TAMPA CITY ORDINANCE
is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Negro Hickman Arrested and Fined,
But Took Appeal to Higher
Court and Won Out.

Tampa.-Judge Robes of the circuit
court declared unconstitution a city
ordinance in which the police were CIV
en- power to regulate traffic The case
was that of Henry Wells, negro hack
man, who, on a write of habeas cor
pus, took an appeal through his at
torneys to higher court on a convic-
ton in municipal court. He had been
ordered to move on from a stand taken
at the union depot The decision of
the judge pursuant to the contention
of Zewadski and Nysewander, which
was opposed by Judge C. B. Parkhtll,
city attorney, was that the ordinance
giving the police the right to say
whether or not hack should stop
and stand in certain parts of the
street. was giving them judicial as
we'll as executive powers.

Over $4,000 Indians III With Plague.

Washington. - Health conditions

deplorable by Indian Commissioner
Cato Sells, in his annual report APP

ing from tuberculosis, he says, while
available hospital facilities for all will
not exceed 300 beds. During the past
fiscal year 1905 Indians died from tu-
berculosis. The Indian death rate was
1925 per thousand, against 1900 per
thousand for the entire registered
area of the United States. More than
10000 cases of trachoma are shown
to exist among the governments
wards. The report says there are
5000 Indian families without homes,

conditions. Need of increased appro-
priations to provide the Indians more
sanitary homes, better school facilities,
medical attention and measures to pre-
vent disease is emphasized.

FACED A FOREIGN FLAG.


The harbor of Rio de Janeiro is one
Of the wonders Of the world. You
enter a narrow strait guarded by a
towering conica mountain and discov-
er glorious inland sea surrounded
on every side by abrupt and precipi-
tous mountains, many of them with
the most fantastic outlines. | should
imagine. says the Hon. Stephen Cole
ridge In Memories" that all the fleets
Of the world might anchor there in
safety.
In the early seventies couple OF
English bluejackets In search Of ad-
venture climbed to the top of the
mountain that guards the entrance,
hauled after them a flagstaff and
union jack, set up the pole on the
summit and unfured the tag to the
breeze.
The astounded and indignant Brazil
ians awoke one morning to find an
alien bunting flying over their territory
from It's most conspicuous eminence.
Protests were lodged with the English
minister. who. with the utmost po-
likeness, apologized for the thoughtless
escapade of some entirely unknown
persons and gravely told the Brazilian
government that Of course he would
have no possible objection to the
prompt removal of the flag and pole
The emperor, however. could find no
subject in all his wide empire who
would volunteer to make the ascent to
the summit Of the mountain, which
the people of Rio de Ianeiro consider
ed unscalable.
In this embarrassing dilemma the
Brazilian government determined to
knock over the staff by shooting at it.
The Brazilian fleet was ordered to
shoot the offending pole off the top Of
the mountain Either they could not
train their guns TO the required angle
of elevation or the target was too mar
row for a successful shot. At any
rate, the English flag flying over the
proud Brazilian city remained. Drawing
the battle and the breeze, till it rotted
away.
