 HIS RESIGNATION Or. Sanders Requested it Here Yesterday Afternoon TO APPOINT SUCCESSOR No Explanation Has Been Made By pr. sanders-BrasselI Is In
 Charge Temper
 arlIy.

pr. w. Fl. Sanders, state health officer, sprung sensation in local quarantine circles yesterday afternoon by requesting the resignation of Chief Inspector B.. Frank Yoe.
 The request came very unexpectedly to all save a few, and as yet Dr. Sanders has not made any public explanation of the reason for his action. However, to friend in the city he stated that Mir Toe had had trouble with the other in- spectors and that things had not gone on here to suit him.
 pr. Sanders had conference yester- day afternoon at the Metropolitan hotel with one or two of the inspectors under MT. Toe, and they explained the troubles which had occurred
 Immediately after the conference Dr. Sanders saw MT. Voc at the Union pas senger station and told him that his services would not be needed for while, and stated that he would explain later by letter He said he did not have time to do so then as he had to catch train
 MT. Toe at once wrote out his resigna- tion, which was forwarded to Montgom- cry last night. The resignation took ef- feet immediately and Chief Inspector oli- yer, who has been travelling over the state from point to point on the quaran- tine business, was placed temporarily in charge of the office.
 BrasselI Took Charge.
 Walter Brassell, chief clerk to Dr. San ders, arrived in the city last night and took charge of the office. He will probably appoint a successor to Mir. Toe this morn ing. He has one or two applications for the place.
 MT. Voc was given an opportunity yes. terday afternoon to make statement re- garding the matter, but refused to do so, further than to say
 'The conversation with Dr. Sanders was very unsatisfactory. He told me that my services would not be needed temporarily and l immediately resigned permanently. No cause was assigned by him for his acton.'
 It was impossible to secure state ment from Dr. Sanders before he left the city, and after he reached Montgomery he refused to make one. The following  last night:
 Montgomery, August S.-(Speeial)- pr. Sanders, when asked tonight why he re- moved B. Frank Voc, quarantine super visor at Birmingham, said;
 "Yes, removed MT. Toe today while in Birmingham but do not care to make any statement explaining my reasons. felt that such action was for the best and in the interest of the maintenance, of the quarantine at it's highest efficiency" Fur ther than this the doctor would not talk. Dr. Sanders said he had not taken up the matter of trouble between Inspector Brassel and Sleeping Car Conductor Me- Ness, nor did he make any new attempt in this trip to get Birmingham to raise the quarantine against Montgomery
 Papers Turned Over. Mir Toe still retains his position as chief inspector for the county, and has the usual number of men at work on the trains coming into the county from Mont gomery.
 The state quarantine papers, pay rolls and all other data was turned over last night to Mir Brassell, who will remain here until the force is reorganized and is again running smoothly. He said last night:
 | q do not know why Dr. Sanders took 1 that action. 1 did not see him and he merely left me instructions to take charge of the situation and appoint another man as chief here. have a conference in the morning with couple of men and l will name one at that time. | We have perfected the system all over the state now The only railroads that were not covered fully were in the north- ern part of the state, and have just returned from those points where aided the local inspectors in getting their work | systematized."
 | Dr. Sanders was in the city yesterday in conference with the physicians here regarding quarantine matters. He stated before leaving that the one patient in Montgomery was practically well and that it would be perefctly safe for Jefferson county to raise the quarantine against 1 Montgomery.
 | The president of the board stated that he had never seen any use in having the
