TO The
SEA COAST ECHO.
NOT MILITARY, BUT MEDICAL
MEN WANTED.

New York, August 3.-The Sun says:
The appeal of Governor Blanchard OF
Louisiana to the Secretary of the Treas
ury to intervene in the quarantine war
and order the release of vessels captur-
ed by the Mississippi patrol fleet brings
to the attention of the Federal govern
ment deplarable condition of affairs
in the yellow fever zone. Two Southern
Governors are wrangling over the old
doctrine of State rights at time when
they should be deyoting all their ener-
gies with an ugly epidemic, and present.
lv third will take a hand in the i'll
timed strife, for the swash = buckling
Governor of Arkansas, Jefferson Davis,
has directed General Haynes of the Ma
tfonal Guark to use troops to enforce
the State quarantine against infected
towns in Louisiana.
1t is to be regretted that the lessons OF
the medical experiments made in Hava-
ma by American army surgeons have
been lost to the authorities in Louisiana
and the adjoining States. The common
sense quarantine broke down at first
test, and the shotgun seems to have
crowded out the kerosene can: The fe-
yer has spread, as was to have been ex-
pected, in spite of restrictions, and there
is a state of civil war on the borders,
when medical and not military men
should be in complete charge. The pa
troll fleet of Governor Vardaman has &C
tually fired upon Louisiana vessels en-
tering disputed waters, and if the quar-
antine war goes on there may be more
victims of bullets than OF fever. The
Federal government is. OF course. re-
Iuctant to intervene in matter OF local
police authority, but when the trouble
extends to waters over which it is sup
posed to have jurisdiction 1t should as
sumo control and end the unseemly
strife. Moreover, it will become the
Federal governments duty to put the
Marine Hospital servide in charge OF
sanitary affairs in the Gulf States II
things continue to go from bad to worse.
In New Orleans such action would be
generally approved.

ATReeious MURDER
Night Watchman Found FI0stlng In
River ar New Uriesns. 80

Early Wednesday the body nf Igna-
tus Fletzinger, night waschman en-
ployed by the Boylan agency, detailed
on duty at the Alcus boz factory at
Water and Napoleon avenue, New Or
leans, was found floating IN the river,
bearing wounds that pointed to one OF
the most cold -blooded atrocities ever
recorded in this community. Robbery
was the motive of the crime and was
evidently committed by two or more
men. One of the asssassins used a
heavy oak stick and struck the watch
man blow on the head, fracturing the
skull. The other used razor or some
other keen instrument, as the left index
finger was nearly severed by it. The
only clew to the crime left by the as
sassins was the bloody stick With which
the deed was committed. "A pool of
blood in the factory showed where the
crime was committed. The body was
placed on a truck and wheeled to the
river, about one hundred feet away, and
then thrown down a vault into the
murky waters below. Fletzinger is said
to have had ahc-t $50 on his person be-
fore Leaf aome. The money and
pocke look were missing, also a cheap
watch and chain.
A reward of $3.50 has been offered by
the Alcus Box Company and an addi-
tional S15O has been offered by the Boy
Ian agency for any information leading
to the apprehension OF the guilty par

FEDERAL CIRCULAR ISSUED.
Post Office Department to Handle
$4,000 Copies.

Washington, August 3. - The public
health and Marine Hospital service has
issued circular on the prevention OF
the yellow fever. The directions given
look to the suppression of the mosquito
as the only means of preventing its
spread.
"No mosquitoes, no yellow fever" is
the motto announced in big black let
ters at the top of the circular.
The document continues as fellows:
"The infection of yellow fever is car
ried by mosquitoes, and by no other
means is the infection spread.
"Persons take the disease by being
bitten by mosquitoes that have already
bitten yellow fever patient during the
first three days of his attack. These
first three days therefore are the most
important for preventing the access OF
mosquitoes to fever patient.
"It is often difficult to decide during
the first three days whether patient
has yellow fever; hence the necessity in
threatened communities of placing a
mosquito bar Immediately around every
patient who has fever of any kind, and
for three days at least"
The necessity of drainage and screen
ing is dwelt upon with much emphasis.
The Postoffice Department is sending
Il, 900 copies of these circulars to post
Offices in the following States:
Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Ten
nesseee, Alabama, Florida and Arkan-
sas. The circulars are sent in bundles
of fifteen or twenty-five, for distribu
ton in the various towns by the local
boards of health. They will be posted
in conspicuous places.

