last ten years their efforts have re-
suited i'll proving not only the value
OF good-roads but the expediency Of
state appropriations, and in other
states in which the movement has
made any headway, the results have
justified the Inauguration Of the
state aid idea and proved an incen-
tive to further effort.
The south is awake to the needs
OF good roads and some Of her sena-
tors have been among the leaders in
advocating national appropriations
for good roads, urging that it is a
question Of expediency and as much
a function Of the general government
as is the dredging Of channels and
creeks and the giving of public lands
to encourage railroad building in
the west.

analysis Of cherry phosphate which
is being shipped to the upper part

Good Roads and Automobiles at
jamestown Exposition.

: Norfolk, Va. March 2S.-When for
greater speed and heavier hauling
the present mammoth locomotives,
with their greater traction power be-
came a necessity to meet the require
mcnts of land traffic, road-bcds,
rails and bridges were renewed to
meet the now demands upon them.
When horse-car gave place to troll
ley and the trolleys branchcd out into
the country, not only new mcchan-
zeal devices were essential but laws
were required to give this class of
public carrier the rights and privil-
eyes necessary to their profitable
operations.
The most material factor that
transportation will next have to deal
with, and certain it is that before
this new selfpropelling machine can
be brought to its full usefulness it
must be provided with suitable roads.
The bicycle and the automobile have
brought about propaganda for good
roads which the farmer with his old
fashioned vehicle ought to have in
sisted on having long ago. His awak-
ening to the material advantages of
good roads promises now indeed, to
be the principal Influence that will
give to the automobile its opportun-
ity.
The Jamestown Exposition is 60
ing to do something for the farmer,
the roads and the automobile. The
auto can push itself but it doesn't
lay its own track though q self-track-
laying machine was invented once
and described and illustrated in the
papers. The exposition is going 70
show what good road is--many
kinds of good roads-how they arc
made and what an automobile can
do on them. very fine boulevard
is being laid and drawing near COM
pletion, between Norfolk and the cx-
position grounds at Scwcll s Point
and regular automobile service is
to be maintained. The War depart
ment and the post-oflicc department
are to experiment on this road, for
purposes each relating to its own ser
vice.
New Jersey is to have among other
exhibits, a specimen bit Of road such
as has been built in that state under
state aid and has been found to be
an economical construction, while in
so far as goodroad-building had ad-
vanced, it has fully realized all pro-
misses of great benefit, increasing
the value Of country lands, drawing
populations from city into suburb and
making a material saving in the cost

POKER BY PHONE.
Man Played for Another and Lost a
Big Pot.

New York Telegraph.
Sam Siedman was sick abed at the
last session Of the Friday Night Pok-
er Club, but he wanted to be in tho
game, SO he sent down Frankly
Litz with $100 and told him to be
safe and sane.
Litz lost the $100 before he got a
long breath. All but So. He showed
that into the center when he skinned
his hand and found three fou1s. Then
he cursed his luck that he had played
in the hundred before he got hand.
Charley Parker was the only one to
stay and drew cards against him. He
himself took two and got the case
four.
81 suppose this is showdown" "
said Litz to Parker "but got a pref
ty good hand, and if you want to get
play out of it, just wait there while
I call up Siedman."
Parker told him to go as far as he
liked, and ;Litz swung around in his
chair, took up the receiver and got
Seidman on the wire.
"Say. SAM" he said, "I lost that
hundred all right. Yes, all Of it. AL
readyq Well you never see such hands.
But, Sam, I got two dollars in this
pot and L hold swell hand. Parker
says if you say so / can play it for
what it is worth. Yes. What have I
got9 Oh, L can't tell you that. All
right. YOU'RE on. See you later.'
Then Litz turned around and rails
ed Parker 1926. To his surprise Park
er came back with another fifty. This
necessitated another go at the phone.
There's nothing to it, he told Scid-
man this time. "I got this guy skim
ned the length of the block, but he s
raised me fifty. Raise him9 Sure, I'd
raise him. Right-o.'
And he came back with another
fifty, and again Parker raised.
Six times in painful succession
Litz called his principal up on the
phone and got leave to go back with
his invincible hand. He had a wordy
war with him the last time, because
Siedman told him to call. But Of
course he had to do as he was told.
Here was 5000 in the pot by this time.
"Siedman amt got no nerve,' he
growled. "Says I got to call you and,
look here / got four fours; what do
you think of that?'
But as he reached out to draw
down the Pot Parker showed four
eights. He had held up a red and
black and drawn three cards.
Litz grabbed the phone and called
up Siedman for the last time essay,
Sam, what d'you think? I lost that
pot, Parker held four eights against
my four fours! Shall I come home 2"
He paused a minute and then hung
up the receiver, smiling foolishly.
"He says I better not" he told
the other players. "But I'm going
over and have it out with him.
"Cuse me, sir" interrupted the
dinGc attendant; "there's seventy
cents telephone charges

