RAILROAD IN HAITI
FULLY REHABILITATED
Creditors Fully Paid, Foreclosure
Averted in Four Years of
Receivership.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 19.-The com
plete rehabilitation of the National
Railroad of Haiti was announced to-
day by Judge Mayer of the Circuit
Court of Appeals, under whose guild
ance Roger l.. Farnham, as receiver
has for the last four years admins
tered the affairs of the operating com
pany.
In memorandum reviewing the
status of the railroad Judge Mayer
included the opinion that the Fed
eral courts can successfully deal with
legal problems involved in an intri-
cate financial enterprise.
The broken and depleted railroad
has been reorganized. the bondhold-
ers who have come into the plan
have now a direct obligation of the
government of Haiti, and the work
of clearing the right of way for the
necessary connections to make a
continuous railroad is actually now in
progress" Judge Mayer declared in
his memorandS-
Securities which were apparently
worthless, or nearly SO, at the time
the receivership began have now an
appreciable value, and the bondhold-
ers have received IS per cent in prin-
cipal amount of Haitian bonds for
100 per cent principal amount of
company bonds. as well as s35.75 in
cash for each bond.
There has been a complete re-
habilitation, to the great advantage
of the many investors, both here and
abroad All creditors have been paid
in full and foreclosure has been
aVerted.
The completion of the railroad un-
der the reorganization plan will prove
of great value to the commerce of
Haiti and, as a necessary incident, to
her commerce with the United States
and European countries.

CONSULS HAVING
TROUBLES ABROAD
Applicants for Visas Storm
Offices With Demands to
Fill Quotas Years Ahead.

PRAGUE, July 19.-There was a
storm around American consulates as
soon as the new immigration law be-
gan working. The Prague consulate
has about 10000 applicants for yisas
AS the Czechoslovak quota is about
5000, it means 10 years before pres
ent applicants can be satisfied. In
Warsaw $4,000 have asked for per
mission to enter the United States
In vienna, Budapest and the Balkans
the condition is similar, with usually
enough applicants to keep the quota
illled for years in advance.
1t is no uncommon thing to have
small riots break out among disap-
pointed visa seekers, who often re-
fuse to take no for an answer and
insist upon their right to enter the
United States. They usually end by
cursing the consul in charge or by
leaving in tears, according to their
temperament. Sometimes it is neces
sary to call the police to eject those
too insistent. In Prague the consul
in charge of visas sometimes is offer
ed eggs and butter by Sloyak farmers
wives, who are accustomed to ingra
tiating government officials. They
are surprised when their gifts are
refused.
Each case of visa application must
be handled on its merits, according
to the new law giving preference to
skilled farm labor and relatives Of
American citizens. The consul in
Vienna has solved the problem of
preventing a daily riot by insisting
that applications be sent by mail.
This saves him from gray hair.
threatened assassination or offer OF
a million-dollar bribe.
Nearly all consulates have a special
file containing about so letters Il
week, received from race congress
men," demanding visas for their
friends. Applicants often wave such
a free pass to the land where dol
lars grow on bushes.
Economic conditions in Europe, par
ticularly Central Europe, are very
bad, SO if restrictions were relayed
there would be an invasion of Amer
lea. As it is, there are daily cases of
counterfeiting passports and offers to
smuggle emigrants to America. For
eign steamship lines are particularly
hard hit, hence they are bitter. They
have about 35,000,000 worth of paid
passages out, with the prospect of
losing their entire profitable steerage
traffic Many lines will be forced to
close their steerage offices.
In general, Central European gov
ernments do not object to the Amer
lean law. They usually desire their
nationals to remain at home to keep
down the price of labor and pay
taxes. Indeed, many European bust
ness men state that Europe will need
all its labor for reconstruction when
the political situation improves.

