Macon.—The Hawklnsvllle and Flor ida Southern railway, operating from Hawkinsville to Camilla via Worth, was ordered in the hands of a receiver by Judge H. A. Mathews of the Bibb superior court, The receivership was asked for by the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, which claimed the Hawkinsville line is indebted to it in the sum of $40,000. J udge Math evvs named R. B. Pegram of Atlanta, resident executive officer of the Southern railway, as received. The Hawkinsville and Florida Southern in its answer admitted its insolvency, and it was also admitted that ever since the railroad administration took over the line the road has been operating at a loss of from $10,000 to $18,000 a month. Besides the debt, which is rapidly soaring, the interest on th« bonds is accumulating and the man¬ agement of the road could offer no solution for an even break, The re ceivership stops the interest on the bonds. Hucksters Outwit Housewives Macon.—Macon’s curb market, which opened recently, did not prove to be the howling success that had been predicted, largely for the reason that the hucksters put one over on the women of the city, and bought up all of the produce from the farmers be fore the women appeared on the scene with their market baskets. When about 300 women, armed with market baskets. marched from the city hall to the curb market, they found the entire space occupied huckster wag ons, the majority of farmers having departed for home, and consequently prices were not as low as expected, and the women had their trouble foi nothing, since they could have boughl the same things from wagons right ir. front of their own doors.

S. 1 WASHINGTON TO RECOGNIZE DE LA HUERTA REGIME IF REFORMS ARE ASSURED Mexican Ruler Must Give satisfactory Pledges That He Will Main¬ tain Order Washington.—The Mexican sltua tlon Is receiving more careful study by the American government than has any subject since the Paris peace con ference, it was stated, at the state department. This is with a view to according recognition to De La Huer¬ ta’s provisional government, satisfactory assurances are given that it can and will maintain order and will live up to Its obligations respect ing the protection of the lives and property of foreigners. American officials, it is stated tlioritat'.Vely, are impressed with evident sincerity of the expressions of De La Huerta and of the efforts to bring- about order in Mexico, but they have taken note that the active workers In the various departments of (lie Mexican government have not .been changed and that the newly ap¬ pointed cabinet officers leave the work of their offices chiefly to the same men who conducted the affairs under Carranza. Reports reaching Washington from Mexico City state that foreigners who went to the Mexican capital to com¬ pose the differences between their companies—agricultural, mining and manufacturing—are forced to deal with the very men who hampered ilieir wofk.

Christensen, a Salt Lake City, Utah, lawyer, a mem¬ ber of the committee of forty-eight, was nominated as the presidential candidate for the new farmer-labor party by its convention. Christensen was chosen on the sec¬ ond ballot. Christensen was elected over Dudley Field Malone of New York by a vote of 192.5 to 174.G. The “farmer-labor party was tjre name chosen by the convention of the new political party. Robert LaFollette, Jr., notified the new party leaders that his father would not run under any circumstances on the platform adopted. The., labor group was dominant When the new fusion party adopted a plat form late in the day, July 14, in prep aration for the nomination of candi dates. A minority report from the platfortn committee was sponsored by three 0 f the five representatives of the com m ittee of forty-eight, but was defeat e( i by a vote of slightly less than three to one. The majority report was signed by the flve i abor members of the commit ee on resolutions and two of the par ty of forty-eight’s representatives. It was adopted by a big majority, which, on motion, was made unanimous. Defection from the ranks of the new party began when it was shown that the minority report would be over¬ whelmingly defeated. James Fergu¬ son, former governor of Texas, was the first to openly pull out of the meeting. He was followed by dele-, gates from several states, none of whom were identified with the Labor Party. A near stampede developed when an attempt was made to forestall intro¬ duction of the majority platform re¬ port by the submission to the con¬ vention of a report that was reputed to be acceptable to Senator Robert M. LaFollette. The senator’s friende launched the attack with a declara¬ tion that the convention was boss-rid¬ den and clique-controlled and that the (senator’s own platform ideas had been burled in secret committee meetings. The storm broke with all the fury of a riot and LaFollette delegates were quick to seize the psychological mo¬ ment to spring theiy presidential boom, ’ i — AWARD TO AVERAGE 50% TO 60% OF AMOUNT ASKED BY R. R. BROTHERHOOD8 Indications Are Men Will Not Accept Compromise And General Walk Out Is Feared Chicago.—'The railway labor board, created under the Esch-Cummins transportation act, will hand down, July 20, its first award, Increasing the pay of virtualy all the two million rail¬ road employees of the country. On the eve of the decision, reports from reliable quarters indicated the aw ard would average from 50% to 60% of the amount asked by the men, or be tween five hundred million and sir hundred million dollars of the billion dollar total they sought. Whether an award on the basis re¬ ported would be acceptable to the men, no union officer is prepared to say. Nearly one thousand brotherhood chair* men and executives held an all-day* session recently to discus union affairs, and adjourned till the morning of the 20th of July, when they will receive the board’s report. Feeling of pessimism was evident; when the union leaders met and pri¬ vately they did not hesitate to declare that a general strike was a possibility, Later, however it was virtually cer tain that the union chiefs themselves would not call a strike, but would sub mit the question of accepting or re- , Jeeting the board's award to a referea dum. One of the subjects being discussed ts whether the leaders can hold the men together long enough to submit the award to a referendum vote, as la provided by union rules. Some lead era say the temper of the men is such they doubt whether an immediate walkout unauthorized and uncalled could be averted if the men are not satisfied by the board’s decision. : Working Overtime To Move Cropf Topeka, Kans.—Men employed In thj locomotive shops of the Santa Fe rail¬ road here went on a nine-hour day; adding one hour to regular time, iq order to increase the output of loc<* motives for moving the nation’s grain crops.
