PEELED class. 1t is also thought that a
small pathway for pedestrians can be
constructed under the trees without
much additional cost.
Supervisor AleXander's short speech
was received with applause by the good
roads enthusiasts who filled the hall.
What we want in the men who will
make up the personnel of the highway
commission" said Mr.. Alexander, 'is
ability and honesty. We must also
consider the question of location, so
that those men in certain districts who
thoroughly understand their own part
of the county and are otherwise COM
petent will be appointed.
There will be no such thing as poll
tics connected with this new plan of
good roads. Absolute impartiality and
the doing away with all party lines will
be the chief aim of the supervisors,
and if the people cooperate with them
In the same spirit Los Angeles county
will soon be the paragon of America
so far as ideal highways are concerned.
"The question of suitable men on the
highway commission is one that re-
quires deliberation on the part of the
supervisors, and because of that fact
we will wait couple of weeks before
making our appointment. The names
mentioned here today will be well con-
Sidered and every man who is present.
ed will be looked up by us and If suita-
BILE be appointed"
Supervisors Favor Movement
Supervisors Patterson and Manning
also put themselves on record as being
entirely and heartily in favor of the
movement and the work that is at pres
ent being done to assure the county
of decent highways. They both stated
that they would do all possible to fur
ther the work of the Good Roads asso-
citation and promised both official and
private support when the time came
for real action.
1t was decided that no question of
bonds in connection with the new roads
would be mentioned until after the
Owens river bonds had been passed,
as with two sets of bonds before them
many of voters would be apt to con-
fuse the issues, and possibly defeat one
or the other. Therefore the question
of the $30O0,000 issue will not be dis
cussed until September or, at least un-
til after the government engineer has
submitted his report.
Another meeting of the association
will be called in few days and as soon
as the supervisors have made their
formal appointment of the highway
commission from the list of names
submitted the work will progress with
even more than its past celerity and
generally beneficial results.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 25.-About
100 well-to-do families of this city have
dubbed together to bring up and
educate their 400 children in common,
the disturb j condition of the country
having disorganized the schools. They
have hired a large building, to which
they have made extensive additions.
Here the children assemble and dele
cations of parents attend daily to
carry out the program Of instruction.
Free course Is given to the child's
will, no task is imposed, no punishment
inflicted. The child just attaches him
self to that teacher and learns that
particular branch to which he Is
attraced. There is large garden for
the children to play in, and all the
domestic arrangements are carried on
inside the institution and with the CO.
operation of the children.

Terrible Accident.

Burlington, N. j.. August. 9.-Plunged
feet-foremost into tank Of boiling tar, John
Antonio, foundryman, was terribly burned
at the United States Cast Iron Pipe and
Foundry Company's plant. at East Burling-
ton yesterday. While working about the
tank in which the big pipes were being dip
ped he in some manner stumbled into the
fiery liquid. As he fell he cutched the side of
the tank, preventing his head from being
submei ged, and saving him from instant
death. Fellow-workmen hurriedly fished the
suffering man from the tank, dripping from
his feet to his neck with sticky coat of hot
tar. The fact that the boiling liquid was
thicker than water prevented II from pene-
trating his clothing, but his flesh was literal
ly baked on his body and came Of in strips
when his clothes were removed. The nails
also fell out of his fingers and toes. The
burned man became deliriOus, and his ter
rible cries of agony nearly caused a panic
among the hundreds Of other foreign laborera
at the foundry. Doctors say that there ia
bare chance for saving his life by placing him
in salt bath for " hours, whereby it is pos
sible that new skin may form.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.

After being in session all day yester'
day the democratic convention in Bslti.
more last night cast aside Henry Will
liams, of Baltimore, and Joseph d.
Boxer, of Frederick, and nominated a
dark horse, Judge Austin Lane Crothers,
OF Cecil county, for Governor, who had
not been mentioned in the contest until
late Wednesday,
The other candidates nominated are;
For Comptroller. DR.. Herman S. Her
ing, of Carroll county; for Attorney
General, Isaac L. Straus, of Baltimore
city: for Clerk OF the Court of Appeals,
O. O. Magruder, of Prince Georges
county.
The following are extracts from the
platform: The democrats of Maryland
base their claims to support in the COM
ing fall campaign in that State upon two
planks-direct nomination of United
States Senators by the qualified voters in
primaries and the promise to constitu-
tiOnally eliminate the negro vote.
1t is made obligatory upon each dem
ocratic member of the legislature to vote
for the man receiving the largest vote in
the legislators respective district.
The convention reatfirms the declara-
ton Of the party platform of 1903 for
negro Acknowledgement, and proclaims
the "resolute purpose Of the democracy,
by all lawful and constitutional means,
to maintain the political supremacy of
our race"
The definite promise is made for The
party that it will submit to the people
"at the earliest possible time" an
amendment to the State constitution
(which, while entirely within the pro-
visions OF the fourteenth and fifteenth
Of the constitution of the
United States" shall eliminate the
negro voter, and yet protect the right OF
white, native-born, and paturalized citi-
zens, and meet the objections which have
defeated former efforts at negro disfran-
chisement in MARYLAND.

The New Rate Law.

Raleigh, n. O., Aug. o. With thu
new railway passenger rate law in effec
throughout the state for "a hours, big
increase has already occurred in the
volume of travel. Railroad managers say
this Means simply an increased loss, p
cents being less than the cogt OF trans.
portation. The State officials deny this,
asserting that the railroads will make
more money than ever.
Though tho new rate took effect early
yesterday the increase in bnisness has
amounted to nearly Is per cent. The
2 IA cents rate is, Of course, ineffective
outside the State line, and passengers
beyond can only buy tickets TO the North
Carolina border where the old 81 cent
rate is still charged.
Raleigh, N. O., Aug. 9.--Despite the
TACT that there was no conference today

Corporation Commission with the traffic
