(Asso ciated Press) A protest against extension of government waterway operations was filed by the South em railway today with the inter state commerce commission.

The complaint was aimed direct ly at a project of the Inland Wa terways corporation, wnicn op erates government owned barge lines, to open a water service on the Illinois river and require rail roads to make rail and water rates on a basis lower than all-rail charges in cooperation with the river line. The Southern complaint argued that the present "difficulties under which rail carriers labor have to do with lack of traffic." It added that if a new rail line were to be projected in the same territory the government would disallow its construction and would treat it as a waste of capital. The complaint said the water line would ask, permission to make rates on the basis of 80 per cent of all rail charges for like distances and that such a differential was not justified by the water operating VV.

Nov.

1. (Associated Press) The biggest ailplane in the world, the Dor-nier DO-X, was groomed today for a start tomorrow on the first lap of a irans-Atiantlc trip to New York. The huge metal bird, which can carry more than 100 passengers, will have 20,000 liters (about 4,400 gallons) of fuel in its tanks, enough to keep its twelve engines delivering their 7,200 horsepower for 18 hours. Tomorrow at 8 a. weather permitting, the plane will leave the placid waters of Lake Constance for Amsterdam.

It is possible that the ship, leaving here, will descend first at Friedrich-shafen, just across the lake, in order to make its official hop-off from a German port. The ship expects to leave Lisbon for the Azores on Nov. 10. It probably will arrive in New York about two days later. THE WEATHER Davenport, Nov.

1. Disclosure that as the result of action of Vice President Curtis and Prohibition Commissioner Doran in putting a dry spy in the capitol, a list of senators and house members who bought liquor is in the hands of prohibition officials has stirred up another prohibition sensation. It is said many of the patrons of the bootlegger voted dry. In any event, it is declared here that when congress meets certain extreme drys will demand the list be produced and made public. It is admittedly concealed for political reasons.

Senator Brookhart Is one of the drys who is expected to demand the list be given out. He has already announced he will urge investigation of the activities of the "man with the green hat and also of the charges of laxity in the offices of Doran, Mellon and others. Predictions at the capitol today are that the proposed investigation and disclosure of the list will be blocked in both houses, because of the embarrassment it would cause many members.

Seemed like old times to hear Mr Coolidge on the radio, especially when he pleaded for "a continuation of Republican blessings." a'd what we needed in office was "office holders," men that were used to holding office. He said It was no time to break in new talent. Compare that campaign plea with the one of my old friend, Gov. Beulow, of South Dakota, who Is out for the senate: 'There Is no Issues In this election; the other fellow has got a job and I want It" Such honesty must come from a Democrat.
