OPPOSED TO SCHEME
FOR STATE ROADS

TRENTON, Jan. Ex-senator Geb-
hardt, of Hunterdon county, has
stirred up a hornets nest all over the
state by introducing in the legislature
a bill providing for an elaborate sys-
tenn of state roads, involving an i'm
mense outlay of public funds.
The measure provides for the con-
nection of the county seats of the
twenty-one counties with improved
roads and for the construction of
Improved roads along general lines of
travel. 1t is proposed to spend $780,
600 the first year and then when the
roads are completed to turn them all
over to the state for maintenance and
supervision. This would entail an
annual outlay of not less than one
million dollars, not to mention what
might be spent for further road ex-
tensions.
The present policy of the state is to
pay one-third the cost of all new
roads and then to turn the roads back
TO the counties for maintenance. Any
departure from this policy will be OPP
posed by the State Road Department
and doubtless by the appropriation
committees of the legislature. 1t is
not likely that there will be any rad
zeal change as is proposed by Senator
Gebhardt.

SENATOR COLBY SAYS
DRYDEN HAS NO SHOW

ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. 2S:-State
Senator Everett Colby, who is making
his headquarters at a beach front
hotel. is pleased with the anticipation
of seeing United States Senator Dry
den give a public hearing before the
republican caucus.
Senator Colby considers that the
appearance of the Prudential's presi-
dent on the stand will give a great
impetus to the reform cause and will
show Jerseymen throughout the state
that to send Dryden back to the sem
ate means the lending of invaluable
assistance to the enemies of the
Roosevelt administration.
Il suppose that Mr.. Dryden's re-
quest Includes the privilege of asking
him questions, said Mr.. Colby last
night.
II will say now that l intend tc
say in the open just what have said
in the caucus"
Senator Colby denies reports of q
I conference of anti-Dryden men here
yesterday. He spent the day mostly
on the boardwalk with Mrs. Colby,
who has been seriously ill, and has
received few callers besides newspap-
err men. The senator is confident that
Mr.. Dryden has now not the least
chance of reelection and that many
legislators will break away from mis-
standard after one more ballot.

DRYDEN WOULD
LIKE TO KNOW
Has Asked the Legislators Who
Oppose Him to Meet Him
at TentOn Today.

TRENTON. Jan. 2S:-United
States Senator John F. Dryden has
adopted new tactics in his campaign
fon reelection. He has sent written
Invitations to the republican mem
bef# Of the legislature urging them to
meet him in this city today. or at
theif earliest convenience, TO discuss
the senatorial situation. The avowed
purpose OF the proposed conference
is to give Mr.. Dryden an opportunity
TO learn at first hand the views of the
members and particularly of those
who are opposing his reelection. 1t
is contended by Mr.. Dryden that as a
matter OF justice he should be advised
as TO the grounds Upon w.hich some
OF the republicans refuse TO support
him.
This latest proposition of Mr.. Dry
den has been yariously received.
Some OF his more cordial supporters
in the legislature are inclined to re-
gard the move as a strong ote, while
othors more indifferent to Mr.. Dryden
are disposed to resent what they re-
gard rs an mtimation that they owe
Mr.. Dryden an accounting for being
against him, Information received
here Saturday night indicates that

the members believing that the wish

According to one report Mr.. Dry
den's friends are seeking to convey
the Impression that If sufficient rea-
sons can be assigned for mis- with
drawal from the race he will take
that course, bur as this would leave
Mr.. Dryden the sole judge of the
snfieieney of the arguments adj
vaneed, this report has not received
very much consideration. The more
probable explanation is that MIR. Dry
den is trying TO anticipate the threat
ened break in his ranks when the
legislature conyenes in joint session
tomorrow.

their wall pictures, made by prehis-

with the mammoth, the rhinoceros
and the reindeer in that country
Some of the pictures are engraved in
The rock, some are painted with diff
ferent colors. They usually represent
extinct animals, such as cave lions
and cave bears. A faithful represen-
'ation of the rhinoceros, with its two
horns of unequal length, is found in
a cavern at Font de Gaume. The pre-
historic artists made their paint of
ochre of various shades, pulverized
and mixed in mortars.
