ROAD BILL AND !
 OTHERS VETOED
Dental Measure, Film Control and Salary Raises
 Also Given Axe
By Review Leased Wirel


 PHOENIA, March 24-There will be no serious setback to the good roads movement on account of the vetoing of the senate highway commission bill, said Governor Campbell today when he killed that measure along with six others The governor said that he vetoed the highway measure because it made the same bold and unjusti- fled attempt to take from the chief executive tine direc:-on and control of the state highway department without a shadow of justice" as the bill he killed March 6.
 The bill to provide for the establish ment of state orphanage was vetoed for two reasons, said the governor, one, the indefiniteness of the act, and the second, the executives opinion that the proposal was a step backward instead Of forward.
 Governor Campbell could see no req. son whatever for the passing of the bill to regulate the moving picture in dustry, That business, along with all others. could be handled under the reg ular state laws, he said, and while he l favored some tax on the film business :, ne said he knew there was a growing public feeling against regulations more meddlesOme than salutary.''
 The dental bill, during its passage i through the legislature, was supported | by its friends because it let dOwI the bars" The governor was of th' : opinion it went too far in lowerin: the barriers and he feared an influ of inferior dentists, for which reasol he killed it.
 l Making the teaching of the Bibl, | compulsory in public is against tn T principles of the constitution, was tn, keynote of the gubernatOrial objection to the measure to permit such teach ing and it too was vetoed.
 The executive thought the presen no time to be increasing the salarie of state officials and the bill to do SC which failed, to raise the governor stipend, died today under his disaI proval.
 'I 4 bill to raise salaries of official in second class counties was Killed fO the reason that its provisions wer duplicated in another measure.
 Late tonight Governor Campbell xiii ed another bill with his veto, this tim the measure to be disapproved bein house bill 2S. providing for the ere; ton and organization of special roa improvement districts.

NEW YORK. March Postmaster General BurlesOn's action in dismiss ing Clarence H. Mackay as president of the Postal Telegraph-Cable com pany, was characterized by MT.

 Mr. Mackay added that William HohenzOllern himself could not have been more arbitrary, despOtic and win dNtiTe," and served notice on Mir. Burleson that he would fight to my last dollar and to the last ditch"
 He ridicuivr1s.r.

 This act Of MT. BUrlesOn," he said, '-is only the continuation of a deliber- ate conspiracy to wreck and ruin the Postal Telegraph system and then es- tablish a monopoly of wire cOmmu- nicatOin in the United States"
 MT Burleson's principal acts, since taking over the lines, MT Mack3y as serted, had been increasing Of long distance telephone rates in the inter est of the Bell Telephone company ; the proposition to increase telegraph rates in the interest of the Western Union Telegraph company; the seizure of the cables after the signing Of the 2rmistiee ;the busting of myself and other officials of the Commercial Ca ble and Postal companies and the or der that the Postal build not lines to compete with the Bell Telephone or Western Union without first submit ting our plans to officials of those z companies"

 Revolution of Red Flaggers

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Advices to the state department today from three widely separated sources tended to increase the anxiety of officials over the situation in Hungary. Bol- shevih clements apparently had as- snmed complete control of the gov ernment of Budapest with a threat of renewal of h0Sulities.
 There was no indication as to the extent of the control of the new -Segi- me beyond the capital and in the ssss5- sence of this and other details Of ficials were reluctant to discuss the situation at length. It appeared nom todays advices, however. that the crisis resulted from the line of demar-- cation established by the peace con- ference in circumsorihng the terri tory of Hungary, and the general econ Omic situation in Budapest.
 The recognition ol the extreme claims ot the Rumanians and Czecho- Slovals and the establishment of neutral zones between these lines and the limits allowed to Hungary which soon was 10 be held by the French until the final peace treaty was com pleted, was said to have been more than the old Hungarian was able to accept and remain in power, It was suggested that the fact that these lines were not to be the final limita- tions of the new Hungarian state was not appreciated by the Ehlnsarians who apparently preceded upon the theory that they were to lose even the neutral acne occupied by She French.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Prof. Rodger Adams of Urbana, Ills, testify ing today for the government at the court martial trial on Governors is land of Capt. Edwin c. Weisgerber of Pittsburg, charged with acts detrimen- tai to the United States and Great Britain and favorable to Germany, said that analysis of chemical mix ture submitted by the defendant to the British war mission as a substitute for gasoline and purporting by him to consist of 95 per cent water and per cent chemicals, was in reality "a saturated solution of picric acid and gasoline"
 The government contends that use of the mixture with it's alleged picric acid contents would ultimately destroy any internal combustion engine or mo- tor" and seriously impair operation Of submarines, motor trucks and other military and naval equipment.
 Adams Testimony Q
 Professor Adams, who is on the fac ulty of the University of Illinois, and was recently discharged as a major in the chemical war service, testified that his analysis showed the mixture to contain six-tenths Of l per cent picric acid and ordinary commercial gasoline. His tests, he said, showed no evidence of water or any other in- gredients in the mixture, although he admitted that there may have been slight traces" of other chemicals which would not appear in the an alysis.
 The mixture in question was sub mitted to the British war mission in Washington, July 15, 1918, and turned over to the American chemical war fare service for analysis.
 This was done, Arthur II. Wykeham- George of Baltimore, assistant direc- tor or war supplies Tor the British mis- sion testified, because we had no secrets and were working together" Says Fuel impossible Continuing his testimony, Professor Adams declared that it would be i'm possible to form a synthetic fuel hay ing the properties of gasoline with go per cent water and chemicals. Under cross-examination the witness denied that he had prejudged the possibilities of the chemical mixture, but admitted ! that he had never made a study of al i leged gasoline substitutes
 | Wykeham-GeOrge under cross-eXam- ination, declared that he understood the mixture was submitted as a sub stitute for gasoline, but that there was no request or offer of remuneration so | far ts he knew. A memorandum sub mitted to J. K. Burnett of Pittsburg who was associated with the defendant in the manufacture Of the mixture
 claimed that the substitute could be made at a cost Of seven cents a gasO line and anywhere where either fresh
