NO CASES OF TYPHOID.
Not One Reported Yesterday-Epi
demic Believed to Be Over.

There was not a new case OF typhoid
fever reported to the city board of health
Yesterday. During the several weeks past
there have been scores reported, one week
reaching the appalling figure of 10l, and
during all that time DR.. NJ. r. Stewart,
civ health commissioner, did not investi-
gate a single case nor aid in the fight.
State officials who have vigorously COM
batted the epidemic believe the worst is
over. A few more cases may be re-
ported, but not many are expected.
Physicians still warn the public to boil
water and milk for a few days more, at
least, and to observe sanitary precau-
tons.

CHIEF PIRCHOT
IN WASHINGTON
viii Continue to Garry Out His
Policies Without Modi-
fiCati0n.
PRESIDENT WILL BACK HIM
FORESTER DECLARES WATER
POWER TRUST SURELY EXISTS.

Washington, Oct. with a full de-
termination to continue without the
slightest modification of his policies re-
garding the conservation Of the nations
natural and the national for
ests, Clifford PinchOt, chief forester of
the government, returned here today
after a two months inspection of prac-
tically all of the national forest re-
serves.
In speaking of the conservation ques-
ton, Mr.. Pinchot declared that the peO-
pie of the country, especially of the
west, we're now awake as never before
TO that problem. President Taft, he
said, had defined his position regarding
conservation, and there could o be
no possible doubt that he is strongly
committed to that policy.
His Plans Unchanged.
Mr.. Pinchot stated most emphatically
that he had come back here TO pursue
his conservation n forestry policies
just as ne had carried them on in the
past.
Mr.. Pinchot declared that the national
forests were never in better condition;
that the district plan of organization
was in admirable shape, and the per-
sonnet on a higher standard than ever
before. Public sentiment, he declared,
was very rapidly getting to De unanl-
nous in favor of the forest service work,
n he added that Secretary Wilson's
trip through the west recently had done
an immense amount of good.
Mr.. PinchOt declined to say anything
for publication regarding the sO-calied
controversy between himself and Secre-
tary Ballinger owe conservation mat
tiers, but stated emphatically that he
would not resign.
Pointing out that there was a water
power trust certainly in process of for
nation. Mr.. PinchOt declared hat it
vas one of the biggest questions which
would be put up for action at this ses-
sion of congress-, adding that we have
got TO do something about the matter,
or else lose out"
He said that the tendency of CONSOLE
dalton which was now going on in all
industrial enterprises necessarily in the
end would lead to the merging together
of the water power interests exactly as
1t has in the steel and oil industries.
When asked if II were possible to head
off this proposed trust, Mr.. PinchOt ex-
pressed the view that I'VE can prob
ably not prevent the consolidation, but
we car control it."
The question of the coal lands in the
west and in Alaska, Mr.. PinChOt stated,
would be another important matter with
which congress would have TO deal.
Mr.. PinchOt will remain here a few
days, and then meet President Taft and
river as far as New Orleans.
