EXPERTS RETURN.
Work Will be Resumed in a
Few Days on Model Road.
Section Being Built From this Place
to Lower End of Granville Every
one Should Cooperate With the Ex-
perts and Those Engaged In This
Most Important Work.

Messrs, Sheets and Harrison are
here and will In day or SO resume
operations on the section of model
road which is to be built between
Morgantown and the lower end Of
Granville on the West Side.
They will begin work in few days.
They were here last fall and worked
until the weather caused cessation
of the operations. The two gentle
men are engaged by the government as
experts to supervise the making Of
model roads in several states.
The county is put to 20 expense for
their service nor for the machinery
which is used in the work. The gov
ersment builds. one section at least In
any state wanting it done ia order to
give people practical examples of the
best methods OF scientific road max
ing.
People who furnish supplies or per-
form labor in this work should do it
at the lowest figures. All whoare in
terested in the county getting an I'M
proved system of roads should watch
the work and get pointers on how it
should be done.
1t is probable that section will be
built in Berkeley county under direc-
tion of these same gentlemen under
similar conditions. They will flush
their work early this summer.

themselves to blame. For the most
part these are naturalized Americans
who return to the old country and
Haunt their citizenship in the faces
OF everyone and endeavor to use it as
a means Of getting into society in
which they would not be admitted
at home. Foreigners of the better
class have fine discernment and arc
not fooled by the vain boastings of
this class which therefore is called
snobbish.
A good illustration of the way
Americans try TO gain favor was wit
messed by us in Vienna. An Austrian
Of the lower class had made a for.
tune in America. All of his money
would not have gained much respect
here among the better class, but he
expected it to buy him into the nobil-
ity and was grievously disappointed.
Such people believe their money and
their American citizenship places them
equal with any person living, but the
foreigners insist on making distinc-
ton, and there is the rub.
The foreigners, as a rule. are eX-
tremely democratic, and no American
whether a school teacher or million
aire. has reason 20 complain if he ex-
ercises common sense

CAN'T BE- SUSPENDED
JAIL SENTENCES
This is the Point Raised by Shrewd
Seattle Attorney-His
Argument.

Seattle-If the contention Of Frank
correct, commitments issued my Act
ing Police Judge Miller are illegal and
the old usage Of imposing sentences
on prisoners is equally wrong. The
Ter this afternoon.
Simms claims that his clients sen
tence. imposed early in August, has
expired. although Morris n has served
no time. He further maintains that
Judge Miller could not issue a com
mitment in Morrison's case were such
process otherwise permissible, for
the reason that Miller is not JUS
tice of the peace.
Both points to this argument were
admitted by the court. when first
brought up, to be decidedly interest
ing.
The conditions are these: ]. L. Nor
rison was arrested early in August
for being a disorderly character. AS
such he got a thirty-day suspended
sentence from Police Judge George.
The other day Patrolman w. G. Hub
Hubbard again arrested Morrison on
the ground that he had not reformed.
The man was brought into police
court yesterday to have the original
sentence carried out by commitment.
Then Simms raised the point on which
he and City Attorney De Bruler ar
gued this afternoon.
In the first place. the lawyer on
the defense insists that no cOurst can
issue suspended sentence. The op-
Grafton Of a sentence, he maintains,
can be stopped only in case Of an ap-
peol or similar procedure. Otherwise
when imposed. the sentence begins at
once unless the statute expressly
provides otherwise, as it does in case
of prisoners sentenced to the peni-
tertiary. their sentences beginning
when they are delivered to the war
den. Ordinarily. hOwver. he contends
that a sentence to serve time begins
| with its pronunciation.
'Supppose. said ne, your honor
were to impose this suspended sen
tence on Morrison where would you
date the commitment? 1t would be
early August. the date or which sen
tence was passed. More than thirty
days have elapsed since that time
That sentence must be served out
oFurther than that Simms touched
incidentally on a point which is even
more interesting than the first. He
| claimed that Acting Police Judge Mil
Ter cannot issue commitments on
cases decided by Police Judge George
The latter holds office because he is
peace justice. Acting Judge Miller
! is not one.
In all probability the first point to
the argument will be the only one
passed Oh By the court.

INDIANS OWN THE TIDELANDS.
Washington Supreme Court Susta!ns
Land Commissioners RULING.

Olympia, Wash.-The state has no
title to tidelands that lie within the
limits of an Indian reservation, where
the boundaries Of the reservation
were fixed by the treaty with the In
dams, executive order Of the presi-
dent, or patent by the government is
sued prior to the admission of the
state to the union, according to a de-
cision handed down by the supreme
coure.
The decision settles much mooted
question and vests title in the Indians
to very large area of the tidelands
within the borders Of the state, as me
boundaries of nearly all reservations
that abut on the Puget Sound extend
TO the low tide line. The decision
sustains a ruling of the present board
Of state land missioners.
