Post Card Picture, Posed by
Contractor, "for Fun" Only
Portrait of Him.

Atlanta Elks today began plans for
nation wide search for their absent
brother, Noise De Leon, the wealthy
contractor who disappeared several
weeks ago after leaving for Chicago
and Saginaw, Mich. for fishing trip.
Every member of the order in Amer
lea will be asked to aid in locating the
missing man if he is alive or to give
any information they may have as to
his fate.
The searchers were given great as
sistance today by the discovery of a
photograph of Noise De Leon, after
many attempts to find a portrait of the
missing man had failed. Mrs, De Leon
nor any members Of his family remem-
bered any picture in existence, but Ed
ward Z. Dysard, an intimate friend Of
De Leon and himself prominent con
tractor, produced photograph. He
was looking for some papers a his
home when he ran across postcard
photograph which he, De Leon and an
other friend had posed for in little
studio one afternoon in a spirit Of fun.
The little photograph was an excellent
likeness Of De Leon and was made only
few years ago.
The Atlanta Elks. through a COM
mittee composed of J. r. DeJanette,
friend Of De Icons; Secretary Theo
Mast and several others, will publish
circulars with the photograph Of De
Leon and a full description Of the lost
Albanian. These will be sent to every
Elks lodge in America-and they are
located in every city and fair-sized
town in the country-with the request
that all wearers Of the antlers tele-
graph any information they may gain
Of the missing contractor. They are
confident that if De Leon is alive some
Elk will find him.

COURT BACKS Up
WAR ON BADFOOO

Declaring that death turks In bad
meats and vegetables and that the
health and lives Of Atlantaus are seri-
ously menaced by the sale Of such
unwholesome articles. Recorder Pro
Tenn Preston today announced his Of
fetal backing of a war started by the
city health department against resta--
rants butchers and other dealers who
sell or offer for sale spoiled foods.
To show that he means business
Judge Preston imposed a fine of $5O.75
on B. Tomasso, proprietor OF q deli
catessen in Viaduct way, between
Peachtree and Broad streets Meat In
spector Wasser, who is conducting the
crusade, made a case against Tomas
so for having spoiled meats in his
place. Still another case is pending
against Tomasso. In this instance a
customer is said to have suddenly be-
come deathly sick in the deIicatessen
just after eating an order of meat.
Three other cases. made Inspector
Wasser against Victor Cohen, Joseph
Ruben and L. w. Brown, will be tried
Tuesday.
Jail For Second Cffense.
Judge Preston says that the court
will deal severely with all dealers found
with bad meats or other unwholesome
foods on hand for sale, or who are con-
victed of selling such articles. A sec
ond offense. he says. will mean 80 days
in the stockade.
Section 1885 of the city code pro-
vdes, in addition to fine and imprison-
ment the forfeiture Of license for any
dealer convicted of selling spoiled
foods. The present cases, however.
have all been made under section 1858,
which does not include the license pro-
vision, It is probable that the health
department will make all future cases
under section 1886 thus making the
penalty more severe.
