KELLY TO STUBS.
Claims Boss Buster Leader Tried to
Delay Depository Law.

State Treasurer T. T. Kelly thinks he
has found the weak spot in W. R.
Stubbs, and has dug up the original bill
for a state depository law, which was
introduced in both house and senate as
House Bill 2S9 and Senate Bill AZ This
original bill, Treasurer Kelly claims,
was drawn up by w. r. Stubbs, and
brought to Kelly for mis- inspection. 1t
provided that the law should take effect
in May, 1906. according to the statement
of Mr.. Kelly
Speaker Stubbs asked Kelly if he
would oppose such a bill, and Kelly
claims that he told Stubbs that he.
would favor it's passage.
Afterwards these two bills went to
the committee on banks and banking of
the house, and a new bill was reported,
fixing the date as May, 1905. 1t is to
be supposed, of course, that Mr.. Stubbs
will claim that if Kef1y's copy of the
bill is correct, it was mistake of-the
typewriter in fixing the date as 1906
instead of 1905.
MI. Stubbs says in his letter printed
today that it was Kelly who held out
for the May, 1906 date. So there seems
to b a difference of opinion between
Kelly and Stubbs.
Treasurer Kelly has not yet announc-
ed the dismissal of Charley Cole, who
it was said was slated to follow the
steps of W. F. Ogg. This morning Geo.
Cole, father Of Charley Cole, called up
on Treasurer Kelly and had a session
of some length with him.
The reason Cole is said to be in dam
cause Geo. Cole did not sign Kelly's
new bond. 1t is stated that Mr.. Cole
makes it his policy to sign bonds for no
one under any conditions.

Being Waged Against Yellow
Fever in South.
THE CRISIS is NEAR.

DR.. H. H White of the federal forces,
took charge of the fever situation
shortly before noon today, on final in
structions from Washington A decrease
in the number of new cases and sub
foei over Sunday and up to noon today
in New Orleans is a hopeful indication
that the strenuous work instituted by the
New Orleans authorities on the appear
ance of the first case. July Is, is at
last bringing results. Two deaths, both
Italians, occurred in the emergency hos
pital early in the day and another was
reported from jefferson Parish. across
the river. above New Orleans.
Two suspicious cases have been re-
ported near Bonami, in Calcasieu par
ish and one has since died. The Off
ciaIs of Calcasieu asked that an expert
lie sent at once to investigate the sick
ness but owing to the suspension of
train service in that parish no physl-
cian could be sent and the case was
left in charge of the local authorities.
There is also a suspicious case in st.
Mary's parish.

val brigade has returned to New Or

New York, Aug According to
Brigadier General Arsene Perrilliatt,
chief of ordnance of Louisiana, it will
be five days before New Orleans will
face a crisis in the yellow fever situa-
tion.
Archbishop Chappelle of the diocese
of Louisiana and Havana, who returned
from a confirmation tour of Louisiana
last Saturday, was attacked by the most
acute and virulent type of yellow fever
at his residence at Esplanade street and
st. Claude. His condition is critical and
DR., Felix Leroux, his physician, is in
constant attendance
The news of the archbishep's illness
created profound dismay throughout
the large Catholic French and Italian
population of the city.
The archbishopric is located on the
border OF what is the originally infected
district. 1t is the mecca for the poor
and INDECENT and misera BILE in the for
eign population, and all day long a
stream of these people. is passing
through the place.
Priests who live in the palace with
the archbishop have spent much time
in the infected district. st. Louis ca
thedral, which is in the hotbed of in
fection is frequented in these days more
by the Italians than by any others, and
it is believed that the archbishop con-
tracted the disease there.
1t was announced by the city board
of health last night that the United
States public health and marine hospital
service would assume active charge of
the fever situation here today.

New Orleans, Aug. There is

the way of immediate federal control

mates the total expenses for eradica-

$1SO.OOO to $4,000 for the fever
months, which would carry The case

pected. There is therefore available
enough money to deal with the plans

18th of September without requiring the
expenditure of the maximum figure

months in an epidemic and the com

work that will be done here it is expect

be able TO resume commercial relations

effect of federal control is already evil
