ROAD MAKERS TO ECONOMlZE
Highway Builders to Receive Official

Madison-Chairman John A. Ha-

kiss Of the Wisconsin highway COM
mission told the 400 highway build
ers attending the third annual road
school which opened in the assem-
bly, chamber of the capitol, that the
state commission intended to issue
an order advising county highway
commissioners to use only as much
money for highway construction this
year as could be economically spent.
There is available for road coIstruc-
tion in Wisconsin this year the sum
of $4,500,000. Chairman Hazelwood
and Secretary Hotchkiss said that
proportionately better results would
probably be secured if not more than
$2,500,000 were available for road
building. 1t will not be possible to
get sufficient competent men to do
$4,500,000 worth of road building in
the state this year, they said. Gov.
McGovern told the road builders that
it was up to them to demonstrate to
the taxpayers that they were getting
dollars worth of road for every
dollar of tax"

ALIEN BILL IS HALTED
ANTLASiATIC LEGISLATION is
STOPPED BY BRYAN.
Appeal to Raker of California
Not to Press Measure.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Secretary of
State Bryan prevented all Asiatic ex-
clusion legislation at the present ses-
sion of congress with a statement to
the house immigration committee on
Thursday that any agitation of the
subject would involve present diplo-
matte relations between this country
and Japan and Mexico.
AS an indication that the Japanese
and Mexican problems are directly re-
lated and extremely acute, the secre-
tary of state pledged members of the
committee TO secrecy before he start
ed to tell of the Japanese complica-
tons and the work of state depart
ment to preserve peace. The COM
mittee stenographer was excluded
from the room.
Mr.. Bryan made personal plea to
Representative Raker of California
not to press his Japanese exclusion
bill at this time because it would en-
barrass the administration in its eff
forts to allay anti-American sentiment
IN Japan.
The committee, through Chairman
Burnett, told Mr.. Bryan action on the
Raker bill and on all Asiatic exclu-
sion legislation propositions would be
suspended until recommendations
shall be received from the state de-
partment.

cIares He Prefers to Go to Jail
Criminal Proceedings Follow Clos
ing of the Bank.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 1.-THE Mer-
camille bank closed its doors Monday.
Officers of the institution, acting under
supervision of ]. L. Hutton, state SUI
perintendent of banks and receiver
for the bank. are examining the books
in an effort to determine the exact
amount of the shortage. c. Hunter
Raine, president of the bank, admits
that the alone is responsible for the de-
falcation.
General indications are, it is said
that the audit will show a deficit in the
neighborhood Of $1,000,000.
Mr.. Raine has made no effort to give
bail, according to attaches of the Grim
inaI court. He was arrested on
bench warrant charging embezzlement
of S7SS, 804.76 of the banks funds, and
was taken to the county jail.
The bank president was escorted be-
fore Judge Palmer by Sheriff Tate and
Deputy Sheriff NJ. w Palmer. Taking
the warrant under which the banker
was arrested and which was sworn out
by Attorney General Estes, the court
read the document to Mr. Raine and
asked him If he had anything to say.
Il am guilty" replied the banker.
"Mr Attorney General" continued
the court, what bond do you recon-
mend?"
Before the attorney general could
reply the banker interrupted with: Il
don't want to give bond; / want to go
to jail"
He was taken to the Jail by Deputy
Sheriff Palmer.
Criminal proceedings against the
banker came as the elimination of
the banks failure.
The bank was officially closed fol-
lowing an order by the board of direc-
tors, who subsequently filed bill in
chapcery, charging c. Hunter Raine,
president of the institution, with hav-
ing lost, through cotton speculations,
$7SS,SO476 of the banks funds.