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Result May Be the Clearing Up of
Two Old Mysteries.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-An attempt to
murder woman with a knife in her
residence at 317 Aberdeen street
last evening and the arrest of her al
legged assailant may result in clearing
two murder mysteries that have re-
manned unsolyed for many years.
Through the statement of Mrs. Mary
Murray, 35 years old, who was found
unconscious on the sidewalk in front
of her house, it Is thought possible
that a prisoner held at the Maxwell
street station may be charged with
the death of woman in Italy and
that of a man in New York.
For five years, Mrs Murray has
cared for the living rooms of her fell
low tenant, James De Lara, who owns
a grocery in another part of the
building Yesterday De Lara COM
planned that she was not doing her
work properly. An argument follow
ed and De Lara, it is charged, attack
ed her with large knife. The wo-
man was cut several times before she
fed from the house. She tainted on
reaching the street and was found
suffering from loss of blood by PO-
liceman O'Connell.
After receiving the attention of a
physician, Mrs. Murray made state
ment to Lieutenant Thomas Coughlin
concerning her assailant.
DE Lara is not his right name"
Mrs. Murray told the police. HE is
known in Italy as Carlos Masteleno
and is wanted in Italy for the murder
of a woman in 1890. He escaped from
Italy and came to New York under
the name of Charles De Lara. There
he murdered a man at Canal and
Front streets and came to Chicago.
While in New York he owned the Ho-
tel Calabro and catered to immigrant
Italians"
To support her statements Mrs.
Murray said that De Lara. as he is
known. had several scars on his body
received in his fight with the man
who, she said. he murdered in New
York On examination the police said
they found the scars, but De Lara ex-
planned their presence by saying they
were relics of fight he had when he
was a boy. Denial of both accusations
was made by DeLara,t but he would
not tell where he was at the time of
TIE alleged murders.
The italian consul and the New
York police have taken up the inves-
tiga ton.

Not = Politician.

Mr.. Taft is a big man in every
sense of the word. There is no poll
tician leg-rolling or chicanery going
on about him, so far as he is aware
He is no match for the local politician,
bent upon being seem with the sec
rotary of war, and is unskilled in the
ways of such folk On one occasion.
since the possibility of his presi-
dental campaign has been bruited
about, he was forcibly made the guest
of three political leaders in a certain
mid-western city. dozen other
leaders were locked out of the hotel
dining room while the victorious three
prepared to make a local reputation
for themselves through their associa-
ton with the reEenerater of the
Philippines. Mr.. Taft smiled as he
always does, and accepted their hos
pitality. But imagine their amaze
ment when no arose at the end of the
substantial meal, made his way to the
day coach and closeted himself with
the heretofore despised dozen. to the
exclusion of the three schemers His
direct administrative mind had felt
the need of dealing only with such
things as came Immediately to hand
and 1t is safe to say he never for a
moment thought of the political fav-
ors and disappointments which he was
comforting uron the local celebrities.
His method. it has been said is di-
rect. IT is none the less pleasant for
all that, and none the less sincere,
