II was further asked that the COM
pany and Former State Highway
Commissioners George Paddock,
Thomas L. Collins, Charles V. Duffy
Albert S. Doughty, George L. Bur
ton, Charles Seabrook, Walter f.
Whittemore and John Ferris, "or
cne or moer of them refund to the
state the consideration paid for the
lands or so much thereof as the
court shall direct.
The petition also asked that the
company and the oUsted commits
sioners be required TO answer the
attorney generals information and
that process be awarded the latter
officer for the examination of all the
books, papers and documents in the
( ossession of the defendants.
Attorney General McCran charged
that the road commission obtained
appraisals of s12. 900 an acre for the
land, or $4,000 for the whole tract,
whereas, according to the petition,
the board finally paid $230,00o for
the ground. It was also charged that
for lands also joining the DonneN
lands, the commission obtained
price approximating the appraisal Of
the lumber con4pany's property.
The attorney general alleged that
on March 2S, 1922. the state highway
mission authorized the condem-
nation of the land in question but
that it subsequently rescinded that
action.
George L. Burton, chairman OF the
former commission, which was ouss-
ed by Governor Silzer on January %
for ineficiency." was quoted in the
attorney generals information as ad-
vising the road commission that the
price of $3.50 600 asked by the Don
nell Lumber Company was mot ex-
orbitant." This action took place,
according to the information, on May
19, 1922. Chairman Burton was al
legged to have declared that the ex-
cess land could be disposed of by the
state if it was found that il could not
all be used for road purposes.
The information expressly charged
that Chairman Burtol. knew his
statement regarding the appraisals
were untrue" when -e informed the
commission that he had secured quo
tations of S240,000 and S227.000 re-
spectively as the value Of the land,
and he knew, according to the petit
tion. that the appraisals were Sc
cured by the lumber company at its
special instance and request. The
information further charges that the
members of the road commission at
the alleged meeting in question had
knowledge that the statements were
untrue.
1t was also alleged:
'That the State Highway Commis-
sion at the time George L. Burton
made the statement that the sum OF
S2S0,000 as the price 10 be paid for
the lands Of the Dunellen Lum Der
Company was not exorbitant had full
knowledge that the said seven and
one-half acres, sought to be acquir-
ed, had been appraised at $4,000.

contiguous land had been purchased
for the same price, and that the con-
sideration paid to the Donnell Lum-
ber Company was so utterly dispro-
portionate to the true value as to
constitute fraud, on the part Of the
State Highway Commission and the
Donnell Lumber Company
1t was declared that the state road
board had power TO condemn the
land in question.
The money dedicated to the build
ing of state roads, according to At

Former President Writes lis
Views IN Letter to Con-

BY GEORGE r.. HOLMES.
international News Service.

AA-HA4NNA41NA
From his quiet, red brick house
in S street, where he keeps his
finger on the pulse of public and
political affairs to a far greater
degree than is generally known,
came the voice Of Woodrow Will
son today, announcing his disap-
prevail of America joining the
permanent court of international
Justice under the program Of con-
ditions prepared by President
Harding, Secretary Hughes, and
Secretary Hoover.
Writes Letter to Rouse.
/ The United States should either
go in or stay. out Internationally,
Wilson believes-he thus maintain
ing the identical position that he
assumed toward the Lodge reserva-
tons to the League of Nations cove
nant during the memorable Senate
fight of three years ago.
Wilson's views became known to-
day through the medium of letter
written to Congressman Arthur b.
Rouse of Kentucky. It was I'm
reply to a communication from Con-
gresham Rouse, requesting his
views anent the conditional adher-
ence to the court proposed by
! Harding in his message to the Sen
ate in its closing days.
at do not approve. of the condi-
tional, but of the unconditional ad
lhension of the United States to the
world court set up under the
League of Nations" said Wilson's
communication.
To do otherwise than to adhere
would. in Wilson's
opinion, be inconsistent with either
the fame, the candor, or the cour-
age" of the United States in in
ternational affairs. If the United
States is to take advantage of the
opportunities afforded by the court,
then it should be willing to assume
it's fun share of responsibilities
under the covenant of the league,
he asserted.
DisapprOval Causes Surprise.
The Wilson letter came somewhat
as a shock today to both Demo
cratic and Republican political
circles about the Capitol, seething
just now in controversy over the
court issue, containing as 1t did an
intimation that the influence Of
Wilson may be thrown against
ratification Of the Harding-Hughes-
Hoover program when it comes to
an issue in the next Congress.
It had been confidently expected,
and, in fact, Democratic leaders
at the Capitol have frankly de-
clared that Democratic support
would be accorded Harding's. in
ternational court proposal in the
Senate. Democratic Senators un-
hesitatingly voiced their approval Of
the Harding message at the time
it was delivered, and heralded 1t as
a. first step In the direction Of
eventual American entrance into
the league.
May Split Democrats.
If Wilson, however, throws the
not inconsiderable weight Of his in-
fluence against acceptance OF the
league court under the Harding
terms, as his letter intimated he
might, then II was recognized here
today that this development may
cause q sharp division Of opinion
within the Democratic ranks. even
as 1t already has In the Republican
party, and thus jeopardize the adj

ing the court.
