L ] z e MT.VERNON ROAD MEASURE SIGNED Coolidge Approves Bill Appro-:’ priating $4,500,000 for Washington Boulevard. ! The building of & magnificent high- way as a memorial to George Wash- , connecting the Arlington Me- morial Bridge with Mount Vernon, be- | came an assured fact today when Pres- ident Coolidge signed the Swanson- Moore bill authorizing & maximum ex- penditure of $4,500,000 for this road.

River Reute Favored. Although no definite route has been . decided upon, it is generally understood that the one most favored is the so- called river route. This would run close to the Potomac River for the greater part of the way. The sponsors of this bill are hopeful that a companion highway will be con- structed on the Maryland side of the 1 Potomac. which will afford tourists an opportunity to journey to Mount Ver- non on one side of the river. then cross by ferry and return to Washington on | the other side. | President Coolidge is still busily en-; gaged in studying the daily batch of | bills which are being brought to the ‘White House from the Capitol for his signature. Prominent among the other bills which the President signed in the last 12 hours is the joint resolution providing for the participation of the United States in the celebration in 1029 and 1930 of the 150th anniversary of the conquest of the old Northwest Territory by Gen. George Rogers Clark and his patriotic followers, and author- izing an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the construction of & permanent me- | morial of the Revolutionary War in the West, and of the accession of the old Northwest Territory to the United Thomas Barnett, 78 years old, views| with dismay the spot under an old lron, kettle, where he had secreted $17,000 in cash.

P. DELEGATES IN'SOUTH DISPUTED Half Dozen States to Have Contests Before National Committee. By the Assoclated Press. | Rival Republican factions in more than half a dozen Southern States intend to carry their fight for recogni- | tion and supremacy to [Xansas City. | As is usually the case when there is a fight on for the party's nomination, ia good sized crop of contests for dele- gates’ seats has developed, Already the Republican national committee has been notified that the credentials of 41 (of the 1,089 delegates will be in dis- pute, and there are indications that before the convention 28 more will be challenged. | The time for notifying the committee |of contests expired last midnight, but States and territories making late selec- tions have a few days grace Texas’ 26 Involved. Of the contests already filed, the { entire delegations from two States— Louisiana and Mississippl—are in the disputed column, with 12 convention votes at stake from each State. Others | involve nine seats from Florida, three from Georgla, two each from Kentucky |and the District of Columbla, and one | from Tennessee. | _1n the group still to be filed are the | 26 delegate votes from Texas—all the | Btate has—and the two from Porto Rico. Contests involving the four delegates at large from South Carolina and two from the third Tennesse district were filed, but differences have been patched up and it is not expected that they will be pressed. The two in Louisiana is between Emile Kuntz, ublican national com- mitteeman, head of one faction, and Walter L. Cohen, negro controller of customs at New Orleans, leader of & {rival group. Kuntz is listed in the ;sloovcr camp, while Cohen favors Low- | den. | In Mississippl, Perry W. Howard, colored, is see! to retain control of the Republican te organization in the face of “lily white” opposition, led by Former Gov. Sheldon of Nebraska, who is now a wuiw&pl &hnur.

Skipper, a Hoover supporter. The contests in Georgia involve the representation from the first, fifth and seventh districts and center around leadership aspirations. In the first Kentucky district three factions are seeking ition, one of them pledged to Hoover and one of the others leaning toward Lowden, while in the tenth Tennessee, rivals of “Bob" Church, colored, blican leader in Memphis, are after his ulg. In the District of Columbia one delegation is uninstructed, while the contesti :'rlmixp has listed Lowden as its firs choice. Challenge Is Withdrawn.
