We Love Lancaster, But Oh You Paint
Lick.

1t was the happy lot of the writer to
spend two delightful hours in the enter
prising little city of Paint Lick last
Friday and without an attempt to fiat
ter the good people of that section it
can be truthfully said that no town of
its size has yet been found that equals
this delightful little hamlet. The gen.
erous people of that town have demon
strated that it will take more than an
ordinary flood to even check her mighty
industries. OF course Lancaster is a
good town and We expect to live here
for at least a hundred years yet, but
If we were going to change our resi-
dence we do not know of any country
beneath the sun we would rather live
in than that Paint Lick neighborhOod.

WILSON REFUSES TO

Trenton, N. J., Feb, 11.-President.
elect Wilson will make no announce
ment of intended diplomatic appoint
ments until after he takes office.
He said last night that application
and endorsements for diplomatic posts
were being filed away for the present.
1t is considered likely that quite ear
ly in the new administration the am
bassadorship at London made vacant
by the death of Whitelaw Reid, will be
filled.
MIR. Wilson spent the day working in
his office at the state house, and re-
mained there while the legislature was
in session.
President-elect Wilson has declined
to grant an audience to former Presi-
dent Castro, of Venezuela, who recently
was released by the United States Dis
trict Court in New York from detention
as an undesirable alien, pending de-
cision on writ of habeas corpus.
Castro asked that Mr.. Wilson see
him at the statehouse here.
So far as can be ascertained no rea-
son has been assigned by the presi-
dent-elect for declining to meet the
Venezuelan.

ELECTION FOR
SCHOOL BONDS
TO Be CALLED
BY COUNCIL This EVENING
Ordinance Committee Will.
Make Report

At tonight's session of the city coun-
Gil the ordinance committee, which was
instructed at the last meeting to draw
another ordinance for an election to
decide whether the city will issue
school and sewer bonds, will make its
report
AS the committee was instructed to
form an ordinance calling the election,
it is very likely that all details of the
ordinance will be ready when the COM
r;ttee makes it's report. Otherwise the
remaining details will be settled at the
session of council.
The matter of a bond issue has been
one of vital Importance for a long time.
The former ordinance calling for an
election was defective in certain partic-
ulars, so that it was invalidated and
another ordinance ordered drafted.

AFFAIRS OF LOCAL COMPANY

For Purpose Of Reorganization
and RGddiustmCRt

To the end of reorganization, and ef-
fecting a complete re-adjustment OF
the affairs of the corporation, the
Americus Gas and Electric Company
was on yesterday placed in the hands
of a receiver at the instance of the
Guarantee Trust Company, of New

trustee for the company's bondhold
ers.
The application for receiver was fill
ed by E. A. Hawkins, attorney for
the company, before Judge q. A.
Littlejohn, who appointed Mr.. Charles
M. Council receiver, by virtue of his
close relations with the New York
company.
1t is understood that the proceed
ings thus instituted is wholly to the
end of getting the affairs of the local
corporation satisfactorily adjusted, and
to that extent, is entirely friendly. The
receivership will, in due time, result
in the sale of the local plant, which, it
is understood, will be taken over AMI

There is no local indebtedness what

tracts for service will be carried out in

SUIT NOW FILED
AGAINST CHICAGO
BOARD OF TRADE
in RESTRAINT OF TRADE
Government Takes Action In
Premises

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Prosecution of
the Chicago Board of Trade for vic
lation of the Sherman antitrust law.
in fixing the price of foodstuffs, has
been ordered by Attorney General
Wickersham, according to the Tribune
today. 1t is said the proceedings will
be instituted in bill in equity to be
filed in the federal district court here
today or tomorrow.
The big grain exchange is to be ar
raigned for fixing what is known as
the "calr' price of grain each day at
the close of trading. Under a rule of
the board, no broker is permitted to
deal in grain at any but the call"
price from the closing of the exchange
on one day till the opening of trading
the next day.
The result OF this rule is the fixing
of the price of grain during a period
of about twenty-one hours each day.
Crly during about three hours of trad
ing is the price subject to fluctuations.
The penalty for violation of this rule
by any broker is suspension or expjtl-
sion. The consequence is violations
are few.
The governments contention will be
that the naming of a call price sup
presses competition and results in an
artificial imitation of the cost of food
stuffs to the consumer.
1t is said the principle of the pro-
ceeding is the same as that of the
government against the Chicago But
ter and Egg Board, to compel that
organization to cease fixing the prices

DRY" MEASURE
IS INDEFINITELY
POSTPONED
AS RESULT OF AN ERROR
Measure May Not Come Up
During Session

Washington, D. c., Feb. 11.-Sup-
porters of the Webb bill to prevent
shipments of intoxicating liquors into
"dry" states, elated by the passage Of
the bill in the senate yesterday in
place of the Sheppard-Kenyon bill,
found today that through a parlia-
mentary error, their long fight prob
ably has been futile one, so far as
this session is concerned.
The bill as passed by the senate was
identical in its provisions with the
house measure, but when it was substi-
tuted for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill il
the senate, the number of the senate
bill was allowed to remain on the
passed bill.
This, according to House Parliamen-
tartan Crisp, makes the measure an
entirely new one so far as the house
is concerned, and it will have to go to
the judiciary committee and take its
regular place on the calendar
To secure consideration for the SEN
ate bill on the floor of the house during
the crowded last days of the session,
another special rule with the same
parliamentary fight that accompanies
the rule under which the bill was
originally passed by the house will be
necessary.
Whether a rule can be adopted ami
forced through the house in the press
of appropriation bills is grave ques-
ton
The fight to get the bill into the
house under special rule broke dur
ing the afternoon. There was lively
opposition to it, and a spirited fight
on the part of its supporters to maneu-
yer the measure into a position where
it could be reported upon ahead of the
big supply bills.
