Veteran Loses Life Near
Boston

Fitchburg, Mass, June 5.-Howard

of the Fifth United States infantry,
stationed at Camp Devans, and a res

life by drowning here this afternoon.
Jennings. who is veteran Of the
World war, lost his balance IN shift

two who were with him on Lake
Whalom, which lies between Camp
Devans and this city. Up to a late
hour tonight the police had failed to
recover his body, although the lake
was dragged during the afternoon
and night. Jennings, according to
the story told by the other two SOL
diers to the police, refused to heed
their repeated warnings and startd
to change positions, falling over
board. Being unable to swim he sank
out Of sight before his companions
could make, any attempt to save him.
The other men, B. R. Sherman and
C. S. Merkle, who are members of the
same regiment, are broken up over
the tragedy. Calling for help, Sher-
man and Markle padded to the Leo
minister side of the lake and notified
the Leominster, Fitchburg and army
police of the accident. All three re-
sponded, the two men being placed
under arrest by the latter body pend

WOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT .
IF THE PEOPLE SO DESIRE

Detroit, June 5.-Henry Ford has
intimated privately that he would run
for president ''if the people of the
country desire him to do so," but she
would refuse to spend any money to
bring about his nomination or elec-
tion," according to William T. Kron-
berg, editor of a Dearborn newspaper
and one of the leaders in the Dear
born "Henry Ford for President"
club.
Although he has made no public
statement, Mr.. Ford has intimated to
members of the club that he would
be in a receptive mood should the
demand for his candidacy come from
the people Of the country, MIR. Kron-
berg told the Associated Press.
Members of the club who last week
planned to see Mr.. Ford and officially
ask him to run for president have
decided to wait until after the clubs
organization meeting at Dearborn to-
morrow night, Mr.. Kronberg said to-
day. 1t is probable, Mr.. Kronberg
said. that a committee will be dele
gated tomorrow night to wait on Mr..
Ford and make the official request.

STATE TO RECEIVE
MORE FEDERAL AID
Large Amount to Be Available July
Funds From State After
Next Year

State highway authorities were ad-
vised Yesterday that a free confer
ence committee Of the house and sem
ate had agreed on the federal aid ap-
preparation to be made by congress
within the next two or three weeks
and that the amount would be $780,
100000 for 1928.
Of this $50,OO0,OOO South Carolina
will receive approximately 100000
and this will be available July of
this year. The appropriation will be
for the fiscal year beginning the first
OF next month, but the entire amount
can be had July i.
Charles H. Moorefield, state high
way engineer said yesterday that suf-
fcient funds to match the 100000
for South Carolina were already
pledged by the counties and it is ex-
pected that many applications will be
made for the money.
Under the agreement of the free
conference committee, S65,0O0,000
for federal aid is to be appropriated
for 1924 and S75,000,O00 for 1925.
South Carolina can share in this
years fund and the 1924 amount un-
der the present system Of county
matching, but, will be unable to share
in the 1925 appropriation unless some
provision is made for the state to
match the funds. Under the provi-
t;;ons of the recent federal aid act the
government will begin to deal only
with the states and will not accept
the county matching scheme, this to
become effective after the 1924 ap-
preparation has been allowed and
used.

BAKHMETEFF MUST

Recognition of Russian Ambassador
Terminated

Washington, June 3.-Recogn!tloh
of Boris Bakhmeteff, as Russian am
bassador to the United States, con-
tinued despite the collapse FIVE years
ago of the Kerensky government
which appointed him, will cease after
June 80. Mr.. Bakhmeteff has been
notified of this decision Of the Amer
lean government in letter from Sec
retary Hughes, replying to commun-
ication from the ambassador in which
the latter, stating that his chief func-
ton in recent months of liquidating
property claims growing out of the
war was now about completed, has
offered to retire should the Washing
ton government desire it.
The correspondence, published to-
day, was dated late in April, after
Senator Borah had challenged the
ambassadors status, long the subject
of controversy, in connection with at
tempts to hail him before a senate
committee, and in his communication
Mr.. Bakhmeteff states that the ere
newed discussion" of the subject had
led him to question whether his con-
tinuance as ambassador would "serve
the best interests of my country and
the convenience of the United
States
Both this letter and the secretary's
reply, however, antedate the climax
of the senate discussion of the sub
ject during which charges were pro-
duced by Senator Borah of misuse of
Russian embassy funds, OF which
cognizance is taken in an exchange
Of letters between Secretary Hughes
and Secretary Mellon Of the treasury
department made public with the 9TH
er correspondence. Giving a detailed
statement Of the en1bassy's expendi-
lures, Mr.. Mellon declared that the
s187, 100000 advanced by the United
Gates was FUSED solely for the pur-
chase of obligations of the Russian
government in accordance with the
Liberty loan acts
Of the s62,GOo,O00 of this total
left F'for expenditure" in this coun-
try after transfer of S125,000,000
to the account of the Russian finance
ministers, the treasury secretary
said, balance of only s10,000,000
remained as part of the total of

On deposit in the United States at the
time of the fall of the Kerensky gov
ernment. Expenditure of this
amount on deposit, together with
sums added through sale of Russian
property in this country, for liquida-
tons has been under the supervision
of state and treasury officials, Mr..
Mellon said, giving the total of liqui-
dations effected at approximately
S102,000,00O. To permit the nego-
tiations regarding these to be car
ried to completion, Secretary Hughes
informed Mr.. Bakhmeteff that, upon
his retirement, Serge Ughet, fnan-
cial attache of the embassy, would
continue to enjoy a diplomatic status.
