Bryan Given Ovation.

Pittsburg, Pa, March l2.-The
fourth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Road Makers Association convened
here today in the Carnegie Music Hall,
Schenley, Pa. The meeting is the lar
gest one ever held by the Association,
and over $500 delegates, representing
thirty-eight States, together with many
prominent men from all parts of the
country are in attendance.
Today's session was one of speech
making. Noteworthy addresses in the
interest of good roads were made, and
much enthusiasm was evinced by the
delegates.
One of the unexpected features of the
meeting today was the appearance of
William ]. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan lectured
last night at Washington, Pa, near
here. When James H. Mcdonald, of
New Haven, Conn, president of the
association, heard that Mr.. Bryan was
so near Pittsburg he extended an invi-
tation by telephone which Mr.. Bryan
accepted. His remarks for the advance
ment of good roads were warmly re-
ceived and the convention gave him an
ovation.

KNOXVILLE Goes Dry.

Knoxville. Tenn, March 11.-Knox-
vile, by majority of nearly two thou
sand votes, decided today that the sa-
looms must go. Under a State law
granting Incorporated cities the right
to say whether or not they desire sa-
looms, an election was held as an ex-
preston of sentiment. The result was
majority of 1921 for temperance.
The Legislature convenes tomorrow
following a recess, when bill will be
introduced abolishing the present char
ter, and re=incorporating without sa-
looms. Six months time will be given
the saloons in which to close. Today's
election was featured by memorable
scenes. Five thousand women and
children parade6 the streets before the
polls opened, and all during the day
women worked at the polling places
requesting the men to cast their ballots
for the temperance cause.
