to pay her $10,0O0,O00 for bearing
him a child, according to his De-
troit divorce complaint, which be-
came public here through a side
action in Supreme Court.
The five and-ten-cent store own
er's charges against his wife who
has now been granted a divorce, was
revealed in connection with his re-
quest that the order demanding his
examination in connection with his
own divorce suit be discontinued.
Justice Mahoney discontinued the
order in view of Mrs. Kresge's di-
vorce.
Kresge had charged, the Detroit
complaint disclosed, that his wife
assumed a position of mo money, no
child" and that he refused to meet
the figure and consequently re-
NAMED childless.
The complaint also says that Mrs.
Kresge threatened to lock him out
of their home, "as I did Mr.. Har-
den," her first husband.

BUTLER
EXTENSION OF !
TROLLEY Line.
Two Changes Discussed to
Improve Service to
University.
HEAVY COST INVOLVED
Double Tracking Is Being
Contemplated Along
E. Washington.

Two proposals to extend the Fair
view-Illinois street car line to pro-
vide service for Butler University
when it is moved to its new site in
FairvieW are being discussed by uni
versity and Indianapolis Street
Railway officials.
The proposed Fairview street car
extension, which will cost approxi-
~mately 100000, is q part of some
100000 worth Of extensions and inn
provements contemplated by the
street railway company.
The Fairview extension proposals
both involve abandonment of the
end of the present Fairview car line.
Would Extend North
University officials propose that
the Fairview line, which now runs
west on Forty-Second ST., be ex-
tended north on Boulevard Pl. from
Forty Second st. and Boulevard Pl.
to Forty Seventh st. and then west
on Forty Seventh st. to the campus.
The street car company officials
also propose abandonment of the
line on Forty-Second st. west Of
Boulevard Pl. and extension north
on Boulevard Pl., but they would
run the line west on Forty-SiXth
st. to the campus, instead of using
Forty Seventh st.
Butler and street car company
officials recently conferred on the
question, which now must be taken
to the board of works.
The company had hoped to have
the extension work under way by
this time and at least hopes to COM
plete the work this summer, accord
ing to street railway officials.
Double Tracking Planned
Double tracking of the E. WASH
ington st. line from Audubon Rd.
to Sheridan Ave, now single track,
and abandonment of the spur which
now runs south on Audubon Rd., at
a cost of approximately 100000, also
is contemplated by the street car
company.
The company likely soon will ask
the works boards permission to
abandon the Audubon Rd spur, so
the double tracking may be done
while that section of E. Washington
st. is being resurfaced and widened,
according to President Robert 1.
Todd
The board of works adopted a
resolution for resurfacing and Wild
ening the street this week.
The street car company, accord
ing to Todd, also is planning $4,000
rebuilding work on that section of
the College Ave. line east on Sixty
Third st. from College Ave.

COOLIDGE WONDERS
IF HE'LL GET PAY
Salary for 1929 Is Held up
by Campaign Waged
by Senator.
BY C. ]. LILLEY

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Presi-
dent Coolidge's salary for the fiscal
year of 1929 hasn't been voted by
Congress.
Nor have the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Federal
Trade Commission, the Civil Service
Commission, the Shipping Board
and other various and sundry in
dependent branches Of the govern
ment been granted the wherewithal
to conduct the business of their
bureaus.
The reason is Senator Hugo Black
of Birmingham.
Black is carrying on a fight
against the independent offices APP
preparation bill that is causing
much concern in administration
circles.
Would Cut Salaries
The Senator objects to size of
appropriations for attorneys IN the
Shipping Board offices. Black in
troduced amendments reducing
these salaries by $4,000 and limit
ing them to $4,000 annually. One
attorney now gets $4,000.
Blacks reason as stated to the
Senate is that the amount of legal
business in the Shipping Board
doesn't justify the appropriation.
He charges waste, idleneSS and
conditions that ought not be per-
mitted in a government bureau.
The Senate listened to Blacks
complaint and voted his amend
ments. When the independent Of
fees bill returned from conference
between Senate and House commit
tee members, the Black amend
ments had been dropped.
Starts New Fight
Black launched a new fight. pre-
vented adoption of the bill and
sent it back to conference again. Il
want the House to vote on my
amendments" Black said.
The bill still is in conference and
President Coolidge and the various
bureaus are anxiously awaiting word
that their salaries and funds have
been voted.

