VOTE ON RAIL
FARE REQUEST
Federation VIII Hold Conference to
Discuss If Car Rates Should
Be Increased.

Request of the Tri-City Railway
company for an increased fare
from arsenal workingmen will be
taken up at a meeting of the Rock
Island arsenal federation, the or
ganization which represents the
thousands of employees at the big
government plant.
The war department has the
power to change the rate, which is
now a. fraction over cents a ride.
The first official conference at
which the men were notified that
an increased fare would be asked
for was held last week at which
company officials, Colonel H. B.
Jordan, arsenal commandant, and
the heads of the mems organiza-
tions were present.
Given a higher fare in Illinois
and with an increase to a 7-cent
rate in Davenport but a question
of time, the company has taken the
stand that the arsenal rate also
ought to be averaged upward to
correspond to the general fare in
crease all over the system.
Arsenal men several weeks ago
went on record as opposed to an
increased fare on the arsenal lines.

CITY employees
ARE DISMISSED
Robert Peace, Hal Moseley
and A. E. Holland
Let Out.
RUMoRs BLAME POLITICS
Commissioner Huffaker Says
Lack of Funds to Pay for
Services Cause.

Robert Peace and Hal b. Moseley,
city sanitary officers. and A. f. Hol-
land. city truant officer, were dis
missed from the department OF health
and education Monday afternoon by
Commissioner Huffaker. Mr.. Huna-
ker stated Tuesday morning that the
men were discharged because the
fund out of which came their salaries
had been exhausted. He laid the
blame for this at the door of the in
fiuenza, which he saids required a
large sum to fight during it's rampage
here last year. The men were all
valuable employees, stated Mr.. Huff
aker, and 1t was with regret that he
had to let them go. Robert Peace
was formerly a member of the de-
tective department and Hal Moseley
former clerk in the office OF the
county trustee. Mr.. Holland has fof
a number of years been in the en-
ploy of the city in various depart
ments.
1t was rumored about the streets
Monday that the dismissal OF the
men might be laid at the door OF
politics, but this was denied by all
concerned. However, there are some
who claim that Commissioner Huffa-
ker was prompted by other motives
than the one given for his action. The
commissioner was to bring the cases
before the board this afternoon and
ask ratification of his action

ASK CHARTER FOR new
AUTO SALES AGENCY
PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN
INCoRPoRATORS.
Novel Service Station in Con-
nection With Templar
and Doris Cars,

A petition for a charter OF incor-
poration was filed Tuesday morning
for the General Auto Sales company.
The new corporation is capitalized at
$4,000. The incorporators include
five of Chattanooga most prominent
business men. The incorporators are
]. R. Huff, Glen N. Woodwork, e.
w. Duffy, ]. w. Burress and d. Man
ker Patten. The company will ham
die two popular cars, the new Tenn
plar and Doris.
The company will not operate a
garage or supply station for the pres
ent, Mr.. Huff announced, but VIII
handle parts and operate a service
station for their two cars. A novel
plan will be adopted by the agents
in the handling of Doris and Tenn
plar cars. Purchasers of the cars
will be encouraged to bring in their
cars every ten days or two weeks for
a general inspection by shop men
familiar with the particular make OF
automobiles. Machines give trouble,
declared Mr.. Huff, for the simple rea-
son that they are operated by people
who are not familiar with their
mechanism and neglect to keep the
bearings oiled and creased. The new
system of service is expected to prove
very popular with the motorist.
Mr. Huff said that a location had
not been definitely settled upon, but
that there were several possible
buildings on Broad street under the
consideration by the new company.

.BOYDSTON ARRAICNED
IN CRIMINAL COURT
NEW AND INTERESTING
POINT INVOLVED.
Defense Insists Transporting
Whisky for Personal Use
Not Unlawful.

