This speaks strongly for the sanitary condition of the city. it being an indisputable fact that Mobile today is one of the cieanest, If not the cleanest city in the South. be- ing blessed with an excellent supply of the finest and purest water, with sewerage system second to none. sup plemented by very efficient work on the part of the sanitary committee formed to make the life of the ste- gomyia fasciata miserable.

Few cities are bless ed with such a competent. energetic and willing band of Quarantfne officers. who while strictly protecting the ter rftory under them have done so with courtesy to all and have avoided giving offense to any Frequent comments have been made by returning citizens and travellers upon the manner in which the Alabama quarantine guards. from train inspectors up. have endeavored to render the needfui restrictions as little discomforting to the traveller as pos sible.

Better Treatment of Police.

Tt Is to be sincerely hoped that the incoming city administration and City Council will pursue more liberal policy toward the police department" said well-known citizen of Montgom- cry. For one I am wearied with criticisms of this department by Coun- ell members, who will not vote to give a city with 10000 population more than fifty members of the police force, refuses to compel officials to put a patrol wagon into service and forEets that a police alarm system and Der tiilion system of measurement Is abso- lutely essential to a modern force of law enforcers.
 II am intimately familiar with the working of the Montgomery police force and I don't know a set of men more ambitious as a whole to make records for themselves. They are handicapped in every way by the legis- lative department and get no credit for their labors.
 T notice that an Alderman criticised the department for allowing a dope fiend to die in cell for lack of dope. I wonder If that Alderman knows that dozens of prisoners contract fatal diseases in the city prison for lack of sunlight, lack of sanitation. lack of ventilation, and lack of a new tin roof on the building? This Is a subject the Aldermen should look into"

FOR IMPEDING A
DEPUTY MARSHAL
Alleged Beef Trust Inquiry Halted
to Return Four Indictments.
WITNESS WAS SENT TO CANADA
Three OF Those Indicted Are EN-
ployes of the Schwarzchild ~
Sulzbcrger Company, the Other
the COmpany's Attorney.

Chicago, April 14.-Four men, three
OF whom are employees Of the Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger company, and the
other an attorney for that corporation,
were named in the Indictment returned
Thursday afternoon by the federal
grand jury which is investigating the
beef trust. 1t is charged that the -four
men INSTRUCTED and impeded Deputy
Marshal A. A. Bach in his efforts to
serve a subpoena upon Edwin B. Fish,
a clerk employed by the company who
recently returned from Canada. The
men indicted are:
Joseph Weissenbach, attorney for the
Schwarzchild & Sulzberger company.
B. S. Cusey, traffic manager for the
company.
George D. Hopkins, auditor for the
company,
Leo S. Joseph, employed in the pro-
vision department of ~the-concern.
The indictment alleges that a sub
poena was issued for Fish on March
3; that it was given to Bach for serv-
ice; that the four men had arranged
for the departure Of Fish from this
country to Canada and assisted him in
leaving the jurisdiction of the court.
Attorney Weissenbach, who was for
several years an assistant to Gov. De-
neen when the latter was states attor-
ney in Chicago, declares that it was at
his instance that Fish returned from
Canada and agreed to go before the
grand jury. This is not denied by the
government officials. Weissenbach
also declares that he has never seen or
spoken to Hopkins, never spoke to
Cusey concerning Fish, and asserts
that Joseph was never in any manner
interested in the matter.
The men were taken into custody
shortly after the return of the indict-
ments and we're released in bonds of
$1,000 in each case.

BREAKS OLD TRADITIONS
President Roosevelt Gracefully Rec
ognizes the Vice. president.
Has Designated Him to Act ms His
Personal Representative Mt Pub
lie Functions mt the Capital.

Washington, April 15.-7resident
Roosevelt always has been a breaker
of traditions, but his most recent act
in this direction is the most graceful
thing that hes been done in the gov
eminent service for many a long year.
He officially has recognized the vice.
president Of the United States as his
direct personal representative and has
designated him to act in name and on
behalf of the president at an official
ceremony.
Not only that, but Vice-President
Fairbanks will preside at a reception
in the White House during the abb
sence of the president in the west, and
will take charge of all these functions
at the personal request and designa-
ton of President Roosevelt himself.
1t has been seldom that a vice-presl-
dent during the merely temporary abb
sence of the president has been invited
to take charge at a public official func-
Iion in the White House, and when
they have appeared it has been as dis-
tinguished officials but not as mem
bers of the presidents White House
family.

Terrible But Mysterious MaIady That
is Sweeping Away the People
of TonOpnh, New.

Reno, New, April 15.-Hundreds of
people are flocking into Reno on the
Virginia & Truckee railroad, fleeing
frcm a sickness now prevalent at To-
nopah. Every train for a week has
been crowded. Gov. Sparks will ap-
point a special commission and send
the members to Tonopah. These men
will cooperate with the physicians of
the camp and at once begin a cam
paign to check the disease that is
moving down people at the rate from
five to twenty-five each day. Thurs
day II bodies were stretched out on
slabs in the only undertaking estab-
lishment in the camp. An equal num-
Der at least were dead around the
town. The disease strikes without
warning. The healthy are the most
susceptible, and in from twelve to
twenty-four hours are dead, the bodies
blackened by the mysterious poison
that saps their lives away.

Bradstreet's Weekly Review Notes
Generally Favorable Conditions
Retail Trade Retarded.

New York, April 15.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Spring trade at wholesale has ap-
parently passed its zenith, but re-or-
ders, especially at the west, are un-
usually good, iron consumption is un-
precedented, winter wheat promises
excellently, and the acreage in other
cereals will be large. Building and
building material are active, export
trade displays signs Of improvement,
railroad earnings show ten per cent.
Jain for March and an increase of five
per cent. for the quarter, and bank
clearings show continued heavy in
creases on last year. Retail trade is
good in sections, but has been retard-
ed by cold weather or heavy rains and
the lateness Of Easter at other points.

was something about the girl that re-
minded me strongly of Beth. Some
thing pink on her hat or around her
neck, l don't know just what, but
Beth and her pink s%unbonnet haven't
been out of my mind this afternoon"
Easter was a great day at your
house, Cousin David" remarked his
companion.
Eyes, Beth and l usually spent the
afternoon before hunting eggs and
coloring them. There were great
boxes of them behind the counter in
fathers store, but we preferred to run
over to ~grandfather's farm, a mile OF
more away, and hunt for what we
wanted; it was fun.
