NEW LINE BEING USED
Fourteenth Street 10 Opened UP to
Grand Avenue-Has Been Now
Iy Surfaced With
Concrete.

The new street car loop at Rand
park has been completed and Is in
use. The street car tracks on Grand
avenue from Thirteenth street to the
park have been taken up and Four
teenth street, which has been recent
ly completed Is now open to traffic.
The new car loop is placed on the
ground where the old Casino stood
The street cars are routed now along
Seymour street to the park and
around this loop and back over Sey-
mour street to Thirteenth. The cars
use the same tracks both going to
and coming from the park as were
used in going from the park on the
old loop system
The rails and trolley wires are all
in place, and all that remains to be
done is to smooth up the ground
around the tracks
The new loop will prove of con-
venience in saving time, and it will
also permit of taking the tracks off of
Grand avenue. During the days when
the amusement park, Casino and the
baseball park were running, the cars
served all Of these amusement places.
The tracks were laid then along the
side OF the baseball park and on the
sidewalk space along Grand avenue.
The changing of the track and
taking out the one on Grand avenue
has opened the new Fourteenth street
to traffic. This street has been sur
faced with concrete from Grand
avenue to Orleans avenue.

December,

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The drive
to make the nation dry is temper
arily halted.
Due to q house decision to consider
only war measures at this time, the
prohibition amendment-passed by
the senate late yesterday-will go
over to December. probably.
1T is likely that no action will be
taken by the house before the new
congress convenes." said Representa-
tive Webb. house dry leader, today.
when II comes up 1t will pass
overwhelmingly"
Drys in and out of congress, how
ever. are laying the groundwork
now for pushing their fight.
State organizations were notified
today to put extra pressure into the
campaign for ratification Of the
amendment. The doubtful states Will
be the center of heavy attack.
I'VE will secure the adoption Of
the prohibition amendment by the
necessary number of states" E. G.
Dinnwoody, superintendent Of the
Anti-Saloon League of America said.
AZ will not say now the states In
which we will begin our fight. But
we will easily add ten states to the
twenty-six already dry or about to
20 dry by legislation heretofore
enacted.
House "drys" today talked of a
democratic caucus to determine
whether prohibition shall be brought
up despite the previous caucus agree
ment to consider nothing but war
measures.

ter, according to the position taken
by the board at its first meeting held
at the state house.
Furthermore the board will hold
no hearings but claims submitted to
them must be made by affidavit. 1t
was decided The meetings OF the
board will be held at the state house.
It's duty is to hear all appeals from
decisions of city and county exemp-
ton boards.
All five members of the board were

the board are George Tucker of Gin

ley of Atlantic, farmer and stock
man.
1--WE want It understood that 1t will
be hard matter to secure exemp-
lions from this board" said Chair
man Ely in discussing the policy of
the board. 1--WE have been assigned
a hard task and we are going through
with it to the end
1--WE will not hold any open hear
ings Appeals to this board must be
made by affidavit.

Furthermore 1t is the duty Of
every man interested to see to 1t that
there is no perjury There will be
no leniency shown either by the
state or government if there is per-
Jury in the statements sworn to by
those seeking exemption. If one man
should be exempted on false claims
which were not detected it would be
grave injustice on the other men
| who are drawn. So 1t is to every
mans interest to see to 1t that the
self in his statements to the local
board.
these statements will be made
out on properly prepared blanks and
will be open to the inspection Of all
at the Offices Of the local boards.
IT have heard that some manufac.
turers were going to claim exemp,
ton for many of their men. Manu-.
facturers and employers should use
sound Judgment In making their
claims. A manufacturer should not
make out that his business is as of
much importance as the govern
ment's at time like this.
1--WE do not know whether or not
we will have five appeals or 5000
but it might as well be understood
that an exemption will be hard to
get.''
The board spent much of It's time
carefully going over the in
structions from the government as
to its duties and powers.