A PHYSICIANS MISTAKE.

Gulfport News:
A very unfortunate affair occurred
in this city one day last week, which,
had it not been nipped In the bud by
our vigilant mayor, would have likely
ruined Gulfport. 1t was nothing more
than the fact that physician in North
Gulfport came to the mayor and re-
ported that he had been treating case
of yellow fever in that part OF the city
and that the mayor should report the
same to the State Board of Health. The
mayor suspicioned that the physician
was little off in his statement and told
him he would make an investigation.
He did so, and at once it was diseov-
cred that there was no case, no sign OF
case, no suspicion case, and further
more the said physician never saw a
case of fever. He thereupon drew up a
document to this effect and had the ply
sician sign it, and the document is now
in the hands of the mayor. 1t may have
been that this physician did not fully
realize the damage this report would
have done Gulfport had it gone out to
the world as he intended it should. He
may have believed it was fever. and he
may have believed that he was only do
ing his duty by reporting 1t to the
mayor. All this may have been his
conclusion, but we would advise him
to never travel hereafter without taking
some one along with him to tell him te
get out OF a shower Of rain. We do not
| believe he intended it for malicious
report, for he could not have had any
object for that, but that he hastily drew
on his Imagination and made mistake
that he will regret the balance OF hi:
| life.

The Biloxi city council met Tuesday
night with Mayor Bradford presiding
and Councilmen Swetman, Rosell, Bal.
thrope, Baton, Glennan, Redding ane
Buckingham around the table.
The tax collectors report shows
81, ,6A.84 for privilege taxes collected tc
date.
The marshal's report showed 45 ar
rests for the month of July; fines i'm
posed, Sl95; collected, sl47.25.
A resolution was adopted declaring
the councils intention OF issuing bonds
to the amount of $4,000 for the purpose
Of erecting pumping station and other
additions to the city waterworks system.
The resignation OF City Attorney
Maybin was read and accepted. Mr..
Maybin gave as his reason for resigning
the fact that his removal to Gulfport
and the pressure of other duties made it
impossible for him to give the city's
business the attention it deserves.
The deed was read giving the city
Benachi Avenue, a street forty five feet
wide, between Howard avenue and West
Beach street. The donors, Messrs. Ken
nedy and Benachi, reserved riparian
rights on the front and also stipulate
that none OF the magnificent trees with
which the avenue is lined on both sides
shall be injured or destroyed. There
was some objection to the clause about
the trees, though why a councilman
would wish to destroy one of those trees
must remain mystery. There was no
consideration mentioned in the deed
and it was referred back that this error
might be corrected.
The deed to a lot for the negro public
school was accepted.
The damages awarded by the courts
in the Crawford case for the cutting of
four trees was ordered paid. The total
amount to Miss Louise Crawford will
be Sf76.86. The costs will be $50 or
91C, OF more, DcS1QeS.

Barber was elected city attorney by a
rising vote. The salary was fixed at
$500 per year. Those voting for Mr..
Barber were Messrs. Resell, Baton,
Buckingham, Balthrope and Edwards.
Those voting no: Swetman, Redding
and Glennan.
Joseph Moran, Jr., Smith and Baton
were nominated for bridgekeeper to take
the place of Mr.. Price, resigned. On
taking a secret ballot Mr.. Baton was
elected, the mayor voting to decide a
tie. The bridgekeeper formerly ap-
pointed his own assistant.
The city attorney was ordered to draw
up an ordinance providing for two
bridgekeepers, one to act as check
against the other. Salary OF both COM
bined, s75.
Mr.. Edwards made a motion that an
ordinance be drawn limiting the speed
of automobiles to 10 miles an hour. MIR.
Buckingham thought 6 miles an hour
fast enough.
The bridge committee was ordered to
expend $25 in painting the bridge.
Bills for July were allowed.
Mr.. Redding was instructed to finish
the work Of draining the primary schoo
ground at cost not exceeding $50.

PRESIDENTS PROMPT REPLY.

