COOLIDGE TO
AWAIT ACTION
Disposed to Look For De-
velopments on Farley

Washington, Feb. 2l.-Presidcn mt
Coolidge still regards the outcome of
the disarmament project sponsored
BY the League Of Nations as factor
to be awaited before any formal
move is taken by the American gov
eminent looking to the calling of a
new arms conference.
While hopeful that definite results
will eventually appear from the in
formal conversations in which Am
erican diplomatic representatives
have participated abroad, these have
not reached a status which the pres
ident feels commits the American
government or yet definitely points
to the calling of conference under
its auspices.

S0UTH'S RAPID GAINS
REVEALED IN REPORT
Southern Railways Figures Show
- Ill Per Cent Increase in
Freight Traffic.

Wonderful progress made by the
South in the expansion and diversifi-
cation of its manufacturing activities
diiring the past 20 years is gra phcally
shown by figures contained in the an
nual report Of the Southern Railway
co. just issued.
From 1904 to 1924 the tons of manu-
factured products, including all less
than carload freight, handled by the
Southern increased from 5,s20,S2S to
12.291,5 tons. or Ill per cent.
During the same period the tons of
products of mines increased from
s,56S,41 to 1s.009, ,314 tons, or 110 per
cent. an interesting fact being that
the coal traffic doubled despite the
very large development of hydro
electric power in the South.
The tonnage of products of forests
increased from 3,607, ia to 7,7S5, ,S36,
or 116 per cent; products of agri-
culture from 2.450.732 to 4,2322 or
73 per cent, and products of animals
from 285,s44 to 431,334 tons, or 81
per cent.
"A noteworthy feature of this eX-
hibit," says the report, is the evi-
dence it affords of the South's uniform
development along all lines of eco
nonic endeavor. More and more every
year Southern factories draw their
raw materials from Southern farms.
forests and mines
The report also calls attention to
the phenomenal development of the
textile industr5 in the South, and it's
extension 10 new fields in western
Nortn Carolina, eastern Tennessee
and northern Georgia, the marked ex-
pansion of cement manufacturing and
the healthy growth of the Southern
iron and steel industry.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Importance Of Annual Reports.
by GEORGE T. HUGHES.

1t often happens that useful in
formation with regard to the status
of particular industry may be OBJ
tanned from study of the annual re-
port of one of the leaders in that
line. All stockholders are entitled
To copies of the annual report. but
too often they do not give these
documents the attention they deserve.
For illustration we may take the
report of the Northern Pacific and
see what light it throws upon the
railroad business. In the first place
we note that in 1924 this railroad
carried almost as much revenue
freight as it did in the preceding
year. The decrease. expressed in tons,
was negligible. On the other hand,
the drop in number of passengers
carried was almost startling. In 1928
the Northern Pacific transported
4,706.52S passengers, while in 1924 the
number was 3,607,9S7, a loss of more
than % per cent.
The chairman of the board observes:
THE automobile. motor bus and mo-
tor truck are taking more business,
both freight and passenger. each
year" SO far as the figures go. how
ever. 1t is passenger, and not freight
carrying, which is chiefly affected.
Bankers and investment advisers are

when the motor business will reach
what they call the saturation point,
that is the time when enough auto
mobiles will have been manufactured
and sold to meet all needs and only
requirements can be relied upon for
new business. However that may be,
it is quite evident that the capacity
of the automobile to take business
away from the railroad is still gain.
ing.
The Northern Pacific report goes
on to say, 1.-The competition of the
Panama Canal is increasing and that
route is taking a larger proportion
each year of business formerly han
died by the railroads. Unlike the
automobile competition. the Panama
Canal affects only the Western trans
continental systems, but with them
it is a very serious matter.
These facts are of more than pass
ing interest to holders of railroad
securities and not alone to investors
in Northern Pacific stock.

George Anderson Ct Chicago, an

the speaker at the meeting Of the
Waterville Lions Club last evening
at the Elmwood hotel. Mr.. Ander-
sons talk dealt largely with Lions
matters but at the outset he traced
in most interesting way he early
history of service clubs, saying that
while Paul Harris of Chicago is CAL
led the father Of Rotary he might
well be called the grandfather OF
Lions. The speaker said that he was
highly pleased with the clubs he has
visited in New England and he urged
that they grow as rapidly as posi-

Colby's debating teams will have one
OF the busiest seasons in their history
this year If present plans are success
full. The society has held two meet
fngs this year and it's activities are
now well advanced. Several debates
have been negotiated for but none has
been definite secured although within
short time arrangements will be
completed. Some Of the teams which
will undoubtedly be on the local sched-
ule are Dartmouth. University Of
Maine, Bowdoin, University of New
Hampshire and Lafayette. The de-
bates will be contested with each
school sending team to debate on the
negative to the opposing college on
the same night that the negative team
debates at home. These dual debates
will probably be held with every coll
lege on the list of opponents.
The debates will be held during jan
uary and February for the greater
part.
Charles p. Nelson, '2s, OF Augusta,
is vice president OF the debating socie-
ty and is very well suited for the po-
sition. He also was one of the stars
on last years debating team and has
taken part in many eontests at the
college.
A few Of the experienced men who
will be candidates for the teams this
season are: Paul M. Edmunds, '26, Of
Brooklyn, N. T.; Donald e. Sprague,
'26, of Boothbay Harbor; Herbert C..
jenkins, '27, of Lisbon Falls: Gabriel
Guedj, '26. of Belfast; William A. Ma

in the matter of summoning witness
ses from Honolulu and other far
away places. Their testimony will
be sought in the form of dispositions
to be offered in evidence by the de-
tense. This move is put forward as
a means of expediting the trial, now
threatening to extend over a con-
siderable period, and also to save
the government the heavy expense of
bringing such witnesses to Washing
ton.
Mr.. Reid addressed the court in
support of his melton to dismiss the
charges and specifications against
Col. Mitchell soon after it was called
to order by Major General Robert

ly that the prosecution had failed,
when it rested its case yesterday, to
introduce in evidence any of the ell
ements necessary to constitut the
offenses it charged in the specifica-
tons.

and navy departments on the ground
that they were incompetent, crimi-
nally negligent and almost treason
able in the conduct of the national
defense, Mr.. Reid said, were not
made in a way that proved intent"
to bring discredit on the military
service, and he contended that the
prosecution had not proved the Sin
tent as required by courts martial
regulations.

said, has the prosecution produced

The motion was rejected by the
court after it had listened to brief
counter argument by Col. ,Moreland,
who asserted that the evidence he
had submitted was sufficient to sus-
tain the charges and specifications
against the defendant.
Respecting the question Of "in-
tent Col Moreland asked how 1t
could be established, adding that
Col. MitchelPs "head can not be
opened or his heart exposed for the
purpose Of ascertaining what he
thinks or feels" He declared that

termined exclusively by what the
