Deputy Attorney General Mott stat
ed today that he had found a per
son who corroborated the story tolc
,by Mrs. Jane Gibson, who witnessed
the Staying Of Rev. Hall and Mrs

This case" said Mott, dis com.

added that he could take his evidence
to the grand jury Immediately, but
that the complexity of the case made
it necessary for him to go slow.

torney general, who has taken over
the inquiry into the Hall-1Iills mur-

cause the churchman's arrest unless
he agraas to become a witness for the
prosecution Failure Of the man,
said to have been near the scene of
the murder, to acquaint the authori-
ties with his alleged knowledge of the
affair, has laid him liable to arrest,
prosecutor Mott believes.
Mott is said TO be in possession Of
data showing that this same man had
discovered the letters of Mrs. Eleanor

that he showed them to Mrs. Frances

Average Cost Per Mile Is
Fixed at Seventeen
Thousand Dollars

Washington, Oct. 27.-A program
for good roads construction during
the next fifteen to twenty years
which will make the road transpor-
tation facilities of the United States
| far exceed those of any other nation
| in the world, past or present, is the
aim Of the federal government. The
highways of Rove, even, whose fame
has come down through the centu-
jries, will pale by comparison, Off
,cials declare. Under the program,
there will be built, during the period,
100000 miles of improved highways,
which will constitute the federal-aid
highway system, and an equal or
greater mileage Of state and local
roads.
Details Of this vast program will
be placed before the conference of
the highway education board, meet
ing here from October 26 to 28, by
state highway engineers and Off
cials of the bureau of public roads,
of the United States department of
agriculture, to whom has been en-
trusted the work of planning and
supervising the construction of the
federal aid highways.
The plan will be presented espe-
cially to enable the road to proceed
authoritatively with it's work of de-
vising aids for schools and colleges
to which the road builders of the
country are turning for competent
highway engineers.
To Spend $3,OOO,OOO,OOO.
Officials of the bureau place the
aggregate cost of the federal aid pro-
gram alone at about $3,000,000, 900,
spread over the period. They base
their estimate on an average cost of
$4,000 per mile. The average cost,
in turn, takes into consideration all
classes of improved highways from
the cheapest to the most expensive.
Approximately one-third of the pro-
posed system, or 10000 miles of i'm
proved highways, already are either |

WASHINGTON OBSERVES
Navy Leads in Paying
Tribute to Man Who
Did Much For Tt
(By Associated Press)

(! Washington, Oct 27.-fhe spirit
of Theodore Roosevelt walked abroad
in Washington today.
Formal celebration of his birthday
was claimed by the navy for its own,
| and there is none who would chal-
lenge the navy's right to revel in
memories of revolt, pay gladly the
debt Of gratitude it owes to him.
But aside from all this, from the
prepared addresses on Navy day that
dealt largely with his sayings and
his works for the navy, there ran
curious undercurrent of talk among
men everywhere that bore witness to
the place the dead president had
made for himself in American hearts.
1t was natural that around the
navy department Roosevelt's name
should find its way into every cas-
ual conversation as older officers
paused to chat moment in the long
corridors. Many of these had per-
sonal stories to recall of his fearless
career as assistant secretary of the
navy, the post his son and namesake
now holds.
Traditions old in the navy were
shattered in those days and new ira
ditions, dear to the hearts of sailor
folk of today, were built up in their
place around the dominant, energetic,
eager personality that even an as
sistant secretaryship could not sub
due.
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 27.-The
United States "owes it's independence
and commanding position in the
worlds affairs largely to the
achievements of it's navy" Rear Ad-
miral Hugh Rodman, who command

Battling the Wind.
have received several requests
lately for advice and instruction in re-
gard to meeting wind conditions,
where so many seem to fail
There are countless golfers whose
games simply crack when brisk wind
comes up, yet the wind is one of the
finest hazards We have and one of the
best tests Of sound game.
There are always many occasions
thruout a season, especially in sum-
mer, when so many seek the seaside
as a leading problem and tackled in
the right way if one cares to do any
scoring.
The Low Ban.
Into the wind from the tee it is al
ways better to keep the ball fairly low.
Even well hit ball that scars UP
will not fight its way very far against
a stiff wind.
Here I suggest a little flatter swing
going back, with just a little flatter
finish
If the hands are lifted too high they
are harder to control, and higher
ball is likely to come off.
But with the hatter back swing and
the 6atter finish, with the hands we'll
down, the low ball is easier to get.
Here also I suggest stronger wrist
action. with slightly firmer wrists.
Stand ahead of the ball more, keeping
the ball back where it can be played
nearer the right heel than the left
The weight. too, should be we'll on

Taylor the Star.
J. H. Taylor has been the greatest
player in a wind that I have ever
known
Taylor has a fiat swing with a,
straight left arm. straighter than
usual
He keeps his weight well on the
left for all shots into the wind, and
quite often for his normal shots when
there is little wind to bother with. He
also has compact style, with his
right elbow close in and his wrists
extremely hrm-not stiff or rigid, but
firm and under full control.
I also advise into the wind a shorter
swing. Usually this is where most
golfers attempt to kill the ball, with
sad results.
The ball of course must be we'll hit
into the wind, but at least make an at
tempt not to press. Accept the slight
ly shorter distance and don't over
swing.
With the Wind
In playing with the wind, If you
want the ball to be kept up, keep the
weight more back upon the right foot.
with the ball further forward, off the

Here one can also use wrists not

more phable.

