Boston-The members Of the Massa-
chusettes highway commission nave
begun tour OF the state. whlch VIII
combine the annual inspection OF the
state highways on the two main trunk
lines running east and west, an inspec'
ticn of the connecting pieces or town
roed. which ara desired by the respec'
tive towns shall be converted into
state roads. and finally a series OF
hearings in Springfield, Pittsfield,
Northampton and Greenfield for addi-
tional state roads.
The start was made in two heavy
automobiles. 1t is the intention to
cover the journey of more than 800
miles in these machines If the wealth.
er and road conditions will permit.
Considerably more than one-quarter
of the entire distance will be over the
magnificent state roads which have
been constructed here and there along
the line of the old Boston and Albany
turnpike, and along the old Boston
and Troy turnpike, covering the Will
liamstown, I'd Massachusetts,, 18th
Massachusetts, and 5th Massachusetts
turnpikes, and the cid Union and Con-
cord turnpikes.
This Is the third tour of automo-
biles that the state commission has
made this year. In August tour was
made of the southeastern portion of
the state, passing through Brockton,
Taunton, Fall River and New Bedford,
and then going out on Cape Cod as far
as Chatham, and returning along more
easterly roads near the shore.
On that trip was a member OF the
good roads commission of the U. s.
department of agriculture, who upon
his return to Washington. declared
that, having visited and inspected all
the good roads of modern construc-
ton in the United States and all the
famous highways OF more ancient
times in Europe, he was ready to de-
clare that he had not seen the supe-
ricr of Massachusetts state roads any
where in the world.
1t is expected that this tour will en-.
able the commission to see the prog
ress of the work in four days, while
under the former method of going to
town by train and then driving ever
the state highway in the several Sec
tions, at least four weeks would be
required.

ton. Then she offered to give the ex-
aminers $1,000 each If she could not
take an engine apart and put it to-
gether in their presence, but was told
tnat was not the way to obtain a per-

Lexington, 8. C.-The defence in the

verdict OF acquittal, though it has
been entirely on the defensive, while
the prosecution is pushing its fight
and blistering Tillman all along the
line. Col. Andrew Crawford was ex-

of Tillman. and said that 1t was noln-
ing but cold-blooded. brutal murder,
and that there was nothing else to be
said about the case. He insisted Inat

Animals, it claims, may legitimateiy be

fering is to employ a guiIlotine as an
instrument Of death.

How Absent Treatment' Is said 20
Have Won a Match Game.
Absent treatment given BY a
Christian Scientist is what caused the

ment, Mrs. Julia Goldzier of Bayonne.
Mrs. Goldzier is an enthusiastic follow

When 1t was announced that 1t was
because Of Mrs. Goldziers absent
treatment that the Forrest Hills went
down and out at the hands Of the Bay
onne team. whom they had previously
defeated, there was a sensation among
Bayonne whist players. On the New
ark Bay team are Frederick Seeman
Joseph Thomas, George Christie and
Harry Ellsworth. A few days before
that set for the whist match Mrs. Gold
zier called upon Mrs. Alexander Chris
tie. The latter told Mrs. Goldzier Of her
fears that the Forrest Hills were going
to win from the Bayonne four. Mrs.
Goldzier became interested and was
anxious TO have the local four win.
