Vehicular Tubes To
Cost About S36,OOO.OOO

New York, July 21.-The New York
and New Jersey vehicular tunnels, it
was learned today, probably will cost
nearly 100000 more than $4,000
600 originally estimated. Additional
appropriations are likely to be asked
at the next session of the Legisla-
ture.
The boost in the cast of the tun-
mel has been brought about by two
factors, rising labor costs and the
demonstrated need for wider ap-
proaches than were planned.
According to estimates made by
Clifton M. Holland, chief engineer,
nearly all labor is costing 25 to 40

tunnel was authorized. In getting at
these figures. Mr.. Holland includes
not only the dages that are higher
but the changes in efficiency. The
result has been that nearly all the
recent contracts have had to be let
for figures higher than were esti-
mated.
New York and New Jersey have
each appropriated approximately
S14.500,00O for twin tubes to date.
While no definite estimates have been
made of the excess cost above this.
it is believed the total cost will be
close to $36000.000.

five persons who were attending a
death watch at Spencer, Van Buren,
county. Thursday morning, was
shot to death at the home Of a
tenant on the property of Sam Has
ton, one of the victims, by armed
deputies this afternoon at $50
o'clock.
The negro's death ended a two-day
chase with bloodhounds which wound
up within 100 yards of the place
where he attempted to wipe out an
entire family because he had been
caught stealing from a corn crib.
Last night Douglas entered the
home of a white man named Manus,
where he was later killed, and de-
manded food He was still armed
with the shotgun with which the
five persons were shot. Manus fed
him. Douglas asked Manus to fix it
up with the Hastons, He said he
would come back again tonight to
find out the answer.
Deputies were notified and secret

gro knocked on the. door at $50
o'clock. He entered the room still
carrying his shotgun. He was rid

move the gun to his shoulder.
His body is now lying outside the
home in which he was killed. The
shooting of the fugitive was the eli
max to one of the most brutal trag-
edies in the annals Of the state, two
men and two women being shot as
they watched beside the bedside of
a dying woman at the home of Sam
Haston, brother of Tennessee's sec
rotary of state. The pan chase
which followed4ed through two coun-
ties, but ended when the negro gave
his pursuers' the slip and returned
to the scene of the crime.

a substitute for flogging in the pris-

of a bill in the Georgia Legislature
providing for indeterminate SEN
fences IN misdemeanor cases was
urged today by Judge J. Lee Craw-

While not differing with Governor
Hardwick as to the abolition of fog
ging, Judge Cravley stated that in
many cases prisoners need some in
ducement for maintaining a good
record. Now that the whip is done
away with, he said, the knowledge
that INSTRUMENTATION and surliness in
the prison camps will mean a longer
period of service, will do much to
maintain order.
"Some counties have reported re-
calcitrant prisoners who refuse to
obey orders since the lash has been
abolished" said Judge Crawley.
Fully rs per cent of the prisoners

NJ ADOO SURPRISED
At BALFOUR CHARGE
ON j. s. WAR LOANS

LOS ANGELES, March 10-(By
the Associated Press William G.
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury
during the World War, said in
statement to the Associated Press to-
day that it was never suggested by
Lord Balfour or himself that Great
Britain should assume responsible
ity for loans made by the United
States to allied governments other
than Great Britain.
Il am at loss to understand"
Mr.. McAdoo said, how Lord Bal
four, for whom I have great respect
and admiration, could have gained
the impression reflected in the state
meut attributed to his that The
if not in form that although her al
lies were to spend the money, it was
only on her Great Britain's) secur-
ity that they were prepared to lend
it,
Loans to the allied governments
were made through me as secretary
of the treasury at the time. In my
discussions with Lord Balfour, who
was head of the British mission
which visited this country. in May,
1917, it. was never suggested or init
mated by me or by him that Great
Britain should assume any RESPONSE
bility whatever for loans the United
States might make to other govern
ments than Great Britain. Every
loan made to Great Britain, to
France, to Italy and to Belgium, was
made up on the faith and credit of
each respectively and independently
of the other except insofar as intel
ligent effort was made to distribute
the available credits among them
in such way as would best secure
their effective use for the war pur'
pose"
Mr.. McAdoo declined at this time
to comment upon a statement made
yesterday in New York by Oscar T.
Crosby, former assistant secretary
of the treasury, that a loan of $170,
900 ,00O was made to Russia on Brit
ish endorsement.

For Cooperative Sales

CAMILLA, Ga, March 10.-The
Georgia Peanut Growers association
is the all-absol Nng topic in and
around Camilla, and it now appears
that the interest in this proposed or
ganizatiOn is at such a high pitch
that there will be no trouble in pro-
curing a 100 per cent organization
when the contracts are ready for
signing.
j, p. McRee, one of the state di-
rectors of the proposed organiza
ton, has had many calls for con-
tracts, so anxious are the farmers
to get together on this subject. At
the regular meeting Of the Lions
club of Camilla all the business men
present agreed to indorse the Geor-
gia Peanut Growers association.
1t was announced that Mr.. DepOn-
cier the associate of Aaron Sapiro,
in the discussion of this subject in
Albany a few weeks ago, and who
has so successfully guided the Nir-
ginia-CarOlina association through
its troubles, would speak in Camilla
or Pelham and probably in both
places, next week.
