complaint. Shortly after 1 o'clock,
however, Chief Sanders was informed
Of the report and he personally went
to investigate it. Upon the captain
failing to show up at Muscogee wharf,
the charges were incorporated in the
summary dismissal notice shortly
thereafter handed the captain.
The excellent record as an officer
was much in Captain Gilmore's favor
yesterday. He was shown to have
been in the police department eight
years, six years of which he had been
a captain. Not once in all that time,
it was shown, was there anything
against his good conduct.

POLICE CAPTAIN IS
SUSPENDED BY THE
BOARD TWENTYDAYS
WAS sUMMARIALY REMOVED BY
POLICE CHIEF, AND CASE
WENT TO COMMISSIONERS ON
A DIRECT APPEAL.

Police Captain Gilmore, who APP
pealed from the chiefs action in sum-
marily disnissing him from the po-
lice department, was tried before the
city commissioners yesterday after
noon and after all the evidence had
been taken, the commissioners decided
to take the matter under considera-
ton. Half an hour after the regular
weekly session Of the commissioners
had adjourned, it was announced
that the captains case had been dis
posed of by the board agreeing to
give the defendant suspension of
twenty days.
This does not reduce him in rank,
it was clearly understood and so
stated, and at the expiration of that
period, unless other changes are eff
fected, he will assume the captaincy.
For this month, according to an
agreement which had been entered
into, Captain Gilmore would have
acted as turnkey, and Officer Frank
Wilde is acting captain.
The conclusion OF the board of COM
missioners does not sustain the action
of the chief of the department, who
representing in charges that the cap
tain was guilty of gross neglect OF
| duty, had dismissed him from tht
force and then reported the action to
the police commissioner and the
mayor. From such action the captain
appealed, and he was not discharged
| but suspended as stated. He was rep
resented by w. A. Blount, Jr., Will,
the board sat as a trial court, Com
missioner Pou and Chief Frank San

witnesses.

ship at Muscogee wharf, was as

Malicious Reports Are
Being Circulated.

Some person, evidently with the IN
tention Of inflicting injury on Pensa-
cola, have placed in circulation un-
true reports regarding the presence
in this city of dengue fever. It has
made to appear that the fever is Of a
very dangerous type, that It is highly
contagious and that it also is fatal.
Not one of these statements Is cor
rect. They can have weight only with
those who are not informed, for those
who are familiar with dengue know
that it is not contagious, never fatal

days.
It is true that Pensacola has now
and has had cases of dengue fever.
Persons who have suffered from this
attack have been Inconvenience for
a few days, some have gone to bed
while others have not even left their
places Of business for they suffered
only slight attacks.
Dengue is an acute, infectious dis
ease. It was first recognized in 1779
in Cairo and in Java. In 1850 Phila-
delphia suffered an epidemic. Be
tween 1924 and 1928 it was prevalent
in the southern states and in 1926
Charleston suffered an epidemic. II
1858 It prevailed as far north as Vir
GINA and there was an epidemic o.
dengue along the gulf coast in 1897.
Ashburn and Craig have proven
that it is transmitted from one pa
tient TO another by the bite Of mos
quito the "Culex fatigans." The dis
ease Is rarely If ever fatal. Out o
/, the 10000 cases seen in 1928, tire
cases died, and these possibly wer
caused by complications; while any
one who has been unfortunate enoug
to have had dengue can testify tina
while the attack lasts that one is IA
from comfortable. It is diseas

the sea-sick sufferer, wishes in man

damp chill from the murky court.
She stopped over the crib. She
started to Groom b little melody, a
lullaby. Then she stopped to do
nothing but look straight forward.
Grief, sorrow, despair, clutched at
her heart with steeled fingers. The
pain of her soul became so terrific
she forgot the agony Of her body; it's
craving made her forget the insistent
appeal of a starving stomach.
Her eyes were dry. She could cry
no more. She simply sat and stared
as if in dazed wonderment at how
world or God could be so relentless,
so cruel.
When a man from. the county
agents Office entered the home at
1914 w. 18th Mrs. Frances Mates
still sat and stared beside the little
crib. On it lay two tiny bodies, dead.
They had been her twin boys, Louis
and Frank, only months old.
The county agent looked about.
There was no coal in the scUttle, not
even a stick of wood for fire. There
was not a scrap to eat in the cup

There had been no fire for days.
The babes had succumbed to bron-

The county agent, used to sights
of dire distress, turned sick at heart
from contemplating this one. He
made arrangements for coal and food |

turned to Mrs. Mates.

