1.-THE need as revealed in the lat

ceed all previous calculations made
for the relief of this crisis" the
appeal said. 1.-THE response to date
had been altogether inadequate.

States will grasp the magnitude and
pathos of a situation involving the

OP INIONS VARY
As To PROPOSED
TRAFFIC MERGER
Arguments for and Against
the S. P. Retaining Con-
troll of the C. P. Are Made
at |. c. C. Hearing

Washington, Nov. 27.-Railroad
commissions representing two
western states-California and Ne
yada--asked the Interstate Com
merce commission today to contin-
ue the merger of the Southern Pa
cific and Central Pacific railroads,
which the supreme court has or
dered dissolved, while commissions
of two other states-WyOming and
Idaho urged approval Of the sep
aration.
A group of California business
men, also appearing in the hear
ing which the federal commission
is conducting on the Southern Pa
cific's application for retention ~
the Central system, came forward
to argue for the merger as essen
tial to commercial and civil inter-
est along the Pacific coast.
r. e. Sachs, chief engineer of
the California commission, had
barely begun the statement for
the state when the days session
adjourned, but J. +. Shaughnessy,
member of the Nevada commission
had previously set out at length
the reasons for his stand. The uni

TEN, he said, was one of the larg-

would mean diversion of traffic

NAVY SECRE ETARY
HANDS MIDDIES
SEVERE REBUKE
Are Held Up to Public Scorn
as the Result Of Their
Conduct at a Football
Game and a Dance

Washington, Nov. 27.--Midship-
men from the naval academy who
celebrated over indulgently for the
annual Army-Navy football game
Saturday were held up to public
scorn today by Secretary DENLY
in one of the most singing re-
Dukes ever given by the secretary
OF navy.
Members Of the corps, Dr. DENLY
declared in a public statement, not
only disgraced themselves and the
navy, but by their conduct at
ball which followed the game in
Philadelphia, brought such shame
upon academy itself as it never
had known before.
The secretary said he did not
know how mauS of the midship-
men drank heavily and was
concerned that the great majority
conducted themselves with prop
riety. But, he added. that enough
of them had failed in their duty,
to bring snume upon all"
He announced that an investi-
cation will be begun at once, and
that steps would be taken to in
sure that such an occurrence will
never be repeated"
Guilty Not Named
None Of the guilty were named
in the secretary's Indictment, nor
did it appear certain that the de-
partment would find It possible to
single out any individual midship-
men for punishment. II was in
dicated that the inquiry probably
would take the direction OF a gen.
eral effort to establish what the
conditions were that made the in
cident possible, and that any dis
ciplinary action probably would
fan upon the entire Annapolis es-
tablishment in such q way as to
keep the corps hereafter within
more stringent limitations.
Both Secretary DENLY and Sec
retary Weeks OF the war depart
ment, together with many of the
highest officers of the army and
navy. attended the game in Phila-
delphia, but it was said today that
the war department had no infor-
nation that any Of the cadets from
West Point conducted themselves
improperly The cadets did not re-
main for the evenings festivities,
Secretary DENLY said in response
to inquiries that he would not
bring up at the cabinet meeting to-
morrow the question Of the rela-

Skinner Killed IN
RAID IN ADAIR

Perhaps the first killing of a
n1oonshiner this year is reported
from Adair county where the
sheriff and deputies were fired on
while Selling a still. They repli-
ed and a fusilade of shots result
ed. one man being killed. The
Adair County News says of the
affair in its current issue:
Last Thursday morning, Sheriff
George Coffey, Deputy Sheriff S.
F. Coffey. and Frank Winfrey,
and Deputy Jailer Elmer Miller,
left here for the Pickett Chapel
neighborhood. having been mott
fed that a still was in operation
in that locality.
When they reached the place
where the still was supposed to
be located, they dismounted and
hitcl1ed their horses, and COM
menced careful survey of the
premises. In a short time they
discovered the still and three men
standing about it, and one man
was off by himself, ON hill. He
was believed to be the lookout.
The officers said to the three men.
"boys, we have you covered. give
I'D and YOU shall not be hurt"
lust at that time shot came. it
is believed from the man on the
hill, and another shot from a diff
ferent direction. The officers be-
lieving that they were in immin-
ent danger, opened fire and per-
haps twenty-five shots were fired.
When the smoke had cleared up,
it was discovered that one man.
said to be named Van Arsdale. a
son-in-law of Crit Pickett. was
found dead, Teddy Morrison shot
in the leg and it is supposed that
it was broken. and it is also re-
ported that a boy named Pickett
was shot and badly wounded. At
ter cutting the still~and worm to
pieces, and emptying 900 gallons
of beer. the officers started on
their return to Columbia, and up
on reaching here surrendered to
County Judge c. G. Jeffries.

Magma Charter Object of
Great Interest To Tourist.
(By Associated Press

London, April S-After zoe
years, Magma Charter remains
the most popular British manu-
script. Last year $4,000 persons
went to the British Museum to
see it. Americans invariably ask
to view the famous charter which
insures Englishmen their rights,
according to the museum custo-
dams, but other foreigners take
more interest in the Papal Bull,
which is displayed next to it.
Heavy green blinds are kept
over the precious parchment to
exclude the full light rays and
thus prevent deterioration but
are lifted to show the charter to
admiring pilgrims.
Most persons are disappointed
at not seeing King Johns sigma
ture, according to an official at
the museum. but they seem salts
fed when they read the script
that it was given by our hand in
the meadow.which is called Roni-
mede between Windlesor and
Stanes, on the 18th day of June,
in the 18th year of our reign
(1215).

German War Leaders.

The death of Gen. Erich Won Falkenhayn,
former chief of staff of the German army, calls
to mind the fact that the four years since the
war closed have taken off a number of the
German military leaders. General Won Falk-
enhayn was one of Germany's most dashing
commanders, and although he was denoted to
a subordinate command during the latter part
of the war, on account of his disagreement
with the kaiser he still held high place in
his country's aristocratic regard General
Won Emmich. conqueror of Liege. and the
German military hero of the early days of the
war. is dead. General Van Kluck, who led the
German armies in their first great drive
Paris, has passed away One of the kaisers
SONS committed suicide and several military
leaders of lesser note have died in Germany
since the close Of the war.
Fate has been kind to the commanders of
the allied armies. The great men of the war
this side yet living -Foch, Joffre, Haig,
Pershing. all remain in honor of their respec-
tive countries and still active in their several
spheres 1t may be that something of poetic
justice is to be seen in this contrast although
the commanders of the forces on both sides all
thought they were doing their whole duty in
seeking to bring victory for their own colers.
