she has news from Lord Dombey."
Nevertheless, when she entered the
little room where Elsa Francks was
waiting, 1t scarcely seemed likely
that news of so fastidIous a person al
her brother could come from such q
source. Her doubts. however, were
soon set at rest.
"Are you Lord Dombey's sister,
the woman asked bluntly, without
Offering to move from her chair.
II am" Lady Mary acknowledged
at once. "Have you brought news

the unexpected reply.

The woman laughed coarsely.

Crossing of Varieties
In the south $50 to $50 days is the
rule for the corn crop. Ability to

SENATE AUTHORIZES
LAND GRANT PROBE
Adopts House Resolution to Inves.
tigate Claims of Northern
Pacific Railway.

Congressional investigation of land
grants to the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company was authorized in a
House resolution adopted yesterday by
the Senate.
The inquiry was recommended by
Secretaries Work and Wallace who
asked also that there be provision to
hold up final adjustments OF the
grants until after the Investigation
had been concluded.
Under the resolution as it was
adopted by the House, adjustment
would be withheld. until March 4,
1927, but after hearing officials of
the railroad company the Senate fixed
the date at March 4, 1925.
The Northern Pacific Railway, Com
pany is laying claim, according to in
formation furnished Congress by the
Interior and Agricultural secretaries,
to several million acres of land in
national forests. The forestry serv-
ice contends that not only is 1t not
entitled to- this land but that 1t al
ready has received more land than was
provided for under the original grant
made by Congress.

The short season corns are not the

migrants from their native fields on
the slopes of the Carpathian Noun

They have cultivated it $50 miles

CLAIMS BUSINESS HURT,

The recent action of the prohibi-
tion unit in attempting to regulate
the use of industrial alcohol has af-
fected injuriously the cosmetic mar
ket, according to petition for an in
junction filed yesterday in the District
Supreme Court by Isadore Goldenberg
of Philadelphia, trading as the Gold
E-Cosmetic Company.
Mr.. Goldenberg asks that Secretary
Mellon, Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Blair, Roy A. Haines, prohibi-
tion commissioner, and J. NJ. Doran,
chief of the bureau of industrial al
cohol, be restrained from interfering
with his business and be required to
withdraw their orders closing down
on his permits for alcohol which is
needed in the making of the prepa-
rations sold by him. Goldenberg says
he needs 500 gallons per month.
Justice Hoehling cited the govern
ment officials to show cause tomorrow
why they should not allow Golden
berg to have the required amount of
alcohol.
A similar petition was filed by Her
man J. Frantz of Philadelphia, who
says he needs 4,400 gallons each
month in his business. Attorneys r.
H. McNeill and John w. Maher appear
for the plaintiffs.

REBUkE OPPONENTS

Men to Cover Action Favoring

NEED SERVICE OF CAR LINE
Closing of Thoroughfare Assailed
in Resolutions Adopted.

A rebuke to opponents of 14th
street extension through the Walter
Reed Hospital reservation "for using
our wounded comrades and enlisted
soldiers as cover for fight to
close the main north and south busi-
ness street. Of Washington in order
to preserve campus for an officers
college is delivered in a resolution
adopted by the Equality Walter Reed
Post OF the Veterans of Foreign Wars
at its last meeting.
The resolution charges that vet
erans of the post have always been
greatly inconvenienced by the lack
of adequate street car service to the
hospital, although the wards in which
we were placed as patients or which
we visited we're placed by omcers OF
the Medical Corps immediately adja-
cent to the only available street car
line"
Mystiacd by Statement.
The resolution states:
I'VE are entirely at loss to url-
derstand the statement made by MEM
bers of Congress when they were at
tempting to close 14th street through
the Army Medical Officers College,
that they were fighting for the best
interests of the wounded veterans of
the world war or the soldiers at Wal
fer Reed Hospital, because we know
that the officers college end of the
reservation will never be of any
service or convenience to either the
wounded veterans of the world war
or the enlisted men of the reserya-
ton.
of using our comrades and the en-
listed soldiers as a cover for hight
to close the main north and south busi-
ness street of Washington for the sole
benefit of the campus of the officers
college.
our wounded comrades of the world
war who still occupy the hospital
and the enlisted men of the reserva-
tion are entitled to and should have
the benefit of the 14th street car
line to give them better and quicker
service to Washington city, more
particularly because they do not own
automobiles, as do most of the med
tcal officers stationed at the post
Takes Similar Stand.
George washington Post of the
iAmerican Legion also takes a similar
stand in a resolution which urges
that no steps be taken for the clos
ing of 14th street. This post, in a
resolution, states that 1t "feels that
the Interests of the disabled veterans
and other patients would be best
served by keeping 14th street OPEN"
In this resolution special attention
Is directed to the fact that 14th street
south of the Army medical center
slants west to the line of 18th street
and therefore runs through the Army
medical center on what would nor
maliy be 18TH street and the distance
