Their Ability to Stop tho Disease
However-Entire Nation Preparing
to Help Ward Off Invasion.

New York, July 1.-THE fight to
bar cholera from the port OF New
York continued today with federal
expert helping the local health de-
partment. The 2is persons who ar
rived here two weeks ago on the
steamer Moltke are still under obser-
vation and win undergo bacterioog
ical examination and more rigid
quarantine Will be enforced at Swim
burne island, where is cases of the
disease are confined, with four under
suspicion.
These cases. with the five deaths
that have occurred sce the Moltke
brought the germ from Naples, show
the reality of the danger the city
faces from the epidemic now raging in
Southern Europe.
While nothing even approaching a
panic exists here now. the situation Is
receiving greater attention and DIR.
Alvah II. Doty, health officer of the
port. has felt called on to issue re-
assuring statement.
DIR. Doty says that the cholera germ
can be received in one way only,
through the mouth, but that there is
no danger in ordinary contact with
persons who have the disease. How
ever. Charles Duskins, counsel for the
compainants at the investigation of
DR.. Dotys official conduct now I'm
progress, declares his belief that the
cholera patients now in the hospital
caught the disease not on the steamer.
but at the immigration station. where
all the passengers were detained after

The danger. or rather the under

lutely free from their i'll effect. and
be as great menace to others as a

Another death occurred mt the
Swinburne hospital during the night,
making the total six. The quarantine
officers said today that conditions at

J. J. Hill Has Cure For Trusts

ST. Paul, Mimi, July 19.-"There
would be no trusts, in the accepted
meaning of the term said James ].
Hill, IF we had q federal law re-
quiring every corporation to prove
that it's capital stock is fully paid up
before it is allowed to do business in
any of our states. That would pre-
vent false imitation of values and the
wide sale of stock in enterprises that
are not solidly founded.
There is plenty of money in the
country and it is being offered at a
low rate of interest for short time
ing into the creation of new bust
ness enterprises. On the contrary,
much of our money is going to for
eign lands for investment"
Regarding crop conditions Mr..
Hill said he had not been home from
Europe long enough to get an ade-
quate idea of the situation all over
the country. From what I have
learned, however" he said, 81 do not
think the whole crop of the country
will be sufficient to lend any great
degree of animation to the industries
of the nation.
Along our lines conditions are
fair. but spotted in Washington.
North Dakota crops will be affected
by the droUth. Montana is in good
shape and so is northern Minnesota.
South Dakota is in bad shape. Our
interests are not heavy there. How
ever. the failure of the small grains
there will affect our local CONNER
cial interests. I am informed farm
ers in South Dakota are now buying
seed wheat at the elevators for next
years crops Corn should be a fair
crop there. and fax reports are good
so that South Dakota will not suf-
fer as largely as it might"
Mr.. Hill was pleased at the favor
able turn the reciprocity question
has taken in the special session of
congress and said he believes the
lowering of the tariff will prove of
almost inestimable value to the
United States, and especially to st.
Paul and the northwest.

lieve," said Mr.. Hill, that reciproc-
ity with Canada will result in inva-
sion of the United States by Canad-
