QuestiOn-Where
Is Leon Trotsky?

MOSCOW, Jan, 17.-(6 p. aD-
efforts to locate Leon Trctsky,
Russian war minister, following
publication of reports in Pari+
that he had been arrested, rnsulted
i'll conflicting information from
Nalious sources. 1t was officially
stated that Trotsky is i'll 1T his
summer home near Moscow.
However, week ago, one of the
officials of the Russian government
told the United Press that the wal
minister had departed from ;SLchun
.n the CacaSus.
Today (Thursday) Trotsky's 5 own
department declared him to lie al
Jnge in the Crimea,
The foregoing conflicting reports
ccnceivably may be the basis OF
the rumor that he has been ares'ted,
which, however, recalls hvgon
canardS that Trotsky had arrested
Lenin and vice versa.

SHIPMENT PRE-
COOLED LETTUCE
START Ed EAST
Same Method Used That
Proved Success With
CantalOupes

The first car of preceded LET
iucc to be shipped during the pre-,
sent season went forward last night.
j. s. Strobcl, we'll known shipper,
,cr5 it out and both he aad the
officials of the Imperial lee and
Development Company, who were
i'll charge Of the pre-cooliHg, are
intensely interested in receiving
wire news as to its market price
in the east. They expect ,o re
tcivc this information tomorrow
or the next day.
The same method is being used
in the preceding of lettuce that
was so successfully utilized last
summer on cantaloupes. The let
tucc is submerged i'll water cool
cd 70 Il temperature Of 32 degrees
and kept there an hour and 4 half.
There is room for 100 crates ut one
time in the cold bath, which is
kept at low temperature by the
! ammonia expansion process, the
system being installed by piping
1000 feet from the main plant.
The dry icing method is being
used on the lettuce now being
:hippcd. According 10 +. W. Waite,
III charge of the experiments, it
( is hoped that the pre-ccoliPg sYs'
lem viii keen the lettnce iN coed
condition after its arrival in east, a
condition that is not now possible
under ordinary circumstances. Much
enthusiasm is expressed by those
behind the project as to its ulti-
mate effect upon the lettuce in
dustry here.
Only Plant of It's Kind
The local preceding plant, which
is ,.he only one of its kind in eX-
istence, is slow moving ea1crpil-
lar arrangements which tages on
the crates at one end after the let
tucce is properly trimmed and pack
cd and after the cold immersion. de-
livers the crisp product at the ether
end to the packers. Available equip
ment will care for three ca loads
:, day but if the method proves
successful there will undoubtedly
be an extensive development of
machinery for handling thu crop.
A nominal charge of % cents is
made to the shipper for the pre-
cooling service. A few shipments
Of preceded lettuce were mad'
last season but the innovation was
begun TOO late to he Of benefit in
proving its efficacy.

FIRM
 MUST PAY DAMAGE
Man Hit By Wire Wins $5,OOO
 Judgment .
(State Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Aia., Oct. 23.-- The supreme court in decision Thurs day affirmed the decision of the Marenge circuit court in the case in which Wiley S. Hood, railroad employe, obtained q judgment of $5,000 against the De mopolis Telephone company for injuries sustained when struck by a telephone wire while on top of freight car. Hood sued for $25,000 and was awarded $50O0. In affirming the case the su- preme court pointed out the danger from a wire acIoss a railroad track if hung too low, and stated: "The duty to provide ample clearance is not linn ited to the man of average height while riding on car of usual size. The duty is to the tall man as well as the low, riding on a high or low car in common use."
 Detours must either exist or be pro- vided where a road is closed to traf- fic, the supreme court held in the case of Howard Thomas versus Salisbury and company ct. al., appealed from the Sumter circuit court. This was suit for injuries caused by an obstruction to state highway under construction. The lower court decided for the defend ants and it's decision was affirmed by the supreme court. The supreme court stated in its opinion, that. closing a road to public travel involves several factors distinct from road construction itself. The necessity therefore must be determined by the proper public au- thority and a permit granted, unless it is a part of the contract made with such authorities. Detours must either exist or be provided. When the per init is obtained, the new duty of pro viding of proper warning notices oI barriers to advise the public that the road is closed comes into being"

PARADE CLOSES
 MOBILE REUNION
Sailors From U. S. s. Tal- lapoosa Join In Pro-
 cessiOn

MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 23.-The twen- ty-fourth annual reunion of the Ala bama division, United Confederate vete- rans, came to close here today with street parade.
 Sailors from the U. s. s. Tallapoosa, Mobile rifles, Mobile cadets, veterans of the Spanish-American war, Boy Scouts and then the veterans in auto mobiles formed the parade. Major Gen eral Mitchell B. Houghton of Montgom- cry, reelected commander of the Ala bama division for another year, and Mrs. 0. s. Mcdowell of Eufaula, presi-- dent of the state United Daughters of the CoDfederacy occupied prominent place in the parade immediately ahead of the city commissioners.
 Banks of humanity lined the route of march. Saddened by memories of the Civil war, the Mobilians who saw the parade had little to say. They smiled, yes, but there was no riotous greeting for the venerable heroes making, per haps, their last appearance on this stage. Mobile had suffered too much, and the memory of the bitter days of long ago was still strong in the minds of the ilder ones and it communicated itself to the younger generations in the crowd.
