ANOTHER pROHI. FIGHT.
Both Sides Want the Law Changed,
Is the Report From Atlanta.

Is the report From Atlanta.
ATLANTA, Ga.-At the meeting.
of the Baptist ministers of Atlanta
today ]. G. Solomon, state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
warned the ministers that an attempt
was to be made against the state
prohibition law at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature, the proposed
effort being to open wine and
stralght-out beer houses. He said
he had received information which
satisfied him that this attempt would
be made.
DR.. Len G. Broughton ventured a
word OF caution as to any movement
to amend the present prohibition
law. He called attention to the fact
of Governor-elect Joseph M. Brown
being under pledge to veto any
amendment affecting the law. He
suggested that if any effort is made
to get rid of the near beer evil that
it be put in the tax bill, which the
governor will have to sign.
He also stated that on the other
side effort would be made to still
further strengthen the state prohi-
bition law by the Introduction and
pressing of a measure to wipe out
the sale of near beer in the state.
1t will be recalled, however, that
Governor-elect Joseph M. Brown is
pledged to veto any measure which
attempts to make any change.
1t is expected that when the leg
islature meets there will be a flood
of bills having to do with prohibit
! ton. 1t is doubtful if any of them
ever reaches a vote; for unles one
side can command a two-thirds vote
none can be enacted into law.

SEADOARD REORGANIZATION
WILL BE NO FORECLOSURE ON
ROAD IF PRESENT PLANS
ARE CARRIED OUT.

A plan for the reorganization of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway has,
according to a story printed in the
Baltimore News, been practically
agreed upon, and will be promulgated
by the company about June 18th.
The article says some minor details
remain to be worked out, though the
general terms have been approved by
the reorganization committee.
In brief, the plan provides for:
No foreclosure.
Present first mortgage to secure
bonds.
Money with which to pay off re-
ceivers' certificates and floating debt
to be raised through sale of deben-
ture or income bonds.
Preferred and common stock not
to be assessed.
Collateral trust three-year and
ten-year 5 per cent. bonds to be re-
tired at or before maturity.
Fixed charges under reorganiza-
ton to be reduced about 20 per cent.
Receivership to be lifted about the
end of the present year.
Elimination of voting trust.
The stock will be issued to stock
holders and by them voted.
Celebrating the foregoing features,
the paper says, there will be an issue
of debenture income bonds for the
purpose Of raising money with which
to pay of receivers certificates.
The present first mortgage to Sc
cure an issue of SIS, 100000 of 4
per cent. bonds, of which '$12, 900
are outstanding, will not be dis
turbed.
When the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way is reorganized the Seaboard
Company, the holding company, will
be dissolved, the stock of the rail
road to be distributed to the holders
of Seaboard Company shares.
1t is understood the holders of the
! first mortgage 4 per cent bonds will
| be asked to deposit their securities
with the trustee of the mortgage, the
Continental Trust Company, in order
that a supplemental mortgage may
be agreed to by which the per cent.
bonds MAY be redeemed at the pleas
ure of the company at par
1t is intimated that the plan of
reorganization as agreed upon is de-
pendent upon the acceptance of the
terms by the holders of per cent.
bonds, and unless this assent is given
! it may be necessary to foreclose.
The terms, however, are regarded
as liberal to all interests.

FASHION VERSUS BEAUTY.
Boston Sculptor Tells How Female
Form Is Being Ruined.

Boston Sculptor Tells How Female
Form Is Being Ruined.
That woman's figure has been
ruined by slavery to fashion is the
declaration of Hugh Gains, the Bos-
ton sculptor, He says;
"Woman's figure is getting poorer
and poorer every year. The women
of today are getting farther and
farther away from the Greek figure
Of 1000 years ago.
AS one instance of this, those
who determine what is fashionable
are trying to bring the waist line
farther down all the time At pres
ent an effort is being made to get
it down as low as the hips. This is
all wrong, of course, for nature long
ago determined that it should be just
below the breast, allowing q soft,
graceful line from hip to armpit. So
long as fashion dictates that the
waist shall be close to the hips, so
long will we have women with bulg-
ing, lumpy hips and other deform-
tiles.
eff women would have just such a
waist as they seek-the beautiful
that we see in classic paintings and
sculpture, the waist that character
lied the ancient Greek woman-let
them avoid fashions"

NO DEATHS ON PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad System Had No Fatalities
During the Year 1908.


