SMITH LEADS
IN WISCONSIN
Over McAdoo and LaFollette
Leads Coolidge by a
2 to | Vote

MILWAUKEE,. wis.,, April AL
Smith, governor of New York, was
leading William G.. McAdoo, and
Robert M. La Toilette, United States
senator for wisconsin. had two to
one lead over President Coolidge for
delegates t-large to the Demo-
cratic and Republican National
Conventions, respectively, when
compilation of returns from yester-
days primary was halted Temporal
rily early today by crippled wire
service.
Although La Toilette delegates
continued to lead the Coolidge men,
later returns showed that the latter
were holding the senator's candi-
dates to less than a two to one ra-
ito. With 484 precincts reported,
La Toilette delegates had 54.303 and
Coolidge delegates 30,391.
The figures, including only two
precincts in Milwaukee. where the
race for the nomination for mayor
was paramount. were (359 precincts
of, 2.574 in the state): La Toilette
delegates, 24,194: Coolidge delegates,
1872; and (264 precincts) Smith
5.417: McAdoo, S.741.
Completed returns from Racine
and Kenosha counties and the first
definite returns from Milwaukee
county gave Coolidge delegates a
slight advantage over the position
they held last night. With 460 pre-
cincts out OF 2.574 in the state re-
ported, La Toilette delegates had
4S,904 votes and Coolidge 26,592.
Would Vote for Smith
BOSTON, April 2.-Announcement
by Brigadier General Charles H. Cole
last night that If elected a delegate
at large to the Democratic national
convention he would vote for Gov
ernor Smith of New York for the
Presidential nomination injected
new element of interest into the Mas
sachusetts primaries which will be
held on April 20.
None of the members of the Tor
ganization" slate of eight candidates,
headed by Senator David I. Walsh,
has yet announced any Presidential
preference. General Cole, the only
additional candidate for delegate at
large, filed his papers as a protest
against the failure to place the name
of any world war veteran on the reg
ular slate.

WAGE PROBLEM
 STILL OPEN AT
 FARLEY RECESS
Miners Demand For New Two-Year Contract ls>
 Unchanged

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 16.- (By Associated Press. )--Adjournment of the bituminous miners and operators jafnt wage conference until Monday morning this afternoon, left all con fnrence problems as they were on the first day. President John Lewis an- nounced the miners demand that the next contract be for a term of four years, remained unchanged and Michael Gallagher, chairman, announced the operators continued in opposition to four years, but had not gotten together on an alternative proposal to submit. ? Illinois operators, represented in the conference by Rice Miller\ and H. C.. Perry, are holding out for a one-year contract renewal of the present wage scale, and are against anything more, 1t was learned authoritatively today.
 Settlement of the length of contract will carry all other questions with 1t. Operaters were said to believe that the miners win not insist on referring back local conditions to individual districts, if they are successful in their fight for . long term contract.
 Thus far there have been no con- cesions on either side, but it is hoped that the weekend recess will give the operators time to come together. There is . possibility, it is believed, that contract may be signed for a term of three years if the operators will unite on it as a substitute for their one year and the miners four year offer.

Heflin Says Constituents Were 4. Badly Sung In
 Frauds

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 15.- :. That, ,Alabamians were stung" bY the land companiee in the Rio Grande sec tion of Texas, and contributed their gro rata share of thessixty-efght million dollars, alleged to have been secured by the promoters of the scheme, was made certain today by letters and tele- grams reaching Senator J. Thomas Heflin.
 The senator will investigate these al- legged frauds pursuant to resolution introduced by Senator Heflin. The president of two of the companies men toned in the senator's resolution is R. B. Creager, republican national com mitteeman of Texas, who was offered the Mexican ambassadorship by the late President Harding.
 Senator. Heflin said today that the developments would result in scandal, approximating the Teapot Dome affair.
 Mir. Creager. who is in Washington, asserted Senator Heflin was animated in his course by an allegiance to the Ku Klhx Klan and a friendship for Senator Mayfield of Texas, elected, 1t is said, by the klan. Yesterday, Senator Heflin reiterated his previous statement that his motive was not of importance, and declared that he was not and had not been a member of the klan, had not consulted with Mayfield's attorneys, and would not manage Mayfield's fight to retain his sent in the Senate.
 The investigation will be initiated as soon as preliminaries can be arranged.

' JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 15.-(Spe- cial) By a vote of 31 to 6, the senate just before adjournment passed the stop, look and listen bill applicable to railway grade crossings. The measure was championed by the Brotherhood of Railway Engineers, but before pas sage was 80 heavily laden with qualify ing amendments as to make it we'll night worthless.
 Both branches of the legislature have adjourned until Monday. On Monday night joint session will be held to hear an address on the life and character of Woodrow Wilson by ex-Senator John Sharp Williams.
 An effort by MT. Collins of Jones, to induce the house to institute inn peachment proceedings against insur- ance commissioner T. M. Henry was frustrated this morning after a bitter debate that consumed practical ly all of the forenoon session
 A resolution was introduced by MT. Collins reciting all of the charges of shortages embezzlement preferred against Commissioner Henry by Former Governor Lee NJ. Russell and Former State Revenue Agent Stokes V. Robert son, concluding with a proviso for the appointment of a special committee of five to investigate the charges and report their findings to the house.
 The debate waxed bitter at times with considerable partisan feeling be- ing shown. Formerly Mir. Kennedy of Adams, offered motion that the reso- lution be referred to the committee to investigate public officers with in- structions to report within five days. Advocates of impeachment opposed this on the ground that it was equivalent to putting the resolution to sleep. The motion was carried by vote of 66 to 40

Young Folks" learns on good authority that the new double trouser suits "stand up" well under the stress of action any live fellow gives his clothes. It seems that a maker has finally been found who still remembers when HE was a boy, and didn't like to be thinking of his suit all the time.
 These new togs are all-wool, of course, styled and tailored like a mans, in smart light shades, stripes and overplaids. Young Beau Brummel, IT,, will wear some shade of gray this Spring. You have our word for it. All sizes, up to eighteen years, we're told, are $13.s5--with two pairs of trousers.
 BlOuses c0Ior.fast '. Woven madras in plain blue or tan or white will all be good. A dollar sounds reasonable, espe- cially as L. J. & L. guarantee the blouses fast-eolor.
 Can caps grow?
 They're larger this Spring. Yep. We've seen 'em. Medium and smaller shapes, too, in sprightly, mannish new patterns, with all- silk lining. A dollar and a half is not much for real fellows caps, and these are all of that.

304 Buttons Of Various Degrees Awarded For First Six Months Of Year

In January, 1923, officials of the Birmingham Electric company decided to adopt some method or plan to en- courage and inspire platform men to more careful service, in order to re- duce accidents and to render courte- ous and efficient service, other than the usual disciplinary channels. It was then that the gold distinguished service button system was inaugu- rated.
 A careful and accurate record is kept of the service performance of every man in train service, embodying infractions of rules, record of fare collections; controversies with passen- gers, and in addition, any amounts expending through the Claim Depart ment as result of the performance of a motorman or conductor is entered against that mans record. Semi-an- nually the superintendent and his as- sistants take these records and go over them carefully, and where it is found that motorman or conductor is eligible, the Distinguished Service button is awarded.
 The first award was made for the year 1922, and 34 men were awarded buttons. For the first six months in 1923, 125 bronze six months but tons and 19 silver one year buttons were awarded. For the last half of
