Cotton Belt Head
 Charges U. s. Makes
 Road Party Unsafe

Austin, Texas, Sept. 22.-As the result of the charge of President J.. M. Herbert of the Cotton Belt rail road that that road has become un, safe for operation in certain portions because of lack of adequate inspec- tion and repair, Railroad Commis- sioner Earle B. Mayfield will ask the commission to have a survey made of the principal roads of the state, to the end that when the roads are turned back to their owners the Tex as commission will have knowledge of their physical condition.
 President Herbert makes the charge that employees of the Cotton Belt are being killed and maimed because of the condition in which his road has fallen during it's operation by the fed eral railroad administration.
 Commissioner Mayfield also has in- stituted an inquiry into the reports of the railroads showing an increase of more than S14,000,000 in the op- erating expenses of Texas roads dur ing the first six months of the year. He doubts the figures are accurate, but does not reject them pending in- vestigaticn of the various items en- tering into such increase.

 Court Case Weeds
 Dr. COx's Daughter

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 22.-Ture w. Schoultz, physical culture expert and masseur, and Miss Mary Cox, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Ben Cox, were quietly married last Friday, it was learned here yesterday. The cou- pie were married by Rev. E. P. Lind say, pastor of the Aossociate Re- formed Presbyterian church, accord ing to the father of the bride, who returned Saturday from trip to Ar kansas cities. MT. and Mrs. Schoultz are now on wedding trip said, Dr. Cox, who is pastor of the Central Baptist church here.
 Schoultz was in court here recent ly on charge of improper proposals to school girls, but he was believed to be the victim of case of mistaken identity.
 Reference by Dr. Cox in sermon to the injustice done Schoultz pro- voked a breach between the pastor and some of his congregation that prompted Dr. Cox to tender his res igntaion, and accept a call to St. Louis. He later withdrew his resig- nation, explaining that friends had convinced him his. duty was to remain here Dr. Cox formerly was pastor of the First Baptist church at Little Rock, Arkansas.
