ROGERS SEEKS AID
 N PRESS BATTLE
Letters Sent To State Legisla- X tors Against Age-Herald

John A. Rogers, chairman of the state highway commission, and Commis- sioner J. Freeman Suttle now are ap- pealing to members of the state legis- lature, after having refused to give news of the highway department to the Age-Herald, and allied newspapers.
 Large envelopes of the highway de- pertinent containing eight pages of literature have been sent out from Montgomery to all legislators. Jeffer- son county members of the law-making body received their copies Tuesday.
 The attack on the Age Herald which Rogers and Suttle gave to the press several days ago is repeated in full. The highway construction program for 1924 and 1925 is inclosed, as well as correspondence between W. $. Keller and W. A. McCalla, engineers of the highway department, attempting to justify the vote of the majority of the commission in detouring the so- called Greene county highway so as to include the home town of Chairman Rogers.
 All of the inclosures are printed on piain white paper, and it took four one cent stamps to post each batch.

DECLARES COOLIDGE
FUND APPEAL LEGAL
Bay State Chairman Explains
Words Attacked by Mayor
of Boston.
DENIES CORRUPTION CHARGE
SAYS Law Justifes Contribution Of
Any Amount.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 14.-Chairman Louis
K. Liggett of the Massachusetts
Calvin Coolidge finance committee
last night took full responsibility for
and declared within the law the cam
paign appeal of which Mayor Curley
of Boston today asked a senatorial
Investigation, terming it IAN organ
lied plan for corruption"
Mr.. Lggett was made chairman
after the resignation of William M.
Butler, now Republican national
chairman, and changed the name
from Republican state finance COM
mittee because, he said, he felt the
about which Massachusetts and all
New England should rally"
The committee is the official
financing organization of the Re-
publican state committee.
Points to Paragraph.
Mayor Curiey took particular ex-
ception to paragraph reading:
There is no limit to the amount any
individual may give to this commit
tee. Large contributions will be so
divided as to give full observance to
the requirements of the statutes"
This" he said in a letter to SEN
ator Walsh of Massachusetts,, has
a sinister significance and indicates
a cynical determination to evade the
provisions of the corrupt practices
laws"
State Inv Provision.
A section of the Massachusetts
general laws reads, in part: Amy
individual, not a candidate. may con-
tribute to political committees or
candidates a sum which in the ag-
gregate of all contributions by him
shall not exceed $1,000 in any cleo
tion or primary preliminary thereto"
Mr.. Liggett tonight said this means
only that not more than $1,000 can
be spent in Massachusetts. but that
any individual may contribute any
amount, the balance to be expended
elsewhere by the national committee.
He said he did not consider this in
depreciation a violation of the spirit
of the law.
'1f he (Mayor Curley) wants an
investigation, I am ready for it," said
Mr.. Liggett- 'I take full responsible
ity for Mr.. Elliott's letter. Before
that letter was mailed l showed it
to lawyer, who said it was within
the law"
G. F. Elliott, who sent the appeal
quoted by Mayor Curley, is a local
chairman appointed by Mr.. Liggett,
the latter said.

In Ro,U Started BY
An Open Windo,O

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 14.-Angered be-
cause other employees opened a
window. John G. Gardner, sixty
years old, an inspector for the Illi-
nois Malleable Iron Company, yes
terday shot and killed two fore
men, and then, pursued by other
employees, placed one of three pis-
tolls, with which he was armed,
against his temple and committed
suicide.
The police said they learned that
Gardner and his two victims, r. w.
Wilcox, fifty-four, and Herman
Krause, forty-one, had quarreled
because the two men insisted that
a window be left open, while Gard
ner maintained that he had a cold
and the air would make it worse.
Gardner left the plant and
shortly afterward came back with
three pistols. He first shot
Krause and then rushed to another
part of the factory and shot Will
COX.
