The chief interest in the yellow few

the infection at Baton Rouge. Since
the fever appeared in New Orleans
the state capital has been completely
bottled up, permitting no cOmmunica-

Though the number of new cases in
New Orleans today was disappointing,
the death report was so favorable as
TO confirm the frequently expressed
opinion that the fever is practically

A MURDERED EDITOR
Explanation of the Death of ]. H.
Thompson OfN. Y. Times.

New York, Sept. "A mystery of
unusual proportions was today develop
ed in the circumstances surrounding
the death Of Jacob H. Thompson, for
the last forty years an editor on the
New York Times, by positive evidence
that he was murdered on the night of
Sept. Z, by a brutal clubbing in a pro-
minent hotel situated in one of the
busiest residence and business sections
of New York City. This fact was dis
closed today by the cOroner's autopsy
This examination showed that Mr..
Thompson had been struck over the
head at least a dozen times with a
blunt instrument and had been stran-
gled as well.
No one has been found who admits
having the slightest knowledge of what
transpired in the editors room in the
st. James hotel at 100 West Forty fifth
street from the time he entered it early
Thursday evening until ne was found
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning by
a chambermaid who told the coroner
that she saw him half sitting and max
ing conclusive movements with his
hands. He was then fully dressed and
was wearing riding boots. An unfin-
ished letter was lying on his desk as
if the writer had just laid down his
pen.
