ADJUSTMENTS
East Lake Casino.

The John B. Willis Musical Comedy company began a weeks engagement at the East Lake Casino last night which promises to prove exceedingly profitable. The offering last night was a musical farce entitled "In Atlantic City" hodge podge of music, comedy and burlesque which was well received. The audience mind-so much so that several numbers were consistently encored
 Tn Atlantic City" was much better than was expected. In fact the piece as a whole is first-class summer entertain ment Many catchy musical numbers are introduced, while the comedy features are very good. James Leslie as Otto Buck, a retired brewer, and Walter S.. Wills as Reginald Van Cott and later Hiny Dee, the bell boy, kept every one laughing with their absurdities. MT. Les lie is an amusing fellow and MT. Wills contrives to perpatrate some surprising acrobatic novelties. These two, with the support of the company. made the per- formance well worth seeing.
 It is noticeable that the girls in the Wills company are rather fresh looking and several are endowed with more than the average share of good looks. The songs rendered with the aid of the chorus were encored, especially the fish ing song when the girls angled among the front row chappies with their rods and lines. Several young fellows seized the bait and refused to let go, with the result that much amusement was created.
 "In Atlantic City, will be given tonight. tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday night. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with matinee Saturday afternoon, Two Old Cronies" will be presented.

Dr.. shoII's Statement.

Dr. F. H. Sholl yesterday afternoon made the following statement as result of the report of the committees:
 'This report shows that the mosquito which spreads the yellow fever germs does exist in Birmingham. It would be best for the people to be careful and the quarantine officers to keep a strict watch to prevent anyone from New Orleans or infected districts from entering the city until the time limit of seven days has ex- pired.
 While the mosquito lives here 1t is not dangerous unless it has bitten a yellow fever patient, so there is no need for fear merely because the mosquito has been found here"

 The Report in Full.
 Birmingham, Ala. July Sl, 1905. Dr. E. II. Sholl, Chairman County Board of Health, Birmingham:
 Dear Sir-Referring to your recent re- ouest that this committee after investi- gation express an opinion as to the pos sibility of the spread of yellow fever, once introduced into this district. we beg to submit the following preliminary re- port:
 First-Among twenty-seven specimens of mosquitoes from different portions or the city which we have examined, four or them were identified as the stegomyla fasciata.
 Second-We find recorded instances or severe epidemics of yellow fever at 5000 and 4200 feet above the sea. level. We expect to continue our investiga- tions in regard to the several varieties of mosquitoes found in Birmingham, but think 1t best now to acquaint you with the above reported facts.
 In conclusion. our opinion is that yellow fever once introduced into Birmingham would find natural conditions favorable to its propagation. Respectfully,
