i Washington, Nov. 3.-There was s
brief reminder of the Sampson-SchleJ

preme court when the case of 1.-THE
United States VS.. w. 7. Sampson, Real
Admiral, ct al" was called for argu.
ment. 1t involves distribution of prize
money because Of the capture of the
Spanish cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa
In the battle Off Santiago.
Chief Justice Fuller suggested the
necessity Of substituting some othel
name for that of Admiral Sampson ir
view of the Admiral's death.
Assistant Attorney General Hoyt, fol
the government, responded that the
parties to the controversy had sup.
posed hat the might make s
suggestion later In the case, and thai
for the present the argument could
proceed under the present title. Chic,
Justice Fuller manifested a DISPOSE.

some difficulty about making a sub.
stitution. "If," he said, there is tt
be a substitution, there remains but
one mar who was an officer Of the
fleet, and that is Captain Chadwick
who was Admiral SIMPSONS chief OF
staff. Admiral Schley's duties were linn
tied to the command of a division Of
the fleet"
st had thought it possible re.

might be a question Of rank or title"
To this question Mr.. Hayden replied:
"If Admiral Sampson had not been
present and in command there, Ad.

The sentence was not completed. JUS

The chief justice seemed quite inter-
ested over the turn the case had taken.
His hands were raised, as was also his
voice, slightly, when he asked: "Is that
point involved In this case?"
He was assured that it was not, and
counsel took the matter Of naming q
Jew litigant under advisement.

Good Roads Favored as the Best Exponent OF

sage TO the General Assembly.

concur in the opinion that good high
waysare the best opponents OF an advan-

Virginia is spending annually about
$500 600 upon public highways without
any appreciable equivalent in road i'm
prOvement 1t is manifest that the eX-
penditure OF funds throug unintelligent
administration is worse than evtraya-
gance. The construction of roads in ac-
cordance with approved methods and
under responsible, capable and scientific
supervision are prerequisites to the &C
heyements OF the desired end.
The financial phase OF good roads
centers perhaps. around three plans
The first is a county tax to be levied sole
ly Tor road building; the second, the
issuance by counties, upon the guaran-
tee OF the STATE, of long bonds. the
proceeds from which to be applied to
road construction and improvement,
aud third, the State aid plan. by which
the State undertakes to appropriate a
given sum OF money for the construction
OF roads upon the condition that the
county supplement the sum from its own
treasury The Governor recommends
that the Legislature pass a bill to carry
out this object

MAJ theproper Educational iacili.

With theproper educational facili-
ties for our offspring. and up-to.da'e

to The front along all lines. Then
people would not shrk at travelling

nor would they question the ability
of our children to manage the bust

1t is to be hoped that this subject
will not only be discussed but that
some speedy and proper action may
soon be taken by those in authority.
Thej way 10 Secure these improve
