think we pay very high price for the
untrammeled freedom of the press.
But do not let us forget that we have
received an hundredfOld return for the
price we have paid. Through it main

are exploited the true defenses of the

sRowARo VS.. HlLsoN


Some time ago the Milton Index
printed a very severe article arraign-
ing Governor Broward for various Of
lenses, and especially for the govern
or's forgetfulness in money matters.
Mr.. HilsOn told of many incidents in
which the governor had borrowed
money and refused or neglected ID
pay back the same, and was also for
getfuI in paying his grocery and feed
bills.
Mr.. Daniel A. Simmons. private sec
rotary to the governor, without appris-
ing Governor Broward of his inteu-
tons, has gotten statements from
some of the persons named by Mr..
HilsOn, and they put an entirely diff
ferent light on these transactions than
that made by Mr.. HilsOn, and after
reading the two statements the con-
illusions of the reader are entirely
different.
For instance, Mr.. HilsOn said that
he borrowed a coat from Levy Bros,
for Governor Broward. and the coat
was TO have been returned the next
morning. The governor did not re-
turn the coat, and after several
months he (Hilson) got a bill for the
coat He demonstrated, told Levy
Bros. the coat was for Governor Brow
ard and asked them to send the bill
to him, which they did. The governor
paid no attention to it, and finally Hill
son was forced to pay it.
About which the statement of Levy
Bros. is as follows:
I'm our regular course of business
the bill was sent to Mr. Hilson. Il
was sent from month to month until
January, 1905. Mr.. Hilson came into
our store with the bill We had been
sending him and asked us to take this
item from our books and give him
credit for the amount, stating that the
coat and vest was not for him, but
they were for Governor Broward He
then charged this coat and vest TO
Governor Broward, January 10, 1905,
amount, $3.50, and shortly afterwards
it was paid for by Mr.. Broward.
I'VE deem it but just to Governor
Broward to say this. as some state
ments have been made rejecting oD
Governor Broward's promptness in
paying his obligations. Governor
Broward has a running monthly aC-
count in our store, and our books
show that his settlements have been
satisfactory TO Us. His accounts have
been kept up from month to month
since his Inauguration, and up to the
present date his account stands bal
anced on our books to May LIST, 1905"
T. B. Byrd & Co, grocers, whom Mr..
HilsOn said the governor was owing
for a grocery bill, Immediately wrote
TO the governor saying that while it
was true that he was owing a little
balance to them it was purely guess
work with HilsOn, as they had never
mentioned the matter, and he was at
liberty TO make the bill larger if he
wanted to- They regret the occur
renee very much and say that it is
calculated TO do the governor very
much injustice.
Some of the other men named by
HilsOn have left Tallahassee and it
was impossible for Mr.. Simmons to
see them, but the general trend of
what all the others say is that the
Hilson article creates a false impress
sion, and was written for that pur-
pose.
This paper did not print the Hilson
article, but as it made some illusions
to it, in justice to the governor il
prints the above extracts from Mr.
Simmons'S article.

test pieces were made UP by various par
ties and sent to Prof c. Bach of Stuff
CART for test. This work lasted about four
years, and the results have recently been
published in the Zetschrift of the Society
of German Engineers. The records of the
methods of preparing the test pieces and
the amounts of water used in mixing
the materials were forwarded with the
samples. Tests of samples made by the

Prof. Bach's laboratory showed that the
smallest amount of water which produced
a mixture suitable for ramming gave the
strongest concrete, but the highest de-

Larger amounts of water enabled less

SUBURBS OF BALTIMORE.
Statement Regarding Entire Village
To Be Created.

Whether due to the propagation OF the
gospel of the simple life or yielding 10
the call of nature, which comes at some
neriod to almost every human urbanite,
the tendency to seek release from the tur-
moil of city life and find peace and quiet
in suburban homes is yearly increasing.
This craving to get into a closer touch
with nature is confined to no particular
locality, but is to be found in all large
cities. During the last twenty years Bal
timoreans have been affected with this
warming. and as a consequence suburban
property has been in great demand. Only
q few years ago Gainesville was the only
suburb which made any showing OF a
community OF homes.
Since then Roland Park, Walbrook, Irv-
ington and Arlington and Forest Park
have been established, with their pretty
detached homes and tree-shaded avenues,
suggestive of reoose and bucOlic content.
Now a new settlement is contemplated
by the development Of tract of lao acres
in the northwestern suburbs, which will
be known as Forestglen, and when all
the proposed improvements are carried
out the enterprise will represent an out
lay of about $o,OO0OQO. Architect j. Ed
ara Laferty has been chosen to prepare
plans for the building of the new suburb,
which will include the laying out of ave-
nues and the general treatment of the
landscape as we'll as the plan for houses.
Many of these will be single dwellings,,
while the company will also erect a num-
Der of twin buildings with lawns on either
side.
The property to be developed is slightly
rolling in character. rendering 1t suscep-
tible of artistic landscape treatment. 1t
is this undulating characteristic which
has given Roland Park its peculiar
charm, and everywhere there is a sug-
geSfiOn of the English village S,Ich as
are found in Warwickshire and Surrey,
with it's detached villas surrounded by
sweeps of lawn and stately trees. Under
modern sanitary methods suburban exis-
tence has nothing to fear from disease,
which was prevalent under less hygienlc
systems. The suburbs around Baltimore
are furnished with urban utilities-goo"

There is not any very perceptible differ

tributed to their being exposed to any
particular severity of weather on certain
aspects. The influence. then. that charac-

cause may be reduced to the single cir
cumstance of the power of the sun, as it
