ACCUSES SHERMAN
The World Seeks to Implicate
Him in Land Fraud Case

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-The World in a
sensational two page story seeks to i'm
plicate James S. Sherman in a New
Mexican timber land fraud. and pub
fishes a story alleged to have been die
tated to its representative by Edmund
Burke. an attorney of Los Angeles and
former business partner of Sherman in
the New Mexico lumber and develop
ment company. $9,0O0.O00 concern in
corporated in 1901 by Sherman and 9TH
ers
The story. so it is claimed. is present.
ed by the World as it was dictated by
Burke Al Denver a few weeks ago in
the presence of Thomas NJ. Patterson. a
former United States senator. eX-CfOv-
ernor Osborne of Wyoming and W. J.
Thomas, an attorney representing
Burke. In brief. the allegation is that
sherman, Burke and others entered into
a conspiracy to secure thousands of
acres of valuable timber land in New
Mexico for one-tenth of its actual value.
and that money was paid to the New
Mexican land board to arrange the deal.
Dummy entrymen were to be used to
take up the land. The attempt to Sc
cure needed legislation by congress was
blocked in the senate. The conspirators
abandoned their efforts on account of
the activities of William J. Burns and
Francis J. Heney.
After having given the story to. the
World, Burke. so it is said. experienced
a change of heart and warned Sherman
that an exposure was coming.

WEARING OUT OF ROADS
VEXES ENGLISH SHIRES
Cost of Maintaining Highways
Has More Than Doubled
i'm Ten Years

The following information concern
Ing the increased cost of the mainte-
nance of English roads in recent years,
out of all proportion to the increase
of population, etc, is furnished by
Consul Frank w. Mahin of Noting
ham:
The causes of the increase in cost of
the maintenance of rural English roads
are two: The changes in the charac-
ter of vehicular traffic and the enorn-
Gus increase of the traffic. On the Not
tinghamshire roads, it is officially
stated, there are 10 vehicles now where
there was one II years ago. Central
counties like this seem to be the worst
sufferers in this regard, for they catch
outside travel from every point of the
compass. An official record indicates
that about four-fifths of the automo-
bileS traversing the main roads of this
county are from other counties.
The average cost per mile of main-
tanning the Nottinghom county roads
in 1907. Thus, while the cost in
creased but 81 in 10 years under former
traffic conditions, it increased SAC, or
IL per cent, in six years under the
present conditions.
Reports regarding some other coun-
ties show much higher cost and a
greater rate of increase than in Not
tinghamshire during the last few
years. The cost of maintaining all the
roads in Hampshire is said to have
risen in 10 years from s136.O0O to $685.
900. The foregoing figures are aston
lSnlng, Dut tney purpOrL 10 De derived
from official records. The total cost of
maintaining the rural roads in this
county last year was 100000, an in
crease of about II per cent during the
last decade. The increased cost of
road maintenance for all England since
1900 is stated to be about 20 per cent
per mile per annum-
A most vexing problem for road Of
fcials is what kind of road to make
Ordinary macadam is disrupted by the
suction of automobiles and the heavy
weight of traction vehicles, but is
claimed by many drivers to be the best
kind for horse traffic. Smooth compost
tion roads seem durable for motor We
hicles, but are objected to by many
horse drivers as slippery and danger
GUS At present no kind of road ap-
pears satisfactory to both elements
but experiments are being made in
this county which it is hoped will
eventually result in satisfying the
reasonable requirements of every kind
of traffic.

MOTORISTS DRIVE
INTO THE COUNTRY
Find Roads on This Side of the
Bay Being Prepared for
the Winter Rains
By K. K. PHOmmedfeu

The automobilists were again on the
go yesterday. They took TO the coun-
try roads, and those who could not
leave the city contented themselves by
driving out TO the beach and through
the Preside. The park and the govern
ment reservation were alive with motor
cars. From the number that were seen
it would have been supposed that there
We're none out of town
Some few crossed the bay into Marin
county and over back OF Oakland. but
most of them did not care TO make the
trip the crowded ferries and there
fore went down this side of the bay
through San Jose. Ii was not the
pleasantest riding. for the road makers
are commencing to work between San
Francisco and San Jose and between
San Jose and Gilroy This practically
puts an end TO the driving on this side
of the bay for some time. 1t will take
three or four rains to put the roads in
shape.
The popularity Of the Buick automobiles in
the eastern states is attested by the show
ing made in the states of Illinois and Nebraska
in the registration Of motor vehicles for the
month OF September. 1905 Out of a total on
610 cars registered during that month in the
state OF Illinois the Bucks headed the list
with a total OF IS little better than L per
cent of all cars registered. ihe nearest COM
petitor had but SO cars registered for the same
time In Nebraska - Bucks were registered
with total of but 10 cars for its nearest com
petitor.
Another proof of the modern efficiency Of the
motor car tires is shown by the record
breaking performances OF the White steam ears
on the circular track at Helena and at Kansas
City. All of the were Diamond
tires, without much a soft tube.
