ment over those during the middle Of
the week. and the fact that there is
only new sub-foci, one uptown and
one downtown. is source of special
encouragement An effort is being
Mi be to determine the number of
o6es under treatment, and allowing
Zen days, which is a liberal estimate,
for a patient to either recover or
die. 1t is figured that there are now
233 cases under treatment.
The city has contributed s250,000
to assist the government in handling
the disease.
The decision to ask the Federal gov
ernment to take control was reached
at a meeting Of city and State officials
and others, held late Friday at the
cotton exchange.
DOUBLE MOTIVE FOR AC4 .Oh.
1t was the consensus of the meeting
that government control would restore
confidence throughout the other
States in the South, and the belief was
expressed that Surgeon General Wy
man would be able to send force OF
physicians to New Orleans thoroughly
equipped for the handling of the yel-
low fever situation because Of their
experience and unquestionable facil-
tiles to enforce q scientific campaign
against the fever.
When local health officers first took
charge of the situation it was hoped
that the fever could be stamped out
within a reasonable time, but the in
fection has spread, and so frightened
have the people become in the South
over the increase in the number OF
cases that I>ew Orleans is threatened
with a serious paralysis Of trade by
reason Of radical quarantines.
A telegram signed by the mayor and
others present was addressed to Gov
ernor Blanchard, telling him Of the ac-
ton taken.

a gallant Confederate soldier, entering
the service as a member Of the First
Georgia Regiment, later commanding
Howelrs Battery of Artillery dnring
practically the whole of the war.
After the surrender he settled in At
lanta. taking up the practice OF the
law. He was one OF the most potent
factors in rebuilding this city and IN
the development of the State from the
devastation Of the war. AS a young
lawyer he Served as Solicitor General
during the stormy days OF the recon-
struction period, when to his
services was largely due to sup
preston of the lawlessness then
so rife. In 1876 he bought the
Atlanta Constitution with Henry w.
Grady and William A. Hemphill. He
retained control OF this newspaper un-
til 1897, when he retired, and since then

eral of the national convention and
prominent figure in each. He served as
member of both branches Of the State
Legislature some years ago, but. heid
no other political Office save that OF
mayor Of Atlanta, for which he was
nominated during his absence from the
community. His term o. service to this
Office ended last year.
He has been prominently identified
with every movement for the develop
ment of this city and section, notably
with the first Cotton Exposition IN
1882, which opened the eyes OF the
country to the South's industrial pro-
gress and with all the later exposl-
tions. He has been director in every
new railroad built into Atlanta since
the war. He was a member OF the
commission which built Geogia's new
capitol and which performed the feat
OF completing its works within the orig
iual appropriation and turning back
into the Treasury surplus. Captain
Howell was rendered a place in the
diplomatic service by President Cleve-
land. but declined it. He served by
appointment of President Mckinley
upon the commission to investigate the
conduct of the war with Spain. His
wife. who was Miss Julia Erwin, ana
seven children survive him, among
them Editor Clark Howell.