During the Year 1908.
Reports of the passenger traffic on
the $4,000 miles of the Pennsylvania
system disclose the remarkable rec
ord of 141, 659, 543 passengers car
ried during 1908 without a single one
killed as the result of train acct
dent. The number of passengers in
jured in train accidents during the
showed a decrease
of SIG per cent, from the 1907 fig
ures, although the lines carried H.
344,413 fewer passengers than in
1907, a loss of only IA per cent.
These figures include every case re-
curing surgical or medical attention,
so that one person out of every l.
3S8,819 carried was injured.
Statistics for the Pennsylvania
lines east of Pittsburg, directly OPP
Grated, show a total of 8S,328, 1904
passengers carried in 1908, with 81
injuries in train accidents On the
lines west of Pittsburg, directly ops
Grated, 22,314,2 200 passengers were
carried during the year, and there
were but II injured as the result 'of
train accidents. Of the subsidiary
lines, independently operated, the
record of the Long Island road is
the most striking. That line carried
during the year 23,242,83S passen-
gers, with only II injured in train
accidents. This road has now been
operated for Is years, it is stated,
without a fatality to a passenger due
to a train wreck.

SICK LIONS SENT TO AFRICA.
Trainer Says Decrepit Beasts Are
PLANTED for Tourists.

PLANTED" for Tourists.
Two of the largest animal dealers
of Europe, Calignari, of Naples, and
Heggeman of Berlin are said to have
been purchasing animals from the
menageries and ZOOS of Europe for
the last two years and shipping them
by devious routes to British East
Africa. According to Giovanni Lo-
catelli, a trainer of animals, who ar
rived in Boston from Naples the 9TH
er day, both Calignari and Hegge-
man have been buying aged animals
for two years and shipping them to
East Africa in the interest of some
one who wanted to make that sec
ton more popular hunting ground
+ for tourists.
The trainer also says that he was
in charge of a station at Malta,
where the firms had been shipping
large consignments Of tropical ami
mails. He trans-shipped them, he
said, to Fort Melindi, where they
were liberated. Aged lions, decrepit
hippopotami, consumptive leopards,
which had been in captivity so long
that they would feed out of the train
er's hands, and several gnus all Sc
cured from the animal shows of
Europe in exchange for better speci-
mems were shipped to Malta.
In support OF his claims Locatelli,
who came to, America to seek employ
ment in Canada, cites the unusual
number of wild animals in the
neighborhood of Mombasa. He
claims that lions have wandered into
the streets in the villages looking
for food, and the natives have been
amazed at their lack of fear and of
ferocity.

A PITIFUL FUTURE FOR FRANK
GOULD'S CHILDREN.
So Much Rubbish Between Di-
yOrced millionaire Parents.


vOrced Millionaire Parents.
We have grown SO accustomed to
divorce among the ultra-rich couples
of this country that long ago we
gave up trying to remember just
whose former wife any particular
millionaire or society man was living
with at the present time. The mar
riages and divorces and remarriages
serve their purpose, for they help fill
the columns of the big daily papers
and they teach common mortals that
marital felicity is something which
lis less likely to take up a permanent
abode in palatial parlors than in
humble cottages. But for the chill
dren of these unfaithful. and discor-
dant and multi-married couples we
cannot but feel sorrow. The effect
of these puzzling matrimonial entan-
clements cannot be beneficial either
to their morals or their happiness
Take the case Of ConsueIo, Ouch
ess of Marlborough, for an example
of the inconvenience, to say the least,
which attends these Kaleidoscope
changes in matrimOny. When the
duchess comes home on a visit she
must divide her filial devotion be-
tween her father, William x. Wander
bilt, and her step-mother, who was
Mrs. Ann Harriman-Sands-R uther-
ford before she became Mrs. Wander
bilt, on the one side, and her own
mother, who is Mrs. Oliver H. p. Bel
mont, on the other.
The Gould Children.
But for downright pathos let us
take the little children of Frank J.
Gould. Eight years ago Frank Gould
married Helen Margaret Kelly. They
have two children-Helen Margaret,
aged 7, and Dorothy, aged 5. A few
days ago Mrs. Gould secured her de-
cree of divorce, Justice Girard find
ing that the husband had been guilty
of such misconduct as to warrant the
decree. But, singularly enough,
while Gould is not fit to remain the
husband of his former wife he is
adjudged fit to remain the father of
the little girls Here is what is
marked out for the future of the
| poor little things:
The decree provides that the moth
err shall have the sole custody and
control of the children from Decem-
Der to April, both inclusive, in. each
year, and the father from May to
November, both inclusive, with GER
tain exceptions.
These exceptions are set forth in
the minutest detail by the court.
Mrs. Gould is entitled to the chill
; dren for four consecutive days in the
first Is days of June each year, and
for a similar period during the last
15 days in September, provided she
gives Mr.. Gould five days notice
prior to June LIST and September
18th. On the first Friday in Octo-
Der and November Mr.. Gould is di-
rected to have the two children left
at the house of his former wife, or
other suitable place she may desig-
nate, before 4 o'clock in the after
noon, and they are to remain with
her until the following Monday
morning, when she is to return them

