B. Hunt, engineer of highways, told e Commissioners fn his annual re- Tt today. ! For the past two years Congress has dppropriated a lump sum of $250,000 for suburban roads, which has only permitted the engineer department to Jfep repairing the macadal surfaces ow on most of these outlying thor- ‘dughfares.

In this procedure the worn-out concrete surface becomes the foundation for w_asphalt. p O I Underatood to be the intention of the engineer department in future o pave as many new streets as pos- sidle with concrete, so that nfter the concrete has lived its normal period of years it can be left on the Sireet as the.base for an asphalt sarface. Sams Up Operations. Summing up_street operations for the vear, Mr. Hunt's report states: “The cost of work showed but slight { derson recessions, Toward the end of the vear the tendency was rather markedly downward, but the gratr potion of th downward, but the greater portion of mitted to contract obligations at prices_ little better than the recent past. Labor morale was continuously improved and difficulty in securing construction material practically dis- appeared. Notable items of street im- provement were the paving of Nichols avenue from Sheridan road to the southern entrance to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital;: New Hampshire avenue from I street to 27th street; Louisiana avenue from 10th street to Pennsylva- rfa- avenue, and the east roadway of Comnectieut avénue from Chapel road to” the District line. The resurfacing with bitaminous macadam of Bladens- burg road from near M street to the District line, at a cost of $55886.27, and of Alabama avenue, Pennsylvania avenue to Ridge road, and Bowen road, Ridge road to the District line, at cost of $21,676.20, was done by day labor after efforts to secure bids for the work within the funds ap- propriated had failed.” L.

Marmet, near Charleston, into ‘Boone county, on their way to Mingo county, were silent today as to their plans. i Gov. Morgun, who remaliied in his {office until a Iate hour Jast night, was {back again this morning conferring cith members of his cabinet. He sent ord to wafting correspondents that {he had no statement to make at this { time, but might have something to say ibefore nightfall. There was nothimg { tc inaicate that he had ssked for fed- eral troops. At _the offices of the state police, Col. Jackson Arnold, in command, re- fased all information. Killing Uneonfirmed. Reports reaching Charleston from {points along the highway traversed by the marching men were to the ef. fect that they moved briskly and with- out disorder. Stories received here {later in the day that there had been indiscriminate shooting, and a number {of the marchers had been killed dur- {ing the night, were widely circulated, and created some excitement, but were not substantiated from any authorita- {tive source. In a telephone conversa- | tioh a merchant at Racine said he had {talked with 2 number of the men {when they arrived there, and none of them had heard of any casualties.

The Canton govérnment of China, through its foreign minister, Wu Ting Fang, has asked its representa- tive in Washington, Ma Soo, to “in- sist upon direct invitation” to the Canton authorities to participate in the coming Washington conference on far ecastern affairs. The Peking gov- ernment, which alone has been recognized by the United States and which has been invited to partici- pate in the conference, the foreign minister's request declares, “is too ccmmitted to Japan to make a strong Cablegram From Mr. Wu.

By the Associated Prese. CHICAGO, August 25.—Federal of- ficlals today announced that the op- erations of Charles W. French and John W. Worthington, under arrest in connection with dozens of swin- aling schemes and matl robberles probably will involve $50,000,000. The number of concerns either victimized or working with the alleged band ot swindTers way today placed at thirty- two. These announcements followed a day finidhing with astonishing dis- closures, exposures and confessions, seizure of $9,050,000 in securities, dis- covery of the hiding place of $10,- 000,000 more in signed promissory notes and the ralding of a bank de- posit vault where invaluable evidence was found: Startiing Disclowtres. The revelations included details of the growth of the American Rubber Company of Chicago from a gmall Taincoat factory to a concern worth on paper one million dollars, an at- tempt to victimize the residents of Centralia, i1, by this company; plans for coal mines, near Carroll, 111, un- dertaking plants, at Lorain, Ohio, and Various other financial and business schemes.

He stated that an option had been secured by promi- nent Milwaukee bankers for the con- trol of both institutions.

It was sug- gested that Netwv Yo or Chicago would be the logical center to finance a loan of this magnitude. “Nothing farther has been heard from Mr. Leet.

In each instance many questions were asked, but it was said there was little show of hostility on the part of any commitieemen.

By the Assoclated Press. HULL, August 25.—Among those on board the ZR-2, when she was de- stroyed, were the designer of the air- ship, Supt. Warren of the works where she was built, and Flight Ofi- cers Wicks and Matheson. ZR-2 closely resembled her sister ship, the R-34, which sailed across the Atlantic in July, 1919, although she was forty-one feet longer and seven feet greater in diameter than the R-34. Her gasoline capacity also was greater than that of her sister ship and she had a cruising radius | of 6,000 miles, in contrast with 4,900 miles credited to the R-34. It had been estimated that the ZR-2 would be able to cross the 3,200 miles to the Amerlcan continent in fromi SEES §24,000,000 RISE IN STEEL BILL J. A.

Speaking on behalf of a delegation representing_independent steel com- ies, Mr. Topping asserted that the Steel industry must look to abroad markets to keep its plants going and aid the expansion could be accom- piished only through low production costs. He told the committee thet there was an exportable surplus of 20 per cent of the output, adding that if rates on the alloys were reduced. providing cheaper raw materials, the industry would be able to maintain three to four days, whereas the R-34 had occupied mearly five days in her voyage Had Special Phone System.

Call Schedule Satisfactory. Mr. Topping said he was disposed to regard the Fordney measure as a revenue tariff, and not as a protective law, insofar as the steel industry was concerned. Steel makers felt, how- ever, he added, that they could ac- | cept’ the steel schedule with slight ichanges in the rates on raw mate rials because it was tied up with the sessing duties.

The discussion turned suddenly to conditions in the steel and other In- dustries and brought from Mr. Top- ping the statement that the depres- sion now is the worst in his expe- rience of nearly forty years in the steel industry.

Asked as to production costs, Mr. “The most unusual thing about the entire trip was the extreme violence of the ‘bumps’ in regions where they were totally unexpected. 1 consider it almost a miracle that we completed the trip successfuilly after what we went through. The weather situa- tion on the Atlantic must be invest gated thoroughly before air travel be- | tween Enpland and America can be made safe and practicable. With the limited information we have now, transatlantic travel is highly danger- ous.” In the construction of the ZR-2 it was thought that many of the serious defects of the smaller ship had been remedied. In flight the ZR-2 was operated as far as possible along the lines of a sca-going vessel. The ship's alti- tude capacity was 25.000 feet. The crew of the ZR-2- selected to bring her across the Atlantic to the United States included fourteen of- ficers, ten rigwers, sixteen mechanics and two radio men.
