the objections OF bondholders and
certain of the stockholders OF the
Reading company and it's allied cor
l. .'.,tions to the second modified
segre cation plan.
,rhe testimony will be limited TO
the question whether the provision
in tie dissolution serene for the
segregation Of the rail and coal
properties under the general mort
gage will cause financial damage to
the bondholders. All the other OBJ
je items. which involve points of law,
will be taken up in argument imme-
diatnly after the testimony has been
heard.
Tn,. suit to dissolve the alleged coal
and railroad combination controlled
by the Reading company and allied

ticn CT certain companies i'll the

81 AUTOS FROM
MANY POINTS AT
LOCAL CR0U NDS
Visitors Elated Over Our
Climate and Camping
Facilities

%ourists continue to arrive in Ell
Centre in goodlv numbers, Judging
from q survey made of the city
camping grounds this morning: At
8 o clock, 81 ears were camped at
city park, and one camper estimat-
ed that at least 10 mere ears had
departed before that hour. The ma
,joritv of the ears were from Cali
fornia, IA being registered from this
state. Washington and Oklahoma
were tied for second place with four
cars each. Texas came third with
two ears and there was one car each
from Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Missouri, Michigan, Ne
braska and Arizona.
Inquiry among the eastern tour
lists showed that the ma joritv of
them arrived in California via the
Yuma-IIoltville highway. Not one
of those who were questioned made
any kick about this highway. One
man stated he considered it Npaved
boulevard in comparison with some
of the road he had Travelled on the
way west.
The campers spoke highly of the
facilities furnished them at the
camp grounds, and said they COM
pared favorably with those furnish
ed in cities much larger than FL
Centre. The fasteners particularly
were lavish in their praise of FL
Centre y climate, the statement be-
ing made that if folks along the AT
lantic coast knew there is such won
derful weather here, they would
flock here in crowds.
