CONFERENCE To
SUPPORT ROADS
FOR FARME RS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. H.
Especially Go of the three
major forms of transportation so that
railways waterways and highways
may each carry the kind of traffic
that it. can most economically, ex
peditiously and efficiently serve was
urged by President Harding's agri-
cultural conference held recently
here.
Country highways, declared the
agriculturalists, are the farmers
first and principal means OF market
ing their products. They are, it was
declared, the arteries of the economic
and social system of the country
and on their condition rests the
amount of transportation charge that
must be added to the gross cost of
farm products.
The attention OF the country was
called to the heavy losses now sus-
tanned by farmers on account of bad
roads and to the economic and social
benefits which accrue TO them and
to the people OF the whole country
as result of general road improve
ment. The conference declared that
farmers ought to ije able to haul to
markets twice as much and twice
as often as he has been able to do
in the past and that if the farmer
Is u help influence the price of his
products by nots dumping them on
the market for fear of unreasonable
weather, he must control the con-
dition Of the roads to his markets.
To bring about the general inn
provement OF highways and to facili-
tate the farmers marketing problem,
the conference went on record as
being in favor of highway research
1y federal, state and college authori-
lies to the end that traffic on high
ways may be regulated according to
the facts developed.
Congress was urged to continue
federal aid for the building of inter-
state, postal and the farm mar
ket roads and to appropriate ade-
quate funds for a definite period so
that the states may plan equitable
cooperation.
The conference urged that every
possible effort be made to promote
safety Of life and limb on the high
ways and that as economy Of trans
portation depended on well -kept
highways, that all possible safe
guards should be placed about the
maintenance OF the roads.
Realizing that traffic conditions are
rapidly changing ana that road build
ing Is now an important engineering
and business undertaking, the con-
ference urged that all partisan or
political considerations in such work
must be eliminated

STUDEBAKER HAS
GOOD RECORD.
F Or PAST YEAR

Breaking records has been a regu-
lar habit in the Studebaker organl-
zation for more than year and
during the past week came the an
niversary OF the beginning of The
record breaking career says M. T.
Barrett, local distributor.
1t was early in February Of 1921
that a light six Studebaker set now
road records between Los Angeles
and san Francisco. In March it Went
after the desert record between Los
Angeles and Phoenix and tore a big
chunk of time from il.
Increased buying Of Studebaker
cars began at the same time, and
month after month sales records We're
set a notch higher until in June th,
largest volume OF Studebakcr busi
ness ever recorded for the SouthWcsl
was reported.
The factory is credited with pro
ducing more six cylinder motor cars
during last year than of any Other
make OF six manufactured

in Los Angeles, the largest direct
sales branch operated by that COM
pany.
In making the change to the new
Durant organization, Mr.. Stewart
does so from no dissatisfaction with
the former connection, but because
he feels that he would rather be as
sociated with the men with whom he
had been working so long.

most important, there are many
others worthy of mention, such as:
Modern service practices and eff
cheney; financial arrangements which
make it easier for the man of linn
tied income to own a car: govern
mental recognition of the motor car
as a national necessity; and the edu
cational work being carried on by
the industry.

Durant'S Price To
Be Raised Today

Announcement is made this morn
ing by the II. & II. Motor company
that the price of the Durant car win
be raised today. This, it is believed,
marks the first of a series Of price
raises, as it is conceded by automo-
bile men the country over that the
present high quality built into auto
mobiles cannot be maintained at the
low selling prices of today. Julian
Holmes Of the III. q f. Motor COM
pany stated his belief i'm the fact
that the bottom of low prices had
been reached. Manufacturers have
taken their losses and are now at
the point where they must either
make a profit or get out of busi-
ness" declared Holmes.

ANTHRACITE GOES UP
WITH HEAVY DEMAND
Transportation Still a Prob.
lem, Says Authority.