A new and interesting point of law
was brought up in the criminal court
Tuesday morning when Ed Boydston
was arraigned on the charge Of trans
porting liquor. When the case was
called for trial, T. Pope Shepherd and
w. H. Cummings, counsel for Boyd
ston, argued that the offense of which
Boydston was guilty was governed
only by federal statute and was a
violation of no state law. He stated
that Boydston was guilty of bring
ing in fourteen pints of whisky for
his own personal use and the case
now was. pending in the federal court
and would be heard Wednesday. He
said it was not a violation of a state
law to bring whisky into the state,
but this offense was governed only
by a federal statute.
Judge McReynolds granted an ap-
plication of the defense for a con-
tinuance of the case in criminal court
until the case of Boydston on the
same charge is settled in the federal
court. Boydston will be arraigned
for trial Wednesday before Judge e.
T. Sanford.
Boydston, who at the time was
night fireman at the county Jail, was
arrested several weeks ago by Chief
Deputy BILLY" Smith. The officer
had learned that Boydston was COM
ing into the city with some whisky
and finding out where he was going
to leave the train, went to the scene,
where he found Boydston and an
other man. The other man had the
grip. Boydston stated he was bring
ing in the whisky only for his own
use. The state case against Boyd
ston will be called again Thursday in
the criminal court.

While the main program for the
welcoming home day" celebration
has already been worked out by the
special committee of men from the
churches. the details of the special
features for the day are increasing
in interest each day. Chattanooga
business men started out Tuesday
morning disposing of the victory
bonds issued by the general commit
tee and a number of them have al
ready been sold. 1t is thought by
Chairman G. H. Patten that the
amount needed, $4,000, will be raised
by Friday at noon with very little
trouble on the part of the organiza-
ton. The fact that admission tickets
to all events occurring during the
day at Warner park are attached to
the bonds makes them of full value
to the parties purchasing them for 81.
1t has been predicted by some of
the leading citizens in Chattanooga
that there will be gathered at War
ner park on July one of the largest
crowds that has ever been brought
together at any one event in this
city.
The tentative program as arranged
for the entire day, at which time all
business concerns will be closed and
Chattanoogans will honor their re-
turned heroes, is as follows:

MYSTERY THROWN
AROUND DAMAGE CASE
DECLARATION FILED Is AT
ONCE WITHDRAWN.
Lawyers Refuse to Explain
Basis Of John Stokes
Suit for Damages.

Somewhat of a mystery seems to be
involved in the suit for $4,000 pend
ing in the circuit court under the
style of John stokes, plaintiff, against
the West Ellis hospital and Drs.
George M. West and G. Manning Ell
lis. The declaration in the case was
filed this morning in the clerks Office
and Immediately withdrawn by plain-
tiff's attorneys. Miller & Ballard and
]. C. Farris, and all efforts on the part
of the reporter to get the facts of the
case from them were unavailing. 1t
could not even be ascertained where
the plaintiff resided. From the style
of the case it is presumed that it
grew out of some relationship the
plaintiff has had with the defendants
in a professional capacity, but from
the silence of the parties it seems
that the public will know little about
the facts until a public trial discloses
them

REAL ISSUES RAISED
Question of Preparedness Ruled Out {
Ford Case by Court.

Question of Preparedness Ruled Out Of
Ford Case by Court.
Mount Clemens, Mich, June I'D.
N. S.)-Real issues of the Ford Tribune
81, 900, 600 libel suit were written into the
trial today when Judge Tucker ruled
that the issue of preparedness is not
relevant The judges ruling follows:
How much or how little prepared
ness was really necessary for the ade-
quate preservation of the lives and
property of our citizens on the border,
or how much or how little preparedness
Henry Ford believed in, are not rele-
want matters, it seems to me- but
whether Henry Ford sought to interfere
with or nullify the efforts of the gov
eminent to prepare to the extent 1t
conceived to be necessary, whether that
preparedness was much or little, ade-
uuate or inadequate, is relevant
Judge fuckers ruling makes the
question of whether what Ford may
have said or done justifies the criticism
aimed at him in the Tribune editorial
the real issue in the case.
F. c. Alderman, former New York
newspaperman, testified for the defense
today, telling of&an interview with Ford
on April %, 1916. when Ford, the wit
ness said, told group of reporters that
there was little need OF heavy arma-
ment The witness testified Ford said
that the sinking of the Lusitania and
the Sussex were not sufficient cause for
a break with Germany. He declared
Ford said Americans had no business
on those ships.
