QUESTION OF GREAT Ma
TIONAL IMPORTANCE.

Pittsburg, Pa, March =z.-The
question of most importance consider
ed at the convention i'm this city by
the American Roadmakers' associa-
ton was the national reward bill that
will be introduced in the next con-
gress. The bill provides for the crea-
ton of the United States highway de-
partment and a fund of 100000, 900
TO be used in the payment OF national
rewards for the construction of pub
tic roads, under government super
vision. There is little doubt that the
bill, which will be introduced by Rep
resentatiYe Charles l.. Townsend, of
Michigan, will become the most i'm
portant one of all acts for motormen.
The bill provides that payment. of
$500 be made by the government for
each mile of gravel road built In
with federal specifications;
for each mile of gravel and stone
road, $3.50; for each mile of macada-
mized road, $1,000 The fund of
500, 100000 Is to be distributed at
the rate of $10.000,0 900 a year. Ma
tional aid is asked for on the plea
that the government has extended inn
mense sums for rivers and harbors
and II Is time that some money be
spent on roads. as the government
has expended elsewhere enough to
pay a thousand dollars a mile for all
the roads I'm the United States. All
interests united In demanding that
the national government take a strong
hand in helping the states build roads
that would enable the farmers to
draw produce more easily and econ
to market and give the
pleasure rider in an automobile an
easier ride.

FOR PURPOSE OF REVENGE

Ironton, Mo, March 22.-Julius

completed his SENTENCE for violation
of federal statute by appearing be-
fore a governmental department as
the paid representative of an alleged

of $4,000. The charge under which
he was convicted debars him from
holding any office of trust or remun-
GRAFTON under the federal government

he said: THE impression has gone
out that / propose to live for revenge.
This is a mistake. l have no such
purpose"
After declaring that he was inno-
cent of the crime for which he had
suffered he said that he proposed to
publish a paper, which would reflect
his ideas. His fight will be against
bad measures rather than against
men. He has prepared a history of
his case and 1t Will appear in serial
form in his paper He says the story
will not be sensational, but will be
truthful.

Tomorrow Afternoon Defense
viii Present Their
AffiddVitS.
ATTORNEYS WILL TESTIFY
TO SOUNDNESS OF MIND
They viii Swear He Fully Under
stands Proceedings
Against Him.

New York, March 22.-The Thaw
Jury was brought before Justice Fitz-
gerald in the supreme court today ana
told that they need not attend the
trial against until Wednesday morn
ing. In the meantime Fitzgerald said
he would receive affidavits from the
defense in answers to the suggestion
by Jerome that Thaw is at the present
time in condition of mental un-
soundness which makes him incapable
of advising his counsel or or under
standing the proceedings against him.
Fitzgerald designated tomorrow af-
ternoon at o'clock as the time for
the defense to present its affidavits
at the clerks office. 1t was stated to-
day that Jerome might have until
Monday to make response to the
showing of the defense.
Hartridge, of Thaw's counsel. stated
today that the affidavits to be pre-
sented in Thaw's behalf would be
made by his attorneys and the several
alienists who have appeared for the
defense. The affdavits will merely
state that Thaw at the present time
is able to advise his counsel and fully
understands the proceedings against
him.
THAT is what the law requires us
To say" said the attorney
1T is not a question as to whether
he is of unsound mind at all. The
only question at issue is whether or
not he understands the proceedings
against him. We claim we can pro-
duce overwhelming proof that he
does. We will submit documentary
evidence-Thaw' own writing"

May be ShOWery For Some
Days But the Worst
Has Past.
TELEGRAPH CONNECTION
HAS BEEN RECONSTRUCTED
Railroad Communication Cannot
be Restored For Several
Days Yet.

San Francisco, March 22.--The
storm which has hung over California
has been broken and the conditions
are everywhere greatly improved.
The rivers, running through the great
interior valleys and which flooded
vast tracts of land, threatening sew
eral cities, have fallen rapidly and no
more damage from that source Is ap =
pretended.
Telegraphic communication, which
for a time was interrupted in every
direction, has been restored
The weather bureau predicts clear
ing weather, although showers may
continue to fall for several days. The
railroad blockade has not yet been
lifted, but both the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe are making strenu-
Gus efforts to repair their lines, which
were damaged by washouts and land
slides.
Trains are being run over both the
ogden and San Joaquin valley lines to
the east, though not on schedule time.
Traffic on the Shasta route cannot be
resumed for several days, and the
coast line to the south will be block
AIDED for two days more.

INDIAN MEETS DEATH
BENEATH WHEELS OF
SWITCH ENGINE
Red Brothers Testify That His
Name Was Marcus
MOntOyd.

