The Government Will Take
 Control Today
YESTERDAYS RECORD
Under the New Management the New Orleans Authorities Showed No Im- prOvement Except in the Matter of FOCi-Deaths Not Considered.

New Orleans. Aug. 7.-The official re- port of the yellow fever situation up to 6 D. m. is as follows: New cases, 32; total to date. 5G5; deaths, s; total to date, I1S; new sup-foci, 4; total to date, 97
 With the marine hospital service, un- der the authority of President Roose- welt. in complete control. the scientific fight to eradicate yellow fever from New Orleans before frost comes, took on fresh life today, and with ample funds the best available talent and an army of willing workers at his back. Dr. J. H. White. surgeon in charge. hopes for a successful termination of the struggle. During the day Dr. White received formal orders from Surgeon General Wyman. notifying him that the federal government had dec 9ed to as sume the task prepared for it. and inn mediately visited the state and city boards of health. where he cOmmuni- cated the news to Presidents Souchon and Kohnke and arranged for the transfer of the work. Both pledged all the assistance of themselves and the forces under them to Dr. White in his undertaking. Dr. White said the trans fer of details would be gradual, so that there work now in progress. The shifting of authority is expected to be complete to- morrow.
 It was announced that the marine hospital service would take up the re- ceiving and compiling of the daily re- ports as soon as the settlement of de- tails would permit. An impression has prevailed in some quarters outside of New Orleans that all cases occurring were not made public. That impression has been entirely unjust, but in order that there may be perfect confidence throughout the country an accurate statistical statement is made daily. Dr. White says that hereafter these an nouncements shall be made under fed eral authority. In this connection, a statement appealed some time ago in many newspapers throughout the coun- try that although the New Orleans health authorities had announced only a total of 50 deaths. the marine hos pitaI report had put the figure at more than 200. Dr. White, in reply, states that no such statement was ever given out by his department; that no such number of deaths had occurred. and that the figures carried daily by the Associated Press were correct.
 There was a prompt response today to the appeal of Chairman Janvier of the citizens committee for additional subscriptions to the citizens fund, to the end of raising the $250,O desired by the government. Checks poured steadily into the office of the committee. In addition to this appeal, MT. Janvier took steps for state aid. When Gov ernor Blanchard came here for a con ference with Dr. White and the health officials three weeks ago he said that should the emergency warrant it. the state could be depended upon to do it's share toward furnishing the funds nee essary toward prosecuting the fight to a successful finish. Today, MT. Janvier wired the governor saying that the emergency was here and that +Ha states assistance had been pledged to the government to assist in raising the money desired.
 AS the whole state is interested in the present campaign, it is assumed that in from 24 to AS hours the gov ernor will have all the backing he de-
