Citizens are being organ ized in wards, and these ward clubs will form precinct clubs and house to house canvass will be made to as- sure the screening of every cistern and the oiling of every cesspool and water pond.
 The business men have provided the funds for this work, and as the people are now aroused to the necessity of action, there will be no let-up. Yield ing to the sentiment of the community the state board of health on Monday adopted new regulations for the fruit ships, providing that they should re- main six days at sea between the last port and New Orleans, and requiring Immigration at port of departure and Immigration after the discharge of the cargo
 Yesterday the steamship Anslem of the United Fruit company was allowed to come up after being at sea four and one-half days and, according to the ships papers, she stayed at the quar- antine station exactly forty minutes, during which time her crew of Al men were examined and passed. This aroused the people to action.
 In view of the many quarantine com : plications which have arisen, Dr. Sou cllnoa has called a. conference for next Sunday of the health officers of Texas, Mississippi, and Alababn1a, to discuss quarantine regulations and devise system by which travellers can be admitted with certificates of the marne hospital service. Surgeon White who is in charge of al 1the gov- Ix,;H soSN work of placing the detention camps has been finished, and supplies are now being sent to them. The infec- ton in the original center seems to be dying out, as fewer cases are re- ported from there, indicating that modern methods have been effective.
 The work now is to find the new centers and treat them in the same manner. Physicians now are report ing all cases of fever and, wherever there is the slightest suspicion rigid sanitary rules are applied, with the result that up. to now there has been no spread of any case from any of the new centers. Those which are devel- oping are all traceable directly to the original cases in the Italian quarter.
 The emergency hospital was opened to-day and patients were removed to it in a screened ambulance.