Owing to a Misunderstanding with
the witnesses, the coroner's jury in
quiring into the cause of the death
of Marcus Montoya, the Indian who
was killed by a switch engine last
night, was unable to reach a verdict
at its session this morning, and an
adjournment was taken until $3.50
o'clock this afternoon.
The jury met at the Borders un-
dertaking parlors at 10 O'clock and
examined the remains. but no wit
nesses were present to be examined.
Little importance can be attached TO
the verdict when II does come, how
ever. as 1t can be only death by ac-
cldent.
Three Indians who appeared before
the jury this morning gave the name
Of their fellow man as Marcus Mon
toya. In company with two other In
dians, he was stealing a ride in from
San Domingo on the first section Of
passenger train No. /, which arrived
here at about $3.50 last night. Mon
toya left the blind" at the depot
getting off on the opposite side. Just
as he left the coach and attmepted to
cross the tracks a switch engine
struck him, bore him down and when
his friends found him his body was a
mangled mass Of flesh. He carried a
bag of pottery and this also was
crushed to pieces.
The men composing the coroner's
Jury are Frank Quier, Mr.. Stern, John
Hart, Benjamin Boothe, Maynard
Gunsul and a Mr.. Lttleferd,

TWO GUNS HAD BEEN
ISSUED TO TROOPS

Washington, March 22.-Secretary
Taft today transmitted to the senate
committee on military affairs the re-
port of Brigadier General Crozler.
chief of ordinance, with reference to
the number of guns assigned to the
negro soldiers of companies b. c. and
ID, Of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, upon
the night of August 13 last, when
Brownsville was shot up.
1t appears from the letter of Gro
zier that upon the face of the lists of
guns, as forwarded by officers of the
companies, there were certain errors
arising probably from a mistake in
transcribing from property book of
the companies.
The effect of this is to raise a doubt
whether two of the guns, held by ex-
pert examination to have been used
in the affray, were In the arm chests
of company Ii, under lock and key,
and not issued to the soldiers as was
indicated by former report sent by the
committee of the ordinance depart
ment Of the army.

STATES RIGHTS OVER
ANY RAILROAD BLOT
TED OUT

Washington. March 22.-One of tho
most radical and far reaching move
ments in American politics has been
opened up in President Rooseyelt's
latest addition to his railroad policy.
State governments-so far as rail-
roads are concerned-are to be wiped
out. state courts and legislatures,
1t is claimed by the administration,
nave no jurisdiction to regulate rail-
roads.
That means that every act by every
state legislature, passed or being pass
ed this winter, or since last June, Is
unconstitutional and void. 1t means.
that two-cent fare laws. demurrage
laws, safety coupler laws and other
similar acts passed by the state legis-
latures, are worth no more than the
paper on which taeN are written
These matters are al to be hurri III
to the supreme court and before
Christmas it is expected that the con-
troll by states over railroads will be
thing of the past
And this refers to within state as
well as between state carriers.
The constitution gives to congress
power over interstate commerce. Up
to the passage of the rate law the fed
eral government had not assumed
full power over commerce between
the states. In the passage of that
act the federal government took full
authority over railroads. IT took au-
thority over traffic affairs safety de
vices and terminals
1t took charge of local and through
rates, and even of the movement of
trains. Nothing remains for the
states.
The president, in his opinion that
states have no control even over with
in state railroads, Is backed up by an
opinion by Chief Justice Marshall ina
the case of Ogden vs.. Gibbons in
which that great jurist held that
steamship plying between New York
and Albany was engaged I'm inter
state commerce, although it did not
go outside of local state waters
Here is the gist of the matter. A
state government cannot control alb
solutely the commerce within its owr
geographic borders without hamper
ing the control of interstate COM
merce So on all matters of control
on which the federal government
speaks it must be supreme. Having
spoken i'm the rate law on practically
all points, the state legislatures have
no rights left.
These are the questions which the
railroad presidents want TO discuss
with President Roosevelt Their
opinions are more or less divided, but.
for the most part. they are disposed
To take the federal end Of the dilem-
ma. II is a case of accepting one
devil rather than furty-siN.
1t Is not TO be expected that state
politicians and governments will
quietly submit to being stripped of
their power over common carriers.
The old ante-bellum cry of state
rights is certain To be raised.

MINING COM
PANY RUSHING WORK.

