Chorus Girls Offer
ToDance in Court Is
Rejected by Broyles

Mildred Kelly, who adorns the front
row in the chorus OF a local theater,
Tuesday offered to show Recorder
Broyles in court how she danced the
night before to prove that Investi-
gator Ed Arthurs charges against her
grew out Of puritanical prejudice.
The police censor had declared her
dance nearly as bad as the famous
gyrations that startled Herod some
time ago, and entirely too risque for
an Atlanta audience.
Miss Kelly's offer failed to impress
Judge Broyles, who was greatly
shocked by Arthur's recital, and fined
the young woman $50 The next time
it will be Jail" said the Recorder,

NEW PLAN On
To REVIVE
A., B. & A.
BondhoIders to Buy in Railroad
at Auction Sale on
April y,

Officials in Atlanta of the Atlanta.
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
Tuesday explained the published an
nouncement of the plans for the re-
organization of new company to be
known as the Georgia, Alabama and
Western Railway Company, declaring
that the plans were merely tentative,
and would go into effect only If the
present bondholders of the road, rep
resented mainly by the Old Colony
Trust Company of Boston, obtained
possession at the public auction sale
April %.
The road, under an order by the
United States Court, will be sold at
public outcry. having been declared
insolvent. Rather than jeopardize
their investments, the Eastern capt.
talists who hold the bonds prefer to
take over the entire control of the
road. and will be the most insistent
bidders. 1t is the general belief in
financial circles that their bid will be
successful unless too strenuous OPP
position develops from the Louisville
and Nashville interests, which, ru-
NOR asserts, have cast an envious eye
toward the A., B. and A.
Few Changes Expected.
Local employees Of the road are
confident that the present bondhold-
ors will retain control, and therefore
anticipate no changes in the opera
.ion, methods or working force to
follow the pubic sale There will be,
of course, a great task in revising
stationery, tickets, tariff schedules
and the minor technical details to fl
the change of name, but that will be
all
The reorganization plan involves
new figures for capital stock, which
will be a great deal less than the
original capitalization, the difference
to represent the loss in value to the
bondholders and stockholders be-
cause Of the insolvency. The new fig
ures are such that the earnings Of the
road will be adequate to pay all in
terest obligations.
To Start Out Anew.
The receivership will be eliminated
upon sale OF the road, and the insti-
tuition will be given new lease on
life as a solvent, substantial, self
governing concern.
The new company, II the plans Of
the bondholders materialize, will have
a capitalization Of $27 1000, 900 common
stock, $3,200,000 non cumulative pre-
ferred, $2,500,00O first and general
mortgage 3O-year gold bonds, and ST.
100000 in equipment trust notes.
A number of minor details of the
reorganization scheme are not yet in
the hands Of the local officials, but
will reach Receiver F. r. Lamb, ii is
expected. within few DAYS,

Clark Defends Tolls Exemption
and Cites Court Rulings
in Support,

WASHINGTON, March 31-Charg-
ing that President Wilson has been
made the instrument to carry out
the interna tional confidence game of
England and Japan" to use the Pan
anna Canal without American COM
petition, Representative Humphrey
Republican, Of Washington, attacked
the proposed repeal Of the free tolls
exemption clause, in the House to-
day and criticised the foreign policy
of the Administration. He also paid
tribute to Speaker Clark and Major
ity Leader Underwood and said Clark
was robbed" Of the Presidency.
He declared that the Democratic
attitude in this instance was deserv-
ing of more contempt than the Eng
fish language can express" and he
put the blame for this state of af-
fairs on the egotistical. laundering,
the 'holier than thou policy" which,
he asserted, has been pursued toward
Mexico since President Wilson came
into power.
Clark Defends Free Tolls.
Defending the economic policy of
free tolls and citing court decisions
of its legality, Champ Clark, Speaker
of the House of Representatives
closed the debate for free tolls, chal-
longing the policy of President Wilson
in advocating the repeal Of the Pana-
ma Canal act which permits Ameri-
can coast-wise vessels to pass free
through the canal.
The Speaker declared that this pol
icy was a reputation Of solemn plat
form obligations, and demanded that
the Democrats hold true to the faith
proclaimed by their national conven-
ton.
He declared that he is not a can
didate for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination of 1916, for if Presi-
dent wilson's administration amounts
to a failure. the nomination will not
be worth having"
He said repeal means abandonment
Of the Monroe Doctrine.
"Pleads for Reputation"
I'VE have lived" Humphrey de-
clared, ito see the imposing spectacle
Of the President of the United States
not asking. but supplicating, the Con-
gress Of the United States to direct
ly repudiate a plank Of the platform
that he had especially approved, and
upon which he was elected and one
that brought him thousands OF votes.
We have lived to see the inspiring
spectacle of a Secretary Of State en-
Enthusiastically applauding the repudi-
alton Of the plank in the platform
that he himself wrote by the candi.
date he nominated on It. Mr.. Bryan's
opinion Of 'embezzlers' at that mo-
ment must have been above par!
ITO any man who knows our great
and beloved Speaker. who knows his
courage, his patriotism and his intel
lectual integrity, it is unthinkable that
he should come before the assembled
members of Congress and plead that
we should violate his partys platform

