PLAGUE FOUND IN $4,000 RATS
EXAMINED LAST YEAR.

DR.. A. L. CarrioD, of The Bureau Of
Plague Prevention, announces that net
less than 1000 rats are caught and eX-
amined for bubonjc plague each month.
Last year 95,857 rats passed through
the laboratory, and not one bore traces
Of the disease.
Formerly the bureau employed rat
catchers in San Juan, Ponce, Areclbo
and Mayaguez, all the large seapOrts Of
the island. AS DR.. CarrioD states, the
big Danger Of bubonic plague in Porto
Rico lies in the importation of infected
rats from foreign countries, and there
fore the seaports are the most dangerous
points.
However since the appropriation for
this bureau was cut in half by the past
budget. all work on the island ports has
been forced to be discontinued, since the
guarding of San Juan alone causes the
expenditure of most Of the funds.
The Bureau employs nine men and one
inspector in San Joan and SIX men and
one Inspector in SautQrce. Their 6uty
is to catct rats for inspection. Each
man must bring in at least 30 rats each
week to hold his job, and some often
bring IN over 200.
The bureau asks all people who are
troubled with rats in their homes to
telephone the Bureau. A rat catcher
will be sent to set traps. The next day
the traps are collected and the rats
brought in for inspection,
A special book is kept recording every
phone call made to the department with
the exact time and date it was received;
Then there is another book in which is
listed each rat that is brought in, noting
its species. the district and house in
which it was caught and the man who
caught it. In this way the bureau has
quite a fair idea Of the places most fire.

Gets Out of Town
In Face of 30-Day
Sentence to Jail

Thirty days in Jail, or the alter
native of getting out Of the city and
Staying out, was the sentence I'M
posed on William Hunter, alias Joe
King, in the municipal court yester-
day. Hunter answered to the charge
of drunkenness, pleaded guilty, and
promised to leave town and not re-
turn.
He was picked up on the street
Wednesday night by Officer Henry
Higgins, whose ever vigilant eye
caught him begging and disturbing
the peace on Main street. Officer
Higgins spied the man in company
with another, noted instantly that he
was a stranger in town, appraised
his character at glance. and in
less than Is minutes after having
first set eyes on him, had him safely
moored in the police station.
At the hearing the man gave his
name as Joe King, and then think
ing better of it for some reason
changed his mind and said he was
William Hunter. His addresses
were rather more numerous than his
names.

Specifically the embassy statement
says OF foreign rights acquired

prior to May /, 1917, the date on
Wnlch the new constitution went into
erect, that they will be confirmed
through governmental concessions on
application within one year, begin
ming December 81, 1925.
The concessions through which
the government will confirm the
rights Of foreign companies will have
exactly the same duration as the orig
inal rights, being either for the entire
lie OF the company or for the time
provided in the contracts on which
those rights are based" the state
ment continues. "The government
has declared that in cases in which
interests of foreigners> are involved
the alien land law and its regula tions
shall be applied preferentially."
Limitation Of these concessions to
a fifty year term was a major issue
in the official correspondence, yet the
embassy statement next states that
the fifty year concessions "are grant
ed solely for the purpose of confirms
ing rights acquired by Mexican COM
panies before May /, 1917.
rights acquired prior to May 1,
1917, by foreign companies, will be
confirmed by the Mexican govern
ment not only without cost, but
without the declaration renouncing
diplomatic protection required by the
law for future acquisitions" the
statement adds.
The correspondence between the
two governments failed to bring
about an agreement that American
nationals should not be required to
waive such rights under penalty of
forfeiture while the statement seems
to narrow the application Of the law
in that respect to future acquisi-
tons only"

AFTER RELEASE IN
MUNICIPAL COURT

Freeman Derocher, John Barney,
Charles Ivers, Jr, and Luke Ivers were
discharged by Judge Atchley in the

tering the home of Mrs. Clara M. Lib
by on Collins street last Saturday

The trial of the men was to have
been held yesterday morning in the
municipal court, but after long con-
ference between attorneys and officials
it was found that the case was one
belonging PROPERLY to the federal au-
thorities, The men were released
from their bonds, $500 in cash being
returned to Derocher by Judge Atch-
ley, he being the only one of the four
to furnish cash bond.
The men were taken to Augusta IN

uty u. S. Marshal Powers, Federal
Prohibition Agent Robert HI. Jack ana
Chief of Police Franklin D. Gaskell.
Their bondsmen went with them to ap-
near before the bail commissioner IN
Augusta. f. Harold Dubord, counsel
for Derocher and Barney, was the only
attorney with the party.
