Station to Prepare Pure Food
For Infants Projected to
Help Fight Typhoid.
Because Gus Castle couldn’t buy fresh
mill-: for his baby daughter after deal
jers in his section had practically boy
cotted him, the city board of health has
: ordered Dr. Kennedy, city physician, to
Investigate the matter, and the Cham
ber of Commerce is planning the estab
lishment of a centra! milk laboratory
for supplying really’ pure milk to all
Atlanta. The men behind the move
ment believe it will mean better milk
fur the babies when next spring brings
the annua! danger of typhoid and in
fant diseases.
Mr. Castle, who lives at 99 West
P-m iiree street, was boycotted, he be
lieves, because when his baby contract
ed ptomaine poisoning from impure
milk he had the dealer arrested and
fined. The story of how other dealers
refused io sell him milk was published
yesterday in The Georgian, and it
aroused a storm of indignation among
city officials and citizens generally. It
is taken as a quiet determination on
the part of milk dealers to so intimi
date their customers that they will be
afraid to prosecute or report dealers
for violations of law.
City Board of
Health Gets Busy.
Dr. S. A. Visanska is chairman of the
milk committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, with Dr. Michael Hoke,
Ivan Allan and Oscar Elsas. When
Dr. Visanska read the story in The
Geotgian yesterday afternoon lie called
up the Castle family, secured details of
their troubles and at once laid the mat
ter before the city board of health. That
board met yesterday’ afternoon and In
structed Dr. Kennedy to ascertain from
ithe'eity attorney just what powers the
city has to prevent such a boycott. It
Is believed that the custom of granting
annual permits to milk dealers may be
used as a "club" and that dealers re
fusing to sell milk to any’ customer un
less for some good reason, may be de
nied permits in future.
"Certainly some way must be found
to prevent milk dealers from entering
into a combination to intimidate custo
mers and keep them from reporting
violations of law," said Chairman G H

JUDGE ADVISES MAN
SHOT AS BURGLAR TO
‘QUIT LOCKER CLUBS’
"Young man. this certainly ought to
be a lesson for you. If you belong to a
locker club, hand In your resignation
immediately. Don't lose a moment."
Recorder Broyles today thus advised
J. M. DeLoach, a machinist at the steel
hoop works, who was shot and badly
wounded a few nights ago by Nathan
King, a negro, of 335 Handover street,
who mistook him for a burglar. De-
Loach, who admitted that he had been
drinking, said he was lost and was
merely trying to find a place to warm
! himself at the time he was shot. He
informed the recorder that he doesn't
belong to a locker club and that "near
beer caused it all."
On evidence that King had chased
DeLoach and fired three shots at him.
the recorder bound the negro over or.
bond of SSOO on the charge of assault
with intent to murder.

Contractor Staggers Into Wife’s Arms
and Recounts a Remarkable Story.
Robbed and Kidnaped, He Worked
as Stoker on Ship From Vancouver
to Sydney, Australia, While His
Brain Was in a Daze.
Awoke to Consciousness in Antipodes to Find
Himself Destitute—Helped by Masons He
Makes Way Back to Atlanta and Declares
He Will Straighten Out Tangle—Joyous Re
union at Home.
Verves shattered, a shadow of his former self, Moise DeLeon,
prominent .Atlanta eontraetor. who disappeared in Chicago, Au
gust 9, staggered into his home. 744 Piedmont avenue Thursday
night, anil told his wife the dramatic story of how. crazed by
brain fever, he had wandered to the Pacific eoast, where he was
shanghaied and compelled to work as a coal heater across the
broad Pacific from Vancouver. B. (*.. to Sydney, New South
Wales.
Mr. DeLeon today began tin work of straightening out his
business affairs, which were imperrilled by his disappearance.
Friends assert confidently’ that in a few weeks he w’ill be able
to resume his place as one of the South’s most prominent build
ing men.
it was a real Thanksgiving night, for the DeLeon family.
From the day. almost three months ago. that Mrs. rtF**
reived the cablegram announcing her husband was in an Austra
lian hospital suffering from brain fever, she has expected his re
turn everv moment of every day.
His home coming was unannounced. He took a street car at
the Terminal Station and rode to his Piedmont avenue home. So
severe had been the ravages of the fever that he was not recog
nized at the station, although there were a number of his friends
there.
“I'm home.’’ he said, as his wife answered the door bell’s
ring. And before the family fireplace he told the remarkable
story of his adventures.
On leaving Atlanta, he had
planned to spend several weeks
hunting and fishing in the Mich
igan woods. lie went byway of
Chicago in order to visit friends
in that city.
Worked As Stoker
While In a Daze.
The contractor remembers reaching
Chicago and declares that on the after
noon of August 8, he went to a ball
game at the West Side park in the
Western metropolis. The next thing he
remembers is recovering consciousness
in the Sailors hospital at Sydney and
being told that he had laid there for
weeks suffering from brain fever.
Practically all his clothing was gone.
Elk and Masonic emblems, which lit
had always worn, were missing, and
.’2.000 which he had carried to Chicago
with him was gone. In a money belt,
which was not his own, S6O had been
found.
The hospital authorities told him lie
had reached Sydney aboard a Japanese
coal ship. Coal dust and the fact that
he was stripped to the waist indicat. 1
to them that he had been working ns a
stoker. The ship had pape s showing
that she had cleared from Vancouver.
Shanghaied, He Thinks,
In Vancouver, B. C.
Mr. DeLeon believes that he had
wandered to Vancouver and was there
shanghaied. A blow on the head, re
ceived when he was a boy and which
has troubled him several tines, is be
lieved to have caused the aphasia.
"Wife, Atlanta, cable.” were the first
words he spoke when h< began to re
cover consciousness. A day later he
was able to identify him • If and ft was
then that the cablegram was sent to
Mrs. DeLeon.
In the hospital were several Masons
Mr. DeLeon identified himself as i
member of the order and it was through
their agency that !>• was financially
able to return to Atlanta. As soon as
' his fever subside,; he booked his return
passage, coming byway of San Fran
cisco
Mr. DeLeon is still intensely nervous
as a result of his experiences, but his
general condition Is good. He at once
began work straightening out his af
fairs. For the present he is keeping
close to ills horn, and Is particularly
opposed to me- tiiig newspaper report
ers. Later. Mr DeLeon says, he will
give a complete account of his adven
tures.

111 FLOOD SOILS’
Newton farmers, claiming damages
r from the backwater of the Ocmulget
power dam. who went to the legislature
I for i special act so that they could sue
• tin Central Georgia Power Company ir
their own county, won a first victory in
superior court today.
Judge 1.. S. Koan, sitting at tile Ful
‘ ton courthouse, but holding court foi
Newton county, told attorneys for the
power company that the action of the
legislature was constitutional, a4
superior court was concerned, overruled ’
their special demurrers, and ordered the
i trial of the damage suits, aggregating ,
$ 0,000, to proceed. |
According to the allegations in the
nits, the dam has caused a backwatet
extending over the country for seven
teen miles, creating a swamp of stag
nant water, causing sickness and de
stroying crops.
I nder the old law. the Newton county
farmers were forced to journey to Ma
con to institute suit. They contended
that they couldn't get fair treatment in
Bibb county.
During the last session of the legis
lature. a bill was put through that pro
vided that a hydro-electric company
could be sued as a railroad company is
sued —in the county where the damage
occurs.
Under this act seven farmers repre
sented by James F. Rodgers, of Coving
ton. filed suits in superior court of New
ton county for damages aggregatinu
$50,000. J. F. Rodgers, attorney for six
of the plaintiff*, submitted a brief on
