TRYING TO KILL
QUARANTINE
MEASURE
Outrageous Legislative HOId-Up in
Conference Committee on
the Bill.

A Washington special to the Biz
mingham Age-Herald says:
After a short session, during which
just that much time was wasted, the
conference committee on the quaral.-
tine bill adjourned to the call of the
chairman. This means that there will
not be another conference meeting.
and the bill will die in conference if
its opponents on the committee have
their way. The whole proceeding is
just a trifie more outrageous than
any other legislative hOld-up attempt
ed in Washington in a long whilo
The bill carries 100000 tt assist the
south in keeping out the dread
scourge yellow fever. 1t was put
through the house early in the sess-
sion by the democratic leader, Rep
Tesentative Williams. Practically
the only opposition it had was from
the Texas delegation. Texas has
heretofore escaped the ravages of
yellow fever, and through the
agency of liberal quarantine laws,
has managed to get trade which was
shut out from Louisiana, Mississippi
Alabama and other states which have
been compelled to rigidly enforce
their quarantine laws during the
yellow fever epidemics. 1t Is little
short Of disgraceful that such COM
mercial influence should be exerted
when the yellow fever is liable TO
put in an appearance at any time.

Warm WOrdS--F. {. HHffaker
Jumps on StOVaII and
knight.

The municipal campaign in Tampa
has brought out some very warm
words. especially anent the Tampa
Bay Hotel deal. the last chapter be-
ing the following open letter to w.
F. Stovall by F. L. Huffaker, a well
known newspaper man:
Tampa, Fla, May %, 1906.
w. F. Stovall, Editor Tampa Morn
ing Tribune:
/ note in the morning issue Of your
paper what is probably intended as a
reply to an article appearing in the
( Times yesterday afternoon regarding
the Tampa Bay Hotel.
You reply to statements in the ar
ticle. showing that the city will. have
to pay $1,000 annual interest On the
hotel 70. the privilege of renting it to
the Tampa Bay Hotel Company for
the sum of $4,000 annually, by re-
ferring to me as a "braying jack
ass" and by saying that / am apt to
get my friend Brown into serious
d;srepute."
AS for the ''barying jackass" part
cif the magnificent argument on
subject so important to the people of
Tampa, as the remark comes from
You, l appreciate it as compliment.
Your adverse opinion convinces me
that l am approaching point that
have been trying to attain in the full
est sense of the word For twenty-six
years that Of being a gentleman.
Now, as to my getting my friend
Brown Into disrepute."
l think T. J. L. Browns record will
compare favorably with that Of any
member of the Tampa Bay Hotel com
pany I have yet met, and with those
who are not actually members of the
company but are deepl INTERESTED
therein.
You are a stakeholder Of the Tampa
Bay Hotel company. l think T. ]. l..
Browns record compares pretty vel!
with yours. Don't you?
However, I began this campaign re-
fuctantly and with fixed determine
ton to reflect upon the moral charac.
ter of no man, and l have lived up
to 1t in every article that l have
written; therefore, will cast no in
situations at you. When you and
your gang see fit to cut loose on T.
L. J. Brown, however, you can bet

jackass" will let loose just as many
uncomfortable and annoying brays as
YOU will, and probably more. I'd
rather cut OFF my right hand than to
deliberate injure anybody unless
forced to, and every man connected
with this paper is Of the same Opin-
ion. I haven't had to do anything Of
this kind yet and l don't want to.
In this connection, and contrary to
the opinion Of some of your friends,
/ have written none of the articles re-
flecting upon your immaculate friend
p O. Knight, and have not desired
to. however true the references to
that individual have been. Further,
l have never even suggested the pub
llcation of articles regarding him, nor
have l desired to. When I was en-
ployG,l by the Times was employed
to give this paper a local news SER
vice and not to dabble in politics. AS
you have read the Times since 1 be-
came connected with it, you can prob
