Officials Trying to Make Roads Suit
able for All Purposes.

Washington. Oct. 17.-"Dust Pre-
vcntives,' y by Provost Hubbard, issued as
Bulletin No, "a, United States Office of
public roads, is the latest contribution
to literature on road construction and
maintenance. Mr.. Hubbard's paper has
been prepared to meet the growing de-
mand by road engineers for specific in
formation on the important subject of
dust prevention. He has made a re-
search of all literature on the subject,
supplcmenting this with the results Of
actual experiments made by the office
of public roads.
Interest has been recently reawakened
in the problem of the prevention of dust
on country highways, the well-nigh uni
vcrsal use of the automobile being re-
sponsible for the additional study and
experiments. Road engineers are now
agreed that the automobile, when NOV
ing at high speed, is destructive to
roads, the broad soft tires
lifting the rock dust and scattering it
over adjacent fields.

pont Nemours Powder company, and II
other defendants, charges them with
securing control of practically all the
powder mills of the country and con-
Quoting them as one great concern in

terday's hearing was taken up in placing
on the record the compendium of
rules" and the fundamental agreement
which governed the old Gunpowder
Trade association These documents
were produced by Alexis I. Dupont, sec
retary of the Dupont company.
By the presentation of these docu-
ments the government is endeavoring
to establish the existence of Comblna-
ton of powder manufacturers from 1872
to 1902. known as the Gunpowder Trade
association
Attorneys for the Dupont Powder
company made no objections to the ad-
mission of this line of testimony, because
of their claims that such association or
trade agreements ceased to exist with

Caracas, Venezuela, Oct. 16.-That
the members of any revolutionary move

blockade of the Venezuelan ports will
be Immediately shot as traitors to the

The present determination of President
Castro. This is his answer to the ru-
mors and newspaper reports circulated
to the effect that under the cover Of
Dutch guns a revolutionary movement
is about to be undertaken to overthrow
the Castro government.
The one topic of conversation in Car
acas today is the coming answer to Hol-
lands second note, which has been re-
ported to have set November 1 as the
date for the annulment of Castro'S
trans-shipment decree, which has been
SO obnoxious to the people of Curacao.
Venezuelas answer is being prepared
with great care. 1t is believed that in
it will be set forth the reason why the
Dutch demand cannot and will not be
accepted or acceded to.
The danger to Venezuela today is not
in the strength of Hollands cause, be-
cause it is conceded that the Netherlands
government has no casus belli. On the
contrary Holland, it is asserted has the
weakest case of any of those nations
now at outs with President Castro, but
there are several nations, especially the
United States and France, it is said,
who would be glad to see Holland pull
their chestnuts out of the fire, and these
countries would probably stand by Hol-
