Health Officers Summoned to
Trenton Again Wednesday

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 27.-After
taking considerable testimony in the
matter at the State House here today
the New Jersey Department of Health
adjourned until a later date in Camden
the hearing into the ~infantile paralysis
situation in Wildwood and North
wildwood.
Ginger was injected into the session
by DR.. Margaret Mace, health officer OF
North ii dwood.
"While / am a woman, / am not
curious" she said, ~ came here for
health knowledge and not to be crlti-
cised.n
This retort was made to a question as
to why she had not examined a certain
case in North Wildwood. She declared
she acted as she did out of professional
courtesy to DR.. N. A. Cohen, the Wild
wood Health Officer, who, she asserted
told her the patient was a sufferer OF
rheumatism.
DR.. Cohen was called to the stand at
this point and said the case in question
seemed TO him to be one Of rheumatism.
DR.. Cohen also defended his action in
allowing Rosamond Victor to go from
Wildwood to Philadelphia, where she
died of the infantile plague. He said
when he saw the child he did not think
she had q true case.
There were twenty-five more cases of
infantile paralysis reported to the State
Department of Health today.-Phila-

Dear Sir:-I wish to say as one of

joyed greatly the orshestra of the past
summer. MI. Pfeiffer is a thoroughly
trained musician and surely his music
is of great educational value to the
people of Wildwood. 1t is surely a
treat for US living so far from the large
cities to have an opportunity to hear
such music as we had the past sum-
mer. l through my profession As a
teacher come in contact with a large
number Of our residents. 1 have spok-
en- very highly to my pupils about the
orchestra and tried as far as possible to
have them attend the concerts. Trust
that WE may again in the summer of
1917 have the privilege of hearing Mr..
Pfeiffer and his orchestra.

LEATHER MARKET
 STILL VERY HIGH

''The leather market Is high as the of the Guarantee Shoe company, who has just returned from New York and eastern shoe markets. a
 "Fortunately we bought heavily several months ago, when the market was good deal lower. My business in the east was to select the styles we wanted our shoes made. Shoes will be fancier boots of patent and fancy combinations will be much in vogue. There is ten dency toward fancy styles in mems shoes, too. Tans will be extensively worn. Some of them will be mace with flare tips, heav- fly perforated.
 Leather is scarce and high. I known one man who owns $2,000,000 worth Of light calf skins in Russia. The Russian government placed an embargo on leather expectations. His skins are too light for Russian consumption, but nevertheless he has so far been unable to get permis- sion to ship them out.
 ''As an example of the advancing mar ket, the United States government eold 30, 900 pairs of army shoes to Brooklyn man about six months ago for s1121a per pair A few days ago this man, was told, sold the same shoes back to the government at $3.75 per pair.
 Mrs Weaver and I spent last Sunday at Plattsburg. Eight or ten thousand men are in training there. They take the preparedness proposition seriously, and are working hard. A number of military training camps appear to be scattered around that section and understand they are all well supported.

DEFINITE PLANS FOR THE MUSCLE SHOAL LSBETTERMENT
 DISCUSSED AT MEETING

Definite plans for the development of Muscle Shoals and for securing the To- cation at that point of the $20,000,000 gov ernment nitrate plant were outlined at the meeting in Nashville Friday, accord ing to W. Blanks Everett, assistant gem eral manager of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday. Birmingham was rep resented at the meeting by MT. Everett and Henry Hiden, the other members of the committee being unable to attend A large delegation went from the state of Alabama. MT. Everett took a promi- nent part in the convention, and was named as one of the committee of five which is to select the committee of 100 to go to Washington and present the claims of the Alabama site.
 The convention was a splendid suc- cess" declared MT. Everett. There were about 800 peoplep resent, including dele gates from practically every southern state. The unanimous opinion of those attending the meeting was that Muscle Shoals could land this big government to make the matter absolutely certain was to secure a proper presentation of the claims of the Alabama site. It was reported that the south was a unit on port from all parts of the country had

HERZL MEMORIAL HERE NEXT SUNDAY Elaborate Plans Made to Honor the Great. Zion-
 ist Leader

All the arrangements have been com pleted for the holding. at Knesseth Israel synagogue next Sunday evening of the Herzl memorial service, with the excep- tion of few minor details. which with the programme in full will be perfected at the regular monthly meeting of Tik- vath Zion, the local Zionish organization, at Maccabee temple, 12O Fourth avenue, at 3:30 this afternoon.
 Every member of Tikvath Zion is ur- gently requested to attend the meeting today and to participate in the further perfecting of the proposed memorial serv- ices in honor of the memory of one or the greatest sons and leaders in Israel.
 In July, 1904, in the midst of his numer- ous patriotic and benevolent activities and in the zenith of his great usefulness and popularity, Herzl died at vienna, Austria, after years of strenuous service in the cause of his people and the inter national Zionist movement, which he con- ceived and brought into being and after having seen the Congress firmly estab- .ished and many of the Zionist enterprises in the Holy Land materialized and placed on a sound, practical footing.
 Preceding the memorial service next Sunday will be an account Of the prog ress and activities of American Zionism- as well as a review of the proceedlngs of the Nineteenth National Zionist con vention held recently at Philadelphia-by Charles Lass of this city Appropriate musical selections will introduce the memorial features of the meeting, which will consist of elegies on Dr.. Herzy and reviews of his marvellous career and his diplomatic and organizing activities.
 The main elegy will probably be pro nounced by Rabbi Fineberg of New York.
 George Tunkle, superintendent of the Birmingham Hebrew school, who knew Dr. Herzl personally. and who was delegate to the Fourth International con gress in 1900 in London, will speak on "Herzl a Second Ezras."
 Frank Abelson will chant the Memo riam" in Hebrew, after the prescribed order of the Jewish orthodox faith.
 The meeting, which will be presided over by l. Abelson, president of Tikvath Zion, will conclude by the congregation singing the "Halegkvah,'' the stirring universal Zionist hymn.

