1t Pays to Build Good Roads

"Tf ere's man., said Director Viii
liam Bullock Clark of the Maryland
Geological Survey Tuesday morning.
who owned farm in Prince Georges
county, on the line of the new beule-
ward which we are building between
Baltimore and Washington.
"Just before that work was author
led he had arranged to sell the farm
for $47ee, but at the last moment the
prospective purchaser backed out. He
was afraid that the investment wasn't .
good one.
Then the Legislature appropriated
100000 to begin work with on the i'm
proved roadway. Since that time the
owner of the farm has sol d part of it
for $l2, 900, and he still holds the re-
mainder. That's sample illustration
Of the value of good roads to the COM
munity."
DR.. Clerk was talking of the resolu-
ton introduced in the Legislature Tues
day night, calling for the appointment
of a joint committee form the House
and Senate to confer with Governor
Crothers on the subject of road i'm
provements.
"The con struction by the State of
mai n arteries of travel, advocated by
Governor Crothers in the inaugural
message and by Mr.. Carville D. Ben
son." he said, "is unquestionably tho
next stepin the good-rosds movement in
Maryland.
1T will have two good effects. 1t
will give the State certain increased
mileage of improved roads, and it will
| stir up the counties to do more for
themselves under the Shoemaker law.
"Suppose, for instance, that a fine
| road is built down the backbone Of the
Eastern Shore, with branches to one OF
two of the county seats. 1t will be an
object-lesson to everyone on the Shore.
| 1t will be an incentive to the counties
to improve the roads leading up to it.
and l have no doubt that it will arouse
interest generally and cause great i'm
provement throughout all that terri
tory.
Maryland has made marked pro
gress in the matter OF good roads since
the Geological Survey was organized
Ia 1896, but it is still very far behint
New York and New Jersey and sucf
States. In the early days of the Survey s
highway work we simply acted in al
advisory capacity to the County Com
missioners, who had the work Of con
struction in hand. We made specifica
tions for them, offered suggestions an
tested the materials used in road max
ing.
"In 1904 the Shoemaker law wa
passed. That provides an annual aF
preparation to be used in road-buildinI
Of 5000, 900. Under its terms the Stat
pays one-half tho cost of the road, tn
county the other half. Each count
is entitled to a share Of that $500, 90
in the proportion that its road milsag
bears to the total mileage Of the State

POST T-SEASON SERIES.
New Britain Ready to Play the Pick
 of the League.

New Britain, March 2S.-The roller polo season closes on April II, and there is talk of a post-season series of games. The New Britain championship team stands ready to meet an all-star quintette composed of the pick of the other players of the league. It is suggested that such a team would line up about as follows:
 Higgins and Hart or Lewis, rushers;
 Wiley. center; Carrigan, halfback; ;
 Harper, goal The scheme is to play either four out of the seven games or three out of five, for a purse of $125 or $150, so as to make ie an object.
 Considerable speculation is going on as to whether New Britain will have the same team again next year. The players are reluctant to part company. Captain Fred Jean said yesterday afternoon he did not think the team would be kept intact. He is evidently judging by past experi- ence. He was on the Lowell team, which won the pennant two seasons. and they were broken up. This quin- tette was composed of Lewis and Hart. rushers; Jean center: Holder ness, halfback; Fox, goal. He had a similar experience with the Marion team of the Western league in 1905.

ALL SAFE IN QUAKE,
No Lives Lost In Mexican Earth
 quake Disaster.
CITY HURT BY SHOCK AND FIRE
Inhabitants, Terrorized, Seek Shelter In Open Plazas and Fields-Jail De- stroyed In Neishborips Town and Prisoners Flee.

City of Mexico, March Ex-Governor Damian Flores, the chief executive of the state of Guerrero, who is at pres ent in this city, received the first off, cial advices from the town of Chilapa, said to have been destroyed in heavy earthquake shock.
 The message to the governor says that, while a number of the buildings of the town were leveled to the ground, no lives were lost. The police quar- ters and the mayors office were de- stroyed and the jail badly damaged. Great Assures were made in the streets and open fields. In the boring town of Ometepec the jail was de- stroyed, and thirty prisoners made their escape. Troops are guarding the public buildings that are standing in Chilapa, but perfect order prevails.
 Many Residences LeveIed.
 Other advices say the town was largely destroyed, though no lives lost. Most of the buildings that were leveled were residences.
 Fl Imparcial, the government organ, received a dispatch from its corre- spondent in Chilapancingo saying that the town of Chilapa, thirty miles from that place, containing 15,OOO inhabit- ants, was totally destroyed by the earthquake and that fire in the ruins completed the work of destruction. The people of the town are terrorized. and many are praying in the open plazas and in the fields adjoining the town, the report said.
 Several hours later the same core spondent sent the following dispatch:
 Later returns confirm my first tele- gram. Chilapa has been shaken to the earth and reduced to ashes"
 Felt Quake 6 Year Ago.
 Chilapa lies about 115 miles south of this city. It was the seat of bishop and several important manufacturing plants. Among the destroyed build- ings is beautiful cathedral. It is re- ported that the bishop was killed.
 Chilapa lies in the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains. These noun tains are not volcanic.
 At about the time Chilapa was de- stroyed severe shock was felt in this city. Four persons were severely hurt. Calle San Francisco, the main thor oughfare of the City of Mexico, was cracked in places for many blocks. It was feared that the shocks would be repeated, and few slept soundly during the night. It has been many years since such successive shocks of any severity have been felt here. All of the injured were Mexican workmen.