MINE DEATH LIST PLACED AT

Hinton, w. Va, March 3. - Mine
No. 8 of the New River & PocahOn-
tas Consolidated Coal & Coke Co., at
Layland is today vast tomb. And
many are it's dead.
That was the report brought to the
surface by a small party of rescuers
that penetrated far into the main
passage of the mine and returned to
daylight with three bodies. They
said it was doubtful if any living per-
son was still in the workings.
Ten living and II dead have now
been removed from the mine-leav-
ing 161 still 70 be accounted for.
Rescue work. is now at a standstin
and may not be resumed before late
this afternoon. With debris block
ing the entrances Of nearly all cham
bers in the mine and the air so rank
that it actually endangers life, it was
found necessary to suspend all eff
forts to save life until wreckage can
be removed and the air clarified.
Hope was about abandoned by the
watchers shortly after 10 o'clock,
when 100 collins were received.

ALBINO twin STEERS
HEREFORSLAUCHTER.
Pair of White Short Horns Favor
Each Other Like the Simese
Twins.

Frank Lawler yesterday morning
purchased from S. D. Hensley, two
beef steers, weighing in the aggregate
little more than 2100 pounds, each
separately weighing exactly the same,
and each snow white.
There is such a similarity in the ap-
pearance of the two animals that even
Mr.. Hensley, who raised them from
calves, cannot distinguish one from
the other.
Another remarkable feature, is the
that although they are of snowy
wilderness, they are full blooded short
horns, of the cherry red variety, and
neither of their parents bore the
slightest white marking.
They are twins and at the time of
birth weighed exactly the same, and
when they were weighed yesterday,
before being delivered to Mr.. Lawler,
there was not the slightest difference
in their weight.
Mr.. Hensley, whose farm is north of
Jackson on the Oak Ridge road, and
who deals exclusively in blooded short
horn cattle, stated that the weight
recorded when he sold the cattle yes

FATE OF NEGRO
POSSE CHASED
Is A MYSTERY
Armed Man Takes Black from
Otis Coca and "Doc"
Kimmel.
NEGRO CHARGED WITH
ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Negro Believed to be Ernest Ran
die, Says He Acted ImprOp-
erly With Girls.

Otis GOA and Doc KimmeI while
driving to this city from limo yes
terday afternoon, were accosted by a
stranger who said he was employed on
the construction of one of the bitches
in that locality, and who advised them
that search was being made for a
party Of four negroes who had behav-
ed in threatening manner toward
some little white girls living in that
neighborhood.
Their informant was driving a team
and when he hailed GOA and Kimmel,
asked them to lend him a gun. When
they advised him that they were I'M
armed, he passed them and drove
rapidly away.
He had hardly gotten out Of their
sight when young negro, whom they
identified as Ernest Randle of this
city rolled down high embankment
into the road in front of them. Mr..
GOA commanded him to get in the
buggy, and the negro obeyed.
He was made to sit in the bed Of
the buggy at the feet of the men.
They brought him in the direction of
this city for a considerable distance,
when they met the teamster, who had
instructed them to be on the lookout
for the blacks. He had borrowed a
gun, and when he saw the frightened
negro covering in the bottom of the
buggy, he compelled him at the point
of his gun to climb out and get into
his spring seat.
He stood behind with the gun and
compelled the negro to drive the team.
The man advised Mr.. GOA and Kim
mel that he intended to take the pris-
oner to limo and turn him over to
the authorities.
He also told them that three broth
ers of the intended victim had started
in pursuit. of the negroes and that they
had shot one of them in the leg, but
that he had escaped them. He said
that the name of the children was
Barnett, and that their father was en-
ployed on the drainage work.
After they had been relieved of
their captive, they continued towards
the Cape and had gone but short
distance when they were stopped by
the three brothers, all of whom were
heavily armed.
When questioned as to the offense
Of the negroes they refuse to state the
extent of their offensive actions, but
expressed the determination to kill
the one that was captured before he
could be turned over to the officers at
limo. They hurried on in TIE direc-
ton of limo, and Messrs. Goa and
Kimmel drove into the city.
The prisoner had not been delivered
to the authorities at late hour last
night, and some belief is exprn; sed
that he was probably taken in charge
by the posse, and summarily dealt
with.
The negro is said to have admitted
that he had behaved improperly, and
had stated that he intended to tell on
his companions. They were all said to
be residents of this city and were
down in that country fishing in the
barrow pits.

the animals on the day of their birth,
showed that each had gained an aver
