CHICAGO, September 10.-The fact
that a group of women's dry organiza-
lions voted to participate in the forth
coming State prohibition referendum,
which is opposed by Mrs. Lottie Holman
OyNeil, independent dry candidate for
Senator, does not mean Mrs. O'Neil
will lose the support of these organiza-
tons, according to Catherine Waugh
Mccullough, leader Of the referendum
dry group.
Mrs. Mccullough, who represented
Enforcement League at the group meet
ing, in a letter to Mrs. ONeH yesterday
said she was shocked" to learn the
organizations action had been inter-
preted as a refusal to indorse Mrs.
O'NeilS candidacy.
'I wish to assure you that that meet
ing was called for another purpose to
consider methods of securing q large
NO vote on the wet referendum in
November and was limited to that"
she wrote. I'VE took no action about
your candidacy and we're not authorized
by any organization to which we belong
to take any action on that subject.
IT think you will find that great
numbers of the club members and
w. G. r. u. members will make a
great effort to send you to the United
States Senate
Mrs. O'Neil, a Republican, filed as an
independent after Mrs. Ruth Hanna

League are the Women's Christian

County-owned hydro-eiectric plant and

was built at cost Of 81 100000 OBJ
tanned by bond issue.
yesterday the Georgia Power CO.,
which had served the community prior
to the opening Of the local plant, an
nounced cut in rates within the city
Of Cordele, bringing the price Is per
cent below the cost Of the county
The Georgia Public Service Conn
mission stepped in quickly. and issued
an order commanding the Georgia
Power Co. TO show cause why the rates
offered in Cordele. should not be APP
plicable to approximately 100 other
communities which the company serves
in Georgia.
p. S. Arkwright, president of the
Georgia Power Co., issued q statement
in which he charged that the Crisp
County authorities were using unfair
tactics In extending local service to
Cordele customers. He declared the
slaShing of Cordele rates was made
imperative by the prior action OF
Cordele municipal authorities In cutting
our rates. their deliberate purpose being
to destroy our business In Cordele."
j. j. williams, chairman Of the Crisp
County Power Commission, declared the
local authorities were unconcerned
about the rate cut, since nearly 100 per
cent Of the citizens of Cordele are TAX
ing current from the local plant.
Cordele and Crisp County citizens

to finance the plant by q vote Of

NEW BONDS CALLED
by SMITH CO. BODY
District Apartment House,
Once Held Sound, Said
to Be Defaulting.

A new call for bonds sold through
the F. H. Smith Co. on Washington
apartment houses, which heretofore have
been considered sound investments, mas
been issued by the Roosevelt Commit
tee. formed some months ago for the
announced purpose of protecting the
holders of bonds sold through the
Smith Co."
The Tivoli Apartments Of Washing
ton is outstanding among those on
which bonds are now being called by
oy the committee states that these bonds
are being called because Of default
in the payment Of interest and matured
bonds totaling $66,275 In principal
amount. Bonds also are being called
on other local apartments known as
the Fairfax, Stanley Arms, Hamilton
Hotel, the Cedric and the Al-Roy.
Not Smith Co. Obligations.
The committee emphasized the fact
that the bonds sold by the Smith Co.
but are the obligations Of separate
corporations.
dThe Smith company's connection
with the issues has been and ostensibly
is that of fiscal agent" the circular
states. Although 1t has been the prac-
tice of the company in the past to pay
bonds and coupons upon their maturity
irrespective of whether the mortgagors
made payment on 1t for this purpose
this practice has not been followed fol
the past few months. The financial
condition of the r. II. Smith Co., there
fore, can have little bearing on the
intrinsic worth Of the bonds. The con-
tinued payment of principal and inter-
interest on the bonds depends upon the
value and earning power OF the prop
erty by which they are secured"
Circular Letter Declared Inadequate.
Referring to q scircular letter re-
Gently mailed to its stockholders by
the Smith company, quoting from q
decision of the New York Supreme
restraining injunction, the commit
tees circular said:
without more complete summary
of the courts opinion than was con-
tanned in the letter, the true import OF
that decision is obscured"
The committee called particular at
tention to that portion Of the decision
which read: IF We are TO take the
physical property as the basis Of Its
value, the evidence shows the appraisals
to be grossly excessive and exhorbitant
Even upon the basis OF valuation which
was adopted by the defendants 1t Is ap-
parent that the appraisals are inflated
beyond all reason and were deceptive
and misleading"
The Smith company is alleged to
have used anticipated earnings OF 60
ing concern as the basis for many Of its
valuations.

ers that there have been defaults ir
