MOVE TO SPEED UP PLANS FOR RAIIJERGERS Definite Solution Believed Near on Problem After Big Four 0. K. Consolidation of the milroad3 into ■' Store unified system* U now. after .sewral l Tear* of discussion, reaching tha atm** of major development. This will con- | atttute a stage in the development, of f the nation's railroads the most Irrrpor- ! tant since the era of railroad 1 building I which resulted in spanning the dnatinent 1 by rail. Following is the first of two- dlsi patches describing the broad outline of the consolidation situation. The second [' dispatch will describe the important and colorful personalities involved. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Railroad consolidation, one of the most importatnt and vexing questions that has faced the Coolidge administration, is believed by railway authorities here to be approaching some definite solution. Both President Coolidge and President-Elect Hoover are anxious to have the legislative angle of “the merger problem’’ cleared up prior to next March 4. The administration Is pushing a movement in congress to have action this session on the pending Fess and Parker bills. These identical bills would permit the interstate commerce commission to approve a general unification plan proposed by railroads. O. K. New York Central Plan In the transportation act of 1920 was a much debated clause requiring the commission to formulate and publish a general merger plan i for the nation’s railways. All subsequent mergers were to conform, to this general plan drafted by the government body. For various reasons, the commission never has promulgated a complete plan and. has three times asked congress to be relieved of this duty. Passage of either the Fess or Parker bill, it generally is agreed, would be the first major step to-’ ward completion of a national consolidation plan taking care of all major and short line railroads. Senator Fess <Rep., O.) has said a senate subcommittee is prepared to make a favorable report on his bill. Shippers, he added, are backing the bill, but railway executives are not a unit behind it. The most important individual merger now pending before the commission w r as settled Saturday when the commission authorized the New York Central to acquire, under ninety-year leases, the roads forming the Big Four system. Coolidge Impatient The merged properties will form a system 11,000 miles long, extending from New York to Chicago and with wide ramifications in middle-west-ern and eastern states and Canada. Six short lines also will be part of the system when the merger is effected under terms of the commission’s authorization. Issuance of the commission's decision in the New York Central unification came just twenty-four hours after President Coolidge had let it be known that he is impatient with dilatory tactics of the commission. The White House viewpoint also favored early action on a general unification plan. President Coolidge’s reported expression, together with the known attitude of Hoover, are considered here to point toward some disposition of the merger problem in either this administration or early in the next. In public speeches. Hoover frequently has described railway consolidation as a “national necessity.” He also was active in framing terms of the Fess and Parker bills. Marshal Foch Is Better Bu United Press PARIS, Jan. 28.—Marshal Ferdinand Foch was improved today after a recurrence of his heart attacks Sunday, his physicians announced. Although he still cannot receive visitors, Foch will be allowed to sit up for a short while during the day. physicians said.

Thaw was arrested in a raid by federal prohibition officers on a night club on the fringe of Harlem, where she has been singing and managing a revue. Miss Nesbit was to be arraigned today on a charge of acting in concert with Harry Cohen, a waiter, in the sale of liquor. The raid was staged in the presence of some 400 revelers, many of whom dodged to the exits in the excitement, leaving unpaid bills behind them. Besides Miss Nesbit and Cohen, three others, including Joe Ward, the proprietor, were arrested. The party spent more than an hour in a west side police station early Sunday before bail was arranged. The leaders of the raiders posed as a “big realtor” from Hartford, Conn. After he had dined and danced, he called in his assistants and the raid was on.

SCIENTIST CLAIMS EINSTEIN’S LAURELS St. Paul Man Says He, Not German, Discovered Theory. Bu United Press ST. PAUL, Jan. 28.—Dr. Arvid Reuterdahl, St. Paul scientist, who has charged that he, not Einstein, was the author of the now widely discussed "unitary field theory,” renewed today his criticism of the eminent German. In a previous statement Reuterdahl quoted from his own works of 1902, 1905 and 1915 in an attempt to prove that he was the first to announce that electricity and gravitation were not separate forces, but were related. The American said today those works might well have been known to Einstein since some of them were in the hands of Mitta Heffler, Stockholm friend of the German scientist, and one with whom he corresponded. “Einsten’s new theory basically is the same as that expressed by myself twenty-seven years ago,” Reuterdahl said, “but his whole fabric is spun out of the cobwebs of his fallacious relativistic mathematics.”

BANK TELLERS WORRY ABOUT NEWJJURRENCY Small Size Will Make Work Harder for Bankers With Big Hands. BY ARCH STEINEL Weekly a million dollar bag of laundry is sent out of Indianapolis for renovation, but beginning April 30, and continuing until July 1, the city will have dirty linen. For the laundry—the treasury department—has announced that the city’s soiled linens—paper currency —will not be cleansed. At present Uncle Samuel accepts approximately $1,000,000 in mutilated, worn and dirty greenbacks every week from city banks. Unc’ the Launderer gives the banks new bills, or ones rejuvenated by cleansing processes. But with the introduction on July 1 of the new issue of smaller greenbacks—currency the size of cigar-store coupons—Unc’s laundry will take a sixty-day lay-off in an effort to wear out the old currency before the new is placed in circulation. Worry for Tellers

