Twenty four new deaths from Infantile paralysis were reported this mor ning, making; a total of 154 since the first caaue was discovered. One hundred and thirty-three new hum were reporu-d today. NEW YORK. JiiU 6. The Infan tile paralysis epidemic apparently had spread to nearby cities today. In the meanwhile It showed its greater viru lence in New York itself. Cases were reported so fast through the night that the health bureau announced this morning It had not completed com pilations of the number of victims or the cases. More than 600 cases have been re ported since the epidemic started. The moM sinister fact is that the mortal ity exceeds all previous records. Twenty-five, per cent -if the cases have been fatal. The health bureau will ask for the issuance of special bunds to defray the expenses of fighting the plague. Experts fear the epidemic will not spend itself for a month. Infantile Paralysis attains Its greatest virulence In August. An emergency call for nurses, physician and volunteer san itation workers has leen issued. Churches have been asked to close Sunday schools ami discontinue picnic plans. SPRINGFIELD, 111.. July 6. The outbreak of infantile paralysis today assumed alarming proportions in Il linois. Additional cases were discov ered in Franklin Ford and La Salle loc unties, following an outbreak in j Putnam county, Though the cases are Widely separated, the board of health believes they all are of the , simie origin.

WASHINGTON, July 6 Cattle production in the western states should increase in the next few years, the agricultural department estimat ed today It was expected that the increased efficiency would more than offset any lessening in free range It Is estimated that there is 34S bil- Hen feet of privately owned timber in j Oregon west of the Cascade range, and 27(1 billion feet in Washington. The national forests contain 162 billion I feet, making for the west side Of the two states a total stand of timber esti mated at 70 billion board feet. Resider IV Get Exce ater for I1 ng Lawns COMMITTEE) IS APPOINTED WORK ON PLAN FOB THE SUMMER MONTHS. Ill For the purpose of devising some plan for giving to the people the ex cess water of the municipal system during the summer months without additional cost, a committee, consist ing of Councilmen Taylor. Penland and Phelps, was appointed last even ing to confer with the water commis sion. Mayor Rest suggested that the wa ter, now going through the waste pipe ai the Intake, be turned into the sys tem and that it be divided on a per centage basis among the users of Pendleton His plan was to have lo cal users pledge themselves to pay the same water rent month by month as last year and then give them their proportion of the excess. This is exactly the same plan as ad apted last -year by the water commis sion and it failed to work out satis factorily. The only water user in the city to take advantage of It was Com missioner C. P. Strain. The majority y ere opposed to pledging themselves tn paying the same as the year before, regardless of weather conditions, up on the chance of getting an extra am ount of water gratis.. At the meeting last evening the council passed the ordinance provid ing for fees for city foreclosures. The bawdy house ordinance. Introduced a week ago. was not brought up. Residents of Maple and Pine streets cnmplalned that all of the people of that section were not connecting with the sewer as provided by ordinance nnd I'ouncilman Phelps reported that the matter would be attended to. Four bids for flushing the streets were opened last evening. Beck & Williamson, present holders of the contract, bid $349 or Just one dollar less than 0, T. Meeker. Irving Wilkes bid J300 per month and W. A. Hoag- land underbid him just two cents. The bids were nut passed upon, the coun cil deciding to postpone action pend ing n conference with the present con tractors.

Carranza's Note Will Pave Way to Withdraw Troops RKPI.Y iS NOW BEING PREPARED TO HE SENT TO THE DE -At TO HEAD. WiMlINGl'ON, July 6 The puni tive expedition will not withdraw from Mexico merely because of Car ranza's irlendly note, it was officially stated There were Indications that the dicument paved the way for a discuhs on which ultimately would end in withdrawal ; nd the establishment of bord-r patrols. Any withdrawal is lontiugert upon Carranxax's demon stration of his ability to police north ern Mexico. Thuugh convinced that danger of a war with Mexico has passed, the de pat tment today clung to the original intention to send all the militiamen to the border. Although it was sug gested that the forces not already en trained might remain in mobilisation camps, the department stated there was no change in the plans. After a conference with the presi dent. L-insing taid a reply would be sent to Carranr.i soon and negotia tions opened. Wilson and Lansing thoroughly dis cussed -he contents of a reply to Car-ranz-j's note. They would not reveil an Inkling of its contents. Aguilar issued a statement to the Mexican people today that he expect ed a completely satisfactory solution of all questions between Mexico and the L'nlted States without Injury to the prime interests of the Mexican re public." This information was ca bled to Arrendondo EL PASO. July 6 The bodies of Captain Boyd, Lieutenant Adair and seven negro troopers arrived from Juarez on the undertaker's special train.

Starving women of San Luis Potosl, in a riot, when refused food, cried "Mav Hod send the grlngoes," declared ad vices reaching Pershing. Soldiers quelling the outbreak severely beat the women. Reports that gold Is being paid to peons for work ana supplies are in contrast with the virtual confiscation of foodstuffs by the defacto forces and the increased dissatisfaction among the Mexicans. It was reported that Carranzistas are overrunning the country', seizing everything valuable and forcing the acceptance of the de preciated fiat currency. Principal Mexican cities are doling out corn to gaunt women and children The supply at San Luis Potosi was ex hausted recently and hundreds of women marched to the governor's palace demanding food.
