WALKER D, HINES
SUCCEEDS MAD00
New Director General of Rail-
roads FavOrs Swear Federal
Control Plan

Washington, Jan. 12.-Walker D.
Hines, assistant director general of rail-
roads. has been appointed by President
Wilson to succeed William Gibbs McAdoo
as director general. The appointment was
announced yesterday.
Mr.. Hines said he intended to carry out
the policies of his former chief. Like Mr..
McAdoo, Mr.. Hines believes that the pc
Rad Of federal control over the railroads
should be extended to five years, or else
the roads should be returned as quickly
as possible to their owners. He will de-
clare this position formally to the Senate
interstate m committee, which Is
now considering the matter.
MR.. HINES RAILROAD CAREER
The appointment Of Walker d. Hines
as director-general of railroads was re-
ceived with reserve in railroad circles
here yesterday. Mr.. Hines has definitely
announced that he favors a continuation
Of federal control of the carriers for a
ive-year periNl. and a majority of the
railroad executives of the country are
opposed to ar extension of time. On
this point the railroad men and the new
dire~ctor-general start off with a dis
agreement. There are some railroad men
who approve Mr.. McAdoo's plan to in
crease the span of federal control to Ave
years, and the appointment has their
approval. 1t has been understood for
weeks that Mr.. Hines has been decided
upon to head the railroad administra-
ton.
Mr.. Hines was born In Russelville, Ky,
on February 9, 1870. At IS he was gradu-
ated from Ogden College and entered the
University of Virginia. Five years later
he ra4ni,1I tl4 aora ~ frA,,
that institution, and shortly thereafter
entered the railway field as an assistant
attorney for the Louisville & Nashville
at Louisville. He specialized in a study
Of interstate m laws, and in 1900
was appointed first vice-president of the
road.
He left the Louisville & Nashville four
years later and formed a law partnership
with Alexander Humphrey of Louisville.
at that time counsel for the Southern
Pacific company and other railroads in
the South. In 1906 Mr.. Hines came to
New York and was made counsel for the
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe. Shortly
thereafter he was made chairman of the
board of directors of that company and
later was made chairman of the roads
finance committee.
When this country entered the war he
resigned his Offices with the Atchison and
went to Washington, where he volun-
teered his services for the duration of
the war. A the same time he resigned
from many other corporations. AS as
sistant director-general of railroads, he
has been generally considered by railroad
men to have been Mr.. McAdoo's right
hand man. Railroad executives who
know Mr.. Hines say they believe he will
administer the duties of his office with
the thoroughness that has characterized
his business career. In politics he is a
democrat.

Will Vote Again ON Paving
And WaterWOrkS Extension
QUESTION OF THE LEGALITY
OF BOND ISSUES HAS ARISEN,
AND MOTHER ELECTION
WILL BE CALLED.

1t is probabale that the citizens of
Dawson will be called upon to vote
on the question of street paving and
waterworks extension and improve
ment, and it is expected that reso-
luton fixing such an election will be
adopted by the council at its regular
meeting tonight. This course is deem
ed advisable by reason of the fact
that the notice of the former bond
election inadvertently fixed the ma
turity of the proposed bonds at four
months over the constitutional limit
of thirty years.
This error was discovered before
the bonds were validated and the
council sought to remedy it by prop
er resolution, and this was taken into
consideration by the court in validat-
ing the issues When the bonds were
offered for sale a question as to their
legality was raised on this score,
though no definite legal opinion was
in fact offered that they would be
invalid. On. the other hand, local at
torneys have expressed the opinion
that the bonds as proposed would
meet every constitutional and legal
requirement. To have an authorlta-
tive determination of the question,
however, it would be necessary to
take the matter to the supreme court,
which would mean delay of several
months, perhaps. For this reason 1T
is believed to be the most sensible
thing to have another election as
speedily as possible. There is an over
whelming sentiment in favor of issu>
ing the paving and waterworks bonds,
as was shown by the election recent
ly held, and it is believed the sup
porters of the movement will again
rally to its support.
1t was purely clerical error which
has led to this situation, as 1t was
the plain intention of council to pro-
vide, and that Of the citizens to vote,
for thirty-year bonds. The original
resolution as it was first drawn up
carried the dates correctly, but the
suggestion was made that the due
dates of principal and interest were
on August first of each year, and
that at that time there would be no
money in the city treasury. Accord
| ingly the date was moved to Decem-
| Der 1st. but the date of issue was IN
advertently left as August 1st, which
ran the period of maturity just four
months over the thirty years, the
constitutional limit.
The Dawson Chamber of Com
merce expects to take the matter up
at its regular meeting Thursday
night, and to urge the cooperation
of all citizens in piling up big ma
jority for the bonds. 1t is simply de-
sired that no excuse shall be given
any one to raise the slightest ques-
ton of the bonds validity, and thus
affect their ready or advantageous
sale in the future.

PURITY WAVE SWEEPING
THE GEORGIA CAPITAL
At Least So Says Report, But Police
Court Figures Tell a Different
Story Altogether.

ATLANTA, Ga.-With a purity
wave sweeping Atlanta, with the
booze faucet turned off, with howl
against speeding automobiles, and po-
lice busy to see that young people
are very circumspect in their conduct
it would appear that there would be
little need of police in the town and
that the recorder could play around
a bit, enjoy golf and leave his clerk
to do his work.
All of which seems to be in error,
Judging from recent yelps for more
police and for higher pay, and from
the records of the police court for
this week.
These records showed that in one
day. morning and afternoon the sum
of more than $1,000 was taken in in
fine. Past records, of days when the
barrooms were running wide open,
when the vice line was not so closely
drawn. and when a little gambling
and a little horse racing was not eX-
actly a mortal sin, show that $1,000
was about the limit for a day.

A WOUNDED SOLDIER
SUES THE UNITED STATES
Institutes Suit for $22, 95O.4O to Re-
cover Policy for $4,000.

Leo L. Convey, of Cherokee, Ia,
who was wounded at ChateauThier-
nv. has filed suit in the federal court
for Judgment against the United
States government for $22, 95O.40 in
collection of his $4,000 war risk in
surance policy and for damages al
legged to have been guaranteed him
at the time of this enlistment if he
was totally disabled.
The case is notable in that it is the
first time in the history of the Unit
ed States that suit has ever been fill
ed against the United States by an
individual. Heretofore such suits have
been prohibited by law, but by virtue
of the war risk insurance act passed
bv congress October 6, 1917, the gov
eminent granted the right to bring
suit in the federal courts providing
no agreement could be reached be-
tween the bureau and the soldier re-
garding claims. Attorneys here state
that to the best of their knowledge
this is the first suit of its kind that
has been commenced under the act.
