ONLYAFEW DETAILSOF ISSUE

AND CONFERENCE CAN THEN QUIT
NEW BILL PRESCRIBES
RAILROAD MILEAGE BOOKS
(BY W. P. KennedY.l

Washington d. c., Jan. Ex-senator
Park Trammell yesterday in the SEN
ate offered an amendment to the pend
ing bill requiring the railroads to is
sue mileage books of five thousand
miles. Senator Trammells amend
ment proposed that mileage books of
one thousand miles should be issued
and that the proposed law should not
be limited to books of five thousand
miles. Senator Trammell in address,
ing the senate said that he heartily
approved of the measure requiring
that mileage books should be sold at
two and one-half cents per mile but
in order that the privilege would
reach persons of more moderate
means and who did not require so
much mileage as five thousand miles,
smaller mileage books should be re-
quired. Senator Trammell in his
speech also condemned the present
high rates for passenger transporta-
tion and Pullman fares. He urged that
lower rates would encourage travel
and thereby benefit not only the pub
lie but add to the revenue of the rail-
roads.

|. c. c. JUSTIFIES RATE
INCREASE ON GRAINS

Washington, Jan. 24.-Railroad pro-
posals to increase rates on grain and
grain products moving from Arkan-
sas. Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana
via Memphis to Carolina territory
were found justified today by the in
terstate commerce commission. t
An order of suspension issued
against the new schedules on October
l was vacated and the proposed rates
will be allowed to go into effect Jan.
uary %.
The average rate from Memphis
was increased by the schedule from
41.5 cents per 100 pounds to AIS
cents, though the new schedules also
contained alterations in rates on grain
from Ohio and Missouri river points
to the Carolinas which constituted re-
ductions. The commission in its de-
cision said that considering the whole
schedule the reductions given Caro-
lima territory were more important
than the increases.

the opportunity of helping the mer
chants OF Lakeland develop plans for
bigger business in 1922. 1t has been
my observation that the past year has
not rewarded people just because they
fought for business. The man who
was rewarded had we'll laid plans
back of every effort. 1922 should be
a better business year. AS much de-
pends on the plans that are laid for
securing business and the manage
ment of business as upon the work
itself. Two things should be upper
most in the mind OF all business men.
81. Having the right information
upon which to build plans.
80 Taking your own organization
whether it be large or small into your
confidence and getting the best that
is in them.

ARBUCKLE TESTIMONY
IN FORMER TRIAL READ

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 24.-Read-
ing of transcript of the testimony of
Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle at his
first manslaughter trial resulting from
the death of Miss Virginia Rape was
the first thing on the program when
the prosecution resumed today it's
presentation of evidence at the sec
ond trial.
The state started reading Arbuckle's s
previous testimony to the jury late
yesterday and had not concluded
when court adjourned. The proceed
ing was occasioned by the testimony
Of Warden Woolard, a Los Angeles
newspaper man who repeated a pur-
ported interview with Arbuckle fol-
lowing the San Francisco party that
eliminated in Miss Rappe's death.
The state is trying to show contra
diction between the two versions of
the affair.

METROPOLITAN LIFE INTERESTED HERE
This BIG new YORK INSURANCE
COMPANY WILL MAKE EXTENSIVE
REAL ESTATE LOANS IN THE CITY
SHORT HAIR In RUSSIA
RESULT OF TYPHUS PLAGUE

Moscow, Jan. 24.-Russia has be-
come a nation of short-haired women.
This to the newcomer is supposed to
be symptom of communist leanings,
in a country where the men formerly
advertised their faith in the Soviet
brand of politics by wearing long hair,
heavy boards, leather coats, and top
boots. AS a matter of fact the ma
jority of short-haired women are not
communists at all. They earned their
short hair by surviving the typhus.
Typhus is as common in Russia as
mumps In the United States. Those
who contract it, men or women, have
their heads shaved, and the women
who survive wear short hair because
they have no other, and their own will
not grow back for years, if ever.

