PER CAPITA DEBT
$45.45 FOR STATE
Only Four Others Have Higher
Indebtedness Per Person, Re-
port Shows.

Delaware has a bonded debt of
$10,921 1855, giving the State the fifth
largest per capita debt of any state
in the Union, but there are twenty
seven states which have a larger
gross debt. Practically all the
bonds outstanding represent ex-
penditure for construction high
ways.
These facts are brought out in a
nationwide survey just completed
by The Bank of America, New York,
which reveals that the state govern
ment of the United States have to-
tai bonded debt of $1,846,113,577,72,
or $15.75 per capita.
Nearly half this huge outstanding
debt has been incurred within the
past five years and in the past two
years alone more than $355, 100000
worth of new bonds have been issued
while some $6S,O00,000 worth have
been retired.
Highways and bridge construction
is responsible for45.2 per cent Of the
total Indebtedness. The Bank of
America statisticans have found.
Actually $834,467, ,05S worth of bonds
outstanding have been issued for
this purpose which is significant in
view of the comparatively recent
large scale building of roads. Sol
diers' bonuses account for $271,528,
900 or 14.7 per cent of the total out
standing debt, while waterways and
harbors comes third in the list of
purposes for bond issues with to-
tai of $222,5O8,S00 or12.1 per cent.
Only 1.9 per cent. of the total debt
represents expenditure for educat-
ional purposes.
New York States debt of $S41, ,059-
900 is the largest of any state in the
Union. North Carolina ranks second
with a debt of $143,302,600 and Illi-
nois third with $137, 7,212,500. Flor
ida, Nebraska, Kentucky, and Wis
consin have no bonded debt.
The highest per capita debt of any
state in the Union is that of South
Dakota, amounting to $S5.15 or
nearly five and a half times the
average for the nation. Oregon is
second with $72.49 per capita, North
Carolina third with $50.17, North
Dakota fourth with $48.12 and Della
ware fifth with per capita debt of
$45.45.
The Pacific group comprising
Washington, Oregon and California
have the highest per capita debt of
any section. The Bank of America

ing to the geographical areas of the
country. Its debt per inhabitant is
$25.93, more than one and half
times the average for the nation. AT
the opposite end of the country, New
England ranks second having a per
capita debt of S22.31. The West
North Central division, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas has
a per capita debt of $22.24 while the
Middle and South Atlantic states
have a debt per person of $20.98
and $18.14, respectively
Below the average for the country
as a whole are the Mountain states
having a debt of $11.09, the East
North Central $9.77, East South
Central $7.32 and West South Cen
trail with $522. All but two of the
geographical groups increased their
debts within the past two years, de-
creases being recorded only by the
West, South, Central andMountain
divisions.

Many of the worlds adventurers
are only spirits out on the high
seas, without chart or compass.
There is a strange alchemy in a
wandering life that tends to deaden
the memory of the happy years. And
yet, if they could only be shared the
sweetest memories would live again.
There never was time in the his
tory of affections dying fame that it

HENRY FORD HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Two Men With Another Car Try to
Kiln Him Is Belief of Close Friends.

DETROIT, March 80 Henry Ferd,
Americas first Millionaire, and prb-
ably the richest man in the world,
received injuries here Sunday night,
not as the result Of an accident, but
as the directeffort by two men 20
kill him.
From sources closest to Ford him
self, it is learned there was definite
plot to assassinate the manufacturer.
While Ford rode in one of his small
coupes across the River Rouge bridge,
fifteen miles out Of Detroit, he was
assaulted by these two mysterious men
in large automobile. They crowded
Ford in his smaller car, making every
effort to push him off the bridge
where it crosses the River Rouge at
the deepest point.
Ford, agile for his age, frustrated
their attempt by the cleverest driving,
slowing down, turning and speeding
up again alternately and keeping the
larger car from an actual collision.
He whizzed past the danger spot
in the middle Of the bridge but the
great speed of the heavier car finally
got tn best Of him and in final des-
perate lunge to the side Of the road
forced the small Ford off the bridge
runway and down an embankment
where it finally crashed into a tree.
No one knows how long the billion
aire, who was riding by himself, lay
in his car, dazed, chest and back bad
ly hurt and suffering internal heinor-
rhages. Eventually he was able to
clamer out Of his car and stagger to
the gate Of his estate, where he man
aged to give gate keeper some
idea Of what had happended.
The gatekeeper called Mrs. Ford,
and together they helped him to the

