iy ST TRTINE LEE HIGHWAY WORK - WILL BEGIN SOON Reconstruction of Key Bridge- Cherrydale Link Planned by Commission. Br a Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va, March 12.—With | preliminary surveys virtually completed, reconstruction of the Lee Highway from the Key Bridge through Cherrydale will begin within a few weeks, weather per. mitting, according to Henry G. Shirley. | chairman of the State Highway Com- mission. The road will be widened to 28 feet and al dangerous curves will be straightened. The paving will be of concrete or asphait, Shirley said. ‘The new width will accommodate safely three lanes of traffic, sufficient to take care of the 8000 cars a day now congesting the narrow, torturous macadam approach to the bridge. Boulevard in Prospect. St expressed yegret that the highw commission had been palked in ite efforts to secure a 60-foot right of way for the new road. The commis- sion d hoped to obtain an 80-foot right of way, but this was impossible. The 60-foot strip, however, will en- able the State to make of the highway eventually a four-lane boulevard, in furtherance of plans already in the | mind of Chairman Shirley. Decision has been reached, after much study, to soive the congested “bottle- neck” problem in Cherrydale by split- ting the highway for 1,500 feet through this town, so that west-bound traffic will follow a one-way road around the People's State Bank and across the tracks of the Old Dominion Railroad. Although such a diversion of traffic will create two grade crossings—one near the bank at the east end of Cherrydale, and another near the little station at the foot of the hill to the west of town—Shirley declared there Was no other way to meet the situation. An original proposal to move the bank and the railway tracks out of the way of the road aroused such a storm of protest from property owners along | the railway that the plan had to be abandoned, Shirley explatned. Grade Crossings. “Residents along the north side of the tracks objected vigorously to any plan for moving the rails close to their front yards. They said they would pre- fer having the highway abutting their property than the railroad. We could have moved the bank without much difficulty had not the plan for moving the tracks been objectionable to the citizens.” Shirley expressed the opinion that the grade crossings would not be haz- ardous. as there is but little traffic over the railway. ‘The highway commission has $80,000 with which to tackle the project, Shir- ley said. While the State funds set aside for this undertaking do not be- come available until July, Shirley and Gov. Byrd have assured State Senator Frank L. Ball that a way has been found to begin actual construction with- out delay. One obstacle to final completion of the plans yet. remains to be overcome, Shirley disclosed. It is the problem pre- sented at Rosslyn, where the terminal tracks of the Old Dominion parallel the highway and cross over into the rear of the station. Some difficulty has been sxperienced in obtaining a 60-foot right- of-way through this section, he said, but it is expected that “developments now under way” will result in acquisi- tion of the necessary property. He re- fused to make public the nature of these developments, Lee Highway Problem. Shirley is deeply impressed with the urgency of the Lee Highway problem. He points out that a traffic count made by the bighway commisison showed that 8n average of 7954 vehicles used this road daily during 1927. The count was made near Park Lane. Of this daily averaze 3830 were Virginia passenger cars, 2,856 were “foreign” cars, 477 were heavy trucks and 782 were light com- R smiar e r count on the Richmond Weshington highway at & point near the Highway Bridge disclosed a daily | average during the past year of approxi- mately 11,000 vehicles, he added. e FLYERS TO TRY AGAIN.

Alexander P. Moore of Pittsburgh, ormer Ambassador to Spain, today was | appointed by President Coolidge to be Ambassador to Peru, succeeding Miles Poindexter, who has resigned to scek re-election to the Senate from Wash- ington. Mr. Moore's nomination was sent to the Senate today and, according to ad vices received by the White House, it will be confirmed. Little surprise was expressed in the appointment, inasmuch as it has been known for some weeks that the President had virtually made up his mind to send Mr. Moore to Peru. i Ambassador Moore is a native of Pennsylvania and at the time of his appointment to Madrid by President Harding was owner and publisher of the Pittsburgh Leader, which property he disposed of soon afterward. He re- tired from his post in Madrid two years ago and recently acquired ownership of two tabloid newspapers, the Mirror in - THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0, PRESIDENT NAMES MOORE AS AMBASSADOR TO PERU | Former Diplomat at Madrid; I ANDER P.

