As to Senatorial Chunls.

notice an article going the rounds
of the press in regard to senatorial
chums, and instancing the close friend
ship that exists between Senator Crane
OF Massachusetts,, and Senator Knox Of
Pennsylvania" said B. H. Milliken, a
former Washington newspaper man.
The friendships of the senators is an
odd thing, and very often men in that
body who would seem to be natural
antagonists are greatly devoted to each
other Years ago I recall the fact that
Don Cameron of Pennsylvania, and
NJ. c. Butler of South Carolina. were
a senatorial pair that were as Damon
and Pythias, despite the black Repub-
licanism of Cameron and the fre-eat-
ing Bourbonism of the Carolinian. They
loved each others society, and often
hunted and fished together on the Car
DINA coast Just as deeply attached
were Quay and Vest. of Missouri, until
their friendship was rudely broken by
the failure of Vest to vote for his
chum when Quay asked to be seated
by virtue of an appointment from the
governor of his state. Vest bitterly
regretted that his conscience would not
allow him to vote the way that his af-
fections dictated, so he was forced to
cast the most reluctant vote of his life
an act for which Quay never forgave
him. Baltimore American.

junk Dealing a Great Industry.

But few of the thousands of people
who see an "old iron" man poking
through a heap of rubbish realize that
the junk business in this country has
grown to stupendous proportions. In
Philadelphia last year $25,000.000
changed hands in dealing in old met
al, ranging fran the trivial sums
paid to the men who search the al
leys for small discarded articles to the
many thousands of dollars paid for
machinery from dismantled factories.
The Pennsylvania Railroad alone
aisposes Of from 10000 to 10000 tons
of waste material month to Phila-
delphia dealers. This is chiefly worn
out rolling stock and rails. The com
pany which controls the street rail-
ways of that city aiJposes of almost
an equal amount, and hundreds of
other industrial concerns add their
quota.-Popular Mechanics.

Police Methods in India.

A jewel was lost by a rich Komati.
1t was found in the possession of a
Mohammedan. Two policemen OF
the station seized 1t from him and
pledged 1t and obtained loan from
local merchant. Then another
policeman was asked to search the
house of the merchant. and before
the search was effected the merchant
gave it to him with a present as
bribe not to haul him up before the
court. Between the three policemen
a sum of about sixty rupees was
looted from one or the other of the
dishonest and avaricious merchants.
Then arose q split among these
policemen and their comrades about
the division of the spoils, and they
are now blinking as to what course
to adopt and whom to charge and
what offense to charge with. The
people are losing all confidence in
these men.-Mysore Standard.

BERLIN, Jan. 10.-The short career
of women auto cab drivers in Berlin
already has come to an end. The
only woman who was licensed to drive
an automobile, Frau Won Papp. gave
up her grip on the steering wheel and
retired because she did not possess

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. One new

moned since the beginning of the sec.
ond hearing on Monday.
Justice Bowling has announced that
he will hold court tomorrow If neces-
sary to complete the jury. At the time
of the luncheon recess the box was
filed with six permanent and six tenn
porary jurors, but peremptory chal-
lenges swept all Of the provisional men
away. Just before the adjournment
hour five temporary jurors had again
been selected to fill the back row va
cancies. But once more the arbitrary
challenges were brought into play, and
all but one Of the men on probation
were allowed to go.
The sole survivor of the day, who
took his place as trial juror No. I, was
William +. Doolittle, chief clerk in the
auditing department of the New York
Central railroad. The rate of progress
was not gratifying either TO prosecu-
ton or defense, and better things are
hoped for. At the close Of the work
the prosecution had employed fourteen
of the thirty challenges allowed by
law and the defense had expended
nineteen. The court can, in its dis
erection, increase the number of chal-
lenges allowed either side, and last
year at the first trial Justice Fitzger'
aid did SO.
Patrick McCue, hat manufacturer
furnished the only bit of color to the
proceedings by declaring that he had
never heard Of the Thaw case. Con
sequently he had no disqualifyine
opinion and was placed on the tenn
porary side of the trial panel only tc
be excused peremptorily later on.

