PRATT CITY ACTS AT LAST
Quarantine Restriction Taken Off
Yesterday at II O'clock.
NO DANGER SAYS THE MAYOR
For the Citizens of Pratt City TO Visit Biz
mIngham and Then Go Back Home
Every One Vaccinated.

The municipalities adjacent to Biz
mingham are realizing the utter ludi-
crousness of quarantine measures and
one town is following another in abolish
ing the absurdity.
A big placard in front of the office
of the Birmingham Railway and Electric
company announced yesterday that the
quarantine at Pratt City had been rails
ed. Pratt City was among the first to
quarantine against Birmingham. An at
tempt was made to have the quarantine
raised several weeks ago. A meeting
was held to discuss the question and
delegation from the board of aldermen
and hsalth board of this city attended
upon invitation. The meeting was not
like deep calm at sea and came near
ending in broil.
The quarantine was conducted in a
very unsatisfactory way, it being COM
mon talk that certain parties could enter
the corporate limits at WILL The Pratt
City board of aldermen held a meeting
yesterday morning to act on the matter.
The question provoked much discussion,
but the majority of votes were for rails
ing the quarantine. At IL o'clock the
force of officers and guards. who had
served voluntarily, were taken off duty.
1--WE feel no apprehension of the dis
ease spreading from Birmingham" said
Pratt City's mayor in discussing the
question. 'In my opinion and that of
the physicians here there is absolutely no
danger attached to the people of Pratt
City visiting Birmingham. We feel per-
fectly easy over the situation. 1t is also
true that many citizens have expressed
the opinion all along that a quarantine
was perfectly absurd. This declaration
was made at a public meeting held here
some weeks ago."
This is the prevailing opinion over the
little city. The citizens have at last
realiz;d the absurdty of quarantine meas
ures. Everyone has been vaccinated,
the sanitary condition of the little town
has been Investigated and close watch
will be kept ON all stragglers. Accord
ing to the physicians this has bsen the
means of the spread of the disease.
The enforcing of the quarantine at
Pratt City has cut the traffic on the dunn
my line to a minimum figure and has
caused the loss of thousands of dollars
to Birmingham merchants. Thousands
of dollars are turned loose by the mining
companies operating at Pratt City. Much
of this money finds it's way to Bir1ning-
ham and forms an important part of the
trade of the retail merchants. The quar-
antine has been in force about six weeks
and the big loss attached to this foolish
measure can be seen at a glance. The
last pay day at the mines was last Sat-
urday.

THREE COANCTS AT LARGE
White Man and Two Negroes
Work a Clever Ruse
ON THE COALBURG GUARDS
They Complained Of Illness and Were Sent Off
to Rest-lnstead Of This They Took
French Leave.

Three convscts escaped yesterday
shortly afternoon. two of them from
Coalburg and the other from Pratt minas.
Shortly after noon w. w. Thompson,
a white man, who was working in an opsn
field at Coalburg, complained to the
guards that he was s-ized with pains that
forestalled chills. He asked permission
to rietire and was told to go to the hos
pital He left the field, Fvhere ne was
prowing but never reached the hospital.
His escape was not discovered until some
time after, wnen the company's dogs were
placed on the trail.
About an hour after Thompson's escs pc
VIII Turner, a r.sgro employed in the
same field, complained of being i'll. He
was tcpd to go over 10 a clump of bushes
and rest. He went to the bushes, but
cred in a short time and the dogs from
the sheriff's office were sent on the trail.
Deputy Sheriff Tom Jones' was in
charge of the dogs, and, while holly pur-
suing Turner, he took up another trail
that proved to have been made by an
escape from Pratt minss. HIS halted long
enough to send a message to the sheriff's
office, and said that he thought the q 1t
man would soon be captured as the trail
was still fresh.
Inquiry developed the fact that me-
gro named Burke, who had been sent up
from Jefferson county, had escaped from
the minlss at Pratt City between IL and
o'clock. 1t was sta ted that he was = n
fenced to fifteen years in the mines, but
the records of the criminal court in this
city showed that a negro by thai name
had BEEN given ten years.
Thompsoa, the white man, is said to be
about so years old, with dark skin and
gray hair. He was sent up from Colbert
county.
Will Turner, the other Coalburg escape,
is young negro. about Is years old He
Is well known in this city. Very little is
known about Burke, the Pratt mines es-
cape. He was sent up from this city.
AT late hour last night no word Y ID
been received at the sheriff's office to tho
effect that either of the men had been re-
captured.
AT late hour last night the members
of the police force were furnished with
a description of the negro, VIII Burlls,
who escaped from Pratt mines shortly
after noon. He was closely pursued by
Deputy Tom Jones and others into
Knightcmfs quarters, near Oak Hill Gene
try. There all trace of him was lost
and 1t is thought he boarded a car at that
point and came into the city. A close
lookout was kept for him. but il was I'M
