Hungary to Sign June 4

PARIS, May 22.-The peace treat,
with Hungary, it was decided by tn,
Council of Ambassadors to-day, will
be signed in the Grand Trianon Palace
at Versailles on June 4.
The Hungarian delegates presented
to the council three notes, the first oil
which announced the resignation OF
Count Apponyi as president of the
delegation, and the second notifying
the council of the appointment of Ivan
Prasnowski to succeed him. The third
told of Hungary's decision to sign the
treaty and intention of naming dele.
gates for that purpose.
The council decided that in the alb.
sence of Count Apponyi it was fitting
that Hungary send a member of the
government or person conspicuous in
Hungary's public life, who might be
considered as representative of the
country, to sign the treaty.

Mrs. Betty Lee, Who Said
She Sought to Erect Home

Several Complaints Made

Mrs. Betty Lee, who was actively en-
gagged for several weeks In Newark in
arousing interest in project to erect
home for girls, was arrested yester-
day in Trenton. Sho was brought to
Newark, where warrant had been
issued for her arrest on a charge of
obtaining money on false representa-
tons. c. Wenham Smith, whose SON.
in-law, Thomas Ford, is Newark's Po-
lice Commissioner, obtained the war
rant.
He said that he gave two checks to
Mrs. Lee for S244 each to get reserva-
tions for European voyage, Mrs. Lee
tal friends and could obtain the reser-
vations without difficulty 1t is alleged
by the police that Mrs. Lees departure
from Newark followed closely on the
issuance of the warrant
The police declare also that Mrs. Lee
had cashed several checks in the city
which had been returned for lack Of
funds. They say that in presenting the
checks she would give as reference the
name of some influential citizen whose
acquaintance she had made in her can
vass OF the city in behalf of the girls
home enterprise.
Two Broad Street department stores
where Mrs. Lee had cashed checks, one
for $50 and one for $500, informed
the police that the Capital National
checks were drawn, had notified them
by telegraph that Betty Lee was not
known there. According to the police
Mrs. Lee persuaded those who had ac-
cepted checks that came back as worth
less to receive other checks as pay
ment.
In boosting the plan for a girls
home, for which it was understood
100000 worth of stock was to be sold,
Mrs Lee had called not only upon the
wealthy and influential, but also had

BergdoU Made Up

Quest for $15O,OOO
Gold Hatched-Up Tale

Major Henry D. Hunt, commandant
of Fort Jay, Governors Island, where
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll had been
shuftiing laundry since his conviction,
yesterday was inclined to view with
doubt the fugtive's tale of $500
buried in the red clay hills of Mary
land, on which he obtained a leave
from Castle William.
ut now looks somewhat like a
hatched-up story" said Major Hunt,
but we will know all>the facts after an
investigation has been made"
When the draft dodger boarded the
ferry for the Battery Friday morning,
escorted by two none commissioned off,
GERS, it was understood that his mis-
sion was to be accomplished with all
possible dispatch. He was to be given
time to dig up the buried fortune and
hustle it to Philadelphia bank. and
then return. A visit by Bergdoll to his
Philadelphia home was not auth horized
or expected, according to Major Hunt.
Sergeant O'Hare and Sergeant York,
the two commissioned officers who
accompanied Bergdoll to PHILADELPHIA.
returned to Governors Island yester-
day.
"lve talked to the sergeants," said
Major Hunt, "and the whole affair will
be investigated thoroughly. If there is
any one to blame we shall know it,"
Squads of soldiers left Governors
Island yesterday to assist in the search.
Bergdoll was about to be sent to
Leavenworth Denitentiary when he sud
denly decided that the time was ripe to
go in quest of the buried treasure
Castle William originally had been des-
lgnated by Major General Bullard.
commander of the Department of the
East, as the place for the deserter to
serve his five-year sentence.
In the event that his LATEST pilgrim
age is interrupted by his capture. it is
likely that he will be brought first to
Governors Island and then sent to
LeaVenworth to serve his five years and
take whatever additional punishment is
imposed
Bergdoll dolled up a bit before leav-
ing Governors Island yesterday. When
he was officially registered as a gen
eral prisoner his clothes consisted of
the regulation prison uniform. But at
the time of his escape he was wearing
olive drab. o

They say that she was layjng a

ries led them to believe that Mrs. Lees
home was in Denison, Iowa; that her
maiden name was Dolly Romano, and
that she had been divorced from a
man named Fred Blount.
According to the Newark police. Mrs.
Lee admitted having passed the checks
which were returned, but said that
she did not think it was wrong because
she expected friends to deposit money
to her credit in the Sacramento hank
before the checks could reach there.
She denied that she had "fed" from

 There still remains some work to be done on the CHfton-Frankljn high way. This is confined for the most part to the laying of numerous con crete lords between the top of Wards canyon and Duncan and the installa- tiOn of permanent concrete structures to replace wooden one in state of decay
 Continuing westward, the state high way between Clifton and Solomon vile is in fair condition. This road has never been surfaced owing to the lack of funds. but the improvement
 will be undertaken at the earliest op
 pOrtunity. This portion of the road is considered one of the finest scenic drives in the southwest though it's long but not heavy grades mitigate against it's commercial value.
 From Soiomonville the state high way continues to Globe. portion of
 which route, that between Globe and l Rice. has been built and finished by state highway forces acting in coop eration with Gila county. The connect.
 ion from Globe to Phoenix will be over Gila' county's concrete boulevard
 to Miami, thence over the famous
 Apache leap route down Queen creek canyon, now under construction by the state. 10 Superior. When this road is completed the distance be-
 tween Phoenix and Clifton will be cut
 by some 90 miles
 Clifton will be the junction point of another important highway now be- ling constructed by the forest depart
 ment- This leads nOrthward out of Clifton to Springerville, traversing as varied and picturesque scenery as could he found anywhere. Though this work is progressing slowly owing 1 to the heavy construction necessafv it Lis believed that the road will be the. first improved highway north and south to form 2 connection between

Especial to the Review)

PHOENIX. Sept II. - One of the most important units of the Arizona state highway from New Mexico to Phoenix is road from Clifton, coun- ty seat of Greenlee county, to Frank lin, on the state line. The most i'm portant section of this unit is the Wards canyon project, completed un- der the direction of the state high way department last July.
 This new route gives a shortcut out of Clifton over comparatively easy grade and is regarded as one of the cleverest pieces of road location work 10 be found in the state.
 The natural gateway to Clifton is Wards Canyon. and this was the route used by inc early pioneers and others who came later to establish one of the most important mining dis uicJs of Arizona. In early days the the upkeep of this rOad was tremen dOus as every new ireshet created considerable damage and the county ing the road open.
 TO overcome thlS situation the state highway department, early in its history, decided to change the route and by zigzagging up Che sides of d steep mesa and then dropping down on the other side, constructed high way which was considered something of an improvement over the old route
 However, travel gradually drifteC bac kto the canyon as there was toe much up hill work in going or coming over the other route to suit most drivers. lt was plain to the Countl authorities that the public demanded good road up the canyon, and ac cordiugly d bond issue was rloated and d goodly proportion Of it allotted tc this project, the third to be built out of Clifton for east-bound travel
 The county submitted a location tc the state highway department with a request for federal aid. This location contained some nine per cent grade IL was rejected for the reason that the road was too steep, the highway department taking the position that enough unsatisfactory roads had beer built out of Clifton, and that thi, should be the last The outcome i the ptesent excellent Location with Ll2,Llarul grsde ct 5rl, st.. rsr ,.err This was secured by E.