tomobiles, taxis and buses and 1884,
222 were motor trucks and road trac-
tors. The increase in motor trucks
and road tractors amounted to 1872
per cent, which is somewhat greater
than the increase for all classes of
motor vehicles, indicating continual
ton of the development of commodity
transportation by highway.
Receipts from registration fees, IL

BIG NINE EXPLOSION

South Fork, Pa, Mar. 30--Between
$50 and 600 miners were entombed,
and a number of workmen on the
surface were killed this afternoon
when a terrific explosion spread
death and destruction through mine
number 3 of the Pennsylvania Coal
and Coke Corporation at Ehrenfield,
ner here.
The entire day shift of miners, to-
gather with some extra men, were
in the workings when the blast oc-
cured.
South Fork was rocked as if by
an earth quake and an office building
near the mouth of themine, was
blown down.
So far as is known, none of the
men in the mine escaped and rescue
experts held little hope for them,
pointing out that it was practically
impossible for life to exist where the
force of the explosion was so great.
The drift mouth of the mine was
wrecked. Earth came tumbling down
from the hill into which the channel
leads.

STATES TO BUILD 26,sal
MILES or ROADS IN 1921

The construction OF 26,S41 miles OF
road and the maintenance Of 239,S47
miles are included in the 1927 State
highway programs of AZ States &C
cording to reports received by the

the reconstruction Of roads previous

tainty of supporting legislation no es-
innate OF the seasons work is posi-
BILE as yet in Connecticut.
In carrying out the above programs
it is expected there will be expended
under the supervision Of the State

a total of $64S, 4S3,000.
In addition to the State expendi-
lures approximate estimates indicate
that counties and other lesser subdivi-
sions of Government will expend DUR

OF the expenditures by the State
highway departments of the AZ States
approximately $421 200, 900 is the es-
timated amount for road construction
and, according to present plans, more
than $56,000,000 additional will be

ASKS $1,00O.OO0 DAMAGES OF
FORD

DETROIT, March 20.--Calmly,
with no trace of anger or bitterness
in his voice. Aaron Sapiro told d
federal court jury his story Of alleg-
ed libels by Henry Ford and the
automobile manufacturers weekly.
the Dearborn Independent, for which
he asks $1,00O,0OO.
Sapiro discloses how his net in
come had declined since the Indepen-
dent published series of anti-Jew-
ish articles. He also stated that since
the alleged libelous articles were
published he had received no requests
from farmers to form cooperative
agencies, and only three established
co-operatives had sought his services
or advice.
Argument over the legality Of adj
hitting Sapiro's figures of income as
evidence Of damage allegedly done by
the articles, occupied most Of the day.
Ford's counsel maintained the in
come figures could not be taken into
account because many Of his activ-
tiles as q cooperative organizer were
arried on in states in which he was
legally qualified to practice.
Judge Fred M. Raymond, however,
held with sapiro's counsel that reci-
procal rights accorded by the various
states permitted it.

ELKINs FIRM IN
LUMBER MERGER

The Spears Lumber Company. a
newly organized concern, has taken
over the holdings of the Whitmer-
Parsons Pulp and Lumber Company.
The company operated in Randolph
and Pendleton counties where large
acreage of timber, together with all
appertenances has been bought by
the new company. This is believed to
be the largest lumber deal in this
section in recent years. The Whitmer-
Parsons Pulp and Lumber Company
was capitalized at 100000 which
would probably be the approximate
purchase price of the properties.
The new concern has applied for a
charter designating 100000 as the
capital stock and naming S. T. Spears
as the president, Hugh Pritt, Of Par
sons, as vice-president and R. S.
Irons. of Elkins assecretary and
treasure. The new company plans the
construction Of five miles Of new
railroad for the purpose of the de-
velopment of new acreage. They also
plan many new operations, and a
