Natchez Board of Health Discovers
Number of Cases in that City
Claimed to he Traced to
New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug 27.-Following is
he official report to .. m Sunday:


The record shows the smallest number
Of new cases since August and the largest
number of deaths on any day since the
fever made its appearance. The unusual
number of deaths is attributed in a meas
ure to the change in the weather, last night
being cool and pleasant, in great contrast
to the weather of the preceding week.
Three well known merchants are among
the new cases. Only two names that can
be traced to Italian origin are among the
thirty-one OF the deaths, eight are Italians.
The principal news from outside the city
was the announcement from Natchez of the
discovery Of six cases there and the at
tempt to blame New Orleans for them.
This is regarded as rather strange in view
Of the fact that of all the tight quaran-
tines against New Orleans, Natchez has
maintained the tightest, not even allowing
its own people to return there If they had
been near New Orleans.
Other reports from the country are as
follows: Patterson, no new cases and no
deaths; Amelia, two new cases. Bayou
Boeuf one case; Pecan Grove, three cases
and one death; Elizabeth plantation, one
death; Hanson City, four new cases and
one death; St. Rose, two cases; Port Bar
row, two cases; Ninth ward of Jefferson
parish, one case Lake Providence, three
cases; Gulf Port, three cases. Mississippi
City, no new cases.
The Southern Pacific railway at the re-
quest of the State Board of Health has
put on a special coach for the accommoda-
ton of people travelling between infected
points on that road. 1t will be run every

FOLK WANTS BOOK MAKING
ABOLISHED IN MISSOURI

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 8.-Gover.
nor Folk In a special message to both
houses of the legislature urges that
legislation be passed which will pre-.
vent all betting on horse racing in the
state. He refers particularly to the
proposed repeal of the breeders law,
which licenses bookmakers to sell
pools in certain Enclosures, the fees
going to the state fair.
"The breeders law" says Governor
Folk in his message, "forbids under
penalties the selling of pools on horse
races, except within certain Enclosures,
and is a good law as far as it goes, but
it does not go far enough. If pool
selling is an evil thing, it should not
be permitted at all.
Law Held IndcfensibIe.
Stripped of its useless verbiage this
act levies tribute upon gambling upon
the results of horse racing; in this re-
spect it is indefensible from any moral
standpoint.

New York, Feb. 8.--Standard oil In
terests to dominate and control the
transportation facilities of the whole
country?
That was the question discussed In
high financial circles since 1t became
known yesterday that Standard Oil, to-
gether with the Hartman syndicate
had succeeded In securing practical
control of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad.
tain a grip on the country's transpor-
tation facilities the Standard Oil mag
mates have decided to make Edward
H. Hartman, himself the head of a
railway system Of over $4,000 miles,
the sole managing head of all Standard
Oil railway properties. 1t has dawned
upon the financial world that Harri-
man, backed by Standard Oil, Is al
ready the greatest railway king of his
tory.
Control Made Certain.
All doubt of Hartman
control of Santa Fe was removed when
| it became known yesterday that q spe-
cial meeting of the Santa Fe board
would be held here today with a view
to giving two Standard Oil represent
atives places on the board.
The announcement OF the AtehisoI
program, following as 1t does, SO soor
after the news that Standard Oil has
secured substantial interest in the
1 Vanderbilt properties, leaves no doubt
as to the purpose Of the Rockefeller
Hartman combination. Today Stand
ard OIL is by far the greatest single
power in American railroading and II
Is power that is being extended with
startling rapidity.
Have Power In West.
The Rockefellers, together with the
men they have taken into their fold
now control the transportation indus

4 About two years ago the Rockefel
lers formed an alliance with the
Goulds and gradually became interest
ed in all the Gould properties, theil

j Then came the alliance with Edward

ton of substantial interests in tn,

system, especially the Southern Paci

Pacific directors Stillman, Hyde an,
