VAST SUM FROM
GASOLINE TAX

Idaho's 2-cent tax on gasoline has
netted the highway fund $274.425.62
in the six months period ended October
1, it is announced by f. A. Jeter,
secretary of state.
This is an average of more than
$4,000 a month, so that in two years,
officials estimate, the state will re-
ceive approximately $1,000,000 from
this source for highway work.
From past observation, officials be-
lieve. that the average monthly in
come will not be reduced through the
winter They say that the number of
cars put up for the winter in the
rural parts of the state will be COM
pensated for by the increased use of
cars in cities during bad weather.
Many people in cities walk in the
summer and fall, when the weather
is pleasant, but take to the cars in
Wintertime.

RELIEF FUND
NEARLY $4,000
Many More Contributions
4, Needed to Put City Over
Clubs are at Work

Owing to the fact that several of
the large committees have not yet
reported, and the late start of the
Lions and Rotary Clubs, the drive
being held by the local chapter of
American Red Cross will continue
for two or three days of next week.
The Lions and Rotary Clubs
started their canvassing following
their weekly meetings on Wednes-
day and Thursday, and since that
time have been working steadily for
the cause, while some of the chair
men of the large committees have
not yet reported their contributions.
With yesterdays amount added
the present sum to date toward the
$500 local quota is $2,S56. Many
more donations are expected late to-
day and with the SO 900 mark passed
over the weekend and fresh start
on Monday it is hoped the remainder
OF the money will be secured.
The goal is almost in reach. AL
ready large m has been sent to
the devastated area of Japan and
another large amount will be for
warded in a short time. Let those
who have not yet contributed to the
emergency call send their donations
this weekend to the local Red
Cross headquarters in the Raritan
Building, it is urged.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, Sept.
15:-Slight Improvement in the con-
dition of Mayor John f. Hylan of
New York City, i'll with double pneu-
monia here, is noted in the morning
bulletin issued at S:45 o'clock fol-

Sleeping well at frequent intervals
during the night, the mayor is re-
ported as suffering little pain or en-
barrassment of breathing, both of
which caused him considerable dis
tress during the past few days
Physical examination of the mayor
brought out that neither the recent,
nor the former pneumonia process

illness. This is believed due to the
desire of the doctors to study the
case early in the day, and also to
consult with the night nurses, two
of whom are now on duty, rather
than because of any change for the
worse on the part of the patient.

TRENTON, Sept. 15.-Vincent
Murray who was the star witness for
the State Board of Institutions and
Agencies and Commissioner Bur-
dette G.. Lewis in the investigation
of conditions at the State Prison last
spring has been transferred from
the prison to the Trenton State Hos
pital for the Insane it was learned
here today The action was taken
on the initiative of Warden Joseph

moval was based upon the report of
two physicians who examined the
prisoner and declared that he is suf-
fering from "delusions of persecu-
tion."
Murray testified at the trial con-
Quoted by Commissioner Lewis and

approach to dungeons in the prison.
At the time of the investigation
Murray was promised by the probers
that no harm would come to him for
testifying as to conditions in the
prison. Following this promise it Is
understood that the very next day
the prisoner refused to serve the

SEWER HOLDING
UP OTHER WORK
Railroad Grade Crossing Elim-
ination Will Not Start Until
Sewer is Begun
GET SEWER BIDS OCT. /
City Engineer Booz Has Di-
vided Sewer Work in Two
Sections
GET SEWER BIDS OCT. |

The difficulty being experienced by
the city in securing fair bids for the
construction of the large trunk sew
er in the western section of the city
Is holding up the grade crossing
elir~nation project here. Twice the
aldermen have advertised for bids
on the new sewer. The first time no
one bid and the next time one esti-
mate was received, the amount of
which was almost double the esti-
mated cost of the work. The bid
was about 100000 and it has been
estimated that the work could be
done for $350,000 or 100000.
The railroads have had their engi-
neers at work on the detailed plans
for more than a year but these
plans, it is understood, depend con-
siderably upon the layout, course
and construction of the new sewer.
The actual construction work in con-
nection with the depression of the
Central railroad tracks here was to
have been started a year ago but to
date the big project has not been
started.
In addition to the depression of
the Central tracks the Lehigh VAL
ley tracks over New Brunswick ave-
nue. are to be elevated so that the
street can pass beneath them. The
sewer construction work will be a
big undertaking in itself and the
delay in awarding the contract will
likely retard the progress of the
railroads in carrying on their elm
nation work.
City Engineer Booz has been in
formed by the Central Railroad that
it will begin its preliminary work,
consisting of clearing away the prop
erty just west of their present tracks
and commencing the excavation for
the new rail system, as soon as the
new sewer is started. Thus the prog
ress of the grade crossing elimina-
ton work is being retarded as long
as the sewer contract is not let.
In order that the city might have
better luck the next time they receive
bids on the trunk sewer Monday
night October /, City Engineer Booz
has divided the work into two sec
tions. One will cover the section
from the river to the Lehigh Valley
tracks and the other section will be
from th%nLehigh Valley tracks north.
AS cold weather will soon be here
is is not expected that much prog
ress can be made on either job this
year. The work could be started
however and pushed during the
spring.

SURRENDER BY ITALY
Of Ports as Compensation for
Annexation of Fiume Would
be Acceptable

BELGRADE. Sept. Is lBy The
Associated Press( s(-"A1f reports cir-
culated in the past few days alleg-
Ing that tension existed in the rela-
tlons between Jugoslavia and Italy
because of the interruption of the
work of the Fiume conferences conn
mlttee are unfounded," says q state
ment issued by the foreign Office.
II adds that the desire OF both
countries for an agreement is undi-
minished."
The statement was called forth
by report in a Belgrade newspa-
per that Premiers PachItch and
Mussolini would meet at an early
ton.
Another announcement confirms
rumors of a postponement of deci-
sive action by Italy.
The surrender by Italy OF such
ports as Badai, Loshin and cara as
compensation for the annexation OF
Fiume would be an acceptable So
luton of the situation in the opin-
ion of many persons here but there
is a certain feeling that the best
course would be to refuse to nego-
tiate. letting Italy violate the treaty
of Rapallo and take the cnnse-
quences.
It was learned last night that
Foreign Minister Ninchitch has beer
! instructed by the cabinet to file tbs
Rapallo treaty with the League Q.

is now that the problem will be set
