gone a few hours prior to the death of his wife. In his statement the dep- uty says that the news of the passing Of Mes Fields was received by her husband without emotion. but that he Immediately and fervently denied that fc had encompassed her destruction
 As to whether or not the suspicion O. officials is well placed will probably be determined today following the chemical analysis of the stomach of the dec eased, and identification by an ex- per of the contents of capsule taken from the box out of which, it is charged, Mrs. Fields drew her death potion.
 The Coroner's Statement
 The coroner makes the following statement:
 Fields admitted to me that he had bought capsules for his wife for a female disorder which Dr. Sorrell of Brooksfde, had been treating. As for the strychnine found in the house, Fields stated that he had bought it to kill dogs and manufacture chicken medicine. To me Fields stated that he was innocent of poisoning his wife and that he could not be convicted
 While in Brookside I had Dr. Sor- rell=who incidentally stated that Mrs. Fields was in excellent health all day Monday, and that he had not been called to see her within the last four months remove the stomach from the body.

LEANDER POOLE IS BACK FROM MEXICO Birmingham Postal Official Talks of His Experiences
 in Vera Cruz

That the Americans are gradually re- tirng from Vera Cruz was the impression given last night by Leander Poole. chief clerk of the United States railway mail service station at Birmingham, but who three or four months ago was sent to Vera Cruz by the postoffice department. Mr. Poole got back to Birmingham yes terday, having left Vera Cruz last Thurs day Mir. Poole's letters to The Age-Her- aid during the time he was in Mexico under the name of Bill Sikes" attracted attention throughout the south.
 MT. Poole stated that several other left for home with him and that others had preceded him. Nearly 'all the war ships have left the harbor and the sol diers are also gradually leaving. This is taken to mean that the United States government is gradually retiring from possession of the Mexican port.
 I'm mighty glad to get back to Bir- mingham, although I'll admit I would not take fortune for my experiences in Vera Cruz" said MT Poole last night. "I made many friends in Mexico, especially among the newspaper men and consular officials of the different governments sta toned at Vera Cruz.
 ''I was handicapped at first by my ig norance of the language, and the first thing l learned was how to tell Mex ican to hitch up the mule teams quick. had charge of the delivery system and the taking of the mails off the boats.
 Vera Cruz is a much different place than when We first went down there in May. Maj R. E. Noble of Anniston. who came back on the same train with me, was down as member of the health de- partment. When he first went down 2 man could hardly sleep for mosquitoes, and two months later there wasn't q mos quito to be found.
 Villa, it seems to me, is the biggest man in Mexico now. He may be ,nedu- cated and all that but he is the popular man with the people. Carranza and Villa are both at Mexico City and are trying in every way possible to set up stable government knowing that the United States will not recognize them until they do and none of the other powers will until the United States does. The rail- road is now open from Mexico City to Laredo and to El Paso.
 "rhe most important thing for the United States in Mexico now is to se- cure it's trade. To Q so we will have to have merchant marine. The imports of Central and South America and Mex leo now total over $960 0,000,000 a year. The United States has been getting about per cent of it. England has been get ting 75,000,000 of 1t and France has been getting $72,00000O of it. With the present War in Europe there isn't any reason at a''l why We couldn't get all of 1t if we had the merchant marine to go after it. There Is one concern in Mexico which imports 5,0e0,00o tons of coal year. Think of 1t. An interesting thing l learned from men on the warships in the harbor was that the Alabama coal used by the navy had proven entirely satisfactory"
 MT. Poole will go to his old home at Cuba, Sumter county, for rest and vaca- ticn, and will take charge of the railway mail service here about September l.

OVER 5000 RATS FILLED IN MOBILE ne Case of Infection las Been Found
 SATISFACTORY ,s Will Probably Be Placed le Permanently to Assist Tn Kat Killing Work-Plan
 to Create War Zone

Montgomery, August 25.-(Special ) Dr. W. H. Sanders, state health of ficer, has returned from Mobile where he went to inspect the work of rag extermination, which has been in prog ress in that city since the discovery of bubonic infection in New Orleans. Dr. anders stated today taht more than 5000 rats have been killed in Mo bile, and that not single case of in lection has been found.
 The state health officer declared that the authorities of Mobile are de- termined to make the work of rat ex- terysrkpation permanent practice rather than a spasmodic enforcement following periods when bubonic plague Infection is found.
 As proof of the earnestness with which the Mobile commissioners have entered upon the work of rat extermi- nation, Dr. Sanders called attention to the resolution recently adopted by the commission calling upon Sergeant General Blue, United States army, to assign Dr. Grubbs of the federal serv- ice to permanent duty in Mobile for the purpose of assisting in rat killing work. It is understood that this re- quest will be granted and that Dr. Grubbs will take up his new duties within the near future.
 pr. Sanders declared that he found the work of the city health department, and that of the pathologist employed by the state to examine the dead rats for infection highly satisfactory. He de- clared that the city health department is planning to create a war zone start ing at the water front and extending back as far as Royal street By this means, 1t is expected that the popula- tion of rats in Mobile will be greatly reduced.

UNDERWOOD DEALS WITH AbSENTEES WITHOUT GLOVES Has Passed Resolution En- forcing Act to Compel
 SOlOns to Attend
 Sessions
Fly C. E. STEWART

Washington, August 25.-tspecial) ) Without even the protection of ''the vel vet glove the iron hand of Representa- tive Underwood today smote several scores of absentees from the House, though the passage of resolution that leaves of absence should oe canceied and all members be docked who are not de- tained at home through illness of them selves or their family. The resolution was adopted, 213 to 27.
 First announcing that he offered the resolution not in a spirit of criticism, but as governmental necessity, MT Underwood continues: "The question that confronts us is: are We going to stay here and attend to the government's s business or are we going home to attend to our political business?
 "As there is no other way of indorsing a quorum. I think the law of ire land ought to be enforced If a member finds it's more important for him to stay in his district and work for himself than % stay in Washington an6 work for his government he ought not to ask the gov ernment to pay his salary, while he is absent from this hall" to which Repre- sentative Mann, republican leader. re- torted, that as the primaries in the south were over those members virtuously pro- posed to remain in Washington and keep northern members who face primary fights, from their districts.
 Stay on Jobs
 Mr. Underwood replied that the south- ern members stay on the job a much greater percentage of their time than any other members. Further, MT. Underwood explained that Congress had teen kept in session by trust legislation in the Sen ate and now faced the necessity uf pass ing additional revenue legislation because of the war in Europe
 We probably shall lose $1gO, ,00e,000 of revenue because the customs revenues are cut off and before we adjourn it may be necessary to pass bill to meet that con dition,' said MT. Underwood. 'rhe busi- ness interests of the country are at stake There is distress all over the land. grow ing out of the disruption to business caused by conditions in Europe, and for any member of Congress now to say that he places his individual fortune and the necessity of taking care of this in- dividual fortune above his duty co the country, in my judgment, proclaims mem Der unpatriotic and unworthy of a scat on the floor of this house."
 MT. Underwood was supported in his remarks by other members from Ala bama and other parts of the south. Uncle Sam" Witherspoon of Mississippi was one of the 27 who voted against it. The law provides that absentees shall be '.docked' and Mir. Under@ood's resolu- ton simply enforce the law.