Central State Bank Has
Been Appointed Fiscal
Agents and Will Have
Charge of the Invest
ment of Large Amount
of Cash for the Erection
of New Residences and
Homes

The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company of New York City has decid :
ed that Lakeland is now of sufficient
size and Importance to warrant the
investment of a portion of their sur
plus funds in Lakeland real estate.
Following recent visit to New
York by President A. F. Pickard, of
the Central State Bank, when he in
terviewed the officers of this COM
pany, comes a telegram to the Cen
trail State from the Adair Realty ami
Trust Company of Atlanta, who han
die southern loans for the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance, to the effect that
tEe Central State has been appointed
official agents for Lakeland.
This announcement follows closely
on another made in the Sunday Tampa
Tribune that the Citizens American
Bank of Tampa was named as Tampa
agent for the Metropolitan.
When interviewed by the Evening
Telegram, President Pickard and Vice
President Charles |. Dwiggins inti-
mated that this very important bank
ing connection would mean the plac-
ing of Il large amount of additional
money in Lakeland real estate 1t
may mean as much as Il million dol
lars within the next two or three
years. Definite plans will be an
nounced Immediately for the terms
and arrangements by which this
money will be available for those who
desire to erect their own homes in
this city.
No announcement OF more impor-
tance to Lakeland has been made in
recent years. The coming of the Me-
tropolitan Life money is a recogni-
tion of Lakeland's real Importance as
q growing community and in addition
will make available funds that will
provide for a future growth and ex-
pansion that will far exceed the rec
ord of the years that are gone.

U.S.. CARDINALS
MAY BELATE IN
PAPAL ELECTION

Rome, Jan. 24.-(By the Associated
Press.)-While thousands streamed
past the bier of Benedict XIV. in the
basilia today to pay reverence to the
dead Pope, cardinals of the church
were on their way from many foreign
countries to participate in the election
Of new pope.
The brief interval before the con-
vening of the conclave, which has
been set for Feb. 2, will, however,
prevent some of them-notably Car
dinal Dougherty of Philadelphia, and
the Canadian and Brazilian cardinals
from arriving in time to vote, un-
less the election is unduly prolonged.
Cardinal O'Connell of Boston has ca
bfed that he is taking passage today.
and has possible chance to enter the
election providing the new pope is not
chosen on the first ballot.
There is no outstanding figure
among the candidates for the high
post, but Cardinal Maffi, archbishop
Of Pisa, is prominently mentioned as
the governments choice. Others be-
ing discussed are Cardinal LaFon-
taine of Venice and Cardinal Ratti of
Milan.
The interment of Benedict has been
fixed tentatively for tomorrow, the
usual period of lying in state being
curtailed because of the prelate's wish
that his body be not embalmed.
Closer Union Hoped For
Rome, Jan. 24.-The reception at
the Vatican of the government
cabinet minister last Saturday and
the halfmasting of the flag on the
quirinal in mourning for the Pope are
commented upon at length by both
the press and public. There are many
expressions favoring an agreement
between government and the Vatican
and these two events are being point
ed to as significant of such a possi-
bility.
Sincere to Be Secretary
Washington, Jan. 24.-(By the AS
sociated Press .)-Monsigno Luigi
Sincere, one of the most important
prelates in the papal curia, as a re-
suit of the changes incident to the
death of Pope Benedict, 1t was said
here today, will automatically become
secretary of the conclave, position
second only to that of membership
in the Sacred College.
AS first canon and professor in the
seminary at Vercell In Piedmont.
Monsignor Sincere some years ago
was called to Rome as auditor of the
holy sacred tribunal of the Rota, the
court which among other things is en-
titled to grant annullment Of mar
riages between Catholics. He also
collaborated with Cardinal Gasparr
in his codification of the canon law
and is now secretary of the Sacred
College.
