Washington, June 27.?President Harding's signature was all that was required tonight for authorizing the appropriation of $7,600,000 for new work on the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals. , The army bill containing authority of congress to spend the mnnpv nr? fKnf nrn ionf nffnnf!?Tn ? ^ V - w*?MV |/I VJCVVJ CIICVCIVC W" tober 1, next, was passed today by the senate without a change in the language already approved by the house and by conferees of the two legislative bodies. During final senate consideration, however, the measure at certain stages was threatened with being sent back to the house for further conference, Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the agriculture committee, moving that the senate disagree with the house provision delaying expenditure of the money until October. He was finally overruled by a vote of 28 to 32. The Nebraska senator led the aty tack on the house amendment and was joined by Senator Wadsworth of New York, chairman of the military committee in charge of the bill, and by Senator Underwood of Alabama, Democratic leader, in declaring the house action "unfortunate.' The latter two senators, however, differed with Senator Norris on his motion to disagree, declaring that, if it prevailed, the bill would be returned to the house and the appropriation probably would be jeopardized in this procedure. Others, including Senator Glass (Democrat) of Virginia, Heflin (Dem-ocrat) of Alabama and Smith (Democrat) of South Carolina, supported Senator Underwood in reu >i? i questing concurrence in tne nouse amendment in order to make the appropriation certain. Senator Underlie wood recalled past, occurrences where differences between the senate "and house had resulted {disastrously to Muscle Shoals appropriations and re minded his colleagues that the army bill has to be on the statute books by July 1, and that they had no time to lose in adjusting diffeffrenced in language, however unfortunate they might appear to the senate. The first executive meeting of the agriculture committee since it concluded its examination of proposals from Henry Ford, the Alubama Power Company, Fredeiick Engstrum and Charles L. Parsons for developing the shoals properties also was held today. Senator Norris was understood to have informed the committee that he would submit a report to the senate although he was alone among the members with reference to their opinions of offers considered. Killing Boll Weevils The following letters from O. B Hollis, an extensive planter at Cross Keys, will be read with interest by ^ the fanners of Union county. Mr. Hollis tells his methods of poisoning the weevils and gives actual .experience. Cross Keys, S. C., June 26, 1922. Dear Mr. Editor: Will you please publish my exper. ience poisoning the boll weevil that it may help some one else, who doubts as I did before trying, that it can be done and economically at that. I have ben reading Mr. David R Coker's articles in The State on poisoning them and tried his exact meth1 Ka /iiilniuiYi nvcnnntn r\rw: vu vrrvi iMo, vauiuni v,,,v half gallon warm water, one gallon molasses. I first tried applying 11 with a quart bottle with a slot cut in the stopper but found this too slow. 1 then tried a mop on a stick and found this entirely satisfactory as you can reach the bud more easily. One man can cover about two acres per da> at a cost of about 20 cents per acre by this method if the cotton is not toe large. I think the best time to poison is before any squares form, as you can catch him in the bud then 1 found that practically every square formed was already punctured. 1 caught four weevils and placed then on a stalk already poisoned about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the nexl morning all four were dead under the stalk. This was proof enough for me that it is worth trying. Thanking you for this space. O. B. llollis. Deputy Marshal Suicides Lynchburg, Vs., June 28.?IS.

La.. - | APPROPRIATION IRK ON WILSON DAM r i Two Persons Dead And Several Injured When Train Jumps Track Lincoln, Neb., June 28.?Two per' sons may die and several are said to have been injured when the Chicago Flier, Rock Island train went into a ditch today at Alvo. The engineer nnd fireman were probably fatally injured. Tax on Gasoline Brings in Money A total of $72,278.62 was collected from the gasoline tax in May, according to figures announced by the tax commission yesterday. This total with the collections for March and April brings the grand total ti date to $214,000, in round numbers. In March the tax collected was $68,000, approximately, and in April approximately $74,000. Under the terms of the act one-half of the amount goes to the general fund of the state and the other half to the counties to be used exclusively for road building purposes. This part to the county is to be distributed quarterly and in the same ratio to the total amount distributed as the amount to be assessed value of prop erty in the county bears to the total amount of the assessed value of the property in the entire state.?The State. If a Neighbor Has a Still The traveling salesman on the train declared that he was a firm prohibitionist, but told of having failed to live up to his convictions in the matter of reporting illicit distilling to the police. "I know, as a good citizen, I should inform against bootleggers," he admitted, "but I'm just plain yellow." Rev. A. Z. Conrad of Boston recentiy discussed the same point which disturbed the conscience of the Nebras. kan, and while he did not say outright what he would do if a neighbor should engage in the illicit enterprise, he an*. swered the question from a theoretical standpoint. "Is it honorable to act as an informer if you know a neighbor is operating a still?" he asked in his Sunday night sermon. Perhaps not an honor, but certainly a duty, was his conclusion. "You can not leave it to a policeman," said Dr. Conrad, "when a man is committing murder. You must interfere at once. And when the constitution is being violated, you must tell the proper authorities." The Nebraska traveling man took exactly this position And yet h> confessed that he could not bring himself to practice it. Partly perhaps r.. was of a dislike of notoriety, fear of revenge, or being misrepresented 1.1 his motives or seeming to vent a grudge. Why not hear from the police reporter on this ? Do many citizens turn in information about cases that come under their observation? Do most of the tips come from nameless sources, 1 through anonymous telephone calls or letters??Editorial, Omaha (Neb.; Bee.

