Outlaw Highway Signs
 Must Be Removed Soon

New London, Dec. 2.-P)- More than 100 landowners in this county have been issued 10 day notices to have outlaw highway signs removed or legalized as the result of cam- paign against the sign nuisance by the state police at the Groton bar- racks under Sergeant Clifford N. Gorgas.
 Signs within the boundaries of the highways and signs on private pro- perty on which taxes have not been paid are those against which the campaign Is directed. More than a score of signs have already been removed by land owners and less than half the country has thus far been covered.

willingness to accept the decision ol the court in these words:
 T know that your honor will de- termine this question as you have determined everything in this case with absolute fairness, both to the defendants and to the state, and l am perfectly willing to take your honor's judgment. There are many things to be considered beside the evidence-the length of time, the publicity, the peculiar way the case was handled four years ago, all of those things will have to be con- sldered by your honor, and will bow only to your decision, but I will greet your decision with glad ness"
 Governors Stand
 Governor Moore declined to com ment on Simpsons suggestion for an investigation. or on dispatches from the state capitol at Trenton yesterday to the effect that Thigh authority" there had said an &C., quittal in the present trial would end all activity In the Hall Mills prosecution. He said he would take Simpsons suggestion under advise- ment," but considered it unwise that he comment until the present trial is ended. Simpson said he would not take any steps toward further prosecution without consulting the governor.
 The governor was asked if de- cision as to trial of the defendants, Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall and her brothers, Henry and Willie Stevens, on further indictments, and of Henry De La Bruyere Carpenter, yet to be brought to trial, would be left up to Simpson.
 T don't think so," he replied. That is, I do not believe he will attempt to do anything without first consulting me. But I won't do anything about that or the question of investigation until this trial is over. I will back him up as long as he runs true to form. I will back him up, but expect to have some- thing to say beforehand about what am to back"
 The special prosecutors motion for mistrial was denied by Justice Parker without his asking the de- fense to rebut affidavits purporting to show neglect of duty and bias on the part of the jury. Summation for the defense was started shortly afterward by Robert H. McCarter. who was still talking when court adjourned for the day.
 MT. McCarter charged the prose- cution with manufacturing evidence slandering dead men. calling crim- inals and periurors as witnesses and with bringing the wrong people to trial.
 He told the jury that James Mills, husband of the slain woman, had a better opportunity to learn of the love affair between his wife and the Rev. MT. Hall than did Mrs. Hall and also pointed out the possibility of robbery as a motive.

 can lend us a great deal of assistance. They have a splendid organization, he said. and if they can be impressed with the value of mining prop critics here and the need for roads and trails and money in the hands of honest experienced developers-not wild-catters-,I am sure we can get a lot of help from them.
 MT. Weston said it was a privilege to be among a bundle ol live wires like the assemb- lage and he appreciated MT. Garfield's remarks. He said he had spent two months driv- ing through the Peace River district and had seen the grain fields that yielded as high as 92 bushels of wheat to the acre, and ordinarily gave from 80 to 85 bushels. That grain must come out here sometime, he declared, and in such case the little mistake in laying the boundary line may prove to be bread cast upon the waters because there is a prospect that Canada may soon build a road out here-z a transcontinental road with a terminal at Hyder.
 MT. Gucker referred to the proposal of Juneau to change it's time to that of Seattle for business reasons and said they are trying to persuade all Alaska to follow suit.
 Dr. Hall extended greetings from Ketchikan and said they are glad we are near them and wished we were nearer. He also announced that a del egation of Commercial Club members will visit Hyder in about 8 weeks and added that they will be happy if they find as much to interest them as he had found in the two days of his visit.

LOCAL TOPICS

F. N. Cronholm asserted that Alaska is becoming the same source of revenue to the West as the West used to be to the East. He said Alaska is as big as Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California, with Florida thrown in to boot. It is a lot of territory for 30 or 40 thou sand people. Her topography is so difficult of access that it is questionable whether it can be gotten over sufficiently to show it. But we can produce as many mines per mile of road as any other place, so why not more roads. Rather than to build road on road, as is being done at present, the government would do bet ter for the country by building a road up Texas Creek, which, with it's tributaries, was bound to produce mines.
 MT. Walters said that one of the first things he noticed on coming to Hyder was the men, ace of Salmon River to this terminus and outlet to such a rich country. Any flood might wipe out everything we have started. As had been stated a small amount of money can forever eradicate that men, ace. We should have that inn provement as soon as possible, he said, and at least as soon as roads. It seemed peculiar to him that in this country roads should follow develop ment, rather than development following the roads. It seems, he said, that the mines devel- op the roads rather than the roads develop the mines.
 MT. Hovland tersely empha- sized the need for roads and river protection and express ed the view that MT. Garfield will cooperate with us in ev- cry degree possible.

AMERICAN MONUMENT
 IS UNVEILED TODAY
Mrs. Whitney's Creation Formally Dedicated at
 St, Nazaire, France

St. Nazaire, France, June 26 LPp- The monument designed by Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney to commem- crate the leading of the first Ameri- can troops on French soil nine years ago was unveiled today.
 The inhabitants of the city were awakened by a salute of 21 guns, opening the days program. Not since the last troops left in 1919 had the city seen so many American sol ders, marines and high ranking of- ticers.
 The monument, presented to France in behalf of the people Of the United States by the American ambassador. Myron T. Herrick, is probably the most striking Of the war memorials erected in Europe.
 Three hundred feet out in the har- bor. posed on top of a 7o-foot masonry pillor, it depicts a dough- boy in steel helmet standing on the back of an American eagle and carrying in his right hand q sword with the hilt upward in the form of a cross. Inscribed on the base in gold letters is the following:
 Here landed June 26, 1917, con- voyed by the American navy, the first troops Of the American eXpedi- tionary forces, crusaders of right and freedom with the soldiers of France and her allies. Erected by popular contributions from every state of the American union to commemorate a great cause and to honor to imper.shable ideals of liberty that unite the two republics"
 The ceremony Of unveiling was attended by General John J. Persh- ing commander-in- chief of the A. r. r., Brigadier- General Samuel D. Rockenbach, former commander at St. Nazarie when it was known as Base Section No. i. and Rear Ad- miral Albert Gleaves retired, brought back to the active list for this occasion, with the '. S. S. Mem phis as his flagship. Admiral Gleaves commanded the squadron which conveyed the first troops to arrive here during the war.
 Several scores of prominent Ameri- can civilians also made the trip from the United States especially to be present, while the Paris post of the American Legion and various French veterans societies were well presented.
 An official banquet was held this noon. During the afternoon chil- dren's fetes are to be held and the days program ends with a water carnival on the bay and a brilliant illumination Of the city. St. Naiarie is staging a three days fete.
