SPRINGFIELD, H., July Coon
tending that Governor Small as chief
executive of Illinois, is immune from
arrest on charges of embezzlement,
conspiracy and confidence game to de-
fraud the state, that chaos in state
government would result from his ar
rest, and that the governor has the
power, if necessary, to call out state
troops to hold off sheriff deputies at
the point of the bayonet, counsel for
the governor appeared in Judge
Smiths court this morning in an ef-
fort to persuade the court to have the
warrant for the governor withdrawn.
The constitutional rights of the gov
ernor, they claim, are above interfer-
ence by any branch of the judiciary
as long as he is at the head of the
state governm ent.
Following advice of his counsel,
Governor Small issued a statement in
which he virtually declared he would
resist any attempt to arrest him. Ac.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Half bill

lost in the building industry through
employment, declared a report
made public today by the committee

The committee appointed by Her

STATE ROADS
CONSUME BIG
FUND DAILY
State Spends $4,000 Each
Day for Road Maintenance
Expect All To Be In
Shape by Fall.
PRICES CAUSE DELAY
(By Associated Press)


INDIANAPOLIS. July 22.-Indiana
is spending $4,000 day for road
maintenance but officials expect that
practically every mile of the $500
miles of state highways will be in ex-
cellent condition by fall.
BY the end of the year, the road
maintenance bill will total approx
mately s3,500,000, and while charged
as maintenance" one-third to one
half of the expenditure will have been
virtually for new construction.
Throughout the state roads are be-
ing widened and new beds or grades
are being established, and generally
reconstruction is under way. In many
places ordinary, or bad roads, have
been made into good ones and in
few instances a mere trail has been
widened and transformed into a road
Division of Work.
A. H. Hinkle is chief of the main
tenance division with five district en-
gneers working under him with their
districts divided into 81 subdivisions,
each covered by 10 truck patrolmen.
Each of the patrolmen work daily on
the highways, each with certain
mileage to keep in repair. Lawrence
Lyons, director of the state highway
commission, says numerous letters
praising the fine condition of the
roads are being received.
Prices of material and high freight
rates, the officials say. have caused
some delay in the work. Several OF
| the crushed stone and gravel compan-
| les, however, have cut prices but
! others insist that the prices of two
| years ago must stand, according to of
| ficials. Gravel, they say. is being OBJ
/ tained for 40 cents ton, with SO
cents the highest price paid this year
Last year the highway department
| placed the cost of gravel at rs cents
and stone at s1.10. Stone is being
i bought at IS cents a ton this yeal
with 81 as the top price of 1921 and al
which figure only a small quantity
was bought.

Tuesday night and looked further into
the paving matter. A bid by Adams,

was accepted. The Finley Method
Company will pave all the other
streets. The Finley method was to
have been used on all the streets, but
the wishes of the people living on Ok

Messrs. Burford and Hall were be-
fore the council explaining work and

enterprises on the line that want cleo
tricity, but the matter rests at present
with two big firms, that will probably
