received at American Red Cross head

McADOO TO AIR VIEWS
ON PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 3. A public
statement, based on practical knowl
edge, setting forth his views on gov
ernment ownership of railroads and
other public utilities will in all prob
ability be made by Director General of
Railroads McAdoo before his retire
ment from office. He let this be made
known before leaving here for a con
tinuation of his tour of the South.
He said that when he was ready with
his conclusion, based on practical ex
perience in handling the railroads of
the country during the war period, he
may have something to say on what he
considers the most feasible solution of
the public utilities question.
"I am glad somebody appreciates my
financial condition." was his only com
ment when told of the action of St.
, Louis railroad men pledging $2,000 a
month to keep him on the job.

Mann Will Fight Scheme
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. Represen
tative James Mann, the house Republi
can leader, flatly denounced the resolu
tion to install Vice-President Marshall
in the White House while Wilson is
abroad. Mann declared himself as
wholly out of sympathy with the at
tempt to embarrass the president while
on a peace mission and he promised
there would be no concerted attempt of
the Republicans in the house to ques
tion the constitutionality of the presi
dent's trip. Factional strife at home
should not be allowed to give the im
pression that the American people are,
divided on peace issues, he declared.
GREATER CARSON CLUB
KEEPS UP ITS WORK
With President Ben W. Coleman in
the chair, the Greater Carson Club held
an interesting meeting at the court
house last evening, and though a large
membership was not present only the
same old crowd that is working against
all kinds of difficulties in their en
deavors to make something of the town
a number of things were suggested
and' discussed that if carried out will
result in untold benefits to town and
county.
Following the reading of the minutes
of the previous meeting matters relat
ing to the establishment of a post route
between this city and Glenbrook, the
improvement of the Kings canyon road
and the appointment of a legislative .
committee to work with the assembly
man and senator-elect were taken up
and referred to their proper channels.
One of the main matters discussed
was that of the condition of the great
number of houses in the city that are
for rent, for which good prices are ask
ed, but are so unpresentable, so ancient
and so devoid of modern conveniences
that rentors will not give them the sec
ond glance.
To remedy this condition the sugges
tion was made that landlords Who ex
press themselves as being unable finan
cially to make needed improvements to
their properties be asked to put a price
on their holdings and sell them on rent
al payments and action along this line
will be taken.
One of the noticeable features of the
meeting was the absence, with one ex
ception, of all city and county officials.
The next meeting of the club will be
held on Monday evening, December 16,
when it is hoped a larger gathering will
be present.
