PARDONfD.
Man Who Killed a Night Ri(er
Receives a Full Pardon.
THE LAWS MUST Be UPHELD.

In OnelDy county In June, New
ton Hazlett, a supposed night
rider, was shot and killed by Wal
ter Duncan, who, accompanied by
Riley Harrod, was guarding his
tobacco barn from threatened
raid by night riders. Duncan CT n
MESSED that he killed Hazlett and
claimed self defense. He and
Harrod were indicted and the case
had not been disposed of.
In fulfillment of his promise to
pardon without trial any man who
may kill another in defense of his
life or property, if endangered by
night riders, Governor Wilson on
Wednesday granted pardons to
Duncan and Harrod.
After dealing at length with the
conditio ms prevalent in Kentucky,
and especially in Shelby, and re-
citing the occurrences of that
night, Governor Wilson in his
pardon says:
NO ROOM FOR DOUBT IN CASE.
OF course, the Governor should
not interfere except when he actu-
ally knows that the defendant was
acting in self-defense and in the
protection of his home and in the
way In which he had been asked
by the Governor to act. But in
this case there is no room at all TO"
doubt that Mr.. Duncan has acted
nobly, bravely and faithfully as
any man ever did on earth; that he
took his life in his hands to uphold
the law, defend his property and
repel the attack to be made upon
it by the band of which Hazlett
was undoubtedly an advance men,
Der, who had gone ahead to cut
wires and reconnoiter, and if Dun
can is not pardOned, but is sub
jected to the expense of employing
lawyers and the anxiety of going
through trial, his attempt to do his
duty bravely results in punish
ment, instead of reward, and the
Governor feels it his duty in every
such case to inquire with the great
est care, first to be sure that the
defendant was acting in self-de-
Tense against attack, but when this
is found to be true, the Governor
intends in every such case to re-
lieve the defendant of the need of
employing counsel or of the hard
ship of undergoing trial.
DUNCAN AND HARROD BRAVE MEN
There is no doubt whatever
that both Duncan and Harrod were
true and brave men, doing their
duty and l do not know any more
imperative call upon me for the
exercise of the power given me to
pardon men than that which is
presented by this case, and in rec
ognition of the useful, honorable
and brave part which they have
had in unfolding individual lib
erty and in depressing violence and
crime, | grant to each of them
full and free pardon and direct
that no further prosecution against
either of them on these charges
shall be had.

BATTLE SCARED
Naval Officer RetireS to Private
life--SaW Service For 48
Years. =

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans.
having reached the age of 62 years,
went on the retired list August IS,
and many Of his friends and ad-
mirers gathered at Lake Mohonk.
N. T., where the Admiral is re-
cuperating, to express their appre-
citation of his services to his coun-
try.
This distinguished O fiji Ger,
Fig hting Bob" entered the navy
when he was IA years of age and
there he spent As years. During
the Spanlsh-American war he
commanded the New York in the
naval battle at Santiago. Re-
Gently he was in command of the
fleet as far as San Francisco on its
voyage around the world. From
the press report of the celebration
at Mohonk we gather the follow
ing:
The Admiral strongly asserted
that the United States is in duty
bound to maintain large navy.
He declared that he has always
held that our best guarantee of
perpetual peace is to be so strong
that other nations will be afraid of
us.
NEED FORTY-EIGHT BATTLEsHIPs.
I'VE should have twenty-four
battleships in both the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans" said the Admiral.
Sixteen of these should be in COM
mission in each ocean all of the
time, with eight held in reserve"
The Admiral expressed it as his
opinion, formed through a long
service and study of naval needs.
that such a fleet of battleships
would not only guarantee peace,
but would have inestimable value
in promoting American trade in
terests in all quarters of the globe.
Mr.. Simmons, of New York,
who eulogized the Admiral, said:
Now, that we have become "A
world Power, and now that our
domestic affairs, as well as our re-
sponsibilities in the Philippines,
at Panama, in Hawaii, in Cuba
and Porto Rico, subject us to con-
slant danger from the jealous and
ambitious aggressions of great ma
val establishments in Europe as
well as in the Orient, it stands to
reason that both prudence and
duty now demand that we do pre-
cisely what our kinsmen in the
British Isles long ago found abso-
lutely necessary to their self pres
eryation."
President Roosevelt in letter,
after speaking of the Admiral's
career and debt of gratitude due
him, said:
1t is emmipently appropriate
that the reception to Admiral Ev-
ans should be given in what YOU
well call "a veritable temple Of
peace" for the United States navy
is the best guarantee of peace we
have, and all men who believe in
the peace of justice throughout
the world should do everything
that in them lies to maintain and
build up this navy.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Washington and Paris streets.

