ton and the New Orleans Progres
sive Union with the support and
cooperation OF the National Good
Roads Association. q convention Of

will be to discuss all subjects bear
Ing upon the construction and main
tenance Of good roads ana the i'm
provement of our social and COM
merclal intercourse to arouse and
enlist the public interest in favor Of
the movement, and to suggest to the
National Congress and the State
Legislatures the enactment Of such

Governments IN any proper meas :
ure for the Improvement OF public

mo subjects should appeal more
f0rcibly to all classes Of our citizens,

districts, than that Ut good :oads.
A perfect system of well-constructed
highways, surveyed and planned by
scientific engineers and r"ad ex-
perts, would result in greater and
more direct benefit to the State and
to the psople than any other public
work that can be named. Such
roads would econ0mize time, labor
and money; they would add to our
social and religious progress every
acre Of land through or near which
\ beautiful and pei manent road is
msintained, would add materially
to its value and permit upinterrupt-
ed intercourse and the transporta-
ton of crops and merchandise
throughout the year. Good roads
are the avenues OF progress. the
ligaments that bind the country in
the bonds Of patriotism and thrift.
Realizing the Importance of tine
subject of the welfare and pros
perity IT our State and the great
good that can be accomplished bv

lie veal and for the common good
of oil. to attend this Convention,
and by their presence AMI their
councils, aid in the great and good
work which the convention proposes
and hopes to accomplish.

visit TO his West Indian estates.
Concerning the political status of the
Isle of Pines, Mr.. keenan, said that
there had been no recent Developments.
The American residents proposed 10
keep up their agitation for the annexa-
ton Of the island to the United States
as provided for in the treaty OF Paris.
There is, however, no friction with Gu
ban officials charged with the tempo
rary administration of the disputed ter
ritory.
The supposed reforms instituted in
the interest OF American residents and
property owners have proven, rs n rule.

been taken TO make them OF real prac-
teal value.
II was the impression al Washington.
Mr.. keenan, said. that a treaty surren-
dering the Isle OF Pines would not be
pressed In the Senate at the next
session.
The growth of American interests on
the island might be judged from the
fact that the membership Of the Ameri-
can section had within a brief period
increased from less than 300 to over

Praises the Judges.

Judge O'Neal took occasion today 70
explain his respect and admiration for
the two judges OF the Police Court and
TO say most positively that he has never
intended, by any Of his previous re-
marks, TO reflect in any way on the per
sonal or official actions or motives Of the
judges.
Il think. and have always thought, 90
remarked Judge O'Neal, that the Police
Court judges ought to have their sala-
ries increased by Congress from g, 900 TO
$4,000 per year. Their work deserves this
and everybody comedies that they ought
70 be paid the additional thousand
Il want nobody to think that I feel
anything but the greatest respect and
a sincere admiration for the judges OF
the Police Court"
Carrying concealed weapons is an
offense punishable in the District by
fine Of not less than $50 nor more than
500, or by imprisonment of not more
than six months. Eleven such cases
were disposed Of by the judge by TAX
ing the offenders personal bonds
During the period referred to. August
l 10 September 10. 1900 cases came be-
fore Judge O'Neal. and Of these 645 were
released on personal bonds. But affairs
are now settled, and peace is trium-
