Invaded Louisiana Soil With Arms.
Governor Riancharsl TelcSraDlls
Governor Nasrdaman That Such Il
State of Affairs Cannot he Tolerated..

Memphis, Tenn, August IA spe-
cial to the Commercial Appeal from
Baton Rouge, La says a clash between
the Mississippi and Louisiana authori.
ties over quarantine regulations is ina
minent. A private dispatch was receiy-

Mississippi soldiers, employed as quar-
antine guards, had invaded Louisiana
soil with arms, and that boats were
p~atrolling the mouth of Rigolets Lake,
Pearl river, off Louisiana coast to pre-
vent Louisiana poats from leaving.
Governor Blanchard te~legraphed
Brigadier General Perralial of his staff
and Captain J. w. Bostwick, of the
states naval militia to investigate.
Governor Blanchard telegraphed Gov
n Vardeman of Mississippi:
Have reliable information that Mis-
sissippi quarantine guards armed,
crossed v e to Louisiana side at Pearl
river. 1 do not believe this was on or
ders, but was the thoughtless conduct
merely of a few. To obviate unfavor-
able comment and friction please give
orders that your guards remain en-
their own side of the line"
Later Governor Blanchard received
the following telegram from President
Souchon of the Louisiana state board
of health:
"A patrol boat of the state of Mis-
sissippi patrolled Lake Borgne and af-
ter prohibiting fiehermen from fishing
in the lake is now guarding the exit
of Lake Borgne canal, preventing any
boat from coming out. This is al
unwarrantable usurpation and invasion
of Louisiana waters and our attorney
advises me to ask you to wire prope-
authorities in Washington whether 10
intervene or to Jake matters in hant
yourself"
Governor Blanchard then telegraph
ed Governor Vardeman, of Mississippi:
Have Information that patrols nave
forbidden fishermen from fishing in
Lake Borgne and is now guarding ext.

from coming out Is this by your or
ders, or of those of health authorities
of your state? No such state OF affairs

from the board of health, together
with the statement that there is not
the slightest cause for alarm. This
was following Immediately by an an
EOuncement from State Health Officer
ed the scientific steps taken are ade-
Guate and that mo occasion whatever
exists for the declaration of a quaraD-
tine against Montgomery"
TIE patient is William Minnihett,

ed Montgomery Monday, July "a, from
kentwood, La. He was taken ill last
Friday night at the Capitola hotel.
Early Saturday morning DR.. Gold
thwaite, the city physician, suspected
the nature Of the fever and had him re-
moved TO the emergency hospital and
his room fumigated.
The statement of the board of health
says:
There will be, we are sure, no
spread of cases from this one. as it
was promptly seen, isolated and every
thing done to prevent infection by mos
guitos. The case is not a severe one
and we trust the citizens of MOntgom-
cry and vicinity will not allow them
selves to become panic-stricken, for We
pledge ourselves to report promptly
any other cases that shall occur. There
are NJ other suspicious cases in Mont
gomery, and we feel that it would be
folly for our people to leave their
homes on account of this one case, for
it has been frequently demonstrated in
Havana hat a patient sick with yell
low fever a be carried through the
streets in screened wagons to be treat
ed at nearby hospitals and no other
cases occur. no cases having developed
there since that city was freed from
the yellow fever years ago..

stating he would do his best to sell It..
How this letter came into the hands Of

would kill him. He Immediately wanted

wife informed him there was no money
he showed her S. gold piece and said he
had found 1t. She still insisted on stay
ing. When she returned from work last

story that several students in the
petrography course, under Professor
Lawson, will be sent TO Stanford, or
will have to go to Stanford because
the petrography class is overcrowded.
president Wheeler directs me TO an
nounce," said Secretary Hallett to-day,
that while ordinary nisstatements re-
garding the university may be ignored,
this particular canard cannot be al
lowed to go uncontradicted. There will
be no students sent to Stanford from
the University of California Many of
the courses here are crowded. When
such crowding occurs arrangements are
made TO remedy the defect. That Is be-
ing done in numerous instances. one Of
which is the petrography course.

denial to prevent the acceptance OF the

Heirs of the Deceased Sue Her TO En-

Esther Fleisher, widow OF the late
Wolf F1eisher, who owned the first
hat and cap factory established in San
Francisco. was made the defendant yes
terday in a suit instituted by Bernard
Fleisher, Rose Bush and Miriam Ap-
pell, heirs at law OF the deceased. to re-
cover $4,000. 1t is alleged by the
plaintiffs that they entered into an
agreement with the defendant on Sep
tember "a. 1904. by the terms of which
they were to receive $4,000 in con-
sideration of the release by them of all
right and title TO any portion Of Wolf
Fleisher's estate.
They assert, however. that the de-
fendant has paid them only S10,500 un-
der the agreement and that there is
now due and unpaid the sum OF SIS, 900,
the final payment of $4,000 provided
form the agreement not falling due for
some months yet 1t is understood that
Mrs. Fleisher's defense will be that she
has been unable to pay the sum sued
for, as her late husbands estate has
been tied up through an action insti-
tuted by Rebecca Fleisher, the so-called
Austrian widow of the deceased, to re-
cover ssS,000 she claims should have
been given her when Fleisher obtained