Two cities which have in the past
acquired perhaps a higher reputation
for street paving than any others
Paris. France, and Washington, D.
C.have recently been criticised as
falling to maintain this reputation.
Representatives of a Paris daily, in
order to call attention to the poor
condition Of the pavements, recently
placed three ducks In puddles formed
by rain in the pavement of the Place
de IOpera, the holes being deep
enough to permit the ducks to swim
in them. This place is the centre OF
the pleasure district OF the city,
where one would imagine especial at
tention would be paid to the appear
ance of the streets.
Washington, d. O., was for years
referred TO as having a greater
length OF first-class asphalt pave
ments than any other city. In
length she was some years ago sur
passed, and Mr.. Macvicar, secretary
Of the League Of American Munich
palities, last Amonth quite severely
criticised the character OF her pave
ments. The explanation by the
Washington Engineering Department
was that Congress had withheld in
creased appropriations for repairs UNI
til recently, and that they had not
since then had time to catch up with
their repair work There is possibly
significance in the word I'm
creased" which apparently indicates
that asphalt pavements cost more to
maintain than they did some years
ago.
The experience of these two cities
may serve to console certain others
which are having trouble keeping
their pavenents in repair. As mat
ter of fact, this same trouble is being
experienced In very large number
OF cities in this country. Some of
it is undoubtedly due to the fact that
considerable number Of the older
pavements have about reached the
limit Of their useful life; but we fear
that much is to be attributed to de-
fective construction and materials In
new pavements and to lax mainten-
ance. Municipal Journal.

AMERICAN WOMAN JOCKEY"
The Paris Newspapers Make a Dis.
covery Which Lacks Only Truth.


The French papers look upon
America as the Romans did upon At
RIGA, as the place from which some
thing new is ever to be expected
Their latest discovery is briefly
summed up in the following head
lines: IAN Amazon" After the
female cabdriver the female jockey. .
'.She comes from America" "She
trains at Chantilly," will she get a
license?''
With these and similar heads the
Paris papers have been proclaiming
the arrival of a Miss Mary Money
from America with the ambition of
riyalling Tod Sloan. They go on to
tell of how she was to have inaugu-
rated the Compiegne race meeting
last week with an exhibition ride, but
that a slight accident prevented her,
and they discuss at length whether
the Jockey Club will or can grant a
license.
Unfortunately for this picturesque
story, which the French papers find
SO essentially American, it has no
foundation. To begin with, the lady's
name is Miss Ethel Money; she is not
American, does not come from Amer
lea and is not dreaming of being a
Jockey. She is members of the well
known English family of Money,
which is closely connected with the
banking firm Of Coutts and is well
known in the world of letters. 1t is
true that Miss Money has visited
America, where she hunted with Mr..
Golfers and other packs.
Almost the only true point in the
story is that Miss Money is staying at
Chantilly. But it was not her inter
est in horses that took her there.
When she arrived in Paris she re-
membered a story she had often
heard told that her great aunt, the
Baroness Burdett-Co and the
Duke d'Aumale had agreed that
should the French Gocernment ever
seek to take Chantilly castle from
him he was to say that he had sold it
to the Baroness. The necessity never
arose, and the Duke succeeded in CIV
ing his castle and grounds to the
people and at the same time avoided
allowing the State becoming its own
er by arranging that on his death it
was to go to the Academic Franchise
in trust for the nation
This recollection made Miss Money
wish to see Chantilly, where to her
surprise she found also town de-
voted to the training of racehorses.
Many of the trainers were only too
glad to entrust their horses, among
which are the finest steepleehasers
in the country, to so fine rider as
Miss Money, so that she quickly de-
termined to stay, until hunting really
begins in England, in spot where
she had perfect horses to gallop and
perfect country to gallop in. And
this is the whole story of Frances
American female jockey" - Paris

Gravel and Macadam.

In response to an inquiry as to the
actual cost Of Indiana good roads
and their quality, Municipal Engf-
neering gives some statistics show
ing that gravel roads in Indiana cost
from $1,000 to $500 a mile, and
average 1885, in twenty-one coun-
ties; and that macadam roads cost
$500 to $4,000, and average $24O2
mile. lii 1904 Indiana spent ST.
5O9,5S7 for building 1925 miles OF
new roads, or S2448 a mile. State
Geologist Blatchley has collected and
published statistics showing 68,285
miles Of roads in the State, of which
23,937 miles, or thirty-hve per cent,
have been improved, 20,5S2 with
gravel and 1856 with stone He
gives the average cost of ali the
gravel roads in the State as s1403.
and OF the stone roads 1921 a mile,
the average Of ali being $15O7.
Municipal Engineering commends
the Indiana system, which produces
reasonable good roads in large guam
titles at low unit cost. Indiana
spends as much money on it's new
roads as any State in the Union,
with, perhaps, two or three excep-
tions, but it has many times as much
good road to show for it as other
States, few even approaching this
State in mileage or percentage Of inn
proved roads. While road materials
are comparatively cheap in many
parts Of the State, much Of the excel
lent result is attributed by Municipal
Engineering to the system undes
which the roads are constructed -
