GUARD AGAINST CHOLERA
Rigid Precautions Taken by
American Officials Abroad.

Washington, Aug 13-Rigorous measures
have been taken by American representa-
tives abroad to prevent the Introduction
ports. At the instance of the Public Health
Service the consular offices at Hamburg,
Bremen, Antwerp and Rotterdam and other
Continental and British ports are working
under cable Instructions which require them
to detain steerage passengers from cholera
infected districts In Russia and to dis1n-
feet baggage before embarkation for the
United States. These instructions were
given on account of the recent reports OF
many cases IN Russia and the prospect OF
q spread of cholera in Europe.
The American quarantine regulations
which are now being enforced provide that
steerage passengers and crews shall be de-
tained five days in suitable houses or bar
racks where there is no danger from in
fection. All baggage at these ports is being
disinfected, and cabin passengers coming
from cholera infected districts who embark
at clean or infected ports must produce
satisfactory evidence as to their place OF
abode in the five days Immediately pre-
ceding their embarkation.
The latest reports on the Russian plague
received here say that at Rostof-on-Don
in the week ended July there were 303
cases and 81 deaths, and that since the
beginning of the outbreak there have been
2,S11 cases and 914 deaths. At Odessa there
were reported between July and twenty
five new cases OF cholera and ten deaths.

Mel Sheppard could have caught an
athletic red haired young man who made
thrilling thousand-yard dash in East New

chase resulted from the charge made by
Miss Loretta Peters, OF No. 1A Essex

young man, they say. suddenly ran up to
them and grasped Miss Peters's right fore
arm and wrist, grabbing the handbag as
he did so. She shrieked with pain. The
man then made a move toward MISS
Blumer, but she screamed and took to her
heels.
Dashing around the corner into Shepherd
avenue the fellow fed, with Miss Peters
pursuing while men, women and children
who saw his flight and heard the girls
cries took up the chase. To Glenmore ave-
nue. he sped, then to Ashford street, then
out into Warwick street, to Liberty ave-
nue.. to Barley street, into a hallway, out
into a yard and over several fences. Final

a shot in the air from his revolver. The
fellow stopped when the officer threatened
to, shoot him in the legs. The prisoner
