RAISING OF QUARANTINE.
Ban Lifted from Four Counties of Mis-
 sfssippi.

By an amendment to the original | proclamation issued a few weeks ago l quarantining Alabama against Missis' sippi Governor Jelks yesterday lifted | the ban from four counties of that | State. They are Jones. Greene, Perry and Covington Counties.
 The amendment goes into effect this morning. ThISsf5eaves only seventeen counties of Mfssissippi under Ala | bama's quarantine at present. Less than two weeks ago the quarantine was raised from all of Mississippi ex- cept twenty-one counties.
 The total territory under Alabama 6 quarantine now comprises all Louis jana, Escambia. Santa Rosa and Wal ton counties In Florida and seventeen counties in the Southern part of Mis- sissippi
 The Governors action of yesterday was on recommendation of State Health Officer w. H. Sanders, acting for the Alabama Board of Health. It was thought 10 be practicable at this late day to assume the risk of free communication with the four Missis- sippi counties named as they have not been infected this year and are putting restrictions themselves on points in Mississippi and Louisiana that have yellow fever.
 The risks on every side of Alabama are utCTtdSII4 cbtIy ddy hoW os iApos is approaching and the epidemic in New Orleans and Pensacola appear to be getting under control of the au- thorities thefe. For this reason the rigid quarantine that was kept up in the early part of the season has been greatly relaxed in the Northeastern part of the State.
 Nothing New fin Castleberry.
 Nothing but encouraging news came to Montgomery last night and yester- day from Castleberry. Not a suspi- cious case has been reported since the death of the Johnsons. Even the in termittent fever that attacked the child of Station Agent Dyke at Castleberry has now disappeared and this leaves the town without case of fever of any kind at present.
 Yesterday was the fourth day that it was possible for the mosquitoes that bit the Johnsons in Castleberry to transmit the fever. As not a single case has developed in this time the sit uation has assumed most favorable aspect and already people who fled from the town when the fever was am nounced are returning to their homes.
 pr. Sanders was out of town yes terday and last night and 1t was not possible to get any information about the reported case of yellow fever at Sweetwater, Marengo County. Dr. Sanders went to Mobile yesterday morning to fill his regular faculty en- gagement with the Medical College of inc State. He will hardly return to Montgomery before Saturday
 When the State Health Officer left the city yesterday 1t was hls intention to return through Castleberry Satur day and stop there to get look ove- the conditions there at that time. If he decides 10 make a personal diagno- sis in Sweetwater, however, he may have to alter his plans and reach Mont oomerv later than Saturday. Evident iv he has not satisfied himself that the case in Marengo County diagnosed by Dr. G. F.. Jones as yellow fever, is genuine. Otherwise, he would in all Probability have authorized a quaran- tine of the rest of the State against the town.

FEVER CASE

 ported Since the Death of
 the Johnsons.
REFUGEE FROM PENSACOLA

Selma, Oct. 19--(Special )-Dr. s. c. Gay. Health Officer for Dallas County. has been notified of the death of a man in MarenEo County yesterday from what is believed to have been yellow fever.
 The death occurred at Sweetwater in Marengo County, and the disease was diagnosed as yellow fever by Dr. Jones of that place. The name of the man was not given. 1t Is understood that he was a refugee from Pensacola, who had tramped through the country to escape quarantine.
 When found he was lying in the woods with a high fever. He was car ried to the office of Dr. Jones in Sweet water. who pronounced the man suffer- ing from violent case of yellow fever. In a few hours he expired.
 Besides notification that pr. Gay re- ceived of the case at Sweetwater, reli- able citizens who have been in the city vouch for the correctness of the state- ment of Dr. Jones as to the disease that caused the strangers death. No and the citizens 1f Sweetwater do not think the disease will spread.
 Swetwater is in the central portion of the county and Is an isolated village of few inhabitants. It Is situated be- tween the Mobile branch of the South ern Railway from this city to Mobile and the Linden bra lch of the Louisville and Nashville. Dr. Gay tried to get telephone connection with Dr. Jones at Sweetwater today but failed.
 Castleberry. oct. 19.--(Special. )-The situa tion at Castleberry is unchanged. No new case has been reported.

