ROADS DAY
PROVES A FIASCO

PLENTYWOOD, June 19.-The
Good Roads Day, ballyhooed by
Harry Folks Herald, was not the
glittering success that the Herald
had wished it to be. A small
crowd attended during the after
noon, no particular enthusiasm be-
ing shown for the discussions. If
one thing could be called q success,
the free coffee was it. Quite
crowd collected after the Tuesday
demorstrat ion to help drink i.
The free dance in the evening
also proved to be improperly ad-
vertised as the admission price
was 40 cents. So not by any
yardstick could the affair be meas
ured to be a bowling success.

INDIANAPOLIS, September IL
The body of 13-year-old Donald Ed
ward Dillon. who had been missing
since Sunday, floated from a sewer on
the South Side here during a rain
storm today. There was a gag in the
boys mouth and police reported he
had been shot twice through the head.
Three workmen who had taken
refuge under a bridge over the stream
into which the sewer empties were
horrif1ed when the boy came floating
from the outlet.
The body was identified by the boys
mother, Mrs. Dimmie Dillon, who had
asked police yesterday to make
search for her son. She claimed the
body and then tainted.
Officers to whom she reported the
disappearance of her son yesterday
said she expressed fear he had been
kidnapped. but said she gave no basis
for this belief
Police after examining the lads
body said he apparently was killed by
a degenerate. There were marks on
the hands that indicated the boy may
have been tortured before he was slain.
DR.. John E. Wyttenbach, deputy
coroner, said 1t appeared the lads
hands might have been burned with a
hot wire or thin poker.

DENIES FUND INSOLVENT,
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Harry B. Mitchell, president of the
Civil Service, today issued a state
ment pronouncing mot well founded"
the E. Claude Babcock charge that
the Federal employees retirement fund
Is completely insolvent"
Without mentioning Babcock by
name, Mitchell answered, point by
point, the address Babcock made in
New York yesterday to the third an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees.
Mitchell gave the July /, 1884, net
balance as 1851 ,64264, which he
said was clearly sufficient money In
the fund to pay current obligations.
He gave total receipts for the last
fiscal year as $60, ,258, ,809. 81; total dis
bursements as $47,656, ,6ss54; interest
earned by the fund that year. s1o,-
518,35879.
1T is true that Congress has not
been appropriating as much for this
fund annually as the Board of Ac-
tuarieS, which acts in an advisory
capacity in connection with the re-
tirement fund, thinks should be ap-
prcpriated," said Mitchell.
He said this board recommended an
annual payment of $31, ,414,814 for 68
years from 1880, whereas Congress ap-
propriated but $21 900 900 per annum.
Whether Congress will be willing
to appropriate as much as the actuaries
advise remains to be seen, but in any
event the employees are dealing with
the Government" said Mitchell.
1T is rather ridiculous to talk about
insolvency with a matter which the
Government has in charge"

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Munitions Investigation
of Senate Leading
to Impasse.
BY PAUL MALLON,

@HE trouble behind the senatorial
arms investigation Is that no
one knows what can be done
l. about it.
Back in the minds of sena-
torial Investigators is an unspoken
idea that they will recommend legis-
lation for stricter Federal regulation
of domestic arms traffic, If not out
right Government ownership and op-
Grafton, but they know even that will
not be satisfactory, and probably will
not be authorized by Congress.
The problem is international,
not domestic. Any step tOe take to
break up our end OF the arms SELL
ing racket mould only giUe the
British, Polish, French and other
rdcketeers a treer field in the busi-
ness. Embdrgoes against our man.
utdcturers Mould be grand, IDEAL
istic gestures. But they toould be
practical only IL other nations
mould tollow suit. No one Who
knoUs the subject is kidding him
self into belieuing that there is any
chance of other governments adopt
ing the ideas.
The European governments are so
closely tied up with their munitions
manufacturers that the two are in
distinguishable.

SOUTHEAST FIGHTS.
SLIGHT IN BUDGET.
Business Group Starts New
Campaign for $500, 900
Bridge Fund.

Failure Of District officials to in
clude in the 1885 budget estimates
a recommendation for an initial ap-
preparation of 100000 to start work
on the proposed new Pennsylvania
Avenue Bridge, led the Southeast
Business Mems Association to start a
new drive last night for projects out
lined in the civic improvement pro-
gram advanced by the group this
Summer.
r. B. English, vice president of the
group, declared the retired Engineer
Commissioner, Maj John C. Gotwals,
had promised the 100000 appropria-
ton would be included in the 1885
budget. Since it wasn't included,
English said, a new drive to secure
the appropriation must be started or
we'll never get anything DONE"
Will See Sultan.
Immediate plans of the business
men call for placing the improvement
program before Engineer Commission
er Daniel I. Sultan and mass meet
ing of every citizen and business man
in Southeast Washington. The date
of the mass meeting has been set ten
tatively for October l.
Clarence F. Donohue, president, ap-
pointed an improvement Committee
to speed action on their program. The
committee is headed by English and
includes Donohue, c. H. Jenkins, Louis
Frick, j. E. Shelton, John Holland,
P. C. McGrath, Alex j. Berlin and A.
H. Bacus.
Add to Program.
The association added another item
to its 18-point improvement program
when the members unanimously adopt
ed resolution urging the Public Util-
tiles Commission to recommend i'm
provement of the street car road bed
on Southeast Pennsylvania avenue
from Second street to Seventeenth
street.
The other major points in the pro-
gram include requests for the removal
of the garbage transfer plant from
New Jersey avenue and K streets
southeast and widening Of B street
southeast from Second to Fourth
street.
