ADVICE AS TO DRAWINGS.
TO KIDWELL: Can't use
your good drawing of 1924 base
ball, because it is IN blue ink.
DrGw it in BLACK ink, on stiff
WHITE paper, and it can be
used. Also make 1t somewhat
narrower. but deeper If you like.
Many good drawings fail to
make the column because they
are IN cOlors.

 Representative Huddleston delivered the principal address of the day. well coming the visiting farmerss T. D. Parsons made the acceptance speech to Mir. Huddleston's welcome. The representative, in this address. touched upon various phases of the farmers needs, their relations towards politics and possible methods of relief. He attacked and condemned many existing conditions wherein the poor are made innocent sufferers, aiming his assault particularly at instances in which capital operates the political ma ehinery at the expense of the common people. He placed the farmer in the same category as the laborer, and urged his audience to link with labor to fight their common enemies.
 Poll Tax Under Fire
 Among other things at which he levelled his guns were the S1.50 poll ta% law, which he said keeps thousands from expressing political opinions al elections, especially, women; the slow but steady transfer of capital to privileged few, and the reactionary policies practiced in Alabama govern ment.
 Both Afr. HuddIeston and the other speakers were greeted with enthusias- tic applause.

HARRISON DENIES AGREEMENT MADE IN VIADUCT r,'. -- sN Grade Crc s E rlans Face Big After
 Reputation SWITCH IN PLAN | CAUSES COMMENT Harrison, Cloe Want Un-
 derpasses, Ingalls,,
 Dickson Spans

With a final conference be- tween the city commission, the railroads and the special Chamber of Commerce com mittee set for Saturday, the movement to eliminate down. town railroad grade crossings Tuesday faced a crisis that may block relief for several years. The possibility lcomed that the tentative agreement reached August II for via ducts at Eighteenth and Twenty-fourth streets might be disregarded and the entire question again thrown wide open.
 Brifely, the days developments were ::
 1. Commissioner W. l.. Harrison as- serted he was bound by no agreement and came out emphatically for. under passes at Fourteenth, Eighteenth and Twentieth streets as a substitute for General ". L. Sibert's plan.
 2. R. I. Ingalls,, president of the Chamber of Commerce and member of its special committee, expressed ,'.great surprise" at Harrison's state ment and pointed out that the eommis' sioner had staunchly ladvocated syia- ducts at last weeks joint conference

Dickson, whosss, department is supervising the crossiu9 relief plans, said he felt bound by fhe ientatiye agreement md tAAk | tie aree Saturday tQ pav Ey6 Der cent of the eonatruckion costs, he win vote to pr0fead with the pro gram outlined. He also, expressed sur prise at Harris0n's statement but made no comment on 1t.
 4. Commissioner ". B. Cloe openly asserted that he fought viaducts to the last ditch and 'came out of the joint conference favoring underpasses." He said the tentative agfeement was en- tered over his protest and indicated he would still be fighting for underpasses at the Saturday barley.
 UmdeFpasses Advocated
 Commissioner Harrison said his deci- sion to fight for underpasses came after careful study of all the plans, He said underpasses would cost less and would enable the city to obtain early relief at Twentieth street, and said lie favor ed legal steps to force the underpass program if the railroads refused to accept it and pay 75 per cent sof the cost.
 Amplifying his formal statement, Harrison said the commission did not commit itself to anything at the joint conference; that it rejected a request that 1t declare for viaduets as against underpasses, and that he left the meet ing with the understanding that Si- bert's plans and the eity's own plans still were hanging fire.
 Ingalls, Surprised
 Members of the special chamber com mfttee took an entirely different view.
 T am greatly surprised at Mir. Har- rison's statement, in which he sudden ly changes his attitude. After General Sibert explained his viaduct plan, Mir. Harrison was one of the first to de- clare in favor of 1t. He took occasion to thank the chamber committee for the public service it had helped to perform in bringing the relief movement to q satisfactory conclusion. Of course, recognize that an official has the right to change his mind. The chamber com

FAKE TELEGRAM STARTED WAR IN JULY, 1914

VI JENNA, Aug. 19.--It was a 2 forged telegram that induced
 Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary to declare war against Serbia in July, 1914. accrid- ing to a statement by Col. Selinger, chief of the press bureau. of the Vienna war office, published in the Vienna Tagblatt.
 Colonel Selinger says that tele- phone message to the press bureau reported that Francis Joseph at last had signed the war declaration but that he had been persuaded in doing 50 only after great difficulty. The actual signing did not take place, as serts the writer, until Count Berehtold, Austrian foreign min ister, showed the emperor tele- gram which stated that Serbians had raided Bosnian territory and in the fighting there had been some 400 soldiers killed. ss Colonel Selinger quotes the late emperor as saying:
 'If so much blood has already been spilled, then war is unavcid- able"
 It was the very next day, says the writer, that Count Kinsky, the fa- nous courier, informed the press bureau that the telegram was q forgery and that actually there had been but four casualties.
