FEW DEAD BODIES NOW.
Debris Has Been Turned Over and Men
will Be Laid Off
THE MEN ARE NEEDED FOR OTHER WORN
They VIII Have No Trouble in Find
ing Plenty of Employment, for
There Is Much to he Done.

Galveston. Texas. October L. Jens
Moller, who has charge of the clearing
away OF the debris and disposing OF dead
bodies. stated this afternoon that the
danger from an epidemic has now passed.
Nearly all the debris has been turned
over and very few dead bodies remain.
On account of the fact that the present
method OF prosecuting the work is very
expensive. he discharged 1000 men tonight
in order to reduce the expenses About
500 men will be retained. this number
being deemed sufficient to keep the city
in good sanitary condition.
The men who have been discharged to-
night Will have no difficulty in obtaining
employment in the city. The Galveston
Wharf company alone has offered eni
ployment to 800 of them and the railroads
and contractors will readily find EN-
ployment for the remainder OF them.
Many persons will be glad to hear OF
MIR, Moler's decision. The commerce OF
the port is suffering because of the
scarcity of labor. Somehow men Will
work better for private employers than
for the public. Mr.. Moller has done very
We'll all things considered, very well in
deed but II is Characteristic of mankind
TO take it bit easy when the general
public is boss.
There Is great deal OF work to be
done along the wharf front. Railroad
tracks are to be cleared and rebuilt,
warehouses are 10 be restored. ships are
to be loaded, cars are to be unloaded.
Freight has been delayed because of the
inability to secure labor to clear all TIE
tracks and load all the ships.
