WANTS BETTER ROADS.

The League Starts = Magazine to Further
Its Obiect-s.art1ing Figures on the Sub
ject-How an, Important Matter Has
Been Sadly Neglected.
Good Roads is the title of the latest illus
trated monthly magazine, the first number
of which has been launched by the League
Roads Improvement Bureau. On its mast
head is found, s'The road is that physical
sign or symbol by which you will under
stand any age or people. If they have no
roads they are savages, for the road is the
creation of man and type Of civilized So
ciety." Next is a quotation from the
United States Commissioner of Agriculture:
'oThe common roads of the United States
have been neglected, and are inferior to
those of any other civilized country in the
world.
An inspection Of the contents of the
magazine would tend to make one suspect
that the writers had been forced to travel
on the roads in this county. Good and bad
roads have been photographed, and some of
the latter have a strong resemblance to
what may be seen anywhere between Nc
KEGS Rocks and Beaver and Washington
counties. 1t is shown that ton of hay on
the average American dirt road is load for
four horses, whereas on 10000 miles of
road in France three horses jog along COM
fortably with four tons of hay. To move
the 45,000,000 tons of hay raised in this
country last year cost $50, ,OOO,0 900 more
than it should have cost France, four
times the size of New York, pays S1S, OOO,-
900 year for work on its roads. This looks
like considerable money, but Pennsylvania
spends half that amount, and 80 per cent of
it is entirely wasted.
In 1890 there were 1923, ,S57 horses
1881 ,Q27 mules and 36, S449. .02i oxen in the
United States. 1t is estimated that the
loss to the country from the services these
animals would perform were the roads good,
by which oxen could be turned into beet,
amounts to between four and five thousand
millions Of dollars per year in addition to
the discomfort and disadvantages farmers
labor under in the isolated condition in

He declined to say anything for publica-

the others upon the list for trial would
come up for some time. A brief mathema-
tical calculation made by s'Dick," who was
present showed that at the rate of one per

OBJECT TO THE REMOVAL.
j. n. Hoslen, of Chicago, Arrested for
tcrferins With an Officer

j. n. Hoglen, of Chicago, Arrested for In
tcrferins With an Officer.
J. N. Hoglen, one of the stock
holders of the Chicago Freight Rate
Journal, is a prisoner in Central station
on the charge of interfering with an officer.
R. j. Bailey, Chief Clerk of the Pittsburs
and Lake Erie Railroad at South Twenty
third street, owned one-fourth interest in
the paper named, the office of which was
located in the Murdoch, Kerr & Co. building.
The other stockholders are residents of
Chicago and desired the removal of the
Office to that city. Recently Mr.. Bailey
gave bill of sale to Murdoch, Kerr & Co.
for the entire plant to secure them. Hoglen
was busy yesterday with an assistant named
Stansboro preparing the effects of the COM
pany for shipment, when Constable Sweeney,
of Alderman McKenna's office, appeared on
the scene. Some words passed. between
them and Hoglen not knowing that Sweeney
was an officer declined to listen to him and
the result was scuff1e.
Later Mr.. Hoglen called at Murdoch,
Kerr & Co. IS and apologized. He thought
the matter was settled, and was very much
surprised when arrested about $3.50 last
night on the charge. Mr.. Stansboro stated
that the majority of the stockholders of the
concern are located in Chicago. 1t has
capital stock of $4,000, and Bailey owned
interest in it and did not desire
to have it removed from this city. Alder
man McKenna will hear the case to-day.

Men to Ferret Out the Cause os Recent
Blazes-StartIing Disclosures Looked FOR
in Few DAYS.
The Board of Underwriters has taken de-
cided steps to put stop to the work of the
frebugs. The suspicious circumstances
under which many of the recent fires have
originated, aroused the board to the ne
cessity of an investigation. The repeated
attempts to fire the Seventh Avenue Hotel
showed plainly that the fires were not acci-
dental
Fire Marshal McFadden has ordered a
general cleaning up, and additional fire ap-
pliances to be put in by all business houses
and large buildings. All waste matter is
being carted away from such houses and not
allowed to accumulate.
An additional inspector has been at work
this week. All owners of buildings were
notified to place additional fire buckets in
ell parts of their buildings. If this is not
done to the satisfaction of the inspector an
additional premium is placed on the owners
policy. If this has no effect the policy is
revoked ...
Pinkerton detectives have been employed
and have been investigating all the recent
fires. Startling disclosures are promised in
few DAYS Detectives will be on the
ground with the engines at all fires from this
time on and investigate the fire thoroughly
Nothing will be neglected that will insure
the safety of property from fire.

A Howl From Coraopolis,

The mercury in some Coraopolis ther-
mometers went clear up into the garrets
yesterday, and in some instances blew off
the roof The cause was that Assessor
Hoey served notices of assessments on prop
erty holders and those whose valuations
had been increased 900 or 1000 per cent
were furious. An idea of the situation NAV
be gained when the assessor got hold of
property for which 81 900 an acre had been
refused and which was assessed at Ss2
an acre three years ago. Having respect
for his oath the result of his cogitations was
something soul-harrowing to the owner.
All the perturbation is not confined to the
city. Some country districts have much
less show for fight than have city property
owners, as in the latter case there seems to
be some room for kick where the asses
sors' valuation is &C per cent above price
paid within six months.

