MAY INCREASE GASOLINE TAX
Extra Cent Tax Would Provide for
Fifty Miles of Cement Road


Just how badly the motorists of |
Delaware and the farmers want more
concrete highways, like the ones they
are at present enjoying, and how
they propose to pay for them is ike
" to be one of the most important
questions the next General Assembly
of the state of Delaware will have
to consider. As highway finances
stand now, when the present work
under construction and planned for
this year is completed, the state will
have bonds totalling S7,700,000 out
standing. If the legislature decides
it wants more highways built, it will
first have to decide how the money
to pay for them is to be raised, and
here arises the most important de-
tail. This year the State Highway
Commission is receiving through the
two-cent tax on gasoline, an income
for highways of about $4,000
monthly. This sum with the fees re-
ceived from licensing of automobiles
is sufficient to maintain the highways
and set aside the money needed each
year to pay the interest on the state
bonds and also the money necessary
| to retire a portion of them each year
According to the budget for this yeal
] the State Highway Commission will
/ present a report to the next legisla-
: ture that will show practically ar
! even balance, great attention having
C been paid to the financial end of the
! highway work, so that there will b.
e no over expenditure of money.
e Careful About Appropriations
q Because of the careful way il
!. which c. D. Buck has directed th'
v building of the highways, the eXpens,
d attached to the work as far as over
head goes has been reduced to a mini

The "wobblies" do not like the pro-

ed in North Dakota as a protection
to the farmers and to workers not
members Of the I. w. w. An anony-
nous letter, received by Governor
Nestos following issuance of his pro-
clamation asking united action
against law breaks, declares the I. w.
w. is growing "by leaps and bounds" F"
The letter follows:
Minneapolis, Mimi.
S-13th, 1924.
"Sure enough. old gesser. Nestos,
sounds quite smart of you to issue
the enclosed proclamation which in
cludes /. w. w. with robbers, thieves.
burglars. and bootleggers. 1t seems
the Wob got your goat and by the
following proclamation it appears YOU
all ready fear them. And rightly so,
you have a reason to fear Wob.
"Thank God we are nearly 100000
strong now and are growing by leaps

workers. 1t does not surprise us to
slander US so cowardly, for we know
that every official of the present sys-
tenn is lier and low down skunk

the likes of you are mere mouth
pieces, mere tools which the Bour-

GIRL CHARGED
WITHDRAWING
MURDER PLOT
Sheriff Investigating Staying
Near Benton HarbOr
Makes Accusation
BOTH ARE COMPOSED

Benton Harbor, Mich, Aug. ID
Florence Mckinney, the pretty 49,
year-old sweetheart Of Emil Zupke,
today is charged by Sheriff George
Bridgman with being the instigator
of secret plot that, resulted in, the
killing of Cora May Raber.
Bit by bit, according to the sher-
iff, the Lansing. county girl has ad-
mitted that she knew her rival for
Zupke's affections was "to be done
away with"
81 knew it all the time," she is
quoted as saying. 81 knew when l
went riding with Cora and Emil that
she never would return alive"
Zupke and the girl were arrested
Tuesday night after he had admit
ted that he choked Miss Raber to
death and his sweetheart had volun-
tarily surrendered and confessed
that she was with him when the
crime was committed.
Zupke related how he choked Miss
Raber after she had refused to re-
lease him from promise to marry
Or so that he could wed Miss Nc
Kinney. He choked her, he de-
clared, as they were driving through
desolate country near here while
Miss Mckinney was at the wheel of
his roadster.
Zupke and his youthful sweetheart
today faced first degree murder
charges. The girl, bobbed haired
and composed, talks freely, inter
rupting her story of the Staying with
demands for cigarettes. Zupke, a
farmer youth who was turned off of
his fathers home because of his
"wild ways" is as composed. Dressed
in overalls he spent much time
brushing back his oiled locks.
Shown the shoes the woman had
purchased intending to wear at her
wedding with Zupke, he said:
"They don't mean anything to me.
When do we eat"
In his original confession Zupke
omitted all mention of Miss McKin-
ney's name. After she had told the
sheriff that she witnessed the slay-
ing he admitted that the girl was
with him. Now, the sheriff believes
that his sweetheart urged him to
kill Miss Raber to get her out of
the way so that their own planned
marriage would not be interfered
with.

CONFERES WORRIED

London, Aug. Ia, (By the A. P.)
The deadlock between the French
and the Germans on the question
of the time limit for the military
evacuation of the Ruhr is imperil-
ling the success of the international
conference, it was indicated today
after hurried meeting of the
English, French, Belgian and Ger
man premiers at Downing street
this morning had failed to provide
tangible results.
Delegates at the conference hope
and expect, however, that Ameri-
can and British intervention will
save the program which the allies
have agreed upon for instituting
the Dawes reparation plan.
After the meeting between Prem
ier Herriot of France. Premier
Theunis of Belgium and Chancellor
Marx of Germany, which lasted
about 20 minutes, American ambas-
sador Frank B. Kellogg and Ameri-
can representative, James Logan,
Jr., rushed to the American en-
bassy and Joined Owen D. Young
and the other American experts on
the Dawes plan to consider what
action they might take to solve the
new complication.
The Germans returned to their
hotel, and directed cables to Ber-
lin which carried the news of the
unfavorable turn of the conference
to the members of the German cab
met at the ether end of the wire.
After brief German cabinet meet
ing, negotiated by cable, Chancel-
lor Marx and Foreign Minister
Stresemann, returned to Downing
street.
After his return to his hotel M.
Herriot said.
"The allies are with us and we
are in complete control of the sit
uation."
