Accompanying the resolution is
another communication from the
City Council of East St. Louis stat
ing that it is reported that in the
Southern states especially in the
large negro settlements, that state
ments have been made and circulat
ed to the effect that there is a de
mand for labor in the North, at
high wages ,an'd in some cases in
ducements of different kinds have
been presented to the negro popu
lation, which has caused a large im
migration of negroes from the
South to the North.
‘'The City of East St. Louis has
and is receiving many of thes e ne

and appealing for work, with no de
mand for labor of any kind in this
vicinity, and if the exodus of the
negro population of the South con
tinues it will cause great suffering
and want 'during the remainder of
this year, especially during the win
ter months; therefore,” ■
East St. Louis is as much as-«
fccted by the menace of unttn
ployment qs any other down State
city in Illinois, according to the
government unemployment report
which remarks that there are now
about 2,000 unemployed people in
that city.
Curtailment of activity in the
coal mines of the East St. Louis
district has tended to keep other
(day laborers out of jobs, says the.
U. S. Employment Service, as the
miners have turned farm hands
and road workers in order to keep
the wolf from the door.
“There will be no demand for
farm hands or road labor as long
as this condition prevails in the
mining industry, as the miners will
fill all vacancies available,” says
the report.
“There is no great rush in the
building industry, but enough work
is going on to take care of the me
chanics in the East St. Louis dis
trict. , •

dull at this time and arc running

Mary King, Mayoralty Candidate In Boston
Is For Beer, Bobbed Hair, Easy Divorce
Staid Old Boston to Get Shock
When Nurse Turns
Loose
BY HAROLD MATSON
NEA Service Writer
BOSTON, July 29—Staid old
Boston is going to get a shock dt
two this fall when Mary V. King,
nurse and politician, cuts loose with
her campaign to be elected mayor.
In fact, the fight that Miss King
promises wc'uld stir most, any city.
And if she is not elected she will
not have failed for lack of a plat
form—for if ever a candidate had
a platform Miss King has one.
Miss King, in her thirties, bob
haired, with a strong tendency to
ward trouseres and squared-toed
shoes (and if not trousers at least
pockets in her skirts) is building
her platform of sharp-edged planks
—and she is planning her campaign
with no “It gives me great pleasure”
speeches in mind.
HER PLATFORM
Against prohibition.
Women should not be allowed to
wear long hair.
Women should smoke any time
and anywhere men smoke.
For easy divorce and hard mar
riage.
Good roads, good health and
morals.
No political speeches.
“I don’t believe in prohibition,”
she tells you tersely, “because it is
reactionary, impossible and condu
cive to law violation.
“I believe in bob-hair because it.
is efficient. Long hair is unsani
tary—it is hot on the head and hair
pins are tormentors that have de
stroyed women’s concentrative abili
ties for ages. As mayor I w<?uld
see that women employes bob their
hair—purely as a measure of effi
ciency, you understand,” Boston’s
most unusual candidate explains,
crossing her knees and clasping hffl
hands over the accesicle knei.

ALLEGED STOCK
SWINDLED HELD
Authorities at Atlantic City Nab

f
’ ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. July 29 j
—Under arrest in Atlantic City, Wil'
Haim Manville, alias Wiliam Morrp,
alias William Mansfelder, 37 years
old, is being held for Baltimore
authorities. IJe is accused of ob
taining stock and negotiable securi
ties under false pretenses.-
Police say he is also accused by
authorities in other cities of pir
ticipating in swindles whereby abolt
$400(000 was received from stock
holders of the United Hotels o'
America Company.
According to Headquarters De
tectives Kahler, Kratz. Fitzgerald
and Carroll, Manville received se-
curities to the amount of $11,700 J
from the Misses Ellen 11. and An-1’
nie S. Perot, 410 Forrest road, Ro
land Park through promise to de
liver to them 100 shares of the com
mon stock of the United Hotels of
America. Manville it is alleged,
never made the delivery.
The accused visited Baltimore last
: week, detectives state. They say
that on Wednesday he went to the
Perot home in a taxicab and made
the offer of exchange. He guaran
teed the Misses Perot an annual
dividend of 7 per cent, detectives
say.
They agreed to the exchange it is
said, went to a local bank removed
the securities from a safe deposit
box and turned them over to Man
ville, a written receipt in
return.
Hearing nothing further from
Manville, the Misses Perot investi
gated.
The police were informed and
Manville was traced to the New Jer
sey resort and arrested there late
yesterday, ocal authorities are pre
paring the necessary requisition pa
pers to bring him here.

Miss King dismisses the Idea with a
shrug, but her idea will provokr

'SYNTHETIC GOLD
'< q NOTMW
Cost of Producing Precious Met
al By German Method is De
clared Prohibitive
NEW YORK, July 29.—Scientists
and mining experts, who have been
hearing for 10 years about dis
coveries in Germany for making
gold out of lead and other metals,
were not greatly stirred yesterday
by a cable message from Berlin to
the effect that Professor Miethe, of
the Berlin Technical School had
succeeded in obtaining gold from
quicksilver at a cost of $2,164,0'09
a pound.
“There is nothing impossible
about it on the face of it,” said Dr.
W. L. Severinghaus, a physicist, of
Columbia University. “Rutherford
has shown that you can knock one
element out of another by striking
an atom a blow with an X-ray, and
we know that one radio-active ele
ment breaks up to form another.
Many hold the idea that the appli
cation of high temperature would
cause sych a disturbance to atoms
as to disrupt them and produce new
substances. In two doubtful ex
periments, one at the University of
Chicago and one at Princeton, 'it
has been reported that helium atoms
were produced by heat from heavier
atoms.
“While there seems to be nothing
intrinsically impossible about the
report, things of this kind have been
announced so frequently without
foundation that no one is inclined
to accept them without a good dgal
of evidence.”
A. H. Hebbell, managing editor
of the Engineering and Mining
Journal, said yesterday that reports
of the manufacture of gold from
base metals in the furnace of Au
gustus Lohman had been pretty wel]
discredited, but that the report that
Professor Miethe had produced gold
from quicksilver was not to be dis
missed. so lightly.
“He is a conservative man and
there is a possibility that the report
of his work may have something in
it, but it is not of much practical
value if it costs more than $2,000,-
000 a pound to make the gold.”
If quicksilver could be cheaply
transformed into gold the currency
systems of the world would be dis
turbed pretty badly, as quicksilver
common compared to gold. Quick
silver yesterday commanded a price
of $73 for the 75-pound flask, or
slightly under $1 a pound, while
gold was worth $331 a pound. Quick
silver production fluctuates, but
every year it is from four to seven
times that of the gold production.
