 NUMBER "A Crescent City'S Report Again Favorable. TWO DEATHS YESTERDAY Figures Most Measuring
 Since July 31.
Success in wiping Out Nests of Jn- lection is Source of Renewed Confidence as to the Ultimate
 Outcome.

New Orleans. La. Sept. 17.-Ofncial report up to o'clock, p. m., Sunday:
 New cases, 24; total cases to date. 2,571; deaths today, ?; total deaths to date, 333; new foci, S; cases under treatment, 323; cases discharged, 1913.
 The Sunday reports are usually light CT than the week day reports. but 1t was not expected that the report would run as low as 1t did. This leads to the hope that the reports next week will be much lighter than they were last week. The heavy report last week is attributed to the fact that every ten of twelve days the marked increase in the number of new cases shows a re- crudescence of fever from foci not originally known. This Is fortunate in that it enables the authorities to trace these cases to the original focus in the locality and by thorough fumi- Eating eradicate the source of infee- tion. The success in wiping out nests of infection in certain localities, after the original focus in that locality has been discovered and properly, treated. has been the source of a renewal of confidence in the ultimate outcome.
 Among the new cases Is Dr. C. M. Shanely of BarataYia. the physician who Is in charge of the district of the upper Barataria, in Jefferson Parish. He reported the existence of the fever
  charge by the State Board of Health. He moved to that territory from North Dakota a few years ago, and owns a small plantation there. His illness will interfere with the work there and another physician will have to be sent there to take charge of the work, De- cause there are still quite number Of cases at Clarke Cheniere. He came to the city Sunday morning, and was taken to the emergency hospital He has only a light case. Two cases were reported from the charity hospital which came from Stardner, La, which is in Tangipahoa Parish. just across the lake from New Orleans. Only four of the new cases today gre apove Ca nal Street. Of the deaths one was 2 negress uptown, and other was in the emergency hospital. Of the six new foci, three of them are up town.
 Passed Assistant Surgeon Corput re- turned from Donaldsonville and Bat on Rouge and says that he traced the Baton Rouge case to infection rom New Orleans. He found no other cases there. He has established a hospital at Port Barrow, just across the bayou from Donaldsonville, and has hopes of eradicating the infection in that place.

 Dr. Charles Chassaignaic, the State Board Physician who is in charge at Tallulah, returned to the city Sunday forenoon to attend to some private bus mess. before taking up his residence in TaIlulah, to remain there until the erad- ication of the infection. He reports having had quite an unpleasant expe- rience in Jackson. Miss, when he tried to transfer from the Vicksburg, Shreve-
 -t and Pacific train to the Illinois
 la WsFak he Chief ol Police looking on, forcibly put hlm hack on the train and compelled him to go on to Meridian. He had permit from pr. Hunter. the Health Officer of Mississippi, but the guard said that was of no value to him.
 The State Board Is in receipt of re- quests from several localities in the State, asking that experts be sent to diagnose suspicious cases of fever, and efforts are being made to comply with them all Some of these come from sections of the State which have here tofore been free of infection.
