The young man has no relatives. so far as can be learned, except his mother. whose home is at McGehee station, near Mont gomery. Young Lawrence had been here only a short time and was known to a very few.
 Some time ago a petition was sent to Superintendent Mckinney of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad by several of the citizens of Evergreen, asking him to regulate the manner in which locomo- tives gave signals in passing through this place The superintendent issued his re- quest, asking the engineers not to blow their whistles so loudly in passing through the town. The people complain that the request did no good whatever. Freight trains especially pass through here shriek- ing so loudly that they have become nuisance to the nervous and sick. and to those who meet for public worship. q

 WORK FOR MUSEUMS

University July 21.-(Special)-Prof H. H. Holmes, who has had charge of the history of education and educational psychology in the University summer school, has gone in with a vim to make his reputation gained last year as prn- oipal CT the Geneva County High school at Hartford even more specific. It was reported throughout the state that the work he did last year was the model for the, county high schools of the state. The last thing he did for the Geneva County High school was to install one of the spe- oial sociological exhibits and collections such as have been sent out from the mu- scum at the university
 It will be noticeable that the first off eial act of Professor Holmes as prinei- pal of the Houston County High school will be to install one of the branch mu- seums, as nucleus of what he claims Will be one of the best high school mu- seums in any of the county high. schools in the state.
 MT. Herbert H. Smith, the curator of the museum, who with his wife is arrang- ing the exhibits, took into consid deration the fact that the state was pointing out Mir H olmes work as an example to the other schools. They then took the mat fer up with Dr. Smith, the state geologist. and after little consideration Dr. Smith alvisei that the collectitn be furnished 10 the Houston County High school, sub ject to Professor Holmes orders The collection contains 16O different species and over 300 specimens, and is valued at about S250. This will be but one of a series of collections that will be sent out to this fortunate school.

ANOTHER JOKER IN
 MONTGOMERY BILL Provides That Commission
 CTS Must Be Under Fl Years of Age

Montgomery. July 22.-(Special)- Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. shrewd lawyers of this city have discovered another joker in the com mission government situation here that has occasioned no end of merriment in legal circles of the city. The joker is precisely similar to one found in tho Birmingham bill as originally written, but it was amended by Governor O'Neal in time to prevent any misunderstand- ing.
 According to the most recent state- ments the old original bill states that the commission shall consist of three men, one the mayor and two others to be elected. The bill thereupon specifics that no candidate for office shall be above the age of 2l years.
 The error was found following upon contention that the present bill is un- constitutional. It is said if the original bill is unconstitutional Mont gomery will have to make use of the Mobile measure, which is said to be in elusive

 GOVERNMENT AID Expert Will EndeavOr to Find Cause for Typhoid
 Epidemic

Mobile, July 21.-(Special )-Twenty-o cases of typhoid fever were reported to the health department today, making a total of slightly over 200 known cases since June L City Health Officer pr. I,hett Goode, today wired Surgeon Gen eral Wyman. asking that a government expert be sent to this city to investigate the cause of the disease and assist local physicians in finding a remedy. The sit uation is admittedly serious and the fact
 hat typhoid is in practically every sec tion or the city strengthens the belief that there is some general source of in- lection. -
 The request for government assistance was made with the knowledge and con- sent Of Dr. W. H. Sanders, state health officer. and it is expected that the gov ernment expert will arrive in the city by Monday and proceed at once with the work.
 The work of investigating the water supply of the city was continued today, and nearly every portion of the water shed has been gone over. AS nothing has Teen discovered to lead to the belief that the water supply of the city is in any Way contaminated, the belief is growing that the source must be sought else where. The committee of the city coun- . eil which investigated the two Mobile abattoirs yesterday held a secret session this afternoon and prepared a report which will be submitted to a special meeting of the city council called for Monday night to enact ordinances re- quested by the Mobile Medical society relative to screening. Nothing given out relative to the meeting officially, but unoffi cially it is learned that the report will go into the saughtering of animals for cons umption in the city in detail, and condemn the practices that have obtained at the abattoirs.
 As a result of the publication of con dtions a the abattoirs but little meat was consumed in the city today, all deal ers reporting the cancellation of orders and little demand. Both of the abattoir companjes announced today that their rlaces were open to public inspection and one stated that the place was thoroughly screened The screens were not in evil dence when the committee made it's in- vostigation yesterday
