iowa AND NORTH
DAKOTA ADOPT >
new ROAD LAWS
Minnesota NeighbOrs to Spread
Improvement of Primary
Highways.
Law Retains SameRoute
Bills for a $1OO,OOO,OOO Bond
Issue and a Scent Gas Tax
Still Pending.

The Iowa legislature recently pass
ed and the governor signed a bill by
which that state will now have a pri-
mary road plan similar to the trunk
highway plan which Minnesota adopt
ed six years ago. Up to this time the
Iowa primary roads, although under
state supervision and receiving some
state aid, have been under county
control and dependent on county
financing. The new law retains the
same routes, but permits slight mod
ifications, and places full control and
responsibility for their improvement
and maintenance on the state high
way department. This is expected to
bring about uniform maintenance and
the improvement of continuous
routes.
Improvements To Come.
Minnesota motorists who have oc-
casion to drive through Iowa may
look for a marked improvement in
the Iowa roads in few years. The
law provides, however, that not more
than 80 percent of the primary road
fund may be expended for paving
until the entire mileage of the pri-
mary roads has been graded, drained
and bridged. = At this writing, the
bills for $100,000,0OO bond issue
and a three cent gas tax are still
pending.
North Dakota Legislation.
The North Dakota legislature also
passed bill reorganizing the high
way department and giving it greater
and more definite power over the pri-
mary road system. 1t provides for a
primary road system of not to exceed
$500 miles, to be designated and To-
Gated exclusively by the state depart
ment.
The North Dakota law in reality
creates three distinct bodies, a state
highway commission, consisting of
three members, the governor and two
others appointed by him, and two de-
partments under the commission, the
department of highways, headed by a
chief engineer appointed for four
years, and the department of motor
vehicle registration. The Hoover uni
form traffic act, with some modifica-
tlons, and registration laws intended
to discourage theft of automobiles,
were also adopted.

Miss Brown Interviewed.
When a reporter from the Echo
interviewed Miss w. Gertrude Brown,
Head Resident of Phyllis Wheatley
House, Minneapolis, and Mrs. Lulu
Maxwell of the Family Welfare, who
is responsible for obtaining the in
formation leading up to the arrest of
Hall, said that they wished to par
ticularly thank the st. Paul and
Minneapolis branches of the N. A. A.
C. P, the churches and Women's
Clubs and organizations who gave so
generously of both time and money
in the effort to see that justice was
meted out and that Minnesota pro-
tects all womanhood, regardless of
color.
Child's Age of Interest.
The particular issue in the case
was the matter of the child's age, up
until Mrs. Lizzie Smith, aunt of the
child, was brought in court. 1t ap-
peared that the Halls statement with
reference to her being over the age of
18 would be accepted but Mrs. Smith
convinced the court that the child
was under the age of 18, having kept
a record of her own child's age who
was born the succeeding August in
the year 1913.
Police Active.
Miss Brown of Phyllis Wheatley
House is particularly anxious for the
people of the Twin Cities to know OF
the fair play and courtesy of the
County Attorneys office; the untir-
ing interest manifested on the part
of the social service agencies of the
Twin Cities and the attitude of the
police department. 1t was brought
out before the court that Detective
James A. Mitchell Of the st. Paul
police department made the arrest,
secured the confession from Hall and
constantly kept in touch with the
situation.
Aunt Furnishes Facts.
When the fact is known that the
Aunt, Mrs. Lizzie Smith, came all the
way from Atlanta without any
money, leaving a father near death
and very sick child, depending en-
tirely upon the goodwill of the peo-
pie of Minnesota in seeing her back
in order to give what protection she
could to her niece ,one may get an
idea of the extent of trouble to which
those interested went to to insure
the states being able to convict Hall.
The story of the case would not be
complete without few of the side
lines incident to it's successful con-
clusion. Repeated efforts were made,
according to Miss Brown, on the part
of friends and relatives of the Halls
to intimidate the child to keep her
from giving testimony by coming to
the Settlement House and attempt
ing to see her. A particular incident
is noted in which man who claimed
his name was G. A. Seawood and that
he was from Georgia, and registered
at the Ryan Hotel, st. Paul, came to
the House, claimed he had come
North for the purpose of offering
what assistance he could to Mary
Lizzie; that he merely wanted to get
the facts in the case, and that, of
course, although he was friend of
Hall, If he was guilty, wanted to see
him punished; but he would like
very much to talk with the girl and
the aunt and get some matters
Strengthened out. Needles to say, the
girl was not in to him. After he had
gone inquiry made at the Ryan Hotel
disclosed no such person had regis
tered there. Many similar incidents
could be recounted which made con-
stant supervision of the child neces-
sary ever since Halls arrest.

Chicago. Sept. Is Pt-One of the things that seemed to perturb Judge otto kerner yesterday before finally granting Fanny Brice's petition to divorce Jules "Nicky" Arnstein, was how the comadieune intended 70 support her two children without financial help from their father.
 "I work" said Miss Brice.
 What is your business or profes- slon?" the court inquired.
 Miss Brice, sometimes spoken of as the funniest woman on earth" seemed taken aback at this. Finally she gave the monosyllahic answer: Actress"
 The court pursued the matter.
