INCREASE AT UNION PACIFIC.
November Receipts Are $4,000 Greater
Than Last Ye1I.

An Increase in the passenger re-
ceipts at the local station of the Union
Pacific of more than $4,000 over the
receipts of November. 1919, has been
reported for November, 1920. The
business done at the Union Pacific sta
ton is more or less local in character,
and the increase does not take into
account the "interline" business under
which the tourist traffic to California
is included.
Two factors combine to keep the in
creases on the Union Pacific from
reaching those which have been re-
ported by the Rock Island and the
Santa Fe-the local nature of me
business, and the fact that there has
not been grapted an increase in the
intrastate passenger rates in the state
of Kansas.
An increase over the business done
in October is also noted.

PRESIDENT DECIDES NOT TO SUMMER AT
 WOODS HOLE. MASS.
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, April 12-(By the Associated Press) = President Wilson will not establish the summer White House at Woods Hole, Mass, as had been expected, but probably will select some other place where more accom- modations are available for the large staff of secretaries and attaches.
 It became known today that the an- nouncement that the president had se- lected the estate of Charles R. Crane, home, was premature. The president had accepted MT Cranes offer of a lease, but it had not been inspected by the secret service operatives and White House attaches
 When White House advance agents inspected the grounds. it is said, they concluded that the Crane estate was not large enough and the accommoda- tions to be found in the village were
 insufficient for the force from the ex- ecutive offices which would have to be moved to Woods Hole.
 It also developed that the Crane man. sion is close to railway track. that there are several automatic fog signals in Long Island sound close to shore and that the layout of the Crane grounds in relation to the public streets and sidewalks of Woods Hole were such that the secret service men advanced what they termed practical obstacles to their regular plans for guarding the president.
 When these considerations were laid before the president. it was said today, he reluctantly abandoned his plan to go to Woods Hole. It has not been de- cided where the president will go in view Of the changed plan, but several offers are before him.
 The president did not go motoring today. but spent his time on the White House portico on the south lawn and in his study. His drive about the capital Sunday served to quiet rumors that he bad suffered a setback. Rear Admiral Grayson reiterated that the president was in better condition than at any time since his return from his speaking trip last octobe,.

NEVADA LAWYER
 TESTIFIES FOR
 SAGE'S DEFENSE
PRESCOTr

PRESCOTT, Ariz., April 12.-Ben- jamin Hensley, lawyer of Reno, Ne vada, a witness today in the trial of Clarence Sage. former special officer for @ mining company at Jerome, Ariz.. charged with criminal assault testified that the complaining witness, Mrs. Florence Schendel. had made 'un- founded accusations" against his brother similar to the one against Sage. Mrs. Schendel had charged Sage and several Jerome police of ficers with responsibility for the at tack which she said was made on her in Sage's apartment in Jerome.
 Unexpectedly to the prosecution, the defense closed it's case without putting Sage on the stand. The defense intro duced F. l.. Mcleod, town engineer of Jerome. who testified that a rise in the main street would have ob- scured a scene between the police and defendants and Mrs. Schendel as tes- tified to by states witnesses. Mcleod submitted a map and profile Of the street. Counsel for the state imme- diately offered a photograph said to have been taken at the place where the states witnesses stood and pur- porting to reveal the scene of the meet ing of the defendants about 100 yards away. The trial tomorrow enters upon it's eighth day with a promise that arguments may be concluded by night

FREIGHT SERVICE IN NEW YORK PARALYzED; SITUATION MENAC|NG
rRepublican A. p. Leased wireI