Washington, August A. = President
Roosevelt tonight forwarded to Sur
geon General Wyman, of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service, a
telegram from Governor Blanchard, OF
Louisiana, requesting that the United
States Government take control of the
yellow fever situation in New Orleans.
The President directed the Surgeon
General to take every step in his power
to meet the situation in New Orleans
and to notify him what further action is
advisable and possible for the Federal
authorities to take.
After quoting Governor Blanchard's
telegram, President Roosevelt said:
"Please take every step in your power
to meet the situation at New Orleans
and comply with the request OF the
Governor and authorities, and notify
me what further action is advisable and
possible for the Federal authorities to
take. Would like full report from you
as to what should be done. Please con-
fer with the Surgeons General OF Army
and Navy, If, in your Judgment, this is
wise.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
General Wyman has acknowledged
the Presidents telegram and will make
report to him tomorrow.

of all cases of yellow fever and all sus-
picious cases.

of all cases of yellow fever and all sus-
| picious cases.
"Destroy, by thorough fumigation,
all mosquitoes that may have become
infected by biting yellow fever cases,
YELLOW FEVER MOSQUITOES.
This insect prefers to breed in water
| in rain water barrels, cisterns, tubs,
cans, bottles, or any receptacle contain
| ing water. This does not necessarily
have to be rain water.
"City or State laws should be in force
during the breeding season, making it
penalty for any one to be found har-
boring laryae. commonly called wrigg-
lers or wiggle tails, around their prem
ises. No water should be allowed to
stand in any receptacle, unless it is
covered, so that no mosquito can enter.
The sanitary inspectors should receive
special instructions to see that the laws
are complied with. They should be
provided with petroleum distributing
cans. to pour oil on all uncovered, still
or slowly moving water that they may
find. Generally use two teaspoonfuls
to the barrel, or one ounce to each fif-
teen square feet of water. Rainwater
barrels and cisterns should be abolished
by furnishing cheap water supply.
However, in localities where receptacles
for water are absolutely necessary,
luake it compulsory that they be mos
or1ito-proof. A strong, tight-ftting lid
can be made, having small space in
the center about six inches square.
This space is to be covered with fine
wire gauze to prevent mosquitoes from
entering, and still allow enough venti-
latlon for the water. Surface drainage
should be abolished wherever possible.
bitches and drains should be cleaned
occasionally and thoroughly flushed.
Pools or ponds that can not be
drained should be filled in with sand
or other material, or stocked with fish,
or treated once week with petroleum.

Medical Assn, July 8, 1905.

GOVERNMENT
AID CALLED.

The fever situation at New Orleans
has remained about the same all week
with little mortality, but the spread has
been steady. Last night The Echo re.
ceived wire stating that the authorities
of the State and city had concluded to
invoke the aid of the Government.
This would indicate good news-that
the local effort to cope with the fever
will receive wider scope and, like in
Havana, Brunswick, Ga, and the cpl
demic at the National Soldiers Home
Hampton, Va, prove successful.
The following messages between the
Governor of Louisiana and the Presi-
dent of the United States are self-ex-
planatory, and will be reao with inter-

The following advice from DR.. Beverly
Warner, rector of the Episcopal church
in New Orleans, is well worth adopting.
for there is no need of taking the matter
In any but a philosophical way: "Weal
flower In our button hole and smile
upon our face. We can do this; we viii
do this, figuratively, if not actually. Al
any rate, we can wear the smile"

Secretary Hunter of the State Board
of Health is of the opinion, according
to Jackson special to the Vicksburg

in hand, and is very hopeful that the
men who are in charge will be success
full in their efforts to prevent spread
over the country.

1t is now in order to predict the first
frost. Jackson takes the lead, accord
ing to the Clarion Ledger: "Mr. r. L.
Saunders predicts that we will have
frost on the I'd day of October. He
forms his opinion by an old weather
sign that he considers infallible-a frost
on the sixtieth day after the first fog in
August. There was quite fog this

ders says there will be frost sixty days

County Prosecutor in an Opinion De-
cides That Travelling Bills to Meet
ings of County Commissioners Is Not
a Legitimate Charge and Cannot
Be Paid By County Under the Law

Prosecuting Attorney Barnhart has
prepared his opinion on the question
of expenses incurred by the county
commissioners, in re particularly the
case of Commissioner Connolly, who
has claimed individual expenses while
going to and fro between his home at
Waverly and the commissioners Of
fees in the courthouse.
1t will be remembered that to Off
set Commissioner Connolly's charges
of graft in the purchase of county
supplies, Commissioners Dean and
Collins held up their associates ex-
pense account and developed the fact
that he was travelling on a pass and
charging up railroad fare as well as
the price of his meals and hotel costs.
The prosecuting attorney decides
that individual expense" is not to
be included under the law providing
for expenses and sets forth his opin-
lon in the following:
