New Orleans Wednesdays reports
of the fever situation showed an in
crease in the number of deaths from
Tuesday to IL, with 32 new cases,
but the health authorities confessed
to no alarm over the situation, and
said that more fatalities were to be
looked for, because during the last
three or four days there had been a
sufficient increase in the number of
cases to warrant the expectation of
heavier mortality.
High temperatures, succeeded by
heavy rain and cooler weather, pro-
duced climatic conditions favorable to
fatalities. Most of the deaths were
of Italians and nearly all of them
were either in the emergency hospital
or in the quarter adjacent thereto.
There was no dissent among the
authorities from the view expressed
by health officer Kohnke that condi-
tions we're hopeful There will be no
relaxation of energy in fighting the
fever. With only a few isolated cases
above Canal street it is believed that
once the infection begins to decline
there will be little difficulty in stamp.
ing out the disease. While the fever
spells a serious state of affairs, it is
not believed that there is justification
for the terror which seems to have
spread over the country outside Of
New Orleans.

Neqro Murderer Caught.

New York-Charles Long, the ne
gro murderer of Matthew Cunningham
at Trenton, Is days ago, has been cap
tured at New Market, by Chief of Po-
lice Kiely, detective Mccarthy and
Patrolman Higgins of Plainfield.
Long surrendered without the least
resistance. The policemen found him
on the farm of Henry Van Nuls, where
he was plowlng. They stole up to him
on their hands and knees with drawn
revolvers.
Mccarthy dealt him blow as he
sprang from the woods and when the
man looked up he saw the muzzles OF
three revolvers. Long was manaeled
and put into an automobile, and no
time was lost in getting away before
the farmers learned that Long was a
prisoner.
Chief Kiely says that he will not
claim the $500 reward offered for
Longs capture, but will be satisfied If
the sum is divided among those who
helped in the hunt.

tlenan farming and generosity to

downfall of Mayor William H. Belch-
er of Paterson, who disappeared from
this city Monday, after he had learned
that forgeries involving thousands of

Mayor Belcher's debts to banks, es.
tates for which he acted as counsel
and in funds raised for clients on
mortgages, it Is now believed, will
not be short of 100000. The estimat-
ed value of the real estate owned by
Mayor Belcher is $4,000, but his
equity in the property is not more
than $4,000.
Mayor Belcher was known as a lib
eral contributor to charities and to
friends In hard luck. The first body
to take action against the mayor is
the Silk City Safe Deposit and Trust
company. At recent meeting of the
directors he was deposed as vice
president.

orally reticent when the subject of his
mission was mentioned However, to
a correspondent, who accompanied
him from Cherbourg, Mr.. Witte said:
Almost everywhere in Europe, as
well as in America, not only Russia,
her forces, her resources and her pow
er of resistance are not known, but
the people are even mistaken about
the true results of the war.
THE Russians have had reverses,
but this does not signify that they
have lost the power which was known
to the Muscovite empire before the
war; it does not mean that Russia
has been a negligible power nor that
Japan has acquired by result of the
recent victories such supremacy as
to make the Russian empire consider
them a truly redoubtable enemy"
M. Witte recognizes the good quail
tiles of the Japanese military, naval
and administrative organizations and
does not believe any other European
nation would have been able to resist
-.Ianan as. Russia. has done.-s,.--,.--..-.
According to the Russian plenlpoten-
tiary those who do not know Russia
well oppose to these reasons the spec
ire of the internal conditions of the
empire, imagining all kinds OF cata-
clysms, but even about this they are
mistaken.
M. Witte did not wish to discuss at
this time the events in Russia, affirm
ing, however that they have not the
character nor the gravity attributed
to them, nor can they bring about the
consequences which have been sup
posed partly by those prejudiced
against Russia and partly by those ig-
norant of Russian internal affairs.
M. Witte emphatically denied haV-
ing said that Japan's peace terms
were intolerable. He also denied pos
itively that he had predicted that the
conference would be broken up in
week,

in Jail here recently, are not very

A newspaper reporter sent word tC
the girl asking for a short interview
and especially for a photograph for his
paper. The reply that he received was

There is no question that she Is
thoroughly hardened, and that she, as

realize that silence is golden, as they
have declined to have any extended
conversation bearing upon the events
