DEMURRER OvERRULED.
Pension Commissioner Declared IL
Have Exceeded His Right.

Justice Clabaugh of the Supreme Court
Of the District of Columbia today rendered
his decision in connection with the demur-
rer to the declaration in the action at law
instituted by Henry H. Phillips against H
Clay Evans, to recover damages in the sum
of 100000. According to Mr.. Phillips, Mr..
Evans, as commissioner of pensions, mali
ciously recommended the di~'r"~rrc-- tNa
former as an attorney practicing before the
pension bureau. In addition to recommend
ing his disbarment, so Mr.. Phillips claims,
the defendant sent out notices to the eli
ents Of Mr.. Phillips announcing that he was
disbarred even after he had been REIN
stated. BY the demurrer it was insisted
that an executive officer, acting in the line
Of the jurisdiction conferred on him by Con-
gress and the regulations of the depart
ment, cannot be held accountable in dam
ages, even though he acted maliciously.
Justice Clabaugh overruled the demurrer,
holding that after Phillips had been re-
stored to the rolls the commissioner had no
right to send out notices to the effect that
he had been disbarred and suggesting that
his clients employ another attorney.
United States Attorney Gould represent
ing the commissioner, announced that he
would confer with the latter as to the ad-
visibility of taking a special appeal from
the ruling of Justice Clabaugh.

INTEREST IN ROAD BUILDING.
Report of Director Martin Dodge O
the Agricultural Department.

Report of Director Martin Dodge of
the Agricultural Department..
The report of Martin Dodge, director Of
the office of public road inquiries Of the
Agricultural Department for 1901 has been
issued
'Never before in the history of this coun-
try" says the report, has there been so
much interest manifested in the subject
of road building and more actual work in
that line was done last year than ever be-
fore. 1t Is the intention of the director in
continuing the work during the ensuing
year to enlarge it's scope SO far as the ap-
preparation will permit. Out Of large
number Of requests for practical co-opera-
tion, five places have been selected where
the Office will assist in building object
lesson roads. These places are Buffalo,
N. Y; Cumberland, Md; Charlottesville,
Va; Jonesboro, Tenn, and Tama, Iowa.
Sections of the various kinds of roads, in
cluding earth gravel, macadam, etc, will
be built. The Office will cooperate with
the National Good Roads Association and
object-lesson roads in the states of North
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Virginia."
The director desires 1t to be distinctly
understood that the work of his office is
purely educational. "There is no intention
to shift the burden and responsibility of
constructing improved roads from the
states and counties to the general govern
ment," he says. In order to meet the con-
stantly increasing demands that are being
made from time to time for practical as
sistance and advice, he suggests the organ
ization of two or three outfits of road
building machinery, including rock crush
ers, screens, rollers. road graders, ETC.. to
be sent to the various places which have
asked for the cooperation of the depart
ment, and where preparations have been
made for actual road construction. Each
of these outfits should be accompanied by
one or two practical road builders and a
competent road engineer. The director
asks an increase to $4,000 in the appro-
priation for his office.

mining more necessary than ever. 1 am
convinced that when the great issue comes

there will. be very decided Discrimination
to make mines and mining the tail of any

partment of mines and mining. The agita-
tion of the issue means a successful out
come. The facts, figures and other argu-
ments in it's favor once clearly fixed in the
public mind and public sentiment will COM
pei Congress to create the department.
The administration has recommended a de-

rectly to the eastern slope. In common with
many other of his stalwart friends, regret
