ROAD BONDS OF 5000, 900
SOLD AT NICE PREMIUM

Owensboro, KY, May 20.-One of
the largest road bond issues ever
disposed of in Kentucky was sold
here by the Daviess County Fiscal
Court, when the bid of Seasongood
& Mayer, of Cincinnati, for the en-
tire issue of 100000, was accepted.
The bid of the Cincinnati firm was
in part as follows: t
For the 100000 Daviess county,
Kentucky, Az per cent. road and
bridge bonds, dated December 81,
1915; due 100000 December 81,
1921; and $4,000, December 81,
1929; and $4,000 annually there
after up to and including December
81, 1916; denominations $500 prin-
cipal and semi-annual interest pay
able at some bank in New York
City; We offer par (that is $6OO,OOO
accrued interest to date of delivery
of the bonds to Us and premium of
$4,000"
The interest on the bonds will
amount to $1S.5OO on June 1. when
it is expected they will be delivered.
The issue was voted last year. Its
validity has been passed on by the
highest courts of Kentucky. This
was the fourth time that bids had
been received. The delay in selling
them was occasioned by the strained
relations between the United States
and Germany.
The Fiscal Court will Immediately
prepare to let the contracts for the
construction of the rock roads. 1t
is believed that between seventy-tive
and eighty miles of roads can be
constructed with the 100000. Da-
viess county already has nearly fifty
miles of rock roads.

RIOTERS USED COFFTNS
TO ESCAPE FROM DUBLIN

London, May 21.-In the first ex-
element of the roundup by the mil
itary authorities of the participants
in the Dublin uprisings after the
leaders began to surrender,a number
of SinnFeiners escaped in coffins, ac-
cording to a report that has reached
here through the Sim Fein under
ground railroad" The escapes are
said to have been facilitated by the
momentary relaxation of the unu-
sual rules concerning death and bur-
ial certificates.
The method was complete. The
supposed corpse would be placed in
hearse and followed by a few
friends to the burial ground. After
the services at the grave the priest
would be called away and engaged
in conversation, thus giving the
grave diggers an opportunity to sur
round the coffin and lift up the
corpse"
The released man was able to
walk to a secluded end of the grave
yard and thus to liberty.

House Committee Refuses
To Approve 1t.
COMPROMISE BILL EFFECTED
Calling For S24O,OOO,OOO Outlay
Largest Sum Ever Asked
From Congress.
THE SENATE Is RELIED UPON

Washington, May 20.-Adminis-
tration forces in Congress lost the
first skirmish in the naval prepared
ness campaign when the House Com
mittee broke five-day deadlock,
and completed the naval appropria-
ton bill without approving the FIVE
year building program advocated by
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels.
AS finally agreed to the bill au-
thorizes the construction in 1917 of
five battle cruisers, as against two
dreadnaughts and two battle cruis-
ers recommended by Secretary Dan
iels; four scout cruisers, an increase
Of one over the departments pro-
gram; ten destroyers as against fif-
teen recommended; twenty subma-
rines, three to be S00-ton boats,
compared with five fleet and twenty
five coast submarines recommended,
one hospital ship. one oil fuel ship
and one ammunition ship. The gun
boat recommended was stricken out
and fuel and ammunition ships were
added from Daniels second year
program.
The total amount the bill carries
is $240,O0O.OOO, the largest naval
appropriation ever presented to Con-
gress.
While the APPROPRIATION is, if any
thing, an increase over the depart
ments plans. the failure of the five
year program and the fact that no
dreadnaughts are provided for, will
make the bill unsatisfactory to ad-
ministration officials. Secretary DAN
iels said that he would never
lose hope of getting what he asked
for until Congress had adjourned.
He clearly indicated the Senate,
which has not yet taken up the con-
sideration of the naval bill even in
committee, can be relied upon to re-
store the battleships.
Chairman Padgett was not only
forced by conditions of the dead
look to abandon the tive-year pro-
ject, but was also forced to accept
the provision proposed by Represen-
tative Hensley, authorizing the Pres
ident to call conference of world
powers at the conclusion of the Eu-
ropean war to draw plans for an in
peace tribunal. An APP
preparation of 100000 for this pur-
pose carried. which would authorize
the President to appoint nine citi-
Gems. distinguished as lawyers and
peace advocates, to represent the
United States.

