SITUATION IN HAND.
No Apprehension Felt Regarding the
Case at New Iberia.

Case at New Iberia.
The marine hospital service reported a
case of yellow fever at New Iberia, La,
August 10. Surgeon Guiteras was directed
to proceed to New Iberia and report on the
conditions existing there and take measures
to prevent spread of the disease. DR.. Quit
eras reported August q as follows: mo
new case since the initial one. Source of
infection undetermined. Danger of spread
slight. Situation well in hand. Effective
isolation and disinfection of infected terri
tory. 1t is proposed to fumigate all houses
in the city. No excitement or apprehen-
sion."
Up to this time no further cases have been
reported and it is the hope of the marine
hospital service that there will be no out
break Of the disease in Louisiana this year.

induced them to do this, particularly when
it is SO important to lead, if possible. Be
sides that If they defeated Yale with their
right ones they should stick to them and
not alter now.
Another thing that is very noticeable
and that is the much greater amount of
coaching that the Cambridge men still have
to endure than their opponents. 1t must be
a mistake to worry and fidget men now and
too late to teach them anything particular,
as when they start racing the men will
row more or less mechanically, each doing
his utmost to forget the existence of
coach"

Agent--Wordy War
LITTLE HOPE OF SETTLEMENT
AppeaIers Want Money Concessions,
Council Can't Give Them and the

este Standing Pat and Chances for
Amicabe Agreement Not Promising.

The validity of the soldiers prefer
ence law will be passed upon by the
United States supreme court. The
city council on Monday night decided
to appeal from the ruling of the state
supreme court in the case of Captain
C. H. Shaw against the council, the
state court having declared the law
constitutional.
Action TO this end was fastened by
the fact that the clerk of the supreme
court is pressing the states claim for
the costs Of the appeal taken by the
city, and which the city would be
compelled to pay at once unless the case
Is carried higher! The council also be-
lieved 1t would be confronted with an
other demand to appoint Captain Shaw
as city clerl, if the city acknowledged
it's defeat by paying the costs at the
present time, and it was deemed an
easier matter to fight in the federal
court than here at home EX-City So
licitor Van Law, who has had charge
of the city's interests in the suit, has
agreed to carry the case to the United
States supreme court, without addi-
tional fees, for the reason that he be-
lieves his position is right and that
the law will be declared unconstitu-
tional.

MAXIMUM PENALTY TEN YEARS

ers and Jail Breakers Convicted =
As Same Evidence Will be Present

George Leonard, one of the six men

Company on May IS, and who, with
the others, escaped from the county
1ail two weeks later, and was after
wards recaptured, was this afternoon
found guilty of burglary, one OF two
counts under which he was indicted.
The jury's verdict was returned at l
O'Clock, after it had been out about
two hours and half. The maximum
sentence under the verdict is ten years
in the penitentiary.
In some respects the conviction OF
Leonard was surprise, as lawyers
who had heard the case tried believed
conviction would be next to impossible,
owing to the meager positive testimony
the state was able to accumulate and
present.
There is still another indictment
hanging over Leonard, that of jail

more serious charge has been secured.
AS the states evidence in the cases

same and from the same witnesses
that convicted Leonard, 1t is not inn
possible to presume that "a conviction
in each of the other cases is likely
Before he was tried Leonard, with
the others, offered to plead guilty, pro-
vided they were given but one years
penitentiary sentence. This County
Attorney Northup refused to consent
to.
The jury was sent out at 10 O'Clock
this forenoon On the request OF the
defendants attorney the jurymen werf
kept together in charge OF a bailif all
