GET A NEST EGG.
Concert at Auditorium Nets 1925 for
Free Concerts.

1t is estimated that 1925 was netted
Thursday night through IAN Evening
of Song at the Auditorium. The num-
Der of those who were admitted at the
doors was $50 as told by the count of
the tickets, but the management of the
AID club in charge of the concert be-
lieve that there were some people who
possessed tickets who did not attend IN
account of the threatening weather
conditions.
The proceeds will go towards a fund
which will pay for free daily organ
concerts beginning April 1. The Ad
club has on hand SIS, and the remainder
of the necessary amounts, 900 or 81, 200
may be raised by the merchants, who
are interested in the noon attraction as
they believe that this will be a drawing

new AETNA SUIT
Action to EnjOin New Officers
From Acting.
Also Prevents Old Ones From
Giving Up PIstces.

Troubles of the Aetna Building &
Loan association became more compE-
Gated today when suit was filed in the
United States district court to prevent
the seating of the new board of direc-
tors and officers elected at the Thurs
day meeting Both the Old and new
officers are made party defendants to
the action brought by Hazen & Cav
and Charles Blood Smith, attorney for
the old officers.
The action filed today seeks to re-
strain the old officers from surrender
ing their jobs or any of the books OF
records of the association. 1t likewise
is aimed at enjoining the new crowd
from taking over the jobs to which they
were elected.
In Kansas City tomorrow Judge Pol
lock will be asked to approve the re-
port of Judge Sluss, master OF the re-
cent Aetna election. To do this will
mean the endorsement of the court
seating the new board ana it's officers
and appointees. With the report of the
master. the court will be confronted
by the injunction proceedings brought
on behalf of four Oklahoma saarehoId-
ers, who insist on a hearing Attorne- S
for both the new and old crowd IN the
loan association tangle will appear be-
fore the court. The new case Will open
q review of the methods OF both fac-
lions in securing proxies and the court
will pass on the legality Of the election
just closed.
At d meeting late Thur 5day after
noon, the new directors elected Ferd
Funk, OF Marion, secretary of the as
ISOLATION. Both Funk and Frank
Thompson were considered, as candi-
dates for the secretaryshi p Late N
the afternoon Thompson's name was
withdrawn from the consideration OF
the board and Funk was elected with
out opposition. The board ;at the same
time elected Mrs. Clara. R.eifxe treas
urer She has been in the. employ If
the association a number OF years and
was the only candidate considered for
the appointment.
Now the new officers are anxiously
awaiting an order from the court per
hitting them to take over their jobs
Several of the old and new officers
will attend tomorrow's hearing in kan
sas City and the greater portion of
the day will probably be consumed in
presenting the issues to the court. The

TO SEE ABOUT RATES.
Hearing on Car Lot Cases VIII Be
Held March IS.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will hold a hearing at Chicago
March % to consider complaints on the
practice of the railroad companies in
weighing carlot and less shipments OF
goods 1t is alleged that the weights
recorde by this system are in excess
of the actual weight of goods. Secre-
tary HogueIand of the State Utilities
Commission said today that the Santa
Fee had q fine system of weighing and
that no complaints had been made on
this road.
The case of the southwest shippers
against the railroads has been set for
hearing by the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington April 3.
This case involves the fight for rates to
the gulf equitable with Atlantic sea-
board rates.
Secretary Hogueland of the Utilities
Commission has figured out that the
state pays $4,000 per year for telephones
in the state house alone There are
thirty-three offices in the big building
that use telephones. After the con-
solida ton of the Independent with the
Bell this cost will be reduced, according
to Hogueland's figures, to 1880 per
year. Hoguelan41 believes that if a cen
trail switchboard is installed in the state
house to serve a IL the offices as is the
case with the Santa Fe building, the
cost of telephone service to the state
can be still further reduced.

HYATTSVILI-E, Md, June "a meet
ing Of the magnates of the Prince Georges
County Base Ball League was held last
night in the Office of the Hyattsvile in
dependent, President E. 4. Fuller in the
chair. Harry !. Quinn resigned as man
ager of the Mount Rainier club. and VIII
liam HI. Vennaman was elected in his
stead. Manager Harvey d. Smith asked
that he be allowed to recruit his team
from members of other clubs. and this re-
quest was granted. Manager Smith de-
clared that the other teams Of the league
had expressed an unwillingness to play
on the Riverdale diamond. and the league
granted his request TO play on either one
of the other three diamonds. Mount
Rainier filed a list of twenty players
among them being Chief Greene of
Catholic University fame and 'Skeets''
Hayes of the American Security and
Trust Company. Manager Holden pro-
tested that Hayes had signed to play
with HyattSville, but the league voted
that Hayes was the property of Mount
Rainier. Bladensburg now has the lead
in the race for the pennant, but is being
closely pressed by Hyattsville and Brent
wood The games are attra citing consd-
cradle attention, and there is considerable
jockeying among the managers to
strengthen their teams, and the question
of the eligibility of players is apt to cause
the league considerable trouble before the

thirteenth game, which was started last
Monday night and upon which SO much
depends, will be finished tomorrow night
The adjourned position Is pretty nice
end game study, in which Walker, play
ing White. has knight and five pawns.
and Napoleon knight and seven pawns.
The position is very critical and SUR
face examination does not show posi-
tive advantage for either player.
A draw may easily result from POSI-
ton of this kind and it is possible there
fore that the match may not be decided
by this game.
In any case whoever wins will know
that he has been in a match, and the
loser will have no cause for humiliation
1t is possible that another match will
be played in the fall. as a score of seven
to six is not decisive enough to satisfy
either the loser the winner.
The match between Wootton and
Chandler is also tied up at two games
each, Chandler winning the fourth game
in brilliant style after losing two out of
the first three. A strong rivalry has ex-
listed for some time between these two
players, and they finally decided to play
a set match of five games up to decide
the argument. Both players are out to
win, and the match promises to be in
teresting to the finish.
The chess and checker solving contests
are getting more and more exciting, and
it is possible that ties will exist after
solutions for the tenth problem comes in.
