A special dispatch to the "Baltimore
Sun" from Trenton, N. j., says:
Maryland is to take New Jersey for
an example in the matter of good road
building, and the members of the Mary
land Good Roads Commission are going
to ride over the roads of this State to see
what they are like. The Maryland COM
mission will be headed by Governor
Crothers, and the visit will be marked
by the exchange Of executive courtesies
between the two States.
Some time ago Governor Crothers in
formed State Road Commissioner
Frederick Gilkeson, of New Jersey, that
he and the members of the commission
wanted to have look at New Jersey
roads. Commissioner Gilkerson at once
extended an invitation to the Maryland
Executive to come to New Jersy to ar
range for trip over the roads of the
State. Governor Fort was asked to act
with Commissioner Gilkeson in enter
tanning the Maryland Governor and his
companions.
Governor Fort and Commissioner
Gilkeson will meet Governor Crothers
and the other members of the
Maryland Commission at Cam
den July 8, at which point the

roads will commence From Camden

Prince Georgians Interested.

A meeting of the Columbia Poultry
and Pigeon Association among which
are several members from this county,
was held in Washington recently, when
the following officers were elected:
president, J. F. Devandorf; vice-presl-
dents, John R. Risdon, of Riverdale;
I'D. Sumner and Charles L. Blanton;
secretary, Miss Nellie B. Stone, of Riv-
erdale.
1t is the purpose of the association
to give poultry show in Washington,
during January of next year. and the
indication are that it will be the largest
exhibition of its kind ever held in that
city. Breeders from Prince Georges
county and all through the south are
deeply interested, as besides bringing the
poultry fraternity together, it will serve
to afford an opportunity for lovers and
breeders of standard stock to display
their chickens.

To Copy Calvert Portrait.

Miss Florence Mackubin, the Balti-
more portrait painter, has sailed for
England to copy the portrait of Cecilius
Calvert, by Gerard zoest, the property
of Sir William Eden, of Windlestone
Hall. Miss Mackubin's painting will
become the property of the Baltimore
Club.
The painting of Cecllius Calvert,
second Lord Baltimore and first pro-
prietary of Maryland, is said to be the
only authentic likeness in existence of
the greatest perhaps, of the Lords
Baltimore. No copy of it is in this
county. The Maryland Historical Socie-
try has photograph of it. Miss Mac
kubin had to obtain permission of Sir
William Eden to copy the portrait, and
it is regarded as tribute to her work
and reputation as an artist. Miss Mac
kubin upon her arrival in London will
go at once to Windlestone Hall.
Miss Mackubin has attained promi-
nence in both portrait and miniature
painting. She has received more than
local recognition, as is attested by the
acceptance of her work by the Royal
Academy aad by her miniatures of the
English nobility. Miss Mackubin's
beautiful copy Of Van Dycke's Queen
Henrietta Maria, the original in the
possession of Lord Warwick, of War
wick Castle, now hangs in Government
House, Annapolis.

party will proceed in Eatontown, where
the Colts Neck road is in course of con-
struction, and thence to Freehold,
Highstown, New Brunswick and on to
Jersey City, where Governor Fort
will bid his brother Governor good-by.
Every phase of stone road construc'
ton will be examined into during the
trip, as it is the wish of Governor
Crothers and the other members of the
MARYLAND commission to take back with
them all the information that is to be
had regarding the roads that have made
New Jersey famous.

