Der the homeless girls and devise some way
to better their condition.
Mrs. Sanders Johnston reported her visit
to the Junior Republic at the time of the
recent meeting of the bo:rd OF trustees.
Many of the graduates of the republic have
been paid the money which was due them
when they left the institution and are dong
well in the different vocations they have
chosen. The young citizens are paid for
their labor in the coin of the republic, and
when they graduate, this money, which
they have been able TO save, is redeemed.
dollar for dollar, in United States currency.
This method encourages thrift. and the
worthy citizen who leaves the republic will
not go out empty handed. 1t has been a
source of regret that when some of the
boys have gone out there We're not the
funds necessary to redeem their coin saved,
and the institution has been in debt TO
them.
It was reported that Mrs. Johnston. at the
Loan and Trust building, has for distrtbu-
ton a number OF beautifully printed
pamphlets illustrating the Junior Republic
with fine haif-tone pictures which VIII an
swer many OF the questions daily asked
about the work there. A statistical leafiet
accompanies the pamphlet, wf1ic j shows the
capacity of the institution. the cost or
maintenance and the different organizations
contributing thereto.
Among those present at the meeting OF
the league were Mrs. Fairbanks. Mrs. NJ. s.
Lockwood Mrs. Carman, Mrs. Merwin, Mrs.
McLaughlin, Mrs Stephens. Mrs. McNabb.
Mrs Maschmeyer, Mrs Ramsay. Mrs.

MARYLAND ROAD TO CAPITAL.
Legislature Gave $4,000 for Boule-
ward to This CITY.

The passage and signing by Gov. Warfield
at Annapolis of DR.. HIS bill providing for
the construction of a modern highway from
Baltimore to this city will doubtless mark
the advent of a new era in the history of
the two cities. The bill provides for an
appropriation of 800 900 for the construction
of this highway. $4,000 to be available each
year for three consecutive years.
The road will be built under the direct
supervision of the state commission on
highways, which Is composed of Gov. War
field, Comptroller Atkinson. DIR. Ira Rem
sen, president of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, and DIR. r. w. Sylvester, president
of the MARYLAND Agricultural College. DR..
William Bullock Clark, superintendent of
the Maryland Geological Survey, assisted
by w. w. Crosby, chief highway engineer,
will personally look after the construction
of the highway.
AS soon as 1t was announced that the
governor had signed the bill. steps were
taken by DR.. Clark and Mr.. Crosby to be-
gin the work of inspecting the prospective
route and arranging for corps OF sur
veyors to begin an outline of the plans as
soon possible. Mr.. Crosby will within a
few days go over the entire route and de-
termine, as well as possible, course for
the surveyors. As soon as the route Is de-
termined upon, the plans will be submitted
to the state commission for approval and
specifications will be drawn. Owing to the
tual work OF construction can be begun. 1t
is probable that the boulevard will not be
completed for several years.
Wherever feasible, according to the APP
preparation bill. the commission may follow
the route of the old Baltimore and Wash
ingtoa road and, when practicable. use the
old roadbed. Wherever necessary. the priv
ilege of deviating from the old course to
Straighten the route or escape grades or
railroads has been granted. 1t Is also stated
specifically tat the road must be not less
than 80 ana not more than 60 feet wide at
any point and, in case the course OF the sur
, veyors may pass through a town or village
where the main street does not permit Of
that width, it will be necessary to open
new route around the place
That the new road will be made of mac
adam has practically been decided though
| the results of the investigation by the sur
veyors will be laid before the commission
before any steps are taken toward prepar-
ing for the construction.
The boulevard will pass through Balti-
more. Howard and Prince George coun-
ties and will be known as State Road No. /.

FIND M4CFADDEN GUILTY
Sentence SuSpended-Court Divided
on BeautU Posters.

Bernarr Macfadden, publisher of magazines
which disseminate his health theories. and his
manager, Conner Reiss both Of No. 654 Broad
way, were found guilty in the Court Of Special
Sessions yesterday on three charges of display
ing indecent posters advertising the Beauty
Show in Madison Square Garden last October
which Macfadden and Reiss promoted. An
thony Comstock of the Society for the Sup
preston of Vice prosecuted the case.
The verdict a divided one. Justice Nc
Kean, presiding, and Justice Deuel. held that the
posters displayed by the prisoners were indie
cent. Justice Zeller said that he saw nothing
immoral in the pictures. The justices then de-
cided to suspend sentence. Mr. COmstOck OBJ
jected, maintaining that more severe punish
ment should be imposed. Since his arrest, he
said, Macfadden had been printing even more
immoral pictures in his magazine.
Justice Zeer differed with Mr.. Comstock.
L think my standards Of decency are fully as
high as yours" said Justice Zeller and don
see anything immoral in these pictures. Besides,
if he has been printing other pictures that you
think immoral, it was your business to pro-
duce evidence 10 that effect"
Mr.. ComstOck retired in some confusion, and
the suspended sentence stood.
