was responsible for all that happened.
A coat.of tar was applied to his face. he

Smiths story indicated that ku Klux

dragged him at the end of a rope.
Some time ago Smith was arraigned
here on a charge of beating his wife.
A fine was imposed, and since then Mrs

London, Sept. !.
In Westminster Abbey two nations to-
day mourned the victims of the ZR-2.
Crowds of silent. saddened people with
Americans almost as numerous as the
British packed the cathedral long be-
fore the midday hour opening of the
memorial service, and hundreds waited
outside.
The international aspect with two
flags, the two national anthems which
we're sung. and with uniformed service
men of the two countries went to make
the sorrow akin to that which marked
the burial of an unknown soldier few
months ago.
The most prominent seats were re-
served for the bereaved, and there we're
many women relatives and friends Of
the dead who for the first time gathered
together in their common sorrow and
many were overcome by it.
The memorial service was conducted
by DR.. II. F. Ryle. Dean OF Westminster
Abbey: Cannon Storr and. the Revs. L.
II. Nixon as precentor The Lesson was
upon the subject of Wisdom from the
text: "All things are passed away like a
shadow a ship that passeth over
the waves OF water. which when it Is
gone by, trace thereof cannot be found"
The address was delivered by the
Rev. H. d. L. Wiener. chaplain in chief
of the British Royal Air Force.
''The blow has fallen with awful
suddenness." he said in part, ION two
kindred forces of two great nations

\ n cAA,sBuIL,o SOLOMON Road
lslfae n. IN AAl@l- 10 w n 'tsfi Il
SIs, 900, a Mile Is assured BY Gov
~ eminent Aid

The Solomon Abilene road can be
hard. surfaced and federal aid to 49,
600 mile will be given, all the ar
rangements having been finished by
the government and state highway
commission. The petition Is In the
hands Of the county commissioners
and have been approved. All neces-
sary now is to let the contract as Is
being urged by the residents OF the
district and by Solomon. Owing to
the conditions by which the aid Is
given which are only for this appro-
priation there will be a rush by Kan
sas counties to get in. about 10 coun-
ties having applications pending.
Kansas will get the full allotment
of $3.50, 900 federal aid availabie
January /. to apply with her regular
half apportionment Of state and couh-
ty funds for the immediate COM
mencement of the 100000 winter
road building program to relieve the
unemployment situation In the stare.
This information was received at To-
peka in a telegram last night from M.
w. Watson, state highway engineer
and members of the state highway
commission, following conference at
Omaha, Neb., with the chiefs or the
federal bureau Of public roads.
Conditions imposed in the recently
enacted federal aid law stipulate that
full control of the state road building
program must be vested in the state
highway commission under the direc-
ton Of the secretary Of agriculture
whose department includes the fed
eral bureau Of public roads. To meet
those conditions Kansas would have
had to enact special legislation, as
such control Is now In the counties
undertaking the road improvement
work, under the supervision OF the
state highway commission.
The special ruling applies fol
three years, or until after the mex,
regular session Of the legislature, the
final date being November 8, 1924
If Kansas has not enacted laws plac'
ing control of the state road building
program in the hands Of the state
commission by that time no furthel
federal aid will be allowed this state
according to the ruling made yester
day.
After three years Of road improve
ment financing by county units th'
federal bureau considers such contro
impracticable, according to Watson
message. The importance of system
attic state maintenance and railroad
grade crossing elimination was EN-
phasized by the federal authorities a
the conference.
The ruling was interpreted by tn
chief solicitor Of the federal bureau
who, with the chief engineer OF tn
bureau, worked out the details Of tn
special permission for this state a
the conference with the Kansas OIL
Gals.
