KILLED THE BEARS
The Story Is True Ths PeIts Are Evi-
dence

Glenwood Springs, Colo. April
26.-Secretary Loeb left here to-
day to pay his second visit to Presi-
dent Roosevelt at his camp in the
bear country of the Rockies. He
goes to Newcastle, and from there
will ride to the camp, a distance of
about sixteen or eighteen miles.
The secretary takes with him a
number of documents for the presi-
dents signature, daily papers,
plans for the return trip and con-
gratulations which have been tele-
graphed here concerning the sue
cess of the hunt. Mr.. Loeb expects
to come back tomorrow.
Local hunters say the luck of
the party is unprecedented, con-
sidering the season weather and
the character of country where the
president is located.
When the story reached here
that three bears had been killed
yesterday and two the day before
no credence was given it. Not un-
til Courier Chapman arrived would
they give credence to the story,
and even then they were better sat
isfied when they saw the belts that
Chapman left to be mounted by a
local taxidermist. 1t has now
been settled definitely that the
president will not 60 to Keystone.
The camp may be moved few
miles further south, as the present
grounds are hunted out. but the
party will not stray far from the
west Divide creek.

WILL MAKE A TEST CASE
Movement To Institute Habeas Carpus
Proceedings In Liquar Cases

Muskogee, l. T. April 20
Since the supreme court decision
that an Indian allottee who has
been made citizen was subject to
state and territory police regul-
ations instead of federal there have
been many surmises to the effect
that decision would have in Indian
Territory on Indian allottees. 1t
will have none. There is no state
or territorial government here to
supercede the federal police regu-
lations and the same old law apli-
es. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, there are some lawyers who
want to make a test and get a rec
ord on it. They propose to take
up a case or a number of them,
similar to the Kar sas case, were
Indians have been sold liquor and
the person who sold it to them is in
Jail. An attempt will be made to
get those parties out on writ OF
habeas corpus. In Oklahoma the
same thing is happening. There
are a lot Of persons in prison from
that territory who were con-
victed of selling liquor to Indians.
One attorney is punching number
of these cases and says he will be-
gin proceedings next week to get
them out of prison.

 Hamburg. Septembe= 1.-The authorities declare there are no new cases of chol- era In Hamburg, and that they believe the further spread of the disease IS im- possible Thrty-one Russian emigrants who arrived here with the Russian who died of the disease August 29 and who was bound for the United States, as well as others who were discharged from the Hamburg-American liner Moltke, have been detained on board the companys steamer Bulgaria, anchored in mid-stream in the Elbe off Brunshausen for four days without the disease breaking out among them. They have, however, been subjected to thorough Immigration and all their baggage has been disinfected. These emigrants have been examined daily by the company's doctors, and if tomorrow passes without symptoms of the disease the Bulgaria will said for the United States Wednesday or Thursday
 No Cholera in Bulgaria.
 pr. Otto Ecker, a director of the Ham, burg-American line said to the Associated Press today that he was confident there was no cholera among the passengers on board the Bulgaria, as otherwise the company would not despatch the ship because of the danger of having to bring back a thousand emigrants at It's ex- pense He said
 "It is to the interest of the company to take no risk of shipping the disease to America. A soon as we discovered the case among the Russian emigrant, we immediately wired all our agents to re- fuse further bookings of emigrants. This order will remain in force until we are satisfied that the danger has been passed Since our action was taken the government has instituted strict quar- antine along the entire Russian frontier. The cholera in West Russia is worse than it has been for years and some sporadic cases got across the frontier but they have been confined mostly to the river districts where they can be thoroughly controlled"

Precautions RedoubIed in Atlanta.

Atlanta, September 4.-J. c. Caruthers, who arrived from Pensacola last Friday and who was removed to the detention hospital with well-developed case of yell low fever, was reported today to be im- proving satisfactorily. No other arrivals with fever have been reported, and with the precautions that have been redoubled since Carwhers arrived, no more are ex- pected. The quarantine against Atlanta, which was announced by several cities, has been removed in all but one or two instances. Dr. Wertenbaker, the represen- tative here of the marine hospital service, will resume the issue of certificates to- morrow to those who have been in the city ten days, and these will be accepted by nearly every state and locality, Texas and Arkansas alone of the southern states not having replied to the inquiries on the matter.
 The promised issue between the city. county and state board officials has not materialized. and since the refusal of At lanta to quarantine against infected points. it does not appear likely that an attempt will be made by the state board to override this decision,

QUARANTINE QUIET
 SAYS DR. SANDERS
SYSTEM IS IMPROVING EVERY DAY AND IS VERY EFFECTIVE, ACCORDING TO STATE HEALTH OFFICER.

Dr. w. H. Sanders, president of the state board of health arrived in Bir- mingham last night from Montgomery and will spend a portion of today in the city.
 The state health officer seemed very much pleased with the general manner in which the quarantine is being conducted over the state. and says that the system is becoming more and more effective ey- cry day. He said;
 T do not see why the quarantine sys- tenn should not be effective now, as 1t is getting better every day. So far as l know there are no hitches in the quar- antine service anywhere over the state, and the reports l hear are very encour- aging.
 We will not quarantine against Att lanta. l do not see any use in such a quarantine. That is merely an imported case in Atlanta and I do not think that 1t will spread
 Dr. Sellers, the Alabama quarantine supervisor sationed in Meridian. was in the city yesterday also. He came to Bir- mingham to have a conference with w. Barnes Morgan, supervisor in Birmng- ham, and last night he returned to Meridian. He had a few minutes confer ence with Dr. Sanders before leaving

Steamship Company Notified.

Bremen, September 1.-The North Ger man Lloyd Steamship company has re- ceived the following message from the American consul. Henry w. Driedrich:
 lowing to the number of sporadic cases of cholera occurring at Hamburg and va- rious other places in eastern parts of Germany that originated, according to common report, in Russia, 1t will be necessary to exercise the greatest possible care in inspecting Russian emigrants passing through Bremen on their way to the United States. All passengers from Russia will therefore have to be de- tained at this port before embarking for at least six days as under the quaran- tine laws and regulations of the United States five days is considered to be the peric' 'lhauon or cholera
 The consurs letter after referring to baggage disinfection urges the company to use every precauton to prevent the disease from reaching the United States through one of the North Germany Lloyd company's vessels.

 Many View Labor Day Parade.
 The hopefulness of the situation among the public at large was manifested in the large crowds which viewed the labor parade today. There were showers early in the day. but the skies cleared and the celebration was uninterrupted. There was no evidence in the throngs on the streets that New Orleans was just passing through a serious crisis. The parade was picturesque with the different unions garbed according to their craft and with floats to represent the varied industries. An immense picnic followed the parade Much of the enthusiasm was due to the fact that the situation Is now believed to be well in hand.
 Hereafter no patients will be sent to the old hospital, and those there now and able to be moved will be taken to the new.
 The announcement that Mobile had raised the quarantine against Atlanta and that Mississippi would impose none gave satisfaction here. Numbers of New Orleans people have relatives in Mobile or along the gulf coast, and they have been undergoing detention at Atlanta in order to reach these points. Quarantine against Atlanta would have stopped them from doing so in the future.
 Arrangements have been made to pro- vide Assistant Surgeon Corput who has been assigned to the work of touring nearby parishes, with railroad automo- bile. Such a convenience has become ab- solutely necessary in order that the ser vice here may be kept in touch with the conditions existing on the plantations above the city where fever has appeared.
