Notified officially today that the case
of yellow fever at Montgomery, Ala,
is that of William Minninett, planter.
He was taken ill Friday at the Capt.
tola hotel on coming from Kentwood,
La, five miles from New Orleans. The
hot weather of Tuesday is given by
experts as the cause for the increase
in the number of new cases.
At noon the official report stated
there were six deaths in the emergency
hospital, all Italians. There was no
report of new cases from 10: 80 to noon.
Only two new cases are known official
ly today. A local cotton firm mas re-

the oil covering. Extra forces of men
were put to work this morning to go
over the territory and re-oil each els

mosquito law, providing a penalty of
$25 for a property owner failing to
have his cistern screened and oiled.
At o'clock there were reports of
eight new cases today. Governor

manded Of the commander of the ship
