MINHINNETT IS WELL
HE WILL GO TO ATLANTA WHEN
 RAILROAD PASS COMES.
Only Four Towns Now Quaranttned Against Montgomery and Tnsca- lOOsa's Scare VIII be Over
 On Tuesday.


 Frank Arnold Minhinnett may leave Montgomery today for Atlanta, or ne may remain another day in the city and go tomorrow.
 MT. Minhfnnett is the Louisiana gentleman who introduced yellow fever in Montgomery and gave several scores of people and the entire town of Birm- ingham a dreadful scare. The fact IS, however, that Mir. Minhinnetts going Is not a matter that rests with hlm- self. The city government of Mont gomery which has entertained MT. Minhinnett during his stay in the city and which has paid the expenses of his visit to the oity will give the word for the Louisiana man to leave.
 To be confidential and not to have 1t 20 any further MT. Minhinnett would have left yesterday. but his pass over the Western Railway did not come. The city has asked for pass and 1T 1t had come in yesterday morning Mir. Minhin- nett could have gone to Atlanta. If there is any hitch about 1t he will re- main the guest of the city until to- morrow.
 His leaving Is not a question of MT. Minhinnett's condition. He Is quite well. He could have left day or so ago. The city authorities wanted him | to be quite restored to health and be- ! | when he went away. It Is firmly be- lieved that he has reached that condi- ton and when the formalities have been complied with he will go on to Atlanta
 to visit his relatives in that city. | It has been figured out by those | familiar with the mosquito theory or
 the transmission of yellow fever that
 today is the last day on which the | disease could possibly be transmitted by any mosquito which bit MT. Minhin- nett if there was any mosquito of the 1 stegomyia variety which succeeded In biting him while he had the fever upon | him. It Is therefore time for the com | munities which have quarantined
 against Montgomery to raise the quar- antine. Four towns still have quar- antines against Montgomery. Prattvilie,
 Tuscaloosa. Greenviile and Birmingham.
 These towns which have been so badly | frightened will probably recover their nerves In the next week. A message | was received last night stating that 1 Tuscaloosa would raise its quarantine | Tuesday at noon.
 l Acting Mayor Mcintyre last night. at
 the request of the Montgomery Base
 ball Association. wired the President Of | the Board of Health of Birmingham to
 ask when they proposed to raise the quarantine in that city. The request was made because a telegram from | President Kavanaugh of the Southern
 League intimated that the quarantine
 was interfering with the league l schedule.
 The Acting Mayor shortly afterwards
 received reply from the Board Of
 Health of Birmingham saying that that
 tedy would hold a meeting Monday
 night and at the meeting the quarantine against Montgomery would probably be raised. It vas gathered from the tele- l gram that Birmingham proposed to keep up the quarantine at least one
 day longer than the danger period and i possibly longer.
 l The Acting Mayor yesterday received n telegram from City Health Officer Kennedy of Atlanta denying emphati- | cally that there were any cases of yell | low fever in that city. On the bulletin
 boards of a number of brokers offices | in Southern cities it was published that
 n dozen refugees from New Orleans had
 developed fever in Atlanta The direct
 reply of the Health Officer disposed of the report. .:...s~--#-.
 registering all the passengers coming Into Montgomery had no trouble at all l yesterday. Tho result of the days
 registration showed that the travel Into
 the city was very heavy. It was said
 that nearly 500 people came into Mont gomery during the day. Nearly every
 one of the incoming trains was well
 crowded. The registration showed too,
 that large number of merchants and | traders from the smaller towns around
 Montgomery came in to spend the day | and do some trading. a fact which Is | evidence that what little alarm existed
 has passed away
 The city authorities yesterday got | their suburban quarantine to working.
 That is tho officers who were to look
 out for the places where local pas
 senger and freight trains stop. got to
 work All t\a railroad yards. the rail
 road cuts and the station at Highland Park are being worked by the quar- antine officers of the city of Montgom- cry. @*z+ l And today Minhinnett goes and the
 yellow fever incident of 1905 is ended.