Pays Cordial Tribute To
President Wilson.

Upon the Splendid Administra.
ton Which President Is
Giving the Country.
AN UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL

In tranquil retirement after an
active political life, having served
four years as Governor of his State
and twenty-five years in the United
States Senate, George c. Perkins, of
California, now seventy-six years
old, has cast partisanship aside to
pay a simple, whole-hearted tribute
to the craftsmanship of President
Woodrow Wilson.
For more than two score years
Mr.. Perkins was the dominant po-
litical force of the Republican party
of California: For more than a
score of years he was one of the
strongest Republican leaders of the
Senate. He was chairman of the
Naval Affairs Committee of the Sem
ate gand, in that post, had much to
do with the naval policy of the
country.
Now, after a lifetime of leader
ship in the Republican party, out of
the wisdom based on long expert
ence in the affairs of the United
States, and out of the knowledge of
the worlds history, he has summed
up the debt that the nation owes to
President Wilson in the following
letter:
"24 Market ST., San Francisco, Cali.
"To the President, the White House,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. President: ~ hope
you will not think ! am presuming
in rendering you my personal con-
CALCULATIONS upon the splendid ad-
ministration that you are giving to
our country, which has won for you
the admiration and respect of the
people.
Your wise craftsmanship, which
has kept our nation from conflict
with other nations, is the strongest
evidence of your knowledge of the
resources and advantages of our
great country.
Hoping the Great Giver of all
things will prosper you and yours
in all of your undertakings, | re-
main. Very respectfully.
GEORGE c. PERKINS"
This spontaneous tribute. coming
from a patriotic Republican, thank
ful for the natiOn's security and tho
UNFOLDING of its honor in a time of
world-upheaval, is typical of the new
era in politics. Other stalwart Re-
publicans. as we'll as Progressives
and Independents, have written
equally commentators letters to the
President. Mr.. Perkins gave his
consent to the publication of his let
ter.

Verdun Fight Enters On
Fourth Month.
FRENCH DEFENSE IS STRONG
Germans, Despite Failure Thus
Far to Take Fortress, Still
Hammer Away.
DEAD MAN HILL THE OBJECT

Paris, May 22.-The battle of
Verdun, the longest and most bitter
ly contested individual struggle of
the war, enters on its fourth month
to-day. The Germans, with charaC-
teristic patience and stubbornness,
are hammering at Dead Man Hill.
where the most furious and bloody
fighting of the three-months' con-
flict has taken place. Clinging des-
perately to the trenches they have
wrestel from the French on the low
err slopes of the hill, the Teutons
have hurried &c 900 mefr; backed By
sixty batteries of guns of all cali
bers, forward along a seven-mile
front from Avocourt wood to the
Meuse in a desperate attempt to
seize the coveted summit.
AS has been usual in this war
when either side launched a we'll
prepared and strongly delivered Of
fensive, the attacking forces have
won initial advantages. The Ger
mans have succeeded in gaining a
footing in the French first line at a
cost of severe losses. However,
judging from the experiences of the
past, 1t will not be difficult task
for the French to dislodge them be-
fore they are able to follow up their
advantage. Both sides will then
return to their former positions to
await another offensive.
That the Germans must continue
their tremendous onslaught on Dead
Man Hill or abandon the idea of
taking Verdun seems obvious. This
blood-soaked summit and its sister
eminence, Hill 3O4, form the key of
the whole system of Verdun's de-
lenses.
The fire from their batteries
TANKS the Douaumont plateau across
the river. Without the undisputed
possession of this plateau military
critics agree that no attack on YER
dun las any chance of success.
A neutral diplomat who has just
returned from Albania is quoted in
a dispatch to the Matin from Athens
as saying that the Austrians have
withdrawn $4,000 troops from AL
bania in the last three weeks.
Heavy Fighting.
Paris, May 22.-French grena-
diers occupied several blockhouses
in Avocourt wood on the Verdun
front in the course of severe fight
ing last night.
The struggle west of Dead Man
Hill was terrific. The War Office
statement this afternoon says that
the attacks of German infantry were
repulsed.
The blockhouses in Avocourt wood
were abandoned by the Germans.
East of the Meuse. infantry fighting
occurred at the Haudromont quar-
ries captured yesterday by the
French. The Germans attacked
these positions and, the statement
asserts. We're repulsed with heavy
loss
