For Good Roads.

The Highway Division of the Maryland
Geological Survey is rushing work on
the preparation of plans and estimates
for the State Highways, and as soon
as Spring opens and the roads become
firm enough for engineering oper-
atoms, will bend effort to complete field
work so that construction on at least one
road in every county applying may be
begun as soon as the weather permits of
construction.
At the end of the seasons work Mary
land will have in every part of the State
one or two pieces of we'll constructed
road which next winter and spring will
be samples of what is to come when
Maryland has completed this scheme
for the improvement of her highways.
1t is to be regretted that so much un-
easiness has been caused by uncertainty
as to the LEGALITY of the law, and later
that doubts should have been raised as to
the payment of the claims for road work
when presented to the Comptroller by
the counties. Owing to the efforts of the
friends of good roads there can now be
no doubt as to either of these points.
The decision of the Court Of Appeals is
we'll known, and the view as to the second
point by the Attorney General and Mr..
J. J. Donaldson, one of the best known
constitutional lawyers in the State, shows
that no fears need be entertained.
Mr.. Donaldson, who prepared the brief
in the case of Baltimore County to test
the constitutionality of the Shoemaker
Road Law, which was upheld by the
Court of Appeals, gave an interview in
which he said that the State Comptroller
has no discretionary power were duly
authenticated claims are presented to him
but must give treasury warrants to settle
these claims in the order in which they
are received. The Treasurer's duty is
equally plain-on presentation of the
Comptroller's warrant in legal form, he
is bound to pay the claim out of any funds
in the treasury not specifically appropri-
ated to some other named purpose. If
warrants are presented calling for more
money than is in the treasury not other
wise appropriated, he can decline to pay
them then, but they must be paid when
snch money does come into the treasury,
even if other general appropriations tor
the succeeding fiscal year have to 60 un-
paid.
The opinion of such eminent counsel
should set at rest any uneasiness as to the
money not being available this year for
the carrying on of the good roads work
made possible by the provisions of the
State Aid Road Law-and it only re-
mains for the counties to use every effort
to build as many miles as possible, with
tie assurance that when the warrents are
presented to the State Treasurer they
will be paid as are all other claims on the
State when legally presented in pursu-
ance Of the provisions of any act of the
General Assembly.

The April Smart Set.

In the novelette, which opens the April
"Smart Set" Grace MacGowan Cooke has
struck an entirely now note in fiction. 1t
is story of the West, so saturated
with the atmosphere of that part of our
country and so Photographic in its depic'
ton of ranch life that it will take high
rank among the best tales of that class
vet it is more as character study that
"The Red-Headed Woman" will win
praise The heroine is the most original
the most human, the most refreshing
who for long time has stepped from a
printed page. There is no reader who
will not be fascinated by her vagaries and
interested in her remarrab career.
The short stories in U.s. number cover
wide field. First of all, there is 3
wonderfully graphic tale by new writer
Julia Lawrence Shafter, which she has
called "A Realist." In it, with consum-
mate art, she analyses the intricate charac-
ter of forlorne crimina! who has become
subject of interest for a novelist in
search of "copY.". This story alone
would make any magazine worth while,
but there are other excellent tales, not
ably ~ William r. Lighton, who tells
how dead love was resurrected in "The
Shadow of a Shadow" by Mrs. Henry
Dudeney, who writes powerful English
story of 1888 in "The Swift Ships" by
Arthur Stringer, who goes to the Cana
dian frotier for the scene Of ''In the Dusk
of the Goddess" by Guy Bolton, whose
wit sparkles in "The Sign Painter" by
Inez Haynes Gilmore, who contributes =
delightful love story, 1.-The Gods of Hun.
ger" and by H. G. Dwight, who writes
charming story entitled susan nah and
the Elder"
Bliss Carman has contributed an essay
to this number, ION Having Known a
Painter" wherein he again reveals him
self as writer Of exquisite prose.
The poetry is far above the average Of
mag ,zine verse, and is written by such
favorite authors as Edith NJ. Thomas,
Clarence Urmy, iona Gale, Madison Cav
elm, Arthur Dawson Ficke, Mamie Byrd
Turner and Gouveneur Morris, the latter
supplying another instalment of his inim-
table verses, Below Stairs"
The April "Smart Set" maintains its
own high standard of excellence, and is
remarkable for the note of variety which
it strikes.

