FORTUNE IN GRAVEL
BLOWN FROM ROADS
Roherty Estimates 81 500, 900
Replacement Cost in High
way Destruction

More than $l,5oo00o is literally
blowing off the highways Of North
Dakota, J. N. Roherty, state highway
department research engineer, esti-
mated Tuesday.
This huge sum Is represented in dust
clouds, resulting from gravel destruc-
ton by moving vehicles across the
state each year. Roherty said.
Approximately 200 yards per mile
per year disappear from the high
ways, he explained, at an average cost
Of more than 81 per yard replace
ment.
Maintenance costs annually reach
the figure Of $1,000. 900, he pointed
out, including only costs Of ditch
cleaning, weed cutting and smooth
ing OF surfaces.
Serious shortage Of money with
which to continue construction work
on highways faces the department.
Roherty said, under the new federal
law which will become effective July
/ Of next year, making it necessary
for the state to match federal monies
dollar for dollar.
No construction can be undertaken
during the next biennium, unless
special appropriations are made. Rob-
erty said, although the need for mon
les may not be felt until late In 1885.
Until that time, he explained, pres
ent federal relief money will care TOR
construction In the state.
Reverting Of motor vehicle tax
monies to the state highway depart
ment would give the department SUI
ficient to meet construction costs. he
explained.

POLICE CLOSING in

Third Member Of Assassin Ring
Gives Authorities Valued
Information

Melun, France, Oct. l6.-(P)-Valu-
able information concerning the in
ternational ring of plotters which
delivered death to King Alexander OF
Yugoslavia was drawn Tuesday from
the third man to be held for the
Marseille assassinations.
French and Yugoslav detectives
said their belief that the gang en-
gagged in widespread Vaccinations
was confirmed by seven-hour grill
ing of Sylvester Malny.
The whereabouts Of DR.. Ante Pave
Itch. described as the director Of the
plot, are known to Yugoslav author
tiles. police said, and they are clos
ing In on him. A woman accomplice
is being traced from Paris.
1.-THE case Is in fine shape" said
chief Simonevitch OF the Yugoslav
Surete.
A five-day search for Malny end
ed when he was seized after hunger
and thirst drove him from F'ontain-
bleau forest.
The Surete Rationale announced
that Malny had confessed he was
sent to Marseille with Kalemen to
assaSSinate the king.
Authorities said Malny fled before
the assassination because he feared
he would injure other persons in the
attempt to take the kings life. Ac-
cording to Malny's alleged confession,
he said, Il was upset by the idea that
other persons than the king might be
struck and I wanted to abandon the
project and told Kalemen SO. He
grabbed me by the arm. I was then
afraid Of being shot down myself by
Kalemen and I lost myself in the
crowd to escape him."

New York, Oct. 16.-(P)-A hand
writing experts testimony indicated
Tuesday that the fate OF Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann, indicted in New Jer-
sey on charge Of murder in the
Lindbergh kidnapping. may rest on the
letter "X''. The testimony was given
in a hearing in which Hauptmann
sought to escape extradition to New
Jersey from New York.
The expert, Albert D. Osborn, testi-
fled before Supreme Court Justice
Ernest E. L. Hammer, that 1t was the
formation Of this letter that led him
to the opinion Hauptmann wrote the
original ransom note left in the Lind
berghs' Hopewell. N. J., home the
night their son was abducted.
Sees Peculiar Formation
The peculiar formation Of this let

both the original ransom note and in
Hauptmann's writing Of the word

Osborn spent Is minutes on the
stand lingering the exhibits and try
ing to call them by their proper ex-
hibit numbers. Justice Hammer told
him to testify only as to those ex-
hibits of the six Hauptmann auto IL
cense registration applications, that
he had used definitely as q basis for
Handwriting comparisons.
Osborn selected five.
THE letter I was looking for was

several times-I think three times
in the disputed letter (refering to
the original ransom note).
Attorney General David T. Will
entz of New Jersey told Supreme
Court Justice Hammer that the Lind
bergh ransom notes, which he claimed
the state had proved were written by
Hauptmann, ARE an admission and
confession on the part of Haupt-
mann that he was in the baby's room
the night Of the kidnapping"
Wilentz dramatically read ex-
cerpts from the ransom notes, includ-
ing one which asked why did you
ignore our letter we left in your
room?" Another quotation was now
we will send you the sleeping suit
from the baby" and third asked
ibid you send the little package to
Mr.. Lindbergh? It contains the sleep
ing suit from the baby"
Before Tuesdays session began Mrs.
Hauptmann was asked whether she
felt that her husband had vindicated
himself on the stand Monday.

