GOOD ROADS
LAW VALID
Court Of Appeals UphoIds Shoe
maker Act

The Court of Appeals upheld the valid
ity Of the Shoemaker road act in an Or
der handed down Thursday morning in
the ease of Mr.. Frank \. BonSal against
tn" Baltimore County Commissioners
An opinion will be filed later.
This act provides for an appropriation
of 100000 for each of two years from
the funds in the State Treasury to the
different counties in the State to be used
in building improved roads. The fund is
distributed according 70 the road mile
are in the respective counties.
Before amy portion of the fund is
awarded the county receiving it must
agree 10 contribute half the cost of the
contemplated improvement.
When the act was under consideration
by the Legislature. doubt of its validity
WAS expressed because of Il provision Of
the Constitution of the State forbidding
the use Of public funds for internal i'm
provemcnt. In order to overcome this
obstacle in case an unfavorable decision
was rendered by the Court of Appeals. a
constitutional amendment embracing the
same provisions as the act was passed.
1t will not, however, be necessary to
submit the amendment for the approval
of the people since the Court of Appeals
has decided that the money can be CON
trihuted from the funds in the State
Treasury.
Several counties have had their roads
surveyed with Il view of taking advan-
tage of the offer of assistance made by
the State as soon as the validity of the
law had been established by the Court
of Appeals.

AssoNIO CAsE CONTINUED.

A young Italian named Carmellio Assonio, as the result of a love affair, was in the city court yesterday morn ing with his head one mass of band ages and suffering from two ugly cuts in the forehead and cheek, both of them down to the bone. He has been confined at the hospital since Saturday evening when the trouble occurred. As sonic testified that he was in love with a girl by the name of Sophie Brainard, and that he had found out that she was receiving the attentions of man whom he understood was from New York. Saturday night the accused went out on to the street with a friend and then into a saloon to get a drink. When he came out the man from New York stepped up to him and proceeded to slash him twice with great effect. In the opinion of the city attorney the case was too serious one to be dis posed of at the present time, and in order that an effort might be made to land the slasher the case was contin- ued until October 2S. the bonds being placed at $100.

 The Lawson prophecy on Amalga- mated Copper was ignored, though the sentiment that no change would be made in the dividend yesterday weigh ed against the stock. No change was made.
 Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, was said to be in New York yesterday for the purpose of conferring with leading bankers about financial matters, and, it was rumored, in refer ence to bond issue.
 A determined effort was made to hold Steel common at S7. It had the look of being begged there. ..-
 Brooklyn Rapid Transit was selected for leadership because of it's improving earnings position, which seems to have appealed strongly to one of the mar ket's most powerful speculative cliques The general list ended, with few ex- captions, firm, retaining at the close the greater part of the afternoon gains.

RECEIVER IS ASKED.

A petition for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the $10,O00 worth of property that figures in the suit of Henry Herz,, a real estate deal- CT, against Dora Lippmann, has been filed in the superior court by Attorney Strouse, acting for the plaintiff. Judg- ment for Mir. Herz to recover $6,979 in the way of relief on the mortgages he holds against the Bippnan property lo- cated on Arch and Oak streets was rendered last month. Time for redemp- tion of the notes was fixed by the court for the first Monday in January. Since 1898 MT. Herz has had charge of the property and has collected the rents and made disbursements in the way of keeping the houses in repair.
 This report concerned his transac- tions in this line up to July and the purpose of asking for receiver is to allow the latter to have charge of the property and make the reports on its condition from July until final judg- ment of foreclosure is rendered..
