the Associated Press. Judge
j. A. McDermott of the Kan
sas industrial court, left this
afternoon for Emporia, to in
vestigate the William Allen

governors office it was an
nounced that there was no
change in the states plans to
arrest the Emporia editor for
his alleged violation of the in
dustrial court act in posting
placards encouraging the
striking railroad shopmen.
The only reason for the post
ponement Of action. 1t was
said, was to determine a plan
of campaign.
1t vas understood that
Judge McDermott had COM
plant against White with him
and that ,his instructions were
that, il White took down the
offending sign, no attempt
would be made to arrest him.
But that If he did not, McDer-
mott was to- file the informa-
tion with Roland Boynton,
county attorney. Late infor-
nation from Emporia was to
the effect that the yellow
card which caused the break
between White and Allen is
still in position, but White has
not changed the fifty per
cent" sympathy for the rail
road men. Yesterday the card
was changed from 40 to 80
per cent.

COURT PETITIONED TO
APPOINT MOTHER AS
GUARDIAN OF JACKIE

Los Angeles, July 21.-Jack
Coogan and Lillian Coogan, par
ents of Jackie Coogan, child mo-
ton picture actor, today petitioned
the superior court here to appoint
Mrs. Coogan legal guardian Of
Jackie.
The petitioners recited that they
were conserving Jackie's earnings
for him, although the law gives the
parents control of the earnings for
him, and that they wished to put
the trust under the direction of
the court.
The father said the petition was
filed because he and Mrs. Coogan
wished to quiet gossip they were
taking Jackie's earnings for their
own benefit. The petition grants
Jackie's "emancipatian," which
means that his earnings are his
own and the parents, as guardians,
will be required to conserve them
and account to him when he comes
of age, in the meantime, account
ing at stated'intervals to the court.

BAPTIST WOMEN QUIT PURITY
). Meeting after FAILING TO
CLOSE PUBLIC DANCE HALLS
Petition Signed By l44 Church Women Is Re-
fused By Anti-Vice League After Heated
Discussion; Permanent Organization Was
Launched to Look After Morals Of County.

After failing to railroad a move
mept to close all dance halls Of the
city through the newly organized
Anti-Vice league of Bernalillo
county, delegation of Baptist wo-
men headed by Mrs. Blanche I'M
derwood, left the meeting at the
chamber Of commerce yesterday
afternoon in a high huff.
The presentation of the petition
signed by 144 Baptist women pre-
cipitated a storm of discussion, the
pros being led by Mrs. Underwood
and the antis by Mrs. Alfred Gruns
field. The petition was finally re-
scinded by vote Of nrrow margin,
the Baptists throwing in extra
weight with large delegation.
When the count showed that the
anti-dance hall petition had lost.
the Baptist delegation arose In u
body and left tho room amid the
vigorous applause of the winners.
The petition asked that all public

dance halls in the city be closed on
the expiration of their present
licenses. Although the petition was
signed by only 144 women. there
were thousands of Baptist women
who would affix their signatures,
according to Mrs. Underwood.
Since the saloons had been success
fully abolished, she saw no reason
why the dance halls couldn't be
closed as well, she remarked in
boosting the petition.
Mrs. Grunsfeld demonstrated,
gently but firmly, stating that no
organization had a right to criti :
cize or control the amusements of
others and that whatever evil OF
public dance halls might exist
could be corrected by proper super
VISION rather thansyby abolishment.
She expressed the opinion that pub.
lie dances II properly chaperoned
would be In the same class as the
theater, the movies and other re-
creation places.
Lets get our policewoman first
and see to better lighting of the
city before we try such drastic
measures" said Mrs. Grunsfeld
we want to keep sectarianism and
politics out of this organizations
good work" Her remarks WERE
applauded. y
A permanent organization with
the name of the Anti-Vice league of
Bernalillo county was launched be-
fore the dance hall proposition was
introduced. A constitution was
adopted which outlined the pur-
poses of the league as follows: ITO
promote activities in suppressing
vice, to censor places of public
amusement and to promulgate
moral purity in the city and envi-
rons."
1t was decided to hold meetings
of the league once a month and to
charge such dues for the work OF
the league as the organizations
which belonged might decide on.
The election OF officers was post

WHITE ARSENIC
RATE IN TARIFF
BILL ATTACKED
Senator Smith Says It[Was
Written Into the Measure
for the Sole Benefit of the
GuggenheimS.

