Fighting the Fever Hard.

New Orleans, La, July 2S.-All
the forces engaged In the battle
against the yellow fever scourge join
in expressing the belief that while
the situation has been and is seri-
Gus enough, success has already been
received in the application of the
methods as a result of the work of
the Reed commission in Cuba to the
hope that for the first time in the
history of the country, the yellow
fever will be stamped out before
frost comes.
With the cases reported yesterday
the aggregate since July 10 runs
close to two hundred.
Nearly all are Italians. These peo-
pie are VIGOROUSLY prone to avoid
physicians and 1t was owing to this
fact that the fever got foothold
in the district occupied by the Ital-
ians before IL became known to the
authorities.
A great cleaning campaign mas
been inaugurated. Every ward is be-
ing thoroughly organized with pre-
cinct organizations radiating from
the major body.
Detention camps, established by
the marine hospital service in order
to enable persons to leave the city
who want to get into sections quar-
antined against New Orleans, were
opened yesterday.
Every passenger is examined and
tickets of through passengers scruti-
nized to prevent anyone attempting
to get into the state by surreptitious
means.

Execution Was Deferred.

the money necessary to carry Hoch' s
appeal to the supreme court.

to a delay of the hanging, and said
he would talk to the governor over
the telephone.
When informed of what had oc-
Cured, Hoch smiled in self-satis-
fed manner, called for a fresh cigar,
and said. This only proves my re-
peated contention that I'll not hang. %
Hoch awoke at o'clock this morn
ing. ate breakfast and after break
fast called for a suit case in which to
pack his effects. He then began to
dress for death, the garb consisting
of a black suit. black tie and white
shirt
Hoch was reprieved this afternoon
until August 20. When the governor
was informed that money had been
raised to carry the case to the SUI
preme court, he said he would grant
the reprieve il the statement was
made in good faith. In the meantime
several people called at the Jail and
made offers more or less bonafide.
The governor finally granted the
reprieve. The elimination of events
) aadlng up to the second stay of exc
cution of this famous criminal was
sensational.
