fever. is practically the same in symp-
toms and effect as cerebro- spinal mem
nights. For number of years it has
been known that it was caused by the
bite of the sage tick, but what I'M =
fected the tick has been the problem
to which there was previously no an ?
swer.
In some respects the disease is SINH =
lar to typhus fever. the disease caused
by the bite of a louise which has bceh
the scourge of the European army
camps and which is said to be preva =
lent in Mexico. Since the tick fever
is now in way to be conquered, ply
sicians attending the conference be e.
lieve typhus will also be solved.
In the Bitter Root mountains of
Montana the mortality among human
beings has run as high as 30 per cert
from spotted fever. In Idaho, Utah
and other regions. where the climate
is dryer the mortality sinks to 3 per
cent.

color. surrounded by dark blue proto-
plasm He found it in the blood of
animals affected by spotted fever. He
also knows it exists in the mouth parts
of the ticks which carry the spotted
fever, but the discovery of the micro
organisms was made only two months
ago and he has not as yet carried his
experiments far enough to determine
exactly how the protozoan lives in the
body of the tick.
Next Step is Antitoxin.
Whether an antitoXn will be dis
covered for the disease DR. Frcks was
unable to say. He thought it would
probably require a long series of eX-
periments to make such a discovery.
No official name has yet been given to
the micro organism. 1t will receive
one from the American Medical asso-
citation when DIR. Tricks discovery is
demonstrated to that organization.
In telling of his discovery DR.. Prick 5
paid a high tribute to DR.. Howard

effort to isolate the spotted fever germ

How Discovery Was Made.
DR.. tricks said he made the discov-
cry while working with some serum
which he'd become infested with for
eign coccus To separate that coccus
from the serum he said he diluted the
serum cne TO 10 and subjected it to a
process known as centrifusion. after
which he found he had a serum the
upper parts of which produced no cf-
feet on animals, but the sediment in
the tube produced spotted fever when
ey err injected. In that sediment he so-
lated the protozoan which causes the
disease. That protozoan is what car
ries the disease in the veins of it's vic

ALICE VIOLATION
OF JIM CROW LAW
CoLoRED PASSENGER ON BAY
SHORE LINE, WHO WAS SAID
TO HAVE REFUSED TO MOVE,
WAS ARRESTED.

E. S. Cobb, colored, residing in the
western part of the city, who gave
his occupation as that of a dentist,
was arrested yesterday, and is charg-
ed with violating the Jim Crow law.
Cobb gave bond for his appearance,
and will probably be given hearing
in the city court this morning.
1t was alleged that, just before the
bayshore car started from the city
station, number of negroes were
sitting well up in front of one of the
trailers. The conductor is said to
have asked them to vacate the space
which they occupied for the larger
number of white people who were
waiting to be seated. 1t was stated
that the one arrested was either slow
in leaving his seat or else had de-
cided not to obey the conductors re-
quest. Capt. Thos. Cusachs, who wit
messed the greater part of the pro-
ceedings, placed Cobb under arrest

CHARTER BOARD To
HOLD MEETING FOR
ACTION ON REPORT
NEwLY-FoRMED BODY WILL
GET TOGETHER FRIDAY AFT
ERNOON TO HEAR FROM THE
COMMITTEE OF FIVE.

The CITY charter boards members
will get together on Friday afternoon
at 4 o'clock for the purpose of hear
ing from the committee of five, nam
ed at the last meeting, to place before
the body some recommendations re-
speeding the future acts of the board.
1t Is expected that the special COM
mittee viii have something to pre-
sent, which shall be sort of an en-
dorsement recommendation for a pos
sible change of charter in the city
of Pensacola.
To expedite the board in its deliber-
ations, special committee of five
was named by Chairman P. K. Yonge
at the last regular meeting, such com
n1ittee being charged with the duty
of presenting in concrete form a
recommended charter. The commit
tees actions, however, are not bind
ing on the charter board as a whole.
On the contrary, amendments may be
substituted, additions made and even
section after section of whatever form
of charter the committee may present
are open to change if any particular
section or sections do not appeal with
favor to any member of the board.
The forthcoming meeting of the
board will be interesting to a large
number of people, who are anticipat-
ing an early change in the form Of
city government, and the meeting will
probably be attended by large num-
Der of citizens. The members of the
board are DESTROYS of having no ex-
ecutive sessions, one member stating
at the last meeting that the best way
to get the confidence of the public,
which the board was DESTROYS of Sc
curing and holding, was to do all
their work in the open, and all meet
ings will be public.
