SAY CITY NEEDS
 PUMPING ENGINE
In Case of Serious Fire the Depart nent Would Be Handicapped
 by Lack of Apparatus.

z s4,s% K A. < Es48 85 '. <
 When the new safety board which is to be appointed by the mayor some time in the sweet by and by meets and organizes, one of its first acts will be to bring to the atten- tion of the common council the exact status of the city fire departm ent. showing it up in all it's glaring weak ness from lack of efficient apparatus. The absolute need of at least one pumping engine, to be located at No. 5 or No. Engine house, is to be ex- plained and request for it's pur- chase will be made.
 Yesterday the mayor and three commissioners he plans to reappoint, Messrs filling, Healey and Holmes. held conference at which these mat ters were discussed The safety commissioners feel that in case of d big fire the department would be ham dicapped and that this should be for cibly presented to the city fathers. Then, in case they are refused their new apparatus and a bad fire occurs the government of the city cannot blame the commissioners but on the other hand they can say to the coun- ell members we told you so.',
 The regular meeting of the safety board will come on Tuesday. June 8. unless the new board decides. upon some other date.

WHAT WILL AMERICA
 DOL ASK FRENCH
Commenting on Germany's Reply to American Note-CalI It Another
 

SefI1dH DlpiOHdIC 'bluHOer.
 Paris, June l. 4:55 a. m.-Under the caption What will America do?" the French press comments oa Ger many's reply to the United States note of protest regarding the sinking of the Lusitania. All papers agree in charact the answer as another diplomatic "blunder'' They declare Chancellor von Bethmann- -Hollweg is endeavoring to open a controversy to gain time.
 The Matin says the imperial chan cellor invites the United States to abandon neutrality by exerting pres- latter country to gixe up her blockade -"that is to say, abandon her naval supremacy"-in consideration of which the German admiralty would cease assassinating the passengers and crews of unarmed ships" The Journal believes Germany, not .withstanding the calm moderation of President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan, who have resolved lot to be forced into anything precipitate, will end by exasperating America. The paper declare the president and his secretary of state are democratic leaders of a democratic nation, who must follow rather than lead public opinion.

 Anti-mosquito campaigns were for
 ,merly considered more or less of joke
 lThe mosquito itself was no joke, how
 lever, but it stung the public for long t.ong time in perfect security and with tincreasing zest before people would be- gin to take the idea of reprisals on the mosquito seriously.
 Practically the first mosquito cam paign began in Cuba after the Span ish- American war. Yellow fever epi- ! denlics had occurred before; New Or l leans lost 1000 people by one in 1878, ! During the Cuban epidemic it,was dis ! covered that the mosquito wa& respon- ! sible for the transmission ofF yellow | fever. Under the direction of Colonel W. c. Gorgas Havana was cleaned up, ! ponds and pools were treated with preparations to kill mosquitoes in their breeding places and swampy places were drained off. Yellow fever ceased { in Havana.
 Colonel Gorsas Their Foe.
 ] Colonel Gorgas cleaned up Panama just as he did Havana When Presi- dent Roosevelt made his trip to the Panama canal he recorded that only ! one mosquito was seen by any mem- Der of his party. .
 The mosquito was also fought suc- 'cessfully on Staten Island, New York, 1 by pr. Alvah H. Doty, then health off, ! cer for the port.
 New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware have laws under which boards of health can declare any mos , quito breeding territory a public nui- sance. These states have spent enor- smous sums in fighting the mosquito.
 but the outlay has been more than re- paid by the vast increase which has re- suited in the taxable value of property When Dr. Charles A. R. Campbell president of the San Antonio Academy
 of Medicine, built on the shore of
 Michell lake, a large body of standing sewer water a few miles from San An Itonio. Tex, a bat roost for raising bats
 to cure malaria medical and lay men alike were highly amused by an idea
 that seemed ridiculous. But the bats ended the mosquitoes and malaria. and the authorities of San Antonio were so fully converted that they passed an ordnance to prohibit the destruction of bats. This is the only Legislation of the kind in the world

is an excellent source. Cisterns and cesspools hardly do any better. Even puddles left for a few days will answer.
 Those who don't like mosquitoes should see that their door and window screens fit tightly and should pairt them pretty regularly with kerosene. Cellars should be funl!gafed by melting carbolic acid crystals over gentle heat, meanwhile pouring gum can1phor over it and then volatizing the mixture over a lamp.

