By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Presi-
dent Hoover today referred to the
justice department an appeal from
New Mexico officials asking eXecu-
tive pardon for Albert B. Fall.
The Geographic appeal was re-
ceived at the White House soon
after the President reached his Of

ted to the Office of the attorney
general.
Mr.. Hoover will take no action in
the matter until the department in
vestigates and makes a recommen-
dalton, it was said. Mr.. Hoover's
speech at the Harding memorial
dedication, stating no punishment
is too great for officials guilty OF
malfeasance in office, generally has
been interpreted as representing Mr.
Hoovers opposition to clemency. The
telegram was signed by Governor
Arthur Seligman, Senators Cutting
and Bratton and all members of the
1881 New Mexico legislature.

COMMISSION
GOES TO Bat
FOR BLACKTOP
Federal Patronage Sought
in Conference With
u. S. Road Chief.
DISAPPOINTMENT IS DUE
VoSheII Standing Firm on
$460,000 Road Aid
Refusal.

Once more the state highway
commission has gone to bat for their
blacktop paving specifications, upon
which they have been unable to col
lect federal aid.
Director John J. Brown, commits
sioner, and state highway engineers
were in conference this morning
with j. T. Voshell, chief of the
federal roads bureau in the Chi
cago district
1t was explained that the confer
ence was to try and get VoShelI to
support the state blacktop con-
struction by approving the program
for federal aid.
This has been refused many times
previously and by noon today it APP
peared that there will be no re-
versal of the federal roads bureau
stand.
AT the beginning of this conStruc-
ton period, A. H Hinkle, mainte-
nance engineer who has charge of
blacktop construction, had agreed to
collect $460O00 on the federal aid
piled up to Indiana's credit at
Washington.
So far only one blacktop project
| has been approved for federal aid
and the whole matter of such con-
struction is to be heard in Marion
circuit court. Other specifications
submitted to the federal roads bu-
reau have been turned down. in
Guiding the road involved in the
court suit.
Meanwhile concrete construction
has been reduced in price to such
an extent that several hundred
thousands of dollars figured for fed
eral aid on concrete has also piled
up and is yet to be collected by the
state department.
The matter Of uncollected federal
aid was the subject of a senate in
vestigation at the 1881 legislative
session.
