tion by Mayor Edward L. Bader that

mitted N the Bathers' Revue Of the

day sent public letter In protest to
Mr.. Bader. In which she said
'As one who has worked for the up
lift Of not only Atlantic City, but the
State as we'll, wish to protest against
a permission OF this kind. Even under
the worst conditions which Atlantic
City has had in the past one piece
bathing suits were not allowed OH our
beach, and why should they not only
be permitted but invited on our Board
walk for thousands to look at?
"Unfortunately for our young peo-
pie, I suppose there will always be o
few immoral women who will expose
their forms for the lure Of immoral
men. and it Is to such as these that
you give your official permission.
Mrs. White also announces her in
tention to bring the issue before the
women's clubs of the city.

opening Of Agreement

Clearfield, Pa, June 1.-The Ex.
ecutiVe Board of District No. 2, United
Mine Workers of America. has been
called to meet here June 2. It will
consider the request Of j. s. Sommer-
vile, Of Altoona, president Of the Cen =
tral Coal Association, that the wage
operators be reopened.
Mr.. Sommerville recently sent let
ter to John Brophy, district president
suggesting the situation surrounding
Central Pennsylvania and its effect upon
the production in our fields IL, In our
opinion, subject for mutual considera :
ton.
In reply to that letter Mr.. Brophy
said:
IF your purpose Is to ask for a re-
duction In wage scales, as is intimated
in the various press notices emanating
from Altoona, conference would be
useless, because the position of District
No. 2 is the position taken by our ma =
tional organization, that our presen,
contracts are binding, that they were
established by the United States Btu
minous Coal Commission, acting for the
Government, and that they must con
tinue until March 81, 1922"
President Brophy yesterday said the
position Of District No. 2 had the sup.
port Of the international officers, in =
Guiding President John l.. Lewis, who
had written him that the international
organization would cooperate in every
way In protecting the integrity

WRECK LAID TO ENGINEER
Committee on Burlington Crash Say,
O.. Cook plsreqarded Signals

Responsibility for the rear emo
collision on the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Burlington, N. j., Saturday evening
which resulted in the deaths of two
persons, was placed upon Charles II.
Cook, engineer Of the New York
Atlantic City excursion train, by the
committee appointed by 9. s. Frick,
general manager Of the railroad, to in :
vestigate the accident. The commit
tee submitted its report yesterday.
The wreck was caused by the ex
cursion train running into the rear OF
a Camden Trenton local as the latter
was leaving Burlington Station. The
Investigation Committee reported that
Cook approached Burlington at a speed
Of thirty FIVE TO forty miles an hour
when the speed restrictions at that
point called for not over fifteen miles
an hour; that he ran past "slow
speed" signal without reducing speed
and that he over ran stop" signal
to the rear of the local train.
The report added that Cook should
have been familiar with the route, as he
had recently made FIVE round trips
between New York and Atlantic City.

STEAMSHIP IN DISTRESS
Asquam Wireless Gives Position or
Winter Quarter lluht

Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, a
thousand miles straight of Winter
Quarter Light. the Shipping Board
steamship. Asquam is wal1owing In the
seas, waiting for tow to bring her into
port.
The wireless, ranging the ocean for
aid, brought word of the ships distress
to the big navy station at Cape May,
whence 1t was relayed to the Philadel-
phia Navy Yard.
Though the message said the Asquam
needed help. IL did not indicate the
cause Of the trouble, nor state whether
any one had been killed or injured.
The message was picked up at 2 :83
o'clock this morning. 1t was: IS. s.
Asquam in lat. 81. 40 NJ, lon. 83. 80 W.,
mo steam at all. Need assistance. Must
be towed."
1t Is surmised there had been an ac-
cident in the freighter's boiler room.
1t Is unlikely that help will be sent
from this port, as the message would
have been picked up by ships at sea
near the Asquam. The Asquam was In
Baltimore as recently as May 10, but
the Maritime Exchange has no infor-
nation as to Its cargo or destination.

CITY AND Federal
OFFICIALS IN CLASH
Woodruff Scores Surveyor Of
Customs for Blocking Trial
of Policeman
TO CARRY MATTER UP

The failure Of two United States Gus.
toms guards to testify against a patrol
man before the Civil Service Commits
sion today led to severe criticism OF
Charles r. Kurtz, surveyor Of customs
by Clinton Rogers Woodruff. president
OF the commission.
Patrolman John Phillips. of the Front
and Master streets station, was accused
OF threatening a guard, using profane
language and of having two quarts OF
whisky in his possession. The offenses
were alleged to have occurred May !
at Pier No. ~, north wharyes.
The Civil Service Commission on May
Is requested Mr.. Kurtz to instruct the
guards to appear at Phillips hearing
today. Mr.. Kurtz replied by letter that
the patrolman had apologized and that
the incident was closed so far as the
customs service was concerned.
The commission today found Phillips
guilty Of an additional charge Of being
absent without leave. He was fined
seventeen days pay.
In announcing that he would lay the
case before the Secretary Of the Treas
ury because of the failure of the guards
W opptui, pubic
this letter, dated yesterday, and sent to
Mr.. Kurtz:
I'VE are in receipt of your lotter of
May q in which you refuse to instruct
Andrew A. Brophy, captain Of customs
guards, and Guard Meiers, in your de-
partment. to appear before the Civil
Service Commission.
'You speak Of Patrolman Phillips
having apologized to Guard Meters for
the language used, but this does not
dispose of the charges against him Of
conduct unbecoming an officer. The
commission Is not sitting to hear pri-
vate wrongs of individuals in the Fed
eral or other service, but to try charges
against members Of the Police and Fire
Bureaus for unbecoming conduct and
for conduct subversive of good discipline
and of sound morale.
Your failure to co operate with us in
enforcing sound discipline and good
morale, not to mention the discourtesy
involved in your action, is most regret
table.
In the Judgment Of the commission.
the gravity of your refusal to CO. operate
Is increased by reason Of the duty and
obligation resting upon the Federal Of
fcers to secure the enforcement OF the
lnws garding the sale of liquor
