 New Orleans, Oct. 20.-Hope that the cold wave prediction and frost warnings O. the weather bureau would be realized and that frost would come over a large portion of Louisiana and Mississippi, bringing an end to auaran- tines. was the dominant factor in com sideI atior of the yellow fever situa- ton tocay. .v
 The weather map showed the most pronounced wintery conditions this season between the Rocky Mountain plateau and the central valleys. with a tumble of the mercury in Oklahoma, the Texas Pan Handle. Arkansas and North Louisiana, and through Missis- sippi. From Jackson. Miss. came re- ports of the outlook of a killing frost over a large section of that State which it was intimated would end the re:gr of quarantine.
 Each day for the past ,en has brought news of one or more towns or parishes in Louisiana which have re- solved to remove restrictions and the fact that the fever in New Orleans has reached such low ebb Is counted on to bring about collapse of the entire quarantine era with the next snap of really cold weather.
 There is a strong demand in South Mississippi for the removal of all quar- sntines. though that section is not likely to get frost much earlier than New Orleans. Gulfport Is anxious for the removal of all restrictions, be1iev- ing that all real danger of a spread of the disease is past. At Gulfport the sickness Is of the same mild type as that which is prevailing at New Or leans. All along the Gulf Coast there is similar sentiment. business having beel crippled as & result of the quar- antines and the towns now being anx- ious to recoup their losses.
 In New Orleans the improvement in the situation continued today with a remarkably low list of cases. For been daily either insignificant or blank altogether and the conviction Is growing that November will mark the total extinction of all cases.
 Three children, all attendants at La Salle School. in the upper section of the city, were reported .ll with fever yesterday. One of the cases was of an Italian child and said to be yellow fev,r. The other two were pronoune ed to be mild form of malaria The Italian child was probably infected through visiting at some home where fever prevailed. When the facts were reported to Dr. White. he advised that as ms tier of precauption that the school should be disinfected and closed until Monday.
 One case out of the ordinary with an element O. humor attaching to it ap- peared ir yesterdays records. At the beginning of the fever St. Charles Avenue family. in terror of the di tease. left the city, putting the home in charge of a caretaker. The family stayed away until frost vas reported over a large section of Louisiana and it seemed from the daily reports going out of New Orleans that the danger was practically at an end. Thursday night they returned. When they reached their home they were unable to wake anybody. They finally broke in- to an outhouse. where the caretaker had his sleeping apartments. md found the man unconscious with yellow fever The caretaker was removed to the hos- pital and the premises thoroughly fumi- gated.
 Business continues to improve ana there Is marked activity on the streets. It Is evident that the Forthcoming visit of the President is causing many people to cut short their vacations inst as 1t Is operating to reopen commuuica- tion between New Orleans and other parts of the State Interest is aroused In the descriptions that are printed of the residents entertainment as he travels to his journey's-end and there ia manifest a disposition to make his receptior here in every respect tbe climax of his trip
