TROLLEY EXTENSIONS.
Committee Decides On Inspection of
 Thrcc Now Sections.


 The Chamber of Commerce trolley extension committee held a meeting late yesterday afternoon and discussed the extensions of three trolley lines 10 accommodate sections of the city that are rapidly growing. H. " Camp. F. F. Hall, and E. w. Christ compose the committee. MT. Hall was chair man and A. H. Andrews acted as secretary.
 The committee is of the opinion that the Arch street line should be extend- ed to the corner of Lincoln street on Shuttle Meadow avenue because in a. short time something will have to be done to accommodate the residents who will be attracted to this section by the building that will no doubt re- suit from the Shuttle Meadow club purchases.
 The extension of the East Main street line to the Smalley street crossing. and the extension of the Chestnut street line to the new factory on Ellis street should be looked into. Next Tuesday afternoon the committee will hold an Inspection for the purpose. of determining the area of the proposed extensions will cover. At a later date the officials of the Connecticut com- pany will be invited to accom- pany the committee on trip of inspection
 This committee of the chamber will cooperate in every way with the railroad committee of the common council and when any action is taken will get together so that they will not work at cross purposes.

EXAMINATIONS ARE
 WORRYING SOLDIERS
But Doctors Insist and That Is All
 There Is to It
Especial Correspondence by J. F.
 COnnerS.)

Nogales, Arizona July 21:
 Today Captain Henry F. Ladbury. Lieutenant Griffin and Sergeant oCn- ners have been busy checking up the physical examinations of the various men. The men have already been eX- amined and their records taken twice, but again this ordeal must be en- dured. This is a thing that the boys do not take kindly to and it appears that it is necessary only because the physicians seem to have lost track of former records. Therefore they have to act the part of an east side voter acting under the instructions of the ward boss and "repeat."
 Business Men Busy.
 Private Max Spiller is now firmly entrenched as the official laundryman of the company and insists that mo checkee, no shirtee" is the policy he will follow out. Spiller is certainly making a hit with those who havo made sorry attempts at the wash or those, who having a few shekels in their pocket, have been infected with "Hobo Malaria" and don't care to work when they can hire someone else to do it for them. Private Henry
 
 of delight. In his improvised canteen barber shop he can easily imagine that he hears the Herald linotype ma chimes rumbling over his head as was his custom when installed in the Church street tonsOrial parlors. Ser iously however, Briere is kept quite busy during his spare hours. The canteen is now being freely patron- ized.
 Company I Is confined to the com pany street today as the Third Bat talion has it's turn at guard duty. It is quite a long and hot stroll from this camp to the village of Nogales, so the men spend most of their time here anyway.
 Food Supply Sample.
 Possibly an erroneous idea has been unintentionally been given out in regard to the food given the men. If such is the case it should be cor rected. Previous raps at food and bardtack were intended only to show the ravenous appetites of the men and their yearning for the delicacies that cannot be reasonably expected in camp, rather than to any lack of wholesome or nutritious food. The men have really got such appetites that tape worms have been suggested as a clue to the cause. The kitchen dcDartment is doing nObly however, and there Is no just cause for com- plaint about the quality of the mess
 There is still no running water here and having to have a Canteen portion for a days supply is no joke We have good news today however, our wooden uniforms are to be discarded Mon- dav sure and the summer weight gar ments distributed. Also, the paymas- ter threatens to rid himself of his golden loot any day The "roct of all evil" is now safe Somewhere in Nogales" and will be handed out for the boys to blow in very soon. Small chance to use it very riOtously here. but we can at least hear it jingle and enjoy that much of 1t.
 Those of the men not otherwise engaged are hard at work pitching quoits this evening and the First Regiment band is giving the Second Regiment concert.
 Fnough for tonight. Shortly the | buele's blast will sound tattoo and | demand lights out.

KITCHIN THREATENS
Says North Carolina Will Go Rcpub- Hcan By 25,GOO Unless Order By BurleSon Is ReSCinded

Washington, July 27.-Representa- tive Kitchin, democratic leader of the house protested today to Postmaster General Burleson and the federal re- serve board against MT. Burlesons re- cent order authorizing postmasters in small towns to collect without ex- change charges from state banks not members of the reserve system.
 MT Kitchin said the order would cut off most of the profits of six thou sand small state banks which are not in and can not enter the reserve sys- tenn.
 If the order stands" he declared. "North Carolina will go republican by 25,O0O."
 MT. Burlesons order was suggested by Secretary McAdoo and based OF a reserve board resolution. It provides for check collection from non-member banks in communities where there is no member to perform the service and was designed to perfect tne uni- versal check clearing system recently inauguratd by the reserve board.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Little Rcck, April 4-Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, let us talk about something else for awhile. Il will not take long for the Democrats to dispose of the Republ- leans and the Socialists, and the next excitement will be the Legislature.
 There are many interesting dednc- tions to be drawn from the recent electtGa, enc of the most evident be- ing disposition on the part of the people to dafeat the lns, and elevate the Outs. X change seems to have been the demand Of the people in county, district and state, and a change is what they get. Even in a race for Commissioner of Agriculture a man named Gardner from Union Ie0uaty. whom no ole seemed tC know. who entered the race just thir- ty days before the election, and made mo campaign whatever. or published any adyertisements.- even he got q very respectable vote against John |H Page, who was candidate for a third term. Gardner's vote ex- leeds 3000O. Mr Page was never at any time in danger. but the vote against him was simply in line with the general sentiment for I new deal
 This did not apply to Congression- al races, since there has been no break in the deiegation Congress men Taylor and Goodwin. who re mained in Washington while their opponents were campaigning and making personal appeals for votes, won easily, by even increased ma jorities. Mir. Wfngo, who came home late in the campaign, put in some telling licks toward the last, and received more than twice as many votes as his opponent. Mir. Oldfield Of the Second was the only one who really had a close call for his re- nomination.