THE croland for all domestic sizes
Of anthracite continues to be extremely
heavy, while the supply remains far be-
low necessary requirements,"=say the
Black Diamond. Much dissatisfaction
prevails In all districts where anthracite
is used heavily for household purposes
and many expedlents have been tried in
an effort to meet the situation. Retail
dealers as well as civic and commercial
associations have been urging house
holders to substitute the smaller sizes
of anthracite wherever possible. Much
also has been accomplished In the way
OF persuading the public to burn coke
and smokeless and bituminous cqal
where possible.
Prices In most sections of the ooun-
Try have remained stable, but luctua-
tions have been noted here and there,
some downward and others up. One
feature was the announcement Of n
slight advance in the prices of anthra-
cite. both by old line companies and in
dependent producers.
'"rhe car situation has shown little i'm.
provement. the production and dstribu.
tion of coal still being greatly hampersd

Special Dispateh 10 THE New York HERALD.
NEW brunswick, Dec. 1o.--A new
lead, which it is believed will greatly
strengthen the case against those be-
I'lieved TO have been implicated in the
murder of the Rev. Edward w. Hall
and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, has been un-
earthed within the last few days by
County Detective David of Middlesex
county and County Detective Totten
of Somerset county. Wilbur A. Mott.
Special Deputy Attorney General. who
is expected to resume his investigation
tomorrow, has been apprised of the
new developments.
David said tonight that some work
of importance had been accomplished
and that, from his point Of view and
that Of Totten the outlook was brighter
than it had been. AS far as can be
learned the new lead, while in way
strengthening the jealousy theory,
brings out two or three new phases
that II Is hoped will make possible the
Identification as the actual murderers
of others than those under surveillance
to date.
David and some OF the other detectives
contend the blackmail theory has been
entirely eliminated They argue that in
no circumstances would the blackmaiiers
! have killed Hall, who had $4,000 read
| lily available At the same time the
comblng of New Brunswicks under

| blackmal theory and that of mistaken
identity given UP the activity of the
sleuths at this time would indicate a
belief that the crime may have beer
committed by hired assasslns.

BAN VOLUNTEERS
OF AMERICA DRIVE
Coler Says Solicitation Last
January Broke Faith
With City.

The Volunteers OF America have been
refused permission to solicit money on
the streets for Christmas. Bird s. coler.
Commissioner OF Public Welfare, Issued
a statement yesterday explaining why
he permits the Salvation Army to con-
duet it's annual street corner drive and
denied the same privilege to a rival
organization.
THE Salvation Army.N the Commits
sioner said, has kept faith with the
Welfare Department. The Volunteers
Jf America have not. A few days after
January /, 1922, the Volunteers OF
America began soliciting throughout the
streets against the wishes of this depart
ment. Arrests were made, and as a
result they attacked the validity of the
ordinance limiting street collections,
,ExGovernor Whitman is their counsel,
and the case has been postponed month
after month and finally set for peeem-
her 15."
Mr.. Whitman said the continuance
was at the request of the District At
torney. In his opinion the Volunteers
are right he declared So far their
contention that they cannot be restrained
from street soliciting has been sustained
by the court, and Justice Mullin will
hand down decision Friday which Gov
Whitman thinks will be favorable to
his clients, In that case, he said, he
would advise them to go ahead and
solicit regardless of Commissioner coleF
Mr.. Colers statement continues.
"We now have request from the
Volunteers, OF America TO collect upon
the streets for three weeks during De-
cember. We cannot see our way clear
to grant this request, for the reason
that the Volunteers of America have
broken faith with this department. !
believe they broke faith because they
knew the Salvation Army would be off
the streets and that good many people
would not know the difference between
them.
"The purpose Of the ordinance to my
mind is not alone for taking iliegitimate
collections from the streets, but for SO
limiting good ones that the people will
not be continually harassed the whole
year round If the Volunteers OF Amer
lea win their case l take II that the
streets of New York will be flooded with
all types of solicitation. This l do not
believe to be either In the interests OF
good morals or the best interests Of
private charities themselves or the pub
lic welfare in general"
