w. B. Krumbhaar, who finally agreed that he had been more than eleven days out of all districts infected with yell low fever, made the State and city quarantine officers lot of trouble yesterday afternoon and last night and was himself twice placed under arrest | by the police. So far as can be learned he did a lot of very disturbing talking about what could and could not be done in the way of evading the officers of the quarantine service. After making a thoroughly satisfying assertion to the effect that he had not been in infect ed territory within inhibited time he was allowed late in the night to go to his room. ..@ It seems that Krumbhaar came in from Atlanta some time during the day and was questioned en route by the State and city quarantine officers as to point or points of recent resi- dence. The blank of the city man shows that he answer No" when asked if he had been in fever terri tory within eleven days. To the State man he said he had not been in such places within the specified ume. | Late in the day the report was brought to City Supervisor James Sul- livan that Krumbhaar had been doing a lot of talking in Taylor Gibson's saloon to the effect that any man had only to leave fever places and go to AtIanta for two days. After which he could come into Montgomery without molestation.
 According to the reports of the com versation the impression was given that the quarantine was pretty poor sort of an affair, and could be evaded without trouble.
 | The reports of the talk of Krumb- haar soon spread over the city and caused the greatest uneasincss Ru- nor had 1t that man just out of New Orleans had been allowed to come in and that he had said the quarantine could be gotten around without difti- culty.
 On the suggestion of Supervisor sul- liVan officers were sent by Sanitary Inspector John Farley to arrest Krumb- haar. He was soon located and talk en to the city hall. Here he stated that he had sworn the truth in his statements to the inspectors and had no intention to make a fuss, and on such showing was allowed to go.
 Ere long the disquieting stories be- came again circulated, in which 1t was asserted that Krumbhaar had spoken disparagingly of the whole quarantine plans.
 These new rumors had no sooner reached the ears of Supervisor Sulli- l van than he had Special Officers Mo Dade and Jackson again take Krumb- haar into custody and escort him to the police station. Here he reiterated the statement that he had been out of New Orleans more than the required time and also asserted anew that he had no desire to cause trouble for the of- ficers or uneasiness on the part of the people.
 | Inasmuch as he had been arrested once the officers were not willing to take more chances. He was. therefore told that unless he made good he | would be locked up. This he did by signing the following statement. after which he was allowed to go his way
 T do hereby state that if l did make any remarks to the effect that it was easy for any party or parties including myself to go from infected districts to Atlanta, Ga. or any other place, and remain for two or three days and then come into the State oi Alabama or the city of Montgomery and with ease evade both city and State quarantine officers made an un- true statement.
 l T further state that I was interro- gated by the State and city quarantine officers and did make sftidaylt that