Another pitiful story of want and
suffering has been Uncovered in the
city. Mr.. and Mrs. A. Robbins, who
reside at Boone avenue and Colville
street, have more than their share of
suffering.
Mrs. Robbins recently gave birth
to child, which died Immediately,
and the sufferings of the woman are
increased by a severe attack of pneu-
monia. Two children have the same
disease.
The husband and father Is an In
valid and has no means to provide
the actual necessities for his family
even if they were in good health. He
has been unable to give them medical
attendance or the comforts sick peo-
pie should have.
TO add to the anguish of the be-
reaved and destitute family the dead
babe lay in the presence of the sick
mother and children; and the distract
ed father appealed in vail to the Of
ficials for two days asking them to

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1.-THE
car today issued an order of the day
to the army in praise of the heroic
defense Of Port Arthur by General
Stoessel and garrison. The order
reads:
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands of the enemy After a struggle
lasting II months, during seven of
which the brave garrison was isolated
without hope, nevertheless they sus-
tanned the siege, hardships, privations
and moral fortunes without complaint,
determined that the enemy would
gain nothing without paying dearly.
With a handful of men We withstood
the euemys furious attacks.

not this sorrow discourage you. our

THE two men exchange goods and

They are smooth thieves and very

e. Wilson, agent of one of the local
labor unions, made complaint to the
mayor this afternoon that Contractor
Costello was working his men on pub
lie work nine hours per day, CON
trary to the provisions of the eight
hour law, which has lately been de-
clared constitutional by the supreme
court.
Wilson claimed he had been unable
to secure an injunction restraining
Costello from working the men nine
hours because the remittitur had not
been received here showing officially
just what the supreme court had de-
cided.
Mayor Boyd sent for Corporation
Counsel Dudley, who gaveit as his
opinion that the work could be
stopped at once without waiting foi
the remittitur as the decision be-
came operative as soon as made. He

advised the mayor that the proper
course was to instruct the board Of
public works to notify the contractor
that his contract would be cancelled
if he did not at once comply with the
law and work his men only eight
hours day. -
The mayor said he would immedi-
ately instruct the board to take this
course. This is the method which
has been pursued in similar cases.
Wilson made the claim that sum-
mary action of some kind should be
taken by the corporation counsers Of
flee. Mr. Dudley explained that while
he was glad TO see to it that the law
was obeyed he never ''butted in
cases of this kind until complaint was
made.

business in passing worthless checks
in Spokane.
During the night preceding his ar
rest the man seated himself in a sa-
loon on Division street and calmly
drew up check on n bank in Occur
dAlene for s795 which he signed "A.
J. Stanley" When searched at the
police station Carey had in his pos
session another check for $795, also
signed "A. j. Stanley" but this
check was drawn on bank in Olym-
pia and was dated January 4, 1905.

The police are in possession of
facts which prove conclusively that
there is an organized gang of fences"
doing business in different cities,
which forms a chain from Spokane
to st. Paul and possibly to Chicago.
The existence of an organized band
of these fences" was first made clear
by information received here that
property stolen from the Hotel Spo-
kane has been found in an eastern
city in the possession Of a fence
there.
The police are working on the case
and startling disclosures will likely
be made soon.
The full facts in the cases now in
the hands of the police can not be
given at this time without danger of
defeating the plans of the police for
the apprehension of the members of
the gang.
The Press has gathered valuable in
formation showing the workings of
members of the fence" chain and
promptly impaired 1t to Chief Waller.
There can be no doubt that a pro-
fessional fence has been doing bust
ness in this city and that he is a
member of a gang which collectively
makes a chain extending half way
across the continent" said Chief Wal
Ter today.
I'VE have an accurate knowledge
of the workings of the gang and we
hope that our investigation of speci-
fic cases will soon bring results. The
amount of business done by the men,
bers of this chain is amazing.

FARMERS Want
CITY MARKET

A petition is being circulated
among the farmers, fruit growers and
gardeners of the county asking the
city council to establish in Spokane
a public city market where all farm
products can be offered for sale.
The farmers believe they will not
only benefit themselves, but also aid
the public by the establishment OF
such a market. They claim that the
quality of products will be greatly
improved by the open competition
a public market would afford.
1t is planned to lay the petition
before the council at it's next meet
ing,
