REDUCED VALUE OF RYS. CONFISCATION MES MOINES, Sept. 13.—The reduction of $6 per cent in railroad valuations for the purpose of raising rates as proposed by Senator Brookhart and other progressive leaders, would amount to a confiscatory act by the government which is prohibited by the constitution, Samuel Felton president of the Chicago and Great Western railroad, said in an address here at Oelwein's golden Jubilee celebration today. "The policy of the government itself has reduced the value of railroad securities" Felton said. "Under government operation the operating expenses of railroads were increased more than their rates. "A reduction of valuations of western railroads, such as proposed would have little effect on their rates at present. The reason is that during six months of this year, it took 85 cents out of every dollar they earned to pay their expenses and equipment and joint facility rents. A reduction of the valuation would, of course, have no effect whatever on that part of the rate they must charge to earn enough to pay these things and would therefore not affect 88 per cent of their rates. Another reason is that the western railroads have not yet this year earned the 5-3-4 per cent return which the Interstate Commerce commission has held they are entitled to, but only at the annual rate of 4.2 per cent."

CHAPERONES GIRLS TAKEN FROM HAREM NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Chaperoning 120 Armenian girls released from Arab harema in Syria during the Allied offensive in Asia Minor was only one of an infinite variety of tasks coming under the head of child care in war-time and one of the most novel assignments that came within the experience of Mrs. Melville Chater, a European relief worker just back in this country, who recently told the story of her five years stay in Turkey and Armenia to the American Child Health Association. The girls were freed by General Allenby's order during the British occupation at the insistent appeal of Armenian parents whose daughters had been forcibly taken as Moslem wives. They were gathered in two cities may build own power lines SAN DIEGO, Sept. 13.—The California League of Municipalities convention in session at Coronado, was expected late today to recommend state legislation that would enable cities to issue bonds for building their own distributing lines to carry power from the proposed Boulder Canyon dam. Such action would be considered the first shot by municipal ownership proponents against the power companies in the fight for control of Boulder Dam light and power distribution. Mayor S. C. Evans of Riverside, chairman of the resolutions committee, was expected to report out a resolution recommending the cities enabling legislation late this afternoon. Congressman Phillip Swing, author of the bill now pending in Congress to provide for federal construction and operation of the dam, delivered a lengthy address on the subject today. Fred C. Wheeler, chairman of the Los Angeles Public Works committee, supported Mr. Swing. Boyle Workman, president of the Los Angeles city council, described city development and control of the San Pedro harbor, and reviewed waterfront conditions in other cities by way of comparison.

Oh, it was heart-reading, the story he told. Starvation just around the corner. No bread. No meat—why, his family would have forgotten what meat looked like if it weren't for the packers' advertisements on the signboards. Yes, it was a terrible tale. The police listening to him, thought of Arttie explorers who dined on fillet mignon made of the soles of their own boots. They thought of the poor fruit dealer who had no bananas. And they fed John Palloto. They sent great baskets of meat and vegetables to his home. But always he came back for more. So it happened that the police began to suspect they were feeding a rathole. A social worker was sent to investigate. Stored in the Pallato cellar they found: Seventeen bags-of flour. Seventy-five cans of tomatoes. Twenty-five pounds of coffee.

NIPPON FINANCIAL SITUATION, BETTER MANILA Sept. 13.—Notwithstanding the extensive destruction spread thruout 20,000 square miles of the veritable backbone region of Japan, the financial situation in the island empire is rapidly recovering from the general depression immediately following the disaster of Sept. 1, accord- ing to an official report sent the Japanese consul here today from the Kyoto foreign office. Several of the larger banks of the devastated area are already carrying on credit transactions in accordance with the terms of the moratorium or-dinance postponing all large bank payments for a period of thirty days, the official report says. Among the institutions carrying on business atoday are mentioned the Bank of Japan, branches of the Yokohama Specie Bank and the Kogyo Taiwan Mitsubishi and Sumitomo banking houses. An emergency issue of bank notes by the Bank of Japan will materially aid scores of smaller banks in the earthquake districts to rapidly get back to normal conditions, according to the foreign office statement. FEED THE BRUTE PROFESSOR'S ADVICE SYRACUSE, N. Y. Sept. 13.—Tie your matrimonial chariot to a New England breakfast if you will, but never to a dietician, is the advice of Professor Charles Knapp, of Syracuse University, politic scientist, who doesn't limit his political investigations to Congress et al., but believes that the home is the soul of the nation and the refrigerator content the surest path away from the divorce court. There is a further cure for what the divorce courts term incompatibility and domestic vocabularies have dubbed irascibility, irritability, exasperation and what-not—namely, Professor Knapp says, exercise. Plenty of outdoor exercise will take the sting out of many a cutting remark made over the breakfast table by Mrs. Wife and Mr. Husband. But the breakfast table, the university professor finds is magnified in being chosen by fiction ar- SHORTAGE DELAYS ANAHEIM BUILDING Shortages of plasterers and metal lathers and slow deliveries of terra cotta, marble, tile and granite are interfering with operations on certain buildings here, it was declared today by men connected with the building lines. The building trades mechanics declare they can obtain better money in Los Angeles and can work longer hours because they have no time consumed in stage travel. They prefer the big city because of its attractions one man here said. The new Kraemer building is the principal one suffering here, but others have been mentioned from time to time. Completion of the building is being delayed by the difficulty of obtaining mechanics, according to L. R. Wilson of Wilson and Bever, contractors. Ordinary materials, such as brick, lumber, etc., can be secured without much trouble. Much of the trouble is due to the fact that the entire Southland is enjoying an extraordinary building activity. 3000-MARK STAMPS ON GERMAN LETTER A letter from Germany with three 1000-mark stamps on it, which reached County Clerk Joe Backs' office today, showed that reports of the depreciation of the mark are not exaggerated.
