AID REQUESTED
 FOR SERBIANS

Grand Duchess Olga A1exandrina, sister of the former Car of Russia, has cabIed the National Lutheran Council for aid of refugee Russians in Serbia The cablegram comes from Belgrade where the grand duchess is in exile at present. The cablegram reads:
 Having met Professor Morehead and heard from him of the relief work his commission has done and is doing in various countries of Europe I can only hope that this good work can be extended to Russian refugees in Serbia and elsewhere. May I also express with all my heart the hope after these trying years that the Christians of America may at the earliest practicable moment come to the aid of my suffering countrymen in Russia"
 With the cabIegram from the for mer Czar's sister comes cabled re- port from Dr. J. A. Morehead on con- ditions and needs in southeastern Europe. The report says that the need of relief and church reconstruc- ton in the Balkans is enormous In Pennsylvania he says the perse- cution of the Lutherans by the Rou- manians has been severe. The churches have been occupied by Rou- manian troops, church services have been stopped. In places pastors were forbidden to pray the Lords Prayer because the Roumanian military held that the petition 'tThy Kingdom come" was political propaganda , Many of the people have been deport- ed, and are crowding the capital of
 Hungary, Budapest, and the surround ing villages.

No Prospect of Passing
 Relief Legislation Now

Washington, May G. After a series of informal conferences democratic and republican members of the House agreed today there was no prospect of enactment of soldier relief legislation before the forthcoming recess for the political conventions.
 Representative Knutson, of Minnesota the republican whip. said that many members felt that the whole question should go over until after the Novem- Der election as to avoid the possible injection of partisanship in it's con- sideration.
 Representative Garner, of Texas, democratic whip, and mem Der of the conducted hearing on relief legislation, declared sentiment was rapidly chang ing" and that a majority of the demo- cratic members of the committee were willing to let the bill continue to sleep in committed"
 Much of the change in sentiments, members said, was due to the large number of protests against increas- ing the tax burden, and it's possible effect on the cost of liviH$.

 Him, Is Mans Excuse

Mobile, May 6.-(Special)- )-Peter Johns, fifty-six, a Spaniard, admitted in open court here today when tried for the mur- } der of Mrs Annoine Foster forty-six, last Saturday, that his excuse for killing the woman was that she refused to love him any longer, and that she was calling for the police.

 frage Amendment
By Associated Press

Dover, Del, May 6.-Despite the efforts of anti-suffragettes to force a vote in the lower house of the Delaware legis- lature today on the resolution to ratify the federal amendment, adjournment was taken until May r without any ac- tion on the measure. Suffrage leaders admitted they lack at least three votes to carry the measure In the House at this time.
 The refusal of the Senate, which yes- terday passed the measure to message it to the House and the presentation of a concurrent resolution from the upper branch calling for ten-day recess created one of the most spirited fights of the special session, charges being made that the delay was flor no other reason than to bribe, buy and cajole members of the House in voting for suf- frage." The charges were made by Pep resentatlve McNabb, democrat of Viii mington, who declared he knew of at least one member of the house who had been approached.
 Representative Lyons. republican floor leader challenged McNabb to prove his assertions and asked him to name the member he referred to. While I am not at liberty to mention his name" de- clared McNabb, T will do so here and LOW, if he gives me authority and you insist
 Calls of let's have it" came from the democratic side, but the name was not urged and the incident closed. Mr. Lyons said he did not believe either the suffragists or anti-suffragists would re- sort to such methods as charged by Me Nabb.
 5uffragist leaders declared tonight they would continue their fight during the re- cess with renewed vigor in cn effort to make Delaware the thirty-sixth state to ratify the amendment.

URGES GOOD ROADS
 ID LESSEN UNREST
Mean Better Understanding and More Even Distribu-
 ton, Says Henderson
By Associated Pross

New Orleans, May 6.-That good roads will reduce apprecably the national un- rest because they will facilitate com munication and lead to a better under standing and more even distribution was the contention of Leland J. Henderson of Columbus, Ga, in an address delivered late today before the annual convention of the Southern Commercial Secretaries Association.
 MT Henderson, who is secretary-treas- urer of the Dixie Overland Highway As sociation, and secretary of the Coum bus Chamber of Commerce, advocated a system of good roads usable in all kinds of weather radiating from each city for distance of ten miles and the division of the bordering lands into acre units. Thus, he explained. the city man may with his automobile live in the country and produce on from one to ten acres a great share of his food necessities. He will even have surplus to sell or trade for other things, MT. Henderson stated.
 He stated plans now made for highway construction indicate that during the next ter years from S1O,0o0, ,0000oO to s20,00o,- 000.000 will be expended for that pur- pose in She United States
 owing to certain wel-known condi- tions," he said, i've can expect little more railway expansion. Therefore, the transportation required for our further development as a nation must come iarge- ly from improved highways"
 How a survey of Dallas county, Ala bama, by a competent engineer had brought about permanent benefits of vast importance to the county and state was told by Morgan Richards. secretary oS the Selma Chamber of Commerce at to- days meeting of the association.
 MT. Richards stated thar rne survey was made by an expert engineer twelve years ago. and that since then no road has been built a bridge constructed, or an improvement made not in line with the survey.
 Transportation problems were discussed by B. F. Martin, traffic manager of the Natchez, Miss, Chamber of Commerce. and George Firmin of the Board of Com merce of Little Rock.