It is estimated that within the sixty days the old fiber pleated bosoms adored by alimony hounds will be as thin as a “stepin.” “No money will be issued by the treasury during those sixty days. The old bills will be forced by usage out of circulation,” one banker said. While citizenry face the need of a mucilage pot, light-fingered handling, and the danger of mistaking the worn out bills for cooked spinach, the bankers will spend the sixty days—in fact are doing some of it now—worrying about the smallness of the new currency. “Don’t tell me Uncle Sam Isn’t joining the feminist catering movement. Those new bills are ‘she’s’ not ‘he’s,’ ” one banker averred. He explained that due to the currency’s small size, tellers with big bands would spend many weary days attempting to count them with rapidity. Cost Time in Banks “They are so small,” he elucidated, “that you can’t thumb them quickly between your fingers. You’ve got to actually pick them like you would a banjo. Chinamen with long fingernails should find it a sinecure to get bank jobs with the new bills in use.” Many of the banks agree that it will necessitate a change in compartments for holding bills. A compartment will be needed for the old bills and one for the new. Lost time in handling the new bills will occur when a depositor hands both old bills and new through the window in the receiving cage. The teller will be forced to separate the two styles of bills. The “he’s” will go in one compartment, the “she’s” in another, like a Sunday school splitting up. During the sixty days germgathering fete for old bills only currency with whiskers on it will be handed out when you cash a check. Boon to Bankers A boon to bankers in the new bills is seen in the one engraving for each denomination. Under the present method of making currency the picture of Washington may be on a $1 bill as well as a $5 or $lO. But the new bills will find our country’s father playing only a $1 bill stand. Jefferson’s likeness will grace the

PORTRAY KAISER ‘PEACE DOVE' AT BIRTHDAY FETE 70-Year-old Exiled Ruler Praised by Pastor at Celebration. By United Press . DOORN, Holland, Jan. 28.—The “emperor of peace” celebrated his 70th birthday in exile at Doom house Sunday surrounded by a semimilitary group of relatives and retainers. Former Kaiser Wilhelm nos Germany, who in an interview with the United Press denied German blame for the World war and selected the text of a birthday sermon in his own praise, gave the Doom burghers a faint glimpse of the Potsdam prewar splendor in exchange for their bouquets, songs and good wishes. Ninety guests gathered at Doom house to congratulate the former emperor. The military uniforms worn by the men helped Wilhelm to live for a day in the atmosphere he enjoyed sixty years until he scurried from his country at the outbreak of the revolution. Princess Is Hostess “Emperor of peace” was the appellation given Wilhelm by the Rev. Dr. Voegel, former court minister, who went into the pulpit yesterday to preach once more to his old charges from a text selected by Wilhelm himself. It was Romans 1:16. Wilhelm’s attempt to make the day a family occasion was marred somewhat by the absence of his wife, Princess Hermine, who was reported confined to her room with chicken pox. She will be ill several days, it was said. Former Crown Princess Cecile assumed the duties of hostess in the place of Hermine. He’s Photographed After Dr. Voegel’s sermon, the former kaiser surrounded himself with his family on the lawn of the castle and a photographer snapped group pictures. Then all went inside

for the birthday dinner at twelve tables. Full dress uniforms were worn throughout the day and the imperial standard of Germany waved 3ver Doom house as it once waved ver the palace at Potsdam. The standard also floated beside the Dutch flag over Doom hotels and over the houses of the former kaiser’s servants. The Hohenzoilem’s gift to the head of their family was five bells which will be placed in a turret of Doom house. Each of the bells was inscribed with a word—“ Empress, ’ “Hohenzollern,” “Loyalty," “Homeland,” and “Bradenburg.” It is the ultra violet rays of the sun which cause sunburn and not the heat.

“SIX BOTTLES OF KONJOLA GAVE ME GLORIOUS HEALTH” Happy Lady Relates How Super-Medicine Ended Eighteen Years of Stomach and Liver Troubles.

seeking in vain for the Temedy they needed, before finding Konjola. There is no mystery, no magic, no secret about Konjola. The whole story of this astonishing medicine is being told daily by th? Konjola Man, who is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he is meeting titose who are ill and who would be veil again. See the Koujola Man; hoar from nim just what this master compound of 32 ingredients—22 of them the medicinal juices of roots and herbs—is doing. That’s the bi?st test, after all, of a medicine —what it has done and what it is doing. Those who are sick want to get well. They want health, not promises. Konjola comes recommended by its performances. Take, for instance, the experience that Mrs. Dema Moesoh, R. R. H., Box 233, Indianapolis, bad with this super-medicine. Happy to be on the road to health again, Mrs. Monson said to the Konjola Man just a few days ago: “Six bottles of Konjola gave me glorious health after I had suffered, fifteen years from two ailments—stomach and liver troubles. These ailments made me extremely nervous. In fact, my health was in a very bad state, generally speaking. My sides were sore and achy, sharp pains pierced my back and under my shoulder blades. I had no pep or energy, cared not a whit for amusements, or whether I did my housework. Every day I was subject to dizzy spells that lasted for an hour or two. Constipation made my health all the worse, by refusing to eliminate the poisons that gathered in my system. I was worried for fear that there was no hope for me. “I had been reading the papers about the wonderful accomplishments of this new Konjola. Tha indorsements were so sincere that I felt it might benefit me and I decided to find out what it wouid do. I have now taken six bottles and with the completing of each one, I could feel a wonderful change stealing over me. A warm glow of health seemed to flow through my body. I gained in strength, weight and energy. I am free of all pains, dizzy pells and that worn-out, tired leelng My liver and stomach function perfectly. I will be glad to personally recommend Konjola to any one who cares to call me at Cherry 4312, Ring 2, for information.” Just another proof of Konjola’* merits, of its amazing powers in cases that have resisted all other medicines. One does not have to wait long for results and when they do come, they are not merely temporary. Take, this road to health—every day of delay simply means another day of suffering. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he it meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this mas ter meuiaue v eiUftemeat.
