ATLANTA, March 24.-Here's a
new thing for Atlanta and will be new
to the rest of the State and the South
The chief of the Atlanta detective
department says that he believes that
all persons out late at night should be
arrested if they cannot give a good
reason for being out.
The chief is right, say business men,
but this is the first time any official
has SO expressed himself.
Chief Poole--the same man Solici-
tor Boykin says was in league with the
gaming ring, which is now the sensa-
ton of Atlanta--says Atlanta does not
.ueed curfew law as that would work
a hardship on many good law-abiding
citizens, but he favors the give-an-ac-
count-of-yourself plan in night hours.
The crusade against loafing in At
lanta is on, many arrests have been
made, cases tried, and the police are
still active. Not only will loafers be
arrested but arrests will be made Of
propriators of business houses in
which idling and lettering is permitted.
In instructing the detectives to ar
rest proprietors Of houses in which
lettering IS permitted, Chief Poole
told the officers there were four sec

Ralph Kirkman at Memorial
Hospital With Four Broken
Ribs as Result

IBy Evening News Staff Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE. Aug. 2S.-Ralph
Kirkman. about forty years old. of
Terrace Hill, Prince Bay, is at the
Richmond Memorial Hospital with
four broken ribs as the result of div
ing off Seguines dock in Prince Bay.
about 4 O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
Kirkman was fished out by others
at the beach at the time and an am
bulance took him to the hospital a
short distance away. The tide was

from the pier. 1t vas at first thought
that his back was broken.

COAL COMBINE
RAISED PRICES
Six Dealers in Asbury Park
Boosted the Price to
$16.50 a Ton

ASBURY PARK, Aug. 23:-That
this city was responsible for the
gradual rise in the price of coal to
$16.50 a ton with profits to one man
of $3.50 a ton, was the testimony
brought out before the Mackay coal
price investigating committee here
yesterday.
Joseph Johnson, one of the six
dealers, testified hat prices had
been advanced rs cents a ton after
a meeting of the combiLa alton on
June 80. In answer to questions by
former Senator Wood Mckee of
Paterson, counsel for the commit
tee, Mr.. Johnson said his profits for
the past two and a half years a
averaged about $3.50 a ton.
Mr.. johnson controls three coal
yards in this city. He said the meet
ing of June 80 was attended by
Harry Reeves, Lester II. Weller,
John Thompson, f. r. Tinker and
Miss Grace johnson, all Asbury Park
dealers. Miss Johnson is manager of
the Consumers Coal Company and
acted as secretary of the meeting, he
testified.
The rs cents increase decided upon
at the meeting was the last advance
in prices made by local dealers, con-
tinued Mr.. Johnson. He said the
increase had been contemplated be-
fore the meeting as a result of de-
mands by the Pennsylvania tax.
Here Senator Mckee interrupted
the witness to ask him if he did not
know that the Pennsylvania tax was
not in effect at the time, but the
witness answered that he did not
know that. Following up this state
ment Johnson admitted in answer
to another question by counsel that
he was a member of the P~ennsylva-
mia Retail Coal Dealers Association.
Taking up the proceedings of the
meeting Senator Mckee brought
from the witness that the prices
were agreed upon at an earlier meet
ing but the last raise was ratified at
the June meeting. He was instructed
to bring his trial balance to the hear
ing.
Miss Johnson's testimony was
slightly contradictory of the. prev
ious witness. She admitted attend
ing the meeting, but denied acting
as secretary. She declared that she
did not know who called the meet
ing. She admitted that it was called
to discuss coal prices, but her rea-
son for attending was to discus a
wage bonus, which she was consid-
ering abandoning. She knew that
prices were to be raised July l be-
fore she attended the meeting. She
would not swear that the increase in
prices was not due to the meeting.
She stated hat the profits of her
concern were Z per cent. When Miss
made his last statement
Senator Mckee said:
II hope you can prove that. but
it has been our experience that
wherever hat has been attempted
before it was really proved that the
profits ran to 80 and 35 per cent.
Weller and Reeves were called
Just before the committee rose for
the day, but their testimony was
regarding the June meeting and it
was corroboratory of Joseph john
sons testimony.

TYPHOID GRIPS
BURLINGTON CO.
Eighty Cases in South Jersey
Towns Reported Traced
to Harvest Home
IBy Evening News Correspondent.

TRENTON, Aug. 23:-Oficials of
the State Board of Health were using
every effort today to stay the scourge
of typhoid fever which has broken
out in Burlington county. The cpl
demic has already caused more than
eighty cases and two deaths and Is
still spreading. One death occurred
at Pemberton and another at Allen
town, Monmouth county. The chief
vag thus far have been within
the section bounded by Pemberton,
Allentown and New Egypt.
The main concern of the state
health officials is to prevent a fur
ther spread through Burlington
county diaries, dairying being n of
the leading industries of the district
affected. Also the health board men
are checking up typhoid fever cases
in Trenton. F~ieldsboro, Roebling and
other places to ascertain If they can
be traced to the main outbreak.
The state board has decided that
the epidemic resulted from some
food eaten at the harvest home of
the Methodist church at Jacobstown
on July 27, but nave not yet deter
mined Just what food was infected.
People from all sections of Burling-
ton county surrounding Jacobstown
attended the harvest home and par
took of the supper. The Fieldsboro
band, which furnished the music,
also was at the supper. Most of the
cases are among people who were
present and ate the supper. Many
of the dairy farmers of that part of
the county attended and the state
health officials say this may cause a
further outbreak unless the dairies
are closely watched for infection.
This work has already been under
taken.
The State Board of Health has
made provision for the incubation
with typhoid vaccine of all persons
who apply for it, as a preventative
measure. In cooperation with the
state authorities, the Board of
Health of New Hanover township, in
| which Jacobstown is located, has
opened an emergency hospital at the
town and sever of the serious cases
have been removed there for special
treatment.
