Polk Road
Delays Are
Protested
West Side Counties
Are Given Permis-
sion to Take Hand In
Suit Filed

Indignant over the repeated at
tempts of Polk county citizens to
delay work on the West Side high
way through that county by means
Of injunction petitions and other
legal action, Yamhill and Lincoln
counties have asked permission OF
the state highway commission to
intervene in, the suit filed by resi-
dents OF Independence to enjoin
the commission and the Polk coun-
ty court from proceeding with the
construction of the highway along
the route designated by the high
way commission.
1t is understood that both Ben
ton and Washington counties will
take similar action.
The plea that they be allowed to
intervene in the suit is based On
the theory that each Of the coun-
ties involved have bonded them
selves for the Improvement of the
West Side highway, a state road
constructed for the benefit of the
entire state, and that they are be-
ing made to suffer because the OPP
position in Polk county is dam
aging the interests of the neigh
boring counties by delaying con-
struction Of the road.
1t was stated at the offices OF
the highway commission this
morning that work on the road
projects in Polk county contracts
for which have been let, is being
pushed ahead as rapidly as possi-
BILE and that the work will con-
tinue unless an injunction is is
sued by the court. Reports from
Dallas say that grading crews are
busy on the Salem-D Dallas road. tie
contractors are opening up the
paving plant near Rickreall and
the laying Of "hot stuff between
Dallas and Brunk's corner is ex-
pected to start in the near future.

High Winds and

High winds in the Sacramento

but we do not believe the
granting of. adjusted compensa-
tion would bring such disaster to
our country" the Legion adjutant
continued. Opponents of the
measure have centered their at
tack on the cash bonus feature.
There are four other options. A
service man under the bill could
obtain loans for the purchase of a
house and lot or for the purchase
of farm; he could receive tech.
nical or vocational training OF lie
could receive paid up insurance.
We do not believe that any legisla-
tion tending to make the service
man an independent home owner
or which would give him an edu-
cation or give to his family insur-
ance in event of his death would
visit destruction on our country.
"We oppose delay in the con-
sideration of the adjusted compen-
sation measure which has passed
the house. There has been too
much delay already. Now there
are half million service men out
of work and a dire need exists for
adjustment of the economic bal
ance between those who served and
those who did not"
While disagreeing with the ad-
ministration' view Of obligation
to the service man the Legion Of
ficial expressed hearty approval of
President Harding's steps toward
international disarmament.
"The American Legion has been
answering in its advocacy Of dis
armament" Mr.. Bolles said. 1--WE
hone to do our part in bringing
about this stable condition which
will relieve the countries of the
world of the crushing burden Of
taxation which preparation for
war entails and to make more re-
mote the possibility of war. A
party of Legion officials from each
state of the Union will go to
France this fall to meet representa-
tives of all allied veteran organiza-
tions. At that time we hope to
work out plans whereby the men
who fought to preserve civilization
in the world war will again offer
their services, this time to make
impossible a recurrence of such n
dread calamity"

DeVaIera Meet
Alone Is Report

London, July 13.-The first
meeting between Premier Lloyd
George and Eamonn Devalera, the
Irish republican leader, will be
held at 1890 p. m. Thursday at No.
l Downing street, the prime min
ister's official residence, it was
announced at Sim Fein headquar-
ters here today. 1t is inferred that
the conference is to be between
those two men alone.
Final preparations for the meet
ing were being made today by the
government and the Irish delega-
tion but the procedure to be fol-
lowed has not been announced.
1t was thought possible that
General j. c. Smuts, premier of the
Union of South Africa would play
very definite role in the nego-
tiations.
General Smuts has been consid-
cred the man chiefly responsible
for the rapid development of peace
moves in Ireland, and late last
week it was said he might act as
temporary chairman of the coming
conference.
Mr.. DeValera and his colleagues
spent the night at hotel with
friends in this city last night. Dur
ing the evening there was a meet
ing OF Sim Fein sympathizers at
which it is assumed the situation
was quite thoroughly canvassed.
reports from Ireland indicate
the truce which. became effective
at noon last Monday was being OBJ
served. The observance of "0range-
mems Day" in Belfast yesterday
was not attended by any violence
and it would appear that both
sides in the bitter strife in the
Emerald Isle were resolved not to
embarrass their leaders in their
efforts to arrange peace.

twenty minutes before the boiler
of the engine exploded and the
engineers body was found, is on
$4,000 bond, giving after a pre-
liminary hearing at Maria.
At the time of the explosion
Stirman declared he saw the train
slowing down as it was on a steep
grade near Paisano, Texas, and
that he started toward the front
of the train to see what was the
matter, When close to the tender
he reported, he saw a tall man
dressed in black flee from the
train. He called at him to stop

ment of Mrs. Leeds

poughkeepsie, N. Y, July l5.-
Identification Of James A. stu
mans photograph as that OF the
man she had seen in the apartment
of Mrs Florence H. Leeds, to~mut
broadway show girl, was under
stood to have been made t.'day by
Mrs ". Hill, nurse employed by
Mrs Leeds after the birth Of Jay
Ward Leeds in September, 1913.
Never Heard Name.
The nurse was the second wit"
ness for Mrs. Anne U. Stillinan,
who began her recriminations
against Mr.. Stillman when their
divorce battle was renewed today
before Referee Gleason. Mrs.
Leeds apartment was on Eighty.
sixth street, New York, short
distance off Fifth avenue.
Mrs. Hill, it was declared, said
she had never heard the man ad-
dressed either as Mr.. Stillman or
Mr.. Leeds while in the apartment.
DR.. James 0gilvie of New Yol k
testified to being present at the
birth Of the boy and identified a
photograph of Mrs. Leeds as the
mother, it was said. He could not
identify Mr.. Stillman's photograph
as that of the father, explaining
that he had no distinct recollec-
tion Of the appearance of "Mr,
Leeds" it was reported.
Plaintiff Rests Case.
The plaintiff rested his case to-
day after long arguments over
past testimony and evidence dur
ing which it was said Referee Dan
iel ], Gleason finally refused to ad-
nit questions which were asked of
Mr. Stillman during redirect ex-
animation at a previous hearing.
These questions were described as
leaving the inference that the
banker would have been willing to
let Mrs. Stillman bring the suit
for divorce had it been possible in
that way to test the legitimacy Of
her youngest son, Guy Stillman.
The referee also was reported to
have stricken out of the record to-
DAY certain fragments of testei-
mony given by DR.. Hugh l.. Rus
sell, Buffalo osteopath who treated
MRS Stillman before Buys birth.
This testimony, it was said, re-
sarded a trip Mrs. Stillman made

tor' Previously other testimony by
the osteopath had been expunged.

FOR the first time since the
hearings started in December Mrs.
