WILL NOT Be DROPPED
Captain Boardman, Chief of Detec-
tlves, Is Responsible for This
Statement.

Although Samuel Price Williams and
his wife, the principal witnesses
against DIR. Edward Leon. charged with
performing a criminal operation on the
woman about ten days ago. have disap-
peared from the city, and the efforts of
the police thus far to apprehend them
have proved futile, Captain Boardman
stated this morning that the case
against the accused physician would
not be dropped.
Detective Helan. who Investigated the
case when it was first reported and ar
rested DR.. Leon on a warrant sworn
out by Dr.. Battle, who attended the wo-
man after the operation is said to have
been performed, is still looking for
Williams and his wife. DIR. Leon was
released on $1,000 bond, furnished by his
counsel. He disclaims any knowledge
of the affair.
Major Sylvester was informed by the
authorities at Norfolk, Va. where
Williams said he worked in a dry goods
store. that the young man was not
known there. Inquiry is being made in
several other Virginia cities.

The situation remains unchanged. The
death rate in proportion to the number
of cases is lower, but this is in part
due to the fact that many of additional

be a successful one, but are unwilling

Italians in a Panic.

The panic among the Italian people in
the poorer quarters has increased, and
they may be seen at all times Of the
day and night fleeing to ether parts Of
the city. AS fast as they are discovered
they are forced TO return to the district
from which they came.
The board of health has issued a
statement announcing that from the In
vestigations which have been made 1t is
probable that the disease has been in ex-
istence in the city since May. but that
the delay in it's discovery came from the
fact that it was among an ignorant class
of people, who seldom seek medical at
tention.
The discussion on the subject between
Governor Blanchard, OF Louisiana, and
Governor Vardaman of Mississippi is
becoming warm, and each chief execu-
tive has made many unkind remarks
about the other.
A new compIicati came today when
Superintendent Curran of the New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad an
nounced that two passengers. who had
remained the required length of time In
admission into Mississippi, had been
turned back
II the Mississippi health authorities re-
fuse admission to holders of certificates
of detention issued by the Marine Hos
pftal Service, the Government win aban-
don those camps. and travellers will have
to either stay here or go to points in
the north and east and spend ten DAYS

during all that time I have only been called

IN Washington, where the patient has been
employed Tor years.

Mandy obeyed, pouting, and. her IN
reference having only added fuel to

farmer such a dressing as he had never

that bis son had an objection to hav-