Cup to- MFR. Stone, it is Said

The statement given out by Messrs.
Parran, Goldsborough and Mudd, in
which these three Republican leaders
accuse Collector William F. Stone of
violating deliberately a pledge made
upon his word of honor, created a stir
in Republican cirles Monday.
1t is supposed that the statement was
written by Mr.. Mudd and signed by the
other two, and for Mr.. Mudd it is ex
tremely moderate. Its very moderation
it is said, makes it strong, and it is sup
ported by the letter to Mr.. Stone from
Congressman William H. Jackson The
general opinion expressed among poll
ticians was that it "put it up to" Mr..
Stone squarely, and that unless he came
forward with something better than a
mere denial, it will leave him in an un-
enviable position.
Congressman Wachter intimates that
no politician will ever take Mr.. Stones
word again. An old saying of Con
gresham Talbott's is that the only
thing in politics is mans word" and
some of the Republican leaders are re-
calling ana reciting this saying now in
reference t. the Stone Parran- Mudd-
Goldsborough agreement.
Collector Stone returned home
Wednesday afternoon. He was
welcomed at Camden Station by num-
Chicago to complete his duties as ser.
CANT at-arlns Of the convention. He
has been in Chicago since May Sth.

UNKNOWN MAN CHOKES
GIRL NEARLY TO DEATH

Tacoma, oct. 29.-Mlss Rachel
Hansen, an 1S-year-old waitress
while going home Sunday night, was
thrown into the street by an unknown
man and choked nearly to death be-
fore released. The man made no pre-
tense to rob or maltreat her beyond
the choking and his conduct Is a mys-
terry to the police. AS she was pass
ing the man on a lonely street he sud-
denly seized her by the back Of the
neck and with a quick movement
threw her face downward upon the
sidewalk, then working his hand
around her throat, he choked her un-
iii she was black in the face.
When she was on the verge Of suf-
location he released her and took to
his heels. Unable to scream for help
when finally she staggered to her
feet few minutes later, she went
home where she was still blue in the
face from the choking. Throughout
the experience he did not speak a
word.
a search of the spot with lantern
revealed Miss Hansen's furs, hat, UNI
brella and purse. The man wore no
mask, and the girl is unable to ac-
count for his action.
A week ago a strange man enter
ed a house here and chloroformed a
girl and then quietly decamped with
out injuring her or robbing the house.

Also an ordinance accepting the i'm

in regard to Chestnut street. The
council discussed. but reached no de-
cision in the matter of joining with
the county in the rebuilding Of the
Lee street bridge. since il was not
known just how far the city's finan-
ces would permit such a work.
The street committee was ordered
to have Main street bridge repaired at
once to protect against its present
shaky condition.
The meeting was exceptional In the
presence Of every member Of the
council. and in the fact that it created
much discussion, but little action.

NEW YORK BETTING IS
FAVORABLE TO TAFT

New York, oct. 29.-Bets that Taft
will be elected were placed today in
the financial district at odds Of three
to one on the republican candidate.
The cotton exchange people who are
wagering are also laying odds that
Hughes will be elected, but there is
more Chanler than Bryan money in
sight.
There are no wagers that either
Hughes or Chanler will carry the state
by any stated vote. Chanler men are
getting odds Of 9 to 10 and to 10.
There was one bet of $500 that
Bryan would carry the United States
by a plurality of 10000.

Plurality,
OHIO AND INDIANA.
CONCEDED TO DEMOCRATS
High Authority on Political Situation
Declares That Struggle Is Now One
Between Republicans With Wealth
and Democracy With Organized La
Dor as Chief Auxilliaries-Taft
Leaders Said to No Longer Fear the
Result Since Money Is Assured.

Chicago, Oct. 29-"Another Bryan
scare running through the country
has aroused the republicans and ap-
parently insured Taft's election by a
small plurality" declared Walter
Wellman, who is regarded as high
authority on the political situation In
the RecordHerald today.
"The most noteworthy feature of the
closing days of the campaign is the
fright over the possibility Of Bryan's
success which has suddenly seized the
country. The first effect has been
to provide the republican campaign
managers with more than they dream
ed of getting. The second effect has
been to get a considerable part of the
business interests actively against
Bryan.
Apathy among the business men
has disappeared. The struggle is now
one between the republicans with
wealth and business as a coajutor
against democracy, with organized la
Dor and the unemployed as chief aux
ilary.
with plenty of money and the
business men discarding their pre-
v.ous attitude of indifference, Taft
leaders no longer fear the outcome,
despite the probable loss of Ohio and
-c1iana.''
