NEW MEN WILL
TAKE PLACES OF
BOSTON POLICE

With the organization of a new po-
lice force already begun, and the
striking police barred from return
ing to the force under any conditions,
the last chapter in Boston's police
strike is now being written, city au-
thorities believe. The latest devel-
opment in which the issue at stake
was discussed and disposed of with
f7rmness came when Police Commits
sioner Curtis declined to meet John
F. McInnis, leader of the striking
policemen, and other labor officials.
He subsequently sent word
through Henry F. Long, secretary to
the governor, that he would talk
with them Gin my own behalf" later.
This phrase was interpreted to mean
that he wished to remove any Off
cial status from the interview.
Commissioner Curtis Saturday is
sued an order finally dismissing
from the force the 10 policemen
found guilty of violating the rule
against joining an outside organiza-
ton. The men had been under sus-
pension and technically were still
members of the force.
At the same time Governor Cool
ige, replying to a telegram from
Samuel Gompers, in which the lat
ter requested that the authorities
withdraw their rule against police
affiliations with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and reinstate the
police temporarily, sent a telegram to
Mr.. Gompers in which he stated he
would support the commissioner of
police of Boston.
Commissioner Curtis telegraphed to
Governor Coolidge that under the
circumstances he did not deem it de-
sirable to have a conference" with
the labor leaders.
By permission of the civil service
commissioners, backed by an opin-
iCn of the attorney general, the COM
missioner will recruit his new force
without civil service requirements
who are residents of this state. The
commissioner published the promo
ton to lieutenancies of four SER
geants who have been active in train
ing the volunteer policemen.
The city, though restored to vir-
tually normal conditions of order
under the presence of the states
military forces, is concerned over the
immediate future. The threat of a
general strike is in the air. The
statement of President Gompefs in
New York that he supposed that
assume responsibility for the conse
quences of his action" directed at
tention to the next move likely to be
made by the central labor union.

Sheriff and Striker
Shot in Clash at r
North Carolina Mill

ALBERMARLE, N. c., Sept. 15.--
AS the result of strikers at cotton
mills here attempting to prevent non
union men from going to work this
morning, a serious clash took place
at one of the gates of the Wiscasett
mills, in which two persons, Sheriff
Blalock, of Stanley county, and a
striker named Porter, were injured
by bullets. It is not believed they
are seriously hurt.
The Stanley county Jail was al
most filled with prisoners at IL
o'clock. scores of arrests having
been made following the trouble at
the mill. 1t is reported that the
strikers have threatened to storm
the Jail and release the men taken
into custody today. and great ex-
citement prevails throughout the
town.
although Governor Beckett, at the
request of local authorities. has or
Glered three companies of troops to
proceed to Albemarle at once, 1T is
feared that further trouble will oe-
cur before the soldiers can arrive

CLOTHING PRICES
GOING HIGHER

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Manufacturer
of mems clothing are notifying their
trade of another$ big increase in
price. Cloth is very scarce-trim-
mings have increased in cost over
100 per cent-the mills are far be-
hind with their product&on-workfIx
hours have been shortened and work
ingmen have been given big in
crease in wages.
Extensive inquiries among large
tailors brought only one hopeful
suggestion. JAS D. Bell, head Of the
Bell Tailors, Adams at Green St,
Chicago, Ill, declared the only way
to keep prices within reach Of the
average purse was to cut out the
middleman; to save two or three un-
necessary profits by buying direct
from the manufacturers, the same
as the government buys its sup
plies.
The Bell Tailors are said to be the
largest tailoring concern in the
world making and selling it's clothes
direct to the consumer. This COM
pany does not handle readymades but
makes all its garments to individual
measure and guarantees to save from
25 to DO per cent. Readers of The
Journal should write for a copy Of

fr11 fabrics and a1I the latest New

ATLANT BASKERVILLE
AUTOMOBILE ROAD
TO De CONSTRUCTED
State Engineer NeeI An
nounceS Completion Of
Plans for Great Highway
to Be Finished in 1921

