The yellow fever situation in the
south is not 50 favorable today, high
temperature and heavy rains in New
Orleans, the center OF Infection, not
only producing unfavOrable climatic
conditions, but undOing much that
has been accomplished in the last "a
hours in the way OF Oiling cutters,
cisterns and ponds, and making ii
necessary for this work to be done
over.
Passenger and freight traffic on the
roads in and out Of New Orleans is
practically paralyzeo. All suburban
service TO coast towns was discOn-
tinued a week ago and almost daily
the roads have been dropping one or
more trains until the service on most
lines is at a minimum.
There we're no developments today
in the controversy over the alleged
invasion OF Louisiana by Mississippi
troops guarding the frontier except
the announcement from Jackson that
Governor Vardman had decided to
go personally to the scene and inves-
tigate conditions for himself The
governor acted upon receipt OF a
telegram OF complaint from Governor
Blanchard.
Many Refugees.
The detention camps on the roads
outside New Orleans are filled with
refugees The contention camp on the
Louisville and Nashville was fixed to
day, arrangements being finally made
to have the station located between
Louisiana and Mississippi on the line.
All trains carry armed guards and
train Inspections extends as far north
as Carlo, Ill Mobile has frightened its
protective Gordon and has ordered in
addition TO disinfectiOn, a detention OF
five days for all boats coming from
Central and South American ports.
Texarkana, on the line between Ar
kansas and Texas has ordered a dis
continuance of all trains between
Shreveport where case appeared
last night, and Texarkana.
Arkansas as well as Mississippi is
using its militiamen as quarantine Of
icers and has stationed them at
points to prevent the landing Of peo-
pie from infected districts. Shotgun
guarantees prevail in many parts OF
the far south, this emphatic manner
OF stopping refugees having been in
operation near Vicksburg for about
week

i interfering with Louisiana citizens

/ port by wire that armed Mississip-
/ plans had been crossing the line, that
