FIGHT DIsMANTLING
OF MIDLAND BRIDGES

Leadville, May 23.-The possibility
of keeping intact all trestles, culverts
and bridges along the old Colorado
and Arkansas Junction, in order that
they might be used as bridges and
make possible the construction of a
state highway on the roadbed through
this section, was the chief topic of
discussion at last night IS regular meet
ing of the board of county commission
ers. The Colorado Midland right of
way between Leadville and Arkansas
Junction was not included in the gift
by the railroad to the state of its
main line right of way, and all prop
erty on it has been sold to p B..

County Clerk John Gregory, it was
reported last night, communicated with
the state highway department offices
in Denver, May 10, seeking relief in
connection with the proposed dismant-
ling Of the trestles. The matter has
also been taken up with, the depart
ment by the Leadville Chamber Of
Commerce, but no indication has been
so far received that the trestles can
be retained for road purposes unless
they are purchased by the county.

"ALL OF A SUDDEN PEGGY"

The play, "All Of Sudden Peggy"
was presented at the Orpheum last
Friday and Saturday nights by the
senior class and was very well pat
ronized
The story was built around the Hon.
Jimmy Keppel, played by Frank Me-
chau, and Catherine Paine as Peggy
O'Mara, and from start to finish the
attention of the audience was held by
the east of ten seniors who showed
excellent dramatic ability. s. B. Pot
ter, senior class sponsor, directed the
play, and much credit is given him for
the success of the same.

LOOKOUT TRAIL TO BE REBUILT

One of the main objects of the
Chamber of Commerce this year is to
reconstruct the trail to the top of Look
out mountain. The trail to the top Of
this wonderful sightseeing mountain
has been neglected ever since the
burning of the pavilion several years
ago. The business men believe that
this is step forward in the right di-
rection as we must have trails and side
trips for our visitors while they are
here.

Mrs. Van Winkle
Triu1nphs Again
Report of Women's Bureau
Accepted by Sullivan as
Satisfactory.


The second tempest in the Metro-
poitan Police Departments teacup
fizzled and went out yesterday.
Lieut.. Nina C. Van Wrinkle. head
of the women's bureau. in a report
to Maj. Sullivan. superintendent of
police. said that she had authorized
no statement criticizing the major
and had sought no publicity in re-
leasing Blanche Hermann last Sun
day.
The report was accepted by Mai.
Sullivan as satisfactory Mrs. Van
Wrinkle held that some one with
malicious intent" was attempting
to stir up trouble.
Numerous conferences were held
yesterday in which police officials
considered changes which would
iron out difficulties between the
women's bureau and the detective
bureau. The chief figures in the
conferences were. Capt. James F..
oyster, COMMISSIONER charge of
police; Maj. Sullivan. and Capt. W.
S. Shelby. administrative aid to the
chief of police.
A rumor that the women's bu-
reau was to be placed under the
control of Inspector Clifford L.
Grant. chief of the detective bureau.
was declared very ridiculous by
Commissioner Oyster. That certain
members of the detective bureau
may be shifted to the precincts was
one of the possibilities remaining
last night.

Joffre Wins Warm Ovation
At White House Reception
State Dinner in Compliment to Army, Navy
and Marine Corps One of Seasons Most
Colorful Functions.

Reminiscent OF the days Of the
great war was the state reception
given last evening by President ard
Mrs. Harding 1t the White House
in compliment to the oficers OF the
army. navy and Marine Corps Of the
seasons series Of four state recep-
tions.
The function was opened by the
playing of the Star Spangied Banner
and the Marseillaise as in war time.
while Marshal Joffre, one Of the
wars greatest heroes, was in the
receiving line. and was given a warm
greeting by several thousand admir-
ing Americans just as they did in
1917 when he came over here with
the French war mission. The French
flag and the American flag were both
part OF the decorations.
Marshal Joffre and his wife were
received in the private quarters OF
President and Mrs. Harding along
with the Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge and the members Of the
Cabinet and their wives who were
escorted upstairs by the Presidents
military and naval aides.
Flowers In Abundance.
Marshal and Nine. Joffre arrived
early, the latter wearing a hand
some ermine cape that reached to her
ankles. The stairway leading to the
private quarters was adorned on each
side with baskets OF cut flowers OF
pink and white and of many varieties.
Yellow spring flowers and palms and
ferns formed the decorations in the
big entrance hall where the Marine
Band in their scarlet and gold coats
played a program of music through
out the evening. The east room, the

NAVY PERSONNEL
OF $1,000 ASSURED
BY VOTE in HOUSE
Passes Appropriation Bill
279 to 7S-Senate
Likely to Agree.

The navy will have a personnel
of $4,000 during the next fiscal
year.
This was assured yesterday when
the House passed the naval ap-
preparation bill. amended to provide
for that number. 1t was conceded
the Senate will not lower the House
figure. The vote on the bill was
279 to 7s. Prior to the final vote
a last effort to put through the
$1,000 figure was defeated. 221
to 14s.
The bill as reported out by the
Appropriations Committee appropri-
ated funds for 67.OGO. The increase
to $4,000 constitutes a signal vic
tory for the administration. and
meant defeat for Chairman Madden.
Of the Appropriations Committee;
Representative Kelley. chairman of
the subcommittee which drew the
bill. and House Leader Mondell. who
supported them.
The contention of the administra-
tion was that the reduction to 67.-
900 would prevent this country from
maintaining the feet ratio provided
by the naval reduction treaty, and
would put the country in third
place as a naval power.
Most of the debate on the bill
was on the question of personnel.
There were few alterations In other
respects
The bill carries s233.00o.O00. plus
s17.995. 900 necessary to pay the 49,
900 more men for which provision
was made. The estimates Of the
Navy Department were for s425,-
$4,000. The appropriation for 1922
was s413.239.000. The reduction is
due primarily to the abandonment
of the 1916 naval building program.
and other economies made possible
by the naval limitation treaty.
The bill provides for eighteen
first line battleships and necessary
auxiliary craft 1t appropriates for
1880 men in the Marine Corps.

NEW YORK. April 1s. - The

wherein something startling Is likely

now rather pointedly threatened to
remove his honor from office. This
