DISMISSES TWO MEN.
MOBILE MAYOR SENDS ORDER TO
 POLICE.
New Rule Is . Surprise To Mobile PafroImen, Who Are Said To Have Abused the Chiefs
 Leufeucy.

Mobile, Sept. 1s-(Special.)-Con- sternation struck police headquarters tonight when orders from Mayor Lyons dismissing two police officers and sus- pending another, and also stopping immediately the service of arr sting officers going home at Seo'clock each mornng, were read to the officers at roll call.
 The suspension of officer Lee is not unexpected, as he was recently the subject of an investigation into an ai- legged insult to two young women. The Mayor received letters stating that the police officer was not wholly to blame and the suspension instead of a dismissal was the result
 The Mayor also reprimanded the ofh- cials for officers being allowed to so on their beats without being properly equipped.
 The dfscontinuance of the service al- lowing one of the officers on every beat to go home at o'clock each morning an arrest is made, came as the greatest surprise although 1t was known that the practice was being abused.
 The orders in full are as follows:
 Mobile. Ala,
 September 19. 1908. "captain E. T. Rondeau. Chief of Po-
 lice. City.
 Dear Sir:-
 You will please discharge onicers Leon Delhomme and J. Y. Shaw, IT., for violation of police regulations. Suspend oficer J. H. Lee for pe- riod of thirty days for conduct unbe- coming an off1qer.
 "Transfer from the supernumerary to the regular roll officers J. R. Giddon and James Barclay.
 Upon investigation find that offi- cers are sometimes not properly equipped when they co on duty. In future, at roll call. you will please see that officers have on their person. po- lice and fire alarm cards, keys to the police and ire alarm boxes, badges and clubs. Any oficer not properly equip ped in this respect to so on duty. you will please drop from the ranks, re- porting the matter to me.
 T find also that the general rule al- lowing night officers who make arrests to go of duty at 3 am, in order that they may without hardship appear in the Recorders Court. is being abused; and you will therefore. effective imme- diately cancel this rule and require all officers to remain on duty the entire scheduled time.
 Respectfully your,
 "Pat !. Lyons,
 Mayor"

 Propeller Blades Flew off With Tre-
 mendous Crash and Alarmed Pas-
 sengera Who Filled all Her
 Cabins.
 New York. Sept, 19.-For more than half an hour last Wednesday. the great turbine steamer. Mauretania, with all her cabins filled with frightened pas sengers. rolled and pitched helpless ly in mid-ocean, with waves constant ly breaking over her decks. She had run into the storm hours before but had been kept under headway until one of her propeller blades flew off with a crash that alarmed nearly every one on board.
 So tremendous was the force of the blow which the Ioosened propeller dealt the ship that the whole middle section of the steamer seemed to rise. the flooring buckled until the tacks from the carpet were hurled against the cell ings, and passengers were thrown about the cabins. The engines were stopped at once and the ship, losing her way, began to wallow in the trough of the seas. while the passen- gers besieged the captain to tell them the nature of the accident. The excite ment did not subside until the steamer started once more on her way.
 An examination disclosed that the adjoining the propeller shafts was filled with water. It is be- lieved that the detached propeller blade stove hole in the steamers bottom.
 The severe. weather continued throughout the voyage.
