governor had given courteous consent to the establishment of a detention camp on the Mississippi side of the state line on the Louisville and Nashville road and will arrange for the admission into Miss issippi points persons from New Orleans who are discharged with health cerun- cates from this camp.
 The question whether or not federal con- trol of the situation might be invited IS still discussed, but unless grayer condl- tions arise it is not regarded as likely that there will be any movement In that direction Some days ago there was a movement among some of the members or the cotton exchange and representatives of other important interests to put the whole matter into the hands of Surgeon General wyman and a petition with that end in view was started, but it was dropped because 1t was not considered that conditions had grown sufficiently acute to justify 1t. There has been some desire expressed that Surgeon General Wyman might come here, and Dr. White said today that he had been of the mind to ask his superior to make the trip, tl' ugh he has taken no action to that end.
 Mayor Behrman today signed the mo- squito ordinance soon as 1t was placed upon his desk. It was later published in the official journal and thus became law. 1t requires that ciSternS snail pc oiled or screened in forty-eight hours by the property-owner or his agent.
 Dr. Beverly Warner. representing the citizens committee, today called atten- ton to the fact that much benefit had been done by the work of the doctors and inspectors, and appealed for some means of a systematic character by which the needy might be looked after. Dr, Warner today visited the emergency hospital and inspected its equipment and the work go- ing on excellently, and expressed the opin- ion that conditions among the sick would be much improved should the families whose members are afflicted would send them to the institution

 Reports of Captain Bostick of the naval reserve and Col. Arsen Porilliat of Gov ernor Blanchard's staff made to his excel leney, confirmed the charges that Louis jana fishermen. boatmen and citizens have been interferred with, and that there has been some obstruction to traffic in Lake Borgne canal, and that the revenue cut ter Winona, which is doing service under the direction of Surgeon Wasdin, has interferred with Louisiana boats. These reports led Governor Blanchard to order Captain Bostick and the mosquito fleet of the oyster commission to the scene. Governor Vardaman, however, anxious to avoid any conflict with the Louisiana authorities, 1t is thought that the Ms sissippi soldiers who have been freely coming across the Louisiana line, will hereafter be required to keep on their side of the border, and thus all further possibility of clashes will be removed