The new legislation reduces the maximum participation on the part of the government from $20,000 to $16,250 per mile for roads ^ constructed with the appropriation for the next fiscal year and $15,000 | per mile thereafter. Bridges over 20 feet in span may be considered as separate projects to which this limi- j tat ion does not apply. In stales where more than 5 per cent of the area is unappropriated public land provision is made for an increase in the amount | per mile. The act also provides for the extension of federal aid to thei , construction of structures required ' for the elimination of railroad grade ' crossings. Important provisions of previous acts under which large funds have , been successfully administered are ( applicable to the new funds. States must maintain adequate highway departments. Funds to match federal ( aid must be placed under the direct control of the state highway depart- ; ment. The type of surface construced must be adequate for the traffic anticipated, with reasonable grades curves and other features. States must obligate themselves to maintain all federal aid roads constructed, and in case this is not done any federal funds available for new projects may be withheld until they are put into satisfactory condition. AH federal aid funds must be spent on a connected system of roaOds consisting of not more than 7 per cent of the total mileage in each state and divided into primary or interstate roads and secondary or intercounty roads.?The I State.

' | > s & ' Washington, June* 2 '. -?Assurances | Multiplied today that t u attempts of | he administration to Mrfng about a ettlemen of the bitpfelnous coal j trike have neither be^flr dropped nor . ibated. From the WhiJ# House came I i vord that President iffardintr f?l* < liffkult and delicate l^gotiations to i ie necessary before thd spokesmen of ( he striking miners ana'the represen- i atives of the mine owvters could be i rotten together for a wage agree i nent and resumption <(<f work. Furher, there were intimations that gov- < irnment intervention, it?ow confined < 0 persuasion and perstmsion, migh^ ? n some way become pointed and for- | ible should the public safety and i welfare demand early settlement and j he present means prove futile in j 'ringing it about. Meanwhile, John L. Lewis, presi- < lent of the United Mine Workers of | Vmerica, remained in Washington, alhough there was no definite intima \ ion that his prolonged stay, after lis Monday meeting with the presiient, was at official suggestion. His ( iresence might be needed again, iT. < vas pointed out, if the government l spokesmen, who are also in touch t vith mine operators, shdfild develop a 1 uggestion for his further considera- ] ion. ' 1 There were intimations that offi- i ials were considering a plan to bring | 1 few representative .operators together with Mr. Lewis and other reiponsible leaders of the miners' union < or the purpose of discussing infornally prospects for hdkling a confer- ( >nce authorized to make a wage , igreemeat. In alk ? vas flatly declared that the governnent would not announce in advance idoption of any plan for dealing with he strike, but that some action might )e expected. As yet there Has been 1 10 declaration either in headquarters >r from Mr. Lewis for th^p mine vorkers that the original differences i vhich precipitated a strike last April >efore any attempt at an agreement , vas made have been overcome. The niners seek a national or semi-naional wage scale. Operators have n most districts indicated complete villingness to negotiate with the inion to fix a wage scale for separate erritories, but to date have generdly refused to countenance further mtional agreements. Latest estimates in the possession if the government indicate there are itill approximately 000,000 miners on strike, about 91,000 of this number >eing non-union men. On July 1, it was stated today bv iftvornmcnt riflfw'inls whn hnvn fnl . owed the strike, the surplus coal supply will be at danger point. Already , they said, the anthracite surplus supply is exhausted and within x week it is probable that the bitumnous supply will be around 10,000,)00 tons, which, in the opinion of government experts, represents a ; it i i<j til Miuauuu. That the railroads of the country ire represented as having a surplus supply of at least 10,000,000 tons ioes not relieve the general situation, it was said, as the consuming public ind the great industries can not be taken care of by the railroads no matter what supply of coal may be in their possession.

