BETTER ROADS

BY United Press Wire.

Cleveland, o., Sept. 22--An address
delivered by Logan Waller Page, the
government representative, at today's
session, was a notable contribution ia
the proceedings of the National Good
Roads conventions. Page Is director
of the United States Office of public
roads, and has made a thorough,
study of the good roads problems
both in this country and i'm Europe
In his address, he gave a comparison
of conditions on the. two sides Of the
Atlantic
In mileage" he said. "this country
has the most tremendous system of
roads which any country has ever
possessed since the world began. The
length of all our roads amounts to 2,
10000 miles. Expenditures upon
them, both in money ana labor, was
"a fraction over $4,000, 900 in 1904, or
about $1.O5 per capita At the same
rate, this would he an expenditure of
about $9O,OuO, 900 a year at the pres
.ont time England with only 10000
miles of road, spends about $SO,OOO,-
600 year, or about fourteen times
as much per mile.
1--WE have less than 10000 miles of
stones surfaced road and 10000
miles of gravel road. The aggregate
of expenditures for roads from 1870
to 1900 was $l,SOO, 100000. We may
therefore, say that road building in
the United states *, considering area
population and wealth. at the same
point where 1t stood thirty years ago
and the seventeen hundred and odd
million dollars have produced few APP
preciable results.

Contest on Between Friends
and Opponents Of Judge
Tom Cook
Judge Berry Probably Will be
the Referee.
REPUBLICANS BECOME ALERT

The refusal of w. A. Berry, Demo-
cratic state central committeeman, to
grant a rehearing Of the Galloway
county Craftsmanship contest, will
start the political pot to boiling in
the Third judicial district, and there
will be a-plenty doing in the dark
and bloody ground" from now until
the November election.
Mr.. Berrys decision in seating
Newt Chrisman as chairman of the
Galloway county committee will re-
suit IN deadlock when the executive
committee of that district meets to
devise ways and means of nominat-
ing a candidate for circuit Judge to
succeed Thomas p. Cook, and accord
ing to the contention of the winning
side in Galloway county, Berry will
again be called upon as referee to de-
eide whether primary or convention
shall be called. One complication
that will arise, however, is that only
three of the four counties in the ju-
dicial district are located in the First
congressional district, which is the
limit to Berry's jurisdiction, Chris
tian county being in the Second dis
trict. 1t is claimed that Berry will
referee because the majority of the
counties are in his district.
At present 1t is expected that the
chairmen of Galloway and Christian
counties will favor a convention to
nominate candidates for Judge and
commonwealth attorney while Trigg
and Lyon chairmen, who are support
ers of Judge Cook. will favor prI-
mary.
At present states Of all kinds are
being made and broken in rapid sue
cession and the opposition to Judge
Cook has not yet agreed upon
ticket. The only announced candi-
date against Cook is Jack Hanberry,
Of Hopkinsville, but 1t is not likely
that he will be accepted as the leader
OF the law and order element, and
that contingent In the Democratic
party would likely vote for the Re-
| publican nominee, should either Cook
or Hanberry be nominated. In fact.
II looks as II Republican will be
elected no matter whom the Demo
Gratis nominate, as the latter party Is
so divided and split up with factions
that II will be impossible TO harmon
lie the opposing factions.
Judge James Breathitt would un-
doubtedly be elected, should he make
the race, as also would Judge Walter
Downer. prominent Republican
lawyer of Hopkinsville, but either
would make sacrifice Of personal in
terest to make the race.

III on the evidence presented thus far
ii Is impossible to convict. The court
said yes"
"There is no use going on" said
Wilkerson. "the government rests"
The defense Immediately moved a
verdict of acquittaL. The court called
the jury into the room to pass on
this. Judge Anderson instructed the
jury to return a verdict of mo,
guilty"
The verdict OF not guilty was re-
turned at the second trial in the case
In which the Standard formerly was
fined twenty-nine millions and prob
ably all pending indictments against
the company will be quashed. The
result is a heavy blow to the govern.
ment's antitrust prosecutions. The
case also is heavy blow to the ef-
fectiveness of the Elkins law.
In instructing the jury to bring in
an acquittal, the court said: "The
government has failed to establish It's
case. The indictment charged the
defendant with deviation from the
standard Of rates fixed by a common
carrier under law. The judgment of
this court is that there was no such
fixed standard. The federal statute
requires proof of intent and no such
proof has been produced. The court
does not believe the defendant know
ingly committed any violation OF the
law. II was a fatal variance between
the indictments and the evidence"
