Everybody Boosts in California.

john r. Lewis. president of the
Col"rado State Commercial Assn. had
the following to say about the way they
do things in California when he return
ed from trip to that state a short
tim ago:
Il; is the California spirit that has
ma, that state what it is. This is
bes, known by the fact that large
number of the contributors to the i'm
men>e fund of $500. 600 which is being
spent in that state this year for adver-
ftisIng are men on salaried positions.
Il lind that these men have invested
thelr savings in homes and real estate
and that, recognizing the value of ad-
ver;lslng to that state and that increas-
ed population and prosperous times
means an increase in the value of their
property, they aid in the advertising
fun
First of all, you will find that every
resident is booster for California, then
comes his own particular section. This
is the spirit which has enabled Califor-
nia to spend such large sums each year
for advertising and which has made the
state what it is today.

HUGHES AND INTER-MET.
WINS Denies He Will Ask Governor to
Interfere.

NEW YORK. September 12,-From
friend of the attorney general came the
statement yesterday that William NJ Wins,
special counsel for the public service COM
mission would in the next few days send
extracts of the testimony taken at the in
vestigation of the Interborough-Metrop
tan transit system to Gov. Hughes. ex-
pressing the opinion that the testimony
showed many causes for criminal action
against officials of the merger. and request
the governor to designate special counsel to
institute such action.
This request if granted by the governor
would take the matter out of the hands of
William Travers Jerome. the district attor
ney, who by law is the official who should
prosecute in such cases and probably put it
in the hands of the attorney general al
though the governor has statutory power
to appoint special counsel other than him.
1t is understood that Mr.. Jackson, the at
torney general. is anxious to have the gov
ernor designate him for the case. and for
that reason wished 1t taken out of Mr..
Jerome'S hands
When the report was called to Mr.. WINS
attention last night he denied 1t and said
that such a course had never been thought
of by him for moment.

~ TO several hundred, which filled the
walks and impeded the progress OF the man

clear a way.
Scrgt Joseph Wasserman used his club to
dispense the crowd and then he escorted the
couple To the l56th street station of the ele-
waited road. As they started up the stair

annual report and estimates to the Commits
sioners today. He outlines the various tests
made and the sampling of the various ce-
ments asphalts. oils. sands and miscel-

her of samples tested 1t was shown that
a total of II IL samples were tested by
this Office OF this total 1895 were brands
Of Portland cement and 80 weresampes of
various kinds of asphalt The remainder
were samples of oil and other minor ma
Jerials.
Inspection of Cement.
Possibly the greatest amount of inspec-
ton done was i'm connection with cement
which was ordered for use in the construc-
ton Of public buildings and other District
work The total number of barrels of ce-
ment tested was LOG. sos. The asphalts
tested represented ,'lSb tDuS mere NCio
thirty samples of petroleum residuum

and in speaking of this material in his re-
port Mr. HarGrOve said
The petroleum residuum used during the
year by the different asphalt paving COM
paniesc as a tuX to soften the asphalt in
the preparation of asphalt CementS was
manufactured by the Standard Oil Com

hCient to report at present.
There has also o"en devised two
pieces of apparatus. ore for the determine
ton of the waterproof quality of concrete,
and the other for yhe determination of the
bitumen in an asphalt mixture. By the use
of the latter it is expected to reduce the
time heretofore required (about forty-eight
hours to that of Iivr hours and with more
accurate results. Both of these pieces of
apparatus are as We. i'll the rough expert
mental state. and sufficient results have not
been obtained to warrant description of
the same in their present condition.
In his estimates COR the next fiscal year
Mr.. HargroVe asked thai the Commissioners
request an appropriation of $1,000 for the
purchase of new apparatus for the labora-
tory in his departm ent. He also asked that