June 27.?Investigation by efltTfity officials of the alleged attach of striking miners on an automobile carrying workers to ihe mine of the Union Coal Stripping company near Laflferty, today, in which John H. Major, 40, was shot to ieath and his nephew, Clyde Major, and Clark Story, all of hendrysburg, were wounded, so far has failed to iisclose names of any of the attacking party. Sheriff R. T, Lynch and Coroner C. C. Hardesty, who spent several hours at the scene of the :rime, reported ignorance was professed by persons in the vicinity regarding the incident. Majors, a farmer and former deputy sheriff, had been operating a steam shovel at the mine. This morning, it was said, he was warned by an official of the United Mine Workers lot to ge near the mine, but was juoted as saying he had $2,000 inzested in the company and was interested in seeing operations continue. The three men were near the mine ivhen they were halted by a crowd if men, said to have numbered about ?00. They were ordered to turn sack and did so, according to information received by the coroner, but is they turned, firing started. Major was shot through the back. When county officers arrived the crowd had dispersed nad Major s sody was found lying in the machine. A revolver which had not been fired was found in his pocket. Herrin, 111., June 27 (By the Associated Prses).?Herrin, its men and ivomen and its babes in arms, tonight held a carnival across the street from the hospital where the wounded strike breakers of Thursday's massacre lay recovering?one or two dying from their wounds. I^aughter and jokes floated across the summer night; paper caps adorned the heads of the gay throng and last week's "incidfent" was forgotten in the gladness of social intercourse. The occasion was the installment of a local chapter of an international club. It began with a parade and ?"ban<L hl*rtagr dance music fj-om. o truck. The mayor was there, and the chief of police and all the local dignitaries. "Just trying to forget last week's unfortunate event," it was explained. Mayor A. T. Pace, and Mr. Hughes, sub-district vice president, received telegrams this morning asKing whether they would guarantee safe conduct to the 12 wounded non-union men still in the hospital there. Both replied that the survivors would be guaranteed protection and escorted out of the county when they are ready to leave. Chicago, June 27.?Troops still are needed in Williamson county to protect the wounded men shot down and beaten in the mine strike at Herrin, in belief of attorney General Ed ward (J. Blindage, expressed here today. "The wounded men lying in the hospital at Herrin are the principal witnesses on which prosecution of those responsible for the rioting last Thursday must depend," in the opinion of the attorney general. "The only thing to do is to send troops there to protect those wounded men," he attorney general said. "I am not a peace officer and can not do it. But those men should he protected."

A strike of the 400,000 railway shopmen of the country will be called for July 1 unless the railroads au;re to stay the $00,000,000 wage cut due the shopworkers on that [late and to restore certain working conditions formerly in effect, it was made known tonight through a telegram from B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, to the Association of Railway Executives. Iluolclnn ....II .. j-f \ V I.'twu IV/ vail <? r>n i rvv i aim 1UIC today after a lengthy discussion by the executive committee of the six shop crafts based on the strike vote of hte men thus far tabulated. Should the rail heads arrange an immediate conference, agreeing meanwhile to continue present wages, restore working rules modified by the railroad labor board and discontinue farming out railroad work, however, a walkout can be halted, the telegram said. Otherwise "a sanction of withdrawl from employment on July 1, 11)22, as voted by the employees, will be unavoidable." The 2,500 word telegram addressed to T. DeWitt Cuyter, chairman of the \sso? iation of Railway Executives, ihiew no light on the actual strike vote beyond saying it was an "overwhelming majority." Ballots were still coming in, it was said, as they were returnable until June 30. A two-thirds majority is required by the union by-laws to call a strike. Although the actual call for thi walkout was made dependent on the railway executives' reply to President Jewell's ultimatum, little expectation was expressed in railroad circles tonigtit that the executives would agree to such sweeping demands as those made by the unions. Six international union presidents, forming the executive council of the n.e hanical section, railway employees department of the American Federation of I-abor, were responsible for the strike decision. Closeted for two days in secret session, they remained silent on their actions until tonight. Declaring that the railroads have acted on a con mon program to reduce wages and ?btain other advantages to the carriers, President Jew ell's message pointed out "one benefit may come to the carriers and their employees and to the general public from the fact that there are nation al spokesmen ot the connicting interests who might be able to halt a nation -wide withdrawal of men from inploynient in the railway service if i lie railroad executives sincerely tiesired to avoid this consequence of their previous course of action."
