Of age, and the fever is always alarming
in q patient under these conditions. The

in the numberfof cases which began four
or five days ago is beginning to manifest
itself in the death list, which can be ex-.
pected to grow steadily for the next few
days. The number of new cases Sunday }
seemed small in comparison with Sat
urday's record of 105,i but, it is really 10
short. as that number of cases were
turned In by an inspector just after the
hour for closing the report. Among the
cases Sunday, were Louis Cueullu, Jr.,
cashier Of the Peoples bank. Another
case is Maurice Kenny. ex-councilman

Banana Trains Stopped.
The government at Washington has
passed an, order which was transmitted
to Surgeon White here directing him not
to allow any more banana trains to de-
part from New Orleans for Chicago or
any other point. The action was taken
because of the fear that the fever mos
quito might be carried northward in the
cars, and thus spread the fever in the
northern states. ~, VA E, .~.s".':S'
