HEADS MEET HERE
Fourth Annual Session of State
Municipal League to Be
Held Next Month.
Discuss Co-operation With New
Federal Director, But Give
Out Little of Results.
High officials of the Southern rail
road hold a conference at the general
freight office here Tuesday morning.
' All of the head officials, from President
, Fairfax Harrison down to division su
perintendents, wore present. Contrary
to predictions, no great changes were
made in the operation of the road. The
meeting was not long and was merely
a discussion of ways, in which the
freight congestion could be relieved.
Wcrlc of the new bureau, the head
quarters of which is in Birmingham,
was emphasised in fact, the entire
meeting was a discussicn of ths plans
of the department, which have been
published.
It was brought out that the first
thing to be done was to clear all of
the lines for freight movement and to
see that the shortest routes were al
ways used in handling cars. The new
bureau in Birmingham has been work
ing on this since it was organized sev
eral days ago. It is a freight informa
tion bureau. Other duties aside from
routing cars for manufacturers is to
see that all cars are unloaded
promptly and put into immediate use
as soon as they have been released
from one load. In this way the situa
tion will be greatly relieved.
Officials havo been of the opinion all
along that the biggest thing- that the
government could do would be to pool
all of the equipment It has been their
lelief that no great changes would
be made and that what changes would
be made would be brought about so
traduallv that they could not be no-
tloed. At any rate. It was agreed that
At a meeting Tuesday afternoon of
the city commissioners, it is under
stood that Mayor Littleton will present
to the city commissioners for their ap
proval a budget compiled by the fed
eral health authorities now in the city.
The funds asked for in the budget are
to be used by the city health depart
ment, if they are appropriated, for Jhe
betterment of the health and sanitary
conditions in and around Chattanooga.
The total amount asked for is $25,000,
as given out by Dr. C. P. Knight, of
ficer In charge.
In making up the budget for the
work, the department has asked the
following:
"A full-time health officer for the
city. The same must be a graduate of
medicine with three yeais' experience
ia health wo.k. Thi salary uf the of
floer not to exceed 83,'jOO.
"Four sanitary Inspectors at $100 per
month eacn, 14.800 a ywii.
"Two public health nurses at $100
a month each, $2,400 a year.
"A clerk to the health officer.
"Transportation facilities.
"Miscellaneous expense, including a
general clean-up of the city.
"Antityphoid vaccination, and many
other things necessary to carry on such
a campaign in order that a permanent
sanitary organization may be formed.
Chamber of Commerce Acts.
At the meeting of the directors of the
Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce,
which was - held Tueslay afternoon
the question of passing upon the rec
ommendations was discussed. The
chamber is expected to approve of
these regulations and vote to give
them their earnest support The ques
tion of helping the health officials in a
financial way will also be taken up.
In speaking of the plans of the fed
eral authorities, J. Read Voigt, presi
dent of the chamber, states that he
thinks they should be adopted In toto,
and that Chattanooga as a whole
should consider this an unusual op
portunity, and one that the city
should avail itself of. In referring to
the good that may come from this
sanitary program, Mr. Voigt said that
it could not be calculated, but that he
was sure it will result in a more
healthy city.
The mayor is also very mucn in
favor of the program as mapped out
by the United States officials and has
extended his co-operation in every
way.
The fourth annual session of the
Tennessee Municipal league will as

GOT TANGLED UP
IN TOILS OF LAW
Matt Elliott, Clerk of Light
House, Held to Grand Jury
for Liquor Dealing.
Matt Elliott, clerk at the Light
house, has by Ms persistent and untir
ing efforts to let the boys have a
little taste of the high priced and
forbidden commodity of liquor suc
ceeded in seriously entangling himself
within the toils of the. law. Matt,
together with two grips of liquor, was
taken in tow Monday by Constable
Farry Lawson and Deputy Sheriff
Teasley. He was taken before Squire
H. B. Caulklns and held to the grand
Jury under $50 bond, which wr s made
through his attorney, Carl Abernathy.
Elliott is well known In Chattanooga,
having for a number of years preceed
ing the prohibition laws, conducted a
saloon on lower Market street. After
the saloons were abolished he estab
lished .a near-beer pla.ee with a pool
room attachment and ran it until he
was arrested for selling whisky. Later
he secured a position as clerk at the
Light house and has been employed
there since.

ever, the general laughed and joked
with them, inviting them to continue
in their attack.
After Gen. Thompson disappeared
in the courthouse he went to the clerk
and master's office and filed the bill
which seeks to ouster the sheriff of
Hamilton county and the father of the
boys who had playf-illy attacked him
with snowballs a few minutes before.

