TIE Armes Road Is Giving Satisfaction
in Camden County.


Tie Armes Road Is Giving Satisfaction
in Camden County.
party Of Trenton citizens, headed
by State Road Commissioner Gilkyson,
inspected roads in Camden county re-
Gently which were paved with new
preparation. The roads were found
to be practically dustless and well
adapted for automobiling and easy
for horse travel.
The roads are easily mended and are
guaranteed to wear we'll. The cost Of
the paving in Camden county was
sixty cents per square yard.
1t was asserted that one man car
keep long stretch of the road in re-
pair and this was substantiated by one
of the Trentonions cutting out large
piece of the road and replacing it with
some of the repair material laying al
one side of the road. He tramped ovel
the spot several times until the dam
age done by the experiment had en-,
1irely disappeared.
Inquiry at the road commissioner
Office in the state house at Trenton
was made and representative of this
paper was told that the paving in ques-
tion had been invented by Methodist
minister named Armes who had been
experimenting for many years with
road-makng materials. Mr.. Armes
uses what he calls saponified asphalt
as coating for the stone used in the
road. A base for the use of q inch
stone laid and rolled in the usual way.
Over this is spread a layer OF II inch
stone that has been coated with Ar
mes preparation at the stone crusher.
The whole is thoroughly rolled and a
dressing of screenings is used for fin.
ish. The road seems to wear very well
and the ruts and hollows formed by
traffic are filled from time to time as
necessary with the coated stone, kept
on hand for repair purposes.
The state road authorities are advo-
eating this year the use of liquetied as
.phalt for binder in road building.
The usual courses of 24 inch stone and
II inch stone are laid and the asphalt
oil is applied hot at temperature OF
from $50 to 200 f. in specially arranged
sprinkling wagons which permit the
flow of oil to be regulated at any point.
The usual rolling and top dressing OF
screenings is to be applied

SENATOR KEAN NEVER SHIRKS
Pays Closet Attention TO Dnties Of
His Position.

A dispatch says -" There is not a
United States senator who gives the
duties of his position closer attention
than Hon. John Kean, senior senator
from New Jersey. Nor is there man
in the upper national legislative body
who gives the wants of his constitu-
ents better attention. Mr.. Kean is al
ways In his seat when the senate is in
session, unless he is attending a session
of some committee which is sitting
while the senate is holding its session.
While in the senate Mr.. Kean inva-
riably takes great interest In the pro-
ceedings, and there is 20 one who is
better posted on the rules, procedure
and the routine business than he is.
If measure comes before the senate
which should have more consideration
than it has received, the senior sena-
tor from New Jersey interposes the
objection that causes the bill to go
over. If some bill is up for considera-
tion, and there seems to be a lack OF
information relative to it Senator
Kean turns on his searchlight of in
qulry, and with few pertinent ques-
tions brings out the facts that ought
to be known.
" Senator Kean stands exceptionally
well withshis colleagues. If he makes
speech or interposes an objection he
is invariably listened to with close at
tention. If he wants anything he al
ways gets it, for the members Of the
senate are inclined to help him in any
way that lies in their power. When
Senator Frye was speaker pro tenn in
the fifty-ninth congress, it often hap
pened that Senator Kean was called
upon to preside over the deliberations
OF the senate, and he made one of the
best presiding officers in the senate.
Occasionally the yice-president asks
the senator to take charge Of the SEN
ate, which he does with his accus-
toned ease"

Mr.. Woodman, during his visit to
Boston and Cambridge, had a narrow
escape. A snowslide from the roof of
the Harvard union in Cambridge fell
upon him and Dean Hurlbut, knock
ing them to the ground, as they were
about to enter the building to attend
faculty reception to President Eliot.
Both were taken back to Dean Hurl-
butts house where it was found that
neither had sustained injury beyond
bruises and strains and cut over the
Deans eye. Top hats and an awning
lessened the seriousness Of the acci-
dent.

DEMOCRATS MADE BIG
GAINS IN MASSACHUSETT

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3.-The Demo
Gratis of Massachusetts were far more
gratified In looking over the results of
yesterdays election day than the Re
publicans, for while the latter sue
ceeded in keeping Governor Eben S.
Draper and the rest of the state
ticket in their present positions, to
win such a victory by such narrow
margin OF 5000 votes in a total OF
$4,000. was too close for comfort.
Lieutenant Governor Louis A.
Frotheringham defeated his Dsno-
cratic opponent. Eugene N. FOss, by a
little over 5000 votes. Last year Gov.
Draper had q plurality of over sixty
thousand and Lieutenant Governor
FrotEeringham $4,000.
The Democrats also made gains in
the legislature and today some of
them went so far as to predict a de-
feat two years hence OF Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge.

under date of October 81, when it was
officially announced that the tug Puef-
to PeTlas had been detained at Port
COrtez in order to conform with the
peace agreement made at Washing

They claim that there was no de-
mand from the Zelaya government for
the seizure of this tug, but that It
was then reported and later generally
known, that the mission of the tug
was to bring d supply Of arms and
ammunition from Guatemala to Gen

sion will form the basis OF charge
that Zelaya will make against Guate-
