DAVENPORT DOTS.

Sold Whisky to MarshaI.-It was a
bitter mistake for Fred Sweet when he
attempted to sell a bottle of bootleg
gers bourbon to United States Deputy
Marshal Matteson ON a Milwaukee
train coming from Muscatine Tuesday
evening. The deputy invested quar-
ter in bottle of whisky and then,
throwing back his coat TO expose the
badge of authority, took the man into
custody. He was taken from the train
at Davenport and spent the night in
the local jail. AT a hearing before
United States Commissioner A. G..
Bush he was bound over TO the federal
grand jury which meets in Davenport
April 23, the bail bond, which he was
unable TO furnish, being fixed at 5000.

to learn anything concerning canal op-
erations from the officials. Those who
are in the service of the government
will say nothing, and the statements of
those who have left the service for
one cause or another. are condemned
as the plants of the soreheads. Here
is case in point: Captain C. V.
Crowell. one of the commissary Off
cials at Cristobal, had talked with me
concerning the conditions at Colon
and had invited me to participate at
his mess" to which belonged several
of the employees of the commissary de-
partment. The day and hour were ar
ranged. but 10, Captain CrowelI and his
mates discovered that I was here on
newspaper business, and l was re-
quested not to come, as my appear-
ance would be embarrassing to the
party. What an excellent opportunity
is here presented for the ascertain
ment of facts. :.

and sanitary experts, kindly offer to

purchased now than at any similar
period of past years. These apparently
conflicting reports call attention to the
ease with which vital statistics may be
juggled in Colon and Cristobal.
Colon, it must be remembered, is
almost childless The joyous laughter
of the youngsters is not as prevalent
as it might be- Neither has Colon
many persons bent with old age. This
applies with equal force to the entire
canal zone. which is essentially land
of matured men and women The la
borers and their women usually are in
the prime oflife. They are best fitted
to resist disease. Among many of the
government employees, few have
brought wives, taking warning at the
cabled statement of Chairman Shonts.
of the canal commission, that he would
resign his position if compelled to
bring his wife to the isthmus.
Because of this condition, the NOR
tality cannot be compared with that Of
any other city. Furthermore, when an
American begins to feel ill and played
out, he straightway boards an out-
bound steamer and returns as fast as
possible TO his native heath Thus the
vital statistics of Colon are robbed OF
another entry. The same rule applies
to great extent among. the negroes
that are returning to their island homes
at the rate of $500 month. | have
been told by friends of those leaving
that they (the departing ones) have
been feeling bad for some time prior
to their sailing, and had been keeping
themselves up on quinine. These
cases are not reported to the health
officials, and thus the statistics again
suffer All of this is through no fault
of the health department, but goes to
show that figures sometimes lead one
astray.
