The FOLSOM MACADAM ROAD.
Commissioners and Highway Department
in Conference Yesterday.
Nothing Can be Done Until Deeds
of the Right of Way
Are Had.

A joint meeting Of the members of
the Department of State Highways and
the Folsom Macadam Road Commits
sion was held at the Capitol yesterday
for the purpose of discussing plans OF
procedure in beginning and prosecuting
the work on the macadamized road TO
be built between this city and the
town of Folsom.
The meeting was called at the in
stance of the Folsom Road Commits
sion, consisting of Messrs. Luhrs, Cohn
and Lauriston, for the purpose of ad-
yising with Commissioners Manson.
Price and Ashe of the Department of
Highways. No time was lost in get
ting down TO business.
Commissioner Manson, in answer to
Questions propounded by Mr.. Luhrs,
said the first step necessary was TO Sc
cure and perfect a title to the land
on which it was proposed TO build the
road. When this had been satisfac-
torily accomplished, the facts and data
should be submitted to the Attorney
General for his approval, and when that
was done the commission would be
ready to proceed with the construction
of the road.
Highways, Mr.. Manson explained,
would be purely advisory, but the mem
bers would be ever ready to consult
with the Commissioners, and possibly
suggest plans and measures which
would tend to make the new road what
it was intended to be-a model for the
entire State.
Mr.. Luhrs said he supposed the prop
err thing to do would be TO call on the
Board of Supervisors to determine
whether or not the way was clear to
get funds with which to prosecute the
work.
Commissioner Price said the proper
method would be to interview the
Board Of Supervisors and ask for an
appropriation sufficient to get an ac-
curate survey, and upon that make an
estimate of what funds would be need
ed for constructing the road.
The question of employing engineers
to prosecute the work was taken up,
and Mr.. Cohn suggested that if the
work could be done by the Department
of Highways, in conjunction with the
Folsom Road Commission, a consider
able saving might be made. The Gov
ernor, he thought, had suggested that
the engineering might be done by that
department.
Mr.. Lauritson also said the Governor
had recommended that the work be
done by the Department of Highways.
Mr.. Manson replied that the Depart
ment of Highways was much obliged

Inherited
Blood 'I'aint.

Here is case of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of i1npurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
tons are weak and cannot Withstand the
many dangers which beset the path OF
childhood. Medical statistics show that
majority Of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. w. A. Clayton, OF Addie, n. c.,
believes SIS. is the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate cases. He says:
my three-year-old boy had the worst
case ct Scrofula 1 ever heard of. He

GETS TEN YEARS.
Swanson Thanks Judge Hart For Civ
ing Him a Light Sentence.

Frank Swanson, who was charged
with the robbery of a Chinaman, plead
ed guilty in Judge Harris court yester-
day morning, the prior conviction
against him being withdrawn. He asked
the Judge to give him a light sentence
and TO sentence him to San Quentin.
Judge Hart said that he abhorred the
crime of robbery at night, and was dis
posed to mete out the severest SEN
tence for it, Defendant. however, had
pleaded guilty and saved the county
the expense of trial. He would give
him what he considered light sentence,
and would sentence him to ten years
confinement at Folsom.
Thank you, Judge" said the pris-
Oner.

NO COMPROMISE.
The City Trustees Reject Mrs. Ellen
HawOrtf'S Offer.

The City Board of Trustees met in
adjourned session yesterday AFTERNOON,
Trustees Leonard, Wachhorst, Kent,
Davis, Mckay, Deyine and Tozer be
ing present
John Hughes presented to the boaru
an assignment by Contractor Wyant of
his contract to sprinkle the Fourth
District, and the board approved the
assignment and the bond Of Mr.. Hughes.
Devine said that he had moved last
night that the board refuse the offer
of Mrs Haworth's counsel to comprO-
mise the suit of herself and two others
for damages against the city on ac-
count of the overflow of the Sstreet
sewer on their lands. He would now
renew his motion The overlooking of
the land in question has been going on
for years, and these three parties have
suffered no more than a great many
others have. To compromise would be
to invite a great many more suits.
Davis said that the board had pre-
pared TO expend $4,000 for the benefit
of the people in that part Of the city,
at the expense of the remaining pop
ulation. He thought it very ungrateful
in them and would oppose opening the
door to more suits, if these were COM
promised.
Leonard said that he had at first ia
vored compromise, but had changed his
mind.
Mayor Hubbard expressed the same
sentiments, as did Kent.
The compromise was rejected, and
the Corporation Counsel instructed to
proceed with the suit, Wachhorst not
voting and Mckay voting no.
Wachhorst asked that the order for
improving the alley between 1 and j,
Third and Fourth, be laid over for a
week, as he thought that a surface coat
of fine macadam should be put on it
instead of gravel.
The matter was postponed for week
and the board adjourned.

A UOPELESS EIGHT.

General Tracy made remarkable speech IN
Rrooklyn Monday evening. 1t was the I'M
conscious admission that his candidacy was
1'ammanv's stepping store to success, ana that
his eycuse for being in the field was the desire
10 resent an insult offered to the Republican
organization by some of the leaders of the Citi-
zens Union. General Tracy did not make his
statement quite so bald as that. but the logic
Of his words led to precisely that conclusion.
After telling how keenly he felt the insult to
the organization. and how he had taken the
nomination In the hope of promoting union. he
said.
did not doubt the motives Of the Citizens
,,non or vast majority Of them. did not
doubt the patriotism of their candidate: be-
lieyed that they had been influenced by CON
sc,entious motives and that when they came
10 see how utterly hopeless was this struggle
with our forces divided, they would, Tor the
sake Of the city. for its interests as wen as ior
the. general interests Of the Nation. consent 70
unite upon some candidate who couid poii lhe
entire vote Of the Citizens Union and OF the Re-
publican party.
Ue hoped that for the sake of the city ana
The interests OF the Nation, TO avoid the present
STRUGGLE which he Foresaw was utterly hope
,oes,, IL the forces were divided Mr.. Low would
retire In favor of somebody who could get the
entire independent and Republican vote. That
nath he pojn,s out to another Is the path lie
should take himself If the struggle against
Tammany is Indeed utterly hopeless" il Is
because he is preventing the entire independent
and Republican vote from being united. The
tpdenendent vote Is solid for Low, and under
M circumstances would 20 to Tracy, while the
pnnubllcan vote is divided as it Is. and no man
can toll whether Low or Tracy will secure the
LARGER fraction: and IL General Tracy were out
of the way it would be a substantial unit for
Mr.. Low. Thus Mr.. Low cannot bring about
consolidation. while General Tracy can. what
excuse can he give for making New-fork face
an utterly hopeless struggle against Iammany
when he has the power TO make that struggle
almost certain of success? IL is not sufficient
answer TO say that the Citizens Union made
mistakes anC that if Mr.. Low had done this
or ]. Il. Reynolds had not done that Repub-
Mean Endorsement might have followed. The
statesman must deal with actualitcs. II makes
no difference whatever who is at fault or how
unreasonable may be the independent voter.
The essential fact is that more votes would
he cast for Mr. Low Republican and Cit
zens Union candidate than for General Tracy.
II is a fact recognized by everybody but the
off,cinl betting agents and campaign managers
OF the machine that with the divided forces
Mr.. Low will poll more votes than General
Tracy Under such circumstances the obvious
solution Is concentration Of the ani-rammany
vote upon the man who has the best chance
10 win.
General Tracy yesterday gave nh cxpiana-
ton of bis speech TO the effect that he did not
regard his fight as hopeless, but only referred
to the hopelessness Of the Citizens Union
