BOOST OLD TRAILS HIGHWAY
Delegates at Columbia Meeting Pledge
Aid Of Every County Through
Which Road Passes.

This is the first time l ever saw
a road meeting get down to real bust
ness" George Il. McInch Of St. JOS
eph, member of the state highway
board, told three hundred Old Trails
delegates in session at Columbia. Every
one Of the eleven Missouri counties
through which the Kansas City-St.
Louis Highway passes was represent
ed at the meeting. Plans were made
for the immediate completion Of the
hard surfacing of the highway, 1903
miles long, between the two largest
cities in the state.
The program included the appoint
ment Of a committee OF five members
from each county who will formulate
plans for the local road building work.
The state highway board cannot
act in road building until the counties
move" said Mr.. McInch. THE board
will not approve roads which have
dangerous curves. We will inspect all
roads on which state and federal aid
is asked and require that all be treat
ed so that there will be no danger
from sharp corners"
A. c. McKibbin, member and secre-
taTy Of the state highway commission,
said the state, with its own and the
federal funds, now has available for
road building 81, 200, 900.
Short speeches were also made by
the other two members of the state
highway board. The convention
pledged the Old Trails Association to
a campaign to raise $4,000, which will
be required to complete the new
gravel road, through the Mineola hills.
The MineOla district voted the limit
allowed under the law for road bonds.
This, with the state and federal aid,
will not be quite enough to complete
the Smile stretch, it is estimated. The
new Mineola Road, a part of which
has been relocated, will be completed
in three months if the weather per-
mits. Thirty cOnvicts are working on
the right Of way now. More are to
be put on the job, 1t is believed that
the road will have been hard surfaced
between Kansas City and st. Louis
within another year. Practically one.
half of the trail is now fit for travel
in all kinds Of weather and is the best
known and most commonly used Of
any trans-cOntinental road.

ACCUSE A BOY OF OLD CRIME
a Webster County Grand Jury lndcts
Youth for the Murder Of
Two Children.

Seven years after the mysterious
deaths of johnny Frederick, u years
old, and George Pledge, IA years old,
OF Falls City, Neb., the grand jury Of
Webster county has indicted Charles
Williams, "a, on two charges of mur-
der, alleging he killed the boys. Will
liams, son Of Louis Williams, is in
jail at M~arshfield, held without bond,
His home is at Rogersville, twelve
miles south of Springfield.
The bodies of the two boys, badly
mutilated, We're found on the Frisco
tracks neas Holman, sixteen miles
east Of Springfield, January IL, 1911.
Examination Of the bodies showed
wounds ON The head of each, evidently
not caused by the wheels of the train.
Investigations were made. but without
results. Both of the boys had run
away from home and were on the way
to Lebanon, where Frederick had an
uncle.
1t Is alleged by Prosecutor Black
burn that Williams made statements
at Rogersyille recently. saying he had
a fight with the two boys, that he had
killed one with "a rock and the other
with a club and then put their bodies
on the track so Tie train would cover
his crime.
In his cell in the county Jail, adjoin-
ing that of the seven alleged kidnap-
pers, Williams made the following
statement;
81 met those two boys at Holman on
the day they were killed. and Irwin
Moreland bought their dinners for
them in the store, Later in the after
noon Lsaw them about fifty yards
east of the station. We had a quarrel
and / threw rocks and they threw
rocks. ! didn't see any Of my rocks
hit them. They went down on the
tracks and that's the last | saw Of
them until | went with some boys to
see the bodies. ! never did make the

FURTHER ATTACKS ON MER-
CHANTMEN.' SAYS SEN
ATOR STERLING.

Redfield, March %. - Senator
Thomas Sterling was in Redfield
yesterday. The senator expressed
himself as confident that congress
would back up the president in any
reasonable demand that he may make
and that party ties will be forgotten
in the present %exigency. He states
that there is still a hope that war
may be ayerted, but that congress
will make adequate provision to pro-
tect American merchantmen from
submarine attacks. If war comes, ii
will be through further attacks upon
American merchantmen.
While here the senator was called
upon TO address the farmers of Sphinx
county, who are organizing a Nation
al Farm Loan association. The asso-
citation was in session when it was
learned that the senator was here
and he was requested to explain the
working points of the rural credits
act.

HIS Mind MADE UP
PRESIDENT WILL RECOMMEND
THAT CONGRESS- RECOG-
ME 4 STATE OF WAR.

Washington. ID. c.. March 29.-
Contrary TO the impression given out
as the result Of the conference be-
tween the president and Senator
Hitchcock. ii is stated here on high
authority that the mind Of the pres
ident is made up as TO the most i'm
portant action he will recommend to
congress. He has not decided as TO
what were officially to be details.
This is taken here TO mean the pres
ident will recommend that congress
recognize a state of war and author
ize the executive to use the land and
naval forces to defend American
rights.
Such details as have not been de-
termined are believed to relate Il
just how far the land and naval
forces are 10 be increased and utiliz-
ed and TO the scope Of legislation
touching national defense.

Senator Stone is expected to op-

through without plenty of debate is
without basis, unless there should be
