City Will Furnish All Machinery

The federal government Is willing
to do its share in building a sample
road in this county, but it cannot fur
nish the materials, machinery or pay
the cost of construction. However,
Uncle Sam has informed the WAYNE
county commissioners that if they will!
make an appropriation to build one
mile of road, the government will fur
nish a construction engineer, super
visors and overseers without cost to
the county.
Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier sug-
gested today that the county author
tiles could build such a road with but
little expense by utilizing the prison
ers at the county Jail as laborers He
said that Mayor Schillinger had Of
fered the use of the city's steam roller
and other road construction machinery
and tools to assist in the construction
of such a road. About the only cost to
the county, Mr.. Spekenhier states,
would be the material. He says that if
the commissioners object to making an
appropriation to build an entire mile
of roadway, an arrangement might be
commissioners whereby one-half mile
of road be built in that county and one
half mile in Wayne county.
Postmaster Spekenhier has received
the following letter from NJ. O. Ell

expert, who spoke here on Good Roads
day:
Il received the newspapers which
you so kindly sent me and am very
much obliged to you. | hope that our
little meeting there will be of some
benefit to your splendid little city and
to the fine country surrounding it.
"One of the papers stated that the
application for assistance in building
piece of sample road was turned
down. You will remember that | did
not turn down the request but simply
| told the people that we could not fur
nish machinery as we formerly did
but that we would furnish experts and
engineers to direct the construction
of piece of road, provided local au.
thorities would furnish material, com.
mon labor. teams and machinery. |
did not state definitely that this would
be done, but said that l would forward
the application to Washington, which
l afterwards did. l suppose you have
heard from Washington by this time. "

Defeats His Brothers Troops
And Is Declared Ruler
Of Morocco.
ABD-EL-AZIZ BETRAYED.
AFTER TAMPERING WITH FORM
Err SULTAN'S GUNS THEY LEFT
OLD LEADER ATTHE MERCY OF
HIS KIN.

Tangier, Aug. 24.-The defeat of
his brother, Mulai Hafid, has been
confirmed. The sultan of record was
surprised on the night of August 10
and most of his troops deserted to the
side of the usurping Sultan after the
firing of few shots.
Reports indicate that the defeat of
Abd-El-Aziz was due largely to the
betrayal of his own tribesmen.
Mulai Hafid has been proclaimed
Sultan of Morocco at Tangier and an
nouncement of the proclamation has
been telesraphed to all parts of the
country. All the officials who prev
iously have been under the rule of
Abd-El-Aziz here declare that they
have accepted Mula Hafid as their
leader, thereby making him supreme
in all the large cities of Morocco.
Details of the battle show that Add
El-Aziz had an army numbering the
super rior of the enemy, but that his
artillery either failed to work or was
deliberately tampered with Some of
the guns exploded, throwing the
tribesmen into a panic.
The vast majority of these seized
the opportunity to flee during the en-
gagement and general pillage broke
out, many of the tribes seeking to car
ry off as much booty as possible.
Abd-El-Aziz and his escorts retreat
ed in an orderly manner to Settat, his
army being pursued by the victorious
troops of Mulai Hafid. Abd-El-Aziz
was accompanied in his fight by the
Grand Vizier, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the French Military Mission
and two British officers
a Tangier newspaper states that the
British officers and several French of
ficers are missing.
1t is said that the former Sultan will
proceed to Casablanca and that he in
tends to go to Damascus.

ports, has definitely given up the
struggle and announced his intention

of the board of public works did not

The attention of the president of the

member of the board, who has super
vision over the street department and
he had not reported Main street as
being dangerous nor called the atten-

tions.
For two days there has been no way
for vehicles to cross Main street be-
tween Ninth and Thirteenth. The
street railway company has removed
its tracks and is making excavation
preparatory TO relaying them in con-
crete bed. At Tenth street and in
front of the Westcott hotel the eXca-
walton is three feet deep. Crushed
stone and sand that was used for the
road bed formerly has been removed
and now is piled high along the south
side of the street Yesterday it was
absolutely impossible to cross Main
street at this point without climbing
pile of sand and stone. The COM
pany's workmen did not even shovel
the impeachment out of the way so as
to admit walking place on the brick
pavement. Women found it extreme
ly difficult and very inconvenient to
cross the street for any purpose.
The inconvenience was not compar-
able to the danger that would result
from an alarm of fire. To answer an
alarm from the box located at Elev-