PEGS, Hungary, Oct. l6.-(R-Twelve
hundred suicide striking" miners
came out Of their pits alive Tuesday
on promises Of better pay but express
ed dissatisfaction with the offer
which had kept them from dying un-
derground.
One miner, speaking for his COM
rades, said: 1.-THE new terms offered
by the company are no good. We
accepted them because we were de-
mented."
What the miners underwent below
ground probably will mean suicide for
some Of them, for few are in such
critical condition from their priva-
tons and underground air poisoning
that physicians said they feared they
might die.
Hospitals were crowded with 10 of
the 'resurrected" miners who, when
they were brought out Of their black
pit, looked like starved beggars with
their faces covered with whiskers and
their clothes In tatters.
Gnawed Shoe Leather
Lajos Molnar, Z 72-year old miner
who had been working in the local
pits for So years, was the spokes-
man for the miners.
Our pangs Of hunger" he said,
"maddened us to such an extent that
we ate our leather belts and gnawed
our shoes.
I'VE couldn't even have the small
mercy Of sleep because the corridor
Of the pits were so narrow that We
were forced to stand up on each side
Of the corridor. The men placed
their knees in this position against
the men on the opposite side 50 they
wouldn't topple over.
Even so, scores collapsed from
weakness. Helpless to rise, they were
trampled on in the pitch blackness by
their comrades"
Expressing the dissatisfaction Of the
men with the operators offer, he
said:

I'VE don't even get Is per cent Of
our demands. Could any American
coal miner live on 80 cents q day and
support his wife and family?"
The miners dissatisfaction with the
company's settlement was also shared
by the townspeople. Shopkeepers sold
the miners and their families bread
and bologna on credit and fund was
started to give them charity.

FEAR FOR LIFE OF
MRS. STOLL GROWS
AS SILENCE HOLDS
Authorities Seek Two Men But
Have Only Blind Alleys to
Work on

Louisville, KY, Oct. 16.-R)-Solu-
ton Of the stoll kidnap mystery was
represented by police Tuesday to rest
on the capture of two men-one the
short and muscular man who executed
the actual abduction-and the other
strapping six-footer.
AS nerve-wprn peace officers-fed-
eral and municipal-groped through
the maze of clues that have arisen
since the disappearance Of Alice
Speed Stoh, it became known that the
second man sought for questioning
In the case Is Of blonde coloring and
about 40 years old.
His features are described as thin
long, pointed nose, narrow lips and
close-set eyes.
Maid Describes 'Fiend'
The description Of the kidnaper
given authorities by Anne Violet, the
Stoll maid, outlined him as having an
extremely pale face that was twisted
into "fiendish" grimace all during
the time he was In sight.
George Stoll, a brother-in-law, spoke
the thoughts of the clan. IF we could
just get some word 1t wouldn't be
such . terrific strain. # there were
only some way Of knowing how she
Is. ="
Indications that Frederic M. Sack
EFT, former ambassador to Germany
and uncle Of Mrs. Stoll. has become
the real intermediary in the case, were
given in reliable quarters by persons
who declined use Of their names.
Sackett IS known to be spending q
large part Of his time within the
closely guarded seclusion Of the Stoll
home, although disclaimers OF his
presence are frequent.
Meanwhile, belief that Mrs. Stoll
was alive was expressed by the Louis
vile Courier Journal.
Pointing to the fact that two days
have passed since the family had
broadcast an appeal to the kidnaper,
the newspaper said q member Of the
family declined to comment on the
suggestion that lack Of radio appeals
indicated word had been received
from the kidnap victim.
George stoll, her brother law,
has said the family would even delay
announcement Of Mrs. Stoll's return,
II the abductor insisted upon such
terms to enable his getaway"
Some Believe Her Dead
There are some persons who believe
Mrs. Stoll IS dead. The $4,000 ram
som note IS reported to have set Mon
day Is the time either for the murder
Of the woman or for second COM
munication.
Judging from George Stolls remarks
there was no communication.
Major william Schmidt pointed to
another angle. Figure it out for
yourself" he said. Mrs. Stoll was
sick and thinly clothed. It was the
coolest night Of the season. and she
was struck. It looks bad"
Police Monday expressed the theory
that the actual abductor was DOM
mated by another Observation-Disclosures
the tall blonde or q third person.
They recalled that the abduction
was done with force and violence and
yentured that q skilled kidnaper would
never operate with such crudeness.
The ransom note has been described
as the work Of highly-intelligent
person.
