GEORGIA WILL GET
BIC SUM FOR ROADS
BY THEODORE FILLER
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building,

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Passage
by the house Of the federal aid roads
bill promises that within the next
two years nearly $4,0OO,00o Of fed
eral funds will be available for high
way construction in Georgia.
For the entire country, the bill
authorizes appropriations of $685.
100000 for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1923, and SIS 100000 for the
following fiscal year. On the basis
of population and mileage under the
apportionment plan, it is estimated
that Georgia should receive approx
mately $1,7O0,000 for the first year,
and $1,990,000 for the second year,
Or more than $3,500,O00 in all. This,
matched by state money, will give
more than 100000 for Georgia s
roads in four years.
Representative William w. Lar
sen, the Georgia member Of the
house committee, took an active part
in putting the bill through that
body.
Because of it's extensive mileage
anG liberal allowances under the
bill, passage of the bill by the house
with favorable action in the senate
regarded as certain, will give inn
petus to road construction in various
states and relieve the anxiety which
has been felt because Of the deple-
ton of federal funds. Proponents
of the bill also said today that it
would aid in solving the unemploy-
n1ent problem.
Appropriations for a period Of
i
of the roads committee, in present
ing the measure, "are authorized for
the reason that every witness ap-
pearing before the committee stress
ed the Importance of providing for
at least two years to enable the state
highway departments to know in
advance the sums to be available
from federal sources and to make
their plans accordingly"
The house committee reported that
the cost of road construction has
been constantly decreasing during
the past year, and since the war.
During the war period, the commit
tee investigation showed the cost of
construction was about 100 per cent
above that Of pre-war days. Advo-
Gates of the legislation said this re-
duction should be reflected in the
amount of the federal appropriation
and the sums of SOS 100000 and $75,,
100000 were deemed sufficient.
The states, of course, to obtain
this federal aid must match these
sums, dollar for dollar. In view Of
the decreased cost of construction.
the bill carries a proviso that fed"
eral participation in road building
for the next fiscal year shall not
exceed $4,000 per mile and federal
participation the following year shall
not exceed $4,000 per mile.

Table Of Napoleon
Cause Of This Suit

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May "A
mahogany table once owned by Ma
poleon Bonaparte is the cause of a
suit being filed in the circuit court
in Birmingham. The table was the
property of the great Napoleon dur
ing the days of his exile and was
used by him on the Island of st.
Helena. The table is valued at $4,000,
according to the suit filed.
Many years ago J. A. Mcknight,
of Birmingham, visited the Island of
st. Helena and purchased the table
and brought it to Birmingham. In
after years, Mr.. Mcknight suffered
financial losses and borrowed a sum
of money from Harry G. Woodward
giving the table as security. Now it
is alleged by Mr.. Mcknight in the
suit filed in court that Mr.. Wood
ward is about to turn the table over
to a museum, regardless of the fact
that he has the money to pay the
loan now.
The table is reputed to be between
$50 and 200 wears old

CARING FOR DOUGHBOYCc'
WIVES A BIG PROBLEM
SHELL OIL GROUP
GETS RUSS FIELDS

LONDON, May "A gigantic in
dustrial agreement was signed on
Sunday at Genoa by representatives
of the Russian soviet government
and the Shell group Of British oil
companies, telegraphs the Genoa cor
respondent of the Evening News.
Under the agreement, he writes,
the Shell group will control all sales
and, under certain conditions, all
production of oil in every part Of
Russia for an agreed period. The
concession may be renewed by mu-
tual consent.
Fifty per cent OF the net profits
will be allotted to the soviet gov
eminent and the other so per cent to
the Shell group. The working of
the oil fields will be administered by
the British companies under the pro,
visions of the Russian judicial code
and the proviso that not more than
so per cent Of the workers employed
shall be foreigners.
The correspondent understands
that the Shell combine has arranged
to apply the greement almost i'm
mediately to- the Caspian fields, TAX
ing charge of the pipe line from
Baku to Batum, and also to develop
the vast potential fields in Uralsk
province. ...
Leonid Krassin, the soviet min.
ister of trade and commerce, signed
the agreement, the decision to sign
being reached, says the dispatch,
only after the Russians on several
occasions had played off the various
groups against one another to OBJ
tain better offers for the privileges,
involving millions of pounds worth
Of output from oil fields which, next
to- those of the United States, are
the most prolific in the world!
1t is more than possible, adds
the correspondent, that difficult com
plications may result over the work
ing of important areas in which the
Standard Oil company had conces-
sions prior. to the soviet nationalist
ton of the fields.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-Two
men were shot and killed. early to-
day in what police believe was an

died in a hospital from three bullet
wounds, said he had killed Buck"
Bailey in a pistol duel, according to
the police. Bailey was shot five
times. Singers story was that the
men had quarreled over a woman,
police said.
: Another version was given by

shooting. He said Singer and Bailey
were shot by six men who drove
to q Melton street house in an auto
mobile and began firing wildly in
the parlor.
hs Residents of the vicinity told po-

containing about six men, stop at

TARIFF TO BE- BIG
ISSUE IN CA|NPA|

- WASHINGTON, May 1.-The
F'ordney- McCumber tariff bill is such
an indefensible measure that it must
become one of the great issues in
the next campaign, it was declared
here today by Representative FINS
]. Garrett, of Tennessee, acting floor
leader Of the Democrats of the house.
Mr.. Garrett says the pending tariff
bill is infinitely worse than the
Payne-A ldrich law, revulsion against
which swept control Of the house
away from the Republicans during
the Taft administration.
'The tariff" said Representative
Garrett. ~"is certain to become lead
ing issue in our next campaign.
The excessive protective rates and
determinations of the bill now pend
ing are worse than the Payne-Ald-
rich law, yet the country seems as
yet unawakened to the iniquities OF
the measure.
81 hear practically no demand for
enactment of a tariff law. The only
persons who seem to discuss it are
those opposing it. I have been un-
able to find anybody who is clamor-
ing for the enactment of TARIFF
bill at this time, and particularly a
tariff bill such as the majority party
has presented. Democrats will not
overlook an opportunity to show up
this bill on the Hastings, and we
are going to hear more about the
tariff in the next campaign than for
several years past"
Democrats of the house expect the
tariff bill to help them to overturn
the present top-heavy Republican
majority in the lower body. There
is no real hope of regaining control
of the senate this year, but the
Democrats believe the country will
be in such discomfort by election
that the votes will turn out the pres
ent house majority.