fraught with danger to the depart

are crowded into the portion of the

Oyster Bay. Aug, 24.-President
Roosevelt has made public a report
made to him on August 6 by a special
commission of James Reynolds, Sam
,uel B. Donnelly and Henry Beech
Needham, regarding conditions in
Panama.
The commission was appointed on
April 25 last Ito investigate condi-
tions. especially as regards labor and
accommodation on the isthmus."
That the president is pleased with
the report is shown in a letter which
he sent to each member of the COM
mission. He expresses particular
pleasure over the fact that the COM
mission upholds the administration of
Colonel George w. Goethals, chairman
of the Isthmian canal commission. and
the president has had a copy of the
report mailed to Colonel GoethaIa,
requesting that the recommendations
made by the commission be put into
effect Immediately. so far as possible.
The president will submit the report
to congress with appropriate recon-
mendations.
The commission reports that it in
spected the entire line of the canal
excavation from La Boca, the south
ern or Pacific terminus. to CristobaI,
the northern or Caribbean terminus,
and Travelled through the excavation
several times, interviewing the men
at work.
In prefacing its report the commits
sion says:
Work on the construction of the
Isthmian Canal has passed through
two stages, those of planning and of
preparation. 1t is now in the third
and final stage. the stage of construc-
ton. Both the earlier stages required
the presence of a large working force

Belize that there is not sufficient la

that is being cleared for fruit grow

fully employed. the people through
committee have forwarded to the
British home government petition
urging the Importance of cody la
bcrers from India. The consul con-
tinues:
The subject may be of some inter-
est to American trade, as explaining
why the British Honduras market has
been so limited in the past. and Great
ing hopes that it will very largely i'm
prove in the future If agricultural de-
velopment is encouraged and the
means for such development is fur

THE SHATTERED IDOL.

Until a few weeks ago President
Roosevelt was the idol Of the Amerl-
can people. Men Of all political
faiths regarded MIN with admiration.
They did SO because they knew him
to be an honest, fearless executive
and they thought he was a truly big
mana man bigger than party.
But his course in the present cam
paigu has been that Of a common
politician not that Of statesman.
Through a blunder or through poor
judgment he engaged in a controver-
sy with Governor Haskell in which
ne was clearly worsted.
Now the president enters the arena
again with a statement in which he
declares that Mr.. Bryans attitude re-
garding labor IS such that It would
be either wholly ineffective or else OF
widespread injury not only to organ
ized labor but TO all decent citizens
throughout the country"
This Is cheap partisan talk. It Is
c.ap-trap. Mr.. Bryan's stand regard
ing labor, as expressed by the demo
cratic platform and by his public ut.
teranees, is simply that workingmer

DO NOT BITE.

In an effort to offset the democratic
stand for guaranteeing bank deposits
the republicans are now urging the
establishment of postal savings banks
Their sincerity in the matter is to be
doubted because the republicans have
been in continuous power and have
not provided for postal savings banks.
But let US look at this scheme. The
professed idea of the plan is to pro-
vide places Of deposit that will be alb
sclutely safe in times Of financial un-
rest. Postal savings banks would be
safe for the deposltors. But would
they not be ruinous to the banking in
terests?
Would not frightened depositors
take practically all the money from
the regular banks and deposit it in
the postal banks? If properly eau
tious they would. What would be the
effect upon the banks? Everybody
knows.
Under the postal savings bank
scheme the government would de-
posit the peoples money back into
it, regular repositories. But how
many banks are L. $. repositories?
Where would the other banks be left?
Besides the depository banks coul1
not use this money to any extent. The
government would hold the privilege
o. Withdrawing it any moment. It
would have TO retain that privilege.
tecause IL would not be the govern
