A serious accident occurred at
Monument Tuesday, when Miss Ethel
Phelps was dragged for half mile
under a field rake, by runaway
team. The girl was seriously injured
internally, to say nothing of the ter
rible outward cuts and bruises. She
was only saved from instant death
by the skillful work of Frank David
son, who, being unable to stop the
frightened animals, threw large
stone and struck one of the horses in
the head, knocking it senseless. Very
few hopes are being entertained for
her recovery. Miss Phelps Is IS years

Rev. DIR. Wood Tells of a "Kid"
Whose Captain Was Sub

Americans watch with pride their SOL

be, and the garb they wear is a badge
of the fact But underneath 1t all lots
Of them are just lonely and homesick
boys, with not great deal in the way
of amusement (though that is being
remedied) and made serious in mind by
thoughts of the future. The friendly
and even paternal relationship between
officers and men, however. following
the French rather than the German
scheme of things, is a great help says
Rev. DIR. Charles Wood. pastor of the
Church of the Covenant, who told the
following story before the civics sec
ton of the Twentieth Century Club:
"A young infantryman at one Of the
big camps was sick-at least he COM

with the kid. which seemed to improve

The officer was the real thing. With

u. S. SEEKS TO DISSOLVE
A LOCAL CORPORATION
Federal Petitioners Allege Abuse of
Functions and Non-User
of Franchise.

Alleging abuse of its corporate func-
tions and non-user of its franchise. pro-
ceedings to dissolve the corporation
known as Walker & Tarver, Inc. and
also as the Federal Finance Corpora
ton, We're Instituted yesterday in the
District Supreme Court by United
States Attorney Laskey and Assistant
United States Attorney Archer on be-
half of the United States of America.
The petition of the government shows
that Walker * Tarver. Inc. secured a
local charter to conduct a brokerage
and commission business January Is
last. Its authorized capital was $4,000,
divided into shares of $40 each The
trustees named in the application were
Samuel p Walker. William Q. Tarver
and Frank Z. Harmon, jr., it is alleged.
One month later the concern applied
to the District Supreme Court and was
granted permission TO change its name
to the Federal Finarce Corporation.
j. H. Carmichael is said to have been
president OF the corporation and Will
liam F. Wilson its secretary. William
y. Tarver withdrew from the company,
the court is told. but the government
lacks information as TO whether Wal
ker and Harmon are still connected
with il.
II is alleged that the corporation of
Walker * Tarver ceased TO exercise
corporate functions after the change OF
name except as the Federal Finance
Corporation. Under this name, it is
charged. the concern attempted to sell
stock Of the Washington City Life In
surance Company at $40 per share
when the par value of the insurance
stock was SO. The represent alton was
made. the court is advised, that sub
stantial part of the extra charge of
$40 per share would be contributed to
q surplus for the insurance company.
The government charges that only 81
per share OF this extra charge has been
contributed TO surplus.
The United States attorney claims
that VI der a decision of the Court of
Appeals the courts nave no jurfsdic-
tion to change the name of a corpora
ton and that the decree permitting the
change was void and that the corpora
tion under either name should be dis
solved.
