RASKOB QUITS RAILROADS
By Unite presu, '
NEW YORK, Aug. 9,—John
J. Raskob, chairman of the na-
tional Democratic committee, has
resigned from the executive com-
mitte of the Missouri Pacific
and as one of th# members of
the special committee appointed
to work out a probable dividend
policy, the Dow-Jones Financial
Newa Agency said today. Dow-
Jones said Raskob also had re-
planning of the program which
Wednesday was givn official ap-
proval.
Appointment of a supervising
engineer will be made by the Com-
missioners' Court this month, it fa
believed.
All the state highway projects
outlined in the bond issue will be
started during the first year. Com-
missioners Court and ths Associa-
tion -of Commerce highway com-
mittee, meeting jointly, decided,
on the recommendation of Davis.
It had been anticipated that five
major roads would be provided for
the first year and that the others
would follow the second year, and
the 14 county bridges after that.
The following roads, all state
highways, will be started in 1929;
Jacksboro, Dallas Pike, Burleson,
Camp Bowie, Grapevine Cardinal,
Keller, Mansfield, and probably
the Benbrook Cardinal.
14 "Local" Bridges.
If any bridges are built, the
Stove Foundry Road bridge will
be given preference, as most im-
portant, Davis indicated.
All bridges on the state high-
ways will be built aa the roads
are constructed. But there are
14 "local" bridges, not on stat#
highway, for which 1497,000 of
the bond issue is provided.
Grading, drainage etructuree,
and bridgea will be cared for on
these projects the first year.
With the exception of two, the'
bases will be allowed to settle
sufficiently before any surfacing
work is done.
On the Dallas Pike widening
project, there already is an ade-
quate shoulder to carry the extra
paving, Davis pointed out, mak-
ing it possible to complete that
work during the year.
Base on the Camp Bowie exten-
sion is sufficient to karry nurfao-

A marine patrol of 48 men, in
command of Captain M. A. Edon
ot Burlington, Vt., had been pro-
ceeding in boats . up the Coco
River. About 60 miles above Bo-
kay the marines encountered the
rebel group and a fierce engage-
ment occurred.
The engagement was said to
have lasted for several hours, aft-
er which the rebels disappeared,
following the river. Captain Ed-
son, after Ordering his wounded
men taken to" Puerto Cabezas for
treatment, Immediately started an
airplane flight in search ot' the

FLAPPER FA^NY SAYS:
There are seven ages of
man, and two of women. One
is her right r^- ' ye
who lived to walk to her home
after she had become a flaming
torch In a grove 300 yards away,
is believed by County Attorney
Albert Thomas to have been the
accidental result of a temporarily
deranged mind.
It was at first thought that
Miss Spencer had been the victim
of s fiend, but Thomas abandoned
this theory after an investigation.
Ths girl died two and a half
hours after she stumbled across
the doorway of her father a home
at Milltown, near here, Tuesday.
"The young woman was wear-
ing a flimsy voile dress and I
think, during a moment when her
mind was not normal, she grew
careless and put a match to her
dress," Thomas said.
Damage waa reported great.
However, communications were
down and this report could not be
substantiated.
