SPEND sls. 900 ON ITS ROADS
Marion County Plans for Better High
ways with Farmers Aid.

salem--"The people Of Marion coun-
W will contribute $4,000, fl6, 900 or
perhaps as much as 5000 In labor
for the improvement Of the public roads
this summer said County Judge
Scott, as he finished preparing num-
Der OF blank agreements for use In road
districts where the property owners are
circulating subscription papers.
"The county court has decided TO
spend It's surplus road funds in those
districts where the people contribute
work, and IL IL very evident that this
year will see more progress in road
building than in any previous year in
the history OF Marion county. Our plan
IL TO use what money IL necessary in
the building of bridges, and in the re-
pair OF roads in few places where
county work is OF immediate necessity,
and the balance of the fund will be di-
vided among the districts. We do not
know yet what rate OF distribution will
be adopted, but the amount distributed
will be enough TO encourage the enter
prise OF the people in road building by
contributed work"
In the immediate vicinity OF Salem
work TO the amount Of at least $1,000
will be done, and II will probably much
exceed this amount. The business
men OF Salem have subscribed $4,000,
and the county court $500 more, and
to this the farmers will add "a 200 or
more in contributed work. In nearly
every part of the county agreements
are in circulation for the purpose of as
certaining what donated work can be
secured. The initiative has been taken
by the farmers, and the county court is
giving whatever help and encourage
ment il can to the movement.

working "Solomon's Mines" has been
launched in New York. A company
under the name of Standard Iron COM

lies buried at Diablo Canon, near Hol-
brook. Ariz. This meteor struck the
earth probably many centuries ago.
a 8 the Indians who live in that region,
have no legend in regard to the Won
derful event.
The location of the meteor is marked
by a hole in the ground, about three
fourths of a mile long and 600 feet
deep. The surrounding country for
distance of several miles is alleged to
be covered by the fragments OF that
heavenly visitor. They have furnished
much interesting material for inves-
LEGATIONS by mineralogists. Some OF
the fragments weighed many tons ana
brought rich returns of silver, gold
and lead. when shipped to the smelter.
All of the fragments that have been
analyzed run high in lead, silver and
gold.

Odell said: I'm October Hyde came

it was a stigma against the Equita-

OdelI said that so far as he knew
no campaign expense money came to
llim from insurance companies. He
said it might have come directly from
the committee or Senator Platt. He
did not know Andrew Hamilton or
Fields. He said his case against the
Mercantile company was strong one
and if tried he would have undoubt-
edly shown gross frauds. Hughes said
that certain statements of Hyde made
necessary this line of inquiry. Odell
with great fervor said There is no
truth in these statements, so help me
God Odell said the reason the Am
bier bill was passed was that the
Mercantile company was unloading
on the public securities that were
proving absolutely worthless and it

such bill would correct the abuses

Senator Depew was called. He ap-
peared somewhat aged and worn.
He didn't know anything of the
Squires and Hartley accounts until
this investigation. He had heard of
campaign contributions, but had
nothing to do with them and did not
solicit them. He said he opposed po-
litical donations by insurance COM
panies. He told of syndicate opera
tions. He said ne first participated
in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
syndicate conducted by Squires. He
said:
Il expected to meet any call Had I
known that it was Equitable money
would have decloned sh shrdluuu
would have declined to participate"
He stated that in four cases ne made
a profit of s21.319.1S. In the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine he invested
$500 900, making a profit of a little
over $1,000. One hundred thousand
dollars of his money is still tied up.
He did not know the basis on which
Hyde "and associates" made allott-
cents.
Depew said that he was retained to
give advice to the elder Hyde at
$4,000 yearly. 1t was customary for
Hyde to go home each morning and
evening. After the elder Hydes death
the witness said the young Hyde told
him that it was the dying request OF
his father that Depew continue as
counsel He never heard Of FfeFa >
and did not know that Hamilton was,
connected with the Equitable. He +,
said that wnen a loan was made
to the Depew Improvement company
ne had nothing to say, as he was not
then interested in the company and
did not join until five years after the
company was formed. He knew Of no
other loan made by the Equitable to
concerns he was in.
Depew said that Hyde approached
him regarding the possibility Of his
appointment as ambassador TO
France. Depew told him ne was not
familiar with public affairs. Later
Depew spoke to the president, who
said he had looked up Hyde and found
his appointment impossible.
