The Gensan correspondent of the

are building defences to check a Jap.

is so necessary to both that each will
be reluctant to withdraw from the
negotiations, once they are begun,
without attaining peace. 1t is believed
in official quarters that each side will
find the other adopting stiff atti-

the breaking point, but that ulti-

reached.

The. court replied that he could not
recharge on any "unwritten law" but

this phase Of the law the court ex-
pressed the hope that verdict would
be reached.
Monday night members of the jury,

Savannah, Brunswick and
Columbus Quarantine.
INSPECTORS APPOINTED
Passengers from Ali Infected Places
Will be Turned Back-Dr. Brun-
ner Wires Report from
New Orleans. r. >

Following the recommendation Of
the sanitary commission, the resolu-
ton Of council empowering him to
do so, Mayor Myers Of Savannah, Ga,
Wednesday afternoon issued a proc
lamation declaring quarantine
against persons and personal baggage
from New Orleans, the entire state Of
Louisiana and all points now infect
ed with yellow fever.
Special sanitary inspectors have
been appointed to board all incoming
trains and stop all persons unable to
show they have not been in Louisiana
within six days.
Though the proclamation declares
quarantine against any place which
has yellow fever, only Louisiana is
specified in instructions to inspectors,
and for the present the quarantine
Is against Louisiana alone.
Health Officer Brunner Of Savannah,
who went TO New Orleans to invest!-
gate conditions, wired the mayor as
follows:
ARRIVED this morning. Inspection OF
situation warrants close quarantine OF
railroads. Alabama and Mississippi
quarantine compels passengers to go
through these states. Refugees seem
to be centralizing in Atlanta. Advise
careful inspection Of Atlanta trains"
Quarantine, however, had already
been declared before DR.. Brunner was
heard from. City officials have given
notice that the city ordinance against
originating or disseminating false re-
ports in regard to infectious or con.
taeious diseases will be rigidly en-
forced.
The city council .of Columbus, Ga,
declared a quarantine against oil Cit
les where yellow fever exists or may
exist. Officers will be placed on all
incoming trains. The period Of absence
from fever infected localities required
will be twenty days, otherwise admls-
sion to Columbus will be denied. An
ordinance was adopted, broadening the
powers Of the sanitary department.
The department is given the privilege
of cleaning private lots when the prop
erty owners are tardy in doing so, as
sessing the cost against the property.
A vigorous sanitation campaign is now
on In Columbus.
At a special meeting OF the Bruins
wick, Ca, board Of health and city
council, Wednesday, it was decided
to put on rigid quarantine against
all infected and suspected points. A
quarantine was also declared against
all southern ports, including Savan-
nah.
