HIGH SCHOOL SHOW
 GIVES WAY TO DIVA
Geraldine Farrar Will Sing In Atlanta At The Municipal
 Auditorium

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 29-Geral- dine Farrar. grand opera star, will sing tomorrow night at the city auditorium here, it was announced late tonight by S.. Russell Bridges, manager of the Southern Musical Bureau, following a conference with Charles J. Foley of Boston. Miss Farrar's manager. MT. Foley arrived here tonight.
 With the doors of two churches barred against her, and the city auditorium engaged for tomorrow night by an Atlanta high school for minstrel show, places for the diva to sing were rather poor. However. those in charge of the high school minstrel show withdrew in favor of the diva. and ended the suspense by releasing the auditorium.
 Miss Farrar. who thrilled an au- dience here three years while ap- bearing in the role of "ZaZa,p let it be known from Birming gham where sHe is appearing in concert tonight, that mo one can make me disappoint my friends in Atlanta, and l positive ly will sing before an Atlanta au- dience Friday night"
 The grand opera stars Birmingham statement came after Dr. John w. Ham, pastor of the Baptist tabernacle, announced that Miss Farrar could not appear In his churchs auditorium.  Objected To "Zaza."
 The minister issued formal state ment to the effect that Miss Farrar's E performance in TZaza' here three wears ago makes t tn1xSsssible for 9 ealra to permit the use of it's facilities far her apnearanee in concert"
 Dr. Hams action followed that of Dr. w. H. Laprade, Jr., presiding elder of an Atlanta Methodist district, who closed the doors of the Wesley Memo rial church to Miss Farrar. Neither minister would make any comment on the objection taken to Miss Farrars s performance in "Zaza."
 Her friends here say that she en- acted her role wonderfully and the only criticism heard by them was that she yielded an atomizer with a little too much emtional display.
 s. Russell Bridges, head of the Southern Musical bureau, sponsoring Miss Farrar's concert here, declared tonight he was entirely at sea as to where the diva will appear.

ORPHANS SUFFER AS TWO FACTIONS FIGHT
Missouri Boys Institution Almost
 Missed Thanksgiving Cheer

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 29.-One hum dred and fifty boys at the McCune home, a county institution, were without even the necessities of life on Thanksgiving, as result of a political row between various of ficials over who had the authority to purchase supplies.
 Supplies of food, clothing and coal were running short, J. R. stewart, superintendent of the home, said. The boys have only one blanket each at night. The county court contends all supplies must be requisitioned by it. while the parole board demands that 1t be allowed to purchase all supplies. Merchants refuse to sell on the order of either the parole board or the county court until the dis pute is settled.
 "I obtained extra Thanksgiving provisions by giving personal guar antee that they would be paid for, and by the assistance of friends" :" Superintendent Stewart said

STATES POOL EFFO RTS TO. COMBAT RATE
Thirty Are Now Enlisted In Contest Which Seeks To Remedy Unfair Steel Freight Rate Charges
 MEANS PITTSBURG PRICE PLUS FREIGHT CHARGES No Matter Where Commodity Is Sold Or Manufactured, Purchaser Is Dominated By Pennsylvania City's Rate
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER (LeaSed Wire To The Age-HeraId

Ky RODNEY k. BUTCHER (Leased Wire To The Age-HeraIdJ
 CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Nearly two thirds of the United States are now lined up against the practice of "Pittsburg plus" in the steel indus try.
 Thirty states, through their gov ernors and attorney generals, have already joined the newly organized associated states opposed to Pitts burg plus, and several more are ex- pected to come in before the gov ernment opens it's rehuttal in the federal trade commissions hearing on the practice in Washington De cember 10.
 The latest members of the anti Pittsburg plus organization are the widely separated states of Massachu- sets and Alabama acquisition of which has just been announced. Prac- tieally every main section of the United States is represented.
 When the government opens It's rebuttal, it's argument will be based largely on economic factors, accord ing to officials of the association, which has its headquarters here. There will be expert testimony by such widely known authorities on economics as Prof. John R. Commons of the University of Wisconsin, Prof. F. A. Felter of Princeton, and Prof. w. z. Ripley of Harvard.
 "Pittsburg plus" as many know
 and many don't, is the practics existing in the steel industry of passing the price of steel, wherever sold and wherever manufactured, oit the Pittsburg price plus the freight charges which would be paid If the steel actually dld come from tho scheme point out that this is car7 ried on in spite of the fact that the worlds largest steel mill is in Gary, Ind. and the second largest in, Chicago.
 Thirty States In Fight.
 The states which have joined the national association and are now of ficially on record as opposed to "Pittsburg plus" are Maine. Massa- chusetts, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana. Ken Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota. South Dakota, Idaho, Montana Ore gon. Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado. Arizona, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa. Utah. Oklahoma, Missouri, Missis- sippi and New Mexico.
 Chicago, whose industries are per haps the principal sufferers, has just become the first large American city to declare against the practice through her city council It is claimed that because of Pittsburs plus Chicago industries have to pay from IS to 40 per cent more for steel than they would otherwise.
 An assistant corporation counsel of the city will go before the federal trade commission and present the charges of great hardship worked on local business.
 Meanwhile, 1t is declared here, ths agricultural bloc in Congress is be- coming worked up over the matter. with the result that the issue may be productive of some added fireworks when Congress gets into action in it's forthcoming session.

URGE PRESIDENT TO JET IN FIGHT
Many Republicans Meet And Advise With Coolidge-But
 He Only Listens

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-With the return to Washington of republican leaders for the opening of Congress, pressure for an early definite an- nouncement by President Coolidge of whether he will seek the presidential nomination in 1924 is being increased, and some of his friends believe he will settle the question soon.
 Many of the Presidents supporters have visited him recently and urged him to make an announcement of his candidacy at an early date, but so far he has contented himself with listening to advice without giving an intimation of his course. Notwith : standing this, his friends in several states have taken steps in prellml ' nary way for his entry into the presi- dential race.
 Announcement of Senator Hiram Johnson's candidacy for the repub- lican nomination has served to force the preparation of all campaign plans. it is said sooner than was anticipated. With Senator Johnson making his initial bidi in Illinois, it was learned today that Illinois friends of MT. Coolidge already are preparing the way for a contest for  Reynolds, prominent republican lead CT and banker of Chicago, conferred here yesterday with President Cool idge. While it was said that MT. Reynolds called merely ito pay his respects" some republican leaders saw more than a perfunctory sig nificance in the visit
 O o O
 Many Conferences.
 Several other prominent republic ans have been here recently confer ring personally with President Cool idge or with his friends on political conditions in a number of states. The President so far appears to have been merely taking counsel without an swering suggestions affecting his personal political welfare.
 The situation in Maryland in the belief of many. probably will serve to bring President Coolidge person. ally into a definite position. Mary lands primary law requires an an nouncement personally from each candidate whose name goes on the ballot. Arrangements already have been made for Senator Johnson, and Maryland republicans have been here recently urging the executive to have his name entered for the primary which will be held May ,.
 The Presidents friends are of the opinion that it is only natural that MT. Coolidge should defer any an nouncement as to his course until after his opening address to Con gress and it's reaction upon the country has been noted.
