GREAT MACADAM HIGHWAY
State Road to Be Built Across
Missouri.

Plans for = public highway across
the state of Missouri between st. Louis
and Kansas City are virtually complet-
ed, and, according to w. II. Moore,
president of the National Good Roads
association, work probably will begin
upon the roadway early next spring.
The project has been cherished ono
ever since the national convention OF
good readers was held in Chicago in
1900. At that time the feasibility OF
building cross state road was dis
cussed by Missourians, and President
Moore was asked to use his best efforts
to make the undertaking successful.
As proposed the roadway will be 100
feet wide throughout its course, says
The st. Louis Republic While II is TO
be hullt primarily for stability It Is
also the purpose OF the projectors to
make II one of the most beautiful high
ways Of the world.
Macadam eight inches deep and
twenty-four feet wide will form the
principal roadbed, but clay wagon
paths will parallel the main roadway
on both sides for dry weather Be
tween the dirt roadbeds and the fences
which will follow the course Of the
road water sluiccs are TO be made for
drainage. Between these slulces and
the fences wide plank walk for pc
destrians is also TO be laid, and be
tween the suices and the walk trees
are to be planted for shade.
These trees are to be planted by per-
sons living along the route OF the road
way, according TO clause In the agree
ment which will be drawn up between
the projectors and the officials Of the
counties through which the road passes.
According TO the calculations Of Mr..
Moore, about nfty-flve miles OF this
cross state highways are already com
pleted. and from observations made
along the roads six counties have ma
terial from which the road can be con
structcd. The cost of the road Is not tc
exceed $1,000 n mile, which will bring
the total cost when completed In the
neighborhood Of 100000.
The building of the road, II all the
plans Of the National Good Roads as
ISOLATION are carried out, will deyolvC
largely upon convict labor, the vagran
and those guilty OF mlsdemeanors
Taxation will form the chief means oI
raising money 10 complete the work
each county paying pro rata Of thu
expense, Money appropriated by thu
legislature for the Improvement of th'
roadways will also be used on the eros
state MghwnY.

Death of Philip T. Berry-General and
Personal Notes.

Mr. Philip T. Berry, for many years
identified with real estate interests in the
western section of the city, died last
evening at his home on Dumbarton ave-
nue. near 31st street northwest. His death
was due to a chronic stomach affection,
with which he suffered for some time
past He however, was not compelled to
take to his bed until about ten days ago
He grew steadily worse until death re-
lieved his sufferings.
Mr. Berry was well known in George
town, and the news of his death was a
great shock to his many friends in this
city 1t was not generally known that
his ailments were OF a serious character.
His place of business was onD 31st street
near NJ street. He is survived by wife
and several children. The funeral ar
engagements have not yet been completed.
Mr.. H N. Dewitt, son of Manager De-
Witt of the Riggs House, and a young
lady companion, narrowly escaped serious
injury, if not death, in an automobile ac-
cident yesterday afternoon. The accident
occurred in Rock Creek Park while Mr..
Dewitt and the young lady were out rid
ing. Mr.. DeWittS escape is attributed to
good luck, and that of the young lady to
presence of mind.
Mr. Dewitt stopped the machine near
short while prior to returning to the city.
AS he was stepping from the automobile
ard turning around to assist the young
lady his coat caught on the throttle in
such a manner as to cause the machine to
start. 1t quickly gathered speed and pur-
sued a zig-zag course. Mr.. Dewitt was
thrown to the ground, but was only
slightly injured. When he got himself
together he saw the young lady jump
from the machine as it approached a
steep embankment. She sustained no in
jury. The machine ran over the embank-
ment and was badly smashed. The dam
age was estimated at 500.
Luther Mason, ty-eight years of age,
residing at 10 G street northwest was a
victim yesterday of a painful and serious
accident. AS he was walking about a half
mile from the Aqueduct bridge in Vir-
ginia he made misstep and fell to the
ground, breaking his left leg above the
and brought to this city. He was later
removed to the Emergency Hospital
