The Baltimore police and many
thousands of persons of the city are
aroused over the mysterious death of
Miss Ella G. Winter, a pretty ste
nographer, whose body was found in
Curtis Creek near thee ity.
That the girl was murdered and
her body thrown into the water is
now accepted as a fact. All doubt on
this score was removed from the
minds of the detectives by the iden-
tification of hat picked up in Cur
tis creek a half mile above the spot
where the body was discovered as
the property of the girl and by the
report of autopsy physicians that
there was not enough water in the
lungs to admit of theory of drown
ing.
1t is pretty clear to all now that
the young stenographer was mur-
dered during the drizzlng rain Of
the night following her disappear
ance from home on Thursday, June
4, and her body thrown either into
Curtis creek or into the bay half a
mile below, The discovery of the
hat in the creek supports the theory
that those waters received the body
from the hands of the slayer The
police say that the hat could not
have been carried so far up the
bay by the slight tidal swell, and the
wind in question, they contend, was
not sufficiently strong to have blown
it there.

this estimate was reached, or wheth-
er it is within a thousand per cent
of correct, makes little difference,
but it is quite as likely to be true
of any Florida seaport city as of the
Louisiana city. And the rats Of any
Florida seaport city are quite as
likely to be infected with the plague
in the form of diseased rats, as New
Orleans considered her own rats to
be, prior to the actual discovery Of
the disease there.
No one knows, and human life is
too precious to be risked by the cal
lous indifference of any set of mu-
nicipal authorities. 1t is the duty
of every seaport city in Florida in
the present situation, to begin and
carry to a finish a campaign against
rats. Any rat showing signs of dis
ease should be sent at once to one
of the laboratories of the State board
of health, at jacksonville, Tampa or
Pensacola, for ARCHAEOLOGICAL exam
ination. Every healthy rat should
be killed, for the rodent is a rapid
.nnultipljer of his kind, besides being
a destructive pest,
And this war against rodents is
not to be quickly ended. 1t must
continue for months and until a rat
in a city, especially about the water
fronts, will be as rare as bear in
the same localities.
Not only does the duty of rat ex-
termination belong to the seaport
towns, but also to the interior cities,
for the pest travels by railroad
freight as well as by water
This is serious proposition for
all Florida. It must be met as such,
and it is best not to await the actual
presence of the disease into the State
limits before doing something about
it. The time for action is now.

A REAL MENACE

The menace of the plague to Flor
ida is an actual condition and not a
theory at the present time.
How serious this menace may be-
come will depend very much on the
action, or the lack of it, taken by
the authorities of Florida cities, par
ticularly of the ten principal seaport
cities
The question of what authority
that of the United States govern
ment, of the State or of the munich
pality-is responsible in the present
situation is not at issue, beyond the
primary fact that it is the plain duty
of the city to take the initiative for
Is own protection against disease, so
far at least, as enforcing sanitary
measures can accomplish cleanli-
ness.
Tn the campaign against the inva-
sion of the plague, of which one
form is popularity known as bubonic,
there is a stern necessity that ac-
tion, prompt and efficient, should be
taken. This necessity is based upon
several known facts:
First. The method of transmission,
by the feas that are carried by the
rat which may be infected by this
dread disease, and by the further
fact that rats are practically insep-
arabic, unless removed by fumiga-
marine commerce of the world.
tion, from the ships that handle the
Second. The fact that the in
fected rat may be for considerable
period in a port or city before the
disease appears in a human victim.
Third. Because the plague, which
in the history of the world has been
known under different names, has
proved itself the most destructive OF
all epidemic diseases, claiming. It's
victims in greater numbers than all
the wars that have devastated the
countries of Europe and Asia.
From these facts it must be appar-
ent that the menace of this infection
may be present in a city for some
time before it affects a human vic
tim. And the necessity of destroy
ing even the possibility Of infection
before it reaches the human victim,
must be quite as apparant.
There is no method of destroying
the infection except by killing the
rat-an efficient, thorough rodent
survey. The rat population of New
Orleans has recently been estimated
at 100000, about one rat for each
human resident. By what method
