May CLOSE POOL
ROOMS IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2S.-Legisla-
ton closing pool rooms during the pc
riod of the war will probably be in
troduced in the general assembly in
the session which convenes a few
weeks hence Throughout the state
there appears to be crystallizing a
strong sentiment against these places
on account of the idleness and loaf
ing which they breed. The special la
Dor committee of the State Council of
Defense, which is making war on va
grants, recently recommended the clos
ing of pool rooms. Then came the
announcement from Washington that
all registered men must work or fight.
Now comes DR.. ]. w. Ham, famous
fighting pastor of the Baptist Taber-
nacle of Atlanta, with a survey show
ing more than 1,2a0 men every day
can be found in the pool rooms of At
lanta alone He ass ,rts that many of
these loafers live on the shameful pro-
fits of prostitution furnished them by
women. He not only favors closing
the pool rooms but also suspending
professional baseball while the war is
on.

ORDERED BY M'ADOO

WASHINGTON d. c., May Is
To meet wage increase just announc-
ed and higher costs of coal and other
supplies this year, Director General
McAdoo has ordered railroad freight
rates in the United States aised 20
per cent. and passenger fares in
creased to 3 cents a mile from the
present basis of 2 1-2'cents.
It is estimated that the program will
bring between $S00,0O0,00J and $780,
100000 more revenues to the railroads
within the next year. 1t represents by
ia the biggest rate inca case in the
history of railroads.
The new freight charges which cover
both class and commodity rates, be-
come effective June 25th. and the pas
senger increase will go into effect
June 10th.
Issued under authority granted by
the railroad act to President Wilson,
acting through the director geneal,
the order wipes out all intra-state low
err rates effective on either freight or
passenger traffic.
Travellers in standard sleeping and
parlor cars are requied TO pay 3 IL
fares. and in tourist sleeping cars IA
cents. Pullman rates remain the same.
