CAPT AIMS BELIEVE
LAWS TOO DRASTIC
Authorities Careful to Pre-
vent Plague Entering
Alabama

Mobile. August Especial Captains
of ships entering Mobile believe that the
city is too drastic in laying laws to pre-
vent the plague entering Alabama
through this port. Particularly do they
object TO the rule that a ships gangplank
must be hauled in when the ship is not
loading or unloading. 1t takes five men
to handle one of these planks and so every
time one wishes to leave the vessel he
has to call -four Of his companions.
= he Importance of Mobile as port OF
entry has been brought prominently TO
tie fore in the campaign against the
piague. The Journal of the American
Medical society says that this port is sec
ond only to New Orleans as a strategic
point of defence. The citys health au-
thorities have 50 been thoroughly awak-
cned and their activities have brought
Commentator and protest from various
sources.
one protest comes, strangely enough,
from the Humane society. which objects
to the manner in which rates are put to
death. The accepted method Is to place
tho rodent in barrel of lime solution.
Since complaint made TO City Health
Officer Charles H. Mohr however, it Is
probable that another method of exter-
mpation win be brought forward.

pected to follow the election for city
commissioner, which occurs on September

charge of the fire department of Mobile.

some of his friends. 1t is understood,
want him to make advocacy of motor
d. wen fire department one of the planks
in his platform. Commissioner Lyons
has not announced as yet whether he will
come OUT for auto engines
The commission has installed an auto
police patrol and there is considerable
sentiment In favor of a motor fire de-
partment.
One objection raised to the use of mo-
torized apparatus is that the majority
of Mobile streets which have not been
paved are too sandy for rapid automo-
bile transit. while they have never been
an obstacle to horses hoofs and light
hose wagons. II is possible on this ae-
count that Mobiles department will al
ways be, for the greater part. horse
driven, at least until every street in the
city is paved. A combination auto chem
zeal and hose wagon now in use has been
found to be very efficient, however, and
more of such apparatus will probably be
ordered within the near future.

With the conclusion of the last period

that there has not been a single death

on by impure water or insanitary condi-

were killed by lightning and one died
suddenly from q stroke OF appoplexy, and
these were the only three deaths during

after midnight returned verdict
recommending that Chief OF Police
Briggs of South Omaha, his special
deputy, John c. Trouton, and Sheriff
Hyers of Lincoln be held to the dis

Blunt and that Sheriff Grant Chase
Of Sarpy county be censured for not
preventing the shooting which re-
suited in Blunt's death.
The verdict says:
'Roy Blunt came to his death on
the 18th day of March. 1912, from
the effects of a gunshot wound in
fiicted by "A or As caliber rifle
