OUR PUBLIC ROADS.

At the present time the sub
ject of road building is engag-
ing the attention of the LegiS-
lature of Maryland and the
people of every county i'm the
State. 1t is regarded in every
section as one of the most inn
portant measures before the
Legislature
In 1906 a bill was passed 10y
the Legislature enabling the
Commissioners of Worcester
County to bond for .S25 900 for
road purposes. Since that time
five miles of stone road have
been built. There will be money
enough left to build about one
more mile of this Macadam road
Steam rollers and other equip
ments for road making had To
be purchased out Of this fund,
thus lessening at least mile
and half of road building. 1t
seems impossible to build one
of these roads for less than
$4,000 per mile. The principal
reason for this excessive cost
is the freight on stone. On
every mile of road this item
alone amounts to about $500
or nearly half of the entire cost
On account of the distance we
are from the stone quarries it
makes our roads cost more
money than the people feel able
to pay. Some less expensive
method must be devised for the
improvement of our roads. The
Highway Division has suggest
ed building some sand and clay
roads in certain portions of the
county where both of these
materials are available A mile
of this kind of road surveyed,
engineered and drained the
same as though a stone road
were being built would cost
only about $1,000. In this man
ner six miles of good, fairly
substantial roads could be built
for the same money that one
mile of stone road could be built.
The people feel that they are
not getting enough mileage for
the money expended, that more
people will be benefited by
less expensive road and great
err number of miles. Worcester
County, and most of the other
counties on the Eastern Shore
and Southern Maryland are too
poor to avail themselves Of the
provisions of the present road
law. With a basis of about six
millions of dollars to build
three miles of these roads in
one year it would raise the tax
rate about eighteen cents. This
the people are not able to stand.
There is only one way to ac-
complish this work. and that is
by bonding the counties, a
system to which a great many
of them are opposed. In plain
language the Shoemaker Act
was passed by a Baltimore
countian for the benefit of Bal

LOOKING FOR WORK.
What Schwab Says Of the Bethlehem
Steel Works.

I'VE are looking for work" said Charles

office after a conference with that official
yesterday I'VE make various kinds of
proiectiles. armor and other things for
the navy. and want more work to keep
our organization intact. Today we are
doing perhaps but one-tenth as much
work for the government as we were do
ing a year ago. Because Of the large
amount of material supplied from our
establishment to the navy We are, in a
measure. an adjunct of that department"
Mr.. Schwab explained that the Bethle-
hem works have large class of skilled
workmen. thoroughly familiar with the
work required by the government, and he
thought it was for the interest of the
United States. as well as for the Bethle-
hem works. that the plant be kept intact
and not curtailed. as must be the case If
more contracts are not forthcoming.
1t was Mr. Schwabs view that the gen
eral sentiment in the financial world was
that conditions were much more hopeful,
and that the prospects have frightened In
the past few weeks.
There Is certainly an improvement IN
sentiment. if not in ORDERS. added MI.
Schwab smilingly. referring particularly
to his own business.
Mr. Schwab said that about $6Oo,Ooo
would be expended in improvements con-
nected with the Union iron works at San
Francisco which he recently visited.

LOCAL POLITICAL FIELD.
Burt-Patterson Delegatorial Ticket
Endorsed by Republican Club.

There was meeting of the Repubilcan
Suffrage Club of the eighteenth district
at 11G Delaware avenue southwest Mon
day night to consider the merits of the two
tickets in the field for delegates and al
ternates to represent the republicans OF
the District Of Columbia in the Chicago
convention next June. Rev. Wiley West
ry. the president. called the meeting to
order and explained its object in speech
of some length. in which he strongly
opposed Secretary Taft and President
Roosevelt for the nomination at Chicago,
declaring that neither could be elected If
nominated He said he was for Senator
Foraker for President of the United
States. and could support no ticket for
delegates about the position OF which
there is the slightest doubt on the presi-
Dental candidates. He said that he was
for the Burt-Patterson ticket.
Allen Griffin followed, saying he had
reached the conclusion that the ticket
headed by Gen. A. S. Burt, former COM
mander of the 25th United States 1nfan-
try is the one most deserving the con-
fdence and support of the friends OF
Senator Foraker. He said that he was
opposed to the nomination of President
Roosevelt. Secretary Taft or any candi-
date named by the President.
The next speaker was B. E. Watkins.
secretary of the club, who said that he
should stand by and for the ticket in
dorsed by the club. He was equally as
| strong in favor of Senator Foraker.
| w. NJ Green declared it to be the duty
of all colored republicans in the District
to rally to the support of the only Fora
ker ticket in the field for election. and
said Gen Burt heads that ticket. James

for a time he more than held his own. IT
was part of his method to keep in close
touch with the police. and he was
frequent visitor at the police stations,
whittier he went on the most flimsy pre-
texts. At last the acting chief of the
criminal investigation department, Mr..
Mayrogordato. discovered the identity of
his clever opponent. and. after many at
tempts, brought home to him a serious
crime for which Collngwood was SEN
fenced at Pretoria in January. 1907. to
twelve years imprisonment, with hard
labor. for culpable homicide. The crime
was committed in the course of robbery
which he had planned, when he found IT
necessary to get rid of a native tool
who knew too much. At the same time
Arthur Manners received similar SEN
tence. Manners. though not of the same
caliber as CollngwoCd was a dangerous
man of the bill Sykes class, whose con-
victions began at Birmingham in 1896.
In common with many of his class, he
drifted to South Africa in one of the con-
tingents during the war. and at the close
of hostilities returned to his old career
