pie at Absecon.

Pleasantville, N. j., Aug. 10.-A band
of about $50 gypsies invaded Absecon,
two miles above here and seven miles
from Atlantic City, and terrortzed the
inhabitants, robbing them right and
left until assistance was given the Alb
secon authorities by local constables
and justices in answer to a number OF
riot calls sent to Pleasantville by the
chief of the Absecon police, Thomas
Hutchinson.
Men and women on foot and in auto
mobiles were held up by the nomads
and forced to turn over their money
and jewelry, while wholesale robberies
at the stores and farms were made by
the band. The party was first seen
passing by the outskirts of Pleasant
vile and were ordered on from here by
Constable McDermott. They were next
reported in Absecon and laughed at the
circumstances of the AbsecOn citizens
to their wholesale pilfering.
I. Hutchinson received several calls for
help and made futile attempts to reach
County Judge Higbee and the sheriff.
He then tried the Atlantic City chief of
police, Malcolm Woodruff, but was IN
able to get help from him because 1t

Unable to obtain outside help, a body
Of Absecon farmers and citizens armed
themselves and assisted in preventing
further depredatiohs. A posse sur
rounded the gypsies' camp at a small
settlement near Absecon known as
Conovertown, and riot calls were sent
to Pleasantville.
In the meantime shots were exchang-
ed by the gypsies and the posse. and II
is said Il Of the gypsies was wound
ed. Headed by Constables Bfggs and
McDermott, q number Of Pleasantville
men hurried to Absecon, cut of some
Of the gypsies and succeeded In recov-
ering a number Of the pocketbooks and
money that had been stolen.
The band was then completely sur.
rounded and guarded. The Pleasant.
vile and Absecon constables confront
ed the gypsies with warrants and ar
rested the chief and eight others.

MIGRATION OF
CONSERVATIVES
Too Many Dying INDECENT
Patients Sent to Southwest

Physicians in all of the eastern
and southern states will be asked by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
to stop sending consumptives in the
last stages of tuberculosis and with
out sufficient funds to the south
western part of the United States
in search of health, according to an
announcement made today by that
association.
While it is impossible to tell &C
%surately how many consumptives
there are at present living in the
states of Colorado, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, Southern California and West
ern Texas, it Is probable that no less
than 10 per cen of the 100000
people in this territory have tuber-
culosis themselves or have come to
the West because some member of
their family has had it. Every year,
the health authorities estimate, not
less than 10000 consumptives hope
lessly diseased come West to die.
For these cases, the climate of this
section of the country can do moth
ing and they are compelled to die in
strange surroundings and thousands
of miles from home and friends.
The National Association points
out further that from so to 60 per
cent of these advanced cases are too
poor to provide the proper necessa-
ries Of life and they are either
starved to death or compelled to ac-
cept the meagre charity which this
part Of the country affords.
In an effort to stop the migration
of consumptives of this class to the
Southwest the National Association
will ask physicians to be more care
full in ordering patients to go away,
and will also ask railroads to dlscon-
tinue their practice of selling Char
ity" tickets to those who cannot at
ford to pay full fare. mo consump-
tive should go to Colorado, Califor-
MIA, or the West for his health" says
the association unless he has a good
chance for recovery from his disease,
and unless especially he has at least
$1,000 to spend for this purpose,
over and above what his family may
need.
Tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is
not necessary for a tuberculosis pa
tient to go West. Whenever pos
slble, the National Association urges
tuberculosis patients who have not
ample funds to go to a sanatorium
near home, and If they cannot do
this, to take the cure in their own
homes, under the direction Of a
PHYSICIAN"

NEW GENERAL
TO FIGHT BUGS
DR.. Headlee Named to Sue
coed DR.. Smith.
From the NEWS i7o,Tespondent.J

Trenton, Aug. 10:-Doctor T. j.
Headlee, state entomologist of Kan
sas and head of the Entomologist
Department of the Kansas Agricult-
ural College, has accepted the call to
become state entomologist of New
Jersey to succeed the late DR.. John
B. Smith, and will enter upon his
new duties here on October l.. DR..
Headlee will really fill four positions.
He will be professor entomology at
Rutgers College, New Brunswick;
entomologist of the Agricultural Col
lege Experiment Station, entomolo-
, gist of the New Jersey State Expert
ment Station and state entomologist
under the State Board of Agricul-
ture.
The new entomologist will carry
on all the work so successfully pros
ecuted by the late DR.. Smith. Be-
sides teaching in the college, he will
carry on Investigations concerning
insects with particular reference to
+, preventing the invasion of insects
dangerous to New Jerseys farms
and orchards, will supervise nursery
inspection under the law to prohibit
the importation of diseased trees,
will have general supervision under
the new law for bee inspection to
prevent the spread of contagious
diseases among bees and will con-
tinue the work begun by DR.. Smith
for the determination of mosquitoes.
DR.. Headlee is about t~hirty-five
years old. He was graduated from
the University of Indiana at Perdue,
and then took a course at Cornell
University, where he won his de-
gree. He then became assistant en-
tomologist at the New Hampshire
State Experiment Station and re-
signed after two years to accept his
position in Kansas. Under his direc-
ton the Kansas Entomologist De-
partment thrived and grew from 400
to 700 students.
He grappled with two big insect
problems in Kansas in a way which
well fitted him to continue the fight
for the determination of the New
Jersey mosquito. Kansas was in
vaded by the Russian fly to the ex-
tent that 2 0,000,000 worth of
wheat vas destroyed. DR.. Headlee
took up the fight and drove the
plague from the state, saving mil
lions of dollars to the farmers. He
also solved the problem of clearing
the numerous large flour mills in
Kansas from the destructive weav-
ers, which caused a loss of many
thousands of dollars annually. DR..
Headlee is a native of Indiana and
has been connected with the Kansas
Agricultural College since 1907.
