YELLOW FEVER SITUATION
Catholic Church Suffers Heavily
in Deaths from the Peril.


New Orleans, Sept. 13.-New
cases, 43; total to date, 2,418..
Deaths, A; total, 1923.
While the fact that there was
again today a large number of
new cases of yellow fever did
not give the authorities serious
concern, the reason for the sud
den jump in cases within the
past four or five days has been
the cause of much speculation
and disappointment on the part
of the public.
The death of Sister Mary Of st.
Celina, at the Carmel asylum to-
day, calls attention to the fact
that the Catholic church has suf-
fered quite severely during the
present sickness.
Sister Mary was the second
religiouse to die and beside them
the church has sustained the loss
of its archbishop and Father
Green, one Of its ablest priests
here.

no legal or binding effect on the