He formally dissolved his cabinet and told each member to look out for his own safety. MT. Davis intended to go west and cross the Chattahoochee snd attempt to fall in with troops in Alabama and so cross the Mississippi and join General E. K. Smith and con- t1nue the war so on that side of the river with the ultimate purpose that the seeded states should return to the United States with all rights of the states unimpaired
 Three days after leaving Washing ton MT. Davis found his family en- eamped with small wagon train and travelled several days with them. He still intended to lay down to rest shortly before dawn. Soon afterward his negro coachnan reported to him that he heard firing nearby. MT. Davis left his tent, anG saw some Onion cavalrymen. His wife urged him to escape. His horse was hitched nearby. As it was still dark he picked up in the tent what he thought was his raincoat, and later found it was his Wife's. Mrs. Davis threw a shawl over his shoulders to protect him from the cool morning air. He had advanced from the tent but a ! halt. Mr. Davis threw off the rain coat and shawl and advanced upon the trooper. but his wife rushed up and threw her arms apout him and there was nothing to do bur surrender Many false statements have been made by his enemies as to the dress he wore when arrested but MT. Davis scldierly character and courage give the lie to all such stories and those cf his household who were present bore him out in his statement that he wore a gentleman's morning wrap per-"
 Life as a Prisoner
 General Green related stories of Mir. Davis life in Fortress Monroe as a prisoner of the United States and quoted statements of fort physician concerning the prisoners patience and gentleness during his confinement. General Green told of Davis release from Fort Monroe, of his going to Canada and in closing said:
 President Jollnson's anxiety to convict Jefferson Davis of treason was such that he employed the greatest criminal lawyers of the age to assist the attorney general in his investiga- ton of the case. Johnson also sent lbI IIie CIiiSI JuSIlCG CI Lne On1teQ States supreme court and asked him to look into the matter on the part of the United States. If ever there was a partisan it was Salmon P. Chase, but at that time he was great lawyer and an honest, ferless man.
 Davis Capture Mistake.
 Lincoln, said Chase, wanted Jefferson Davis to escape and he was right. His capture was mistake, his trial will be greater one. We cannot convict him of treason. Se- cession is settled; let it stay settled
 These words explained the vote of the great judge who would have quashed the indictment against MT. Davis no less than they explained the question so often asked: Why was Jefferson Davis never tried for trea- son 2 On Mr. Davis return from Canada to Richmond for his trial he was admitted to bail or pond which was signed by Horace Greeley and Gerritt Smith. The case against Jefferson Davis never was, called in court.

Rock. Ar rk.. in an address oia JefIer-s son Davis. " Gen Green declared stnaI s.1nisjudged in life and disfranchised until his death, Jefferson Davis ls4 finding. his true place in history lie suffered as no other Confederate. lie met every crisis dauntlessly and measured up to every just expectation and demand of his people,
 The speaker related incidents in MT. Davis life as a soldier. planter, statesman, U. s. Senator, president of k the confederacy and as aA prisoner safter the war between the states. With such a varied and wide ex- perience,'' said Gen. Green. his character at all times exemplified gen. tleness and unselfishness. He was un-. assuming and rigidly truthful, com bining a life of patriotism. nobility and sincerity with an honest desire to serve his fellow man, which chal- lenges the worlds admiration.
 Wished to Serve People.
 Having served in public life nore than thirty consecutive years until 1881 found him with the highest hon. OTIS his state could bestoW "a v. S. senate, there was nothing more he could. wish, and yet at the Call or
  aside his Iaonors voluntarily in order to serve his peoples interest. He was not at any time 8 secessionist. He urged on ralI occasions forbearance and patience when political wrongs were heaped upon the South, but when his state passed the ordinance of seces- sion he rendered his resignation as senator, choosing rather to take his lot with his own people as a private citizen MT. Davis never gave up the hope of a satisfactory compromise until the first gun had been fired. He contended that a guarantee of equal rights under the constitution would restore the Union, immediately"
 The speaker mentioned that after MT. Davis returned to Mississippi from Washington, the governor as- signed him to command all the rnili- tary forces of the state, and on Feb- ruary g, 1861 he was unanimously elected president of the provisional government of the Confederates states of America.
 Model of Wisdom.
 Mr. Davis regarded the confederate constitution a model of wisdom. and liberal statesmanship, said Gen. Green," and as his election was un- animous he accepted, though he great ly preferred active military service. He was in no sense a candidate for the presidency and was greatly disap- pointed that he had been elected. The provisional government having ex- pired Feb. 22, 1862, the confederate congress reelected MT. Davis to the presidency.
 General Green referred to Davis conduct of affairs of the Confederacy, of his efforts on behalf of the sol diers of the South and on behalf of prisoners of war, of both the, North and South, of the removal of MT. Davis and his cabinet from Richmond to points farther south, as the Union forces closed about them, and of the receipt by Davis of news of the sur render of the Confederate generals.
 Dismissed Military Escort. ts5##..At Washington, Georgia, MT. Davis received the first official information ef the surrender of General Joseph F. Johnson. continued the speaker. "He at once ordered the Secretary of war to pay off the soldiers and dismissed ad of his military escort, asking for only ten volunteers to accompany him.

GOVERNMENT WINS
 IN JAPANESE DIET
House Approves Policy Of Military De- veiopment and Entire Budget
 Including Naval Program.


 Tokie, Japan, June 1.-The govern ment's policy of military development was approved by the house today, in an exciting session. By . vote of 232 to 131, the house adopted the provision for an increase in the stand ing army of two divisions, or about 24,000 men. It then approved the entire budget, including the naval program, which provides for con- struction of three submarines and eight torpedo boat destroyers.
 The victory of the government was emphatic. There was no such strong opposition as appeared in the previous diet. which was dissolved by the em- peror for rejecting the cabinets mili- tary program. Speeches of govern ment and opposition leaders showed that all parties favored some form of military and naval development. M Inukai, leader of the Kokuminto party, on the nationalists, opposed the budget on the ground that the in- creases to the army and navy which it contemplated were insufficient. He declared the means of national de- fense should be made stronger.
 Speakers on behalf of the Seiyu- kai, or liberals, based their opposi- ton to the budget on the assertion that there should be perfected more elaborate system of national defense
