LACK OF FUNDS DELAYS
WORK on CITY JAIL

city Commissioner W. s. Fralcy
stated today that no work would he
done on the city jail before the he.
ginning Of the next fiscal year for
the reason that city was out OF funds
in that department.
For several months all city prison
ers have been taken care Of at the
county jail This was done ON the
recommendation OF state commission
er Of charities, Matthews. who found
the city jail in an uusanitary condi-
tiou. The proposed new jail will en-.
brace all modern features and Will
comply with the requirements OF the
state department
The city pays the sheriff for main
tanning prisoners, but ut times the
sheriff is considerably inconveniencod
on account Of a lack of room. When
the city first proposed to repair the
Jail, there was one thousGnd dollars
in the fund, when Mr.. Matthews made
his recommendations as 10 the actual
requirements it was found that the
thousand dollars would go but q
short ways toward repairing the jail
and il was therefore decided to wat
until after the first Of July before
making any attempt 10 remedy the
present condition.

NO BUBoNIc PLAGUE HERE

DR. w. A. Cox U. S, Surgeon in
charge at this port has been watchful
Of the introduction of bubonic plague
by vessels from Mexico. There are no
schooners or steamers due from Vera
Cruz, and therefore there is little or
no danger of the plague reaching our
shores. All ships coming frcm infected
ports are subjected to close quarantine
and fumigation. This port is reason
ably safe from infection for the reason
that vessels are fumigated at the quar-
antine grounds and all living objects
are destroyed by the strong sulphur
fumes that perculate throughout the
ship. Vessels from Pensacola are also
subjected to quarantine; however,
there has been no arrivals from that
port to date.
II is suggested that rat killing cam
paign begin throughout the port from
the seashore to the confluence of the
Pascagoula and Escatawpa rivers.
Whenever rat is caught it should be
saturated with coal oil SO
as to destroy the flea. Start at once to

M. G. F. CLUB q; GULFPoRT 7.

Before a large crowd of enthusiastic
Gulfport fans the M. & F. Club of this
city went down in defeat at Gulfport
Sunday at the hands of the strong
Gulfport team.
The game being anybody's until the
last man was out in the ninth inning,
was a very interesting and exciting
one. The Pascagoula boys started the
fireworks when Lyons scored the first
run of the game in the first inning
In the third the Marines put three
more tallies acros the plate. How
ever, the run lead did not stand
long, for in tn next few innings the
Gulfport troop pounced on Rawls for
9 hits, and these coupled with several
Marine & Field Club errors netted the
Gulfport team runs.
Sundays game was the third game
of the season between these two
teams and the Marine & Field Club
has succeeded in trimming the Gulf
port boys twice. The fourth game
will be played here at International
Park on June 9th, and the local boys
are confident of another victory for
the home team.

Capt. Albert M. Miller, a well known
navigator Of this port, returned yester
day from business visit to New York
where he had conference with ship
ping interests. He attended dinner
at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel which was
given to the merchants by the steam
ship companies for the purpose Of TAX
ing steps to combat the general tie-up
Of ocean freighters. The sum of
$5,000,000, was raised at the meeting
for the purchase of motor trucks to
carry on an independent freight deliv-
cry to the docks. The prolonged strike
Of the longshoremen and truckmen
caused the movement on the part Of
the merchants, he said. Obstruction
Of ship commerce under American
ownership is coming to an end is the
opinion of Capt. Miller, who feels that
the labor element will soon realize
that no outside influence can deter the
great capitalists of the East from COM
peting for the ocean freights of the
whole world.
