Erskine Caldwell's Midsummer Passion is a Chekhovian incident of yokel bawdiness and embarrassment, e. e. cummings, noted licentiate of verse, has some fun with prose and prose ideas. Paul Green contributes a full-length play, Tread the Green Grass. There are eleven short stories...
Scheme No. 2 involved William T. Kemper, for some years Federal Receiver of the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railroad, purchased last year by Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé. Charges against Receiver Kemper were that in 1924 when stockholders thought the situation hopeless, he learned of oil discoveries along the line, of improved operating conditions, of terms in the Santa Fé deal that would make Orient gold convertible notes worth more than face value.
