For Competitive Bids
In Sale Of Rail Bonds
BY the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission yesterday ordered an inves-
tigation into the question OF whether
it should require competitive bidding
in the sale of railroad securities,
but refused rehearing in the sale
OF $28, ,484 900 Of bonds by Penn
sylvania Railroad subsidiary.
Ordering of the investigation rep
resented major victory for Otis g.
Co., Cleveland investment house,
which had intervened In opposition
to approval Of the issue Of 3% per
cent bonds by the Pennsylvania,
Ohio e. Detroit Railroad Co. AL
though 1t lost this particular point,
1t won action on Western banking
houses demands that railroad secu-
rites, like equipment trust notes,
should be submitted to competitive
| bidding.
Otis & Co., with which the finan-
cier Cyrus Eaton is associated, was
a leader in the battle which ended
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission issuing an order which
requires competitive bidding in the
sale of most utilities securities.
The bonds which were the center
OF the current proceedings already
have been sold to a syndicate
headed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., New
York bankers. The agreement by
which the Pennsylvania Railroad
as the parent company, sold the
issue and agreed to assume obliga-
ton for it, was reached through
private negotiations among the is
suer, the guarantor and the bank
ers, the historic manner for
arranging railroad financing.

Harry James was washed up in
his career at the age of six
Up to then, he had been a shin
ing light in the Christy Bros.
Circus, of which his father was No.
! bandmaster and his mother a
trapeze artist. Harry had been
billed as the youngest contortionist
in the business" He was an infant
eel, a childish pretzel. The Gus
toners loved him.
Then came a mastoid operation
and the doctors declared morato-
rum on odd physical convolutions.
The ex-star was desolate until his
father came to the rescue, thrust a
pair of drum sticks in his hand and
instructed him in keeping time.
From then on, young Harry was a
musician.
But his real ability wasn't mani
tested until he was given a trumpet
at the age of nine Shortly after,
the beautiful high wire queen found
- new note in the corny music be-
meath her act. Harry was a member
of the circus band.
His father saw to it that he had
lessons. Lennie Hayton, one of the
finest musical directors in Holly
wood, says he is extremely we'll
grounded" In his early teens, Har-
ry took over the No. musical group
of the show, donned a braid-covered
coat and went to town.
When the big top began to see
lean days, the James family retired
to Texas. There, Harry attended
school and began beating it out
with some of the boys-not oompah-
oompah but jazz. The world was
just discovering it.
Ben Pollack offered him a job
And. on Christmas Day, 1887, Harry
got a wire from Goodman to join
him in New York. James was in the
big time.
His own band came into being
three years later. He borrowed
$4,000 from Goodman (thus giving

CHARGED WITH BREAKING
INTO A STORE ON UNIT
ED STREET

Emerson Gallagher. a 14-year-
old negro boy, was arrested yes
terday afternoon on a charge of
breaking into a grocery store at
United and Simonton streets.
The proprietor said that a few
minutes before the boy was
caught, he entered the store and
asked to borrow a monkeywrench
to screw up a nut on his bicycle,
which, it was learned later, he did
not possess. The proprietor added
that he noticed that the boy shift
ed his eyes to the back of the store,
while he was asking about the
wrench, but nothing. avs further
thought about the matter.
Shortly afterward a woman,
who lives across the street, saw the
boy break open back door win
dow and climb into the store. The
burglar was arrested, and a few
minutes later Constable Ray At
well and Policemen Eugene Her
nandez and Hector Castro reach
ed the store in time to see the boy
running away. He was overtaken
by Hernandez.
Gallagher will be arraigned this
afternoon before Justice of the
Peace Enrique Esquinaldo.

TAMPA TAXPAYERS
PROTEST AGAINST
ASSESSMENT ROLL
COMPLAINTS FILED COVER
PROPERTIES SITUATED IN
VARIOUS PARTS OF HILLS.
BOROUGH COUNTY

TAMPA, Jan. undetermined
Hillsborough County taxpayers
went to the mat with Comptrol-
Ter j. M. Lee last week in an eff
fort to protect themselves from
the inequality and injustice evil
denced by his position in permit
ting county commissioners to
assess only so-called live" prop
erty and thus force honest tax
payers to assume the additional
burden represented by property
left off the tax, roll and CLASH
fled as dead.
In a letter to Lee, George Len
festy, president of the Florida
Taxpayers Association, speaking
for his organization, repeated his
threat to enjoin the Hillsborough
County tax roll unless the injus-
tlce is corrected and backed I'D
his demand, with a recent opin-
ion of Attorney General Tom
Watson which concurs with the
position of the Taxpayers Asso-
citation, that "all" property should
be included on the roll.
Lenfesty further points out
that this position is also sup
ported by State Auditor Bryan
Willis.
Hillsborough County Commits
sioners, Indifferent to the Tax
payers demand, state that their
method of making up the tax
roll is approved by Comptroller
Lee and is the same as is prac-
ticed throughout the state, and
they urge that the tax group 60
ahead and sue.
Consistent efforts of Attorney
General Watson to eliminate in
justices and inequalities in the
states method Of assessment was
primarily responsible for the fl
nal adjustment of outstanding
railroad taxes that had been con-
tested for years, and the Tax
payers Association feels that it
can depend on his continued eff
fort on behalf of the small tax
payer as well.

SION TOMORROW

IN Paul G. Albury has called /;
Injecting of all grocers, othel
business men and residents gen
orally who are interested, to bt
held at 8 o'clock tomorrow eve
ming in the City Hall to consider
the food situation in Key West
which he said is fast approaching
an acute stage.
we are dependent on Miam
for most of our commodities. 9
Mr.. Albury said, "and Miami
wholesalers, naturally, are taking
care OF Miami and nearby terri.
tory first. Here is a good idea
OF how that affects us in Kew
West. l was in Miami Saturday
and visited two wholesale beef
centers. Quarters of beef hung
from the hooks and, at one es-
adjustment, four trucks, loaded
with beef, were pulling out for
deliveries but not one ounce of
that beef could be obtained for
Key West.
That makes our situation dan
gerouS, and it will continue to
get worse when other essential
foodstuffs, in addition to sugar
and coffee, are put on the ra-
tioning list. 1t will mean that
we will be thrown back, in hav-
ing our needs estimated, to the
total of our consumption in 1910.
That will be most unfair to us.
because our population has dou-
Died since that time, and we will
surely need many of the essen
tials of life should such an order
be kept into effect, particularly
so IL we continue to depend al
most wholly on Miami for our
foodstuffs, as we are at present.
We must take action, and we
have got no time to lose. So
call on the people of Key West
to be present at the meeting to-
morrow evening, so that we can
formulate plans to assure us an
adequate food supply. If neces-
sray, we should name a commit
tee to 60 to Washington to act
in our behalf, -.
Mr.. Albury explained that the
purpose is to organize the Key
West Protective Association for
the duration of the war.