ON CANAL MATTERS.
Present Attention Is Being Devoted to
 PrelininAry Work.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Secretary Taft today devoted considerable attention to Panama Canal matters. He spent a long time with General Davis. chairman of the Board of Consulting Engineers. early in the day, and In the evening had a conference with Chairman Shonts of the Commission and later saw Will liam Nelson Cromwell.
 Both General Davis and Mir. Shonts have recently beer on the Isthmus and had considerable information to impart to the SC ,retary relating to canal con ditions. The Secretary was informed that preparatory work was being push ed now rather than actual work on the canal, and expressed his approval of that course. as he feels that 1t Is neces- sary to get everything in readiness to make the real work of construction a success.
 No information was given the Secre- tary regarding the position of the con sulting board as to the type of canal that will bs favored in its report.

EARS TURN TO AKRON
INTEREST IN SPEECH OF sECRETA-
 RY TAFT SATURDAY.
since Sensational Divergence of Fora- kcr from RoOseveit's Policy, Dfs- nension Among Republicans
 has Become More Apparent.

Washington, Oct. Is.--(Speciak )--- Akron, ohio, will next Saturday hear the first speech deiiverd by Secretary Taft in the Ohio campaign.
 What policy he will enunciate upon the railway tariff question, especially since the rather sensational divergence of Senator Foraker from President Roosevelts policy Is a subject here of quite interested speculation. Foraker it will be recalled, made as direct issue as possible with the Preident on the regulation of freight rates and on all other railway charges.
 As Secretary Taft Is regarded as the strongest of the Presidents packers on the question and as both he and Senator Foraker are considered presidential timber for the season of 1908. there Is much guessing also as to how far the difference between the two Buckeye statesmen will affect the result of the election as well as the attempted leg islation at the coming session of Con gress
 It is believed by those who know him best that Secretary Taft will speak out no less boldly than did Senator Foraker, and that his speech will tend more than any thing yet has done to reveal the fact that there is serious division among the Republicans everywhere on the railway rate question.
 The Democrats of Ohio, viewing the evidence of dissension among the Re- publicans and being united on the ques- ton. are cheerfully complaisant, assur- ed that they will be the gathers. AL ready the Republicans generally con cede a large reduction of their majority in the State. and even old Figgers" Grosvenor who is now in Washington, Is unusually modest in his calculations. On the whole it needs no prophet to foresee that the Democrats are going to recover q great deal of lost ground in Ohio. which will mean gain of sev era Congressman.
 Secretary Taft at home and President Roosevelt down in Dixie will probably be tuned to the some pitch in what they have to say on the railway rate ques- ton; and the country will know.

of the securities of the Washington Traction and Electric Company, which was formed to take over electric light and street railway properties in Wash ington, D. c. This company was af- rewards reorganized as the Washing ton Railway and Electric Company The Mutual withdrew $2,000.000 of stock at 93 and interest.

 When asked what led the Mutual Life Insurance Company to make this investment, when the bonds had fallen IS points within year, MT. Timson said 1t was probably done to average the Mutual holdings down from 93 to ST Ia. Mir. Hughes asked what ad- vantage there was in that except to show a lower average cost. Timpson said they probably thought the bonds were cheap. Since June last the Mu- tual had sold its holdings of preferred and common stock in the Washington Company. but still held their bonds.
 McCurdy is Recalled.
 President Richard A. McCurdy was then recalled. He said that both he and the Mutual Life Insurance Company had 200 shares each in the Fifth Avenue Trust Company and that the Mutual Life In- surance Company's deposits in 1t were $1 ,o00, 600. Mir. McCurdy handed in the following list of securities, In which both MT. McCurdy and the Mutual Life Insurance Company were interested:
