MAR OF the Shackamaxon Club rolled
UP a seven hole lead over j. f. Hale,
Upper Montclair, at the end of the
first round OF the thirty six hole
finals for the Jersey State golf title
to-day at the Canoe Brook Club
Hale, who defeated Travers and
Reel1ie, two favorites, yesterday, was
completely outclassed to-day by his
twenty-one-ycar-old opponent.
Mair. although competing in his
first tournament played with the con-
fidence and skill of n veteran. At
the fifth hole the match was even.
Then Mair cut loose and won five
holes in a row and during the re-
mainder of the round the Shacka-
maxon youth easily increased his
lead.
MAR drove a tremendous ball once
he walloped a tee shot of ESQ yards.
This long range driving, usually ac-
curately controlled, left only d mash
shot for the nag and Malr handled
his irons as well as the wood.

Predicts That in Few Years Each

BOSTON, June "A predlc-
ton that automobiles within a
few years would carry individual
stills to produce fuel for their
operation was made last night by
Thomas A. Edison jr.
Discussing carburetion at the
graduation exercises of the
knights of Columbus Automobile
School, the son OF the inventor
said he had himself been seeking
a substitute for gasoline for ten
years.
The problem would be solved,
he said, by the manufacture Of in
dividual distilleries TO be attached
to cars, the stills to be operated
by the heat and motion of the
motor and to produce from pet
roleum and other ingredients a
combustible mixture supplied as
constantly as current Is generate
by electric cars while in motion.

opinion. could be equipped To pro-
duce sufficient fuel 10 run itself

Apparently enraged by his fat.ure
to make good his assertion that Gtu-
seppe would be recovered within .
few hours. Capt. Fiaschetti ordered
all Investigators except his detectives
out Of the Varotta neighborhood To-
day and declined to discuss the case.
There were no Indications that tbs

The higher police officials express
confidence that the boy Is unharme3
and will be found. They believe the
arrest OF the five men will scare the
person or persons now holding Glu-
seppe into releasing him. All police
men have been instructed to watch
particularly for an abandoned boy In
some out OF the way district

said his clients told them the ''con-
fcssions" were made only after the
police had beaten the men and held
revolvers to their heads.
The police did not contend that the
k.dnapper In chief was among the
prisoners. He. according to the story
at Headquarters, had escaped be-
fore his name was wrung from one
OF the prisoners and presumably
had taken the child with him.
The detectives hopes that the boy
would be found were apparently based
on their asserted belief that the
stealer had been scared OF and would
abandon the child.
Salvatore Varotta Is hopeless of re-
suits from the efforts of the detec-
tives. He says he wishes they had
given him the ransom money and let
him get the boy back with 1t. taking
their own time and methods to hunt
down the kidnapper with 1t.
The performance of the Detective
Bureau in the matter Of Thomas Cas-
amano was the principal cause Of
the fathers attitude. After talking
with one Of the prisoners. Santo Cas-
amano, early yesterday the detectives
took into custody his brother, q
baker, in whose shop Santo was ar
rested.
The detectives said they only
wished to learn from the baker the
whereabouts OF his son, than which
nothing was more important in
the whole case. The baker was
released from questioning s o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Half an hour
later he was back at Police Head
quarters with his son. Thomas,
u chauffeur. who had been away
on a trip to Oyster Bay. The
two sat about the Detective Bureau
until 1880 asking to talk TO some-
body about the kidnapping case. No.
body was interested Apparently and
they went home and returned at $50
o'clock this morning. Nobody had
time to talk TO them until an Eve

WASHINGTON, June AFTER a
conference with Senator William NJ.
Calder, Chairman Of the Committee
TO Investigate Coal. and Senator
James A Reed. also of that commit
tee, who has made a thorough study
Of the situation, it Is evident that
some legislation will be enacted de-
signed TO reduce the price of coal and
to obviate shortage.
This Is a move strongly advocated
by The Evening World. which In It's
exhaustive investigation aroused the
Senate committee to 60 into the mat
ter. following the unwarranted war
prices.
The first steps suggested by way
of legislation will likely be:
1. Reduction Of coal rates on rail-
roads.
2. A cheaper railroad rate and con-
soquentIy a cheaper coal rate in the
summer than in tho winter.
3. Railroad cars for coal to receive
priority so that there 10 no car short

Senator Reed states that If coal
prices are reduced in the summer and
the people fill their coal bins Mt
least so per cent. during the sum-
mer, the high rates are bound to go
down.
TROUBLE IS, EVERYBODY BUYS
COAL AT ONCE.
'nIhe trouble with 1t all is" said

CAPT. SIMMONS IS
 ACTIVELY IN RACE
On Police Force IA Years and Feels He Is Entitled
 to Promotion

Capt. D. c. Simmons of the police department is beginning today his active campaign for associate city commissioner of Birmingham, subject to the city election on october To-
 In beginning his campaign, Cap tain simmons states that he consld- CTS hls race in the nature of an ap- plicatin for promotion. He has served on the police force of the city of Birmingham for the last IA years. and during that time has been pro- noted from the ranks to the office of sergeant, and later to the office of captain.
 T am not going to conduct a mud singing campaign" Captain Simmons said in his statement. T am simply appealing to the people of Birm.ng- 1 nam to promote me to an office for which I feel myself qualified by req son of my service on the police force,
 People who need watches repaired do not take them to a blacksmith tn shop, but to man who knows thor oughly the watch repairing business It seems to me the same rule should apply in selecting the persons to whom Birmingham is to intrust it's municipal government. I do not claim to be an expert in every line but I do feel that I know the police and fire departments of Birmng- ham, as I have made study of them for the past 14 years.
 "In invite -the people of the city to examine my record as a police of ficer. I shall strive if elected Ito carry on my work, efficiently and to the best of my ability. I stand for better police protection in the resi- dential sections and for co-opera- ton between the police and detec- tive departments. I stand for strict but reasonable enforcement of the law, and for strict enforcement of the traffic laws. I believe that l am ca- pable because of service, and am seeking office for that reason" Captain Simmons was born at Springviile in St. Clair county, and has been living in Birmingham for the past IS years. He has been con nected with the police department for 14 years, and was promoted to the rank of sergeant in 1915. and made a cantaip in 1Q17
