NEGRO, TT is TINE TO MOVE!
'Jf You Cant Move Today, You Had
Better Move Tomorrow.
WHITE CITIZENS"

Notices like the above, printed In
haring red type an inch high, vera
tackled on the houses occupied by
negroes on Twenty-sixth street and
on Virginia avenue between Twenty.
fifth street and Twenty-sixth streets
last night presumably by white citi-
Gems who live in that vicinity. A
score OF the placards were placed
en- each house, the doors. windows
end porch posts being decorated with
them.
This action follows the refusal
of the negroes to move Friday
when requested to do so by com
mittee from the whites. The white
residents are quoted as saying that
this is the last notice he negroes VIII
receive and that they had better heed
it.
Unless the negroes move out, and
that quickly. trouble In that section
seems inevitable. Several OF the
citizens said last night that the
negroes who have moved into their
section are of the rough and rowdy
sort and that their presence is un-
hearable.
Just what the negroes will do
when they wake up this morning and
find the notices is problematical, but
the white residents seem to think
that they will move out without any
further trouble.
Armed with warrants sworn out
by Detective Sergeant John w. Rey-
nolds before Justice Semmes. Ser
ycant Henry L. Bridgers and Patrol
men Griffin and johnson raided two
OF the houses occupied by the negroes
In the Virginia avenue section early
this morning and arrested six OF
them on charges of Illicit cohabita-
ton. The negroes were locked up
AT the station house to await hear
ing before Justice Brown in the
police court tomorrow morning.
The negroes arrested were: Henry
Clark, Paul Price, Lille Virgins and
Alice Jones, who live at 250s Viz
gina avenue, and George Murphy and
Mary Johnson, who live at 25l3 Vir-
ginia avenue.
After being put into the Jug. the
negroes had several fights among
themselves.

Only One Contagious or In
fictitious Disease Case.
DIR. JEFFERYS PLANS
New Officer Proposes to Distribute
xens-War on Flies and Mosquitoes
DIR. Pretlow's Final Report.


Only one case of contagious or in
fictitious disease has been reported
10 DIR. Aaron Jeffery, the city health
officer, thus far this month and that
case, which is one of typhoid fever,
developed yesterday. There were
only three cases OF contagious
disease reported last month, all three
Icing of diptheria.
The reports of the physicians to
the health Office would indicate that
health conditions in this city are bet
er this summer than they have been
IN several years. The deaths dur
ing the summer months have been
comparatively small, while. sickness
minimum.
News Officers Plans.
While II is too late for him to put
them into operation this summer, DR..
Jeffrey has some plans for the pre-
vention of the spread OF disease and
he will begin work with them next
summer. He proposes to have a lit
tie health bulletin issued and distrib-
utcd around the city telling the peo-
pie what they can do toward keep
ing disease and sickness away.
Among other things he will urge that
the housewives keep the garbage cans
closed so that flies cannot light in
the cans and carry filth and disease
into the houses.
War On Mosquitoes and Flies.
Dr. Ieffery also will make war on
mosquitoes and flies next year, as
he believes that these two insects
spread more disease than any Ot'/,r
things. He will urge that all stag
Dant ponds in the city be filled up
and kept filed and that Easements
of vacant houses also be kept clear
of water. He also will urge the con-
tinual cutting of weeds on the vacant
lots and the carting of the weeds
away.
DIR. Thomas j. Pretlow, who retired
as health officer on July 80, yesterday
submitted his health report for the
month of July to Mayor Marquis
Jones. The report shows that there
were only 81 deaths during the
month and that % births were re-
ported.
Following is the report In full:

ellis of the City of Newport News,
