 Palestine Again.
 Robert Palestine, who was not allowed by Chief Inspector Morgan to stop in Alabama Friday night, passed through Birmingham again last night but this time he was bound for points north of Ala bama.
 MT. Palestines 8 quarantine troubles con- stitute a hard luck story. He left Gin cinnati last week expecting to stop in Birmingham in time to pay off a large force of men Saturday. He had only been out of New Orleans six days, however, and the Alabama officers would not allow him to stop in the state. When he was delivered to the Mississippi officers at the state line they refused to allow him to stop in that state and sent him to the detention camp at Sldel. La. When MT. Palestine entered the boundary lines of Louisiana he again subjected himself to the quarantine rule of seven days out of the infected districts.
 Saturday night he started back to Ala bama, and the Mississippi officers would not have allowed him to get off the train in Mississippi, had he so desired. When the Alabama officers took charge of the Queen and Crescent train at Me ridian yesterday morning they found him in one of the refugee cars. which was locked He could not be allowed to stop in Alabama. as he had just left Louisiana, so he had to remain ip the car and was sent out of the state. He could not stop in Chattanooga, so Knoxville was the first place where he could possibly leave the train. He probably went to Cincinnati, where he has large business interests. He has the contract for several buildings In Birmingham.
 May Cause Trouble.
 Trouble may arise over determina- tion of the Mississippi quarantine officers not to allow any suspects going from Ala bama to Mississippi to enter that state. Several times recently people have been found on the southbound Queen and Crescent trains who had not been out of
  Der of days. They were not allowed to stop in Alabama but were sent on through to Mississippi. The authorities of that state would not allow them to stop, but sent them through to Louisiana. The Mississippi quarantine officers say that they will not allow any more suspects to come from Alabama into Mississippi, but will turn them back at the state line. This matter will probably be taken authorities of the Mississippi quarantine at Meridian. and If 1t cannot be adjusted it will probably be taken up by Governor Jelks and Governor Vardaman.
 MT. Morgan said last night:
 "The Mississippi authorities have no cause to kick. We take hundreds of sus- poets from that state every day and never turn any of them back, so why should they turn back any one from Ala lama. We send these people on through Alabama to some other state. The Mis- sissippi authorities will have to send ous on through to Louisiana.
 Caught Many Hobos.
 Quarantine officers Stanley and Dene- gere have been stationed at Gattman on the Alabama Mississippi line for several days to prevent hoboes from coming into Alabama on freight trains and under passenger coaches.
 The two officers pulled ninety hoboes off of five trains In one day, an average of eighteen hoboes to each train They were sent to the detention camps in Louisiana where they will be held, The tramps are taking advantage of the quar- antine to get arrested and sent to the detention camps where they are fed and taken care of for several days When they are released they immediately get arrested again and go back to the camps
 The two officers returned to Gattman yesterday accompanied by J. A. Oliver, one of the chief inspectors. They will remain at the station for some time look ing for tramps
