Serious Reflection Both on New
Orleans and the State of
Louisiana.

Baton. Rouge, La July Ex-Governor
Blanchard tonight gave out the follow
ing:
The governor of Mississippi in an ad-
dress issued to the people of that state
on the afternoon of the 26th relative to
the existence of yellow fever in New
Orleans, used the following language:
The usual discrimination and evasion
were praeticed by the health authorities
of New Orleans, and the state of Louis
lana. but finally an admission was ex-
torted that yellow fever existed there
''This is a serious reflection upon the
state of Louisiana and the city of New
Orleans, and upon officials as high-mind-
ed as the governor of Mississippi himself,
and should not have been made without
reliable information and data upon which
to base it. If the governor of Mississippi
has such Information, / call upon him to
make it public.
II am informed by both President Sou
chon of the state board of health and
President Kohnke of the city board of
health, that the charge of discrimination
and evasion made by the governor of
Mississippi is untrue.
When reports of yellow fever began
to spread I wrote DR.. Souchon that as
soon as the board of health became satis-
fled that yellow fever existed in the city,
TO communicate the fact to the health
authorities of other cities and states. Inis
he did.
HE would not have been justified in
reporting yellow fever until satisfied of
its existence in the city.
"Other states on receiving information
of the appearance of the fever. sent their
health officers to New Orleans to look
into the situation. Mississippi sent none."

little girl to the ground, turned about.

Wealthy Vicksburg Woman Is Said to

Chicago, July 28.--Charges that Mrs.
Sarah d. Mulholland wealthy woman
from vicksburg, Miss, Is retained as a
prisoner by her two daughters, the Misses
Daisy E. and Hattie Mulholland, were
made in the superior court today by Mrs.
May Fovell, who claims that she is also
a daughter of Mrs Muholland. On the
showing made by the bill, Judge Dupuy
issued writ of habeas corpus command
ing the Misses Mulholland to produce their
mother in court.
Mrs. Mulholland is the widow of Charles
H. Mulholland who for many years op-
Grated line of steamboats, on the Mis-
sissippi river between ST. Louis and Mem
phis, and it is said that a desire to con-
troll the disposition of the fortune left by
him is partly at the bottom of the present
court proceeding.
Keeps Constant Guard.
In her petition Mrs. Fovell declares that
the Misses Daisy and Hattie Muholland
have kept constant guard over their
mother; have constantly kept the doors Of
their apartments locked and have refused
to allow their mother to leave the prem
ises unless accompanied by one of them.
Mrs. Fovell insists that her mother has
repeatedly expressed a desire to live with
her, but that the two other young women
have refused to let their mother go for
the season that they desire to retain con-
troll of her money and property.
Mother Is Very Feeble.
1t is probable that the hearing in the
case will be postponed until next week,
on account of the feeble condition of Mrs.
Mulholland. She was unable to appear
today when a deputy sheriff visited her
apartments ia an effort to bring her into
court hi ~
Miss Daisy Mulholland was emphatic In
her declaration that Mrs. Fovell Is not a
sister OF hers "She Is not my sister de-
clared Miss Mulholand, "and she Is no

fore, but she has no claims to my mother s
custody
Mrs. Mulholland also denied that her
mother had been restrained in any man
ner. She said that her mother was old
and feeble. and that 1t was necessary for
one of them to be with her constantly,
but she denied that her mother had been
kept a prisoner.
Vieksburg, July $50 far as can be
learned here tonight Charles Mulhoand
left only two daughters, one of whom Is
married On his death about ten years
ago Mulholland's family left here and
since then all trace of them has been
lost. While in comfortable circumstances

no large fortune
