TH|RTY-TWO NEW
 CASES OF TYPHOID
Two Deaths Reported Yes terday-Health Officers
 Still Seek Cause

Mobile. July 27.-(Speical.l l-Thirty-tw new cases of typhiod fever were reported to the board of health today and two deaths from the disease were given in. Of these cases 2S of the entire number were reported by five physicians. State Bae- terologist P. B. Moss, accompanied by Meat and MIX Inspector Harsh, today made a general inspection of the daif'ics from which the citys milk supply is pro- cured, and stated at the conclusion of tnc inspection that sanitary conditions were
 better than he had expected .osfind. | An inspection of. a number of specific | typhoid cases was also made by Dr
 Moss. Samples of city water will be pro- cured, probably tomorrow, and sent to
 Montgomery for bacteriological examina- | ton. One of the reports handed in today stated that the patient had probably con- | tracted typhoid in New Orleans, and an- other gave Birmingham as the probable place of infection.
 R. C. Watkins, a Birmingham con- tractor, who is at present in the city although an avowed prohibitonist, pre- diets the success of the licensed saloon at the election to be held there on Au- gust 27. To The Age-Herald representa- tive tonight he said
 T think the licensed saloon will win by a small majority, but the voting will be heavy. Some one has paid he 'scab' vote which comprises those who had no, formerly paid their poll tax. These will probably help both sides in the fight. There has been a pile of money spent in this election in Birmingham but I think that the saloon will come back as a licensed institution"