K|LBY A VISITOR
 ID BIRMINGHAM Lieutenant Governor to Be a Candidate for the
 Governorship

Lieut-Gov. Thomas E.. Kilby of Annis- ton, who will be a candidate for gov ernor two years hence, was in Birming- ham on business yesterday. MT. Kilby has not yet made his formal announce ment, but 1t is known that at the proper time he will begin an active campaign for the position of chief executive of the state.
 q am in Birmingham on business, not politics." said Governor Kilby, when asked regarding the gubernatorial race. T have been extremely busy for the past few months with business matters and I am here today on some personal affairs. Business conditions in Anniston are very satisfactory and our city IS rapidly forging to the front among the more progressive manufacturing centers of the state and the south. We have had number of important developments in our district during the past year and the outlook for the fall is extremely bright"
 Regarding politics Governor Kilby had nothing to state concerning when he would make his formal announcement for governor. His friends. who are under stood to be in touch with his political plans, are authority for the statement that MT. Kilby is in the race to the finish with the intention of capturing the honor, and that he will conduct a most active campaign. He is at the present time the only man who, it is known positively, will be in the race.
 The friends of Mir. Kilby contend that his record as lieutenant governor, which carried with it the presidency of the state senate, will be to his advantage in the coming race. They are not at all disturbed over the fact that practically every member of the recent legislature who has offered for office since that time has met defeat. They point out that by his committee appointments and rulings as head of the senate, he treated both the majority and the minority factions with impartiality and that his votes on important measures which were tied in the senate were such as will work to his advantage two years hence.

BIRMINGHAM BOY AT
 THE PLATTSBURG CAMP

The following extracts from a per sonal letter by Chappell Cory, Jr.. who with his brother, Armstrong Cory, is at tending the military training camp in Plattsburg, N. r., Is interesting from many viewpoints:
 We reached Plattsburg in fine shape after a good nights rest in Albany. Had beautiful trip up the Hudson, but little windy and chilly, almost cold. Wished for one of the overcoats many of the wise ones were wearing. Needless to say, we enjoyed Washington and New York. Washington seemed mighty slow, though. after we struck New York. Found Bank head leading in one House in Washing ton and Heflin in the other the times we were in Congress. Saw everything in both places, including Ghetto and China town. Coney Island had a million people on 1t the day we went
 "Plattsburg s beyond describing. The scenery Is beautiful, and Lake Champlain as pretty as the Alpine lakes. Went in 1t this afternoon, but .ain't gonna do 1t no more, too cold; ice in it somewhere. About 5000 of us tried it this afternoon, and everybody says never again.
 There must be be 4OoO boys here now. everything overflowing and more coming. Besides the junior camp for college men, there is to be the senior camp for busi- ness men-30O0 strong, which will bring our number of rockies up to about 7ooo. This besides all the officers and men of the regular army who are present near Hon. Borden Burr of Birmingham Is coming. Wish he'd bring some of our college professors. show them how 1t feels to be kept busy. These folks are certainly working us; no time for rest and play Get up in mornings at 5:45, go to bed at 10:30 Between times we move Climate not so good as Asheville, N. C. Hot today and cool tonight, one day nor as it ever gets at home, next cold ana rainy. and that night warm-never know what to look for.

FURTHER CUTS IN
 DEPARTMENT HEADS
 MAY BE ANNOUNCED
Lengthy Economy Confer ence Held at City Hall Yesterday to Out
 line Plans

There was a lengthy executive meet ing of the city commissioners yester- day morning in which all the civic de- partment heads were summoned to ap- pear. The subject of this Secret" ses- sion was authoritively stated to have been economy.
 As to whether any salaries were topped off was not stated. but the grave faces of the departmental heads as they emerged from the two-hour con- ference indicated that serious discus sion had taken place which affected them and their monetary remuneration from the civic treasury.
 Indications are that a. drastic cut will take place in both the fire and police departments, as under the present agi- tation for public health that depart ment cannot be touched except by re- ducing salaries and that will hardly be attempted.
 It was explained in detail yesterday that Birmingham faced a deficit of $246.OOO as result of the litigation started by T. c. Mcdonald.
 To make up this deficit the depart mental heads were informed that some drastic economy must be practiced. No cuts were announced in any department and the conference yesterday was said to be merely the prelude of another meeting in which the departmental heads will be informed of their part of the burden which must be shared by the entire city in order to avoid bank ruptcy. In fact. it was hinted that yes- terday's conference was to prepare the city's department heads for the econo- mics that must follow if the $246,- 900 needed is to be raised. The com mission plainly informed the civic em- ployes that they must do their part.
 At Tuesdays meeting of the city commission 1t Is expected that the street tax ordinance will be introduced. Commissioner Arlie Barber. who was very vigorous opponent of the street tax when introduced some months ago, announced yesterday that he would vote for the ordinance as there appeared nothing else to do in the present finan- cial condition of Birmingham.
 The license schedule is under the close scrutiny of the city's financial experts and following the passage of a street tax ordinance it is very like ly that horizontal raise in the license schedule will be announced by the city commission.
 The matter of charging an incidental fee for attendance at the public schools will not be taken up until next Sep tember.
 In the meanwhile awaiting the passing of these extraordinary financial meas ures the city commissioners hope that the community is sufficiently educated to the shortcomings of the present tax ing system that it will understand the reasons that compel additional taxa tiOn.
