had it, it Is well to look to those who
have had it to set US right in the start
In San Francisco they have had some
ten years experience in fighting rats
now. and have spent directly over
million dollars. They are probably in
position to give US some valuable
points.
The citizens health committee Of
San Francisco, in its published report
Of operations, gives the following as
conclusions and lessons learned from
their experience:
First: The fundamental principle
Of plague eradication is rat eradica-
ton.
Second: This can only be accom-
pltshed by a simultaneous attack on
the rat, his food supply and his habi-
tation.
Third: The permanent eradication
of plague Is directly dependent upon
the amount and the permanence of
the rat killing done.
Fourth: H eafter quarantine
against plague should be directed
against rats rather than against per-
sons and freights.
Fifth: Plague may, and often does.
exist in the rat population of a city

FLORIDA STATE
HEALTH OFFICER
WRITES MAYOR
DR.. J. Y. PORTER OFFERS SOME
VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS IN
COMMUNICATION RELATING TO
CAMPAIGN TO EXTERMINATE
RATS IN THIS CITY.

That the fundamental principle of
plague eradication is rat eradication,
that this can only be done by a
simultaneous attack on the rat, his
food supply and his habitation, and
that quarantine against plague should
be directed against rats rather than
persons, are some Of the reasons given
by DR.. Joseph Y. Porter. state health
officer, in a letter to Mayor Reilly in
reference to the campaign now be-
ing waged in Pensacola to exterminate
the rats.
DR.. Porter also calls attention to
the fact that the plague often exists
for years among the rats in a com
munity before human beings become
infected.
The Letter.
The letter of DR.. Porter to the
mayor of Pensacola is as follows:
Jacksonville, Fla, July 10, 1912.
The Honorable, the Mayor Of Pensa-
cola, Pensacola, Fla
Dear Sir: Referring to the presence
Of the bubonic plague in Havana: Al
though every precaution is being taken
at Havana to prevent an expectation
of the disease into the United States,
yet it's proximity to Florida and the
fact that the plague usually travels
by way of rats, make it imperative
that campaign should be at once in
stituted by the seaports of the state
to exterminate these rodents Just
how to get about the rats extermina-
ton to the best advantage has to be
learned from experience, either our
own experience or the experience of
someone else, and as we have not

for several years before 1t is discov-
cred among human beings. 1t is
therefore advisable for maritime cities
to Systematically trap and examine
rats to determine the existence of in
lection among them. The recent ad-
vance of the disease northward from
the continent of South America to
the islands of the Spanish Main in
dicates the great necessity for the
adoption of this measure.
Requires a Community.
One lesson not to be overlooked Is
that it requires an entire community
to exterminate rats and not an indi-
viduaL An organization cannot do it,
however strong and active it may be-
without the active and intelligent CO.
operation Of the community. They
found in San Francisco that they had
to organize a citizens health COM
mittee, composed of active, progress
sive, aggressive and influential men.
A large amount of work rested upon
this committee. They received con-
tributions of money, for two reasons:
First, because the money was need
ed, and, second, because people will
work more whole heartediy in a cause
they put their money into than when

MASS MEETING
OF CITIZENS
WILL Be HELD
EVERYBODY INVITED TO ATTEND
MEETING AT 6. p. M. TODAY TO
DISCUSS PROPOSED CHARITY,
OR GENERAL, HOSPITAL

Those citizens who are interested
either way in the proposed establish
ment Of a charity, or general, hospital
in Pensacola are invited and urged to
attend a meeting which is to be held
in the council chamber this afternoon
at o'clock for the purpose of hearing
the report of the committee appointed
by the mayor last Monday afternoon
to confer with the city council and
the board of county commissioners
with a view to ascertaining what CO.
operation might be obtained from these
bodies, and to further discuss the mat
ter. The members of the committee
from the council will attend the meet
ing.
This afternoon was the time agreed
upon for the holding of the next meet
ing at the one held Monday afternoon,
but through some misunderstanding
on the part of some of those inter
ested in the movement, the report was
circulated and printed in the papers
that the meeting would be held yes
terday afternoon at o'clock, which
was incorrect.
After hearing from the committee
which appeared before that body on
last Wednesday night and after Al
derman Renshaw had submitted a
resolution calling for an election on
the question of floating bonds for the
erection of a charity hospital, the city
council referred the, proposition to a
special committee to consider the ar
e11ments and information submitted by
the committee which addressed the
council and also the resolution of Or.
| Renshaw. It is probable that this
committee will attend the meeting this
afternoon. in order that the members
may further acquaint themselves with
the proposition before reporting back
to the council at the next meeting.
The physicians and city officials, as
we'll as the public generally, are very
much interested in this proposition
which has been the topic of much dis
cussion recently and it is hoped that a

INSANE MAN IS
ON BOARD THE
AUG. BELMONT
MAN is so VIOLENT THAT IT HAS
BECOME NECESSARY TO CHAIN
HIM HAND AND FOOT ON DECK
OF THE SHIP.

The August Belmont, which entered
yesterday from Port st. Joe, where
she took a part cargo of lumber, has
a violently insane man aboard He is
one Of the crew and became insane
on the voyage over. and has become
so violent that Capt. Clarke has been
compelled to chain him hand and foot
on the deck Of the ship.
The mans mania is to murder the
captain and some members of the
crew and 1t is needless to say that he
is being closely watched. and the rea-
son that he is chained on deck Is that
handouts and locks have been insult
ficient to hold him.
When he first became violent the
seaman was handcuffed, but these re-
manned on him only a short time be-
fore he broke them apart and waB
free. Another pair was secured but
he picked the lock in some manner.
Then a Yale paddock was secured, but
this lock was also picked. 1t was then
found necessary to chain him hand
and foot on deck, where he will re-
main until Capt. Clarke can send him
to an asylum.
The captain endeavored yesterday to
have the man committed to an asylum,
but the officers have not yet acted
owing to the fact that they want 20
be sure the man Is not a citizen Of a
foreign country before sending him to
an asylum.

shipped as an American.
