LA JUNTA WANTS "LIsH"
HOUSE FOR POLICE CHIEF
Place II rendered Former Holly
Chief While He Is Flu Pa
tient At Hospital.

The exceptional qualifications of
HOlly's former excellent city mar
shal Elisha House.. better known
among his large circle of local tila-
kums as "Lish,' have been discov-
cred by the city solons of La Jun
ta, and few days ago committee
from the La Junta city council
waited on Mr.. House at the Sante
Fe hospital where he has been suf-
fering from an attack of the flu,
and offered him the position of
chief of police of La JLlnta. 1t is
significant in this connection that
Mr. House had made no applica-
ton for the position while appli-
cations of number of other as
pirants for the place had already
been filed with the council.
"Lish' will be kindly remembered
by all Holly folks as having served
the town well as peace officer for
some 10 or IL years, up until
about two years~ag0 when he gave
up the place to accept situation
as special agent for the Santa Fe
railroad company at more attrac-
tive salary.
Marshal House was on the force
here in the old days when John
Barleycorn, and his various cous-
ms, furnished semi-Occasional "in-
spiration" and red-eyed "enthusi-
asm" which needed the attention of
the law at times, but "Lish" was al
ways equal to the occasion. In
spite of the fact that Marshal
House was, on few memorable
occasions here in Holly the target
for the poorly generated arsenals
of would-be bad men, "Lish" al
ways got his man, and without
shooting him.
His friends here are unanimous
in saying that Mr.. House will make
an ideal chief of police for La Junta,
should he accept the appointment.

]. s. OFFICERS TRY
 ID GET WILHELM
LONDON PAPER TELLS OF RE- MARKABLE ATTEMPT MADE
 BY 10 ARMY MEN.
SAYS EX-KAISER IS WILLING
Wanted Written Guarantee That He Would Be Given Safe Conduct To American Headquarters In
 France.

London. - The Daily Express pub, dishes a remarkable story of how 10 American officers in two automobiles attempted and almost succeeded in Kidnapping William Hohenzollern, tile former German emperor, from his re- treat at Amerongen, Holland.
 One of the most remarkable feat ures of the story is that the ex-kaiser sent word that he was willing to go with the Americans if shown a safe conduct to the American headquarters and if given a written guarantee that he would not be shot en route.
 The author of the story says that he obtained it from two of the American officers just before he left Paris for London and he says that later he verified the story from another source.
 According to the story, the kidnap- ing was planned at New Year din- ner on the night of January 4, at tended by young American officers, all below the grade of captain. The town occupied by the Americans. It is said that the plan was started by "a young lieutenant from a Southern state who arose and declared:
 There's only one thing wrong with this mans army. It nasn't got the kaiser"
 A little man, who made a reputa- fion ac Q fiotor in tho Aroonna forasf immediately suggested that those present go and bring the kaiser.
 "Just to show tha. we've cleaned up the last bit of war garbage" he added.
 Inside an hour, 10 of the officers present had volunteered to go on this wild mission, which it was declared would be 'sthe greatest stunt since Noah built the ark"

NEW, PHONE RATES
 BECOME EFFECTIVE
TOLL AND LONG DISTANCE CALLS TO BE CHARGED ON A BASIS
 OF AIR MILEAGE.

Washington. = New toll and long distance telephone rates approved by Postmaster General Burlesen have be- come effective, except in those states where temporary restraining orders against the companies have been is- sued by the courts. This announce ment was made by w H. Lamar, soli- tor of the Postofflce Department and a member of the federal wire control committee.
 Under the new rates as announced by MT. Burleson there will be basic charge of six and one-quarter mills a mile, airline mileage, with half the day rate for night service up to mid night and one-fourth of the day rate between that hour and 430 o'clock in the morning.
 The new charges were recommend ed in the first report of the commit tee on rate standardization and Mir Burleson said their effect would be to equalize the toll and long distance charges over the country. In many instances rates in certain localities will be increased and this fact led to efforts of some state regulatory bodies to prevent the new schedule from being put into effect. Generally, however, there will be reduction in rates, accorG5ng to the postmaster general.

ONE MORE LOAN
 SAYS SECRETARY
VICTORY BOND DRIVE PROBA BLY WILL BE LAST THREE
 WEEKS IN APRIL.

Washington. - Only one more big war drive Is planned by the Treas ury Department, Secretary Glass said here. This will be the victory loan, to be foated probably the last three weeks in April. The amount will not be more than S6,000, ,OO0, 900 and may be $5,000,000. .000.
 T expect the victory liberty loan to be the last intensive campaign for the sale of government bonds," said MT. Glass. Reports that there would be two more issues this year. aggregatipg $12,000,O00, ,000, are en- tirely without foundation not only as to amount, but also as regards the number of campaigns"
 More bonds probably will be is- sued by the government even after the next campaign, but it is planned to market these quietly through banks and other financial institu- tions, without the usual campaign of advertising and soliciting. The amount of securities to be sold in this manner will not be determined for months, until the treasury gets a more definite idea of the volume of expenses growing out of liquidat- ing of war contracts, the allies needs for future loans and the de- mands arising from continuing the policy of making loans to railroads, financing the next wheat crop, con tinuing shipbuilding and other inter- nal obligations.

HEAVY PENALTIES PROPOSED FOR THOSE HAVING LIQUOR
 IN THEIR POSSESSION.
A MAXIMUM FINE OF S1,OOO
Prison Sentence Also Provided-No Opposition To BiIl-Expected To Pass House With Little Trou-
 ble in Near Future.

Senator Greenhouses new bone dry law, which, it was brought out by Sen ator Caldwell of Pine Bluff, would sub ject a person with a mere half pint" in his home to fine of from S100 to $l.000, to say nothing of 30 days so- journ in county bastiles, passed the Senate without effort.
 In fact, Senator Caldwell, the only member who called attention to the drastic provision, resignedly declared that it perhaps was the onYy way to reach those at whom the bill was aim ed, and that enforcement of the meas ure at that was very doubtful, voted for the measure. The bill received 28 affirmative votes, while no negative ballots were cast. It was sent to the House immediately, and, it is said, probably will pass the house with very little if any opposition.
 Senator Greenhouse, who. with Sen ator Ponder, introduced the bill, was not in the Senate chamber, being con fined to his room by illness. The bill needed no special champion, however, for, as several senators declared, the opposition to prohibition laws shas just naturally given up in despair"
 The proposed law would not prohib- it the bringing of alcohol into the state for medicinal, mechanical, or sacramental purposes.
