JELKS AND BLANCHARD
 MAY HAVE A CONTROVERSY

alleged threats of Mir witherspoon or Governor Blanchard to attack the quar- antine system would net cause him to relax in enforcing the rule that no per son from an infected point unless a refugee shalf pass through the State Of Alabama until seven days are spent in uninfected area, The Alabama Health Officer said that this Is no new reguia- tion and has been enforced in past squarantines.
 Dr. Sanders Talks.
 We put the same law into effect during the quarantine of 1897" said Dr. Sanders. If we allowed people to come back and forth through the State we might as well abolish the whole system. We have conceded fefugees the right to go on through but have al- ways prohibited them from retracing their steps or doubling back into the State. There Is too much risk. Why suppose that a person should take notion to start fin New Orleans and travel through Alabama to Atlanta, then turn right around and come back again. Without stopping in Atlanta longer than between trains he gets back on the train and comes on through Alabama and repeats it for seven days. Tn such a case Alabama would be ex- posed to the party if he should hap pened to be infected. He would be ex- posed most of his time in Alabama, if we were to allow such tactics to con- tinue."
 Governor Jeiks, it was learned yes- terday, intends coming to Montgom- cry from Blount Springs In the next few days, probably by the end of this or the beginning of next week. If the disagreement between Governor Blan- chard and the Alabama quarantine sxs- tenn by that time develops into a real rns1 T0x yx2af xyfIy than fl- deavor to straighten it out.
 Judge Jones was seen last night and was asked for his opinion of the aileg- ed rights of interstate passengers to pass through Alabama without being disturbed. He declined to be inter- viewed on this question for the reason. as he said, that he might have the mat ter come under his Jurisdiction and he would not prejudge the case. He con- firmed the report that he had received a letter of complaint from Mir. Wither- spoon about his treatment In Mont gomery and in the latter he charged 6 certain quarantine officer with treat in him like a blacksuard." Judge Jones has not responded to the appeal from Mir. witherspoon.
 WtlI Try it Again.
 MT. Wftherspoon passed through again Tuesday night on his way to Atlanta. He Is much exer- clSG0 over the feStrlcLlOuS a&dI06I lf& coming back through the State and when ha attempts to return to New if he does so. the strained req lations between him and the officers may come to a point. 4 close watch will be kept on his movements and he will be treated just as other passeu- gers.
 Dr. Sanders says he Is satisfied with the assurance he received from Surgeon White in Mobile this week fin regard to the Immigration of freight cars out of New Orleans into Alabama The cars whether loaded or empty are fumf- gated with burning sulphur just be. fore leaving New Orleans Eff they are allowed to leave. In order to comply with the regulations Dr. White has ifn- posed on the railroads, their agents are to see to 1t that the cars are loaded soon enough after fumiga- ton to allow men to do the work Of and no later less the mosquitoes should enter.
 Dr. Sanders has added confidence fin the methods of Dr. White because 1t is to the interest of the railroads to obey the instructions. They would run, otherwise. the risk of sacrificing traf. fic in certain towns that might put an on freight that was liable to 
 A good number of Louisiana and cities and towns have al- ready tabooed any and ali freight out of New Orleans or any of the infected parishes
