A small road map of the two Caro linas found in the brief case of Maj Samuel H. McLeary, who was murdered near Cheraw, s. C., three weeks ago was the first clue that led to the ar rest of Mortimer King, and probably will establish the identity of his ac complice in the crime, according to J $. Amesworth, newspaper man, of Aus tin, Tex, who led search for the body of the slain ajor, at the request of the McLeary family in New York city, and who was in Birmingham Sunday on his way home for vacation.
 The brief case in which the map was discovered was found with other eff fleets of Major Martin hid among brush at the top of hill near Canton, N. C.. aMr. Amesworth said, where they had been taken from an automobile that was halted midway up the hill.
 Checking of the number of the auto mobile tag revealed that the machine was that of King, Mrs. Ameswortf said. The car was evidently aban doned when it stopped on the hill and the contents hid.
 Names On Map
 Across the map was traced with in delible pencil a route through the two Carolinas, and the names of Mortimer King and Frank Harrell, Mir. Ames worth said. At that time, there had been no suspicion attached to King, but he was later arrested and confessed tC the crime, and a man thought to bt Harrell was taken into custody al Greenville, s. C., Friday.
 The map was found by Miss Bonnie McLeary, sister of Major McLeary, and sculptor of note, in New York city Mir. Amesworth said. These are my brothers slayers." the young woman said. Authorities, however, discounted

MADISON, Wis, July 2O.-(By As. sociated Press. )-Tests are under way at the University of Wisconsin in an effort to discover a substitute for grain alcohol in flavOring extracts, according to Prof. H. A. Schuette of the univer. sity chemistry department. Research work on the project has been in prog ress several months.
 The problem on which the university is working is to find some solvent for various oils used in flavoring extract. Alcohol is declared to be the most satisfactory substance thus far discov- cred because oils of leman, orange, pep permint, spearmint, almond, winter green and other popular oils used in extracts are not soluable in water.

HOOVER URGES
 WINTER BUILDING
Secretary Joins Commit tee In Urging Remedy
 Of Seasonal Ills
VOUPJTEBHG IUNET CHAPTER NO. 2DITCHING A
 DICK

WASHINGTON. July 20.-Scretary of Commerce Hoover urges that the building season be extended into the winter months, in order to stop the seasonal ups and downs in the con- struction industry, to prevent unem- ploynent, and to lower the costs of production and building.
 His statement, made public here Sun day, is supplemental to the report of the committee on seasonal operation in the construction industries. appointed by him as an outgrowth of the Presi- dents conference on unemployment in 1921.
 Declaring that construction is the "balance wheel" of American industry, and placing the value of yearly con struction in this country at more than five billion dollars, with millions of workers, Hoover said that activity in construction bears a close relation to general conditions and to a large ex- tent affects economic stability.
 The need to eliminate the wastes of seasonal idleness has been brought forcibly to the attention of the con struction industry and the public by reason of high labor costs and the fail ure of the building trades to attract young men to their ranks" he said.

WASHINGTON. May /. - Presl-
dent Coolidge's proposal to solve the
japanese exclusion problem thru the
negotiation OF treaty with Japan
today was facing new difficulties.
To gain time 10 negotiate. the adj
ministration has urged that the ef.
feetiye date Of Japanese exclusion
be postponed. Presuming tho house
and senate confcrecs are willing. no
date later than July can be
agreed upon under the rules OF con-
gress.
In order to accomplish the pur-
pose, the treaty must DO ratified
by the senate. which probably will

the only recourse seen by adminis-

OF Joint resolution In both house
and senate specifically postponing
