TM[NTS
CONFIRMED
CITY BOARD OF HEALTH HELD
SPECIAL SESSION YESTERDAY,
AND SEVERAL MATTERS WERE
DISCUSSED.

The appointment of Phillip Sanchez
and Ed Ditmars, as sanitary inspec-
tors of the city, made Friday by City
Health Officer Hays, were confirmed
yesterday by the City Board of Health,
when that body met in special session
a. noon, Chairman Hays presiding.
This was the first business trans
acted by the board. The health officer
reported that under the authority
given him by the city council to select
two additional inspectors for a period
extending through the summer months
that be had appointed Phillip Sanchez
and Ed. Ditmars, and asked for the
confirmation of his appointment This
was done immediately
The board then entered into a dis.
cussion of the sanitary condition OF
the city, and the best means to pre-
vent the spread o. diseases, and aiso
regarding the removal CT gaTba &c
The latter question was brought I'D
by the city health officer, Who stated
that he would later reccmmena to the
Board of Works another point to de-
posit this refuse as the present place
was too near residences and he though.
that il should be changed to seine
more isolated point
The stoppage of sewers was also
discussed and means to prevent the
same will shortly be brought before
The body.

JIM GROW LAW
now IN EFFECT
BUT THE coLoRED PEOPLE DID
NOT PATRoNIzE THE STREET
CARS TO ANY EXTENT YEsTER-
pAY-FlRsT ENFORCEMENT OF
NEW ACT.

The new law, relative to providing
separate compartments for white and
colored passengers upon street cars,
became effective yesterday and al
though there were but few colored
passengers patronizing the cars, the
new law worked well, and the con-
ductors had but little, if any trouble
in directing the passengers 10 the end
of the car assigned to them.
The first cars to start out yesterday
carried a number of white passengers.
who having read the new rules and
law took seats in the front end of the
cars, while the few colored passen-
gers to ride, took seats in the rear.
There were only a few instances
where the conductors we're called upon
to instruct passengers where to take
seats, and in these cases there were
no protests.
AS is known there is but little pat
ronage from heseOlored citizens at
present. but the increase in white
traffic has made up for this, and the
street cars are as we'll patronized as
before the boycott of colored residents
was begun.

BOARD OF CONTROL
IN ST. AUGUSTINE

st. Augustine, July 1.-The board of
control held a short meeting here Fri
day. There was one absent member,
DR.. A. L. Brown. The members of
the board, accompanied by the local
committee, consisting of Messrs. w.
A. MacWiiliams, ]. T. Dismukes and
A. W. COrbett, were then driven to the
Florida School for the Deaf and Blind.
The visiting board spent the entire
morning at the institute inspecting
the building and equipment, and loca-
ton generally. The members were
supplied with valuable information
which was cheerfully given in detail.
Prof. Hare and Prof. Walker of the
faculty explained the working of the
school.
Attention was called to a beautiful
tract of land adjoining the present
school grounds, which would probably
be presented as a gift by the citizens.
The members of the board were we'll
pleased, and much impressed with
what they saw and learned, but would
not, of course, commit themselves to
an opinion before their return to Tai
lahassee.
The members will leave this even
ing to continue their tour. and inspect
the other institutions committed to-
their care.

port, which gained considerable prorn-

to the most terrible crime that coulds
possibly have been committed. has
been refuted by the statement q
DIR. Skaggs and DR.. Pugh. who unhesi-

never have been repeated or brought
before the public There is no dues-
ton now but that tn crime was com

white mans crime Published reports
have been distorted, and the worst
possible version Of the awful crime
has been circulated, much to the dis.
gust of the citizens Of Miami. From
the evidence now secured Il Is boz
