Speaker Says Cleveland to Have
About Same Ball Club.
Cleveland, Jfcn. 14. — UP) —That
baseball team that will represent
Cleveland this year will be little dif
ferent from the 1925 squad because,
says Manager Trie Speaker, “Cleve
land had, a far better ballclub than
it showed in 1924 and 1925.”
Trie issues the warning that /he
Indians are likely to hurdle three" or
four teams in the 1926 finish.
“We had a lot of tough luck and
played considerable bad ball,” said
Speaker, 4 “but we have had two
seasons of it and I have efery rea
son to believe we will get squared
away in 1926.
“We need only one more big
wallop at the bat to help out Joe
Sewell, George Buffis and myself.
Between the three of us we account
ed for 270 runs last year. If Charlie
Jamieson dos the things I expect of
him, we’ll make things hum this
year.”
There are thirty-one playbre on the
Indians reserve roster and thirty of
these wil be ordered to spring train
ing. The list is composed of four
catchers, twelve pitchers, seven in
fielders, and six outfielders.

dend of 900 Per Cent.
New York World.
A stock dividend of 900 per cent—!
one of the largest ever granted to de-,
lighted stockholders —waR announced I
last evening by the Nash
Company. The corporation ht one
of the outstanding successes of the au
tomobile industry. Its common stock,
climaxing remarkable advances on the
New York Stock Exchange through
out the last year, leaped 52 points
yesterday to $517 a share.
This is an advance of $32.50 a share
from the 1925 low price of $19.50 n
share. The stock sold at S9O a share
in 1924. In the latter year, when the
company wae only six years old, it
gave each owner of one common
share four additional shares of eom-|
mon and three of preferred stock, j
Natfh, which has made fortunes fori
its consistent followers, paid cash]
dividends of S2O a share on commQngj
stock la«t year. It is the intentioh
of the company to continue paying
the same total of dividends, establish
ing a rate of $2 a share annually af
ter the additional stock is issued oil a
ratio of nine new shares for each
share now held.
Participating in the record prosper
ity of 1925, the company sold 93,000
cars and earned a net profit of more
than $16,000,000. It set aside ap
proximately $8,500,000 for retirement
of preferred stock and yet at the close
of Che year had on hand more thon
$24,000,000 in cash or government se
curities.
This cash total is almost half of
the corporation's total assess—an un*-*

tal obligations are carried on the bal
ance sheet at $9,640,400. There are
reserves of more than $12,000,000
and surplus of approximately $25,-
000,000.
Other companies in the automotive
industry also' have dealt handsomely
with stockholders recently. The
Chrysler Company has split its stock
on a basis of four new shares for one
of the old stock. -General Motors has
paid a huge total in extra cash divi
dends. Mack Trucks, Inc., following

TO DISCONTINUE LOADING

Drivers to Pull Off Highway to Load

Greensboro, Jan. 14.— UP) —Since
publication of the fact that Cole'mkri

, man Frank Page, of the State high
' way commission, asking him to
bus operators to discontinue loading
and unloading passengers on the high

Carolina Motor Coach Compopy, has
announced that his company will take
steps to remedy the situation, with
out waiting for an order.
“Section 9 and 10 of State highway
commission ordinances,”' wrote Mr.
Roberts to the highway commission
chairman, “provide that no motor ve

I means also that no motor vehicle
I may be loaded or served by-,’ a filling

“The motor busses constantly vio
late this ordinance. They do not pull
off the highway for loading and dis
charging passengers, all of'which has
resulted in a number of accidents with
which we are familiar. The custom
of these large busses stopping on the
highway without warning to the other
cars following is dangerous, and we
ask that you issue instruction to the
bus operators to discontinue Ruch
practice.
“We would also like to call your at
tention to a number of instances
where filling stations and garages are
built so close to the highway that a
Tar may stop on the right-of-way for
gasoline service. This is dangerous.
We would be glad to furnish >ou with
locations of* such hazards if you
would care for them.”
The (Jarlonia M°tor Coach Com
pany operotes lines from -Raleigh to
Greensboro and Raleigh to Rocky
Mount, and Mr. Kraemer states that
about 100 stops are now made be
tween Greensboro and Raleigh. He
plans to designate specific stops for
busses and erect signs at zuch places.
Drivers will be instructed to pull off
the highway to load and unload pas
sengers, he says.

Followed Mr. Maddry.
Chapel Hill, Jan. 14.—(>P)—A pol
icy of perfect frankness with reference
to the news of the University of North
Carolina is one of the things that has
enabled the University to win the con
fidence of the people, Robert W. Mad
dry, director of the University News
bureau, said here today in an ad
dress before the State newspaper in
stitute in session here.
Mr. Maddry waR speaking on “Prob
lems of the College Correspondents.”
“Any educational institution that
adopts a policy of non-censorship of
news is certain to get unfavorable
publicity now and then, but if the in
stitute is making real progress,” de
clared the speaker, “the favorable pub
licity will in the long run offset the
unfavorable kind.”
Mr. Maddry emphasized that the
University has never made any at
tempt to suppress any news relating
to the University. ' And he cited as
an example of this the fact that, he
•said, the newspapers .of the state first
learned of the suspension of the Uni

