Christ HOMELAND, the young man
who has occasioned so much com.
ment because OF the operation
which he recently underwent for
the removal Of piece of his skull
which was pressing on the brain,
today attempted to jump into the
river, intending to put an end to
his earthly career. Since coming
TO the city HOMELAND has had epilep-
tics fits at frequent intervals, and
in the spring the operation was per.
formed on his head with the hope
that II would improve his condition.
During the past few weeks, how.
ever, he has suffered several OF
these attacks and today, made de-
spondent by hts condition, he went

ROAD WORK GRAFT"
COST STATE BIG SUM
Representative Payne Says New York
Lost Over 5000. 900 in
Three Years.

Representative Serene E. Payne made
| the charge in the House yesterday that
the State of New York lost about S. 900, 90
or 5000. 900 in the last three years through
graft collected by persons whom he did
not name incident to the improvement OF
roads In that State. Mr.. Payne was at
lacking the Shackleford bill. which pro-
vides $25,ooo. 900 to be expended on roads
In the States, according to population.
The New YORK Representative said he
did not care to characterize the Shackle-
ford bill as graft" because that would
be a reflection on the House" He added
II was preposterous for Congress Sc
riously to entertain the thought of ap-
propriating S25.0O0000 for roads, because
according to NJ. Payne. the Treasury is
facing BANKRUPTCY"
He predicted the Treasury would report
deficit at the end of the year He
deprecated the tendency OF members to
secure appropriations for rivers and har-
bors. for free seeds. and other forms of
graft" merely or the purpose Of making
hit" with the people in their districts
Mr.. Payne told the House New York
had expended sl2s. 10000 in the improve
ment of State, county. and city roads,
but the work was far from completed.
There probably are some who honest
ly believe in this BILL" said Represent
alive Kent, Independent. of California,
but in the minds of many II Is simply
a bill to secure their own reelection. 1t
is a pork barrel bill. pure and simple.
I hope that when the test on 1t comes
We will not show ourselves as cowardly
as we did the last time it was before
us"
