New Orleans, Oct. 19.—The rail roads are today announcing low rates from all of the surrounding country for the President's visit, and this is expected to give assistance to break ing up the quarantines against New Orleans, because of the widespread desire of Louisianians and Missis- sippians to see the president. The implicit confidence placed in the Federal medical officials Is also hav ing effect. As it is, quarantines nave been re laxed sufficiently or lifted entirely by enough communities to permit larg numbers of country people to come here.

The drummers are going firs, to the sections which have removed restrictions and from these sections will proceed to their respective ter ritories.

New Oi leans, Oct. 19.—The recent cold spell, with frost thirty miles north of New Orleans and reaching even down to the coast line in Mis sissippi has resulted in a general loosening up of quarantines and though many communites remain on the side caution, others have wholly withdrawn the ban and many more have modified restrictions to the de gree of requiring only health certi ficates. New Orleans has now come to be regarded with less apprehen sion than Pensacola or Patterson, La., for instance, where, In striking contrast to the metropolis, the xno- squito theory was derided and no sanitary precautions taken until very recently. Dr. White, United States Marine Hospital Surgeon in charge, has made a very interesting review of the work of the government here and among other things said: “There has been no frost nor an approach to that much desired visi tation and yet the figures are drop ping—not as rapidly as we could wish—but with gratifying certainty toward the vanishing point. And this, when it Is borne In mind that the City of New Orleans has not quarantined against any Infected point to any greater extent than to put on an observation of persons arriving from those points, and that many infected persons have come here and been taken sick in,the City.