An automobile highway through
the heart of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, penetrating one of the most
beautiful scenic sections of the
American continent, will be COM
pleted in 1921, linking Atlanta with
Asheville, N. c., and the other noun
tain resorts by a 150-mile thorough
fare.
Announcement to this effect was
made Monday by w. r. Neel, state
highway engineer, as the result OF
a series of conferences with county
authorities of north Georgia which
brought about agreements under
which the various links of the high
way will be constructed.
The new road will start from At
lanta and pass through Buckhead,
Roswell, Alpharetta, Cumming, Daw-
sonville, Dahlonega, Porter Springs,
Evansville, Murphy, N. c., and
thence to Asheville, N. c., and
Knoxville, Tenn. 1t will provide the
shortest route to the famous noun
tain resorts of Tennessee and North
Carolina and will open up terri
tory which, for scenic beauty and,
grandeur, is not surpassed in any
country on the globe.
That portion Of the route be-
tween Atlanta and Roswell is al
ready built: the link between Ros-
we'll and Cumming is now being
constructed. while the road from
Cumming to Jacksonville is pro-
vided for. the federal appropriation
having been made by Union and
Lumpkin counties. which with the
federal funds. will suffice to par
TALLY construct the highway and
make it possible to carry the work
forward with additional financing.
The engineers have been authorized
to begin work on this link at once.
It is estimated that the grading
Of the road between Dahlonega and
B1airsville will cost $4,000 per
mile, thus making the total cost Of
this link something like 100000,
Operations will begin in the spring
and by 1921 it is planned to have
the entire road open and ready for
traffic. BY that time there will have
been completed a 150-mile loop from
Atlanta to Lawrenceville, Gaines
Vile. Corne1ia. Clayton and Hiaswas-
sec to Blairsville. This will open
up. another section of north Geor-
gia' and bind the northern tier of
counties more closely to other Sec
lions Of the state. Hitherto the
business of these counties has been
transacted principally with North
Carolina and Tennessee concerns,
owing to the lack of adequate con-
nection with Georgia.
The construction of these high
ways through the mountainous Sec
tions Of the state is being pushed
as rapidly as possible, sentiment in
favor of better transportation facil-
tiles having grown as the result of
educational campaigns and bond is
sues. The Georgia State Automobile
association has been active in this
propaganda, it's secretary, Frank T.
Reynolds. devoting a large portion
of his time to speaking tours in
teh interest Of good roads.

Prosecution Introduces Note
Said to Have Been Written
by Hunter Showing Plans
to Leave City

