MANY ROADS BUILT
IN SOUTHERN STATES
The Past Year Has Been One OF Ac-
uyity for Transportation
Companies There.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Railroad build
ing in the south during the last
twelve months made satisfactory
record when it is remembered that
the year was one of marked depres-
sion throughout the entire country,
snd hostile legislation in many states.
About 1900 miles of new road was
built. This is the lowest record for
several years, but relatively speaking
the south maintained its position with
other sections Of the country in this
regard.
Comparatively satisfactory as this
showing may be. those having the
matter in charge do not think that
the needs OF the situation have been
fully met. They have planned con-
siderably greater things for the year
to come and before another twelve
months run their course it is planned
JC build at least $500 miles of new
track
According to the manufacturers
Record, the following is the account
made in each Of the southern states,
In Texas $40 miles were added this
year, in Arkansas 213, in Virginia
210, in Louisiana III, in North Car

New York, Jan. 1.-The spontane-
GUS action throughout the country to
succor the SURVIVORS of the earth
quake in Italy has assumed the char
acter of an imposing national move
ment Reports from all sections of

Already more than 100000 is in

The governors of states and mayors
of cities have issued appeals and a

The New York total Is $4,000;

BOARD OF HEALTH
TO HOLD meeting
VIII Discuss Prevention of the Spread
of Disease at Session to be Held
Sunday.

The city board of health will dis
cuss the prevention of disease in the
city generally and particularly in the
schools at a meeting to be held sun
day afternoon, TO which members of
the school board, and the city and
county superintendents have been in
vited. While several contagious dis
cases are prevalent to some extent
the situation is clearing materially
and the activity of the board of
health and the school board and su-
perintendents has prevented the
spread of disease.
1t is rumored that the city schools
would not be opened Monday, out
would remain closed during the next
week Members of the school board
stated that they had heard nothing
of such rumor and that there does
not appear to be necessity for such
action. Sickness in the city and
schools will be thoroughly discussed
Sunday and as the action OF the
board and doctors has resulted so
benefcially the same course will prob
ably be pursued In future.

CAUSE OF SHOOTING

no symptoms TO cause fear. 1t viii be
several days, however, the psysician
said before it will be known just what
will result from the injury. Pneu-
monia is almost sure to result from
the puncture in the lung
This morning nc talked freely of
the shooting. He said that he could
not understand what possessed the
man to shoot. He and BaCa were on
very good terms "a far as he knew. He
said that Baca came into the saloon
swearing. He told him that he did
not ike that kind OF talk He was
standing behind the bar wiping a
glass while ne was talking TO the man
and before hc knew ii he was shot
Baca is still confined at the county
jail and still maintains a dogged 81
lence as far as the shooting is con-
cerned. He will talk on other sub
jects but as soon as the shooting is
broached, he closes up like clam.
The shooting of Zanone was a block
from where a native was shot dead in
the street a year ago last Christmas,
at about the same hour in the after
noon. Strange to relate this same
neighborhood has averaged one trag-
edy a year for several years. The find

CHINESE SEEK
MONEY FOR ROAD
Failure to Float S5,OOO,OOO Bond Is
sue Causes Government Worry.

Peking, Jan. 1.-Grand Councillor
Chang Chi Tung. who last summer
was appointed controller OF the Can
ton Hankow railroad, has now been
made controller OF the Hankow-
Szechuan line. The reason OF this ap-
pointment Is said to be the complete
failure OF the government to raise do
mestic loans for the development Of
the latter road. The government has
authorized a foreign loan for the
Canton -Hankow line, and it Is be-
lieyed a similar loan for the Han
kow- -Szechuan road will soon be sane
toned.
The recent failure Of the board OF
communications 10 float a domestic
loan of s5,0O0,O0O 10 pay the share

system has embarrassed the govern
ment seriously. and Chen Py presi-

The Hon Sig. Grunsfeld, who today
