NEWS ITEMS FROM
THE GATE CITY in
SEPARATE Stories

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. S.-Police
Chief Mayo announced today that he
was going to start school for cops
on Monday, at the station house. Hith
erto it has been assumed at police
headquarters, if not by the general
public, that the average patrolman
knows it all" by some magical pro-
cess, merely by putting on helmet
and picking up club.
Chief Mayo has different ideas. He
believes that a policeman ought to
study to learn something about city
laws and city ordinances in order tc
intelligently aid in their enforcement
and he is proceeding on that basis.
The captains will act as teachers,
and all supernumeraties, which
amounts to about the same thing as all
the new men on the force, must at
tend the classes. There's no chance
to play hockey, and the must learn
their lessons or make room for
brighter boys.
Study courses will include the po-
lice manual, the city code, the Grim
inal code of Georgia, and similar mat
tiers which a policeman should know.

Two Killed and Three Injured. Bodies
OF Victim Buried Under Tons Of
Debris Work Stopped

Two men lost their lives and
three were seriously injured by
the collapse of a portion of the
new Ford Motor company
building at Fargo a few min
utes before noon last Thursday.
The dead are Nels X. Nelson
and John Hall. The injured
are John Erickson, H,C. kroal
and Edward Nelson. The in

for complications set in will
recover. Work on the build
ing has been stopped until an
investigation of the cause of
the collapse is made.
The two men killed were both
residents of Fargo and their
death leaves fatherless two
families of young children.
Owing to the fact that the
accident happened just about
! noon and that some of the men
had left for dinner and the
others scattered at once for
their midday meal, it was not
possible to check up the men
until their return shortly after
one o'clock. When this was
done it was discovered that two
men were not accounted for. Mel

their homes disclosed the fact
that they had not been to din.

summoned and work at dig

at once and continued rapidly
with relays of men until three
o'clock when the body of Mel
son was found completely buri-
ed. About five o'clock Halls
body was found.
The accident happened while
the concrete gang was engaged
in pouring concrete on the up
per floor when the supports
sagged. The men above got
the warning in time to get out
of harms way, but those below
seeing the falsework sag, went
in to save it if possible, but
were unable to do so and the
immense weight of concrete,
wooden forms and steel rein
forcing bars came down on
them. The steel bars were
stripped of the concrete in
which they had been imbeded
and those that did not come
down in the collapse were left
hanging sustained by their an
chorage at one end, making a
mass of twisted and bent rods.
