TO TEST CAR DETENTION LAW.
 A very high officer of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad com pany states that, unless under the bill now pending the Connecticut legisla- ture reduces the legal four days of car detention to two days, the company will force a test case in the courts by compelling consignees in the state to pay twenty cents or more per day per car after the first two days. An az grieved consignee would thus be com pelled to appeal to the courts, and the question of the constitutionality of the four days law would be taken to the supreme court of the United States if necessary. The officer referred to says that, while the power of the state to impose the fuor days law on the com

Laurel News.
Correspondence of The Evening Star


LAUREL, Md, January 10 1909
The mayor and town council of Laurel
nave published a statement in regard to
the alleged high prices charged for the cleo
trio lights, both for commercial and private
use. For some time this matter has been
the subject Of discussion among the pa irons
of the municipal electric lighting plant and
a number of protests against the existing
prices have been received by the town an
thorities. AT meeting of the board of
trade OF Laurel held in the early part Of
November OF last year a number of pro-
tests were recorded and discussion resulted
in the secretary being ordered to commune
cate with the council and ask that an in
vestigation be made.
The secretaryis communication was laid
before the council early in December Prior
to the writing of this communication how
ever. the town authorities had received COM
plants along the same line and had inyes-
this investigation WIS that the electrical
engineer, who has. charge of the meters and
who also makes out, the bills was upheld
1t was contended by the complainaIts that
the engineer in computing the amounts
added a ciphereto tfs total. which, 1t was
alleged. was the same as multiplying the
amount by ten.
Information was received from a former
employe of thesqtowH which justified the
engineer In adding the cipher. and in some
instances the protests have been withdrawn
by the compliments.

STUDY OF CRIMINALS
BILL ESTABLISHING A LABoRA-
TORY FAVoRABLY REPORTED.
It Will Garry on Work Of the Char
acter Performed by DR.. Macdonald
in Bureau Of Education.

At meeting of the House judiciary COM
mittee this morning favorable action was
taken on the bill establishing laboratory
for the study of the criminal, pauper ana
defective classes in connection with the De-
partment of Justice. This bill was intro-
duced at the last session by Mr.. Ray OF
New York. Since that time 1t has been
under consideration by a subcommittee,
consisting of Representatives Parker, Pow
ers of Massachusetts, and De Almond.
Provisions Of the Bill.
The bill provides that there shall be es-
tablished in the Department of Justice
laboratory for the study of the abnormal
classes Such work will include. not only
laboratory Investigations. but also the col
lection of jurisprudential, sociological and
pathological data, especially as found IN IN
situations for the criminal, pauper ana de-
fective classes and as may be observed III
hospitals, schools and other ms. utlGnS
also investigation of anarchistic criminals
mob influence and like phenomena. the
causes of social evils are especially to De
sought out. with view to lesseninS or pre-
venting them. These results and those OF
similar work are to be collected and pub
lished from time to time.
There is to be a director of the laboratory
at an annual salary of So, 500. Spe ,ialists TO
assist him are to be employed in investiga-
sary to carry on the work.
An appropriation of $4,000 is made in the
bill, one-half of which is to be Immediately
available.
Work Of DR.. Macdonald.
Work of this character has been carried
on to limited extent in the government
bureau of education by DR.. Macdonald No
provision was made for the continuance Of
DR.. Macdonald in this work in the legisla-
tive, executive and judicial appropriation
bill as it passed the House recently. The
value of the work has been recognized by
government officials and legislators, and 1t
is not unlikely that if the bill reported to-
day should fail Of passage, some other pro-
vision will be made for carrying on the
line of investigation begun by DR.. Mac
donald.
A bill providing an additional district
judge in the southern district of New York
was also favorably reported by the COM
uuittee today.

PAVING BRICK IN IOWA.
Engineering Department at Ames Aids
il, Investigation.

8 Ames, April 9.-During the past
three years the civil engineering de-
partment has been making thousands
OF tests of Iowa paving brick, and
Prof Marston, as chairman OF a COM
mittee of the state engineering society,
has been collecting statistics of all
brick paving in the state. These sta
tistics are now published in the form
OF an exhaustive report which can be
obtained upon application
Printed blanks were sent out to all
Iowa cities having brick pavements in
curing the amount of paving, the kind
of brick, the character of the founda-
ton. the cost, the kind of curbing, and
also inquiring the experience and opin-
ions regarding all important features
of the construction and maintenance
of brick pavements. In the report re-
plies to these questions are given in
detail. A large table, giving the most
important statistics of brick paving in
Iowa has been constructed.
From this table it appears that there
We're in the state at the close of 1901,
209.26 miles, or 4,030,696 square yards
of brick pavements, the cost of which
has ranged from $1.04 up to $1.96 per
square yard. At the same date there
were 1176 miles, or 192,SS4 square
yards of asphalt pavement, the cost of
which has ranged from $1.58 to $1.S9
per square yard. In general the as
phalt is more expensive than brick
The amount of asphalt has been mater.
tally increased since 1901.
In general there are two classes of
brick paving, according to the founda-
lions placed underneath the surface
layer of brick In the best paving the
foundation consists of about siA inches
of concrete, but a somewhat cheaper
pavement can be constructed by max
ing the foundation of layer of brick
laid flatwise on bed of sand. The
cheaper method is suited to the streets
where the traffic is light and the soil
good.
The report was read at a meeting
of the State Engineering society at
which the relative merits of brick and
asphalt paving were discussed at some
length. The general opinion seemed to
be that asphalt makes the ideal pave
ment for residence streets and other
streets not having too heavy traffic
or to steep grades. However it costs
more than brick and cannot stand as
heavy traffic as the best brick pave
ments. There have been very few fail
ures of brick pavements in the state
and many, even of the older pavements
appear to be good for a long time yet
In the report, cuts of typical cross
sections of streets in nearly every
Iowa city having brick pavements are
given.
