NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 11.-With
Surgeon White of the Marine Hospital
service. frankly expressing no surprise
at the increase in the number of new
cases of fever, and expecting that for
some time to come there will be large
quota brought to light daily, the peo-
pie of New Orleans have made up their
minds to await in patience the results
of the federal campaign which is now
fairly in swing. The life Of stegmoyia
mosquito has been definitely ascer-
tained but the fever had made so much
headway when 1t was discovered and
1t has prevailed so generally in the low
er sections of the city since then that
there are doubtless many of the insects
which have escaped the disinfecting
crusade launched against them, and
they may be expected to transmit the
disease for some days longer at least.
UP to noon today dozen OF fever
cases had been officially reported and
the fact that none OF these was cases
turned up by the oficial inspectors, but
cases submitted by the doctors them
selves. was again taken as an encour-
aging sign. DR., White himself is much
pleased with the evidence Of improve

blow was struck at the marine hospital
stan today when one OF the men sent
here TO assist in the fight against the
disease was himself stricken. The VIC

Motion to Indorse Chicago Strike

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA,

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE con-
vention this afternoon of the Brother
hood Of Teamsters was the stormiest
in the history Of the union. Physical
violence was several times narrowly
averted. Nothing was accomplished
and the convention was adjourned un-
til tomorrow in order to let the dele
gates cool down. The disorder was the
result of motion made by c. w.
Briggs to indorse the Chicago strike.
AS soon as the motion was made there
was an uproar. Men in all parts of the
hall began shouting and shook their
fists at one another.
For a moment it looked as though
there would be a clash, but President
Shea, by the vigorous use of his gavel,
brought a semblance of order.
President Shea became at once the
target of the delegates. He was ac-
cused Of misconducting the strike and
of incompetency. His friends came to
his rescue and then the delegates
charged others with bad faith. curl"
and "liarl' were among the epithets
exchanged.
John Sheridan of Chicago, seventh
vice president. charged Shea with vio-
lating the constitution in calling the
strike. Mr.. Shea tok the floor and adj
mitted that the Montgomery Ward
strike, which started all the trouble,
was not indorsed by the general execu-
tive board as required by the constitu-
tion. The situation was such, he said,
that he could not wait for the slow
process OF getting Endorsements from
members OF the executive board who
live in different parts Of the country.
Dozens OF other delegates took the
floor and accused one side or the other
Of bad faith. incompetency etc, and
finally President Shea again took the
floor and vigorously defended himself.
An adjournment was taken until to-
morrow when the election OF officers
viii take place.

Goods Must Be Freely Landed
BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.-Article Is
of the Tientsin treaty provides that "at
each of the ports open to commerce
citizens of the United States shall be
permitted to import from abroad and
sell, purchase and export all merchan-
disc Of which the importation or ex-
portation is not prohibited by the laws
Of the empire"
The state department some days ago
directed the attention of Minister
Rockhill to this particular article in
view of the published articles that it
was the intention of those managing
the boycott against American goods to
interfere with the landing Of American
goods and to prevent stevedores from
removing American goods from vessels
in Chinese ports. 1t Is the opinion OF
the state department that any such
act would be In violation of article
is and Minister Rockhill was instructed
to call the attention Of the Chinese
government to these reports and this
treaty with a view of preventing any
interference in the landing of American
goods in China.

WOOSTER, Ohio, Aug. 11.-But for
the prompt action Of attorneys and re-
porters, the Taggart divorce case might
have ended in court room tragedy
this evening.

all day, wept when he detailed the spir-
iting away of his family at Fort Lea
venworth.
Assistant Army Surgeon G. r. Vose,
a nephew of Mrs. Taggart, who had
been leering at witness all day,
laughed outright when Taggart wept.

and started for his tormentor, but re-
porters and attorneys rushed between
them.

named as correspondents Clinton j.
Spencer, a Chicago business man.;
Lieut.. Fortesque, a nephew Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt; Capt. Bash, Col. Miner
and Lieut.. Rither of United States
army.

relations with Lieut. Rither at Fort

wife's conduct with Capt. Bash. She
came home at o'clock in the morning
with Bash and refused to give an ac-
count of herself.
The night of Mrs. Taggart's party he
declares she was under the influence of
wine, and witness had to help her up
stairs to bed. One evening he ordered
Lieut.. Fortesque to leave his house.
He detailed a story of how Fortesque
brought Mrs. Taggart home intoxi-
Gated at 1870 o'clock in the morning.
Mrs. Taggart used up for herself and
her callers so quarts of whisky in 100

Leayenworth, he said:
Ion July l., 1908, I was deceyed to
Col. Miners office ana placed under

OF the hospital and put in a cell, where
I was kept in solitary confinement for
