Quently the selection of DIR. Jones means
much to himself and to his government.
DIR. Jones went on an extensive tour of
the far east in 1901 and made some re-
searches in both China and Japan, returning

DR.. Jones is one of the best-known news
paper men in Washington. He has been
connected with The Evening Star for six

pre- fession in the country.

born in this city. His father was John w.

school career early in the public schools of
the city and won four medals for proficiency

ed his education at Georgetown University,
accuitting himself there as creditably as in
the public schools.

lican national convention at Philadelphia,
where he voted both for Mckinley for
President and Roosevelt for Vice Presi-

committees of the convention, among them
that which notified Mr.. Roosevelt of his
nomination as Vice President. During the
campaign of 1900 DR.. Jones served an
assistant secretary of the republican ma
tional committee at Chicago, attracting the
attention of Senator Hanna and Henry c.

Senate committee national banks. He
remained with Senator Kearns until the
end of the latters term. Senator kearns

authorities there would be different
story to tell Probably it is for this
purpose that Mr.. Crosby has publish
ed a report of the work that is being
done in the various counties. From
this report a taxpayer may in any
county can determine whether the
authorities are looking after his in
terests in the matter of building good
roads, and if he finds that they are
not he should most assuredlY make
it his bushes TO see that they realize
the need for prompt action. Only
five of the counties failed to apply
this year for State aid, these being
Garrett, Somerset, Wicomico, Calvert
and Kent; but in several of the other
counties, although application for aid
was made, nothing further hos been
done. With the State paying half of
the cost, good roads are now within
reach of the every county in the
State, and, in view of the widespread
sentiment in favor of good roads, it
would seem that carelessness on the
part of the proper authorities is the
only excuse that can be offered for
failure this year to begin work in any
county.

STIRRING UP THE COUNTIES,

State Highway Engineer Crosby has
found it necessary to call the atten-
tion of the authorities in some of the
counties the fact that, though they
haye made application for State aid
in building good roads. they have
failed to carry out their original
plans, and that if they do not comply
with all the provisions of the law bv
August the amounts originally al
lotted to them, under The provision
OF the Shoemaker road law, will be
reallotted to other counties which are
ready and anxious to increase the
number of miles of good roads within
their limits. 1t seems unfortunate
that it should be necessary to stir up
any county official on the subject of
good roads, and there is a suspicion
in some quarters that if the tax-pay-
ers of the counties knew of the lack
of attention given the subject by the

4 RUNAWAY HORSE
Last Saturday Did Considerable
Damage and Hurt Two People.

Last SATURDAY. an electrical storm
passed oyer this section of the county
and did considerable damage, the
most serious result of the storm being
the injuries sustained by two persons
who were hurt by reason Of run
away horse which took fright at the
thunder and lightning.
The horse was owned by Mr.. Henry
Shaffer, son Of dr. Joseph Shaffer,
residing on the Deer Park road, and
was being driven from Oakland to
the farm by It's owner when it took
fright at the loud and incessant
thunder and broke away from its
driver while ascending the Casceel
hill, throwing Mr.. ShafTer from the
vehicle. The man struck on his
shoulder dislocating it and breaking
his collar bone. The horse went on
toward its home and at the Shartzer
placeencOuntered another horse being
ridden by one Of andrew STARTERS
little boys. The Shartzer horse took
fright also and threw its rider. The
lad struck on his head and was con-
slider .bly bruised about his face but
escaped without am serious injuries
The lightning struck on the wires
Of the Western Union telegraph COM
pauY and entering the Oakland Office
burned one Of the instruments out,
setting fire to q file of train order
blanks hanging against the wall but
the flames were extinguished before
any material damage resulted.
