Lieut.. Smithe returned from Wash

done or promised to do for No. s, the
state road that will extend from

were reelected as follows:
President-George F. Kellogg, Avon
/ Park.
First Vice-President - Isaac Van
Horn. Haines City.
Second Vice President-Frank S.
Cody, Crooked Lake.
Secretary Treasurer - Mark w.
Lance, Avon Park.
1t was universally felt that Messrs.
Kellogg and Lance were the best men
for the places and they were much
complimented on what has been done
throughout the year.
Mr.. Loudon. Crooked Lake, offered
a resolution praising William CONNIE,
Polk's county agent, for the efforts
made to put up good display for the
Tampa Fair and promising better
support next time.
Mr.. Lance recapitulated what has
been done for. No. s road. The state
board has promised to build a steel
bridge across the Kissimmee river
east of Lake Annie and preliminary
surveys have been made. 1t has prom
ised about 1000 to Highlands coun-
ty for a permanent road grade part
of the way south from Sebring to
Lake Annie which with other money
available makes $SO,OO0 which will
soon be spent there.
Okeechobee county is working on
its end of the road. On the other hand.
Glades county is building from Moore
Haven to Palmdale and the cross-state
road from Fort Myers to West Palm
Beach is well on the way toward COM
pletion Mr.. Lance thought it likely
this road would be done before No. s.
The road from Frostproof to the
Highlands line came in for much crit
icism. The eight miles is in Polk
county. The state board has prom
ised that Polk may use its share of
the automobile license money on this
road and efforts will be made to get
the Polk commissioners to see that
this should be done.
Part of the road is in the city lin
its of Frostproof, though the terri
tory is disputed and Frank Cody
promised to see if that town would
not do something.
Mr.. Lances report showed the
board in good shape. There are ten

visibility Of admitting to the bar those

bers Of the American Bar association,

Decides That Initial Tes-
timony Is Correct-Be-
lief That Broken Rud-
der Controls Was Cause
= Inquiry Progresses
Behind Closed Doors

Norfolk, Feb. 23.-Members of the
army investigating board continued
today their efforts to determine if
possible the definite and primary
cause of the disaster which overlook
the giant army dirigible Roma over
the army base here Tuesday in which
"a of her passengers and crew met
death and the worlds largest semi
rigid aircraft was demolished.
That the fatal crash to earth Of the
great airship followed a breakdown
of the controls regulating the altitude
of the craft appeared today to have
been definitely established in the tes-
timony thus far given. Belief that this
was the general cause of the disaster
was expressed by Maj. General Pat
rick, head of the army service, in
statement issued yesterday on the
basis of initial testimony and there
had been no further official word to-
day. The inquiry is proceeding be-
hind closed doors and no details were
known of the testimony given by TIE
survivors as well as eye-witnesses of
the disaster, experts and others.
Of the eight injured in the accident,
all were said to be making good prog
ress toward recovery today with the
exception of Charles Devorack, SUI
perintendent of construction at Nc
Cook Field, Dayton, Ohio, who w2s
still reported to be in critical con-
dition at the Public Health hospital.
The condition of five of the injured
had permitted them to be removed
from the hospital to Langley Field.
Meanwhile, at Newport News, where
the. dead were taken, relatives and
friends continued to arrive today to
identify the bodies and make arrange
ments to have them removed to their
homes for burial. Officers at Langley
Field had informed city officials there
that arrangements probably would be
completed today to hold funeral serv-
ices tomorrow for all of the thirty
four dead at the undertaking estab-
lishment in Newport News to which
they have been brought. Officials of
that city, Norfolk and Hampton and
several American Legion posts have
arranged to pay tribute to the dead at
the services and during the noon hour
there will be a complete suspension
of all business on the Virginia penin-
sula.

Willing
To Turn over
His Prisoners

Moscow, Feb. 23-"We shall gladly
turn over all the people in our prisons
to foreigners if they will take them
away" said Leon Trotzky, Soviet war
minister, in an interview with foreign
correspondents who asked if he knew
that prisoners were starving and dy-
ing of disease in Soviet jails.
I'VE have our own way of dealing
with prisoners" he went on. You in
the United States electrOcute them
Well, we don't. Also Americans who
wish to realize what happens to pris
oners during revolutions should re-
member their own civil war;" he add
ed, referring to Libby prison.
"As for freeing prisoners, we have
not peace yet on our frontiers. Pet
lura, the Ukraine leader, is sitting in
a hotel at Tarnov, Galicia, plotting
against us, and there are many others.
Anyway, in or out of prison, peo-
pie are dying of hunger. Our famine
on the Volga was partly caused
through the region being ruined by
Kolchaks and the Czechs, financed by
foreign powers.
