 SOUTHERN STATES
Dixie Has $40, ,Ooo, ,0oO For Highway Work-AIabama Has Already Spent
 $5,OO0,000
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 27.-Southern states have added s4O.OOO,0Oo to their highway improvement funds this sum IT. mer, according to the Chacago Auto mobile association, and improvement work is going forward at top speed in every state south of the Mason and Dixon line. Roads formerly inn passabile, when the tuorist traffic turns southward this fall will be ready to carry their burden, because the reports indicate bond issues and paving projects have met with pub lie approval.
 Tennessee has spent $ss3,0o0 in the last few months on repair and im- provement of main highways. Tho state soon is to vote for a s75,- 0U0,00O bond issue. If possible, the state good roads association, which is fathering the bond issue, claims that a gigantic system of paving highways will be completed in the Eext eight years. At least 50 years would be required to complete the system under the present financing plan, it is said The plan contem- plates no increase in property or ve- hicle tax, it is said. The gasoline tax will serve as a toll charge, col lt tcted only when people actually use the roads
 Alabama Busy
 Alabama another state which car ries the bulk of tourist traffic in the fall and winter, has invested about $5,000,000 in highway improvements this summer. reports indicate. Geor- gia has added a total of S7SO,O00 for repairs and extensions of the state systems. Kentucky has made many improvements in its roads and has contracts under way estimated at $270.000.

ENGLAND EXCITED
 OVER OWNERSHIP
 OF LONDON TIMES
Lord NorthcIiffe Left Two Wills-0ne Already Con- teSted-SaIe of Pa-
 per Expected
By Associated Press

Londcn, August zf.-Ine oWnerSnip of the London Times and the policy of Lord Northcliffe's leading news paper, were questions. which domi- mated todays newspapers. Incidental ly, 1t was learned that there is to be a contest over Lord Northcliffe's will and three caveats have been entered against its probate. It now develops that Lord Northcliffe made two wills, one date March z2, 1919. and another shortly before his death, of which the sole executor is Lady Northcliffe.
 The admitting of the will to pro- bate will end all speculation con- corning it's contents. There are those who believe that Lord Northcliffe took steps perpetually to dominate the policies of the Times by some sort of organization similar to the Cecil Rhodes trust or the Rockefel- Ter foundation. It fs generally agreed that if Lord Northcliffe shares in the London Times are disposed of in open market, there will be a scramble like that of 1908 when Harmsworth. by his strategy. barely nosed out Arthur Bearson as a suc- cessor to the Walter interests who controlled the newspapers for cen- tury.
 James L. Garvin. in the Observer, mentions possible buyers of the Times. naming Sir John Ellerman, the second largest shareholder in the paper, and Lord Rothermere. yiscount Northcliffe's brother.
 Garvin also considers Sir William Berry as a prospective buyer. Sir William Is already a power in Fleet street as the owner of the Sunday Times Among Garvin's other guesses is Lord Beaverbrook, owner of the Express whose dev1opment in re- cent years has been comparable with that of the Daily Mail. Three or four other dark horses" among them foreign publishers, have been men, toned, but Garvin says that any at- tempt by outsiders to get control of the Times will fail.
 Sale Probable
 The Express asserts that Lord Northclife's estate is estimated at 4,00O, 900 pounds sterling. of which. heavy death duties must be paid. This likely will compel the trustees to dispose of certain of his interests and therefore 1t Is anticipated that control of the Times eventually will pass into other hands.
 An interesting turn was taken in Lord Northcliffe's affairs by the en- tertaning of three caveats aginst the admission of the will. or the grant ing of letters of administration to the Northcliffe estate. This will pre- vent the administration of the estate until the persons entering the ca yeats have been heard. Appearances to the caveats were made by Henry Preuss Arnholse, Lord Northcliffe's

LABOR LEADER MAKES ATTACK ON
 RAILWAY HEADS
Declares Association of Rail- way Executives a Danger ouS Body, Controlled by
 Cuyler and Loree
By Associated Press

New York, August 27-Investiga- ton of the Association of Railway Executives by the United States Sen ate as directly responsible for the failure to end the railroad shopmen's S strike was suggested In a telegram sent today by John Dowd, chairman of the central strike committee for the Metropolitan district, to Albert $. Cummins, chairman of the Sen ate interstate commerce committee.
 After suggesting that the commit tee investigate the association. "In it's relation to the present shopmen's s strike and of it's origin and activi- ties in general" the telegram con tinued:
 This group of individuals has eff fectually prevented a settlement of the railroad strike. even when such n settlement was urgently requested by the President of the United States and agreed upon by the unions in- volved."
 Asserting that the rejection of mediation proposals by the railway executives did not represent the opin- ion of majority of the members of the association, the telegram added
 The evidence Is overwhelming that the proceeding of this associa- tion have. for the past year. been manipulated and controlled, con trary to the best interests of the rail- roads and the public. by T. Dewitt Cuyler and l.. F. Loree. An ex- animation of individual members of this association on the witness stand would reveal situation that would startle the country and prove of in- lestimable benefit both to the Ameri- can railroad industry and to the pub lie at large"
 Branded As Dangerous
 Comm menting on the telegram, Chairman Dowd said:
 There never can be peace in the railroad industry while the Associa- ton of Railway Executives continues to exist.
 Here is a union more dang gerous than any labor union could ever be. This association Is union of 100 or so men. clother with prodlgious power, and absolutely controlled by it's small inner circle of half dog en men, more power than all other members put together.
 "The member of this inner circle are out to establish the open shop on American railroads.
 Tt is four weeks now since this union defied the nation. Since then. 1t has closed the door upon any pos sbility of peace. It is this one union that is beyond all public con trol"
 Railroad executives, who were seen following the filing of MT. Dowd's telegram, declined to make any statement
