PLANS UNDER WAY FOR
JOINING FOUR ROADS
Two Plans; One for Two Combinations,
Other for Linking All; Morgan
Called Into Conferences

New York. Representatives of
banks identified with railroad interests
were present at an Informal conference
merge the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Burlington railroads into
one big railroad system. Although no
details of the meeting were given out,
it was learned that only the operating
details of the proposed merger were
under discussion.
A member of a prominent banking
firm denied hat any discussion had
taken place so far on the financial
problems involved in combining the
three big roads.
1.-THE merger has been under discus
sion for many months" he said, but
any assertion that the merger plans
have been completed is without foun-
dation. 1t Is not so close at hand as
some persons think"
Plans for the merger when COM
pleted will be presented to the inter
state commission at Wash
ington, November II. The commits
sion already has announced tentative
consolidation plans for the roads in
volved. Under these plans, the Great
Northern would be Joined with the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail-
road, and the Northern Pacific coupled
with the Burlington. The promoters
of the proposed ~three-cornered merger
deny that the st. Paul system is in
cluded in their considerations.
Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern; Hale Holden, president of
the Burlington, and Charles A. Don
nelly, president Of the Northern Pa
cific, were in conference. AT the close
of the meeting 1t was stated that ma
terial progress had been made in the
plan and that a representative of J..
p. Morgan & Co., bankers of the roads,
would be called in.

EscoRTlNe PARADE LOOKED
LIKE oLD-TIME PROCESSION
FOR WHITE HOUSE
BACKS WHEELER and MOSS
There Was Great Applause as the
Speaker Appealed for Wheeler
and Moss and Other Demo-
cratic Officers

Billings.-The nearest thing to the
triumphal march of a presidential can
didate in the midst of an ~old-fashioned
| political rally that Billings has exper-
fenced for many years was the demon
| stration staged recently on the arrival
| of william Gibbs McAdoo, former sec
rotary of the treasury, and n of the
| most prominent figures of the wartime
| administration, whose stamping o in
the present campaign is generally re
| garded as a ~forerunner of his candi-
dacy for the presidency in 1924.
Democrats staged a big parade in
| escorting the former captain of the
| liberty loans from the Union station to
| the Babcock theater, where he adj
/ dressed a capacity house that had
| waited patiently for an hour and a
half. Republicans served as specta-
tors, along with the throng that prob
ably bore no partisan banner, and he
| streets were packed with people as Mr..
| McAdoo accompanied by former Gov.
| Sam. v. Stewart, Thomas Arthur,
prominent local Democrat. and other
| state and local leaders of the party in
automobiles, advanced slowly with the
procession on his first real visit to
Billings. The former director general
of the railroads bowed continually,
waved his hat, and smiled broadly.
The crowds roared greeting and
clapped hands, and the Billings band,
which preceded the procession, fur
nished lively marching music.
The parade was over two blocks
long and besides the wheelhorses of
the party who marched -four abreast, 1t
was made up largely of railroad men,
marching in tribute to the man who
was their ''big chief" during the tense
days of wartime ~railroading. Red fire
illumined the way, and altogether the
demonstration smacked wildly of an
old time campaign climax in a presi-
Dental election year.
Mr.. McAdoO's appearance on the
stage at the Babcock theater was the
signal for a great ovation on the part
of the crowd that packed every avail
able part of the building. Applause
was frequent throughout the address,
and the speakers apt anecdotes as fire.

ARMY DI2IGIBLE RIPS
AND BURNS IN SHE'D
Uncle Sans Largest and Best "BIimp"
Destroyed as Preparing for
Return Trip East

