DUST PREvENTvEs.
pIana being Considered to Make Good
 and Dust Proof Roads.


 and Dust Proof Roads.
 xuoshington. D. C.. Oct. 10.-"Dust Pre- ,,antSves" bv Provost Hubbard, issued as Bulletin No. 34. U. s. Omce Of Pun- 1ic Roads Is the latest contribution to literature on road construction ana maintenance. MT. Hubbard's paper has heen prepared to meet the growing de- reond hv road engineers for specific Information on the important subject of dust prevention. He has made a research of all literature on the sub feet, supplementing this the results of actual experiments made by the Of1ce of Public Roads. Interest has been recently reawakened in the pro- blem of the prevention of dust on country highways. the well nign uni yersal use of the automobile being responsible for the additional study and experiments. Road engineers are now agreed that the automobile when moving at a high speed Is destructive to macadam roads, the broad soft tires lifting the rock dust and scattering It over adjanct fields. A road robbed Of this fine surface bonding material retrogrades rapidly. That indictment now lies against the modern motor car. but on the other hand the intro ruction of the machine has done much to awaken an interest, not merely In dust prevention, but in the entire sub feet of road improvement. Therein the automobile Is entitled to credit. It Is superhuous to add that clouds of dust are annoying, not only to the users of the highways. but to the residents whose property borders upon them. and that they affect public health and de- preciate the value of property.
 Mir Hubbard. in his discussion of methods of overcoming this condition divides the problem into two parts. first by applying materials that will hold the dust down, and second. by adopting q form of road construction that will reduce dust formation and the wear of roads to a minimum. These he says may be attained by temporary and by permanent" binders-ase under the temporary" Justification being materials which must be frequently applied. the permanent" ones being the heavier materials which through one application maintain the road sur face in dustless condition for sea- son.
 The author describes the manufac- ture and properties of tar. pointing out the differences between tar from coke ovens, from gas plants. refined coal tar, and water-gas tar. A chapter on the application of tars follows and brings out the fact that the painting of road surface with tar was consider ed in France as early as 1867, alth ough the work was not begun in earnest until 1902. The chapter contains clear directions for applying the material to the road, both used as a palliative

 New York Tribune
 In certain respects the most remarkable railroad in the world is that which was opened for traffic at the beginning of the present month. from Syria into the HedJaz, from Damascus to Fl Medina. and It's con struction and completion afford a curious and impressive illustration of the icono- elastic progress of which even the most re. actionarY despot may be capable.
 It was in the spring of 1900. at the very height of his fanaticaI autocracy that Abdul Hamd announced his intention of building a railroad from Damascus to Bl Medina and Mecca. and himself subscribed a large sum from his private purse for the purpose: and It was on August 3l of this year, the twenty-fiGth anniversary of his accession to the Ottoman throne, that the work was actually begun On August sI, 1908. his thirty-third anniversary. the road was completed as far as Fl Medina and was opened for travel.

Will Be Some Time Before
Hicksite and Orthodox
Friends Heal Breach.
QUESTION WAS DISCUSSED.
POINTS ON WHICH HIckSITES
ARE DECLARED UNSOUND,
WERE THOROUGHLY coNSID-
Erred AT MASS MEETING.

