YELLOW FEVER
Continued from Page oneA

OI1ceS ana depOtS announcing that all
tickets bought for any point out of
New Orleans are purchased at the
purchasers risk and subject to the
restrictions of quarantine.
Local representatives of lines which
run through Mississippi were advised
by telegram today that no person from
New Orleans would be permitted to
travel on a train through that state
without a health certificate This af-
fects through passengers bound north,
east and west. Before they had re-
ceived these orders ticket offices here
had sold large numbers of tickets to
people who were to leave tomorrow
and Monday, and they are now busy
order to save them from being taken
from New Orleans and thrown into
detention camps in adjoining states.
The increase in the number Of deaths
and cases of yellow fever today is not
causing any anxiety. All but one of
the dead are italians or Austrians who
hailed from the original focus of in
fection. OF the new cases there is only
one point of infection among the best
element of the population and that has
been traced to the original infection.
History of Lamberton Case
The history of the case of yellow
fever reported at Lamberton, Miss, the
first in that state has not yet been

that the victim is one Of the many
Italians who fled from the French mar
ket district here. Very probably cases
will develop at other points though the
danger is constantly lessening because
the Gordon drawn around New Or
leans is now so tight at the east, so
far as the emergence Of Italians IS
concerned, that it is doubtful If any
more will be able to leave the city.

case which has been screened and
isolated and is being scientifically
treated. 1t is not considered probable
that there will be any spread there.
The cleaning continues to be carried
on with great energy and every cart to
be had in the city has been requisi-
toned by the public health authorities
and citizens commission. Several hun
dred barrels of lime are being used in
the effort to purify streets, cutters and
back yards.
The Era club, one Of the chief
woman's organizations of the city, has
volunteered it's services to DR.. Beverly
Warner, proposing to hold meetings
daily in order that the women of the
city may be instructed in the crusade
against the mosquito and the best
methods of Kidding the city Of them.
Summer Visitors Scarce
The depopulation of the Mississippi
gulf towns of summer visitors from
New Orleans continues owing to Gov
ernor Vardeman's determination that
these towns shall have no communica-
ton with New Orleans. The governor
said that, leaving out the cost of hu-
man life, an epidemic of the fever on
the coast would mean $20,000,000 in de-
probation of real estate alone.
Much sympathy is felt here for Mem
phls, which has been compelled to-
quarantine against New Orleans
against her will.
On the first report of the fever that
city sent a representative here who
put himself in close touch with the sit
uation and saw no necessity for quar-
antine, and the health authorities
would doubtless have kept their prom
Use not to bar New Orleans refugees
If the imposition Of quarantine by other
cities against Memphis had not forced
Memphis to act in self-defense.
The quarantines have greatly disar-
ranged railroad service. All the roads
have had to take of local trains. An
the weekly and semi-weekly excursions
to nearby resorts have been abandoned.
Through trains are carrying large num-
bers Of passengers bound for the north
ern and eastern resorts. but travel
south has naturally fallen Off, though
the hotel registers daily show arrivals
OF people from the north coming here
on business.