AL FOR SILENCE (Continued_from First Page.) ketable and he easily could have dis- posed of them for cash on the market. ‘When Mr. Hays calied on Mr. Mellon and explained the transaction, the lat- ter returned the bonds to Mr, Hays and made a cash contribution of $50,000. “When before the committee recently the former chairman of the Republican campaign committee testified that $60,- 000 of the bonds were sent to Mr. Upham, $75.000 to Senator duPont, and $25,000 to the late John W. Weeks, Sec- retary of War in President Harding's cabinet. Why did Mr. Hays then make no mention of having sent bonds to either Mr. Mellon or to ‘Butler'> Who | is the Butler referred to in the memo- | randum in the testimony of Mr Hom- mel, on which appeared the names of Weeks, Andy, Butler and duPont? When will Mr. Hays divulge the whole story? Will he contradict or corroborate the testimony of Secretary Mellon? How | can_he restore himselef in the public confidence and respect or relieve the partly he represents from the odium of having sold itself to the despotlers of the Nation? “The letter published in today's papers addressed by the Senator from Idaho, Mr. Borah, to former Senator mittee, suggesting that the contribu- tions of Mr. Sinclair be refunded to him, if complied with, might be helpful to the party politically, but it could not repair the wrong done to the public in accepting funds from such a source and under such conditions. An election carried on by such influences may well be expected to reflect such administra- tive policies as actually prevailed fol- lowing that election—policies that have only partially and reluctantly reformed.” Osler Account Found. Chairman Nye disclosed today that investigators for the committee had found in the records of the New York agency of the Dominion Bank of! Canada an account of H. 8. Osler, presi- showing transactions in Liberty bonds totaling $4,749,000 from July, 1921, to the end of 1923, It was stated that this account was tinental Trading Co., which totaled by_the Dominion Bank agency. There also was a “security ledger” in | the name of Osler, Chairman Nye said, showing that C. H. Pforzheimer & Co., New York brokers, bought 3,800 shares of stock of the Standard Oil Co. of In- diana for Osler's account. This trans- action took place July 16, 1921, four months before the Continental Trad- ing Co. was organized. Borah Opens Debate. Senator Borah's suggestion that the | Sinclair contribution be refunded, on | the ground that it was tainted with corruption, was the subject of wide dis- cussicn todi Chairman Nye said he thought Sen- ator Borah's “point well takei He added, however, that he believed it would be difficult to single out the con- tribution of one man, or one large con- tribution, to the campaign funds of “any party” for such treatment, Republican leaders at the Capitol expressed the opinion that the Senate committee investigation should be com- pleted and & report drafted before the Republican party undertook to return the Sinclair contribution. They want all the facts, they said, before giving final opinion in the matter. If & movement is initiated to return | the Sinclalr contribution, as s party | matter, then in the opinion of some | Republicans, it must be initiated by the Republican national committee, speak- ing for the entire party. Chairman Butler, it was suggested, should call a meeting of the committee to consider the matter. ‘The progressive group in the Republi- eges in Counter Action, DETROIT, March 12 (@)—Horace | .

Denies Receiving Bonds. The former is expected to be asked to repeat under oath information con- tained in a telegram he sent last night to Senator Waish, Democrat, Montana, committee prosecutor, in which he denied ever Teceiving any bonds or con- tributions from Hays or Sinclair. Since his telegram did not cover the point, Butler probably will be asked whether s ever offered any bonds to him. “I never received any bonds or any contributions from Will H. Hays or Mr. Sinclair,” Butler’s telegram said, “and I have no records of memorandum under my control relating thereto, or roncemm\; contributions to the Repub- lican national committee during 1922 and 1923. I have never met Mr. Sin- clair and do not know him." Hays, who has testified that he per- sonally solicited the money from Sin- clair in 1923 to help extinguish the party deficit hanging over from the 1920 campaign, will be asked to explain why on his two previous appearances before the committee he did not make a fuller statement as to the disposition of the $260,000 Sinclair Liberty bonds, belleved to have been a part of the Continental Oll deal profits, Omits Mellon Share. On those two occasions, the first in 1924 and the last 10 days ago, the former Postmaster General and Re- publican chairman failed to say that he had passed 850,000 of the bonds miong to Secretary Mellon. The latter, in a letter to Walsh Saturday night, disclosed this for the first time, de- claring the bonds were received, but returned to Hays. Mellon said he aft- erward made a contribution of a like smount to the party from his own funds, The names of Butler and Mellon were brought into the ofl inquiry as a result of a cryptic memorandum, in the handwriting of the late John T. Pratt of New York, who was a heavy coi tributor to Republican campaign chests, and having to do with the Continental bond transaction and & donation to the party funds. At the bottom of the memorandum, read into the record Saturday, appeared the names of Fred W. Upham, Weeks, Andy, Butler and Dupont. Belleving the “Andy” referred to Secretary Mel- lon, the committee had the testimony scnt immediately to him, and his letter followed. Butler to Appear. The word “Butler” also was taken to mean Willlam M. Butler, and a tele- gram was sent to him requesting his | appearance tomorrow. His telegram denying he had recefved any bonds from Hays or Sinclair added that he would be on hand then. While there is no evidence that the former Massachusetts Benator did recelve any of the Binclair securites, the committee has established that all | of the other men whose names appeared on the Pratt memorandum did have some knowledge of them, WOMAN FOUND VICTIM OF GAS IN HOME Refute Suicide Verdict Given for Mrs. Lucille Christian, ‘Wife of Colonel, Mrs, Lucllle Christian, 49 years old, wife of Col.

