CLARK COMP. I..AINS To
COUNCIL REGARDING
GENE Terry PRACTICES
Implying of Urns in Mosquito
Campaign Objected to by
Local Manufacturer
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
City Physician and Attorney to
Work With Members in
Framing New Ordinance

The session of city council We'd
ncsday night was consumed large
ly in hearing the complaint of. C.
J. Clark, who appeared to object
to certain practices ordered by the
health authorities in Oak Grove
cemetery. The particular objection
lodged with council by Mr.. Clark
was the emptying of urns and con-
tainers placed upon the graves of
dead buried in the cemetery, which
he said, seriously injured the mar
bic of which monuments are built,
besides desecrating the burial
places.
According to Mr.. Clarke, the
cemetery keeper has been rather
ruthless in applying regulations Of
the health board, throwing out
flowers sometimes the day after
these had been placed in urns,
without regard to the injury done.
This, he said, had occurred recently
when he had palced some flowers
upon the grave Of his son, the late
Carroll Clark, on Tuesday, the flow
ers being removed by the cemetery
keeper and the water in the urn
emptied the next day.
According to Mr.. Clark, this prac-
tice held no warrant in law, and
he was emphatic in his statement
that insofar as his lot is concern
ed, must be stopped. Others, he
told council, had frequently been
in conference with him, and had
asked that he complain to council
about the cemetery practices. That
the menace of malaria entered in
to the situation he admitted, but
asserted that this could be easily
handled and at small clost to the
city through the employment of
a special attendant one day in each
week whose duty it would be to go
through the cemetery and en.Dty
all urns containing water without
the necessity of removing these
from the slabs upon which they may
be placed. In order to do this,
Of course, it would be necessary
to use a syphon or sponge to get
all of the water out of the con-
tainers, he said
Alderman Allison did not agree
with Mr. Clarke, but was of the
opinion that the matter should be
gone into by the cemetery commit
tee, with the city physician and city
attorney added to seek solution
of the controversy. One suggestion
was that the city adopt an ordi-
nance requiring all cemetery lot
owners to prevent the breeding Of
mosquitoes on their lots and that
cases be made against all those who
fail to do this. Some members
of council wanted this ordinance
to provide that the water be emp
tied from all urns regularly, while
Mr.. Clark thought it would be suf-
ficient if the presence of wiggle-
tails in urns be necessary before
a conviction would be authorized
under the proposed ordinance. The
discussion finally ended with the
matter being referred to a COM
mittee of which Alderman ]. w.
Harris, Jr., is chairman.

DR.. 3. F. Bond, county health
commissioner, who has been in

was asked concerning a report cur

of which DR.. Chambliss is chair

DIR. Chambliss, DR.. Bond desired to
leave his position here in order to
accept a more lucrative position in
the United States public health
service, and would then have re-
signed as county health commits

insisted upon his remaining here.
Discussing DR.. Bonds probable

HARD COAL STRIKE
Operators and Miners Get
Together in Final Peace

NEW YORK. August 15.-Resump-
ton of wage negotiations was under
taken here today by officials of the
United Mine Workers of America and
the anthracite operators committee,
at the invitation OF the United States
Coal Commission, with a view of avert
ing a hard coal strike on September /.
Before entering into the conference.
presided over by John Hays Ham
mond, chairman of the Federal Coal
Commission, the mine workers leaders
apparently had set their minds to a
clear-cut issue--a strike, or the
check-off, by which the operators are
asked to deduct union dues from the
wages of union miners.
The operators contend that accept
ance of the demand for the check off
would mean binding them to "collec-
tion of a war fund" for the unions
which might be used in later strikes
and aid in bringing about CLOSED
shop" conditions.
The miners were represented at the
conference by their president, John L.
Lewis; C.. ]. Golden, Thomas Kennedy
ana ftlndIuO Cappellnl, preSlQentS, re-
spectively, of districts Nos. l, and Z,

phia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany; w. w. Inglish, president of the

CHICAGO, August IA American
motorists from the Alleghenies to the

will prevail only as long as competi-

While rejoicing motorists in many
states today laid in supplies of gas

vestgations designed to obtain reduc-
tions in prices were either under way
or planned in states not yet affected
by the price cuts. Eastern states

Further Reductions Antici-
pated-NeW Retail Cost
Effective Tomorrow.

Results of the gasoline war that
is being waged over the United
States were felt in the eastern
states today when gas took a drop
of cent a gallon in Washington and
nearby states. Although local gas
oline dealers admit that further re-
ductions are on the way, it is denied
emphatically that the price of the
motor fuel will reach the low mark
elsewhere
Why Washington and. vicinity
should have higher prices than other
places was not disclosed National
motorists organizations and unaffil-
lated gasoline consumers, however
are of the opinion that the investi-
cations being made by the Depart
ment OF Justice and state officials
are bearing fruit.
The Washington Office of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey re-
ceived an order. effective today, that
gasoline should sell for 20 cents

further stated that the reduction
amounting to l cent a gallon. would
apply to New Jsfsey and MARYLAND

West Virginia and North and South
Carolina. This difference. the local
Office said, it could not explain.

The Penn Oil also announced a re-
duction to 20 cents a gallon whole

morrow. This company'S reduction

row, in order to allow the garages and
