tatives of the state highway depart
ment of Kansas, Nebraska, Texas,

a memorial asking that $500, 100000
additional federal aid for state roads
be appropriated Immediately, allow
ing $l00,000,000 each year for four
years, beginning in 1920 Congress
was asked further to designate that
the SITES under such an appropria.
ton may have until July, 1925, to use
federal funds before it reverts back
to the government.
Highway department officials
pointed out that in many states with
present federal funds already used
up, plans for millions of dollars
worth of state roads to be built with
federal aid must await further ac-
ton of congress. Gov. Henry J.
Allen of Kansas, who presided, de-
clared that Kansas counties had ap-
piled for $l6,000,000 from the gov
ernment for road plans already ap-
proved, with less than $8,OOO,O0O
available.
Among the state officials who at
tended the meeting we're:
Nebraska-George E. Johnson,
state highway engineer.
Iowa.. w. Holden and w. COL
linson, state highway commissioners.

tee Chairman Sees Wilson
After Tour of Country.

Washington. July D.-Homer S.

cratic national committee, discussed
with President Wilson the political

ing his observations during his re-
cent two months trip through Ia

The conference was the first the
national chairman has had with the
president since last December. Mr..
Cummings refused to discuss the
possibility of Mr.. Wilson again lead
ing his party in the 1920 election and
would not affirm or deny that this
subject was broached during the
conference.
Chairman Cummings said he told
the president the country was over
whelmingly in favor of immediate
ratification of the treaty and its
League of Nations covenant with
out change or reservation. AS to
the political situation Mr.. Cummings
was understood to have been en-
phatically confident.
Many matters of party interest
were understood to have been taken
up and policies and legislation con-
sidered from every conceivable
angle.
The president was said to have
outlined to Mr.. Cummings the tenta-
tive itinerary of the trip he will take
through the country.
The proposed trip was understood
to have received the chairman's ap-
probation.
In the states he visited, Mr.. Cum
mings informed the president, if the
people had an opportunity to vote
On the question today. a 10 to ! r1,a
jority would be given in favor of
immediate ratification of the league
and covenant without change or
reservation.
In California, the home of Senator
Johnson, one of the leading op-
ponents of the league, Mr.. Cum

RESUMES TALKS
ON GERMAN PACT
WITH SENATORS
President Endeavors to Convince
Four More Republicans Rati-
fication Is Only Thing.

Washington, July 30.-The peace
treaty with Germany was discussed
by President Wilson with four more
republican senators, all of them un-
derstood to be unwilling to accept
the league of nations in its present
form.
The question of including reserva-
tions in the senate's ratification of
the treaty is understood to have been
the chief topic of discussion. some
of the presidents callers telling him
unreserved ratification was impos-
sible and Mr.. Wilson reiterating his
aversion to any change or qualifica-
ton which might reopen diplomatic
negotiations. Each of the senator's
indicated afterward that his views
had not been changed.
The president saw Senators Dill
ingham. Vermont; Harding, Ohio;
Fernald, Maine, and Lenroot, Wis
consin. He talked for an hour with
each of them, going over many fea-
lures of the Versailles negotiations.
None would discuss his conversa-
ton with the president in detail, but
Senator Harding, who is a member
Of the Foreign Relations commit
tee, made a brief statement, saying
Mr.. Wilson had empha sized the pos
sibility that senate reservations
might encourage other nations to
qualify their acceptance of the
league.
Thursday the president will see
three other republican senator's,
while the senate resumes debate on
the treaty and the Foreign Relations
committee begins public hearings on
the economic sections with Bernard
Baruch, an adviser to the American
peace delegation as the first witness.
Both the senate and the commit
tee had recessed over Wednesday
and many senators went over, for
the first time, the official text of the
special defensive treaty with France.

Man CONVICTED
Of MATR|C|DE
TAKES OWN LIFE
Roy Emerson, Creston, Iowa
Undertaken, EIudes She
riff and Hangs Himself
to Bridge.

