NO JOKER IN Ills BILL
Special from United Press. {,

Especial from United Press.l
 Washington, Feb. 24.-.sThe specu- lators, the men who want to make real money out of wind and water, gre the enly people objecting to the provision in my bill which makes railroad securities of value.'' said Representative Townsend of Michigan to the United Press today.
 Townsend, who introduced the ad- ministration's5 new interstate conn merce bill, was discussing the alleged Joker in. z the measure which has been causing considerable debate.
 This was the provision that no rail- road stocks shall be issued at less than par and no bonds shall be issued unless there is the actual money value behind the paper.
 ''If there is Joker there I do not know it, continued Townsend, .and you'll have to convince me of rows itself down to this: You either want to regulate the railroads, or you don't. If you regulate them the first thing to Go is to make the paper they issue represent some tangible value so that investors may know what they are buying. If I had money to in- vest today do you think I would buy railroad stock? I would not.
 ''The fellows who have made their living by promoting ina aginary roads and by selling watered stock do not like the provisions of my proposed l.ill and i'll order 10 discredit it and perhaps secure 's .'efea. IT :sn -nd- nlent, arc crying loudly that there is g. Joker concealed somewhere about it ite assertion that paragraphs fels ting to. the selling of stock and bonds will make it possible 1ly for old est" blisbed corporations to build in new territory is utterly ridiculous.
 .'1f the railroad men who are fight ing this l,1ll or anyone else can offer better suggestions for the safeguard ing of investors and the protection of the reputation of the roads, I would like to receive them

MAYOR FAVORS SOME FOURTH OF
 JULY NOISE

Mayor Buckingham, in discussing the safe and sane Fourth of July, said, this morning, that he is not in favor of doing away with any part of the Fourth except that which is exceeding ly dangerous.

 The mayor expressed himself, on this matter, in view of the fact that Governor Weeks has addressed let ter to this subject. But the mayor is not in favor of telling the American boys that they should celebrate the country's natal day with lolly-pops and lemonade

Alderman Dudley B. Bullard, presl dent of the Fairfield County Anti Tuberculosis association, took the executive meeting of the board of di- rectors by, surprise yesterday when he called to the chair Dr. William H. Donaldson of Fairfield, and stepping to the floor of the meeting in the Stratfield. resigned as president of the organization.
 President BuIlard's action followed rather sharp criticism on the part of Dr. Donaldson, of the conduct of the office of the association, in the Police and Charities building This came ip connection with the report of pr. Donaldson as chair man of the special Red Cross stamp
 An almost unanimous protest came from the floor against accepting the resignation of President Bullard, ano after many had spoken against his course, he was persuaded to recon slider. He had said if the association lacked confidence in him, he did not wish to remain at its head. A un- enimous vote expressing confidence was then taken, and he agreed to re- sume his duties.
 pr. Donaldson also resigned both as the head of the executive board and as member Of the Dody. Ills resignation was tabled. The presi- dent having been instructed to ap- point committee of three, one of the medical profession and two lay men, to revise the bylaws, Dr. Dop- aldson consented to await the revision before insisting upon action on his resignation.
 The meeting was attended by about 25 directors of the association.

CAPTURE OF MANAGUA DUE TO OCCUR FRIDAY
 ACCORDING TO REPORTS

The fighting as Tisma was the fierc- est of the war, the total losses being variously estimated at from 500 to l. 900 killed and wounded
 Bluefields. (via wireless to Colon), Feb. 24.--It is believed here today the victory of the provis onal army over the remnants of the government forces is complete. All that remains now is the formal occupation of Managua. According to telegrams from Estrada this will be accomplished Friday. Some of the troops are already so near the capital that they can be seen through field glasses, according to messages received here. The forces under Chamerro. Estrada and Matuty are now within communication of each other and can make concerted attack on Mana9ua if necessary. Part of the army will move against the city by loats on Lake Managua while the forces under General Mena will attack from the land side. Dispatches today tell of heavy loss suffered by the Mad rig forces in fighting at San Vincen- tenz and San Ubalda. The govern ment troops were driven back, leaving their wounded on the field.

and Charities building, were hotly denied by President Bullard. Dr Donaldson declared the falling off of receipts for the sale of red cross stamps, which amounted this year tC little over $70O while last year they totaled over $2,200, was due in great part to lack of cooperation at head quarters.
 Inasmuch as MT. Bullard had prac- tically placed F. W. Post in the posi- ton of secretary of the league with lis office at the headquarters of the association, he felt called upon to de- fend Mir. Post, who recently left the place to accept a commercial position in Hartford. The defence of the off, flee, and continued attacks by Dr. Donaldson, led to A protracted wrangle, that eventually led Mrs. Herbert Knapp to take the floor and characterize the proceedings in very plain terms.
 Then rame discussion of the bearing of politics on the business of the association. This led to passage at arms between Dr. Donaldson and Former Mayor Lee. The latter de- clared he had been identified with the movement as an insorporator of the association merely because, as mayor of the city, he had been asked to lend his assistance. It was not as Henry Lee he had entered the as sociation, but as mayor of the city Any other mayor would have done the same, he protested. Further, he did not wish, he pointed out to allow any feeling that politics had entered into the association to be attributable to his presence at the directors meet irg, and he was perfectly willing to resign if his resignation was wi@snd.
 Following the meeting yestefcay came the report that Dr. Haskell who recently withdrew from the Fairfield County association, was at the head of a movement to form rival anti tuberculosis movement. It was said that a number of prominent peop'e e had been asked to enlist their interest in the society. -aAt>sss sss---5

Special from United Press.o

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, Feb. 24.-That the cap- ture of Managua is likely to occur within a short time is the conviction of the State Department officials who have been scrutinizing as far as pos sible the movements of the two arm ies of General Estrada and President Madriz.
 Only scanty reports have been re- ceived at the department and these are in some cases conflicting. The circumstances seem to indicate, how ever, that up to the present time at least. the revolutionary forces under General Chamerro have steadily inn proved their position and now hold the strategic point of the campaign.
 No confirm ation has yet been re- ceived here of the reported wounding of Captain Godfrey Fowler, who com manded a battery of guns in General Chamerro's army during the two days figkt at Tisrna. near Tipitapa. The Stae Department has asked Consul OliyAres at Managua for news con- cerning Captain Fowler.
