HOSPITAL REPORT AT ANN|STON CAMP
 IS MADE PUBLIC
This Shows Health of Men Far Above Average. I. w. w. Stories Do
 No Harm

Anniston, August 17.-(Special) The attempt of the two L w W. agi-
 tators to create a stampede among the
 laborers at Camp Mcclellan by spread ing rumors of the existence of yell
 low fever and smallpox fell flat. The laborers are not at all frightened and know that the agitators had made the
 story "out of the whole cloth.' In general, the health of the camp is
 excellent and away above the average.
 maintaining Anniston's reputation as d health resort.
 The following attested list of the
 names of patients in the hospital at | Camp Mcclellan, together with their ailments. was prepared by Dr. R. L. Hughes in charge Friday: J. E. Stuart, Dawson, severe cold; Edwin Linger, New Orleans diarrhoea S. F. Wike, l Attalla, acute indigestion; N. Leib- | hardt, Birmingham malaria1 fever; c. l V. Thigpen. New Orleans, foot pune 1 tured by nail; Ed Sueons, New Or l leans. sprained ankle Luther Parsons Wadley, bilious fever; Joe Fowler, Riv-
 erside, malarial fever; Boss Mex Keeser | l ham, Birmingham, injured leg.
 1 None of the men are dangerously | sick and it is considered splendid recommendation for the sanitation of
 the camp that so few are confined to the hospital out of the large number
 who are employed al the camp.
 There is reason to believe that the l two men who are suffering from ma larial fever contracted the disease be- l fore coming to Anniston. The mess 1 halls at the camp are all mosquito
 proof and all pools have been drained 1 filled or covered with oil. In addi- 1 tion to these precautions the men have | been forbidden to drink water from any of the creeks or springs on the | reservation and underbrush has been
 cleaned away from the streams
 | Dr. R. l.. Hughes, who was county 1 health officer for a number of years
 said today that smallpox epidemics had never been known in this section of the country except in cold weather and yellow fever need not be feared | in this climate, as it cannot exist here Other reputable physicians of the city and county have made similar state | noentc

 Col W. P Richardson, an ardent wet. is president of the Alaska Road Commission and has the spending of p per cent of all the revenues of the territory and he does not want this money spent for schools. He spends most of his time at the Army and Navy Club in Washington, where it is comfort able and dictates where the resour- ces of Alaska shall be spent.
 Delegate Wickersham is seeking in the dry bill, to have the revenue of Alaska paid into the Territorial Treasury to be expended by the people up there instead of being expended by Colonel Richardson from the Army and Navy Club in Washington Naturally, Colonel Richardson and the liquor contin- gent are fighting tins proposal tooth and nail. Richardson is fighting for his dictatorship over Alaska funds and the vets don't want it spent by the Alaska Authorities for fear they will spend some of it for schools and they want to starve out the schools so as to punish the peo- pie for voting dry.
 The vets are yelling their heads off for home rule" to the extent of having the Prohibition bill re- ferred back to the Alaska Legis lature. which has already acted on the subject. Then the vets are fighting against "home rule when it comes to permitting the Alaska authorities to spend their own money in their own way instead of having it doled out for them by Colonel Richardson from the Army and Navy Club in Washington" Let us estimate on your Job Worn
