LANE AROUSED BY ASSAULT ON NEGRO NOnuniOn LabOrers Must Not Be Interfered
 With, He Says

Commissioner A.AD. Lane was consider. ! ably worked ur' yesterday afternoon over a report that crowd of labor union men had attacked a negro laborer at Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street beat him ip and made him quit his job. He gave instructions to Chief Eagan to arrest the guilty parties at once or as soon as they can be found.
 ''I am rather in sympathy with unions. but every man in this town who wants to work and doesn't violate the law has I'll know the reason why,' he said
 ''The report which has reached me. !" said the judge, is that this negro was sent down there by a real estate firm to repair roof on a house and he put up his ladder and went to work. Shortly after before the job was completed, it is said a crowd of men gathered about him and asked if he had a union card. He said he had not. that he had just been sent there to repair the roof but they warned him to quit work at once. He refused. and soon after a larger crowd grabbed the ladder out from under him and drove him off.
 'I have not verified these statements, but 1t seems they are facts. If they are, those men have got to be punished for their act.''

BIRMINGHAM GIVEN ENCOURAGEMENT BY ATLANTA REPORTS McAdoO Denies Report That Atlanta Has Been Sue
 cessful in Fight SAYS REPORTS ARE PURE SPECULATION Story Published Yesterday That Rich- mond and Dallas Had Won
 Which Harding Hopes
 Is True

Much interest was taken in Birmingham yesterday in the Washington dispatches published in the Atlanta Constitution and the New York papers to the effect that II cities for reserve bank eenters had beer agreed upon and that Atlanta had beer successful.
 Secretary McAdoo, however, promptly gave out a statement in Washington deny ing that any decision whatever had been reached.
 According to the dispatch published m Atlanta the cities chosen were New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago. St Louis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and San Francisco. It was further claimed that the Atlanta terri tory would embrace Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Tennessee and possibly South Carolina
 W. F. G. Harding, who has been es- pecially active in Birminghams fight for d regional bank, got great encourage ment from the Atlanta story.
 If Richmond and Dallas have been de- cided upon,'' he said, there IS every req son to believe Birmingham will get a bank. I only hope the tip with regard to those two cities is correct, for then our fight is won to all practical purposes"
 Referring to the stories published yes terday morning the following Washington dispatch was received in Birmingham yes terday afternoon:
 Washington. March 7.-(Special) Joe nial that II cities have been designated
 
 currency system was made today by Sec retary of the Treasury MeAdoo. A pub lished statement that New York, Philadel- phia, Richmond. Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and San Francisco had been designated by the organization committee provoked the sec retary's denial The report was to the effect that many surprises are contained in the committees recommendations, par ticuarly as regards Richmond and Dallas
 The commission has reached no de- cison whatever. said MT. McAdoo, and desires to say that any statement pur- porting to give the decisions in advance are purely speculative and without au- thority. !"
 Along similar lines is the following As sociated Press dispatch sent out yester- day
 WaSnlnStOn, Marcn i---BN q ueclSloT of the reserve bank organization commit tee, all information designed to affect the definition of federal reserve districts or the location of reserve bank cities must be received at the treasury department by March 9.
 Although the committee has spent much time discussing the location of the reserve cities since it's trip through the country, it has been decided that addi- tional data should be considered if filed by next Monday.
 Beginning Tuesday the task of making the selections will be taken in hand in earnest, and it is understood will be con- pleted in time to allow President Wilson to name the members of the federal re- serve board before April l.

A New Malady

A so-called wireless telegrapher' disease, we regret to note, has been added to the already long list of more or less serious .occupational maladies says the Boston Globe.
 Radio operators are subject to anae mia in which the number of red blood corpuscles, as well as their content of hcmoglobin, Is diminished
 "This malady" says an article by a German authority translated for the Lit erary Digest, has certainly various causes in the first place, the defective sanitary conditions of the stations, es- pecially on shipboard. It is equally prob. air. due to the use of alternating cur rents of high frequency to send the message. play an important part.
 Similar trouble, such as paleness headache, loss of appetite and bad di- gestion, have been discovered among electrical workers employed in high ten sion plants, such as those at Niagara.
 As far as wireless men are concerned one cause-bad sanitation-can be re- moved easily either by the voluntary ac- tion of satin owners or through the vigord Is enforcement of health laws.
 Overozonization must be dealt with by the scientist, who may well extend their studies with view to determining whether or not electric waves have any phySiolOgtc effects.
 '.An American engineer named Col lins." remarks the German savant pre- viously quoted. has made experiments on sleeping cat, and asserts that un- der the influence of electric waves the animal lept into the air as If an alter neting current had been sent through it. Collins concludes that powerful electric waves may cause characteristic acci- dents, possibly fatal ones Nevertheless. no absolutely conclusive proofs have yet been obtained.'