NEW YORK, April 12-Union labor's cooperation in an effort to break the unauthorized strike of railroad workers here was pledged tonight by represen- tatiyes of the four brotherhoodS in conference with representatives of the eastern roads A statement given out after the meeting characterized the strike as mob movement" and asserted it was bound to break
 John c. Walber. secretary of the bu- reau of information of eastern rail- roads said it was the "concensus of opinion Of the brotherhood leaders that the strike would burn itself out.''
 The strike of railroad workers here tonight presented the most menacing situation the city has faced since the unauthorized walkout began. Freight service virtually was para1yzeSs and passenger service, already curtailed, was further crippled.
 Today United States troops went into Jersey City to unload stranded mail trains and department of justice agents extended their Investigations all over the New York area.
 Appeals by railroads for volunteer workmen and the campaigns of the strikers to recruit their ranks from men still loyal had become more in- sistent.
 The situation tonight was: Only freight shipments received today were U brought from Chicago by the New York Central and few cars which crept in over the Few Haven and Pennsylvania roads.
 Mail train schedules were generally disrupted and motor trucks were used.
 Hundreds of thousands of commut- CTS living in New Jersey were unable to reach their places of business in New York.
 Strike smpathizers committd their first act of violence when an iron bar was hurled through the window of Central railroad of New Jersey train injuring a passenger. Train crews of four mail trains of the Erie were attacked at Port Jarvis. N. T., and railroad officials announced Port Jarvis was controlled by strikers.
 Mayor Hague of Jersey City, who had expressed sympathy for the strik- ers appealed to them to arbitrate- A strikers refused to urge strikers to return, he announced.
 Warning was issued by Lindley
 M. Garrison, federal receiver of
 the Brooklyn Rapid Transit com
 pany, that agitators were urging
 employees of Rapid Transit lines in
 New York to strike.
 Railroad officials sought in vain to learn the source of maintenance of the strikers.
 The department of justice began an inventory of foods stores and big warehouses. searching for hoarders. Meat dealers announced an increase of a cent pound in wholesale prices.
 c. P. Wallace, president of the
 Fruit and Produce Exchange Com
 mission Merchants and Market
 men. said pershable food was gradually being exhausted and the q situation was becoming grave.

STATE MAY TAKE
 UP PROJECTS IF
 U. s. WAITS, SAYS

DOUGLAS. April 12.-Unless the United States government shows more interest in retaining the arid lands of Arizona, the state itself will take steps to build the projects, Governor Thomas F.. Campbell said here tonight. Under the constitution the state only can is sue bonds to the amount of s150,000, but the governor said he already has under consideration plans for remov- ing the lirpitation-
 "If Arizona were in a position to issue the necessary bonds" the gover nor said, we could within short time begin work on the great San Carlos project, which the federal government has neglected for so many years, for the credit of this state is good and the bonds easily could be sold at a prem ium. There are many other projects which should be carried to completion and the state will have to take them up unless the congress assumes a diff ferent attitude toward the needs of the west"
 The governor left here tonight for Bisbee. from which place he will leave for Tucson tomorrow morning.

ARMY CAMP BUILDING SYSTEM ATT PACKED AND
 DEFENDED IN REPORTS

WASHINGTON. April 12-After re- publican leaders had denounced and democrats had upheld the government system of building army camps during the war, the house prepared today for fight tomorrow on two proposals to deal with persons alleged to have reaped rich profits from alleged eX- travagance and waste.
 Along with the Investigating com mitteeS report attacking methods of construction, the republican majority presented a resolution directing that evidence obtained during the nine months investigations be turned over to the attorney general with the re- quest that he institute criminal and civil proceedings.
 The democrats countered with a sub- stitute resolution proposing to instruct the committee to name persons firms and corporations which should be investigated'' before directing the at torney general to proceed
 When the house quit tonight debate had not ended. The principal speeches were made by Representative Doremus, democrat of Michigan, author of the minority statement, and Representative Mccullough, republican, of Ohio, sign ing the majority statement.
 Representative Mccullough de clared the cry we won the war had been made to cover many sins, while Representative Doremus asserted that If the supreme architect of the uni- verse had built those camps the bleacher managers would have found fault with the job.'
 To the republican claim that the gov ernment lost $7S,531,52 on 16 national army cantonments through waste and was entitled to recover damages. the democratic member said if his compu- tation was correct he figured he had squeezed sS5,Oo0,O00 water out of ''pre- tended claims to recovery"
 MT. Mccullough said it was not within the province nor the duty of the committee to prosecute crime or in dict criminals.
 The report of the majority contains facts and evidence,' he declared, and the record of the testimony taken in connection with the construction of Camp sherman at Chillicothe, O. and Camp Grant at Rockford, ILL. contains evidence on which the department of justice should immediately predicate grand jury inyesUgations.''
 No attempt was made to save public money he said, adding:
 s'You are paying. your children and your children's children for generations to come will pay and continue to pay, for the cost-p1us system. Let us hope that never again will such a reprehens- ible system be put into operation"
 Representative Doremus said that the stress of war justified abandoning peace time methods of construction" Indeed" he declared, If Secretary Baker had attempted to build the camps by the competitive system, he would have been guilty of the grossest incompetence and merited removal from office''
 After nine months investigation. with access to all records. he said the ma foritv of the committee was 'un- willing to make a specific recommends ton or a specific allegation of fraud against any person, firm or corpora tion'
