Mobile Admits Fruit Vessels Shut
Ont by New Orleans.
New Orleans, July pa peculiar con-
dtion arises as a result of resent sickness
in Port Limon, Costa Rica. DR.. Will H.
Woods, who represents the Louisiana
board at Port Limon, cabled that there
was one case and several suspected cases
of fever there. The health board noti-
fled the fruit ships that they would be
compelled to lighter their cargo nine miles
below the city, involving cost of an ad-
ditional thousand dollars on each ship
The United Fruit Company therefore
ordered Its vessels 10 Mobile. The Louis
lana board explained the case to the Ala
bama authorities, but the latter are rep
resented at Port Limon by the marine
hospital surgeon, who denies emphatically
that there is any fever there. the Mobile
bay board accordingly refused to quaran-
tine.
As Mobile is only a few hours from here
by rail this practically nulihes the Louis
lana precautionary measures and creates
a unique situation.

the effect that the man came to his

John Regain testified that he was en-
ployed at the Rose mine. and that on
Oct. Goth he found Drummy unconscious
in the mine. When the injured man re-
gained consciousness he asked how far
he had fallen. Witness was unable to
tell him. Mr.. Regain was of the opinion
that Drunlmy had fallen from a ladder
on which he had climbed to do some
work. Frank Hunter. deputy state mine
inspector, said hat he thought the lag
ging was not loose. Edwin Cantrell
thought Dummy was examining the

said the piece of tagging which is sup
posed to have struck the man. was lying
eight or ten feet from Dummy when

for congress-. and Mr.. ParteloW, candi-
date for superintendent of public
schools, delivered addresses along so
c~ialistic lines, which Were we'll received.
The address of Mr.. Fox was inter-
esting, and among other things he
claimed that the average wages of the
workingman in this country was $1.1O
per day, while he produced articles to
the value of S7.S5. The American work
ingman could not. however. buy this
$7.85 worth of goods with the $1.1O he
received for his work..
Mr.. Fox is undoubtedly an expan-
sionist, although he is a member of a
democratic party. He said:

der consumption or over production
which ever you may call it. But the
question is whether the republican polio!
of producing markets outside of thi:
country is the right one"