H0TCHK|SS CAPTAIN
EarIham Basketball Team
C0nfers Honor on Star
Forward of the Five.
HE is A GREAT PLAYER

Arthur S. Hotchkiss, Earlham's star
forward, was elected captain of the
basket ball team yesterday afternoon.
Hotchkiss Is one OF the Oldest players
on the team from the point of service
and deserved the honor bestowed up
on him. In fact he was the most logic
al candidate for the position and the
captaincy was considered his long be-
fore the meeting yesterday.
Last year Hotchkiss was one Of the
forwards who made Ea1lham a factor
in college basket ball of the state. He
lead the forwards of the state in
standing of field goals thrown, and
was given place on some of the all
star Indiana fives.
Much of the success of the team de-
ponds ON Hotchkiss this year. 1t is
admitted on all sides the team has
not shown the form that characterized
the early form Of last seasons team
and whatever success Earlham has
will be largely due to Hotchkiss.

SHOES AND STOCKINGS.
A Way by Which Their Lasting Quail
ties MAY Be Increased

A Way by Which Their Lasting Quail
ties May Be Increased.
While your shoes are new or before
small brush several coats OF linseed
Oil, letting it dry in well each time be-
fore reapplying. The oil acts much
the sane on the leather as 1t does on
wood, and If the applications Of oil
are repeated frequently the sole may
be preserved intact indefinitely.
1t sounds unreasonable to talk of
preserving hosiery to any appreciate
extent, but it, may be done. The Of
tener hosiery is washed the longer it
will last. BY washing do not neces-
sariIy mean the ordinary laundry
method, which is calculated to fade
and rot the fiber. Really, to preserve
hosiery it must have personal super
vision. Stockings should never be
worn longer than one day. They
should then be rinsed in lukewarm
water with a few drops of ammonia
in it, dried and worn without ironing.
This repeated wetting of the fiber
keeps 1t so firm and strong that it will
not break at the points Of greatest
distension. This treatment applies to
cotton, Isle thread and silk hosiery.
If you will treat your new hose this
way from the beginning, you need
darn but very little. OF course in time
all hosiery, however expensive or
strong, will succumb to wear, but the
above method Of treatment will double
the lasting qualities. New York

THE Letter THAT KLlETH.

Triflins Errors That Have Has Big
Results In Court.
It is on record that Lord Denman
established great reputation at the bar
by securing an acquittal in a famous
case on the ground that a certain firm
described in the indictment as PRO
prietors of silk and cotton lace man
ufactory" should have been described
as "proprietors Of a silk and of cot
ton lace mandatory" It having been
ascertained that they made both silk
and cotton lace.
In 1927 Judge quashed an inquisi-
ton for murder because it was refer
red to the jurors as ION their oaths"
instead of ION their OATH
In yet another case the Judge held
that the omission Of the word "ewe"
was sufficient to invalidate a convic-
ton because the word ''ewe" as we'll
as sheep was used in the statute.
In 1S41 Lord Cardigan was indicted
for firing on Captain Tucket In a duel.
He was acquitted because the cap
tain's Christian names were wrongly
entered in the indictment.
In another case about the same pc
Rod legal document was invalidated
because the letters A. d. were used
instead of the words TN the year Of
our Lord. Review.
