from a Bradstreet assessment on the
citizens of New Orleans, no difficulties
whatever stand in the way of the i'm
mediate Inauguration of federal control
of the fever situation. Dr. White esti-
mated the total expenses for eradica.
ton at 81 500 to $4,000 per day or from
S1S0,000 to $4,000 for four months,
which would carry the campaign into
December by which time frost may
be expected. There is, therefore,
available enough money to go forward
with the federal plans at high pres
sure for a month or six weeks, and
long before that time it is assured by
Mayor Behgman and Chairman Jan.
vier, of the citizens, committee, that
the total of a quarter of million asked
by the government will be in hand.
If complete success crowns the work
of the marine hospital bureau, it is
possible that the fever will be com,
pletely under control by the 18th of
September without requiring the ex
penditure of the maximum figure which
is asked from the city to stamp out the
disease.
August has always been regarded
as one Of the worst months in an epi.
demic and the comparatively small
number of fatalities thus far this
month in comparison with other years,
gives great encouragement to the au.
thorities.
Every authority wanted by the fed
eral bureau is assured. Adequate po-
lice power will be given the marine
hospital surgeons to aid them in their
scientific work. DR.. White has made
an examination of the municipal laws,
including the mosquito ordinance, and
declares they are sufficient for his
purposes. Chairman Janviers, of the
citizens committee will put his force
at the disposal of Dr. White and will
disburse the general fund under the
direction of DR.. White. Engines of the

on the ticket, but his friends after
ward decided to elect him on the Q.

independent republican candidate
was a difficult thing, especially as
very few voters knew how to vote by
machine anyway. Out of about
fifty attempts three voters managed
to write in the proper place the name
of their candidate and the three
votes were as good as a thousand.
Persons friends are urging him to
qualify, and it is said if he will do SC

of a proclamation by the governor clos
ing all the retail spirit shops from 6
o'clock in the evening until 6 O'Clock
in the morning until further notice.
The governor called on all peaceably

BOYS MUST SETTLE.
Twenty-three Arraigned Before the

The record for the local police
court was broken this morning when
tw%enty-three boys appeared to ans
wer to n joint charge of burning the
steps of the former Greek Catholic
church at Broad and Division streets
on election night. They acknowledge
cd it, but eXonorated six of their
number, who took no part in the cell
ebrating. Most of the boys were less
than fifteen years of age.
The case was adjourned until
Friday night and the youngsters were
advised to effect a settlement with
the church authorities in the mean

1t appears that the boys had a bon
fire of barrels and some bright mind
suggested that they get the steps
from the old church and pile them on.
The steps are valued at $25.

Dramatic Climax in Boston
Tragedy Or. Mcleod on
Witness Stand.

BOSTON, Dec. 2.-The jury which
has been hearing the evidence at the
trial of DR.. Percy De Mile Mcleod,
the Back Bay physician who is charged
with being an accessory to the per-
Torrance of an Illegal operation upon
Susanna A. Geary, the dress suit case
| victim, have retired to consider their
verdict. Judge Stevens instructed the
jury ut some length before they re-
tired.
The proceedings furnished Il dramat-
ic climax to an already sensational
case. DR.. Mcleod testified in his own
defense and stated ~emphatically that
he had not dismembered the body of
the chorus girl. He denied that he had
ever had any connection with the Mrs.
DR.. Bishop offices. where the illegal
operation is alleged to have been per
| formed, and swore that he had never
been inside the Winthrop street house,
where the girl died, until summoned to
perform an operation to save Miss
Geary's life.
According to DR.. McLeod's testi-
mony, he was called to the Winthrop
street house by DR.. John III. Pettee,
who a few days ago testified that he
was summoned there by DR.. Mcleod.
DR.. McLeod's testimony was a general
denial of all the charges against him.
He testified that his only connection
with the case was the performing of
an operation known as laparotomy, the
only hope, he claimed, of saving the
woman's life.
While the trial of DR.. Mcleod was in
progress William II. Stanford, II of

Piled upon the floor and tables in the

of shining coin, half dollars that gllnted
in their newness and newly minted
pennies that had the color ana bright
ness of gold.
The number of the coins and the care
less way in which they were distrib-
uted made the boys think they had
stumbled upon the wealth of al nation
or Captain Kidd's famed treasure.
Last night the counterfeiter himself
was arrested as he was entering his
shanty, where, like a modern day al
chemist, he had turned his technical
knowledge to the production of wealth
and had lived the life of a hermit in his
search for the philosophers stone in the
