here, will want a positive man one
way or the other on this ques-
ton. This feeling is strong be-
cause of the criticism of Governor
Trinkle. His efforts to reach a
compromise between the oppon-
ents and advocates Of road bonds
has brought forth criticism that
he has been on both sides of the
fence and today nobody knows 70
certainty where he stands. No
Governor of Virginia in recent
wears has been more sharply criti-
cized thar Mr.. Trinkle, because
he has not assumed the leadership
instead of playing the role of a
peacemaker. President George B.
Coleman, of the Virginia Good
Roads Association, said IN a pre-
pared speech delivered at Roam
oke that Governor Trinklc has
done more to muddy" the wa
ters about financing the State
Highway system than any other
man in the State.
Governor Trinkle," said one Of
the most prominent political lead
ers of the State to The Sun cor
respondent, 'has made a serious
mistake in not developing a road
financing plan of his own. II
he had he would have been able
to put il over on account Of the
bitter fight between the bond and
gasoline tax men. AS result
he has lost the leadership and
there are precious few men who
look to him to solve the problem. "
Governor Trinkle's position, how
ever. is that he is the adminlstra-
tor of the laws of the State and
the business manager, ana not
the legislative agency. The Cen
eral Assembly, his friends say.
is the agency which should deter
mine whether there should be
bonds or no bonds. His attitude
toward the Legislature is very
much like that of President Hard
ing toward Congress-non-lnter-
ference-although Governor Trim
kle, it is known, is losing many
hours of sleep in an effort to
bring about harmonious finan-
cial policy for the good road sys-
tenn. His general appearance
shows he feels deeply the re-
sponsibility and worries incident
to the road bond contest. He
looks 10 years older than ne did
when he took the oath of office.

Japan is Sending an
Agent After S. A. Trade

Tokyo, Feb. 17.-Japan's most
skillful trade-developing diploma
fist will soon be transferred from
London to Buenos Aires, the Uni
ted Press learned officially today.
Kihei Ota, now japanese Con-
sui General at London, will sooh'

csc minister to the Argentine, it
vas officially stated.
This is the latest move in ia
pans new policy, recently an
nounced by the United Press, to
conduct a vigorous campaign for
South American friendship and
trade and to send to South AM

In bygone days, when the bad boy put a

boyhood. Today such actions are said to

Bond Fight Looms
AS Issue of 1925
Likely to Dominate Con-
test for Governor
if Plan Fails

Richmond, Va, Fer. 17-Should
The General Assembly of Virginia
fail to adopt the bond plan for fl
inancing the State highway sys-
tenn, and should it adopt the Scent
gasoline plan and that plan fail
to provide sufficient funds for ex-
peditious work, opinion is wide
spread that the bond and anti
bond question will be the para
mount issue in the Gubernatorial
contest in 1925. This feeling pei
vades all circles in Richmond.
Practically everywhere that pro-
phecy is made.
And should bonds and anti
bonds be forced to the front as
the big issue, there are only two
candidates on the tongue of the
politicians and thousands OF peo-
pie. They are State Senator o.
Conner Goodrich, of F. edericks-
burg, who will lead the bond
fight, and State Senator Harry
Flood Byrd, of Winchester, who
will be the white hope Of the anti
bond forces. The primary fight is
two and half years in the fu-
sture, and many things can hap
pei in that time, but today po-
litical observers can see no other
contest than between these two
young, brilliant and able men.
1t is generally accepted that
Senator Goodrich will be a candl-
date, no matter whether the per-
manent policy of highway financ-
! ing is agreed upon or not. 1t is
known that at this time Senator
Byrd is averse 10 making the
race. In fact, he has informed
some of his close friends that he
cannot do so. However, if bonds
1 become the issue there are humid
reds of people VINO declare Mr..
Byrd will be "drafted' by the
anti-bond people whether he wish
es to run or not. They say he
cannot escape.
A fight between these two men
will fall little short of Il battle
of the century" IN Virginia poll
tics. Both men are dominant
characters; they are different
from the old-time Virginia poll
tician in that they are outs9oken
and do not believe in "gunshoe-
ing" They are forceful, vigor-
Gus speakers and debaters. Cool
rick probably having the edge on
Byrd from the standpoint Of an
orator, but Byrd is, perhaps, the
more resourceful. Today they
are the idols of the bond and an
ti-bond elements of the" State.
Everywhere the bond man shouts
Goodrich when the next Govern
crship is mentioned, and Sle same
+ is true Of Byrd and the anti-bond
( people.
1t is said here that if Gooirick
runs, Acknowledgement John K.
Saunders, who has announced his
candidacy, will withdraw from
race. G. Walter Mapp, OF the
Eastern Shore, who has announced
himself, it is belived will not
make the race if these TWO men
lock horns. His issue of prohi-
bition would be lost in the shut
file for and against bonds.

Lynchburg, Feb. 17.-Residents

POINT CADETS
SCHOLARSHIP DROPS
Head Of Academy Traces Failures
to Lower Standard in Schools
First Attended.
MASSACHUSETTS MEN FIRST
Gen. Sladen Opposes Further En-
rollment Increase.

Ger. Fred w. Sladen, superintend-
ent of the West Point Military Aoad-
envy. in his annual report. makes the
somewhat surprising statement that
nearly 80 per cent of the cadets
admitted on school certificates We're
discharged last year for academic de-
ficiencies.
AS a result the conclusion has been
reached that such certificates do not
accurately represent the students
ability and attainments and also that
there has been a lowering in the
standard of teaching in some prepar-
atory institutions. 1t was found,
says the report. that in states where
best educational systems are main
tanned the students certified to the
West Point Academy have no dfni-
Guilty in mastering the full course
there. 1t is added that the records
show that students from schools IN
Massachusetts rank first in the eX-
aminations with percentage of 81
failures, the lowest in the case or
any state.
Gen. Slatien advises against any
further increase in the number of
cadets, having in view limited out
put of high quality. He says that
denial of all public opportunities for
instruction at the academy, however,
would react unfavorably on the Army
as whole and deprive the service of
much desirable officer material.

BODY FOUND ON TREE
NOT MISSING PRIEST
Dead Man at Long Beach, Calf.
First Identified and Then
Mistake Discovered.

By the Associated Press.
LONG BEACH, Calf, December 81.
After having been first identified as
the remains of Father Vraniak, MISS
ing priest of Virden, ILL.,, the body of
a man found hanging to a tree in a
willow grove north of here on De-
cember 26 was later declared by a
former resident of Virden and an in
innate acquaintance of the church
man not that of the clergyman who
disappeared about a year ago.
Upon being viewed here last night
by T. A. Collins, who one time re-
sided in Virden, the body was de-
clared by Collins to be that of Father
Vraniak. Receiving this information
the police of Long Beach telegraphed
the Virden authorities requesting pic
lures and detailed description of the
priest: Several hours later William
Stevens, also from Virden, who de-
clared that he had known Father
Vraniak Intimately, examined the
body and declared positively that it
was not that of the clergyman. Col
Inns said that he had known the MISS
ing man only by sight,
The body was found by q Mexican
ranch hand, who had entered the
clump of woods in search of stray
cattle. The man apparently had been
dead for a day, indicating that he
had died on Christmas. He was
neatly garbed in clothes made by a
San Francisco tailor. He appeared
to have been about fifty years old.
