TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL

By Associated Press
Desmoines, June 29.—Owners and
users of grade and pure bred horses
■will have an opportunity at this year’s
Iowa State Fair to determine how
much a team can pull through a seri-
es of scientific tests to be conducted

A specially constructed wagon has
been designed for the tests by the
engineering department of Iowa State
college. By means of gears and a hy-
draulic pump, driven from the wheels,
It will be possible to put on any pre-
determined load and maintain uni-

said the .American public rapidly is
taking notice of the action of the inter-
state commission In its move toward
consolidation.
Splawu explained that Texas would

proposal. He favored elimination of the
Frlsco-Katy groupe entirely, declaring
It is objectional.
"Congress has in mind improvement
of the whole transportation situation
when it' provided for consoldatin,’’
Splawn said. “Whether or not that
aim is realized will depend upon the
wisdom of the plan finally prepared
by the Interstate Commission. Such
a plan as that tentatively proposed
would noe appreciably change the sit-

MORE TROOPS SENT
TO HENRYETTA, OKLA.
By Associated Frees
Henryetta, Okla., June 30.—The
handful of state troops on duty in the
portion of Okmulgee county remain-
ing under martial law, was augment-
ed today when the company of nation-
al guardsmen which was jpobillzed In
Okmulgee last night, came here in
motor trucks.
An advertisement appearing in local
newspaper yesterday announcing two
lectures to be delivered Sunday by
Rev. Cornelius Bowles, a Henryetta
minister, on the situation In Okmul-
gee county resulting in the proclama-
tion of martial law, is believed respon-
sible for the unexpected orders send-
nig troops here. The advertisement,
which was signed by Bowles, declar-
ed that the county “had been imposed
on by the self-appointed committee,
governor and the lawless element.’’
The chief of police and sherifT 1n~
formed the adjutant general that ef-
forts to dissuade the minister from
his intention to speak had been una-
vailing, and believed that the forcos
should be strengthened to enable them
to prevent the meetings. They are
said to have told the adjutant general
that they feared untoward results if
the meetings were permitted.
MORTOR REGISTRATIONS
WILL EXCEED LAST YEAR
each successive trial until the maxi-
mum is reached.
Whipping or shouting will disquali-
fy an entry; all horses will be given a
veterinary examination, and represen-
tatives of humane agencies will be
present to forestall any charge of
abuse.
"Horsepower has been a standard
of power measurement for centurieis,
but little research work on the pulling
power of horses and mules has been
carried on scientifically, bacause of
. the difficulty In providing uniform
tractive resistance,’’ said the manage-
ment. This we expect to determine.’’

By Aasociaiea rress
Galveston, Texas,’ June 29.—Despite
the fact that the Galveston Sand
Crabs of the Texas Leakue are now
in seventh place it is the belief oi Pat
Newman, Galveston manager, that the
islanders will be well up in the race
before the 1923 season goes down in
the record books. Newman declined
to predict just where the Crabs will
finish.
“There are seven teams bunched
to such an extent now that a week’s
play may turn the tide and set the
standings upside down,” said New-
man today. “The present standings
don’t count for a great deal. Fort
Worth, Wichita Fall and San Antonio
are ail teams with lots of inherent
strength. Anyone of these three is
likely to break the tape.
"But don’t count the aSndcrabs down
and out. We have had lots of bad
breaks this spring, but now the team
Is moulded, and I believe we are set
to get going.

home, seats 3,000 persons in the grand-
stand and bleachers. More than 6300

INCREASE SHOWING IN
INTANGIBLE VALUES
Austin, Texas, June 30.—Evidence
that the intangible assets system of
taxation is advisable to other sys-
tems including the gross receipt tax
plan, is shown b ythe summary of
valuations of intangible properties for
1923 on rairoads just completed, ac-
cording to tSate Tax Commissioner
John G. Willacy. The report showed
an increase in intagible values for
this class during the present year over
1922 of $513,000.
Commissioner Willacy pointed out
that although the receipts of the vari-
ous railroads for the year decreased
several millions of dollars the intan-
gible values increased. The state will
receive from taxes on intangibles ap-
proximately $600,000 during the com-
ing year, Willacy estimated, while
couties of the state will receive about
$1,0100,000. Fo rehttast DAeso,51(v

increase of about $15,000. The in-
Detroit, June 29.—The aerial Arc-
tic hunting trip which a group of Neiw
York and Detroit men planned to
make in a .seaplane some time this
month has been postponed until Au-

The seaplane Polar Bear, in which
the flight is to be made, Is nearly
completed and gasoline supplies al-
ready have been sent along the route
to be followed.
According to C. F. Reddin, who with

ranged the. trip, the fligfit will be over

real and up the Ottawa river to the
Abitibi lakes. From fhere the Moose

tory and James Bay will provide the
way into the Arctic circle
The Polar Bear Is to be equipped
with a powerful wireless telephone
that wl’l keep in touch with Ottawa.
Besides Mr. Uppercu and Mr. Red-
din the party will Include Howard E.
Coffin, Harold H. Emmons, Dr. James