T.. Schmitz, convicted of extortion in
the French restaurant case. Abe Ruef
also benefits by the ruling of the upper
court, for, according to Its decision,
he pleaded guilty to an act that was
no offense against the laws Of the

After discussing the point the court
reversed the judgment against Schmit2
on the ground that no acts constituting
crime had been proved against him
Abe Ruef, who pleaded guilty to ex.
torting money from the French res
taurants, is therefore equally guiltless

Of extortion against Schmitz and Ruef

FOR GOOD ROADS PLANK

Governor Crothers said Wednes-
day that If he had not been too busy
he would like to have gone to Den
yer in advance of the rest of Maryland
delegation to suggest to the party
leaders the ACCESSIBILITY of incor-
porating into the Democratic plat
form good roads plank. Such a
plank, the Governor said, would un-
doubtedly bring to the party thou
sands of votes throughout the coun-
try, particularly if it were coupled
with an Improvement upon the ru-
raj free delivery service in the farm.
ing districts.
The Governor believes every State
in the Union would promptly res
pond to good roads plank in the
pla tferm and that the promise OF
Federal legislation along the line of
good roads would arouse an enthu-
siasm that no other of the suggest
ed planks could arouse.
If he had been able to 60 to Den
yer before the rest of the delegation,
be would have called the attention
of the leaders to the desirability of
such a plank. As 1t is, if there be
time when he gets to Denver next
week, he will consult his friends
about the ACCESSIBILITY OF urging the
plank in the resolutions committee.

A TIMELY RNING AS TO
WATER DRINKING

The health officers latest bulletin
gives timely warning against the
carelessness city people invariably
display about drinking water when
they go away for the summer. Put
the average city man in the country,
and he is content to drink anything
that bubbles from the ground. The
sensible thing to do is to have the
water analysed, or, when this is i'm
possible, 10 use as many precautions
as can we'll be taken in finding out
where it Games from before drinking
it. 1t is risky to drink from springs
because they look clear and pure.
1t is troublesome to exercise the
proper amount of caution, but it pays
to do so. If the number OF deaths
in a single summer directly attribu-
table to lack of care in this respect
could be figured out, the total would
probably impress the public with the

MARYLAND IN THE LEAD.

Tt is matter of Importance to
MARYLAND, and it should be source
of pride to our people, that this state
has taken the leadership in the good
roads movement. Maryland was
not the first to begin road construc-
tion. but it was the foremost in doing
the work in the best way. 1t eNper-
imented first with plan of state and
local cooperation, and on the basis
of this experience it laid its present
policy of systematic state road-bulld-
mo. The commission has JUSTIFIED
the warmest hopes of the people, ana
the visits to different parts OF the
state with public hearings have. been
productive of great benefit. Ihere
IS a more adequate understanding OF
the whole subject, and while purely
local interests have had to give way
to the needs of the general system,
vet there is conviction that the
welfare OF the largest number is be-
ing served and in the end the local
interests will be more than salts
fed.
At its meeting this week the
Board of Public Works made pre-
hminary arrangements for the issue
of 81 900 900 of the $5,0OO,0OO bonds
for the good-roads work. Adver.
tisement will be duly made and bids
will be received until August l. 1t
NAV not be the best time to sell these
bonds, but there is proper discretion
in the board, and it can postpone the
sale if the prices are not what they
should be. In any event, the bids
will be an accurate reflection of the
financial situation. Maryland is not
only out of debt, but has a surplus
beyond its obligations. The bonds
will, therefore, be just as good as
notional government bonds. No Sc
curities could be safer. We expect
that all this will be reflected in the
bids, and we trust our home instItu-
tions will show the proper enterprise
and bid high-Baltimore Amerl-
can.
