SHIPPERS OBJECT.

Further increase in freight rates as whole
is threatened in the request that the govern
ment be given full control of the rate situation,
intra-state as we'll as interstate.
The argument is advanced that no system of
governmental supervision of railroads would be
successful without power in the federal govern
ment to control the whole rate situation. It is
suggested that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission be given authority to review state rates
and bring them into harmony with interstate
rates.
In many states local rates are considerably
lower tina Interstate rates for haus of equal dis
tance. In other states the differental is in favor
of the railroads But, taken as whole, it is
stated that the authorization of the change
would revise rates upward and would add ma
terially to the incomes of the roads.
Shippers are opposed to the plan and are pre-
pairing to fight it vigorously They maintain that
further increases would work great hardship and
that any attempt to alter existing rates should
be on universal downward scale.

U. S. Not to Continue Furnishing

He Says.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-(By Asso-

icy in shipyard strikes hereafter will
be to "let the job stand" Charles Piez,
director general of the Emergency
Fleet corporation, said today.
He referred particularly to the
strike strike situation in Seattle, where
he said the men had been out for a
week, and to San Francisco, where
he said it was reported the workers
in two trades intended to walk out
shortly and tie up all work in the
district
Director Piez declared the most of
the shipyards needed a breathing
spell, and he didn't think the govern
men would continue to furnish work
at extremely high wages, unless in
creased skill and output justified it.

ATLANTA, Jan. 3O-That 25,672

coffee, doughnuts and other sweet
meats at the canteen in the Terminal

naturally tempting, and the pretty

LIEUT. SLOAN IS
PAINFULLY HURT
In AUTO CRASH

Lieut.. E. c. Sloan of Souther Field,
was painfully injured in an automo-
bile smash-up at Furlow and Lee
streets about o'clock last night, the
result of the speeding of an unknown
car which crossed Lee street, in front
of his car and caused him to lose con-
troll of his machine, which crashed
into a large tree, hurling him through
the Windshield. He suffered severe
cuts on the face and was taken to the
city hospital, where he is confined. 1t
was said at the hospital that he would
not be there more than day or two.
Residents of that part of the city
saw Ford car speeding up Harold
avenue last night, and turn into Fur
low street When it reached Lee
street there was no slackening of
speed. The air service car, going
south on Lee street, driven by Lieut..
Sloan, was travelling rapidly, too, and
hit the rear wheel of the Ford. Ap-
parently the civilian Car was not dam
aged, for it rambled right along, with
out hesitating, and disappeared in the
night up Furlow street. Lieut.. Sloan,
however, lost control of his car from
the impact and the wrenching of the
front wheels of his own car, and it
crashed into tree at the side of the
street, badly damaging the car and
hurting him through the glass. He
was bleeding badly when nearly resi-
dents rushed up. DR.. D. B. Mayes was
hurriedly called and his wounds at
tended to. He was then taken to the
hospital
The police made an effort to locate
the driver of the Ford, but so far have
not been successful.

Meetings Bad For
Flu, Says Physicians.

ATLANTA, Jan. 30.-That the opin-
ion of doctors is swinging back to
closing of public assemblies as an ef-
fective precaution against the spread
of influenza is indicated by the report
of special committee appointed by
the Fulton County Medical Society to
recommend plans for combating the
epidemic in this city.
Congregations of people tend to
disseminate the disease" says the
committee. The gathering of people
in schools, moving pictures, churches
and other places is dangerous and
should be avoided. Street cars should
not be crowded, and should be kept
well ventilated"
The committee further recommends
that physicians obtain supplies OF

physicians in the Fort McPhc. son
hospital and use it to pr vent pned-
mcIia. which is the deadly comp';ca-
ton that accompanies infuanAa,

LONDON, Jan 30.-(By Associated

eliminated any intention of calling up
on Germany and her associates to pay
the Allied countries for the cost OF
the war, or of imposing heavy indemni-

ard, says he has reasons to report.
Great Britain's reported acceptance
of President Wilson's theory of inter-

sion that the treaties with Japan re-
garding northern Pacific islands and
with ARABIA rearding Kamerun must
be arbitrarily modified or torn up.

PASTOR TOC.YE
UP WORK HET {

Because of continued ill health and
on advice of his physician, Rev. S. E..
jenkins, pastor of the Lee Street
church has been forced to give up his
pastorate and has asked the presiding
elder OF this district, Rev. o. B. Ches-
ter of Dawson, for transfer to a
western state.
The information came this morning
to officials of the church in letter
from Rev. Mr.. Jenkins, who stated that
he would be in Americus in a few
days to arrange for his departure. The
letter was written from Macon, where
he is with his brother, Rev. G. R. Jen-
kins, president of Wesleyan. Mrs. Jen-
kins is at Savannah with her father.
Rev. Mr.. Jenkins had been there for
some weeks up till few days ago.
Mr.. Jenkins, who has endeared him
self to a wide circle of friends dur
ing his pastorate here, has been in
failing health for some time Early
last winter, during the first epidemic
of influenza, he contracted the malady,
which greatly strained his already
weakened constitution. He has been
confined a great deal of the time
since.
1t was stated today by an officer of
the church that it will be a simple
matter for Rev. Mr. Jenkins to be
sent by the church to a suitable eli
mate in the west, where he can recup-
crate and still continue his work as a
minister.
The matter of filing the pulpit at
the Lee Street church is now in the
hands of the presiding elder

Doughboys to See
Circus; Hagenback

XM1TH THE AMERICAN AR
w MY OF OCCUPATION, Jan.
30-The Americans in the occu-
pied zone are to be given an op-
portunity to see Hagenback's
trained animals on a war basis.
Before the war Hagenback's had
more than 500 animals, but these
have been reduced in number dur
ing the war, so that when the cir
Gus arrived in Coblenz it had only
100 specimens.
Samuels, llamas and many other
animals have been killed since
the war started, owing to the scar
city of food. Fifteen elephants of
herd of thirty remain. Fifteen
of the elephants were killed last
winter, and the meat sold to civ
ilians in the interior of Germany,
where the circus was exhibiting.
The circus was permitted to
enter the occupied acrea on the
provision that the meat-eating
animals would be fed with the
carcesses of horses and other ami
mails which are considered unfit
for human consumption.
Carl Hagenback is with the cir
Gus. The first performance will
be given February /.

GUILTY OF selling
UNLICENSEDMILK

The right of the District Health
Officer TO refuse or revoke permits
of dairymen shipping milk into the
District was upheld in Police Court
by Judge Hardison yesterday.
Judge Hardison decided the Health
OFFICER had such authority and he
recommended to a jury TO bring a
verdict Of guilty against Martin L.
Shawn, a milk dealer. 403 III street
northeast, who was tried on a charge
Of unlicensed milk.
Testimony showed that Shawn had
been supplied with milk from the
dairy of H. l. Myers at AdaElstown,
Nd, who at the time Of the shipment
of milk to Shawn had no permit from
the District Health Officer. Judge
Hardison reserved sentence in the
case until today.
There are about seventy other sim
liar milk cases to be tried in court,
It has been the contention Of counsel
for the milk dealers that the Health
OFFICER had no authority to refuse
permits for the shipment Of milk into
the District. His contention was that
IL the milk shipped into the District
was found to be impure, the Health
Officers only procedure was to prose-
cute him under the impure food law.
