MAY CANCEL ALL RISKS.
New York Insurance Companies Are
Considering this Move
in Arkansas.

New York. August 5.-For some
time there has been discussion among
the insurance companies which did
business in Arkansas before the pass
age of the antitrust law which fore
ed them from that state. whether it
would not be we'll to cancel all the
Arkansas liabilities they had assum-
ed prior to the enactment of that
law. The committee on laws aud leg.
islation of the national board of un-
derwriters will meet today in the
board rooms. No. 81 Nassau street, to
90 ever the matter Thoroughly and
prepare a report Of its conclusions to
the executive committee.
Should the companies which are
members of the national board con
clude to cancel their Arkansas risks
it would leave property owners in
that state in bad condition. since they
are otherwise practically unprotected
against loss by fire.

that yen do not propose to fumigate

Will you be kind enough to write
me, and give your reasons for not

I wish this information in order
that I may place it in the hands OF
cur merchants with the suggestion to
print the same and distribute it
among their customers throughout
the country. I feel satisfied that your
views upon this question. if properly
nresented to the people of this sec

yircing them that their fears as to it
being possible to transmit yellow fe-

New Orleans. La, July 81. 1905.
DR.. F.. F. Kohnke, President New
Orleans Board of Trade, City: Dear
Sir-Refering to your letter of the
29th. requesting my reasons fer not
considering it necessary to disinfect
freight of any character, have to say
that these reasons fall under several
heads.
I assume that everybody knows
the fact that yellow fever is transmit
ted solely by the mosquito from one
man to another man.
We must therefore consider wheth-
or or not our infected mosquito is like
w to become an inhabitant or pas
senger in freight parcels. The par
ticular mosquito transmitting this
disease is one of the most easily de-
structible of these insects, being kill
ed by a very slight pressure.
In freight parcels of any sort,
MOSQUITO in a box would unques1on'
ably be caught and crushed during
The iostling in transit. Again remem'
Der that freight packages originate IN
warehouses and factories and stores
which places are not the habitat OF
sick people. and the infected mosqui'
TO will therefore not be found in such
places.
It is conceivable fact that mos
quito from sickroom might drift in
TO the street, but the habit OF this
MOSQUITO, in doing so, is to seek the
first clean water to lay it's eggs and
ther die.
It is extremely improbable that she
will take up her abode in place OF

''heads in" emphasized by menac-

The refugees begged for food, but
it was not forthcoming. Many of them
said they had not eaten since leaving
their homes as every town through
which they had passed compelled
them to remain in the coaches.
The sympathies of many of the res
idents of Jonesboro, who remained at
a safe distance from the train were
aroused by the pleas for food, and
several negroes were secured to pass
bread and meat and coffee to the
refugees through the car windows.
The militiamen did not object to
this. but before more than a small
number of the refugees had received
food the train was ordered to proceed.
The local company Of militia, con-
sisting of forty men. maintains

The quarantine here is very rigid,
