BIG EDITION BE
DELAYED A WEEK
The Gateway’s big “Prosperity Edi
tion’’ which was to have been issued
today has been delayed a week owing
to the non-arrival from the States of
some very important cuts, among
which are those of the Jesse Lee
Home and one of Seward. As these
cuts are among the most important
in the many printed in this issue, it
was deemed advisable to await the ar
rival of the Alameda.
A telegram was received the first
of the week from the Seattle Engrav
ing Company stating they had been
shipped and would arrive here De
cember 4.
It has also been found necessary to
run an additional section making 60
pages in all, in order to accommodate
some of the late special features.
We believe the delay will be to the
advantage of the town, hence the post
ponement.

AIR EQUIPMENT
OBSOLETE SAYS
ANNUAL REPORT
WASHIiNIQTON, D. C., Dec. 5. (/P)
—Lack of funds has prevented Na
tional Guard air service units from
obtaining suitable equipment during
the last fiscal year, Major General
George C. Rickards informed Secre
tary Davis of the War department
in his annual report for the 1924-25
year, as head of the Militiaa bureau.
“The equipment in use ait present
is obsolete and unsuitable for the
work the National Guard Air Service
is called upon to perform,” the report
said. “It is deteriorating rapidly and
in a very short time will be unsafe
for flying purposes.
“Under these conditions it is con
sidered essential that funds be pro
vided for suitable airplanes and equip
ment;”
General Rickards said three years
of guard air service work had “prov
en its value” as a peace-time ele
ment of the state forces.
“The stage of efficiency which has
been reached in training indicates,”
lie added, “the position that it has
taken as a reserve air force avail
about for use in case of an emer
gency.”
A survey of the guard ar camps
last summer disclosed “the efficien
cy and high morale of the personnel
participating,” the report said, sin
gling out the air units of the Twen
ty-ninth Division (Maryland) as par
ticularly praiseworthy. Difficulties
met last year in getting pilot re
placements for the guard had been
ovrecome, it was added.
Bar Room of N. Y. Elks
Club Locked and Sealed
NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (/P)—1The Elks
club of New York today accepted a
“padlock for six months” closing the
situation instituted by United States
Attorney Buckner under the prohibi
tion law.
For the next half year the grill room
and bar of the club will be locked and
sealed. Mr. Buckner explained that
where restaurants were incidentally
connected with living quarters the
former only would be closed.
On October 26 police and federal
agents seized nine kegs of alleged
beer after the driver of the wagon,
from, which the beer had been unload
ed at the club.
Officials of the lodge were ordered
to produce the books of the club for
the federal grand jury. A deputy U.
S. marshal carrying subpoenas was
excluded from the club but papers
were finally served on Albert Wallace,
the manager.
A sharp legal battle followed in
which the club officials lost in an ef
fort to obtain an injunction to restrain
the grand jury from inspecting the
club’s books to see if drinks were
charged to the members.

POETS DISPUTE GIRL
PRODIGY IS THE AUTHOR
NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (JP)—New York
poets and almost poets today were em
barked in a delightful literary contro
versy that should furnish fuel for thot
and maybe versification for many a
day.
The debate is over the question of
whether Nathalia Crane, 11-year-old
Brooklyn school girl and doll mother
is the center of a genuine literary
hoax, or whether she is the prodigy
she was acclaimed when her first two
books of poetry were brought out.
Edwin Markham claimed that Na
thalia was not the author of “The
Janitor’s Boy” and “Lava Lane,” as |
her two books are called. He said the
books were the work of four young
men and two young women poets of
prominence—and intimated broadly he
could name the six if he cared to.
Clarence P. Crane, lather of the al
leged prodigy, who used to be a news
paper man and essayed some verse
himself, is out with a reply to Mr.
Markham in which he takes them to
task for their mud-slinging at the
young prodigy.
