 Situation the Same.
 Comparatively little change charac- terized the yellow fever situation In New Orleans today, both the new cases and deaths striking the daily average for the past week. No names of prom thence appeared in the list of new cases and they have been singularly absent for some time past. The doc tors believe that the immunity of so many of the best residential districts is due to the fact that those who live in them, being people generally of ed- ucation and intelligence, have taken the precautions which have been rec commended for the public safety and have thereby rendered themselves practically. secure against the attack ks of mosquitoes Many of the homes have been screened almost as perfect ly as is the emergency hospital, The weather today was clear and there is a promise that 1t will continue so, en- abling the authorities to carry on their work with less difficulty.
 A second charge against Dr. Szabary for failing to report a fever case was made today. Mrs. Duffy's home, on St. Koch Avenue, Is said to have had a case for five days under Dr. Szabary's s treatment which had not been made known to the authorities. The marine hospital service is no longer printing the names of the doctors who report cases. the physicians requesting that the system be discontinued, but the service is as insistent as at the be- ginning of the campaign that no case shall go unreported. Public criticism of the reporting of cases that turned out to be other than yellow fever is n ho "a n h. jections filed by the doctors.
 The Public Health Association has now been completely organized and has outlined the character of it's work which is to be pushed by special com mittees.

The aim of the promoters of the associa. ton is announced to be to keep the organization beyond the touch of pn. litical influence
 President F. B. Craighead of TuIan, University returned today from tn, North and and East and visited Dr White at his office.

Dr. Craighead said that whereve he had been acknowledgement wa made of the magnificent fight tha had been made by the federal author ities under the direction of Dr. Whit against the fever and he desired per sonally to present his congratulation to the doctor.

 Refugees in Hospital.
 Among todays arrivals was a fami ly of seven from Rosetta. Miss Feve broke out some time ago at Rosetta and the family decided that in tn emergency New Orleans was about tn safest place in the South to head fol They were not interrupted in com ing here. the local authorities havin placed no quarantine against other in fected points. The family registere at a hotel and their presence ther was reported to Dr. White. None O the members was i'll. but it was con sidered wise in view of the fact tha they had come from an infected poin that they should go to some place c detention for five days and the author ities suggested the emergency hospi tai. The family at first demurred, i the belief that the hospital was a plac of horrors. but upon a personal inves tiRation they found the institution yer exceIlently kept and cheerful that the accepted the invitation and moved i turing the day.
