Vargo Was Not Arrested With
Wives Of Aliens, Penr0se States
Driver Who Carried Missing Terminal Station Gives
Additional Details in Case.

Fourth street address, whore Lieut..
Vargo went into the house and came
out within a few minutes with his
suitcase and directed him to 80 TO
the Terminal station. as he (Lieut.
vargo) wanted TO catch the s:ob
train.
On. the way TO the station Lieut..
Vargo went into a cigar stand az
Ninth and Market and brought out
another suitcase. Mr.. Rogers says
they reached the station at . o'clock
and that the lieutenant paid him ana
went into the station. No converse
ton was carried on between the two
and Lieut.. Vargo gave no intimation
as to his plans other than to say
that he wanted to catch the 9:05
train for Cincinnati.
II Is understood that he purchased
his ticket In the afternoon at the
ticket ONCE on Market street ana
that while there an employe OF the
United States department Of Justice
ONCE came in and purchased tickets
to send two German prisoners away.
She knew Lieut.. Vargo. but noticed
that he didn't appear to recognize
her.
From information gathered. the
latest reports from the investigation
made at the camp show that there
is a shortage of about $4,000 in Lieut..
Vargas accounts. However, the
committee has not finished going oyer
the records and It may develop that
more Is missing.
II Is reported that Lieut.. vargo is

said that he had no i'll will against
Prof. Winder and that he was his
friend, but that Prof. Jones was the
best man for the schools.
He declared Jones to be the best
all-round school man in the south
and said that the city needed him In
the completion of its big constructive
program. His experience, he said, IN
school work, as well as In school
building work. peculiarly fitted him
for the position.
Mayor A. w. Chambliss voiced this
sentiment also and said that Prof
Jones would be worth $4,000 a year
in many ways. He heartily Endorsed
the selection and paid high tribute to
the ability and efficiency of Prof.
Jones.
Fraxier's Statement.
After the meeting, Commissioner
Frazier gave out a prepared state
ment regarding the selection, part OF
which follows:
"Prof. Jones splendid ability as a
school executive is we'll known through
out the south. believe we are indeed
fortunate to secure his services In this
important era of our educational anairs.
Prof. Jones has taught In the public
elementary and in the high schools OF
city schools of White county from 1881
to 1896; was county superintendent OF
Hamilton county from 1908 to 1907 ana
established the system Of county high
schools In Hamilton. He retired from
this Office to become state superintend-
emit of public education In 1907.
Wrote County Law.
'Among the many things to Prof.
Jones credit Is the fact that he wrote
the county school board law that was
passed in 1907, and urged the passage
of an act making the state appropria-
ton for education, which hitherto had
been conditioned upon a surplus, posi-
tive and binding obligation on the state.
ut can be readily seen that II our
state revenues had been based on a
surplus. as in 1905. the state would
cation for the last ten years
I'm 1909, the state legislature passed
what is known as the general education
bill, which placed the schools OF the
state on a firm financial basis by giving
them a fixed percentage OF the gross
revenues of the state. This measure
provided for the establishment OF the
schools. All the financial legislation
since thai date has been very largely
a slight modification of the provisions
. of this act, for which Prof. Jones was
in large part responsible.
I'm 1911 he took charge OF the Mid
die Tennessee State Normal school and
opened 1t with an attendance little in
of that institution to date is about 1900
students.

of thin people who are searching con-
tinually for some method by which
they may increase their flesh to nor
mai proportions by the filling out of
ugly hollows. the rounding off of pro-
bloom of health and attractiveness. IL
is no wonder that many and varied
suggestions along this line appear
from time to time In public print.
While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle
causes in different individuals. II is a
/well-known fact that the lack OF suf-
ficient phosphorus in the human sys-
tenn is very largely responsible for this
condition. Experiments on humans
and animals by many scientists have
demonstrated beyond question of doubt
that a body deficient in phosphorous
becomes nervous. sickly and thin. A
noted author and professor in his book
Chemistry and Food Nutrition" pub
lished in 1918, says: 80 that the
amount OF, PHOSPHORUS required for the
normal nutrition of man is seriously
underestimate in many of our standard
text books"
1t seems to be well established that
this deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may
now be met by the use of an organic
phosphate known throughout English
speaking countries as Bitro-PhosDhate
Through the assimilation of this phos-
phate by the nerve tissue the phos
phoric content when absorbed in the
amount normally required by nature
soon produces a welcome change in
our body and mind. nerve tension disap-
pears, vigor and strength replace
weakness and lack of energy, and the
whole body soon loses its ugly hollows
and abrupt angles. becoming enveloped
in a glow OF perfect health and beauty
and the will and strength to be Up and

LAND new PLANT
BIG MERCERIZING PLANT
BEING ORGANIZED.
East Tennessee Textile Men
Hold Meeting and Name Or
ganization Committee.

Chattanooga may be successful in
landing one of the largest merceriz-
ing plants in the country. The huge
plant will require hydro-electric
power and an abundance of la
Dor. Chattanooga can furnish both.
Whether or not the Crystal Merceriz-
ing company locates in this city or
goes to some other East Tennessee
town depends principally upon lind
ing a suitable site. Some strong in
terests are pulling for Chattanooga
and Indications are that the new
company will locate its plant in this
district. The chamber of commerce
and other organizations should get
behind the proposition III an effort
to secure the new industry, accord
ing to Walter Fred.
For some time there has been talk
of q new mercerizing company, but
the first definite steps were taken
Tuesday afternoon when a number
of mill owners of the state met in
the offices of w. B. Davis and ap-
pointed a committee to organize a
company, apply for a charter and
attend to other details of organiza-
ton.
The Crystal Mercerizing company
will be one of the largest in the
country, with a capital of more than
100000. The committee selected by
the various textile interests is COM
posed of w. B. Davis. of Chatta-
nooga. chairman; C. H. Bacon. OF
Loudon; John M. Jones. of Sweet
, water; Garnet Andrews, and ]. H.
Wilson, of Chattanooga. The ques-
ton of location and definite amount
of capital will be determined within
few days. Some fifteen or twenty
mills are interested in the new COM
pany. The new plant will confine
itself to the manufacture of yarns,
which will be used by the hosiery
mills interested.

J. Francis Gilbert.

John Gregg has received from his son,
Mack, the following letter, dated, Ian
gres, France, Nov. %, 1918:
Dear Parents:
Owing to the fact that the censorship
regulations have become less stringent
recently, am going to try to give you
an idea of what We have been doing
since our arrival on French soil.
Well, to start with, we left Camp
Mills, N. Y, one cold night in Novem-
Der, and after several hours of travel
ing by train and ferry we arrived at
Hoboken pier, from where we sailed on
the Goth of November, on the good ship
Tenadores. We had quite a trip. The
sea was quite rough at times and finally,
after lodging submarines for fourteen
days, we arrived at the French port or
st. Nazarie. We were a pretty tired
and hungry bunch of lads and were very
thankful for the week IS rest that they
let us have, even if it was a pretty
8 cold berth. - Then, while we were
there, they separated US fellows who had
been together for two or three years.
They took all the privates and sent