In the same way if you are playing

rather than to take the shorter dis
tance club and try too hard to get
home.
I think it is safer 10 hit hard with
the wind at your back, using of course,
the club with less range, and to hit
easier into the wind with a. club of
greater range than you would nor
ma1Iy take.
For the great temptation is always
the other way-to hit harder into the
wind and to spare the shot with the

Flat and Upright.
It is well worth while to make
closer study of the fiat and the up
right swing. for there are occasions
when both are handy.
In the fiat swing the hands should
not come higher than the shoulder.
In addition to J. H. Taylor and
James Braid, Gil Nichols, Alex Smith
and Jesse Guilford are all fine ex-
ample of flat swingers.
Bobby Jones. Chick Evans, Walter
Hagen and Bob Mcdonald are among
the upright swingers, proving that
there is both distance and accuracy
among both classes.
In my own case I vary the swing to
meet the occasion If am going to
use an upright swing where 1 want
higher ball, I usually get a little slice
and allow for this
With the Hatter swing, more around
the body, I allow for a slight pull that
is almost sure to come off;
Against the wind I make a strong
point of keeping my weight more OH
the left foot, with the ball on a line
nearer the right heel-and with the
wind reverse this method
If you have a wind coming from left

aim far enough to the left of the
green 20 make due allowance for the
drift. This is one of the hardest shots
in golf to. play. especially with full
iron.
The wind, a stiff one has an enor-
nous effect upon a golf ball, and calls
for greater study and care than most
golfers give it. On windy days it is
necessary to use your head often in
the way of planning your campaign,
but too many golfers merely accept
dence and so get careless. You can
really enjoy a round in a fair wind
better than any other kind, for you
have a better chance to call on your
Judgment. The wind fairly rompS all
over the discouraged player who quits
in advance. Certainly there is no time
to quit with a new enemy in the field,
a new hazard to be met and con-
quered.

As straight SIS and double 6's, and all
the other ways of scattering the "coyn

However, none of these mere trifles
have anything on golf. They even say
that in old New York state, where
there are only two statutory grounds
for divorce they are thinking of add

golf has already been named in di-
vorce proceedings in Jersey, Michigan
and other ultra states In bleeding"
Kansas there used to be eight grounds
for divorce, but no doubt Senator Cap
per's farm bloc will soon add CRAFTY
golf as the ninth reason.
A story comes stearhing up from a
teapot course in the sunny south tnat
one gay old golfer. not acquainted
with the Palmetto was a little care
less with his slices and hooks. even
tho he insisted on using regular 75c
and $1.00 golf balls. Every timeehe
ordered another dozen he simply said
Charge it." At the end of his stay
he had a bill of something like S174
for golf balls.
But o joy, here comes a new golf
ball, selling at 10 cents each! Boy,
did you say 10c?" asks the down trod-
den golfer. 'T sure did" said the
salesman. THAT can't be a golf ball."
wagged the doubling golfer. that's a
peel ball for the college senior nuts to
fool with" Have you tried it?"
asked a bystander. No" said the he
have, and I am buying two dozen
more" Put that in your pipe and
smoke it.
So it goes. They say that the big
store buyers are standing in line, call
ing each other names, elbowing and
showing. trying to get their orders for
10c balls filled ahead of their com
petitors. Fifty thousand dollars
worth sold the first month. One hun
dred thousand dollars worth the sec
ond." Whew wait a minute, 1t
doesn't make any difference whether
it is so or not. This merely goes to
show how eager the exasperated golfer
is to get back to earth in his expense
for golfing.
Now comes another new golf ball to
retail at zoe each-$2.O0 per dozen
with the manufacturer guaranteeing
that it will not cut-even with the
iron. It is said to be perfectly bal
anced, and will drive true. That it
tricks that any golfer can do with the
regulation ball.
There is another thing about these
new "Henrys'' which seems amazing.
1t is reported that a curious golfer
took four or five standard golf balls,
for tournament play. and put them
on the scale. One weighed 1.54; an
other 1.56; and a third 1.57. Only
one reached 1.60. Not one came up
to the 1.62 standard. Then a half
dozen of the new make zoe balls were
put on the scale. None of these
weighed less than 1.59 and none over
1872. In other words these new fliv-
vers were more standard than the So
called Roylls Rooces.
1t all sounds like a joke and per-
haps the wise acres of the association
will bar this new ball in tournament
play, but if they do, it will probably
only make the hard working golfer or
der three instead of two dozen at a
time, and compel manufacturer to
double his present equipment.
