carter case that went up from Tyler
county. In That case it was held that
tie lessee had nothing That could b
taxed beyond tne tangible property
necessary to carry on the work of pro
sfucing oil. as the well itself was but
the means through which the oil was
obtained and the lessor could NOT b'
said TO possess tine oil when II was
taken from the ground.
