OVER CHOLERA CARRIERS

NEW YORK, July 19.-The health Of
hcers not only of New York. but Of the
whole country, may be asked to help re-
pei the threatened invasion of Asiatic
cholera. The discovery of five cholera
carriers" among the 500 immigrants UNI
dergoing meteorological examination at
quarantine emphasized what Health Of
flcer Doty has said about the difficulty
of combining the disease to the quaran-
tine hospitals of ports of entry.
Mr.. Doty is comforting with Surgeon
General Wyman, head Of the United
how the country may be protected
against carriers" who harbor the germs
while themselves free from their i'll
effects. A system of general observa-
ton is contemplated, so that even after
the carrier" is released from quaran-
tine, the health authorities of the place
where he settles may watch for possi-
BILE transmission of the disease.
The case of these cholera carriers
presents puzzle. AS yet the health au-
thorities have not decided how soon II
Will be safe to permit them to be at
large.
The following bulletin relating to the
cholera situation was given out at quar-
antine at a. nj

Ii, aged IS years, one of the steerage pas

PUSH ATLANTA AS CITY
FOR REALTY MEETING
Louisville and Kansas City
Other Contenders for Next
Convention
tBy Associated Press

DENVER, July 19.-Though the con-
vention of the National Association of
Real Estate exchanges Is proceeding in a
strictly business manner, the delegates
by no means are neglecting convention
politics. The principal topic is the meet
ing place of the next convention, Louis
vile, Atlanta and Kansas City all being
contenders for the honor. Winnipeg,
Canada, is already boosting for the con-
vention of 1918. while Kansas City, though
willing to accept next years convention,
holds that II would in reality prefer the
convention of a year later.
Up until late last night delegates dis
cussed convention politics and the very
first thing this morning groups of real
estate men gathered in the hotel Hobbies
and took up the discussion where 1T had
been left off last night.
Whether President Alexander S. Tay-
Tor, of Cleveland, Ohio, viii be candi-
date for reelection is problematical.
There has been some intimation that an
effort will be made to have the constitu-
ton amended so the president can serve
two terms in succession and President
Taylor urged to make the race to sue
coed himself.
At this mornings session addresses
were delivered by Col. ]. s. Ray, Louis
Vile; A. n. Frederick, st. Louis; Philip
Moessinger, Cincinnati; John E. Leet'
Denver, and Col. Nathan William Nc
Chesney, Chicago.

NEW YORK TO HAVE
DIRECT TAXATION

ALBANY, N. Y, July 20.-The state
of New York is to return to a direct tax
for the first time in a decade, according
to tentative program agreed upon by
Governor Dix and the legislative leaders.
The tax to be levied will be six-tenths
of a mill and IT is estimated that 1t will
result in an increased revenue of about
$4,000
Heretofore all the state expenditures
have been betrayed by the liquor taxes
and other revenues. 1t is believed that
the increased revenue provided by the
proposed tax will be sufficient to wipe
out the deficit from the appropriations
made by the last legislature and give
the state working surplus. The bin
providing for the direct tax will be in
troduced at once and pushed to passage
before the legislature adjourns.
