To End Oil Inquiry.

Birmingham, Special.-H. M. Beck,
of this city who is representing minori-
ty stockholders of the United Oil and
Land Company, of Columbus, Ga,
states that the final hearing in the in
vestigation proceedings against the Of
ficers of the company is to be given
in Columbus, Ca, on September Z. A
temporary injunction has been in force
since last fall which restraints the
majority stockholders from ~disposing
of the company's properties at Moki-
trick, California, in the Bakersfield
district. The Associated Oil Company,
which is the largest producer in
California, nov operates wells which
oil daily and the companiespra Ger
turn out about 1000 to 1900 barrels Of
oil daily and the officers of the Asso-
ciated Company are the majority

YELLOW FEVER CONDITIONS
Yellow Jack Grows Alternately Worse
and Better
FATALITIES BECOME LESS COMMON
New Cases Show Up in Many Sec
tions of New Orleans and Else
where.

New Orleans, Special-Omcial report
to 6 p. M:
New cases, So; total to date, 2OS2.
Deaths, 5; total, 292.
New disease centers, Is.
Cases under treatment, 321; discharg-
ed, l,496.
The increased number OF new cases
reported Monday is accounted for by
the fact that several physicians, whose
names had not appeared on the list
there. The arrest of Dr.. Berge, on a
charge of failing to report three cases,
is believed to have had its effect on
others who were reporting only severe
cases. OF the deaths, only one was up
town. and he was the only native on
the list.
DIR. Brady, the medical inspector Of
the State board, said that many coun-
try physicians are not reporting mild
cases of yellow fever. Z
Among the outside reports are the
following:
Patterson, nine cases, n death.
Lake Providence, three cases, one
death.
Terre Bonne parish, Is cases.
St Charles parish, ten cases.
La Place, st. John, seven new
since last report.
Amelia, eight new cases.
Gulfport, Miss, five new cases.
NE:zzss--S N;@u %-y0 nr- nocoC
V%icksburg, Miss, two new cases.
The situation at Patterson where it
was feared the ignorant Italians con-
templated trouble has developed moth
ing new. No overt act has been com
mitted, and it is believed that danger
is over. Father Widman, the Jesuit
priest went there Sunday n met the
citizens and a number Of leading 1tal-
ians and proposes to make a personal
canvass of the town, to talk to every
Italian, and convince him Of the good
intentions of the health authorities.
A heavy downpour of rain prevented
the m~ass-meeting which it was pro-
posed to hold here today.
There is much interest in the case
of DR.. Philip Berge, the physician
who was arrested late Sunday night
on the charge of failing to report three
cases of yellow fever. He was paroled
by the inspector, but will have to
answer to the charge Monday morn
ing before the second recorder. He
says that he reported the cases by
mail, but the Marine Hospital Service
has no record of them.
There has been a recrudescence at
Tallulah, in Madison parish, not far
from Vicksburg, three cases having
been diagnosed by DR.. Krauss, of the
Marine Hospital Service.
A report from Leeville, under date
of September 1, shows that there have
been 312 cases there so far, and 20
deaths, with 145 cases under treat
ment.

WHEAT YIELD AND EApOkIS.
Strange Reduction in Foreign Ship
ments-Gafn in Home Consumption.


ments-Gain in Home Consumption.
Washington. D. C.-With a Wheat
crop estimated by the Government at
719. OOO,O bushels, compared WIZ
$50, 900, 900 last year, together WIN
bad crop reports from Russia and III
dia. expectations of a reaction from
last years abnormally low exports
seem to have been reasonably Wen
founded. Yet wheat exports are sun
surprisingly light. This week has Deen
the first in almost two months that nas

with the extraordinarily low figures OIL
last year, and even the current gam -
very slight, AS compared with 1he
figures for 1908, the figures have unf
formly fallen to about one-third.
An explanation which at once sus,
eests itself, and which reports trom
the West have in some degree suDstan-
tiated. is that the millers at primary
points are accommodating large stocAs
of wheat in advance; hence the Wneas
is not going forward to seaboard. Dus
this theory is far from adequate. 1Mo
