Indianapolis, Oct &.-After a thor

sions which wrecked buildings in diff
ferent parts of the city, Superintendent
of Police Metzger declares that he is
satisfied hat they were the result of a
conspiracy to ruin Contractor Albert
Won Spreckelson because he employed
%nonunion labor. A complete exposure
of the plot will be made soon, accord
ing to the police official.
Spreckelson, fearing further violence
yesterday sent his children out OF
town. His wife remains with him.
He said that he had been assured of
the support of fellow members Of the
General Contractors association.

Some Pages from Garrett Coutny's
Road Book.

In today's issue of The republican,
pages two and three, will be found
eXtractsifrom the Road Book issued by
direction of the Board of County Com
missiOners, along with illustrations and
the manner and mode of constructing
and using the splitlog road drag which
has been recognized by the governments
of nearly every state in the Union as
one of the most successful and practical
means of repairing and improving dirt
roads. The simple manner of making
the drag as well as the slight cost
should appeal to every resident to pro-
vide himself with one and then use it
when occasion requires. By doing this
the roads would always be in perfect
condition and at an expense so small
that it is hardly worth considering.
The bound copies of the book are now

CONTRACT LET FOR
VALPARAISO DOCKS
Government of Chile Guarantees
Interest on Cost and Pro-
vides the Land
French Company Given Fran
cE1iSe for Thirty=twO Years
to RecOup Expense

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The follow
ing information concerning the pro-
posed improvements in the port of VAL
paraiso is furnished by Minister John
Hicks of Santiago:
The harbor OF Valparaiso has long
been a great drawback TO the CONNER
cial prosperity Of Chile, for the reason
that ii IS simply an open roadstead with
no docks or protection from storms.
Ships are unleaded and loaded while
anchored in the bay. and goods are
often piled for weeks on the shore
waiting for transportation inland Since
the earthquake of August 16, 1906, the
situation has been made much worse by
the destruction Of buildings and the
consequent Gripping of facilities for
loading ana unloading ships.
The government has had under con-
sideration various plans for the con-
structiOn of a series of docks and port
improvements, and the whole subject
has been in charge OF an English en-
gineer, Adam Scott who was engaged
for many years in the work of improv-
ing the fortifications and harbor faeili-
ties al Gibraltar Recently the contract
was finally let for the Valparaiso work
to the house of Batignolles, Fould &
Co. a French company. according TO
plans made for the government by the
engineer The price TO be paid is f.
100000 (S19,466,O00).
Contrary TO the custom which pre-
walls in the United States. the govern
ment did not advertise for bids or throw
the work open to the competition of
the world
The work is very large and compre-
hends the following points: A break
water 900 meters (3.2S1 feeD long
docks 1900 meters (6. 562 feet) long, at
tending the docks toward Fuerte Andes;
roads to connect the docks; coal docks.
and all the machinery and equipments
for the works The work is TO be en-
tirely completed in seven yers.
The company must deposit in bank

time mentioned.
