forces in the island against the disease bearing
mosquitoes When the Army of Cuban Pac1cation
occupied the island the medical officers turned their
attention TO the health of the community. It
found that Cuban sanitation was lax, and there
had been woful negligence in all the cities and
towns. It has required considerable work of the
most radical sort to remove this menace of dis
ease and in Santiago local resistance of the meas

with the development Of the work. But all

OFFICERS BOUND BY LEASES--An officer of
the engineer corps stationed at a Southern port
was recently ordered to make a change of station
and he found himself with house his hands
which he had leased for period ending in Octo-
The officer made the novel proposition TO the
War Department that inasmuch as he had been
ordered from his post, the department provide
legal representative to contest the expected suit
the landlord for the rest of the rent for the
contract period of the lease. He stated that on
account Of his orders TO change station he would
be present to attend to the matter and desired
the War Department to assume that responsibility.
Provision is made by statute under which the De
partment Of Justice viii furnish legal services to
officers Of the government where arise in
connection with the discharge of public duties but
there is law regulation providing for such
services where the matter is entirely of personal
and private nature. The judge advocate general
has called attention to the fact that where a man
leases a house for a fixed term he is responsible
for the rent whether he occupies the house not
unless the lease provides to the contrary. It is
admitted that the officer labols under a hardship
when ordered q change station while his lease has
Yet some time run. but this is a hardship which
the law of landlord and tenant does not recognize

BAND CONCERT.

Quite a nice attendance, and, under
the circumstances, really creditable
entertainment were factors conducive
to the success of the first concert Civ
en- by the Bohemian Club Band last
evening at City Park. The band rem
dered a number of-the popular selec-
tons and the appreciation of the
crowd which had gathered was mani
tested in enthusiastic applause. The
musical organization, which is, from
indications, destined to become a val
liable entertainment adjunct to Bryan,
has made a request on the city coun-
ell for the erection of band stand in
the park, having in view the rendition
of a regular Friday evening program,
This is an enterprise worthy of the ut
most consideration and their request
is entirely reasonable, taking into con
sideration the public amusement and
other benefits to accrue from the
weekly entertainments.

TO HANG SLAYER OF PRIEST.
Giuseppe Ala, an italian Will Hang
the Coming Week.

h'C NSH''S WV"
Denver, Col, July 10.-Unless there
is an unexpected reprieve, Giuseppe
Ala. the murderer of Father Leo
Heinrichs, will be executed during the
coming week Preparations for the
hanging are now being made at the
State prison at Canon City.
The crime for which Ala is to pay
the death penalty was committed in
st. Elizabeths Roman Catholic Church
in this city at early mass Sunday
morning, February %, the time being
about 6 o'clock. Ala knelt with the
worshipers at the foot of the altar and
Father Heinrichs placed the sacred
wafer of the communion on his tongue,
As he did so Ala gave an exclamation
and drew revolver from his hip peck
ct. Placing the muzzle of the revolver
close to the priests robe, Ala pulled
the trigger. AS the shot rang through
the church Father Heinrichs stagger:
cd and then fell between two women,
one on each side of the murderer.
"My Bod, my God, to Thee COM
mend my SOUL cried the stricken
priest as he fell. He had been pierre
ed through the heart by the bullet
and died almost instantly.
Waving the revolver above his head,
Ala started down the main aisle to
the church door. There was confusion
in the congregation, and the Italian
might have escaped but for Daniel
Grimm, a police patrolman, who threw
himself on the assassin. Others came
to the patrolman's rescue and Ala
was quickly overpowered. He was
hurried to the police station and then
to the county jail A few hours later,
when popular Indignation became so
manifest that it was feared Ala would
be lynched, he was put aboard train
and locked up in Colorado Springs.
Within two weeks of the commission
of his crime the Italian was tried and
convicted and given death sentence.
