Moorefeld, engineer of the state
highway department. E. B. JEFF
fress, chairman of the highway
commission of North Carolina, was
the personal representative of Gov
ernor 0. Max Gardner, of North
Carolina, who was unable to at
tend because of last-minute en-
ergency legislative matters at
Raleigh. Mr.. Jeffress referred to
the controversy between North
and South Carolina motorists over
requirements that North Carolina
license tags be carried on cars do
ing business in that state.
mo state which wants tourists
or lives on its gasoline tax should
be picayunish about license tags,
he said, pledging that some meas
ure affording free commerce over
the highways will be arranged.
Mayor Harold Kaminski, of
Georgetown, welcomed the multi
tude and the distinguished guests
to Georgetown and described the
significance to the coastal country
of the new highway. Mayor
Stoney, Of Charleston, who with
Mayor Kaminski represented the
two oldest towns in the Carolinas,
which now are linked together by
a modern system of highways and
bridges, brought the greeting Of
Charleston. The coastal section,
he said, needs repopulation, and
needs to sell its wares to the in
habitants of more northerly and
less fertile lands.
Hard work, he said, is the an
sWer to the means and groans of
depression now heard On all sides.
He touched en- the historical aspect
of the country through which the
highway passes, but said that past
deeds stand for little if they are
not inspiration to greater ones in
the present. Ben M. Sawyer, high
way commissioner of South Caro-
lima, defended the states $65,OOO,-
600 bond issue act against its crit
les, saying that if a road were
built honestly and in a territory
where it is needed, it is worth
every penny it costs. He said that
only 25,OOO,OOO Of the total had
been used and no one had suggest
ed that additional bonds exceeding
S45, 100000 be issued.

By United Prcss
MINEOLA, L. l., Sept. 24.-The
attractive red-haired widow Of Long
Island sounds pirate" murder VIC
tim was expected to view here to-
day two men believed to fit descrip-
tons she gave of the pirates who
killed her husband, attacked her,
and abandoned her baby on the
yacht Penguin.
The two men are in Mineola po-
lice station, not under arrest, but
resting in cells voluntarily until Mrs.
Lillian Ceilings, the widow, attempts
TO identify them.
One of the two men is Timothy
Quinn, released earlier in the morn
ing by authorities after Alexander
Blue, district attorney Of Suffolk
county, questioned him, and in a
terse statement said Quinn would
not be detained.
Quinn apparently had convinced
Blue he was not the man sought in
connection with the murder mys-
terry. Blue led reporters and court
hangers-on to believe Quinn was not
the man.
Quinn appears to be As years old.
He is about feet inches tall. His
hair is close cropped. His eyes fit
the description of the "madman"
Mrs. Ceilings said attacked her in a
canoe.
His companion is youth Of
about ID, also fitting the description
of the younger pirate" on that
fateful night two weeks ago.
Quinn is a former patient in
asylums, according to police, and
three times, they said, he had been
questioned in connection with other
murders.
Quinn first was arrested at the
home of his brother, physician, by
James Smith and Thomas Devery,
detectives. He was traced through
telephone calls from oyster Bay to
Queens, but denied any knowledge
of the murder.
1t was learned here, however,