The story Of the separation OF the
Hicksite branch of the Friends church
from the Orthodox branch, was the
chief topic of discussion at the meet
ing of the members of the various re-
ligious institutions at the North A
street Friends church yesterday after
noon. Francis Robinson was the chief
speaker, and Timothy Nicholson and
a number of other prominent Friends
also spoke. 1t is a recognized fact that
the Friends will never be united in
mind, but in feeling and good fellow
ship it is possible for them to come
into closer relations with each other
than they have been since the separa-
ton. That it will be some time yet
before the misunderstanding between
the two churches will be overcome so
that the Friends Will be united was
the opinion of many who attended the
meeting.
Francis Robinson discussed the three
main questions in which the Hicksite
branch of the Friends church is con-
sidered unsound in doctrine, and are
"The miraculous conception of the
divinity of Christ. Second, His mis-
sion as Saviour of the World. and
third, the authenticity of the Script
ures." These topics were discussed at
some length and were treated by the
speaker in a spirit of brotherly love,
and greatly pleased the large audience
present. The speaker did not treat
the subject of the parting of the
ways for Friends in 1929 from a
historical or controversial standpoint
but as an explanation Of the more
ethical points on which the reason
ings of the Friends have differed SO
widely.
The paper was well written and was
presented in a convincing manner, its
spirit being echoed by the speakers
in the audience who followed.
Eli Jay, ElizaHiatt and many others
spoke in an appreciative way of the
motive of Francis Robinson calling the
meeting and the Work among the
branches Of the society Of Friends.

Employees.
ARE ISSUED.
SUBORDINATE OFFICERS OF COR
PORATlON TOLD TO DISMISS
oRGANlZERs-oLD UNIONS IN
FAVOR.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1O-Unofficially,
but nevertheless, effectively, the Penn
sylvania railroad management has set
its foot on efforts to build up new
unions among its employees. There is
no interference in any way with big
organizations like the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen.
\ What the management aims to pre-
vent is organization Of men like
freight handlers, trackmen and car in
spectors. The officials of the road be-
lieve that this is most opportune
time to move in the matter as the
many men out of employment and anx.
ious for work make it comparatively
safe for the company to take meas
ures to halt organization.
While no formal orders or written
instructions have been issued. w. w
Atterbury, general manager. has given
his subordinate clearly to understand
that men active in furthering new
unions are not wanted in the srvice oil
the Pennsylvania railroad, and tha,
such men are to be discharged wher-
ever 1t seems desirable.

DEFECTS IN THE LAW.
Said to Have Increased the Power OF
The Bosses.

Chicago. Aug. 10.-Illinois' new pri-
mary law, tested Saturday for the
first time, presented some glaring and
vital defects. AS the law worked out
on the first trial 1t seems to increase
the power of bosses.
In practice the new law permits
gangs of heelers from one party to
swamp the booths and help the bosses
Of the other party nominate the ma
chine candidate. The law was intend
ed to give the voters an opportunity
to express their preferences, free from
the domination of party whips. In
effect, they had no such opportunity,
for the machine leaders, marshaling
hordes of floaters from the slums and
lodging houses, upset all calculations.
These things could not have been done
so effectually, in open caucus, for
there would have been an opportunity
to register protest.
AS 1t works out the new law gives
the bosses of both the big parties ex-
cellent opportunities to frame up
trades and deliver the goods in a man.
ner not discoverable. It illustrates
the very object for which it was
brought into existence.
Another defect for which the public
will not stand is the delay. The ma.
chinery of the primary Is so cumber.
some that on the first day of its trial
only four counties Of more than one
hundred had returned anything like a
complete report within fifteen hours
after the polls closed
Still another point against the new
law is that 1t destroys the secrecy OF
the ballot. Before being given bal
lot, the voter must declare his party
affiliation.

Chairman Hitchcock StartIes
Old Leaders by His New
System.
WILL HAVE NO DEAD TIMBER
MEN WILL BE SENT WHERE
THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH MOST
GOOD AND THUS NO ORAToRY
WILL BE WASTED THIS YEAR.