X. N. G. ANNUAL
CAMP, AUGUST II TO 81

Joint maneuvers of the 20 COM
panies of the Kansas National Guard
and the regular army will be he'd
at Fort Riley from August IL to
August 27. The secretary of war at
Washington did not look with favor
on a proposition made by the state
department to have the maneuvers
this year at Fort Leavenworth.
It is probable that Battery A. OF
Topeka, will be sent to Fort Sill.
Oklahoma, though this is not GER
tain. If the battery goes there It VIII
be away ten days. There is no ar
tillery now at Fort Riley, so that
il the Fort Sill deal falls through
all the battery can do will be to
take ten days practice hike out
of Topeka, in which case the gov
eminent would not directly bear any
of the expense. If the battery goes
to Fort Sill the federal department
viii bear the transportation, and the
state department will not have tc
hire horses, which would cost about
$500 for the ten days trip. The
wages and subsistence for the MOI
on either trip will be paid out o.

Long and Whitehead visit yelling
ton. Arkansas City, wichita


r. ]. Long and b. d. Whitehead
returned last night from their IN
spectIon tour in the interest OF the
natatorium. They gained some val
liable ideas from the pools at Ar
kansas City, Wellington and the
wichita Y. NJ. c. A.. A meeting OF
the directors WIN be held as soon
as possible and II Is planned TO
throw dirt for the pool excavation
early next week. -
Consultation with the owners and
builders OF the three pools visited
lead Mr.. Long and Mr.. whitehead
TO believe that pool with a floor
inches thick. walls inches Mt
the top and inches at the bottom
and aprons inches thick would
provide ample strength. The floor
and walls would be reinforced with
hog wire and the aprons with a
lighter wire. In addition, electric
welded steel reinforcing bars would
be used at the corners. The thing
which must be contehded with. Mr..
Long says, is not the weight OF the
water but the contraction.
The pool at wellington now be-
ing constructed and which Will be
privately owned. win have a shed
roof on the west side emily. A e-foot
apron on either side is provided
This pool is 30xSO and provides for
concrete reinforcing which Mr.. Long
and Mr.. whitehead believe is not
necessary to the extent planned at
wellington.
The pool at Arkansas City Is an
: outdoor one and has been used Tor
three years. It is 30x80 feet, and
aside from the roofing over the
dressing rooms, Is uncovered. The
Abilene directors obtained valuable
information from the owner OF the
Arkansas City pool. When the con-
crete floor was being laid, the men
quit work at noon while the floor
was only half completed. When the
work was resumed. the two jobs OF
concrete did not set properly anc
as a result the floor later cracked
the width of the pool. There Is only
one way to set the concrete, the
owner OF the Arkansas City poo
SAYS and. that is not to stop worn
on the concrete until the entire
lob is completed.
The Wichita pool has five incl
floor. without reinforcement, ant
an inch tile over this. Although thu
pool is set in quicksand, there ha'
been no trouble.
The depths of the pools vary from
feet to feet. 1t is likely tina
the pool here will be 3 feet at on
and 8 at the other, the water to b.
inches from the top Of the poo
proper. The handrail will be hal
way between the water surface ant
the top, making 1t easily within
grasping distance.
1--WE found that the biggest Item
of maintenance was that OF getting
the water and heating It," said Mr.
whitehead. "Here we are fortunate
in piping the water only a short dis
lance and getting it free and heated
beside. In all three towns the pools
are used large part of the day and
especially in the evening"
The 5Ox1OO foot pool planned
here is probably the largest in the
state.
