A POOR SORT OF JOKE

When a boy did you ever gather the

Have you as an elder placed dollar on

QUARANTINE LAW
is NOT OBSERVED
Davenport City Physician Says That
Is Reason for Big Increase in
Smallpox There.

Violation, in spirit at least, Of the
quarantine laws Of the state by Dav-
export persons has been responsible
for the continued presence of small
pox there, according to a statement
made by City Physician George NJ
Middleton at the meeting of the board
of health.
These violations have been repeat
ed and by various persons suffering
with the disease. In many instances
they have been known 10 be suffering
more than a week before their cases
have been called to the attention OF
the city physician.
AS a result of this there are now so
cases of smallpox in Davenport.
Twenty-Five OF this number were re-
ported during the past week, there
being but eight cases a week ago.
THE smallpox situation In Daven-
port is a Joke. said the city physi-
clan. Many persons have been IN
scrupulous with regard 10 the quaran-
tine laws. They have not only failed
to report new cases TO physicians, but
have guardedIy failed 10 call physi-
clans and taken care that they are
not detected by officials.
Il know of one case in the western
part of the city where the patient suf-
fered a week before It was reported.

DISMISSED
IN HEARING HERE
Andalusia Man Released After Being
Tried on Charges Of Assault
With Deadly Weapon,

With the local police court room
packed with witnesses and spectators
from AndaIusia. interest was high in
the hearing Of the family troubles Of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Hayes before Police
Magistrate c. J. Smith yesterday after
noon. After one-half hour, during
which time the most important evil
dence was taken, Mr.. Hayes was dis
missed, evidence having been lacking
TO substantiate the accusations.
The allegation preferred by his wife
last week was assault with deadly
weapon and she had numerous wit
nesses at the police station to testify
in her behalf Many, however. We're
not eye-witnesses to the alleged as
sauIt but only knew of other troubles
between the Andalusia couple and
therefore were not qualified to testify.
Robert r. Reynolds had charge Of
the defense, Assistant States Attorney
A. c, Edwards prosecuted the case
and Clyde Walker who is representing
Mrs. Hayes in the separate mainten-
ance suit which she had dIed and
which is pending in circuit court, was
also present.
The hearing yesterday was the eul-
miuation Of a series OF family troubles
which have been the subject Of much
gossip in AndaLusia and vicinity.
