2 ¥ RESEARCH GOVERNS . HIGHWAY PROBLEM Board Head Says Paving of Future Hinges on Lower Construction Costs. 2 The problem of improving 2,500,000 miles of unsurfaced highways in the ! United States now rests largely upon physical and chemical research, Charles M. Upham, director of the Highway Research Board, told that organization this morning, at the opening scssion of its seventh an- nual meeting. The board is a branch of the engi neering division of the National Re- search Council and is conducting sev- y experimental prejects on a na; ftional scale towards highway improve ment. Economy Big Featu In a comparatively few yve TUpham said. 500,000 miles of Ameri an highway have been fmproved, but this} has involved u vast expenditure of | money. “It is doubtless an excellent investment,” he said, “but when we consider the outstanding bonds of States and municipalities dssued finance this worl we must e that we cannot expect such »gress in the immediate future he only alternative. he said, ientific research to develop wa eaper and more efficient ro: building. This, he indicated, probably would be worked out in the univer- sities and it remained for engineers to take advantage of the principles as fast as they became known. One iine of attack, he said. is for chemists to devise a way to change the nature of | elay so that it will become suitable road-sur cing material. A great ex- tent of unimproved roads, he nointed out, are in clay country. To improve them necessitates bringing in expen- sive materials unless something can be added to the clay itself. Some progress already has been made in this line of research. he said. Materials Little Known, Mr. Upham’s address was a plea for closer co-operation between the re- search scientist, interested only in riving ‘at the truth without con- _ mideration of its practical uses, and the engineer who is interested only in res: Frank B. Jewett, director of the re- search laboratories of the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.. spoke on the method of procedure in indus- trial research. Everything must pro- ceed, he said, by exact experiment with due consideration of all the fac- tors involved “In road building, for example,” Mr. Jewett said, I have been impressed with the fact that very little is known about the materials used. It seems to be assumed that good workmanship will result in a good road, whereas success or failure may depend on me extremely small ingredient in the concrete which nobody knows any- thing about.” New Era Predicted. Mr. Jewett predicted a new era in highway construction when the ve- search chemist has analyzed the ma- terial used and found out what its re- | actions are to various conditions. ‘The address of welcome was deliv- ered by Dr. Vernon Kellogg of the National Research Council. T. R. Agg, dean of engineering of Jowa State College, presided. A. B. Fletcher of the Bureau of Public Roads and Sid- ney J. Williams, director of the Na- ! tional Safety Council, discussed the caused of highway accidents. On “the afternoon program (ihese speakers were scheduled: W. C.

This fwould leave Detroit, Cleveland and ‘Philadelphia as the outstanding con- ‘tenders for this national event.

Coombs said the total number of tags sold today would not exceed 6,000. Applicants for the first time are filling in their blanks themselves and other time-saving de- vices have been introduced to speed up distribution. Application blanks were sent to all police precinct stations last week, so that those desiring new tags coul i fill them out without the necessity of going to the District Buliding.

Like other tags assigned to Government officials and embassies, these are without letters. Dougher(y Gets One. Commissioner Dougherty again will have tag No. 1, and Commissioners | Taliaferro and Ladue received Nos. 2 and 3. To Chief Justice Taft has been assigned No. 50, the same that he has held for several years. Although the crowd of applicants is considerably smaller than in previous years, Mr. Coombs urged that all ap- plicants not delay in applying for their 1928 tags. He estimated that approxi- mately 6,000 will be distributed daily during the rush period. | The first tag was issued this morn- ing to Thomas Smith of 1310 Euclid street, who apeared at the District Building about 7 o'clock to wait for| distribution to start at 8:30.

