NENA STARTS LATE
 IN IN RIG EN(G'EIl|ERREp ENTERPRISE RR|!S,|
Sends Delegation to Fayetteville Seek ing to Land Methodist Assembly of Six States-Other Towns Who
 Are Trying.

The biggest single thing that is soon to be landed by some city or town in the Ozarks mountain country is the Assembly headquarters of the M. k. Church, South, for the district com prising the states of Arkansas, Mis- souri, Oklahoma, Texas Louisiana and New Mexico.
 This Assembly is similar to that long established by the Presbyterians at Winona Lake, Ind, and by the Methodists near Asheville, N c. At these places leaders and adherents of the churches, together with all others who care to attend, assemble each year from June to September, there to study and organize their work, as well as to take recreation and rest.
 Such an assembly place soon will be chosen in the Ozarks by the NJ. E.. Church, South, as above stated. The district will represent at least 500,- 900 Methodists, and it is expected that from 2,000 to 5000 persons will attend the assembly during each sea- son. It is possible that the selection will be made by the committee at meeting at Fayetteville Thursday morning, but those interested in Mena hope it may be postponed, and that Mena will have a chance 60 enter the race for the place. Secretary Smith of the Commercial Club and Dr. B. Fl. Hawkins have been chosen to at- tend the meeting and present Mena's claims.
 This big enterprise was brought to the attention of the Commercial Club Tuesday afternoon by Dean R. E. Smith of Centenary College, Shreve- port, La, the Rev. Eugene w. Potter, pastor of the First M. E. church, South, Waxahachie, Tex, and the Rev. J. D. Hammonds, pastor of First M. E. church, Texarkana, Ark, all sum- mer visitors to Niena
 These eminent Methodist leaders are strong in the belief that in cli- mate. health, water and geographic location Mena is particularly we'll equipped to secure the assembly.

Administration Railroad Funding Bill Passed House by Vote 214 to 123-Senate to Act After
 Its Recess.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The admin istration's railroad funding bill was passed tonight by the House, the measure now going to the Senate.
 The vote was PA t5 l23. 1t is not the present intention of the Senate to take up the bill before the recess.
 An unsuccessful effort was made to eliminate a section which provides that no payments shall be made by the govcl .4lent to any carriers Ion account of the so-called ineficiency of iabor,' during federal control An amendment to strike out this provi- sion, offered by Representative Web ster, Washington, a Republican mem Der of the commerce committee, which had favorable reported the bill, was rejected l45 to IT.
 Another provision of the section which Mir. Webster failed to have stricken out stipulated that no funds shall be used in making settlements with carriers which do not forever bar such from setting up claims, right or demands of any kind or character against the United States growing out of or connected with the possession use or operation of such carriers property by the United States during the period of federal control"
 Proponents of the measure suc- amend the bill in important particu- lars, and, as pcs he measure ex- cept for few msar changes, was in the form in which it was reported to the House.
 During four hours of general de- bate, three members of the commerce committee besides Mir Webster. Rep Rayburn, Texas; Johnson, Mississippi and Huddleston, Alabama, all Democrats, expressed opposition to the bill. Mr. Rayburn. however, urged retention of the section w..ica Mir. Webster opposed
 Contending the government was bound by previous legislation to rec ognize claims growing out of "labor
 inefficiency.". Mir Webster said, pas sage of the bill without elimination of the clause to which he objected would he "a mcnstrous repudiation of solemn contract"
 Attacking the bill, Mr. Ravburn de- clared the railroads were the "pam- pered pet of the government"
 "As long as Congress continues to r'ake advances to. them they will ask more money" he said, adding:
 'Whv don't they do something for themselves?
 Representative Mondell. Republi- can leader, asserted enactment of the bill would do more than anything else ito hasten the day when transporta- ton rates can be reduced"

Army and Navy Chief Make Report on Recent Bombing Tests Imperative That Aviation
 Be Developed.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Results of bombing tests held off the Virginia Capes from June 21 to July 21 failed to displace the battleship from its pre-eminent position as the nations chief defense at sea. This was the conclusion of the joint board of the army and navy, made public today by General Pershing, the senior member, and approved by Secretary Weeks and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt.
 The tests. which resulted in the sinking of four ex-German warships by aerial bombs prove. however, the board said, "that it has become inn perative as a matter of national de- fense to provide for the maximum possible development of aviation in both army and navy" The tests proved also the necessity for air craft carriers of maximum size and speed as an effective adjunct of the feet and for the development of ef- fective anti-aircraft armament. In- stead of furnishing an economical in- strument of war leading to the aboli- tion of the battleship, the development of aircraft has added to the complexity of naval warfare" the report reads.
 The tests, which were conducted by the navy with the cooperation of the army air service, were reported upon separately by army and naval boards of observers. and these reports form ed the basis of the statement issued today. The joint board included Ad- miral R. F.. Koontz, chief of naval operations; Major General W. G. Haan, assistant to the chief of staff; i; Rear Admiral C. s. Williams, naval operations; Brig. Gen. Henry Jersey, General Staff, and Captain W. C. Cole, navel operations.
 The board found that military air. craft when used beyond the radius of action of shore bases possessed limit ed assistance to gunners in the con- trol of fire; limited assistance to the service of information and security and important strategical and tactical qualities in operations of coast de- fensc," but might prove a decisive factor in coastal operations if used in adequate numbers.

.BORAH WARS ON
 SHIPPING BOARD
Demands That Congress Get Names of Those Guilty of Crookedness NJ and Then Have Them
 Punished.

Washington, Aug. 19.-7Demand that Congress get the names of men who have been guilty of crookedness in the affairs of the shipping board was made in the Senate today by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, during consideration of deficiency biii carrying $48,500,000 to enable the board to carry on it's activities.
 Senator Borah said if officials had failed to keep a record of funds re- esived and paid out and had given no reason for expenditures and losses it could not be passed over as mere incompetency, but was sheer crook edness."
 Declaring that the effort to get at the bottom of shipping board manage ment was not partisan, Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, insisted if crooks should be found they would prove to be Democrats and Republic ans alike, an opinion in which Senator Borah agreed.
 Throughout the debate on the bill Chairman Lasker was both criticized and defended. Senators New, Repub- lican, of Indiana, and Williams, Dem Jcrat, of Mississippi, said the sooner the government gets rid of the whole shipping board outfit the better it would be for the country. Senator New, characterizing it as "misera- ble mess" and "stupendous wreck" defended the chairman, whom he said was one of the ablest business men in the United States, and that he would fully sustain his reputation if given time to get some semblance of order out of the disorganized estab- lishment
 Costing Huge Sums.
 Senator Williams contended that any man who had been on a job two months and who could not tell Con- gress how 1t stood, ought to be dis charged. Repeating statement he said he'd been made to him in London wear ago or more, by Admiral Sims, to the effect that the government should not attempt to develop its mer- chant marine. Senator Glass said he had not at the time agreed with 1t. "But ! am fast beginning 10 believe the argument WIS right" he said. 'For if we are to follow the methods of the shipping board much longer t will bankrupt the government"
