OTHERS OPPOSED
Representatives Of Mo-
tOring Public Organize
To Combat Move.

A delegation Of representative cit
liens of Sussex county told a joint
meeting of Sussex county members
(both Democratic and Republican,
that they oppose transfer of funds
from the Highway Department to
the General Fund as suggested by
Governor Buck. The meeting was
held in the Senate Committee room
last Thursday afternoon. Charles N.
Cullen, member Of the State High
way Commission and Engineer Hit
chens Of Sussex county were the
leading spOkesmen before the mem-
bers of the Legislature. AS result
OF the meeting q very strong oppo-
sition to the Governors plan to ball
ance the budget has been created.
The opponents of the transfer point
out the need of increased improved
highways in Sussex county. They
say that the program in New Castle
county is about completed; but that
in Kent and Sussex counties much
yet remains to be done. They also
say that should the 100000 be d.
verted to the General Fund the Fed
eral Government will not give $780,
900 to the State of Delaware for
road building purposes. Another arr
gument advanced by the opponents
of the Governors plan was the ne
cessity for unemployment in Sussex
county. The claim is made that
should road work stop direct relief
must be provided.

GETS
READY FOR TRIP
Winds Up Business With
Start to Warm Springs
Tomorrow Night.

President Roosevelt was busily en-
gagged today in winding up pending
business. preparatory to leaving Wash
ington tomorrow night for a three
week stay at Warm Springs, Ga.
The President gave considerable at
tention during the day to the budget
problem. He will take with him to
Warm Springs a great batch of papers
dealing with this subject, with the
hope of having the budget nearly COM
plete by the time he returns to Wash
ington, the second week in December.
The President has made it plain, how
ever, that he has no hope of having
the 1886 budget estimates in final form,
ready for presentation to Congress,
much in advance of the assembling of
Congress, early in January.
His principal budget conference to-
day was with Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau and Budget Director
Bell. He expects to confer with
other departmental heads before his
departure.
The President today had a luncheon
conference with the distinguished
group appointed by him last Winter
to conduct study of the best meth
ods for meeting the infantile paralysis
situation in this country.
Seventy per cent of the money made
by the Presidents birthday balls
throughout the country last Winter
was turned over to the local Infantile
Paralysis Committees to use for local
hospitals and research work. Similar
funds will be raised again by the
Presidents birthday balls this coming
January and the Research Committee
entertained by the President today is
studying the subject of how best to use
these monies advantageously.
Those attending this luncheon con-
ference were Edsel Ford, DR.. Donald
d. Armstrong, Mrs. Nicholas F. Brady,
John S. Burke, Col. Carl Byoir. Arthur
Carpenter, DR.. Paul Kruif. Henry L.
Doherty, Raymond B. Fosdick. Dr..

near her bedside in a hospital here
today after an all-night vigil, despite
doctors hopes for her recovery from
a fractured hip and heart attack.
Mrs. Roosevelt, the doctors said,
slept fitfully during the night. and
much of the time when not sleeping
retained consciousness.
Her son-in-law, Richard Derby,
chief surgeon of the North County
Community Hospital, where Mrs.
Roosevelt is a patient, said he ex-
pected she will recover If there is no
occurrence of the heart trouble.

and the photograph revealed that the
words were written in the Palmer
method, probably by a mechanic of
some sort-an electritian, automobile
mechanic or machine worker.
When questioned by reporters as to
how he arrived at these deductions,
Hicks referred them to Lieut.. Itzel.
"Itzel has that information" Hicks
declared. Itzel himself, however, was
frankly at loss to explain how Hicks
arrived at his conclusions.
Investigators have examined the
business accounts kept by Miss Loring
as to her clients as public stenog-
rapher without obtaining any new
leads to work on.
This phase of the investigation was
discussed, among other things, late
yesterday when Lieut.. Itzel went to
the headquarters of Washington
police for a conference with Lieut..
John Fowler, ballistics expert.
Autopsy Report Received.
Itzel emphasized today that the
medical report on the autopsy. reveal
inC that Miss Loring had been dead
"fou- or four and a half days before
her body was found" did not indicate
that the murdered girl had lain all
this time on Saddleback Ridge.
There were other details of the
report, however, which indicated this
probably was the case. In his five
page summary, released yesterday, DR..
Oscar Lavine of Mount Rainier stated
the body showed signs of partial de-
composition, particularly at parts
which had been exposed to the ground.
The report indicated clearly that the
body had been dragged by one arm
to the place where it was found.
A neighbor of the Lorings, who
was said to have seen Corinna talking
to an unidentified man last Spring
on her front porch and in an auto
mobile near her home, probably will
be questioned soon, although Itzel
was inclined to doubt if anything
definite could be developed from this
source.
