Report of Road Program Does Specify Beach

Emmanuel as Being Independent Project

The special committee appointed al
the meeting Monday of the county
commissioners to draft reply to the
statements made in The Journal Sun
day and Monday mornings met again
last night and correlated its data but
decided that the figures needed further
verification. For that reason the re-
ply was held up and the committee
will meet with the Joint Commission
on Road Improvement at the chamber
OF commerce rooms at o'clock Thurs
day afternoon to adopt the reply in
its final form.
The committee did submit an out
line of its reply and also an outline
of its program for road construction.
County Attorney Reese submitted a
letter explaining the legal delays in
getting the bonds approved by the
bond attorney.
In its suggestions for road con-
struction program. the special com
mittee recommended that the county
board prepare to take care of $1,000.
600 in bonds under this years budget
in order that construction may be
started and that federal and state aid
may be met. Otherwise, the report said
the county might lose 5000, 900 of fed
eral aid.
In case the entire million dollars
worth of bonds are not sold the re-
port says, the taxes raised under this
years levy will not be used and the
levy next year can be made smaller
The report says that at the time of
the campaign for the bond election
an estimate of the amount of bonds
to be sold each year was made and
submitted strictly as an estimate. This

FOR CONFERENCE
Last Obstacle Removed in Plan
for Limitation Of Arma-

FRANCE, JAPAN AND

Progress in Arranging for the
Conference WilINo Longer
Be DELAYED.
fRv The AssocIaed Press.1

WASHINGTON, Aug. Great Brit
aims acquiescence in TIE suggestion that
the conference on Imitation of arrna-
ments be held in N~ember and the
cessation of her effors to have a pre-
liminary conference yere regarded by
American officials todv as the removal
of almost the last obtacle in the way
to an agreement on thegenera1 plan.
For more than week there has been
in progress an Interchange of ideas both
on the question of tim and the agenda
carried on by the representatives here of
the foreign governmeHs by discussing
the questions among tlamselves and with
the secretary of stateand by the dipIo-
matte representatives of the United
States and other powe; in the respective
capitals.
The official informapn concerning the
, British decision is dderstood to have
reached the state depstment through its
own diplomatic chahels and to have
been result of thsconversations be-
tween the British reign office and
foreign diplomats acedited to the Brit
ish government.
The somewhat coHlex means of ex-
changing opinions al suggestions prob
ably will continue tdbe used, 1t was in
dicated, in defining far as possible the
scope of the confeIlce and the nature
of the agenda. It not believed likely
that Japan will inst upon any preliml-
marx conferencA a Il had been raade
rcTear that the Arndcnns government viii
interpose no objecffn to preliminary dis
cussions Of the agada SO long as those
discussions are eontned to what has been
described as an iterchange of opinions
and ideas
Unless ID such reliminary interchanges
unexpecta barrirs are encountered, it is
believed be conference will be held in

reported is wiling to have the discus

Caruso Away Naples After Showing Improve

at Loss of One of It's Most Noted TenOrs

n A p L E S. Italy,
Aug. 2.-Caruso died
today. The great
singer, whose ulti-
mate recovery had
been hoped for un-
der the benignant
influences of his own
Italy, passed away at
9 o'clock this morn
ing at the Hotel We
suvius in this city.
He had been brought
here hurriedly from
Sorrento, on the Bay
Of Naples, where less
than a week ago he
avowed his returning
strength and ex-
pressed the convic-
tion that he would
sing again as in the
old days.
He had been able
to visit the famous
sanctuary of Our
Lady of Pompei' Civ
ing thanks offering
for his recovery. He
went to the Island
of Capri, where he
attended a luncheon
in his honor. But
soon afterwards un-
favorable symptoms,
in the form of a high
fever, m a n | + ested
themselves, and his
wife telegraphed to
a Rome specialist to
come to Sorrento: it
was then discovered
that a new internal
abscess ahd devel-
oped.
Caruso's removal
to Rome for an oper-
alton was advised.
but he showed such
weakness that 1t was
impossible to trans
fer him further than
Naples, whore he ar
