BOARD DISCUSSES
NAMES OF ROADS
Establishment of Uniform
System for Designations
Under Amusement.

Establishment of a uniform system
for designation of the names of i'm
portant interstate highways was one
of the main topics for discussion be-
fore the joint board on interstate
highways, meeting here today at the
Bureau of Public Roads. Uniformity
of names of highways hundreds of
miles long, which are sometimes
designated by several names through
out their length, was to be sought by
agreement among road commissioners
representing a score of States in the
East and Middle West. 1t was
brought out that one road in the
West 1900 miles long had Is diff.
ferent names during it's course. Dup
lication of names has proven very
confusing to tourists and others
using the road. the conference was
told.
Single Names Suggested.
The suggestion that roads connect
ing States be known by single
name rather than a multiplicity of
designations. was made last Fall at
a conference of highway commits
sioners.
Efforts will be made to retain the
names of the principal highways.
such as Lincoln Highway and other
nationally known roads, but the
board expressed approval of abandon
ing certain names of roads which are
only links in National highway sys-
tenn.
Roads between States and impor-
tant cities in the Middle West, it was
pointed out. have greater uniformity
of designation than the principal
highways in the East, where duplica-
ton of names and routes often proves
confusing to the motorist
Numbers Of Principal Highways.
The board aims to designate the
principal interstate highways by
number rather than by name. a
method said to have been followed in
the Middle West with success. Thomas
H. Macdonald, chief of the Bureau of
Public Roads, presided at the meet
ing, which was to last over tomorrow.

WOMEN'S SESSION
0. KS FIVE ISSUES
Department of Education,
Shoals, Child Labor Amend
ment Favored.
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va. April 20.-Major
questions of national governmental
policy came to the fore during the
session of the convention of the
National League of Woman Voters
here today and the league went on
record az fayoring the creation Of a
Federal department of education. for
making "a national asset" of Muscle
Shoals. for the child labor amend
ment. for Federal aid in education
and for larger Federal appropriations
for home economic education.
An attempt to have the league take
a stand on the question of birth con
troll was killed when President Belle
Sherwin ruled that the bylaws for
bade discussion of any questions not
already involved in the programs of
work for 1925-26 as submitted by the
committees.
The question of State rights was
injected into consideration of the pro-
gram for education, when Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland delegations lead
recommending the creation of a Fed
eral department of education.
Objections Overcome.
Miss Lavonia Engle, leading the
Maryland forces, objected to the
league approving a Federal board of
education, because she said she felt
there should be no Capitalization of
the educatfve powers; that States
should be allowed to work out the
problem of education. She moved TO
have the convention transfer the
question from the group of Iegisla tive
recommendations to the group of
study and not to take a stand on the
matter until the women had time TO
inform themselves more on the par
ticular needs of educa tiCn
Several delegates objected that the
present Federal Bureau of Education
was too small and that there was
need of wider governmental research
and application in the field of educa-
ton.
The transfer motion was brought TO
a vote. An acclamation vote failed 10
satisfy the adherents OF the motion
and a rising vote was asked. The mo-
ton was lost.
Again Maryland and PENNSYLVANIA
combined, this time to thwart the
question of recommending Federal aid
to education purposes.
The women should study the equal
iZation of taxes in their respective
States and determine facts before go.
ing into the matter of asking Federal
alu, MIS- JonH hllleF OIL fnllaGeI phla
declared.
Mrs. Miller then moved to transfer
the matter Of Federal aid from the
legislative recommendation group To
the group for study.
Instantly IN objection came from a
member of the California delegation
who declared: I'VE indorsed the pol.
icy of Federal aid when we voted to
accept the recommendation for the
national maternity act few minutes
ago. The league should take the
same stand on this matter"
Miss Engle took the floor and re-
iterated the substance of Mrs Miller's
objections to the recommendation.
The motion was put to a vote and
President Sherwin declared II lost
Immediately the whole program for
education was accepted by the con.
Vention.

Coolidge Inuites
Bay State Friend
To Haze Chat
John NJ. floods Recalls
Joke President Sprung
in State House.

Sixty-two years ago John NJ Woods,
young private in Boston Infantry
regiment, caught his first glimpse of
the White House from what are now
known as the Monument grounds.
His outfit was camped there, and as
he walked out of the White House
today he remarked that he never
dreamed then that he would be sit
ting within the White House talking
TO President of the United States.
He received that thrill today. He
has known "CaP' Coolidge. as he re-
fered to the President, for good
many years. They served in the Mas
sachusetts Legislature together The
President learned that Mr.. Woods and
his wife were in Washington seeing
the sights, so he sent a box of roses
from the White House gardens to
Mrs. Woods and an invitation TO come
and chat with him before leaving
the city
Mr.. and Mrs. Woods presented them
selves before 10 O'Clock this morning
and were without delay ushered into
the Presidents private office. where
for nearly 30 minutes there followed
a. talk dealing principally with the
old Bay State. The two men became
reminiscent Of their days in the State
Legislature, and Mr.. Woods reminded
the President of quip he sprung on
a group of men in the Senate cloak
room one day when he was the pre-
siding officer Of that body.
AS Mr.. Woods narrated the Incl
dent today. the President was passing
this group OF wags, when he was
hailed to settle a dispute as to the
proper use of English. Mr.. Woods
said the President was asked: (Which
is correct-a hen lays or a hen lies?"
To this the President is said TO have
replied: up Northampton way we
don't pay so much attention to the
English as we do TO determining, when
we hear a hen cackle, whether she is
laying or lying"

field Jones to Be Taken
Here and in Baltimore.

