No Mosquito Pest at sparrow's Point
Remarkably Good Heath Prevails There.
Among the many strides of progress that
have been made in that thriving town on the
Patapsco, Sparrow's Point, where the plant of
the Maryland Steel Company is situated, none
has been greater nor deserves commentator
more than the measures taken by the officials
of the steel company to insure healthful con-
ditions says the Baltimore SIM.
Not only is there water supply from deep
artesian wells and sewerage system, but the
crusade which has been waged Increasingly
for years against the mosquito has achieved
remarkable results. The marshes and pools
which were in the locality when the town site
was laid out have been filled in with cinder
and blast furnace Stag, the latter poured into
the pools in molten conditiOn--an effectively
destructive agent of insect life and one not
within the reach of the average town of 900
inhabitants. This fillingin has been going
on for years until now there is hardly pool
the size of a mans hand on the company
property.
The residents of Sparrow's Point are not in:
convenienced by mosquitoes and are able all
summer long to enjoy their porches.
DR.. j. S. Woodward, who has been the CHIEF
resident surgeon for the Maryland Steel Com
pany IS years, says:
Typhoid fever cases are almost unknown
at Sparrow's Point. This year we have not
had single case, while the disease has been
prevalent all over the State. What few cases
have been at the Point have been imported by
men coming here seeking employment from
different places. Those cases which have
come to my attention, with few exceptions,
did not originate here. We have bad cases
which did originate here, but they are moi
greater in number than in any other town oil
like size in the same latitude; in fact, the
number is below the average"
For the last six years the death rate at Spar.
rows Point has been below eight persons IN Q
thousand, remarkably low record.

the police are looking for Hon. W. R. Alex

Consul in Baltimore to the effect that his

WAR ON The WHITES.
MANY INCENDIARY SPEECHES
At AFRo-AMERICAN COUNCIL.
Trouble Coming, Says the Rev. George
Lee in .Lauding the Black Race.
Tillman and Dixon Condemned.

ql1e determination Of the colored
people to fight for equal rights
throughout the country and their
protest against race riots, such as At
lanta, Ca, experienced two weeas ago.
were loudly voiced at the ninth an
nual session Of the National Afro
American Council, which opened yes
terday at st. Marks Methodist Ep;s-
}copal church in West Fifty-third
street
The session will continue until
Thursday night The principal object
Of the gathering in the raising Of
money for testing the Jim Crow laws
and the disfranchisement laws which
exist in nearly all the Southern States.
In most of the speeches at the af-
ternoon session bitter resentment
was shown against the discrimination
against the negro in the South.
The Rev. George W. Lee, a colored
minister from Washington, went so
far as to say that if he had the power
he would use force against the whites
to prevent a repetition of the Atlanta
riots.
81 preached peace after the Atlanta
riots" he said, "but don't misunder-
stand me. 1t was prudence, not my
religion If I had the power to stop
that kind of thing, even by force, I'd
use it. A man told me short time
ago that race prejudice in the South
was melting.
"It must have begun said, "since
1 left Atlanta the other day. I
thought it was congealing then"
"In the South they are scehming
all the time to keep the negro down,
but tell you he IS bound to rise.
Just so certain as they keep this thing
up in the South something is going to
happen. The trouble is all one-sided
now. Trouble never stays on one side.
There's going to be trouble on the
other side pretty soon.
Somebody has said that the negro
race i dying out. No, gentlemen, I
have no fear along that line. We're
ten million strong, and we're here to
register our solemn protest against
the treatment we are receiving in this
country.
I'VE are disseminated against, not
because we're uneducateG, not be-
cause we're incapable of culture, but
it's because we are distinct race. We
were once held in bondage. We're not
a criminal class The negroes have
proved their use and loyalty to the
American people. Now we ask them
to regulate our condition. We're tired
of this kind of treatment. and we
want to know how much longer the
American people are going to scatter
to the four winds that section of the
Constitution which calls for equal
rights for all, regardless of color, race
or previous condition"

of the city was delivered by ex-Corpo