Washington, July 21.--Develop-
ments today in senate consideration
OF the administration tariff bill in
cluded:
Material reductions in most of
the duties originally proposed on
products of flax, hemp and jute.
A charge by Senator Smith, dem
ocrat, South Carolina. that the rate
of two cents a pound on white ar
lsenic was written into the bill for
the sole benefit of the great Gug-
genheim smelling interests"
The Introduction Of a resolution
by Senator Gooding. republican,
Idaho, proposing a public investi-
cation of the claim of clothing pro-
ducers that the proposed rate of
33 cents pound on secured wool
would result in an increase of
about 81 in the, price of suit OF
clothes and 81 in the price of an
overcoat.
Senator Smith brought up the
arsenic rate in the midst of con-
Isideration of the linen schedule and
promised that when the senate
came to final action on the arsenic
paragraph he would go into details
as to whom the tariff would benefit
and upon whom 1t would rest. He
estimated the present duty would
cost the cotton producers alone
SIS, 100000 a year.
Calling attention that arsenic was
a by-product which the smelterS
were required by law to restrain,
because Of the damage it had done
to vegetation near the smelters,
Senator Smith said the smelling in
terests were not even willing to
contribute a by-product to the gem
eral welfare of the country, but
hasten to congress to get a duty on
it.
Senator Smoot, republican, Utah,
denied that the arsenic duty would
cost the cotton farmers S1S,O0O,0OO
a year. On the basis of the total
domestic production and importa-
ton, he said, the total increased
cost could not exceed 100000 a
year.
Senator Gooding's resolution pro-
posing an investigation of the ef-
feet of the wool duty was referred
to the committee on audit and ac-
counts. Despite some extra dis
cussion, the senate made unusually
rapid progress on the flax sched.
ule, disposing of all of 1t except
four items.

COTTON GIN At
P0RTALES WILL
BALE z YIELD
Especial Correspondence to The Journal

| Especial Correspondence to The Journal.)
Portales. N. NJ, July 21.-G. III.
Mason. of Littlefield, Texas, is IN
stalling the machinery for Por-
tales latest business enterprise, the
cotton gin. Mr.. Mason owns profit
liable gins at Slaton, Littlefield, and
Shallow Water, Texas, and the in
stallation of $4,000 plant here is
evidence of his confidence that
Roosevelt county will develop into
one of the most successful cotton
sections Of the plains country.
The machinery consists of one
l200-horsepower engine, a large
cleaner and boil breaker, and four
|seventy-saw gins of the most mod
|ern type, the Murray air blast hol-
ow gins. Permanent installation of
these machines will be rushed to
completion. They will be an
chored in the concrete floor that
will be laid in the large new build
ing recently completed. They VIII
have capacity of forty bales a
day.
Weather and crop indications ire
such that it is probable that the
four thousand acres OF cotton IN
Roosevelt county will produce al
least 1900 bales this year. Many
cotton farmers in Texas and Okla
homa are watching with interest
the beginning Of this industry here,
and without doubt there will be q
large influx Of people from the
weeyil-infested areas Of those Ind
other states. For several years d
bale or more per acre of cot
ton has been raised on few of the
dry farms Of this county. The bus
mess men and farmers realize that
land values will doubtless increase
much in both the irrigable and Try
farming sections, and that Portales
will have substantial growth ne.
cause of the enterprise Mr.. Mason
has been instrumental in develop
ing.