San Antonio, Texas.-The dirigible
ca, the United States army's best and
largest 'blimp" on a return transcon-
tinental flight from Ross Field, Cal, to
Langley Field, Va, was burned, and
seven persons were injured. Accord
ing to Maj. H. A. Strauss, commander
of the Inflated ship, the accident was
due primarily to the pulling out of the
fabric of the envelope during a strong
wind.
A board Of inquiry was appointed by
Major Royce, commander of Brooks
field, to investigate the accident. The
ship, which Major Strauss said was
valued at possibly $4,000. originally
cost the government S27O,000.
The five army officers and two
newspaper men who were injured, are
reported to be not seriously hurt. Four
of them suffered broken bones in jump
ing from the carriage of the balloon
after it had struck at the II OF the
giant concrete hangar at Brooks field,
which was built originally to house the
Roma, which blew up over Hampton
Roads, February 81, 1922.
The C-2 was preparing TO make a
flight over the city of San Antonio.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Lloyd George
has ''gone into the wilderness" This
was the description in his Manchester
speech of his position If the unionist
wing of his followers should desert
him. Unionist withdrawal from the
coalition was decided upon by the
meeting which Austen Chamberlain
had called at the Carlton club and
which was attended by the coalition
members of the house of commons and
a handful of lords who were enrolled
in the cabinet.
The vote was 1S6 to ST against the
Chamberlain policy of pledging the
party to sustain the coalition and In
favor of a general election to confirm
its course. The meeting was followed
by a succession of swift events which
carried the coalition government into
outer darkness. )
Andrew Bonar Law will put on the
premier's mantle for a short term of
office. The king summoned him to
Buckingham palace at night and in
vited him to form a new government,
which Mr.. Bonar Law will undertake,
although the state of his health, which
compelled him to withdraw from pub
lie life a few months ago, makes 1t a
risky venture.
Before Mr.. Bonar Law can formally
accept the premiership, however, a
meeting of the unionist party must be
held to elect a new leader to carry out
the policy to be decided by caucus.
This meeting will be neid within a few
days when Mr.. Bonar Law will be
chosen.

THRICE FIRE. RENT NATIONAL
IHEAIER NOW TO BE RAZED


The rebuilding Of new theater on
the present site Of the New National
recalls an interesting history of this
famous Washington playhouse.
II is noted that four National
Theaters have occupied the present
site and that those buildings have
been destroyed by fire three times.
The first building was erected in
1884. The construction Of this build
Ing was Of unique architecture, con-
sisting of Roman doric, succeed in
imitation Of granite.
Parquet Floor Removable.
The parquet was so constructed
that the floor could be removed in
order that the building might be
used as an amphitheater. This thea

the management of the Chestnut

ball of President Polk was held there
March 4, 1845. The next night,
while the play of Beauty and the

in the back of the building and soon
the theater was in flames. The walls
alone remained after the fire.

Were the author ct the famous
Nick Carter series still alive he could
not have devised more hair-raising
plot nor one to better hold the reader
in absolute suspense while the hero
and his trusted comrades, at first
thwarted and apparently undone by
the machiavellian plot Of the arch vii
lain and his gang but eventually
turning the tables on the black -souled
dastardly contrivances and coming out
on top a true hero. than took place
not million miles from the peaceful
environs of the nations capital in the
third year Of the drought and under
the very noses of the bloodhounds of
the law.
In the language Of Nick Carter:
"The night was black. the sky low
hung with scudding clouds. The wind
moaned over the lonely countryside,
as our hero, his trusty six shooter
strapped to his side, gazed intently
into the darkness ahead. Nothing
could be heard but the wind and the
huge motor.lorrie carrying its pre-
cious cargo. Thinking only the pur-
est thoughts Of home and the girl he
was soon to marry, our hero, with
muscles taut, little recking the tmmi-
nent danger close at hand, drove the
powerful van loaded high with costly
goods. Not a word passed between
him and his two partners, Big Heart
ed Charley and Dead Eye Dick. his
comrades in many perilous adven-
ture.
Cold Steel startles Hero.
"Suddenly our hero started as he felt
cold steel pressed behind his ear. A
cold hand gripped his heart as he
heard, One move and I'll blow you
to eternity hissed from behind him.
Sharp commands followed. Stop the
truck. Climb down. you blank blank
blank!' In a twinkling our hero real
ized how he had been tricked, how
, the cursed villains had climbed
aboard the heavy, slow-movfng lorrie
and stealthily slid forward from the
