YELLOWFEVER CASES
OYER THREE THOUSAND DEATHS
In new ORLEANS.
New Orleans lnstitute-Sister of
Charity Dead-Number of Cases in
City Is Steadily Standardization
Flee From Vicksburg.

New Orleans, Oct. 2.-Yellow fever
report to p. M:
New cases, %; total to date, 1923.
Deaths 3; total to date, 391.
New foci, 4; cases under treatment,
227; discharged 2405.
The Sunday report would have been
the lowest one on record except for
the report of a nest of infection in an
other convent and asylum, totaling six
cases, among the girls in the Mount
Carmel institute asylum in Piety
street. There have been several
cases in the Mount Carmel convent in
st. Cloude street, and as these two
institutions are closely allied it is
very likely that the infection was
transmitted from one to the other. An
other case is reported at the French
asylum in Canal street.
Among the deaths was Sister Mary
Edith of the convent of Perpetual
Alteration.
The total number of cases under
treatment in the city is only 227
which is the best evidence of the fight
against the epidemic.

THE "HASHIsH' HABIT.
Measures Taken by Egypt to Suppress
Traffic.


The Egyptian customs administra-
ton have made some very clever hauls
Of "hashish' during the past few days.
says the Pail Mall Gazette. At Alex
andria over a ton was captured In one
lot and it was valued at nearly f2,5OO.
The restri ctions against "hashish" in
this country are most rigorous. Its
indulgence is forbidden both by the
Mohammedan religion and by law.
Formerly "hashish" was imported only
by way of Alexandra, but owing to
the sharp outlook which was kept the
importers had to seek other means.
1t is now landed on the coast of Tri-
poll and thence conveyed across coun-
try This increases the difficulties of
capture, and so the government is
changing it's tactics and instead Of
trying to stop the importation is en-
deavoring to prevail on the government
of Greece to prohibit the cultivation
of the drug in that country.
AS a new commercial convention is
being drawn up between Greece and
Egypt, the present is an suspicious
moment for insisting on this prohibi-
ton. The Hellenic government de-
murs at having to interdict the cult
walton of "hashish." as this is one Of
the chief resources of the Peloponne-
sus; still as the number of "hashihses"
or hashish smokers is increasing rap
idly in the Piraeus as well, the Greek
authorities Will soon find themselves
forced to take the proposed step in the
interests Of their own subjects.
"Hashish'' is INDUCED in to an enor-
nous extent in Egypt-in Cairo espe-
cially. There are no public dens, as
they have all been cleared out But
many an innOcent-looking private
house forms the cloak behind which
the smoking of this demoralizing prod
uct is carried on in peace and without
fear of interference by the police. This
is one of the reasons why insanity has
| increased to such an alarming extent
! in Egypt AS far as one can see. the
only effect the campaign against
"hashish" has had, is to increase its
cost-it now stands at so francs a
| kilo-but that does not deter the In
veterate smokers, who abound in their
thousands. The drug has such a hold
a fascination for them, that they will
pay any price to obtain it. Some OF
the poorest natives go without meals
for days in order to be able to pur
chase sufficient to send them off to the

DESPERATE AGAIN In TOLLS

Ed Challenger is back in jail. With
Lansing Berst and Joseph Johnson,
the two companions who broke Jall at
Chouteau and released him therefrOm,
he was Saturday night surrounded by
a sheriff's posse on the Teton river
and compelled to surrender.
Challenger and his companions were
found in a dense brush. They were
armed with reyOlyers and a gun
stolen from the jailer's office at the
time OF their escape, but were 50
clearly outnumbered that they made
no defense.
The trio made the mistake of
travelling together and Of stopping for
the night with a herder in his hut on
Bannatyne Bros, ranch. The county
surveyor of Teton county was en-
camped close by and readily recognize
ed the fugitives. He Immediately
rode to Chouteau and notified the
sheriff, and the pursuing posse was
organized and trailed down the des
peradOes with little ditficulty.
Extra effort win be made by both
the authorities and the Great North
ern Railway company to send
Chall enger to the penitentiary for a
long term. He was long a nuisance
to Teton county. After being brought
back from Chicago by railroad detec-
tives and charged with burglary Of
cars he was acquitted on d techni-
cality. He was next charged With
grand larceny, and, being released on
his own enhance, repaid favor OF
| the court by shooting up the toW0 OF
| Dupuyer. He was sentenced to inn
prisonment in the county jail, sawed
out, was spotted in Chester by Chief
of Police Bickle Of Havre and re-
turned to confinement. He must now
answer to a charge of burglary fol
breaking entrance into the jailer's
rooms, to the original charge Of grand
larceny and to two charges of jail
breaking.
His companions will be charged
with having assisted prisoner tc
escape, as they unlocked the cell il
which Challenger was confined.
