Poison Ends His Attack.

Ripon, Wis, Aug. 2.-After taking
a dose of strychnine, John Detz, a
farmer near this city, made an as
sault upon his wife with fists and
boots and might have beaten her to
death had not the poison acted too
quickly, it is alleged. AS he fell to
the floor in agony, his wife, bone in
whose leg he had broken, dragged
herself to the door and called farm
hand, who jumped upon a horse and
galloped for a doctor. The physl-
clan arrived barely in time to save
Detz's life. Detz is in charge OF
friends, who say he was attacked
by temporary insanity.

Tracy, a Chicago travelling man, is in
the detention camp outside corporate
limits suffering from yellow fever.
There are no other cases in the deten-
ton camp nor any case in the city.
Tie infection has been traced directly
to New Orleans, although Tracy spent
but a few hours there.
There are many sections OF the
state,' he continued, ito which per-
sons from the south are perfectly
welcome. In an interview at Cairo,
merely said that neither Cairo nor
any other city in the southern portion
Of the state should be a place OF con-
centrati0n of large numbers OF per-
sons from the southern states. A
train inspection service at Cairo will
be begun at once, but there is no in
tention at this time to institute
quarantine or to impose unnecessary
hardships upon the travelling public,
who travel with fair consideration for
the health and safety Of the state at
large. To be sure these persons
who seem to bear danger to the peo-
pie of the state will be denie.l admis-
sion TO Illinois, but that Illinois will
deny admission to all persons from
the south is an idea which [ had not
intended and do not intend 20 gain
general circulation"

BOW TO RULES OF EMPLOYERS,
DISCARD UNION BUTTON.
NEW REIGN OF OPEN SHOP
Police Guard Removed and All Officers
TO Be Gradually Taken Off the
Wagons Of Peace
issued by Employers Association
Ends the Struggle.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Proclamation OF
peace issued by members OF the En-
ployers' association, who have been at
war with the transfers union for the
last four months, was followed yester-
day by a restoration of normal busl-
ness conditions for many firms. Lum-
Der dealers and several other concerns
dispensed with the police protection
and reinstated union drivers. Other
firms, including the State street stores
and Wholesale grocery houses, rehired
only a small proportion of their former
drivers. In all cases teamsters return
ing to work after their long strike
pledged themselves to obey all orders
given by employers.
Union Buttons Taken Off.
The most conspicuous results of the
defeat of the strikers were seen as
follows:
Union transfers drove in the streets
without displaying buttons of their
labor union.
Rules of the drivers organization
against working under police protec-
ton were ignored.
Union teamsters worked peacefully
under Injunction writs made to re-
strain them as sluggers.
1t was the establishment OF the
.open shop" in the teaning industry
in Chicago. The union button once
seen Gu the box Of nearly every wagon
has been displaced Of 1000 teamsters
who walked out last April hardly 1900
were back in their former positions
Yesterday. Two hundred strike de-
serters at work are looked upon as
non-union men now Other strikers,
numbering perhaps 1000, nave Sc
cured work for firms other than those
against which they struck.
Police Guards Taken Off.
Assistant Chief Schuettler estimated
that by this morning 1,400 policemen,
who have been ON strike duty, will
have been restored to regular depart
mental work or else discharged.
The number of men on wagons
will not exceed 500 to 1,000,'' he SAID.
There has been little violence OF late
and we have Deen laying off tho new
men taken on for strike service. They
will go at the rate OF 100 day until
normal conditions are restored.
Lift Ban on Strikers.
The Employers association follow
ing the determination of the Lumber
mems association to reinstate its union
tealnsters in body, decided to lift
the ban placed On all strikers a week
age. The action was taken despite
the fact that the coal teamsters' local
had ignored the employers threat not
to rchire any of the strikers till all
should vote to call the strike off. A
BOYCOTT against five big coal com
panies is still ON.
Estimates of the number OF men
reinstated, compared with the num-
Der who struck:

New Orleans, Aug. Yesterday
witnessed an increase in the number
of deaths from yellow fever, fact
that was not unexpected IN view OF
the high temperature that has pre-
vailed the past two days. There was,
however, the usual large p1eponder-
ance OF Italian names in the list, both
of new cases and deaths, which have
characterized the reports since the
fever was first officially announced as
existent here.
In spite of the increase of mortality,
the health authorities exhibited no
concern over the situation, contending
that with the accumulation Of cases
there must be an expected increase in
the fatalities TO maintain the average
death rate of the fever.
Business interests continue to exert
every effort to secure notifications OF
the quarantine regulations, which
have had the effect of bottling up the
city commercially. With that object
in view, President Souchon OF the
state board of health yesterday issued
a proclamation on behalf OF the state
board to all parishes and municipal
health officers. He announces that he
has accepted and recommends the &C
ceptance by subordinate officers OF
marine hospital health certificates 10
through passengers from northern
POINTS transferring in screened
coaches al New Orleans.
Rev. Beverly Warner, in charge OIL
the citizens movement, expressed
himself yesterday as exceedingly hope
full CT the situation. Some sensational
statements have gone cut through
private letters and in special dispatch
es. giving the impression that the, full
extent Of the situation here is not
being made public That is stated to
be in. no sense a fact. Every doctor is
under a pledge to report all cases I'M
mediately and there is no desire to
misrepresent the daily statement OF
cases or death.
Illinois Open to Refugees
Memphis. Tenn, Aug. 2.-Dr. Egan,
secretary of the Illinois state board OF
health. who was in Memphis yester-
day in conference with Secretary Al
bright of the state board Of health
and Health Commissioner Jones, rela-
tive to the yellow fever situation and
the action to be taken in Illinois to
prevent the spread of the disease to
that state, said before departing for
Cairo last night:
81 find that I have been misquoted
in q number of newspapers relative TO
the attitude of Illinois in relation TO
the present prevalence of yellow fever.
T have never said, nor was 1t the IN
tention of the Illinois board OF health,
that Illinois should be closed to yellow
fever refugees.
Authorities May Clash.
Memphis. Tenn, Aug. 2.-Advices
from BATON Rouge state that CLASH
between the Mississippi and Louisiana
authorities over the quarantine sltua-
ton is imminent. 1t is said that Mis-
sissippi soldiers, employed as quaran-
tine guards, have invaded Louisiana
soil with arms DR.. Souchon, president
of the Louisiana board of health, mas
asked Governor Blanchard to wire the
proper authorities in Washington TO
intervene at once.

Assessment Controversy.


The state tax commission yesterday
held d hearing of an assessment con-
troversy regarding the assessment of
the property in the city of Washburn,
Bayfield, county, by City Assessor
Lane. The city authorities and the
county supervisor of assessments com
planned to the tax commission that the
assessment was much below full value
as required by law and was full of dis
ordinations and inequalities. 1t was
strongly intimated that the assessor
had assessed some properties we'll UP
and had favored other properties by
assessing them only for fraction of
their true assessaole value. George
F. Morgan is the county supervisor OF
assessor and he was joined in the COM
plaint by William H. Irish, R. A. Her
ring and others. City Attorney John
Walsh presented brief before the
tax commission yesterday, represent
ing the complaints against the assess
or and his work. S. H. Pierron ap-
peared as attorney for the Ed Hines
Lumber Co., which corporation has
large interests in Washburn. The city
assessor represents in defense Of him
self that he has made the assessment
this year no different than he has
| made it for the last three years ana
that if the previous assessments are
proper the present assessment cannot
h,o subject to valid COMPLAINT, The
| tax commission took the matter under
advise1nent, retained the records for
examination, and will render a deci-
sion as soon as a determination is
