published to- day Secretary Wilson sent to the president a copy ofMoores statement made to the secretary in defense of his connection with the hitro culture concern That statement indi- cates that Moores superiors in the de department of agriculture were cogniz ant for a long time of his desire to leave the department to identify him self with the nitroculture company unless he could secure a promotion but in it Moore expressly says that his superiors did not know his wife was a stockholder In the company or that a considerable block of the stock had been reserved for him For some reason which is not explained Moore neglected to Inform his superiors on very material point Prompt Action Promised- Dr Moores statement has been pub lished It Is regargid as not unlikely that out of the inquiry which is being made into Dr Moores connection with the nitroculture company may grow some sensational disclosures The let ter of Mr Harman to the president contains intimation of a state of at lairs that is not explained by state ments to Secretary Wilson The whole matter by direction of the president will be probed to the bottom and If the facts warrant prompt action will be taken by the department of justice SHONTS AT PANAMA No Changes Contemplated in the Canal Force Personnel J auama July P 6uont9 chairman of the Panama canal commission today informed the As- sociated Press that he

Men of High Character In his proclamation the president insisted upon tho appointment of men of the highest character and good reputation in order that there might be no scandal con nected therewith This same care was exercised In the selection of the two I men to serve with CImmisloner Rich ards Both Dern and Howbert are well known in their respective states they are not recognized as active npli ticians but as substantial citizens and men whose position places them above temptation in connection with drawing Both Dern and Howbert were selected- at the suggestion of Commisisoner Richards who wrote asking them to serve Today letters were received from them expressing their to act and appointments followed No Politics lorn Is a Democrat Howbert a Re- publican so there can be no charge that the committee is partisan More- over neither Richards How bert is a Mormon so there Will be no grounds whatever cry that this which will conduct the drawing is made uu in favor of the Mormons or will operate to benefit the Mormons and against the interest of the Gentiles Acting Secretary Ryan- is satisfied that this committee is as fair and impartial as any three men who copld selected and

who were carried to the hospital to day These eight are now much im- proved a which would be quite If fertr thetr ailment There good reason to be lieve therefore that the other two sick men who became

direct result of the large amount of new street im provements demanded by the property owners The tax levy for city purposes last year was 10 mills The figures submit ted to the city council this week

Together with a copy of Mr Mooresresignation which was published to-day Secretary Wilson sent to thepresident a copy ofMoores statementmade to the secretary in defense ofhis connection with the hitroculture concern That statement indi-cates that Moores superiors in the dedepartment of agriculture were cognizant for a long time of his desire toleave the department to identify himself with the nitroculture companyunless he could secure a promotionbut in it Moore expressly says thathis superiors did not know his wifewas a stockholder In the company orthat a considerable block of the stockhad been reserved for him For somereason which is not explained Mooreneglected to Inform his superiors onvery material point
Prompt Action Promised-Dr Moores statement has been pub
lished It Is regargid as not unlikelythat out of the inquiry which is beingmade into Dr Moores connection withthe nitroculture company may growsome sensational disclosures The letter of Mr Harman to the presidentcontains intimation of a state of atlairs that is not explained by statements to Secretary Wilson The wholematter by direction of the presidentwill be probed to the bottom and If thefacts warrant prompt action will betaken by the department of justice

YORK July 29 Wdtb twentyfive cases of possible yellow feverdetained under observation on the
quarantine islands A H Doty healthofficer of the port said tonight thattwentyfour hours must dapse before itcould be absolutely determined by benterioioglcal tests whether any of thesuspects wero Infected with the dreadplague
Looks SuspiciousTwo sailors both apparently seriously
ill were taken steamerwhich arrived from Colon and
Isolated In the house on Swinburneisland EigHt more ot the crew whohad been ill during the voyage but wereconvalescing seven Dassencars two
cabin all ot whom showed increased temperatures were taken to Hoff-man island for detention until the
of blood examinations are knownIn addition to these two suspects weretaken to Hoffman island today from thesteamer from Orleansand there remain om the island six casesfrom tho steamer Avon which recentlyarrived from Colon
All suspects held yesterday from thesteamer Alamo from Galveston Texwere released todayNot Dangerously 111
None of the patients now under detention is regarded as beimr dangerouslyill but there is apprehension that there
exist omons them cases of andangerous form of yellow fever
tho stage in the suf-ferer walks abroad slightlyill but Imperiling all with whom comesin contact
The health officials tonight ore mak-ing the most thorough tests for this typeof yellow among tho ten members
crew because lourthe crew were taken off at Colon ac-
tually sufTerinir with yellow jackTime Will Tell
Health Officer believes that within twentyfour hours his tests willthe remaininz sick from theSegruranca are merely sufferinsr from anepidemic of lower fever which is quitecommon on board arriving In Newfrom the isthmusThe two worst cases he said may
possibly be yellow fever but even thisEScht of the crew were
about as sick five days arethetwo who were carried to the hospital today These eight are now much im-proved a which would be quiteIf fertr thetrailment There good reason to believe therefore that the other two sickmen who became 111 only threedays ago have the same complaint andwill recover Just as I feelconfident the eight convalescents arenot yellow fever cases but I will make-up definite statement either that it isor Is not yellow fever until the bloodand other tests settle the matter conclusvely

TwentyNine New Cases of Fever atNew Orleans
New prleans July 29 is thereport of the health authorities on yel-low fever up to G p m today Newcases 29 cases to date 256 deaths today7 deaths to date 54 new foci 2
Deducting the number of deaths andnumber of recoveries it is believed
that there are not more than 75 cases under treatment if many
Panic in the SouthMuch encouragement is drawn from
the fact that only two new foci have deOne of these is a nurse who
attended a patient at a hospital and theother Is of Milneburgwhere there had been a suspicious caserecently bnt which had been spiritedaway before the authorities got hold ofit The railroads continue to be serlously hampered by quarantines The
of the conference of health authori-ties at Memphis to recommend a quaran-tine of entire state of Tennesseeagainst infected points is evidence of the
of panicky feeling outside of NewOrleans day now some haltdozen little towns are suddenly scratchedoff the list of open towns very oftenthe embargo is clamped on so suddenlythat passengers are left there with
purchasedTexas Quarantined
It was said at the marine hospital offlee that passengers from New Orleanswere no longer permitted to travel inTexas and only the most insignificantstations are to Louisiana Quaran-tines have been established so thorough
along1 the line of some roadscards bearing bold black letters havebeen posted the ticket office andannouncing that all tickets bought forpont out of are pur-chased at the purchasers risk and sub-ject to the of quarantine
Local representatives of lines which runthrough Mississippi were advised telegrams today that no person from NewOrleans would be permitted to travel ona train through that state without ahealth certificate This affects throughpassengers bound for the north east andwest Before they had received
ticket offices here hadof tickets to who were
to leave tomorrow and Monday and werebusy trying to locate these ticketitt to save them fromfrom Now Orleans and thrown Into detention in the adjoining states
The Increase In the number of deathsand cases of yellow fever today Is notcausing any anxiety AH bUt one of thedead are or AustrIans who halled from the original focus of infectionoC Infection the bestto the original infection

In street paving the city is expected-o pave the street Intersections In
sidewalk extensions the city pays forthe corners and half the cost of thegrading On the face of it this doesnot appear to be much but in thewave of now sweepingover the is enough tomake the administration cry out fortime
At the present time there are thirtyfour miles of cement sidewalks that
