New Orleans, Aug 14.-Dr. R. B..
Leach, who came here from Minnesota
to try his arsenization theory for the
prevention Of yellow fever, is making
arrangements to have a test independ-
ent Of the doctors. The New Orleans
medical society has declared the use of
arsenic as unsound in theory and I'M
proved in practice, but there is pop
ular feeling here that DR.. Leach. ought
to have an opportunity to make his ex-
periments. In this connection all sorts
of theories are current here concerning
the treatment of yellow fever, and the
city has been flooded with prescriptions
that are guaranteed to be sure cures
In spite of all the appeals that have
been made by the press and the federal
authorities there is still suppression Of
cases. One instance is that Of a daugh-
ter of well-known lawyer. She is
said to have had a typical case and to
have been treated only by nearby
druggist; When discovered by doctor
her condition was hopeless. Yesterday
she died. The consequence is that steps
are. to be taken to compel druggists to
make prompt report of all cases of i'll
ness that come under their observation.
Some friction has existed between
the doctors and the authorities grow
ing out of the resentment on the part
OF the former to, the visit of inspect
orS TO patients whom the doctors have
reported. DR.. White, however, has
taken steps to reno this trouble,
promising that the federal authorities
will Interfere in no way with physi-
clans who make known cases Of i'll
ness in their practice.
With nearly .one-half of August gone
and with total deaths since July -,
one month, of only 154, an average of
five, day the marine hospital service
authorities today began the second
week OF their fight against the yellow
fever here. They have begun the
room to room inspection of the whole
city. That has already been done in
the originally infected area, but it is
now being, done in every ward and it
IS expected to turn up every concealed
case of fever that exists.

HELD TO JURY
IN POISON CASE
Miss Vida Johnson Will Be Tried
for Attempt on Life of Mrs.
LunstrOn.

Owatonna, MIMI, Aug. 14.-Regard-
ing the evidence introduced against her
sufficiently strong to warrant an in
vestigation by the grand jury, Judge
Newsalt Saturday afternoon bound
Miss Vida johnson over to that body,
fixing the bonds at $1,000.
The inquisitorial body will now probe
the mystery surrounding the sensational
finding. of deadly quantities Of paris
green in the well Of John L. johnson,
and the receipt by Mrs. Gertrude Lun-
strom, the widow daughter Of Mr.. John
son, at whom it is alleged both at
tempts to poison were directed, of an
orange containing strychnine in suffi-
cient quantity to kill score of persons.
pointingly weak. Mrs. Julian Johnson,
mother of the defendant, said she saw
Vida little before 10 o'clock, when
she went to bed. There were board
partitions between the bedrooms, Will
da's bed was close to the boards on
one side and her own in a similar posi-
tion on the other side. She saw Vida
between 4 and S O'Clock in the morn
ing when she awoke to get breakfast.
She did not hear her go out or come
in. Vida came to bed just after the
witness.
James Johnson, brother of the de-
PENDANT, testified that the front door
shut very hard and it was all he could
do to close it. He did not rest well
that night, as it was too hot.
He said he disced the road in the
afternoon Immediately after dinner,
having fixed the disc in the morning.
He then started on the road and turned
into the cornfeld to work.
On the redirect examination he tes-
titled that when his sister had returned
from town he had taken a big bundle
out of the buggy, at the time when
Vida brought the paris green home.
The package containing the paris green
was under the cords, and this dropped
to the ground, scattering the paris
green all around.
Edward Erickson of Aurora testified
that James johnson, brother Of the de-
PENDANT, had disced the. road from the
house to the town line last year. IT
was supposedly done to improve the
road. Tuesday night was very dark
night, but it did not rain. He said
Vida johnson was afraid to 20 out
alone at night.

It appears that the man on the pre-

he opened the cage. The animals

HUGE TRADE AS
CHECK TO REVISION
Continued from First Page.

rived: But there is some consolation
even here, for our position as the great
est factor in world commerce makes
sure that any unfavorable circum-
stances which may operate to check our
advance, must inevitably operate pro-
portionatelY in all the world markets
and upon all the trading nations. In
larger sense than ever before, the
prosperity Of one great nation is now
the prosperity Of all. ~.
1t was undoubtedly thoughts such as
those just brought out that prompted
Mckinley to make the speech that he
did at Buffalo, when he said, among
other things, that 'the period Of ex.
clusiveness is past,' and that we could
not hope indefinitely to trade with other
countries, without giving them larger
opportunity to trade with us. The sit
uation here outlined ought to make a
deep impression upon congress, to which
the facts are all known, and create
there a keener sense of duty and re-
sponsibility for the proper considera-
ton of such reciprocity suggestions as
the president will probably lay before
it in the late fall. It will be far easier
to do the proper thing now, when pros
perity is at foodtide, than when the
flood has begun to recede.
