Y MAY ACT
AS BANKER FOR
HONOLULU TARS

II -
Sailors, marines and other navy men
in Honolulu may find a temporary de-
pository for funds in the Young Mems
Christian Association if the present
plans of Assistant Paymaster Rich
ard E. Lambert of the U. S. S. Alert
materialize According to the scheme
which Mr. Lambert has placed before
the association for its consideration,
il is his idea to nave the sailors de-
post their money with the association
after banking hours. As they are gen,
orally paid after the local banks have
closed. Mr. Lambert believes that the
majority of them would come to look
toward the association as a place
where their money would be safely
kept until such time as they could
place it in the bank
The matter has been discussed
among the association officials who in
turn have conferred with local bank
ing expert regarding the feasibility Of
such proposition Thus far, accord

orders C. G. s. Line Kept Open.

Denver.-The Colorado & Southern
railroad is ordered to maintain
through train service between Denver
and Leadville. instead Of abandoning
that part of it's line between Como and
Breckenridge. by mandate issued by
the United States Supreme Court.
Notification was received by the State
Supreme Court that the railroad had
submitted to the demands of the
Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce
and the State Railroad Commission
and had withdrawn its application for
supersedeas before it was consid-
cred by the highest court of the land.
The State Railroad Commission re-
fused to request of the railroad in 1912
to operate between Denver and Como
and from Leadville to Breckenridge.
That would leave twenty-five mile
stretch between Como and Brecken-
ridge unused The District Court
ruling sustained the commission and
the State Supreme Court affirmed the
decision of the lower court. A con-
tinuance of both passenger and freight
service is imperative under the ruling
of the railroad commission.
