PAIL TO FIND GERM.
BacterioIogists Make Futile Research
 in New Orleans


 New Orleans. Oct. 1.-The marine hospital authorities to-day announced that no further yellow fever patients would be received in the emergency hospital. There are in the hospital only twenty-three persons under treat ment.
 To-day's yellow fever record was an exceptionally low one, due partly to the fact that yellow fever is wearing itself out and partly to the fact that suspicious cases are not included in 1t. The services of eleven assistant sur geons, recruited from New Orleans physicians, were dispensed with to- day.
 Although the bacteriologists who have been at work at the emergency hispital, still refuse to talk, 1t is be- lieved that they have failed to make a. success of their hunt for the yellow fever germ.
 The report up to p. m. to-day fol- lows:
 New cases, G.; total to date, 3,995. Deaths, |; total to date, 4S5 New dis ease centers, 2. Cases under treatment, 125. Cases discharged, 2,775.

DORMAN NOW 4 DETECTIVE
TO FILL VACANCY CAUSED BY
 FREH'S REMOVAL,

Commissioners Appoint committee to
 Investigate Publication of Book of Police History-ResignatiOn of Officer
 Recor Accepted-Frank P. Eagan Ap-
 pointed in His PIace-New Standard
 Revolver Adopted.
 A regular meeting of the police com missioners was held in the police build ing last night and the principal busi- ness transacted was the appointment of Patrolman Bennett. W. Dorman to take the place of former. Detective Frey as a member Of the detective department. The new appointee was born in Ham den on October 27, 1866. He was ap- pointed a4supernumerary policeman on March ?, 1897, and on July 20, 1898, he was appointed regular officer. This was during Mayor Farnsworth's ad-s ministration. Since his appointment as g patrolman Officer Dorman has done his duty thoroughly and we'll at all times, having been given honorable mention by the commissioners several times He was the recipient of con. gratulations by his fellow officers and friends last evening on his merited ad- vancement.
 The regular bills were approved by the commissioners, and on recommend ation of the committee on efficiency Detectives Donnelly and Ward and Ser geant Tighe were given honorable men tion by the board. 's,.:
 The resignation of Patrolman Frank .. Recor, of the DtxWell avenue station, was read and accepted, and Supernu- merary Frank P. Eagan was unani- mously elected as a regular officer to fill the vacancy. MT. Recor leaves the force to accept a position at his old trade of brass moulding in Waterbury. By vote of the commissioners the standard revolver of the department was changed from 8 .32-calibre to the Colts 98 Police Positive'' revolver.
 A communication was received from the National New Haven bank com A%lSAANAtA5 DCLSSllNG UlGIl- terious service in the capture of John Osborn, who was arrested by the de- tectlve for forging a check on that bank. The letter was received and placed OF file. ~ c,.=4a#
 The matter of providing suitable in- side fixtures for the new Dixwell ave- nue police station was left to the com- mittee on supplies, with power to act. The new history of the police depart ment, which is now in course of prep- aration, came up before the comrlis- sioners. The reason for this Is because there has been more or less comment about the matter, and this, coming to the attention of the commissioners, has caused them to act. They voted last | night to have President Ullrnan and Commissioner Thompson investigate the matter thoroughly, and it is possi- ble that the board may stop the publi- cation of the book. The committee will likely hold a meeting with the publish CTS to-day. -3.. ... e -~

S testimony that temporarily inter- rupted the witness. These came when Mr. Hughes, the counsel for the com mittee, asked questions that MT. Me- Curdy was reluctant to answer, or eVaded.
 In MT. MeCurdy's testimony to-day feature entirely new was disclosed, and this was that the Mutual Life Insur- ance company employed literary bu- reau to send out to the press of the country news matter that was of bene- fit to the company.
 This information was elicfted during the probing of the legal expenses' ac- count, It came out when a voucher for the payment of s2,5O0 to Joseph Howard, jr., in 1904. was produced. Another voucher for the same amount paid in May, 1905, was marked s.re- payable on demand, , and for profess sional services" MT. McCurdy had vised the vouchers and explained thai MT.

The writer l inclosed tables and statements from the company's reports and said this was in the face of the reserve increasing year after year.
 To all questions on this matter the witness said he was not fortified with the information required; that these were actuarial matters, and when pressed for his opinion, replied that he refused to discuss the question or to enter into any discussion He would (Continued on Fifth Page.)