ss Of Big Athletic Show In Local Ring.
s4 Scholder Wrestles Bridges

birmingham is just about as agog as
o town can get to be over a sport at
traction. The reason Of all the aggogi-
ness is the 10-round set-to which will be
waged between Johnny McGinty, who
has gone IN extensively in a local way
for cauliflower raising, and Dick
Adams, young gentleman from New
Orleans. who talks out of the corner
of his mouth and who shoots puzzling
punches to the frontispieces of be-
wildered foes.
g The reason of the widespread interest
In the Monday night card at the Bir-
ningham Athletic club has been
holds decision over McGinty, and
also by the fact that everybody in
Birmingham knows that when Johnny
McGinty enters a ring it is to get his
man or be got. There is nothing of
the stall or the yearning for set-ups
in Johnny McGinty's makeup. "Get
me a man to battle and 1 will beat
ever way the thing goes you can bank
on the fact that I'll be giving em the
best I've got in me-" That's Johnny
McGinty's slogan. Thus far he has
lived up to it, and that's the reason
the fans are always anxious to see him
scrap.
Adams Has Many Victories
: Adams comes to Birmingham with
string of victories to his credit, ham
mered out over some of the best boys
in the pugilistic game. Fact that he
broke McGintys nose in their New
Orleans engagement two months ago
has given the boy an enviable prestige,
and the chances are that he will be a
slight favorite to win over McGinty
when the two enter the ring Monday
night.
BY virtue of such wide interest

The Auburn rats have had plenty
of work this spring, when the weather
would permit, working against the I'll
ger varsity. Kirk Newell is in charge
of the coaching of the new students"
and with the wealth of material re-
porting to the popular mentor of the
freshman outfit, is expected to execute
their schedule in creditable manner

hurting troupe. Price. Decatur, Ala

Work Hard
Preparing For Furman This
Week And Prospects Are Z
Indeed Brighter

Daily workouts are preparing the
Birmingham Southern Panthers for
their first collegiate game of the sea-
son which will be with the Furman
university diamond aggregation during
the latter part Of the week, the game
being expected to show the real quality
of the Hill Top team as none of the
first games of the season have done.
Suffering with stage fright In the
first game Of the season, the Painters
were swamped by the Philadelphia
Athletics in Montgomery a week ago,
winning from Marion series of two
games on the two following days and
loosing to the Barons during the past
week.. The games thus far, however,
do little to show the real ability OF the
Gold and Black team, for the first
games were played with little prac-
ing pitchers are freshmen for this year
also left much to be desired in ex-
perience with college teams.
Stars Back In Eineup 10y
The Painters should not be handi-
capped in the, games this week for
"Bullo" Williams and Mickey O'Brien,

minor injuries, will be back in the
lineup, strengthening the team, while

Constant infield practices are smooth
ing cat the wrinkles. Skeebie Caldwell
on first, Kimbrough at second, Ander-
son at short and Englebert at third
are beginning to work together with
precision which promises much for
the future, while the hitting of the
entire team looks well thus far. Prac-
tically every member Of the squad dis
plays some ability in coming in contact
with the ball while at bat and for that
reason the fortunes of the team loo,
more rosy than might be otherwise
NOrtOn's Hitting Counts
Williams, Mitchell, Williams and Nor
ton will be in the outfield, all four of
the men being veterans of several years
experience who are expected to do good
work in the future. The fact that
Mike Norton got three hits in as many
times up against some of the best
pitchers Of the Macks promises well
for his work in the future, while other
Of the outfield menNAlso show ability
at the bat.
Mickey o'Brien seems to be able to
hold down the place behind the bat
with all the ability Of Greek Griffin
or Sid Godbee of the past, thus filling
the only vacant place ON the line
Duke Hamilton, Babe Graham, Bill
Adams, Joe Wheeler and Dad Howell
should make a pitching staff that, once
started, should twirl the Painters to
number of victories, the box being
no longer the weak spot OF the team
as 1t has in the past.
(The Birmlngham-Sout team was
late in getting under way on account
of the lack of field but this diff
ficulty has been remedied and things
are expected to pick up on Sunshine
Slopes In the near future.)
