GOOD ROADS IN MARYLAND.
Improvements to Develop Beauties of
Montgomery County.

| 10 the Edltor OF The Star:
The citizens of our beloved Washington
| should rejoice and be exceeding glad
| that the officials of Montgomery county,
| Maryland, have awakened to the import
| ance of good roads and have secured the
! services of that talented expert and sue
| cessful rural improver-Mr. Randolph Rap
! ley. If his plans for the Improvement of
what is known as the New Colesville road
| are carried out 1t will be one of the most
! level grades of any of the roads leading
| from the city, extending ten miles out. He
| is engaged at present in raising the stone
bridge over the Northwest branch of the
| Anacostia, thereby eliminating the heavy
grades from that part of the road. When
contractors failed him, he like true hero,
| shouldered the responsibility and did the
| work with his own farm employees The
word hero Is here not misplaced. The man
! who improves the ways of the people is bet
| ter entitled to it than the destructionist,
who kills by scientific methods Such pub
| lie spirit is entitled to the highest praise.
From the elevated bridge, looking up or
down the stream. stretches a view that
| must be seen to be appreciated. 1t is well
worthy Of the pencil of the best artists
Some American Gainsborough will some day
delineate its beauty.
Mr.. Rapley's next effort is to extend Car
roll avenue in a direct line from Cycle or
jackson cottages to the bend in the road
near the new buildings of the Seventh Day
Advenusts by high bridge over the beau
tiful Sligo river.

seventh son must have been inspired to
lead them to the healthiest spot on Gods
foOtstoOl. to say nothing of the sOul-elevat-
ing beauty Of the stream above and below
the bridge for a nike each way. These
beauties can be viewed by visitors in car
riages, is indicated by a sign on Sligo
avenue. That avenue is very narrow, but
perfectly safe.
The grand scenery of the Northwest
branch, extending to the Burnt Mil, dis
lance of over two miles, only be en-
joyed by pedestrians. Seekers of the pic
turesque will be delighted with the scenes
which present themselves in quick success
sion.
l hope the energetic mayor and town
council of Takoma Will see clearly the great
benefits to this fourishing corporation of
the bridge over the Sligo. 1t will aid in
making one of the most delightful rural
drives through the healthest region around
Washington, in fact, not surpassed any
where. If We may judge by the great age

Crawfords, Clarks, Jacksons, and others
too numerous to mention, have attained.

Marquette, Mich, May s1.-A great stir has

against stockholders Of the Mamma Cereal

Of $4,000.
The company was launched two years ago to

It Is asserted by the stock holders they were
assured that the shares were full paid and nom
assessable, and as the money invested is con-
sidered lost notice Of the suit has caused great
resentment and the promoters are being vigor-
ously scored.

Clear Case Made Against Him at Grand

Made in His Behalf, Gould Not Save

Grand Rapids, Wis. May 31.-The jury in
the case Of Abraham Karatsky on trial for the
murder of Ida Finkelsten at the town of Sara
toga, returned a verdict Of guilty Of murder in
utes.
but it took three days to try the issue Of in
sanity, which he pleaded. He brought witness
es who swore that about year ago when he
came to the town of Saratoga he told the neigh
bors about building a large machinery and
foundry plant, but it was shown by other wit
nesses that he intended only to build a black
smith shop. Other witnesses swore that he
told them about patent stove that he was
going to manufacture and put on the market.
This was a small contrivance which would
burn hard coal and could heat four or five rooms
with 1t by carrying it about from room to
This was explained by other witnesses,
who said that such stove was known in
Russia, where Karatsky came from; that in
fact it was only an iron bucket that could

testified to strange conduct OF the defendant,
such as running after cows and horses.
The defense tried to show that Karatsky was
insane at the time of committing the crime.
and thereafter. but when r. o. Wirerman told
after the murder. in the county jail this phase
of the question dwinded away. He told how the
defendant related in quiet rational and calm
manner all that transpired between the evening
before the shooting and the shooting in the
morning.
The state put George Finkelstein on the stand,
who that the defendant and his mother,
Ida Finkelstein, the murdered woman, had a
quarrel the evening before: that the next morn
ing at o'clock the defendant came to his
room and unlocked his trunk, threw all the
contents on the floor and took from. the bottom
something that he could not see and put It II
his hip pocket. Then took something that
ratified and put that in his front pocket and
went downstairs and stationed himself at the
rear Of the house. Here he waited until the
woman appeared and then knocked her dow
with his fist and began shooting at her. Thai
he shot four times, and that at the fourth
shot his mother hit and collapsed. The
boy picked up club and took after the muir
derer, but beaten back by the point o.
the gun that killed his mother.

NJ ]. Wade. formerly Iowa's only democratic

mittee. He was seen today and said: ~.
Il think thot the grand jury should be abol-
ished because whatever good purpose 1t may
have served In the past, under our modern
practice 1t is not necessary for the protection
of the innocent, nor for the conviction of the
guilty.
1T is a hearing in which the accused can
not be represented or heard; In which he can
offer no evidence except by consent OF the
state.
indictments are often returned which can
not be sustained when the evidence t upon both
than two-thirds of the indictments returned by
the grand jurles result In dismissal or acqulttal.
ut is unfair to the accused to have an In
dictment returned against him after hearing
in which he cannot be represented, because,
while legally an indictment Is only an accusa-
ton, yet in the public mind the indictment is
often equivalent to conviction.
1T is unfair to the innocent man to be
compelled, as he often is, to wait long months
after an indictment is returned before he has
an opportunity of presenting his side of the
case.
ut is unfair to the prosecution, because 1t
is compelled to 60 thru two trials instead of
one and it discloses to the accused the nature
of the evidence. often many months before the
trial. thus enabling him, If guilty, to manufac.
ture evidence to secure an acqutttal.
Tt involves large expense which might be
saved If persons were put upon trial directly
upon information.
SIN those states where the grand jury has
been abolished the courts, the bar and the public
| are we'll pleased with the change. In making
the change 1T might be well to leave the power
in the court to summon grand jury in cases
of peculiar nature. This is, l believe, the
rule in Wisconsin, but I am told that the power