New York. March 22.-The direc-
tors of the Nipissing Mining company
have given orders that work shall
be pushed largely, and to that end,
at the meeting of the directors 1t
was ordered that the mems quarters
be greatly enlarged at the mines so
as to accommodate 500 to 400 more
men. This action was taken as the
company contemplates materially in
creasing its operations in the spring
1t is understood that other matters
were considered, including the build
ing of a spur of the government rail-
road into the mines. but nothing
definite was done. There will be no
passing of dividends, the financial
condition being excellent, as there is
about 100000 in the company's
treasury in cash.

TEIE-
GRAPH WIRES IN ENGLAND.

London, March 22.-AI recent
postmasters-general in Great Britain
have been enthusiastic supporters of
underground telegraph wires, the
Telegraph business here being in the
hands of the government, the post
office department. The settld pol
icy of the department, in whose
hands the whole telegraph service of
the country is placed, is to proceed
steadily, as funds are available, with
the burying of the main trunk lines
throughout the country, and in the
course of the next few years it is
expected that all the large towns of
England and Scotland will be thus
connected. Telegraphic communica-
ton will then be secure from the
widest gales and from partial in
terruptions that are often annoying
and expensive. The repairs account
will, Of course, be very largely re-
duced, and great security will be CIV
en- to the service, by eliminating so
many chances of disturbance of the
wires and communication.

FOUR RDAYSFR0M
NEW YORK TO
HAVRE
Thirty Three Knot Boat Pro
Posed by Lewis Nixon.
Designer.

New York. March 22.-Within IS
months there will start out from the
port of New York the first vessel ever
attempting to cross the Atlantic from
shore to shore in four days.
That this can be accomplished with
comparative ease Is to be demons
trated by Lewis Nixon, the designer
and builder of the craft.
That the ship is to be one Of war
and not peace was stated by Mr.. Nix
on at his office in this city early in
the week.
The first four-days vessel is to be of
the destroyer type, propelled by five
screws, each driven by an Internal
combustian engine of $4,000 horse
power in all. The indurance of the
destroyer is 5000 miles at a speed of
80 knots, and her top notch speed is
to be S3 knots.
Carrying a heavier armament than
ever before installed on a war vessel
Of similar size, the destroyer will
mount five inch riled cannon, besides
an unusual number of torpedo tubes
and small rapid fire guns
While Mr. Nixon for the present
keeps silent as to the nation for which
The destroyer is to be built, 1t is not
unreasonable to suppose that the Rus
sian government for which he con-
structed a torpedo fleet, is at least in
terested,
Il said at the dinner the other
evening that before I stopped building
vessels, l wish to build one to cross
the Atlantic in four days or better,
and / am going to do it," said Mr,
Nixon,
Compared with the Deutchland of
the Hamburg American line, the fast
est vessel TO ever make the trans-At-
lantic trip, which has a record speed
Of 1855 knots an hour the new four
day boat will be of less than one
eighth the displacement of the great
liner.

NATIONAL FRAN
CH|SES ARE
PROPOSED
Movement to Show UP Roads
With Wdtered
Stock.

Washington, March 22.-Instead OF
a federal license for interstate corpor-
ations under which the government
may wise stock issues, the proposal
now being considered by the inter-
state commerce commission Is to re-
quire roads that are to be known as
good roads" to take out a national
franchise.
This is to be one of the steps to be
taken to place the railroads under
complete regulation by the federal
government and lift them out of dual
regulation by the states through
which they pass.
1t is regarded here as the biggest
proposal yet made to the country. 1t
may involve an amendment TO the
constitution which a very difficult
thing to bring about.
If 1t can be done without this the
railroads are expected to bow the
knee to the federal government before
the end of the next session Of congress
in return for protection from the
states and as an additional advantage
they will get sort of "OK" that their
securities are not watered.
A law requiring interstate railroads
to take out national franchises would
in the opinion of experts of the Inter-
state commerce commission make the
roads amenable and responsible to
such conditions as the federal govern
ment might impose, and would re-
move them from regulation by state
legislatures. This Is the idea prevail
ing at present among those most ac-
tive in working out the details of the
plan and is the object aimed at by the
railroads.
Commissioner Clements believes It
Will first be necessary to amend the
federal constitution.

Train Runs Into Street Car
in Detroit Injuring
Eleven.
TWO WERE FATALLY AND
OTHERS SERIOUSLY HURT
Pennsylvania Train Wrecked But
No One Hurt--TrdCk WAS
Tempered With.

Detroit, March 22.-Two persons
were fatally injured and nine others,
all girls, were more or less seriously
hurt, today, when a street car was
struck by a Michigan Central railway
train. The car had got past the gate
at the crossing before the oncoming
train was sighted.
The view was obstructed and the
engineer did not see the street car
until too late to stop his train. The
engine struck the car in the middle,
splitting 1t in two and hurting the
wreckage a distance of fifty feet.