to injure the institution.
The obligations of the news bureau

CYPRESS SWAMPS YIELD
MOST VALUABLE TIMBER
But Heretofore Have Not Been Re
garded as Valuable for Reforesta
tion.
New Orleans, Jan. 14.— (4 s ) —
Cypress swamps of the South have
yielded richly in valuable timber,
but have never heretofore been re
garded as profitable for reforestation-
The “wood etetnal”, as it has been
advertised, has been cut out clean,
leaving only the “poor relations” of
the swamp land, chiefly tupelo gum,
a tree long considered to be of very
little worth.
Now comes a forester, E. W.
Hadley, of the Southern Forest Ex
periment Station, to say that tupelo
gum, the Cinderella of the swamps,
is coming into its own silvieulturally
and may be the savior of these dis
mal areas. Cypress will not repro
duce rapidly or dependably enough
to make, reforestation possible there,
but tupelo reproduces promptly and
adquately. The growth of industry in
the South and the demand elsewhere
for southern woods promise an out
let Y)r this wood- Tupelo gum, it is
now pointed out, is used by the mil
lions of board feet for boxes, crates,
and veneer. It is beginning to be
sought as a paper pulp wood.
The total area of cypress hard
wood land is estimated as 32 mil
lions of acres, or more than one
fourth the area of the combined
southern pine forests. On the land
already cut oover are plenty of
tupelo seed trees,and practically
none of cypress.
Stands of tupelo y in the lower
Atchalalaya River basin of Louisiana
are growing at the rate of one cord
of peeled wood to the acre each year,
according lo the forest service of the
United States Department of Agri
culture. This is almost the average
rate of growth of the southern pines.
Veteran Divorces Judges Commend
Proposed Laws.
Chicago, Jan. 14.— UP) —Five Cook
County judges in a state which had
the second largest number of df-
unanimous in commend
ing the federal divorce bill, inasmuch
as it attempts to introduce uniform
divorce laws throughout the nation.
The bill, introduced 'by Senator
Arthur Capper of Kansas, allows
only five causes for divorce —un-
faithfulness. cruelty, desertion for a
year, insanity an<| conviction of a
felony.
The Chicago jurists, who have
heard approximately 75.000 divorce
petitions filed in this district alone
in the last five years, suggest modi
fications and amendments to the
Capper bill.
Judge Harry .A. Lewis, who
astounded feminine divorce seekers
some time ago by declaring he would
grant no alimony to women in good
health who. had no children, went in
to some detail in proposing improve
ments on the Senate bill.
“The strongest proof should be
required for the charges of cruelty
and insanity, which are causes for
divorce in. the bill,” he said. Fraud
is likely to creep into such cases.”

sumption for. December than expected
were reflected by opening advances of
4 or 5 points in the cotton market
today. May sold up IS 19 53 and

prices seemed to bring' on Southern

half the improvement was lost before

cotton prices. Egyptian futures in
Liverpool were 57 to 02 points high

BASEBALL TO THE FORE
IN KANNAPOLIS AGAIN
Business of Electing a Manager For
the Team Will Come Up Saturday
Nignt at the Meeting.
Baseball is one more beginning to
be talked in Kannapolis apd the
business men of that city, who are
expected to finance another year’s
games, scheduled for a meeting
Saturday, the purpose of which is
to select a manager for the team.
In addition to the business of
making arrangements for the sum
mer sport, the aesthetic side will
not be neglected and Miss Laura
Dilling, of Gastonia, a prominent
singer will render a number of select
tions. Mias Dilling is said to have a
remarkable voice and has permormed
on many occasions.
Four names have been received by
the pannapolis magnates. All are
well-known in this community.
Red Ervin, former High Point.
Durham and Greensboro player, has
placed a bid for the position and
will receive serious consideration
from the baseball moguls in session.
Ervin was a member of the pennent
winning team in the Piedmont Lea
gue for four consecutive years, it is
said. •
' Hodge, who held down second sack
for the Towelers last summer is al
so auxious to play on the team and
take the helm. His work during the
past season was conspicuous and he
was voted one of the most valuable
players on the team.
Hawn, who played several games
for Gibson and who is a Cotton
State League player, is said to want
to mapage the. Cabarrus players. Tlis
work when he played for Concord
was outstanding. He formerly played
for Spartanburg in the Sally League.
Wood has also sent in his name
and will be a good prospect. Other
players will .probably receive atten
tion before a final decision is made.
, Much interest is being shown by
the fans of Kannapolis in the selec
tion and an effort will be made to
put out another winning combina
tion. The Kannapolis 'earn last
year was runner-up for the state
ameteur championship.

vernal intensity, the world court is
sue is back on the Senate floor for

Minnesota, requesting the state de
partment to supply copies of all cor
respondence between government de
partments and between the govern
ment and the League of Nations re>-
garding American adherence to the

obligations of any of them and the'
Monroe Doctrine.
CHRYSLER PRICES OCT.
Regarded as Sustaining naifldenoe
of President Chrysler in Ability to
Surpass Existing Values.
New York Mirror.
The question that has been on the
lips of thousands who have thronged
the' Chrysler display places at the
National Automobile Show in Grand
Central Palace and the lobby of the
Commodore Hotel: “What is the

its answer.
The figures announced by J. E.
Fields, Wee-president in charge k>f
sale*, are bound to create a seiwa
tion second only to the introduction
of the car itself. Here they are:
Phaeton, $2,045; roadster, two to
four passengers, $2,885;' coupe, four
passengers. $3.195; sedan, five pas
sengers, $3.395; sedan, seven passen
gers, $3,595; sedan limousine, $3,-
695. These prices all f. o. b- Detroit.
Many perfitfivt who placed their
orders before this announcement had
figH confidence in the statement made
by Walter P. Chrysler, president,
only a short time ago, that he-felt
sure that cars of this quality and
character, surpassing in performance
and luxury the existing standards of
America and Europe, could be pro
duced at much lower cost. The price
of the Chrysler Imperial “80” id far
less than the cars that hitherto have
been regarded as luxury cars in this
country.
“The phenomenally low prjoes’ at
which the pew Chrysler Imperial
‘SO* is now offered to the public,”
says Mr. Fields, “is. I believe, anoth
er proof of the unusual Chrysler
manufacturing and engineering gen
ius.