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-Maude Moore
testifytng in her own behalf in the
preliminary hearing in which she is
charged with murder of Leroy D.
Harth, a we11-known business man
of Knoxville, last Monday. She re-
lated all the narrowing details of
the struggle she claimed ensued be-
tween Harth and herself.
Martin Hunter, fried of the de-
PENDANT, who is also under arrest
as an alleged accessory, admitted
found in his room Thursday, which
was introduced in an effort to show
that he at least had intended to
leave the city, and apparently to
stay
The note reads:
"Tear those letters up. To Ollie,
old pal. I am gone, please keep
quiet-pal Martin"
r. A. Slagle, paying teller at the
East Tennessee Savings bank, tes-
titled that the defendant, whom he
said he knew as "Maudene Moore, -
drew out all of her deposit at the
bank last Monday. He said that she
remarked to him that he was "go-
ing west however, on cross-exam-
nation, Mr.. Slagle said he could
not be positive that she said she
was going west, adding that she
may have said she was going away.
The evidence was not of the sor-
did nature that had been anticipa-
ted. neither of the opposing attor-
neys attempted to question the
character of either Miss Moore or
Leroy Harth.
The testimony of J. M. Jett, Mar
tin Hunter. and J. w. Hangstefer
was regarded by both sides as vital.
II the examination of Mr.. Hunter,
apparent, effort. was made to prove
been pre-arranged between the wit
ness and Miss Moore.
Five other witnesses. all for the
prosecution, were examined, but
their evidence was not material.
Mr. Jet told of Harth's saying, up
he lay dying, that Miss Moore shot
him. and that he guessed she
meant to rob him. Mr.. Hangstefer
testified to Harth's meeting Miss
Moore.
Self-defense is Miss Moore's plea.
Chattanoogans who sympathize with
her have begun collecting a popular
fund to help defend her.
At the conclusion of the two-day
preliminary hearing she was held to
next term of criminal court under
bond of $4,000, while Martin Hun
ter was held to court under $4,000
bond, charged with being accessory
after the fact. Both were released
on bond.
Deafening applause from a packed
courtroom greeted the defendant
counseps declaration Friday aft
ernoon that Maude Moore, instead of
being convicted, should have a cross
of honor pinned on her for killing
Leroy Harth, stating that she had
probably saved many other girls from
being ''debauched."
Comparisons were made between
the character of the defendant and
that of the dead man, and defendant
counsel referred to Harth as a rich
man with a diamond ring worth
enough to buy poor mans farm"
also as man who had money,
whisky and an automobile and a de-
sire for nothing but to satisfy his
lust"
Counsel for the prosecution in
sisted that Maude Moore had intended
to rob Harth, but admitted Harth
was going on a mission of immor-
atty When found Harth had a So
500 diamond ring on his finger, the
defense said. The brother-in-law OF
Harth while on the witness stand
was Kissed by the crowd.

Bolsheviki Active.

Archangel, Jan. 30.-The Bolshe- wiki are concentrating considerable number of troops in the territory be- tween the Vologda railway and the line of the Vega river, apparently with the object of either surrounding the allied column or, by cutting thru, to isolate the column to the eastward of the Dvina. 8here are numerous winter roads thru the swamps in this section and the allied scouts report enemy achievements arriving from the south over several of these roads.
 An enemy force of approximately 1000 men began an attack at 3:15 o'clock yesterday morning on the British and Russian position west of Taresevo, attacking with such vio- lence that the defense was obliged to evacuate the village of Alexiffskaya.
 One of the allied airplanes flew over Shenkursk yesterday. It is re- ported that the town had not been burned as refugees had stated.
 The village of Shegovarsk, on the Vaga, which was evacuated several days ago, has been occupied by enemy infantry and cavalry with five guns.

Bolshevist Army Large and Is Us- ing Gas Shells Against Americans and British--Little Army Is in

Washington, Feb. 2.-The situa- tion in Archangel district is regard ed as extremely critical.
 Advices to the War Department yesterday made no reference to an appeal for endorsements, but it was said here that inasmuch as this was matter for determination by the supreme war council at Paris, a more complete report had been sent to that body, possibly with a re- quest for additional support. Reports that the Bolshevist forces were using gas shells was taken here by some of- ficers to mean that this equipment had been supplied thru German sources, notwithstanding the terms of the armistice, and if this was estab- lished as fact it was intimated dras- tic action against the Germans would be taken by Marshal Foch.

The American Force, 4,5oo.

Available figures obtained by War Department officials show that the British force in the region of the north is approximately 5000; Ameri- cans 4,500; French 1,500; loyal Rus sians under British officers, 1,200: and 1000 other soldiers of one of the smaller Allied countries. The exact disposition of these forces is not known officially in Washington, no report on this having been made. Army officials said the body of troops now retreating before the well-armed and re-enforced Bolsheviki was small. being little more than an advanced post. Reports of a 40-mile retire. ment, however, led experts to believe that larger body was engaged than had been supposed. General March. chief of staff, said week ago that the number of troops in the advance south of Archangel was sufficiently large to keep the situation in hand.
 Use of gas and high explosives by the Bolsheviki was looked upon by army men as the most disquieting feature of the military reports as they affected Americans.