New York, Aug. 1O.-Elaborate
plans have been perfected by Frank
H. Hitchcock, republican national
chairman, whereby he will know the
weak and strong points Of every
"spellbinder" employed by the nation
al committee. The orators are to be
card indexed; they are to be included
| In the System" which Mr.. Hitchcock
aided by William Hayward, of Ne
braska, is putting into effect. to the
wonderment of many of the old wal
horses, who believe more in handshak
| ing than card indexing.
Under the plan devised by Mr.
Hitchcock and Coleman Du Pont
Chairman of the speakers committee
the committee members win know
within a week or two after the spell
binders brigade is turned loose or
the country just which ones are worth
keeping.
In nutshell, every one will have
card in the index and on that caro-
will be recorded all the information
that any one could desire about the
spe aker. Just glance at it will en-
able the head Of the Speakers Bureau
to send him where he can do the most
good.
| 1t will be an easy task to get this
| information. To do so each speaker
will be accompanied on his early trips
by clerk. who will make careful
notes of the impression the speaker
makes and the treatment that is &C
| hxy
two weeks will be required to get al
the speakers "sized up but wher
this Is done no oratory will be wasted
In former campaigns, it is said, mucl
eloquence was cast upon barreI
ground simply because there was M
card index.
1t has not been decided yet how
many speakers there will be. but /
the campaign fund grows as the lead
ers hope. there will be at least 1000
The West and Middle West will b,
flooded with them. A few will b,
spread over the East, but the grea
majority will be sent out to the agri
cultural states, where Mr.. Bryan

been vigorous.
The indexing of the speakers is bu
one of many innovations which tn,
youthful national chairman is putting
into effect Instead of spending hi

Elected to Head Republican
G. o. P. Ticket at Satur-
days Primaries.
SYSTEM NOT A SUCCESS.
PARTY BOSS HAS ALL oPPoRTU-
NIFTY TO RULE UNDER NEW PRI-
MARY SCHEME AS WAS PLAIN
LY EVIDENCED.

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-The indications
are that Governor Charles S. Deneen
has received the republican nomina-
tion for governor and that Senator
Albert J. Hopkins has received the
republican endorsement for United
States senator in the Illinois primary
elections. The result, however, is
not definitely established in either
case and both the Yates and Foss
managers claim that their men will
ultimately be selected.
The friends of Governor Deneen
confidently predict that he will secure
the nomination by a majority of at
least 10000 over Yates. and the Yates
managers make about the same predic-
tions for their man.
Hopkins Confident.
Senator Hopkins declared he be-
lieved that he would be indorsed for
the senatorship by plurality OF 25,-
600 to 27,OOO. T he Foss managers
claim they have carried many of the
senatorial districts and hen the legis-
lature comes to vote Cor senator the
men from these districts must be guild.
ed by the vote in these districts, ire
spective of what the vote Of the en-
tire state may have been. They argue
that in this way Foss is certain to re-
ceive the election from the legislature
even though he runs behind in the
primaries.
The situation in the democratic
ticket outlined was confirmed by late
returns. Lawrence B. Stringer has
been indorsed for senator, and Adlai
e. Stevenson has been nominated for
governor.
Returns Are Slow.
Never since political returns were
carried by messengers on foot, by or
teams and canal boats, have definite
figures been so greatly delayed in any
Illinois election as in the one just
closed.
The vote for the republican sena-
torial Endorsement in Chicago and
Cook county was: For Hopkins, 40
35S; Mason, 39.917; Foss. 5O259; Civ
ing Foss plurality over Hopkins OF
1854. In the state outside Of Cook
county the contest seemed to befair
ly between Hopkins and Foss, with
Mason falling far in the rear.
Stringer Easy Winner.
The democratic senatorial endorse
ment may be dismissed with the sin
gle statement that Stringer won easily
in every county in the state so far al
heard from tonight.
For the republican gubernatoria
nomination, Deneen received in Chi
cago and Cook county 1870 votes
Yates 72,1os, giving Deneen q plur
ality in Chicago and Cook county Of 7,
591.
Adlai E. Stevenson, former vice
president candidate ran far ahead O
his opponent for the democratic CUB
ernatorial nomination. although Jane,
Hamilton Lewis, OF Chicago, made 1;
phenomenal run in Chicago and Cool
county, securing nearly as many vote
as all other candidates together.
