of these three men were recruits of
four and six days and had undoubt-
eddy contracted the disease before
enlistment.
Vaccination against typhoid fever
is now compulsory in the United
States army. In 1909 when vaccina-
ton was voluntary and not yet gen.
eral, there were 173 cases with Is
deaths. In 1910 there were ZAP cas-
es with 10 deaths; in 1911, IA cases
with six deathe; in 1912, Is cases
with three deaths; in 1918, three
cases with no deaths.
The experience of the army proves
conclusively that typhoid fever is
absolutely preventable. For the
present, at least, there is no pros
pect that the public would submit
to compulsory vaccination as the
soldiers in the army are compe led
to do. Personal freedom" includes
the freedom to die of typhoid if one
wishes to, and to risk his neighbours
life in doing so. The neighbor.
however, has in anti.typhoid vac
cination what appears to be an alb
solute preventive of infection over
a limited period at least.

14-Inch Shell
Passed Close to
O. Naval Vessel
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 27.-The repair
ship Panther of the United States
navy had a narrow escape from be-
ing hit by 14-inch shell fired from
the proving grounds at Sandy Hook
today.
The Panther, with a number of
other war ships taking part in the
maneuvers off the coast, composed a
fleet that is defending the entrance
to New York harbor. Early today
these vessels came within range of a
14-inch gun being tested at the prov
ing grounds and a large projectile
passed directly over the Panther and
struck in the ocean half a mile be-
yond.
The commander of the Panther i'm
mediately sent wireless report of
the incident to the commanding of
ficer at Fort Hancock.

men FROM CRUISER
FIGHT LARGE FIRE
DWELLING OCCUPIED BY A SOL
DER NAMED AVONDALE WAS
BURNED, BUT NEARBY HOMES
SAVED.

Men from the cruiser North Caro-
lima did valiant service last night in
fighting a fire which threatened to
spread to all parts of Warrington, af-
ter totally destroying the home of a
soldier named Avondale, of the 22nd
company, stationed at Fort Barran-
cas-.
The fire showed a tendency to
spread rapidly and to entail heavy
loss in the little settlement on the
reservation, and until the arrival of
the corps of bluejackets, and some
soldiers from Fort Barrancas, it look
ed as if adjoining and nearby homes
were doomed.
The soldiers and sailors were given
much praise for their work at the
fire, for it was reported that without
their assistance and valiant work
more than one home would have suf-
fered.

THREE FIREMEN TO
HANDLE TRUCK ONCE
.|TISCOMMISSTONED
CONSIDERABLE CRITICISM HAS
BEEN HEARD OF ACTION OF
CITY IN LETTING UNFRAMED
MEN MAN 1T.

Firemen Anderson, Mitchell and
Butler are the ones who have been
instructed in the operation of the
motor fire truck, which is to be short
ly commissioned. The demonstrating
engineer gave each of these men a
most thorough instruction, and left
with the belief that all or any of them
was capable of handling the vehicle,
even at the most rapid speed possible
to make with it.
While these men have been in the
fire department for many years it
was understood that considerable crit
icism has been made of their selection
because of their past inexperience in
the operation of motor trucks, and
it was stated upon high authority
last night, outside of the valuable and
high priced fire truck, neither of them
had in the past driven an automobile
to any extent, and certainly were
hardly competent to handle such a
valuable piece of apparatus, both
from the standpoint of personal
safety, and safety to property and
apparatus.
While the men are all thoroughly
capable in other lines in the depart
ment, said a well-known citizen last
night, they are not the men to be put
in charge of the magnificent new
truck, which of necessity is usually
operated at the highest possible speed
when its services are required.

May Install OIL Mill At Granite.

An announcement was made by the
state board Of public affairs that the
establishment of cotton seed oil mill
at the state reformatory at Granite
was under consideration If the mill is
established and proves profitable an.
other will be established at the peni
Tertiary in McAlester. Both would be
operated by prison labor.
Establishment of cottol mill by the
state at either place, it is urged by the
board of affairs, would be of great ben
eft to the farmers in the cotton grow
ing sections of the state, in that it
would tend to break up the cotton seed
oil trust and give the farmers an op-
portunity of marketing their cotton
seed at a profitable price. The country
around Granite, it is said, is one of the
best cotton producing sections of the
state, Granite being one of the prin.
cipal ginning center sof that section.

He can no longer claim exemption for
all he earns because of the fact that
he is the head of a family. One.

The new law provides that seventy
five per cent of the earnings of the

five per cent may be garnisheed by
his creditors after a judgment has
