LOST IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Carrier Pigeon Bore Note From Ed mund Heller. Author, to New York.

CdAtACh iE%th ANOAC rum EU- mund Heller, Author, to New York.
 New York, Aug. 9.-Somewhere in Yellowstone National Park Ed mund Heller, naturalist and author, who went with the Smithsonian ex- petition to Africa under the late Theo- dore Roosevelt is lost. This was re- vealed tonight when carrier pig con dropped to the sidewalk in Col umbus Circle.
 Attached to the pigeons leg was a note which read:
 Notify Dan Singer, New York City, I am lost. Hoodoomont, Yel- lowstone Park. Send help, provisions and pack horses. Heller"
 The flight of the pigeon is believed to have broken all records as it is approximately twenty-four hundred miles from here to Yellowstone Park.
 Singer wired a guide at Cody, Wyo., to go to Heller's aid.

IRISH CLERGY IS
 ADVISING PEACE
Bishop Hands "President" De Valera Message Coming From Highest Authority Disorders
 in Belfast.

Dublin, Aug. 23.-The Dali Eireanl today considered the proposed reply of it's president and his ministry tC the last letter of Premier Lloyt George on the question of an Irisl peace settlement, it was announced 1T an official communique issued this evening The Dali adjourned until Thursday, the statement added, wher it will again sit privately
 The executive committee of the Sim Fein also met today in the man. sion house.
 Meetings of the Sim Fein legisla- tive committee were placed under the ban long ago by the British govern ment, and, so far as is known, the prescription was never lifted. When 1t was announced the committee would meet there was some apprehension lest crown forces would interfere ir the gathering, but up until this morn. ing no intimation had been given the British authorities in Ireland drowned on the proposed assembly.
 Preclude Further Warfare.
 Considerable speculation was caused here last night by the delivery of a message to Mir. De Valera by Mon- signor Edward Mulhern, bishop of Dromore. It was asserted the mes sage had not scome from Cardinal Logus, head of the Catholic church in Ireland, but there was no further information relative to the origin of the message except it came from highest authority"
 It was the subject of protraC ted consultations by the Sim Fein lead CTS. Shortly after the Dali Eireann convened it was declared in some quarters that the Irish clergy was urging such action by the parliament that would peclude resumption of warfare between the Republican for ces and the British soldiery or con- stabulary.
 Sir James Craig, premier of Ul- ster, planned to meet his cabinet at Belfast today and it was believed probable that relations between Bel fast and Dublin would be considered. Only the inner circles of the Sim Fein and few Dublin people thus far have knowedge of the visit of Mon- signor Mulhern to Mir. De Valera, but among those aware of it, aside from the few who may be assumed to have definite knowledge, animated discus sion was still in progress today as to the source of Monsignor Mulhern s message. Notwithstanding that it had beer declared in, some quarters that Cardinal Logue had not sent the messenger. it was pointed out by oth- CTS that Monsignor Mulhern would he the natural messenger for Cardinal Logue, as his seat as bishop of Dromore at Newry is only IS miles from Carlingford, where Cardinal Logue is staying.
 Should the cardinal, it was argued, receive a message from transmission or decide it was time himself to take a step toward peace, he would in or dinary course select the nearest bishop to act as intermediary. Car dinal Logue has been a consistent op- ponent of violence in Ireland and has even gone so far as to condemn the destruction of goods under boycott.

RATES CANNOT FALL
 F WAGE GOES UP
Refusal of Western Roads to Meet Union Demands Declared in Pub lies Interest-Living May
 Be Easier.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Demands of the "big five" railway brotherhoods to wipe out the recent wage cut, with draw all further requests for wage de- creases and cancel all demands for elimination of time and one-half for overtime in train and yard service, were refused yesterday by the west ern railroads on the ground that these demands disregarded the public's in- terest in economical operation and re- sultant lower freight and passenger rates
 The decision followed two-day conference between the brotherhoods and a committee representing the western carriers.
 Regard for Public.
 In declining the brotherhood's re- quest for the withdrawal of all de- mands for further wage decreases, the committee informed the brother hoods representatives that a proper regard for the public interest in the operation of the railroads does not permit the officers of the railroads to give assurance that such requests for further decreases will be withdrawn This committee has no knowledge as to how many railroads have made re- quests for further decreases but there is demand on the part of the pub lie for reduction in freight and pas senger rates and such reductions can not be made under the present labor costs
 Living May Be Easier.
 There is no assurance that the cost of living will not be decreased with in the next few months and for the railroads to take the position that there would be no requests for de- creased wages, presented in lawful and orderly manner to the railway labor board, there could be no justif- cation.
 Again, in declining the brother hoods demand for the withdrawal of all requests for the elimination of time and one-half for overtime in train and yard service the committee said:
 Cannot Bind Roads.
 Here again the railroads with proper regard for the public interest and their affairs cannot give the as- surance sought. This committee re- alizes that many railroads have cer- tain rules in their schedules which are not in keeping with the rulings and principles laid down by the rail- way labor board and cannot bind themselves to refrain from asking re- lief from such burdensome and ex- pensive conditions where they exist"
 The demands for the restoration of the rates of pay in effect prior to the recent wage cut was declined with the following statement:
 Uphold Authority.
 Tn their duty to the public as im- posed upon them by the transporta- tion act, the railroads must perforce put into effect and main decreases in wages just as they recognize the au- thority of the board in giving each to increases such as were given by decision No. 2, which increased the pay of railroad employees approxi- mately s600,000,0 per annum."

formation can be secured from resi-
dents along the line of the road, also
taking into consideration the present
and probable future traffic which will
use the road. and then it is deter
mined what treatment shall be given
each individual section Of the road,
how much stone base or other founda-
ton will be used and what particular
style Of drainage treatment will be
given.
"You can see that this resolves itself
somewhat into a matter of judgment
based on experience with similar con-
ditions.
I'VE have under contract now one
Smile section of bituminous macadam
which has stone foundation having a
minimum depth of eight inches and
width of IS feet for it's entire length
This is over extremely bad clay soil.
In some places We excayated the clay
and used as much as 30 inches of stone
This particular road is being surfaced
with 2 1-2 inches Of bituminous ma
| cadam. The stone base, however, is
finished off with crushed stone. using
No. 1 stone and enough Of the smaller
size just to level and true the top
: We are planning on building sever
al sections of gravel road this year,
! using the same type of construction,
except that we shall make the surface
of not to exceed 4 inches of gravel over
the stone base. We used this type of
construction in demonstrating several
sections of old gravel road which fail
ed year ago last spring The stone
base was built in the fall of 1919 and
covered with about three inches of
gravel. 1t was surface treated last
summer and last fall we covered these
sections with Topeka top. We do not
expect any more trouble. This type of
construction. that is with a gravel sur
,, race OF inches over the stone base,
will allow us at any time to put on a
Finch top without any further founda-
ton treatment
1t has been our custom in the past
10 use stone base or a stone v drain
whenever we encountered section of
extremely bad clay and to leave it out
when we were on better supporting
SOIL. like sand or gravelly loan or
natural gravelly soil. Where we have
difficulty in securing stone handily we
lay an extra thickness of gravel, using
coarse material running up to inches
IN diameter, and lay that from 4 to s
inches ofagravel surface. Weaha had
very few failures on any of the State
highways we have built during the
last six months and we attribute this
to the care with which we have pre-
pared our foundation"
