County Can Make Bond

Little More Real Effort
Two Towns Over the Quota and
Durant is Only $36,20O Behind
Her Quota According to Un-
official Reports.

AS the News views the situation, Bryan county go
the top on her Liberty Loan apporonment by the
expenditure of little human energy and the
else of little financial effort although the time
this written only towns tO-wit. Caddo and Box
chito had for certainty raised their quota
There today definite reports from any other
made raise the apportonment assessed by the Federal
Reserve Bank Dallas and with two exceptions,
where interest is tagging. they will all make good it
appears.
Durants quota S297 900, appeared difficult at the
and is difficult goal. although little more effort
will make good The total subscriptions in the local banks
up II O'Clock Tuesday morning were $295SO0 appar
entity only short piece from the goal However, there
lot of these subscriptions made at local banks by far
and others who live in other communities that have
been assessed and their subscriptions will necessarily in
fairness, be counted for their community. From in
formation from the bankers the News gucsses the
anlom, of local banks subscriptions this
about $35 0O0 and this added to the amount
the total subscriptions lack of reaching the apportiOn
would indicate that Duran is about $36.2OO behind
her minimum appOronment.
The remaining subscriptions will necessarily be slow
and hard get about all the prospective buyers Of
from $500 up have already bought and it takes lot Of
fifty and one hundred dollar sales to get anywhere

The. Department OF Justice today

glass or other substance in canned or
bottled goods, or in candy, has been
run down by agents Of the Bureau
Of Investigations and the Army and
Navy Intelligence Services.
In no case has any fact been dis

OPPOSITION
HASFAILED IN
PERPETUATING
R. R. CONTROL

With the Administration forces in
complete control, the Senate expected
10 pass the railroad bill substantially
as It was recommended by the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee be-
fore adjournment tonight.
There will be few votes, il any,
against the bill. All Senators realize
the need of passing some sort OF a
measure to establish the relationship
of the Government TO the railroads
during the war. Stubborn fighting
conferred again today about the
amendments, with the Administration
mastering enough votes to overthrow
practically every attempt at modinca-
ton.
Test May Come Today.
No really accurate test Of perma-
neut government control strength has
yet been obtained in the fight over
the bill On the votes thus far
taken, other elements have entered
into the contest to prevent a correct
measurement of the permanent gov
eminent control strength Such test
may be obtained today when Senator
CummIns Of Iowa again offers his
amendment to create a commission OF
five members to take over the con-
troll Of the railroads after the war
and until the expiration of the time
limit of Government operation fixed
by the bill
. When this amendment was before
the Senate yesterday the Senate re-
jected II by a viva voce vote. Senator
Cummins let 1t be known that he
would demand a roll call on it today.
This amendment, it was believed,
would furnish an opportunity to test
Government control of the railroads
under normal peace time conditions.

and as twill stand in all probability
when finally passed. are:
= A guaranteed return to the rail-
-roads, based upon the average earn
-tngs for 1915, 1916, and 1917, estima-
Led at approximately $950,OOO,0OO.
= A grant OF power to the President to
initiate new rates subject to final
review by the Interstate Commerce
Commission
organization of the period OF Gov
ernnent control eighteeA months After

The House continued debate on the
bill again today, and expected to
reach a final vote early next week
General debate will end at o'clock
today. and amendments will be taken
up tomorrow.

RAID TOOK PRISONERS

the troubles OF the gas company are
freshly before the commission. which
has sympathized with the general
proposition that the company Is en-
titled to a reasonable increase Of
rate. This sympathy has profted the
company nothing because Of the In
lection Of a legal battle along tech
meal lines between Conrad Syme,
counsel for the commission, and At
tcrney Darlington, OF counsel for the
gas company, each charging the other
with an Inconsistent and Negotiable
position.
Believes Company eJOekeys."
Mr.. syme believes that MT. Darling
ton Is "jockeying'' for a position to
appeal from any increase OF rate that
may be made. at the same time pre-
serving his appeal from the ecmmis-
sion's valuation OF the property Of
the company. Mr.. Darlington re-
torts that he has legal right to ap-
peal to the courts.
The legal night has threatened to
prevent a clean-cut decision on the
question OF the application for in
creased rates and to result in a dis
missal Of the application without
prejudice pending the untangling of
technicalities. The utilities commits
siOners have been too busy to read
Mr.. Darlington's concluding argu-
ments on the legal phases. When they
do a situation may be brought about
that will clear up the tangle.
On the basis Of the position that
rates can not be increased to a. util-
tiles company while the subject OF the
valuation Of its property is unsettled,
the two railway companies are rather
far off from the time when they may
make application for increased fares.
Case Long Pending.
Proceedings for the valuations Of
the properties OF the Capital Traction
and Washington Railway companies
have been pending before the Utili-
ties Commission for months and are
to be brought to a close within the
next few months.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company Is the only local cor.
poration that has accepted the valua-
ton made OF its property by the IT'LL
tiles Commission. but there are some
concluding touches to be made to this.
The company is asking for increased
rates and the abolition of the fiat rate
system to subscribers.
