fession quoted saying that he had
never heard the name of Becker men-
toned in connection with the con.
spiracy resulting in the death of the
gambler.
Won't Admit Confession.
Justice seabury refused to admit the
testimony concerning the alleged COZ
fession into the record. The justice
explained his action by saying ''con-
fession" had not been made in affi.
davit form or sworn to, nor had it
been made to anyone authorized to
take - deposition from the dying man.
Further ne said he was influenced by
the fact that it was not permissible
to admit testimony concerning acci-
dents occurring a long time after q
crime. Two more witnesses were ex-
amined for the defense. The case will
be completed before the week end.
Martin Manton, chief counsel for
Becker, announced tonight that Beck

He said, however, athat Morgan's

Mellen conceded that some properties
were purchased at too high price,

the three year old child of William

A Meeting Of the Better High
ways Advocates Will Be Held
In October.

AS majority of the people of Bis
marck and vicinity are interested in
the building of good roads, and the
county now having two trunk lines
constructed, some idea OF the work
being done elsewhere is contained in
the following, which will give some
idea of the interstate road plans.
Will Hold Congress.
The Northwestern Road congress,
organized for the purpose of bringing
together the road experts of Illinois,
Michigan, Iowa. Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin,
will serve a purpose that has been
manifestly requested throughout the
northwestern states since the good
road movement became more than a
mere subject of discussion.
Have Big Plan.
A comprehensive scheme of inter-
state highways, it is said, will be one
of the matters that the Northwestern
Road congress will determine for the
road builders of the participating
states. With this portion of the work
mapped out for the congress, there
is unexpected interest displayed by
those having lin charge the Sheridan
road, from Chicago to Milwaukee, the
Lake to River road, from Milwaukee
to the Mississippi river; the Lincoln
Highway, the Red Ball Route, be-
tween St. Paul and st. Louis; the Fox
River Valley Route, from Milwaukee
to points in the Michigan peninsula,
which will later connect with the
Around Lake Michigan Highway, and
the Chicago to Detroit Road.
Want Proper Representation.
The executive committee Of the
congress will meet in Milwaukee
shortly, for the purpose of arranging
plan of representation from the
states involved in the congress. One
plan suggested is the appointment
of five delegates from each county
and a delegation at large, to be ap.
pointed in each state by the governor.
representation will also be given to
automobile associations. good roads
associations and various commercial
organizations in the territory affected
by the congress.
Will Meet In October.
The congress will meet in Milwau-
kee, October %, 20, 80 and 81, and
will bring together the highway COM
missions of the participating states,
members of the legislatures, good
roads associations, automobile associ-
ations, boards of public works, county
highway commissions and thousands
of road contractors, civil engineers
and good roads machinery manufac-
turers.
