WANTS SHORT LINES
Government to Take Them Over for
Sake of "Fair Dealing"

Washington, June 26.-The railroad
administration, for the sake of, eff
cheney and fair dealing, Is seeking
some way to take over control of the
short line roads. If no definite deci-
sion is reached in the next few days
the president probably will ask con-
gress to extend the time limit, now set
at July 1, when control of the short
line roads can be taken over by the
government.
Director General McAdoo and
Judge John Barton Payne, chief coun-
sci for the railroad administration,
have written letters to the chairmen
of congressional committees, asking
for an extension of time in which the
railroad administration can act. There
is no opposition to reasonable delay
but congress has failed to take action,
Walker D. Hines, assistant director
general. and Judge Payne had a con-
terence with President Wilson this
afternoon on the situation as affecting
the short line roads. They did not ask
The president for a definite decision
put informed him of the attitude of
the railroad administration and asked
for advice.
There Is general opinion among
railroad officials in Washington that
the government should take over the
snort line roads, 1t is believed by
them that this action will be taken
early this fall if congress will agree to
give additional time in which thew
may be taken over by the government.

sibility that Mrs. John r. Jackson, of
Kansas City, was poisoned before her
husband threw her body from a Pull
man compartment of a speeding Bur-
lington train on the night of June ID,

three possible ways in which Mrs.
Jackson met her death-one that she
was strangled to death before her half
nude body was hurled from the train,
another that she was pushed from the
car window by her husband and the
third that she was poisoned.

DRY LAW WITH Teeth
Texas Will Send Bootlcggers AMI
Other Violators to Pen.

Austin, Tex, June 26.-Texas- be-
came officially dry today when a
bill enacted by a special session of
the legislature and which prohibits the
manufacture or sale of intoxicants
within the state became a law. The
remaining Saloons-numberlng be-
tween 900 and 400, according to rec
ords in the comptroller's office which
were outside the limits prescribed by
the ten mile zone around camp of
military instruction, are thus banished.
Not a saloon. brewery or distiIlery
remains lawfully in operation in the
state.
Both interstate and intrastate ship
ments of liquor are prohibited by az
other law enacted by the legislature.
The only way any Texan can get
liquor without violating the law is to
go out of the state, purchase it and
bring it back himself for his personal
use.
VIII Test Law.
1t is expected that constitutionality
of the law will be tested. But since
the higher courts of the state recess
for their summer vacation the last of
the present month, and do not con-
vene again until October, court action
designed to interrupt enforcement of
the law may not be taken for several
months.
The chief contention against the
laws constitutionality Is that it vfo-
lates that provision which accords To-
cal option to counties.
The law permits the use of alcoholic
stimulants as medicines lin case of
actual sickness" if purchased on writ
ten prescription of a physician. Use
of alcohol also is permitted for sacra-
mental, scientific or mechanical pur-
poses.
Violation of any provision of the act
constitutes a felony and involves a
penitentiary sentence of one to five

KING LEARNS BASEBALL
George of England Will Pitch First
Ball in Game July 4.

London, June 26.-King George is
learning to throw a baseball in prepa-
ration for his appearance at the game
between American teams July when
he will pitch the first ball.
At the request of the king, Arlie
Latham, a former big league player,
who will umpire the game, sent the
king a regulation baseball a few days
ago.
The next day Latham called at the
palace and gave the king brief les
son as to how it should be handled.
The proper form in pitching was
rather hard for the king to get, as
he is used to a different type OF
throw, as in cricket, but the royal
student finally began to get something
approaching the right swing. Since
then :he king has been practicing in
spare moments on a blank wall in
the garden.
