Vardaman because of a telegram sent by
him in which he commended the prudence
of Mississippi merchants in refusing to

and in Vera Cruz and expressions by
mercantile men Of their firm faith

is yellow fever transmitted. Also steps
have been taken to disinfect all freight
cars destined for points where the fever

difficult.