Additional arrests were expected
momentarily in both Washington and
Baltimore today in the liquor con
spiracy. which resulted in the arrest
Saturday night of Winfield Jones of
this city and his brother Neufield
Tong Jones of Atlanta, Ga.
How many arrests might be made
officials of the Treasury Department
did not reveal, but it was indicated
that the alleged conspiracy was far
reaching and probably would involve
several other persons.
The headquarters of the conspiracy
was said by officials to have been
located in Baltimore, where there is
located the Maryland Drug and
Chemical Co., from which the Jones
brothers were charged with having
diverted for beverage purposes al
cohol obtained on permits for use in
toilet preparations.
Informal advices reaching Wash

arrests had already been made in
Baltimore today, but official confirma-
ton of this was lacking and no names
were available at noon.
Elmer l.. Trey. chief of the intelli-
gence unit of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, announced today that the
Government would take the conspir-
acy case into the Baltimore courts.

REVOLT IN LISBON
QUELLED BY ARMY
Many Casualties Reported in
Portuguese Capital Before
Order Is Restored.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, April 20.-Latest advices
received in official quarters from Lis
bon today indicate that all is quiet
in the Portuguese capital and that
order has been restored after Sat
urday's short-lived revolt.
The attempted coup was started
Saturday morning and there was vio-
lent fighting throughout the night, the
movement only being quelled yester-
day morning when the rebellious
troops gave up their arms and were
confined in barracks.
The revolt was led by Maj. Filomeno
Camara, who had under him several
hundred men, cavalry, artillery and
infantry.
Many Revolters Killed.
Many of the revolutionists were
killed or wounded when regular troops
drew a Gordon about their headquart-
ers and showered them with shrapnel.
Lisbon dispatches have given no
estimate of the number of casualties,
but they are said to have been COM
paratively high for such a brief period
of activity.
Mai. Camara's first act was to over
throw the directory, the governing
body, and to place a number of the
officials under arrest.
L
of the ministers took refuge in the
main barracks and shortly afterward
loyal troops surrounded the rebels at
their meeting place, the Paco Da
Rotondo. In the meantime serious
disturbances occurred in various parts
of the city, where bombs were thrown
and many persons were killed.
Alleged Leaders Arrested.
The actual leader of the movement
is believed to have been former Pre-
mier Cunha Leal; he now is a prisoner
in the Carmo barracks of the re-
publican guard. Another of the lead
ers arrested was the head of the ma
tionalistas. Gen. Sinel Cordes was
taken prisoner.
A government announcement says
that the revolutionaries had planned
to place Cordes at the head of their
ministry. A few of those most prom
inently concerned in the movement
have taken refuge in the Spanish
legation.

Mr.. Cooper applied practical ideas for
more rapidly collecting and delivering
news
Thus his first important specific
assignment was TO undertake q re-
organizatio of the communications
system of the Associated Press, and
by Mr.. Stones direction in 1912 he
organized the traffic department and
was it's first chief. Having earlier
evolved the idea of the application of
the telephone to the dissemination of
press reports he applied it extensively.
He established the first automatic
telegraph printer service utilized by
any press association. which doubled
the capacity of each telegraph wire
upon which 1t was installed and af-
forded simultaneous delivery of the
news report to each of large number
of newspapers on urban or interurban
circuits.
Cable Problem Attacked.
The problem of cable news trans
mission presented by the Europea n
war, especially after the modification
|, of the censorship. was serious. Hun
dreds of thousand of words of news
were being offered in competition with
large quotas of governmental reports
Mr.. Cooper went to Europe, visiting
the main centers of transmission
Priority for news over Government
cables was out of the question, but
by taking advantage of modern means
of preparing news and getting it 10
the cables the actual time of trans
mission from Europe to this country
was materially lowered.
Upon assignment by President Noyes
in 1918 TO investigate the press asso
citation field in South America, the ex
tensive Associated Press service now
being sent there was established
through arrangements made by MIR
Cooper on three trips. In preparation
for this work he acquired a fluent
knowledge of Spanish prior to his first
South American visit.
Native OF Indiana.
He finished his work in the traffic
department with his advancement to
the position of assistant general man
ager in 1920, having continued in that
work with the idea that he would
eventually return to more intimate
participation in the news work of the
organization. which had always held a
fascination for him. This extensive
travelling over a period of 10 years
gave him opportunity to keep an ad-
YiSory watch upon the work OF the
correspondents and filing editors.
Mr.. Cooper was born in Columbus,
Ind. March %, 1880 and actually be-
gan newspaper work at 13 years of age
as a reporter for a newspaper in his
native town. He continued this work
during each school vacation until he
entered Indiana University, where his
father. George w. Cooper, and his
mother had been graduated in the
same class in 1872. After the death
of his father, in 1899, Mr.. Cooper left
the university and became a reported
on the Indianapolis Press, continuing
with the paper until its consolidation
with the Indianapolis News. There
after he worked as reporter and city
editor of other Indianapolis papers.

GENEVA, April 20.-Soviet Russia