A voice of confidence in the hon- esty and faithfulness of Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, target of the attack by Representative Blan- ton, Democrat, of Texas, was adopted today by the public order committee of the Washington Board of Trade, at 1ts session at the Raleigh Hotel. The committee also unanimously voted indorsement of the policeman and fireman salary increase bill, as amend- ed by Representative Zihiman, chair- man of the House District committee, which would appropriate about $800.- 000 additional pay for the firemen and policemen, the increase being from $300 to $500 for various grades. Text of Resolution. After a brief discussion of the charges against Maj. Hesse, the public order group of the board, acting on recom- mendation by a special subcommittee headed by Rufus Pearson, adopted the following resolution: “Resolved, That this committee has full and complete confidence in the honesty and faithfulness of our super- intendent of police, Maj. Edwin B. Hesse.” A number of members of the committee spoke in favor of the reso- lution, expressing full confidence in the efforts of Maj. Hesse and his depart- ment to enforce the prohibition laws, and_none spoke in opposition to the resolution. Supporting the resolution, F. A. Car- ter, member of the subcommittee whis investigated the charges against Ma). Hesse, characterized the police super- intendent as being a “victim of circum- stances” and declared that Maj. Hesse had not been provided with proper fa- cllities for the most effective enforce- ment of prohibition, Matthew O'Brien, member of the committee, speaking in favor of the Hesse resolution, criticized members of Congress who freely prefer charges against public officials, declaring that every man charged with any offense has the right to a presumption of in- nocence until proved, by undeniable evidence, that he is guiity. Charges based on rumor, gossip and hearsay evidence, he said, are manifestly unjust to the man accused. He asserted that congressional Investigations that are not based on evidence that would stand in court are “unfalr and unscrupulously unjust.” In presenting the motion providing indorsement of the salary increase for the firemen and policemen, Mr. Pearson sald an investigation showed that these publie servants of the National Capital are patd less than the average in the 25 citles of the United States having a population of 300,000 or more. dell 8.

With all of its 150 passengers safely ashore and all but two of its crew off, the ship was firmly on the dangerous Mary Ann Rocks today ,while the per- sonnel of tugs sent by a wrecking com- pany made plans for attempted salvage. The Eastern Steamship Co., owner, announced it would attempt to repair the vessel and pull it off at high tide. In his first statement since, the acci- dent, Capt. Robinson declared he was on the bridge and had not seen the flares which the Manomet Coast Guard Station sent up a short time before, when the vessel was seen to be in peril. “We were going at full speed when suddenly we struck a rock,” he said. “We cleared it but gjruck four more in rapid succession and we started to ship water on our starboard side. By that time we were firmly on the rocks. “Undoubtedly the accident was caused by a faulty compass, due to severe weather conditions and the snow inside the piiot house.” Capt. Robinson came here today from Boston to remain at the scene of the mishap. At the Jordan Hospital two of the lifeboat crew from the Manomet sta- tion, who were thrown into the water when the boat capsized, were reported to be recovering. The body of Walter Griswold, one of three who perished, had not been found, although search Wwas continued today.
