PRESIDENT OF

FROM VACATION

Returning today from a three

fished frequently in some of the
best trout streams in the west and
the masculine members always
caught the daily limit of fish. Pres
ident Bason stated it is good to be
back to FL Centro and home.
II was agreeably surprised at
business conditions when I return
ed here" said President Bacon.
when left the first part of Aug
ust I expected the month to be
quiet, but I have been told at the
banks that bank deposits and the
volume of business generally were
way ahead of any recent years. 1
was indeed glad and surprised,
Also" said Bacon, ito find that
regular shipments of milk are be-
ing made to San Diego. 1 think
we have the milk institute to
thank for this for they have un-
tiringly kept the project before the
public and I hope the quantity in
creases daily. I am told this milk
reaches San Diego with tempera-
ture and bacteria count exceeding
ly low. This reflects much credit
on the shippers and on the per-
sonnet of the health department,
whose careful inspection makes
possible this low count. Were 1t
not for the high quality of the
milk, we would not dare ship to
San Diego in the summer time. A
weeks shipment has demonstrated
that this can be done, and hope
we are going to be able to ship
thousands of gallons daily instead
of hundreds"
President Bacon stated that
there will be no dinner meeting oi
the chamber tonight because
number of directors are still Out
of the city, but beginning mex
Wednesday the regular weekly
dinners will be resumed.

HOUSE PROBE
MAY At TACK
LONG REGIME:

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. U.p -
Congressional foes of Sen. Huey
P. Long viewed a house elections
investigation resolution today as
possible authority for an inquiry
into his Louisiana dictatorship"
They watched for announcement
of the membership of five - three
Democrats and two Republicans
expected to be named today by
Speaker Joseph Byrns for possible
inclusion of avowed political foes
of Long.
Passage of an elections investi-
cation resolution every two years
is routine. House action this year
passed without notice. The reso-
luton, however, contained a para
graph regarded by some as signifi-
cant. 1t authorizes the committee
to "act upon its own initiative" in
selection of investigation subjects
upon such information which in
its own judgment may be reason
able and reliable"
The first election over which
the committee will have authority
to investigate and report on 1896
campaign expenditures by candi-
dates for the house will be the
January Louisiana election. 1t
would include Longs expected
slate" for the house.
Observers speculated on whether
the anti-Long bloc of Louisiana
representatives = Sanders, Montet,
Dear, Wilson and Sandlin-had a
hand in shaping of the resolution.

July saw distinct gains in bus
mess following the Independence
week lull. Steel, lumber and text
lies, except cottons, led in improve
ment among industries. Summer
goods were the retail sales feature
and wholesalers reported liberal re-
orders. Tax uncertainties adversely
affected cotton manufacturing and
legal proceedings tied up some cap
ital pending decisions on proceed
ing taxes.
Residential building expanded,
and railroads bought more freely
OF equipment. CarloadingS i'm
proved but were below 1884 as fag
ends of drought-reduced crops were
marketed. Electric power output
rose nearly to 1929 records. Banks
iclearingS and bank deposits ad-
vanced sharply over July last year.
Wheat crop prospects were re-
ported reduced by rust or heat in
the Northwest and Great Plains
areas. Timely rains aided corn.
Good gains over last years reduced
yields, however seem certain in
most crops, but burdensome sur
pluses are not indicated in foods.
With fewer labor troubles and
the advance of the crop season, the
map tends to brighten up a bit.
The July barometer rose only a
trifle over June, the decrease in
carloadings factor, mainly due to
short 1884 crops, tending to balance
gains elsewhere.

Sister Names Brother De- fendant in $25,OOO Ace
 ton Over Realty

Damages of $25,O0O are claimed in civil action instituted today in superior court by Mrs. Lena M. Parker of Watertown against her brother Edgard H. Platt of Water town. A valuable pece of property with buildings in Watertown which is shown in the complaint to have been transferred back and forth several times since 1905, is the bas- is for the suit.
 The complaint, prepared by At torney Edward F. Sweeney, says that on Oct. 12, 1905, the plaintiff, minor, then, was living with her mother, the late Mrs. Lucy M. Platt, who was guardian of the plaintiffs estate.
 On that date, Augustus Mathews of ThomaSton sold the property in- volved to the plaintiff and her mother. The complaint says it was resold back to Mathews by the plaintiffs mother, without consent of t',e probate court at Watertown.
 The property was again sold back to the plaintiffs mother on Jan. g, 1906.
 The property, through deeds, is now in possession of the defendant, Edgar H. Platt. The plaintiff asks the superior court to issue an or- der requiring the defendant to turn the property back to the plaintiff. The case is returnable to court the first Tuesday of Decem- Der.
