Special Dispatch to The Call CHICAGO, Aug. 2 of the traction lines as a method of bringing about municipal ownership has run against a stone wall. The pun ad- vocated by Mayor Dunne and his cor- poration counset, James Hamilton Lewls, on the stump in the campaign as an al- ternative to an amicable purchase of the properties from street railway companies | has come to grief because of a provision in the State laws and the opposition of a deicimined majority of the Counc:l For some time it has been the belief in | traction circles and in the City Hall | among those not on the inside, but who are supporters of the immediate muniel- | ership idea, that Mayor Dunne | erienced a change of heart s!nce has exp | he took office and that he no longer is an advocate of condemnation as an alterna- tive now that the traction companias | have refused to name a price which he | considers reasonable, It leaked out to-day in the City Hall that this is not the case—that Mayor Dunne is as much an advocate of con- demnation as ever, but that he has met with such opposition as to completely | Plock the way. | his desk an opinion from the Corporation Counsel on the subject and that the legal department has advised him that con- demnation proceedings, unlike an or- dinary lawsuit, require Council action. An ordinance directing the law depart- ment to start condemnation procesdings is necessary. This completely tied the hands of the administration, because there is no doubt in the minds of Mayor Dunne and his immediate advisers that the majority of the Council is bitterly opposed to con- demnation proceedings and would defeat any ordinance adopting that policy. —_— Judge Hunt to Try Land Frauds.

Captain Bostick and General Peril- liat, after an investigation, confirmed | the first reports of an Invasion by Mississipp! authorities and of the ac- tion of the Mississippi patrol boats In closing Louisiana waters to Louisiana fishermen. The Rigolets drawbridge, on which | the Louisville and Nashville Ralilroad | crosses, is five miles from the Missis- It was found to-day that a man named Blunt, claiming to be In charge of the Mississippi patrol in these waters, had stationed himself on the bridge, armed with two shotguns, and prevented the bridge-keeper from opening the draw to allow boats to pass out from Lake Pontchartrain into Lake Borgne. Many other complaints also have been received. There ure eighteen boats at Ship Island, which were captured by the Mississippl patrol and towed by the revenue catter Winona te Ship Island qunrantine station. It is claimed that every one of these vessels was taken in Loulsiana waters. Another complication has developed in the same connection. The British ship Bravhead of the Head line, after completing her cargo in New Orleans, stopped at the Mississippl side of Lake Borgne canal to get a deckload of lum- ber, but the Mississippi boats abso- lutely refused to allow a tug to go to the mouth of Pearl River to get the barge and rafts. The Brayhead was obliged to leave without the eargo, and the agents and the owners will lay the matter before the British Government. To-day's report of the fever situation shiowed a gain in the number of deaths, but the health authorities ‘confessed to no alarm over the situation and said that | more fatalities were looked for from the | fact that in the past three or four days | there has been a sufficient Increase in the number of cases to warrant the ex- pectation of heavier mortality. High tem- territory. | peratures succeeded by heavy precipita- tion and cooler weather produced climatic conditions. also favorable to fatalities. Practically all of the deaths were of Italians, and nearly all of them were either in the Emergency Hospital or in the district adjacent thereto. Some of the victims were unfortunates whose cases were also reported in the last two days, indicating that they were in a prac- in Loulsiana | | dectine tn the section below:Canal streee, where the sanitation comnditigns are more | favorable for thé spread:of the disease, | there will. be little d@ifficulty in stampin jout the malady which may Qhe under ‘!re’llmenl elrewhere. ‘I here-is né attempt to conceal the fact that the extent of | fever shows a seriqus state of. affilrs, but-there is believed not to be any jus- | tification for the terror which seems ta nme spread over the.country outside of | New Orleans. That the fever continues as an Itallan inTection is shown by the fact that in the ! list of forty-two the Italian vietims, num- ber thirty-five. The six dead dre rela- tives. # CASES ARE CONCEALED. In spite of all that'has been-done to reassure.them, many of the Italjams con- tinue to ‘make efforts to concéal their cases. They are still panic stricken and turn in fear from the:physicians and health offtcers. It wis due-largely to the energy with which the marine Hospital | Torces set about the work of dlscovering | hidden cases that Tuesday's record ‘was | made so large. | "With local inspectors they ignored the custom and insisted_upon, reaching spots where they belleved. cases to exist,. Since this campaign has beenl in progress cases have turned up in the mjost unexpected places. In one instance wihen tha officers had made -a thorough iispectidn of premises and falled to find what they were looking for they went thrqugh a skylight and found a sick man lylng on the roof. In another case they found a patient concealed under a° cistern. “The other day & wagon loaded with house- hold goods and accompapied by Italians started to cross on the ferry. Susgicious officers insfsted on an investigation and when the wagon was unloaded a very { sick man was found. Ome of the reasons | the fever has spread among the Italians is because théy sléep without prbtection ! against mosquitoes. Postmaster Woodward' to- dgy received a letter from the rallway mail service at | Atlanta-saying that Greenrield: Miss., has i notified thas officer that hercafter it will receive no létter mailed from N'w O leans that has not been disinfected and that under no circumstances will, it re- celve newspapers whether disintected or not. ‘;t was said at lhe Smh Board of Health to-day that Secre Hunter of the Mississippt board would probably be hers .hnrnly to survey the suu‘m generally w-l‘-fiiu—t
