Basketball

The local team found their stride
in basketball for the first time since
we met the Props in the first game
of the season and defeated Cheyenne
rs to 18. All Of the fans report hat
it was an interesting game to watch.
Now that our hard luck streak is
broken we are hoping to stage some
zeal basketball for the remainder of
the games of the season. Rawlins
had the lead throughout the game,
but Cheyenne was never far enough
behind to put the home team u of
danger. 1t was quite a change from
the record of the past several weeks
for Rawlins to get the breaks OF the
game, but they were coming our IA
last Thursday night. We do not
mean to say that the boys won on
the breaks Of the game alone for the
team was playing a real brand of
basketball. showing a very decided
Improvement over the past games.
The Cheyenne boys were unable to
locate the basket at severed conven-
len. opportunities and thereby in
crease the lead hat Rawlins was
holding over them.
The Cheyenne team played as clean
a brand of ball as we have seer this
year, and we congratulate them on
their craftsmanship. They came and
played a clean and hard fought
game; though they were defeated
they accepted in the right spirit. The
Sophomore girls served a lunch Of
sandwiches, fruit salad, ice cream
cake and coffee to the members and
coaches OF both teams immediately
after the game. The Senior and
Junior boys also entertained with a
social dance after the game. Through
out the evening the relations between
the two teams was the most cordial.
. Basketball is serving a very useful
function when it promotes that type
of spirit between two schools.
Rawlins will have the opportunity
to witness two games this week, both
of which will be Of major caliber.

CASE OF MAJ. LEE COART
READY FOR THE JURY

Talbotton, Ga, March 15.-The case
of Major Lee II. Coart, charged with
the murder of A. B. McNiece, was eX-
pected to 90 to the jury here late to-
day with the conclusion Of the argu-
ments and Judge Munroe's charge.
Arguments were started late yes
terday and one attorney for each side
expressed his views of the shooting
last fall of the County School Super
intendent. Maj. Coart served in the
Spanish war and only left the army
after the world war armistice. He told
the jury yesterday that he killed Nc
Niece in an alteration that rose when
he went to the latters Office to de-
mand that McNiece cease his atten-
tions to Mrs. Coart. McNiece defied
him to stop the relations between
them, Coart said and advanced on
him with something in his hand, and
he fired.
The story was exactly the reverse
given in McNiece's statement before
he died and that told by Mrs. McNiece
on the stand. McNiece denied he ever
had improper relations with Mrs.
Coart and said the Major shot him
without provocation and Mrs. McNiece
charged Coart with endeavoring to
force his attention on her.

MOVE MADE TO
CONSOLIDATE
MAJOR SYSTEMS

Washington, March 15.-The inter-
state commerce commission moved to-
day to take up the plan, authorized in
the transportation act, for bringing
about the consolidation of the princi-
pal American railroads into nineteen
major systems. A hearing was or
dered for April "a, before Commits
sioner Hail. at which consideration
will begin of the construction pro-
posed for the southeastern region as
the first phase of public inquiry in 0
the plan which already has been the
subject of considerable preliminary
study by the commission
Consolidation of the railways was
proposed by congress according to the
official explanation made at the time
to meet the situation growing out of
the inability OF weak railroads to op-
crate under rates which produced suf-
ficient profit for stronger lines. The
commission has before il compia-
hensive plan to bring about the con-
solidations, and the various railroads
have been invited to study it and pre-
sent objections or suggestions for al
teration.

bly, ten hours of debate, but this plan
would be contingent upon the speaker
entertaining a motion for suspension
and passage Of the bill. Dispatches
from Florida last night indicated that

eideratioh of the bill under such q
plan. as 1t would shut on all amend

New York, March 15.-Anthracite
miners .and operators were prepared
today to begin negotiations for new

the miners, formulated at their con-

and ratified by the International con-
vention at indianapolis last month, are
to be formally presented to the coal
operators and explained in detail by
officers of the Union. The operators
are expected to Immediately take
them under consideration and make a
statement of their position on Friday.
The miners are asking for a twenty
per cent increase on contract rates,
among other things, while the mine
owners are on record as favoring

basis.

the loan of $5O.OOO,OOO made to Aus

unanimously today by the Senate and

ganizations. The resolution was an
proved unanimously by the Senate
finance committee.
Senator Lodge told the Senate that
the Austrian government was without
sufficient funds to operate and also
pay the loan. Other nations which
had oined in famine relief work. he
said. had promised also to extend
their loans. which are secured by
liens on Austrian revenues. The
American relief fund he explained
was in the form of wheat and was

A two-thirds majority would be
necessary to pass a bill under a SUB
pension of the rules, but proponents
still insist that despite continued op-
position in and out of Congress the
measure will get more than the two
thirds majority.
There was continued speculation
tc day among House members as to
whether Speaker Gillette would bring
back to Washington any expression OF
the views of President Harding on
the bill with its bank loan certificate
plan. Chairman Fordney says he does
not expect the President to send any
message to him supplementing the

GENERAL WEATHER CONDITION

The low pressure area which was
over Oklahoma yesterday morning has
moved eastward over the Carolinas. 1t
has caused rain generally over the
middle and lower Mississippi valley
the Ohio valley, and the southeastern
states. In connection with the main
storm center, several secondary
storms, or tornadoes developed, and
wrought damage in localities.
1t is cooler this morning over the
Lake region, the Ohio and Mississippi
valley and the plains states, in con-
nection with an area of high baromet-
er. which covers the plains states this
morning. Pressure is also high on
the California coast, but low over the
North Pacific coast Rain has fallen
in Washington, but elsewhere in the
west the weather has been generally
fair. 1t is warmer over the Rocky
Mountain region.
Indications are for partly cloudy
and cooler weather in the vicinity of
Tampa tonight and Thursday.

likely 1t is the opinion of the min
ers and many of the operators that a
suspension in the har dcoal fields of
Pennsylvania is certain. If it comes,
it is expected there will be a complete
cessation of production as on two for
mer occasions when wage negotia-
tions dragged over many weeks. A
shortage of anthracite coal is not an
ticipated unless the expected suspen-
sion should run into the summer,
which is not looked for by the min
ers. The demand for coal during the
winter was below normal due to mild
weather and high prices, but despite
this the anthracite mines have been
kept steadily at work. in contrast to
those in the bituminous field. and
there is fair supply of coal on hand
both in the storage yards of the min
ing companies and in the larger retail
yards of the east, it was said.
The miners entered the joint confer
ence determined, they said, to resist
with all their power any effort to re-
duce their present wage scale as in
dicated by the operators. There must
be no backward step" President Lew
is has said, and the miners have de-
clared themselves as unanimous in
supporting him.
Beyond the general statement that
the workers shall share in the gen.
eral deflation by accepting a wage
cut, the mine owners have not indi-
Gated what proposition they will make.
1t has been reported that they are
not unit as to what percentage they
shall ask.

Harrisburg. Pa, March 15.-The ap-

United States census of 1920 will
place it below Pennsylvania, New
York and Virginia, in the opinion of
S. w. Fletcher of the agricultural ex-
tension department, Pennsylvania

he declared, is more speculative than
that of this section, and to that cause
he attributes its fall in comparison

states.
