 DISEASES IN CITY

 Interest of the Public

A movement to arouse the people of Birmingham to the situation caused by the prevalence of venereal diseases last night at the Tutwiler attended by representatives of the civic clubs af- filiated with the mter-Club council and representatives of the different wonen's organizations.
 Dr. E. R. Robe, special representa- tive of the pubic health serNlce of the government, pointed out the serious economic losses as well as the health situation and other suffering caused by this situation. Failure of the people to rally to the support of the campaign to stamp out these diseases and lack of realization on the part of the pub lie of the true conditions were men tioned as reasons for making a cam paign necessary.

Robe sat the earliest possible meeting. It was announced that already the cooperation of most of the women's clubs and organiza- tions had been secured.

 CRASHES ID EARTH
Poor Quality Gasoline Blamed for Accident-Injured Man Sustained Crushed Chest
 and Legs Broken

Y. o. Hodges, assistant city editor os the Birmingham News, died last night about 9:45 o'clock at the Norwood in firmary as the result of injuries re- ceived in an airplane accident near Thomas Station about 6:3O o'clock yes- terday evening.
 Mir. Hodges was returning from Jas- per. where he had gone on q news as- signment, in plano piloted by Lieut.. Douglas Davis, employed by the Dixie Flying corporation, when the accident occurred. Lieutenant Davis was only slightly injured.
 Poor gasoline obtained at Cordova was blamed for the accident by Lieu tenant Davis, who was very badly broken up over the tragedy last night. Because of the unsuitable field at Jas . per, the plane went to Cordova to land and take on more gas. The supply was not filtered nor up to standard, the pilot declared.
 Leaving Cordova about o'clock,
 everything went well until the
 plane neared Thomas Station. The
 motor started gofnE wrong and
 Davis saw that he would have to
 make a forced landing. He noted
 plONeu JuSh
 rounded by trees, and while trying
 to land wing of the machine
 side-swiped tree md the plane
 piunged to the ground.
 When the nose of the machine struck the ground the reserve gasoline tank was loosed from it's fastenings. Swing Ing back, it fell on MT. Hodges, who was in the front cockpit. His legs were broken, his chest crushed, his face and head badly lacerated. Both pilot and passenger were rendered un- conscious by the force of the 50foot dive.
 Passersby found the two men and took MT. Hodges to the Norwood in- firmary and Lieutenant Davis to tho Dixie Flying field.
 MT. Hodges was rushed to the
 operating room of the hospital,
 where mn x-ray examination Os
 his injuries were made. The injur-
 ies to his chest, which caused
 bleeding of his lungs, were respon-
 sibie for his death, according fo
 attending surgeons.
 MT. Hodges was 31 years of age and married. His wife, father, two sisters and a brother live in Lincoln, Neb. He came to the News from the Memphis News Scrimitar about 15 months age. He had orked on newspapers in Mo- bile and several cities in the west Hs was a member of the Memphis Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

ANOTHER DEADLOCK IN
 BRITISH MINE DISPUTE
By Associated Press

London, June 3.-Another deadlock seems to have been reached in the coal dispute with the notification given by the miners executive to Premier Lloyd George that the various mining dis tricts have, rejected the government proposals for a settlement
 Almost at the same time. the mine owners communicated to the govern ment a restatement of their position, again steadfastly refusing to agree either to a national pool or a national settlement of wages, but making some minor concessions such as the creation of conciliation boards, with neutral chairman, to settle district disputes, and a national wages board with a neutral chairman whose decision would be final for settling the standard wage and the ratio of wages to profits. This standard wage would provide the basis for settling the district scale of wages.