Creston, Ia, July 30.-(Special
Telegram.) Roy Emerson, Creston
undertaken, convicted of matricide
on July l9, eluded his guards who
were taking him to the Ringgold
county Jail at Mt. Ayr. and cheated
the law by taking mis- own life. He
hanged himself under a highway
bridge two miles from Kellerton,
Ia, about this morning.
Emerson was charged with beat
ing his mother to death with an iron
brace and throwing her body down
an elevator shaft in their undertake
ing establishment at Creston on the
afternoon of May E, and was con-
victed of second degree murder at
Mt. Ayr, where the case was trans
fcrred for trial. He was released on
July "a on $4,000 bail bond signed
by William Wallace. William Nc
Farland and Mrs. Walter Herring
ton pending an appeal OF the case to
the supreme court.
Goes to Des Moines.
Immediately following his re-
lease, accompanied by his 22-year-
old wife, Emerson went to Des
Moines where he visited with friends
while seeking employment. 1t is
alleged that employees of the under
taking establishments in Des
Moines refused to work With him
and he was discharged from his posi-
ton.
Tuesday Mr.. Wallace of Green
field and Mr.. Mcfarland repudl-
ated their part of Emerson's bond
and he was re-arrested. The bonds
men are reported to have repudiated
the bond due to pressure brought
by people of Creston, many of whom
ostracized them after they secured
his release.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Hayner of Un-
ion county. accompanied by Mr..
Mcfarland, started in an automo-
bile from Des Moines to take En-
erson back to the Mt. Ayr JAIL
When near Kellerton the machine
broke down and while his guards
were making repairs Emerson
jumped from the machine and es-
capped.
Alarm Is Spread.
After an hours fruitless search,
the sheriff requested aid from resi-
dents of the vicinity and the entire
community joined in searching the
surrounding country. The alarm was
spread all over the southwest sec
ton of the state. Bloodhounds were
secured from Creston to take up his
trail.
No trace was found until a farmer,
Frank Allen, reported that he had
seen a man go under a highway
bridge two miles from where the
automobile broke down. The search
ing party there found Emerson's
lifeless body dangling from girder.
He used his belt and coat to make
the moose with which he ended his
life. He had been dead only few
when found.
When re-arrested Emerson non
accompanied the officers
back to Mt. Aver and appeared calm
and unconcerned. Deputy Sheriff
Hayner said he appeared surprised
that his bondsmen should repudiate
the bond, but felt confident that he
would secure a new bond. Not until
they neared Kellerton did he show
signs of brooding over the change
N his affairs, the sheriff said, and
then not enough to attract special
attention.

Building Too Costly
For Federal Bank

The Federal Reserve Bank Of
New York yesterday announced that
its board Of directors had decided
to postpone for the present the
erection of the banks new building
on the land recently acquired in
Nassau Street. In explanation 1t
was stated that, while the bank
had acquired all the land needed
for the building, careful survey
OF building conditions had con-
vinced the management of the bank
that prices of practically every kind
of building material required for
the erection of the structure, which
will contain nearly 100000 cubic
feet. appeared to be too high to
justify the bank in making the nee
essary expenditure at this time.
1t was. stated at the bank that the
delay would enable the bank to per-
feet the detail of the building and
that the space it has on long lease
in the Equitable Building, together
with Offices which it occupies in
other buildings, was regarded as
sufficient for the banks require
ments for some time to come.
No date could be forecast for the
beginning of the building opera
tions which, it was said, would be
determined by developments in
building conditions.

Cuba Never Asked by U. S.
To Repay Millions Spent

Cuba never reimbursed the United
States for the money spent there dur
ing and after the Spanish war, un-
less the coaling stations on the island
may be SO considered. By the terms
of settlement with Spain, when the
war ended, the United States practi-
cally made the Cubans free gift of
their country, which might have been
the territory ceded to this country by
Spain.
Not only that. but this government
expended thousands of dollars in per-
manent improvements in Cuba before
turning the island over to the govern
ment formed by the Cubans.