Fields of Arlington | | County today formally filed with the | | clerk of the Circuit Court his answer | to charges of irregularities in the | sheriff contest in the November s election, as contalned in a court peti sizned by 17 county citizens, | | Fields was the successful candidate, The petitioners charged that the elec. tion was “illegal and undue” and |r‘a-I | quested the court to declare it “null and void.” Almost simultaneously with the | sherifi’s action four citizens, whose | names appeared on the petition to the | court, addressed a letter to Judge Samuel G. Brent, requesting that their names be removed from the document, claiming that they had been misin- formed of its full intent. They are: George B. McKeown, Mrs, George B. McKeown, J. Eustace Crux and L. W. King. Petition Contents Not Known. The letter to Judge Brent follows: name appears upon a paper pur- porting to contest the election of H. B. Fields as sheriff of Arlington County, Va., November 8, last. I re- spectfully request that my name be stricken from said paper for the fol- | lowing reasons: ‘I knew nothing of the contents of said paper when 1 signed it, and only learned of its contents through the Washington | papers. I have no knowledge, either | direct or indirect, of irregularities in | the election, and signed the said paper only when 1 was informed by | the person presenting it to me that | the object of the contest was mPr?l.\’ to obtain a_recount of the votes’” | | Sheriff 1ds' answer to the| | charges follows, in part: | “That the petition was not filed within 15 days after the election and does not show any grounds sufficient for invalidation of the election. “That the petition does not set forth any list of any voters improperly vot- ing, with the objections to each, which is required by statute. “That the petition fails to allege any | facts showing or tending to show that the elecction was fllegal, undue or that |any false returns were made, the al- | legations in each instance being that ‘petitioners are advised and therefore allege and charge. “That the allegation that Federal | employes served as judges of the elec- tion en if true, is not sufficient to invalidate the election. “That allegations that at Carne pre- cinct persons other than those quali- fied to vote were permitted to enter in said precinct and there to solicit votes. {even if true, would not invalidate any ballots cast thereat in the absence of the names of the persons alleged to be involved. That the same is true of the | allegation that votes were obtained by the use of money, and that the same objections are valid as to the. allega- tions that an official ballot was ob- tained and marked to be voted and illegally removed from the precinct to be handed to other voters in turn. “That the allegations to the effect that intoxicating liquors were used to influence votes are insufficient because they do not name the precinct re- ferred to and do not allege that the persons using the same were friends or adherents of the respondent. Names Not Supplied. “That the petition does not allege the names of supposed friends and ad- herents of this respondent who! Rre’| supposed to have paid to induce and ntluence voters, or the-paying of debts | due to the State for the same purpdse.’ “That the petitioners do not show | that the result of the election was in any way affected by the alleged con- gregation of crowds within less than 100 feet of the precinct, and even so the allegations do not constitute a violation of the corrupt practices act. “That the entire petition is insuf- ficient hecause It is too vague and gen- eral to put the respondent upon no- | tice of the facts charged against him, to enable him to produce evidence to rebut the vague and unspecific charges, and at most constitute allega- tions of rumors and of conclusions of law and fact heard by the partles to said petition without allegation of the { truth or belief in the truth of the ul- timate facts necessary to support the conclusions.” “Not Fifteen Signers.” Pointing to the fact that four sign- ers of the petition have requested their names to be removed, because of misinformation of the purpose of the document, the respondent denies that 15 qualified voters did sign the petition with knowledge of its con. tents, and asks that if this is true that the petition be dismissed on that ground. The respondent further denies that the provision of the code of Virginia governing elections has been violated by him or any of his friends or ad- herents or with his knowledge or con- sent. and that the election is null and void. With regard to the allegation that Federal employes served as judges of election, the respondent contends that | be was in no way. responsible for the appointment of them, and that he is advised that the fact of this service in no way invalidates the election. He points out that while E. W. Cush- ing, a Federal employe, was appointed as a judge in the Carne precinct. he did not serve in that capacity. Fields is represented by attorne; Harry R.

With 15 additional awards au- thorized for families in the tornado- stricken area of East Washington, Red Cross officials today were speed- ing up relief work in the hope of passing on all remaining cases by tomorrow night. Maj. Gen. George Barnett, chair- man of the District of Columbia chapter, reminded the public that contributions may be insufficient un- less liberal responses are forthcom- ing during the next two days. While a thorough canvass has been made in the devastated zones by Red Cross workers, Gen. Barnett felt that per- haps a number of -families ‘had not made their wants known. These were urged to communicate’ at once with the relief headquarters at the Hine Junior High School so that their cases might be given proper atten- tion The committee on awards has before it a considerable number of cases on which to pass before work can be concluded tomorrow evening.

The 15 awards passed upon last night involve a total of approximately $2.100. which dug deeply into the comparatively small amount thus far collected for relief work. Most of the very urgent cases have been left to the end in the hope that additional funds would be contributed. Whother the remaining sums required to carry on the work among families made destitute or otherwise burdened by the storm can be met out of the funds | at hand is doubtful, unless contribu- tions are received in larger amounts during the next few days.
