ROAD
SENSE
FROM B. L. H.
OF Road District Number Two
Marion County

I'D. Journal: wish to give a few
practical ideas on road building. to
the supervisors OF the state. Good
roads are the most important thing
IN any state and the first thing to be
considered-for II is the basis--is the
grading
Never plow up the center OF the
road. leave eight or twelve feet In the
center This is firmer than you can
make II. and is a benefit for under.
drainage. Where IL is possible have
the grade slope to the center OF the
ditch have no square banks next TO
the road where IL can be avoided;
buil1 your grade one foot higher than
enough. A grade wide enough for two
tracks. eighteen feet, make a BETTER
road than one forty foot wide. The
eighteen foot grade should have one
gravel track and one dirt You can
grade two miles OF the two track road
and keep IL in better condition than
YOU can one mile OF the forty foot
grade at the same expense. The
grading OF a road should be done as
early as possible. say In March. and not
later than April--it will pack much
quicker while the earth is damp. and
there will be less dust. No gravel
Should go on a road until IL is
Thoroughly drained and graded, for in
time il will be lost by making a grade,
Coarse gravel should be used first on
new grade. this should be packed
we'll with a roller, and then given
coat OF fine gravel. Then you will
have a road bed for ages To get the
most benefit OF your gravel where II
costs sl.5O per yard. after your grade
is finished. use an average tread
wagon, drive correctly where you
want the track TO be, then take a good
sized plow and run two burrows eight
inches deep. plowing out the wagon
track and throwing the dirt 10 the
center. Fin the furrows with gravel
One yard will go as far as three
spread in the old way. Gravel never
ought 10 be spread any wider than the
tread Of the wagon. where you only
want one track. The travel win soon
scatter II wide enough. Road build
ers ought TO bear In mind not 10 gravel
permanently hills or hollows. for
sooner or later the hills will be grad
ed down. and the hollOws filled up.
and the work will be lost In regard
to culVerts and small bridges, they
ought TO be put on level with the
surface Of the road. II II would cost
50 70 build a wooden eulyert and SIS
20 build a stone one, the stone would
be the cheapest In the end. About
dirt roads. where gravel or crushed
rock Is not 70 be had grading and
drainage is the main thing. and while
the grading Is being done a six or

MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Body Of Boy Found Near Baltimore
Identified

The body of the boy found in the swamp
near Mount Winans, a Baltimore suburb,
as heretofore published in The Star, is de-
clared to be that Of John Matthews Null
laney, a Baltimore boy. His mother, Mrs.
Annie Mullaney Of COT Madison avenue, in
that city, has identified the effects held by
the police as having belonged to her SON.
Arrangements were made to have the body
disinterred for identification and for the
purpose Of having 1t more carefully ex-
amined.
There is mystery surrounding the death
of the boy which the mother and FRIENDS
are anxious to have solved. Mualaney was
seventeen years old. He left home Sunday,
February 1, telling his mother he would
return in half an hour. He did not return,
but was seen on the street later by his
sister.
Thinking he was on his way home his
sister said nothing to him. He had dis
appeared on a former occasion, but was
absent only one day and night. When the
body was found in the swamp last week
Mrs. Mullaney thought it might be her
boy, but she soon changed her mind for
some reason and gave the matter no more
thought until yesterday, when she identi-
fed the articles mentioned. The boy 8
clothes were partly burned. as heretofore
stated, and one leg was broken. Two
cartridges were found near the body, but
there was no weapon there. Mullaney had
q revolver in his pocket when he went
away from home. and this has not been &C.
counted for. It was suggested yesterday
that the boy may have been shot and killed
with his own weapon.

ALL BIDS REJECTED.
Building Committee Of Foundry
Church Requests Change in Plans.


At the meeting Of the building committee
of Foundry NJ. E.. Church, held last night
at the Hamilton Hotel. it was decided to
return the plans of the proposed new church
edifice to Mr.. Appleton P. Clark, the archi-
tect, with instructions that he make
changes in his plans in order that the
church may be built for $4,000. This
amount is the sum named by the quarterly
conference as the limit to be expended in
the erection Of the proposed new building.
MT. Clark, 1t is expected, will submit al
tered drawings next week, when another
set Of bids for the construction Of the
church will be called for by the building
committee. It was stated that all the for
mer bids, none Of which was within the
limit fixed upon by the quarterly conference
for the construction OF the ediice, have
been rejected.
The question of increasing the cost OF
the church was discussed at the meeting last
night, which was presided over by DR.. L.
B. Wilson. chairman OF the committee. Mr..
I. o. Ban acted as secretary in the absence
Of Mr.. ]. L. Ewin. After reviewing the
matter at some length, 1t was decided to
confine the expense within the limits al
ready set by the conference. Another
meeting of the building committee will be
held as soon as the architect submits new
drawings.

Tug Gibbon Will Be Used as Tender
for Forts on Potomac.

The United States army quartermas.ers
department tug Gibbon. which has been
assigned to duty as the tender to Fort
Washington and Fort Hunt, arrived at
Fort Washington yesterday. AS soon as q
crew can be placed aboard her she will
go into commission under the orders Of
Col. B. X. Roberts, commanding at Fort
Washington.
For the past three years the officers sta
toned at the Potomac forts have been
trying to obtain as a tender to the forts, a
boat larger than the launches assigned
them, but the quartermaster's depart ment
has been unable to comply with that re-
quest until recently, when the Gibbon was
relieved from duty at the forts on the
Delaware and was assigned TO duty on the
Potomac.
She VIII be used to transport the officers
and their families between this city and
Fort Washington, and 1t Is understood two
trips will be made daily. Whether she will
be used to transport freight is not known.
The Gibbon Is wooden-hull tugboat OF
80 tons burden, and is 6l.9 feet long. -

GEN. MILES LAUDS

Holds Certain Officers Wholly Re-

CONDEMNS MEDIEVAL CRUELTY
And Says the Offences Were Not COM

Washintgon.-Gen. Miles. in re-
ferring to his tour of the Philippine
Islands, says his visit was not

the islands as an officer OF the
United States army to inspect con-
ditons there. He says communities

Army" giving instructions. were
from the highest authorities, IN
cludirg the president. Concerning
his report, recently given out. or
the Philippines, Gen. Miles said:
No one can have more sacred
regard fer the honor of the army
than myself" !" Coming to the SUBJ
ject of cruelties Ia the Philippines,
Gen. Miles letter read as follows:
1t IS idle to assume that campaign
ing in the Philippines has produced
conditions that warrant a resort to
medieval cruelty, and that such de-
parture from tie honorable methods
OF conducting warfare, and that such
departures as have existed should
be overlooked and oondoned. 1t is
most gratifying that the serious
Offenses Eave not been committed
by soldiers unless they were under
the direct orders of certain officers
who were responsible. Soldiers
have withheld fire when ordered to
shoot prisoners, protested against
acts of cruelty and written letters
to relatives at home urging them to
take action to put a stop to those
crimes. 1t will ever be one of the
glories If tie army that such deeds,
committed by whatever authority,
are abhorrent to the American SOL
dier. TIE officers who are respson-
sible do not. by any means, consti-
tute the American army, aud there