Terminals at Point Isabel

Construction Of wharves. docks and terminals at
Point Isabel are planned by a subsidiary corporation
Of the Port Isabel company, which was granted a char.
ter this week, and which, it is understood, is ready to
start construction Of a turning basin and terminals
without delay.
Officers Of the new corporation give the assurance
they are anxious to cooperate with the federal govern
ment, a Valley navigation district or any other agency
designed to develop the Valley port. Their objective.
they state, is port development; to secure a port for
the Valley at the earliest possible date, and that they
have no intention Of sewing up" port facilities.
The announcement of the port company is one Of
great interest to the Valley. II indicates that local
interests will be in position to meet any reasonable
requirement the federal government may impose in the
event the government concludes to proceed with the
port development project. And it also indicates that
IN the event the government should not undertake
the re-dredging Of the inner channel, and will merely
complete that section which was not dredred in 1924
the port company will construct a channel 70 connsct
with the channel over the bar at Brazos Santiago.
Dnring all the years Of agitation for a deep water

necessity for prompt action in securing deem water

Reducing the Cotton Acreage

The southern governors cotton conference adjourn
ed Tuesday after devoting two days to Intensive ar
sument regarding the cotton situation, and the sole
result Of the conference was q recommendation that
the cotton acreage be reduced ten per cent
Apparently the cotton situation is exactly the same
as before the conference was called. No one can doubt
that it was the intention of the governors of the
southern states to perform a great public service; but
the results Of the conference are not heartening TO
those who we're Of the opinion that something con-
structive would result therefrom.
A resolution submitted by State Senator W. B.
Hobobitt to the effect that the major cotton growing
states pass laws designed to compel reduction Of cot
Ton acreage received the cold reception it deserved,
and a substitute resolution which calls for education
and persuasive effort instead Of compulsion was
passed, though it lacked the enthusiastic acclaim gem
orally accorded q resolution which is expected to solve
. difficult problem.
Last year a campaign was waged throughout the
south to induce the growers to reduce cotton acreage.
From the Rio Grande Valley to the northern boundary
of Oklahoma and from the western to the eastern ex-
tremes Of the cotton belt the newspapers filled their
columns with detailed information as to what would
be the result if the growers did not reduce acreage.
The growers read with avidity. and then each. appar-
entity believing that his ~neighbor was going to reduce
acreage, promptly proceeded to plant more cotton than
ever before. The fact that weather conditions reduced
the yield probably saved the cotton growers.
The cotton acreage in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
will be 30 to 100 per cent greater than last season, and
all the education and persuasive effort the newspapers
and other agencies can disseminate will not reduce the
planting one acre. With a favorable season, the VAL
ley's cotton production will increase 100 to $50 per
cent, surprising the high record Of 1926. To preach the
doctrine Of acreage reduction to the thousands of
growers who have their land prepared and the seed
ready for planting is about as useless as endeavoring
to stem the tides of the ocean.
Il Is safe to predict that Texas and every other state
in the cotton belt will plant an acreage equal to that
OF last year. Every grower will plant with the expec-
tstion that the growers in some other section Of the
belt will heed the call Of education and reduce acre
age 10 or 20 per cent. In fact, the acreage reduction
campaigns appear to stimulate planting, and unless the
cotton production problem is approached from some
other angle there is no indication that it will be solved.
IL the governors of the southern states would create
q research commission to discover more uses for cot
ton and another commission to evolve plans for or
Derby marketing and financing Of the crop, they could
benefit the cotton growers. But to recommend acreage
reduction is merely reviving an ancient and inefficient
panacea, the ineffectiveness of which has been clearly
proved.