One of the most meritorious bills
that haa been seen at the Rialto is
there for tho first half of ths week
and it not marred by a single, weak
act. It is a difficult matter to say
wthich act features the bill, each hav
ing its own distinct merit and regis
tering emphatic hits. Swor & Avey,
who havo been seen in Chattanooga
before, offer an entirely new act, pref
aced by a bit of silent acting that
brings a laugh from the rise of the
curtain. It almost seems unfortunate
that the two comedians need break the
silence, but their crossfire is new and
well put across.
The Mclntires, in a shooting act,
show some exceptional marksmanship,
probably the best ever seen here,
though some are wondering1 how they
happen to be marooned In the middle
of Niagara Falls. The man does some
expert shooting from the rear of the
theater and may be assured r.o one
will stand. It is possibly fortunate
that he doesn't shoot any more than
he does at the balloons on the lady's
gown. Nuf sed.
The Benevicl Brothers, violinists,
have an act of reaj merit. The Vene
tian scene is beautiful Indeed and
their mualc is quite up to the mark.
Their expressions arid general attitude,
toward the audience smacks more of
the Haymarket, but ti.eir playing and
settings are very exceptional for this
time.
Long & Ward off sr a neat little

INVESTIGATION OF
MATTER OF PROFITEERING
The question of whether the Chatta
nooga merchants are profiteering Is a
subject that created much attention at
the meeting of the board of directors of
the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday afternoon. The president stated
that If such a thing as this was being
indulged In by the merchants of this city
steps should be taken at once to prevent
it. On the other hand, if the local mer
chants were treating the soldier boys (of
which the profiteering has been re
ferred) on the wuare and holding tbem
up they would be stopped. A special
committee was appointed to make a
thorough Investigation of the situation
and report at the annual meeting Tues
day, Jan. IS. The committee was in
structed to compare the prices here with
those of Atlanta and elsewhere, and
leave nothing undone in doing so.
If the merchants of Chattanooga are
not doing this the fact will be given due
publicity in order that the out-of-town
people who have been "knocking" may
be put on the right track.

HAYES MATTER PASSED

to Explain Light Bates Bet

City Attorney Frank Carden did not
make recommendations in regard to
the money due the city by County
Court Clerk Charles Hayes at the
meeting of the commissioners Tues
day afternoon. Attorneys for the
clerk asked that no recommendations
be made until they had time to look
over the report of Auditor Peterson,
which was not furnished them until
Tuesday morning. A large number of
the reports were supplied and much
time was taken in preparing them.
City Attorney Carden said that he
would not deny them the courtesy
asked. The matter will be brought
up at the next meeting of the com
missioners aid final action will be
taken when the city attorney makes
his recommendations.
F. W. Hoover, vice-president of the
Chattanooga Railway and Light com
pany, was out of town again and the
matter of the light rates was left
open. At the opening of tho meeting
It was talked that Commissioner Bet
terton would offer a motion that the
city pay the costs of a suit instituted
againBt the company by any resident
for money due on account of the ex
cess charges. No action had been
taken up to 3:30 p.m. Mr. Hoover
has made a habit of being out of the
city on Tuesdays and the commis
sioners are convinced that he has no
intention of appearing before them
and- declare openly that he is afraid
to come out in the open and that he
will not appear. They express the
belief that the light company is try
ing to let the matter die out. Com
missioner Betterton is determined to
force the question to an issue, how
ever, either in the courts or before
the commissioners.
