MAYOR WAS ABLE TO
GET COAL FOR CITY

In conversation with Mayor Shep-
pard related yesterday how the city
found it possible to get the coal it
needed at the time it had been con-
fronted with what seemed like an i'm
possibility. For some time the CITY
has had a contract with a company
OF Tennessee which is state owned
corporation, to furnish coaA at some
thing like SO per ton. A few months
ago shipments stopped and the city
was Informed that because of com
blnation of circumstances over which
the company had no control it would
be impossible to supply the city any
more coal at 1dat time on contract.
1t was stated that all the firms out
put was reqC red 10 supply the Ten
nessee state institutions and be-
sides 1T was impossible to get cars.
Mayor Sheppard got busy. He went
to see the vice-president of the South
ern Railway and was Informed that
all the necessary cars woulu be fur
nlshed Americas for the haui.As OF
Its required coal -,eXc he had ship
ments from the mine checked up and
discovered that only a small per
centage of the output was going to
ne state institutions, the balance go
ing onto the market at around $3.50
per ton. He then paid visit to the
manager of the mine, showed him
that he had the evidence, and came
away with promise that the city's
contract would be carried ol@. Coal
has been coming ever since.
"A municipality or public SER
vice corporation has priority and can
get coal by going after it," said the
mayor; 81 know it for proved it,
But 1t means hard work and spend
ing what money is necessary"

IMMIGRATION TO

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-The
tide of immigration through the port
of New York continues to swell. The
latest reports to the Bureau of I'm
migration show a daily average of
5000 arrived at Ellis Island last week.
The facilities of the station are adj
mittedly taxed to capacity.
Reports received at the state de-
partment from immigration authori-
ties concerning the class of imnii-
grants now coming to this country
may result in instructions to Amerl-
can consuls in Europe to exercise
greater care in sitting out undesira-
bles from the lists of those applying
for permission to come to the United
States. 1t was said foreign representa-
tives of the state department have
been able to check materially the
moves of known radical element to
enter America, but they were not
able to prevent huge increase in
number of what were characterized

SOLDIER PAPERS
Stars & Stripes Demo

ly Republican

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-The
right of Senator Edge of New Jer-
sey, to participate in any investiga-
ton by the senate campaign investi-
eating committee into political ac-
tivities by "Stars and Stripes" sol
der publication, was challenged be-
fore the committee today by Joseph
L. Hefferman, secretary of the pub
fishing company, who said he had Sin
formation" that Senator Edge was
involved in "some scheme, Whatever
it is, against u.s."
Hefferman previously testified
that his paper, despite 100000 cir
culation, had been unable to obtain
advertising. Answering Senator
Edges demand Hefferman said his in
formant was Richard S. Jones, an as
sociate in "Stars and Stripes" office
and Jones was ordered subpoenaed.
K. P. Stewart, assistant attorney,
general whose name was mentioned
yesterday in connection with the
Democratic national convention at
San Francisco, and his travel to that
city at public expense, told the COM
mlttee today he went to the Pacific
Coast in connection with the prose
cution of fraud cases. He was heard
at his own expense. He said after
work on official matters he took an
annual leave beginning June 25 and
made no charge to the government
for the period following.
Hefferman testified that "Stars
and Stripes" was controlled by the
Democratic National committee and
the American Legion Weekly, anoth-
er soldier publication was controlled
by the Republican National commit
tee. He said Dupont of the Republi-
can committee was endeavoring to
get control of "Stars and Stripes" "
He said 81, 900 of 100000 shares
of stock in the "Stars and Stripes cor
poration" were in the name Of Mrs.
e. M. Parks, secretary to W. D. JAM
ison, director of finance of the Dem
ocratic committee.
Jones denied the "Stars and
Stripes" was in politics and said the
paper was not controlled by the Dem
ocratic National Committee in any
way, although the stock was controll-
ed by an employee of the committee.
He said the inference was very dam
aging.

Cook Made Biscuits
Of Poisoned Flour

; GREENVILLE, Ala, Sept. "a
No motive for the alleged poisoning
of "a guests at local hotel, for
which two negroes are held on sus-
picion, has been assigned except pos
sibly difficulty between the pro-

upon a plan of action that will COM
pei good service to be given the pub

unless compelled"
"The day of promises is passed"
suggested Mayor Sheppard.
Il don't know how 1t was prior to
that time, but | know the gas plant
has been in a broken down condition
for the last two years, since l have
been living out on Lee street, because
I haven't been able to get decent sar-
vice in that time," said Alderman
Burke. "And lately people haven't
been able to get gas at all. Neigh
bors are cooking their heals on our
wood range, and people all over town
| understand, are doing their cooking
in their back yards:;''
At this juncture Mr.. Tillman of the
Atlantic Ice and Coal Corporation
walked in. Mayor Sheppard explained
that he had invited Mr.. Tillman to
be present for interrogation, having
understood his firm had had some
dealing with the lighting company in
the matter of supplying coal.
MIR. Tillman, is it possible to Sc
cure coal for gas purposes?" Mayor
Sheppard asked.
Coal Contract Refused
In the spring of 1919 we offered
Mr.. Johnson, the former manager of
the local plant, a contract to sup.
ply gas coal for that year." said Mr..
Tillman, "but there was small diff
ference in price between us and he
turned us down. About conditions
right now, do not know exactly. Gas
coal is an extra high grade coal, high
er grade than domestic, but they
ought to be able to get it. We have no
trouble in getting steam coal. If they
were up against it they could get gas
coal. They are on the preferential
list-preferential to the ice man. We
can get coal, and they can, too, when
they have to have it."
''Do you think the real trouble is
coal or machinery" Alderman Burke
asked Mr.. Tillman.
"Well," he repield, 81 will say that
| talked yesterday to man who came
from Macon to make some repairs on
the plant. ! knew they were having
trouble down at the gast plant and
asked him what was the matter
He told me that they brought him
here to make repairs but that he had
| refused to make them because while
they might last few days or a few
weeks, they would not do any good. !"
AT this juncture it was moved that
the whole matter be referred to the
! public building and lights committaa
to report back as soon as progress
could be reported, the motion being
unanimously adopted.