WHY STRIKES ARE WEAK.

A southDider Says It Is Because So Many
Workingmen Must Keep Up Payments
I'm Building Associations-Nine-M onth
Lockouts Are No More.
Some people ON the Southside have lately
been trying to account for the fact that
strikes of late years are not contested on
the part OF the strikers with the spirit dis
played in the olden time, when lockout
for nine months was not infrequent. Last
night James Cready offered solution
which, by rising vote, was decided to be
the correct one, He says it is owing to
the fact that 90 per cent of the
working people of these cities are
members of building and loan associations
and that their dues IN these associations are
from s. to SO week each, and that they
cannot, as a rule, stand out for long fight
with people who have capital to live upon,
no matter whether school keeps or not.
The assembly in session at the cred
Onion" decided that Mr.. Cready had sized
up the situation quite correctly and almost
every man present said he knew that nearly
every working man OF his acquaintance had
shares in building and loan association
and ifhe allowed his payments to fall into
arrears, the fines were heavy and if he
proposed to draw out he lost all ths profit
made to date. While generally admitting
that these associations had sheltered and
fed the hungry and had been the means of
rendering many working men quite
easy i'll circumstances it was the
general concensus of opinion that they
were the principal element of weakness In
a strike, and that a man who was not GER
tain of his ability to procure the next meal
for his family was more reliable in a con-
test with capital than the one whose appe-
tite for property had been whetted by the
almost insensible accumulation of 81 900 or
$4,000 stock in one of the associations, or
a house and lot representing those values.
They also said that the Spartan heroism of
families who formerly boiled the dishcloth
to make soup rather than surrender to capi-
tai had been dissolved by the enervating
desire to become freeholders, and that capi-
talists made it their business to understand
the situation and banked on it.
Mr.. Cready offered his solution as a phil
osopher, not being in any way concerned in
labor upheavals, and able to smile in any
event, but it being striking" assemblage
all present did not view the situation
through his spectacles, though sadly admit
ting it to be correct Several owned that
they had weakened because prolongation
of controversy meant the loss of several
hundred dollars.
While some will hold that it is all for the
best, it resolves itself into case of ''Put
yourself in mis- place.

Fears No Collapse After the Fair.

man, put up at the Duquesne yesterday.
he says real estate is booming in the
Windy City, and he is not one of those
who think there will be recession of rices

''that business was at a stand still for 10
years in Philadelphia after the Centennial,
but Chicago is different city. The
Quakers are living in the past, while we
are young, and have our reputation to make
Of course, property around the Fair
grounds, which has been boomed is sure to
drop back. Chicago can profit by the mis-
takes of Philadelphia. Everybody is pre-
dieting slow times after the Exposition, and
this is the reason a collapse won't occur
The people will be prepared for it. My
experience has been when the general talk
is downward or upward that the extreme of
neither condition is realized The panic of
a year ago was anticipated, and most peo-
pie were prepared for it. This is why the
country was not badly affected"

PLANS FOR THIS YEAR

To Be Discussed at a Meeting of the Expo
sition Society Next Week-The Audi
torium, Music and Art Gallery Features
Arousing Considerable Interest
There was to have been meeting of the
Exposition Society yesterday afternoon, but
on account of no quorum it was postponed
until next Friday.
The object of this meeting is important
inasmuch as it is called to consider three
questions for the turthering of the Exposi-
tons interests. The first is the proposed
extension and enlargement of the building
which addition is to be used as an audi
torium, with all the stage facilities and
acoustic properties suitable for any theatri-
cal or musical entertainment which may
take place. The present big hall is too
large for such amusements. The addition
Of an auditorium is considered necessary,
and many of the directors of the society
seem to be in favor of the improvement.
Another question which will occupy a
portion of the meeting is upon the matter
of selecting band-whether local or out of
town. This has been freely discussed on
the outside, and opinions have been ex-
pressed through THE DISPATCH by promi-
nent Pittsburg business men and others
interested in the welfare of the Exposition.
Some favored local band, while others
contended that New York organization
was a much greater attraction. This subject
will be fully aired at next Fridays meet
ing, and every member present is expected
to give his opinion on the matter and then
vote accordingly. One of the members said
yesterday afternoon in reference to the
band:
OF course Pittsburg has good bands, but it
has no organizations of professional musi-
clans which meet and play together every
night: making business of it. 1t stands to
reason that practice makes perfect, and
where this member is engaged in some out
side vocation, and that member is ont of town
and so on, there is a possibility of the band
becoming rusty. New music and latest
scores which are popular with the people
must be learned, and this is not possible
where practice is not regular, with a full
representation of the members. The popu-
lar opinion must be considered in order to
home industry TO the detriment of the show
from a financial point of view,
Many, however, think Pittsburg has good
enough bands, but the question will be de-
cided upon at the next meeting. The az
rangements for the art display will be maze
also. There never was better or more
liberal exhibition of private collections of
rare and costly paintings since the building
was opeucu W Iie puUiiC tu1u last sSitSou.
This year efforts will be made even to
eclipse it, Outside of the volunteer ex-
hibts by Pittsburg people there will be,
perhaps, number of famous works of art
brought from other cities. Every effort
will be made to make this feature very at
tractive and the big show, in the words of
Barnum, "the greatest on earth."
