STATE WILL FURNISH PLANS
State Assures People in the Rural Dis
tricts That Plans for Road Building
Will be Furnished and That the
State Will Aid in the Work. :.
lFrom Thursday S DailYl

Any visitor from Kenosha county to
the Wisconsin state fair who is identi-
lied IN any way with town or village
government, or of even large commun-
tiles in fact, is interested in the exhib-
its OF the highway division of the Wis
consin geological survey
In tent just west of the secre-
tary' Is office there has been provided
valuable display of the important
work of road and bridge building, both
by means of drawings, blue prints and
photographs, together with samples of
actual work in the most literal concrete
form.
w. 0. Hotchkiss, Madison, is in
charge of the exhibit, and the tent is
proving popular place with state fair
patrons. In telling of the functions
of the highway division, Mr.. Hotch-
kiss said:
''Of the money spent In Wisconsin
In the maintenance of highway sys-
tenn, probably one-half is expended in
construction and repair of culverts and
bridges. Wisconsin is a well watered
area, especially in the western and
northern portions, and the problem of
keeping culverts and bridges in good
repair is one of the most difficult fac
ing town supervisors.
Gin the light of reports received
and of personal observations, it is be-
lieved that the work can be done much
better in the future than it has been
prosecuted in the past; that better
work can be done for less money and
it is expected that the exhibits and
circular work will greatly aid town
authorities in pointing out methods of
accomplishing this. In a way it is
more necessary to spend money for
good bridges than it is for good roads
cit is rare that the condition of a
road becomes SO bad that it stops trav-

Many complaints are being made of
the road hogs OF the county In most
eases farmers are reasonable and viii
allow half the road TO other drivers.
but there are many stubborn ones who
insist in paying no attention to any
body but themselves as far as dividing
up the road is concerned. 1t matters
not how much of load one driver may
have he is compelled by the road rules
to give half Of the raad to any vehicle,
whether automobile or wagon that de-
sires to pass him. 1t is only mat
ter of courtesy on one drivers part
if he gives all the road to a heavily
laden vehicle, as he is not compelled
to do it.

GREER DEFEATS MADISON
Chester Greer Defeats Jimmie Madison
in Pool Match Wednesday Night

The first pool match of the season
was played at the Tully academy on
Wednesday night when Chester Greer
of Waukegan defeated Jimmie Madi-
son of Kenosha by score of 125 to
81. The Waukegan man conceded
Madison a handicap of twenty-five
points and with this handicap the
game was an exceedingly close one. 1t
is probable that a second match will
be arranged between the two men. A
large number of the local pool experts
witnessed the game.

CHESEBROUGH PEARLS SEIZED.
These Are the Heal Ones-First Catch
was an Imitation.

After q conference with United States
Attorney Wise Collector Loeb formally
ordered yesterday the seizure OF the
Chesebrough necklace. made up Of s02
pearls and estimated to be worth about
$25 900. The necklace has been in safe
at the Custom Houssfo for several months
and the formality was necessary to le-
galize Government possession Of the
Jewelry. as Mrs. Chesebrough's husband.
Fremont b. Chesebrough Of Boston. had
turned IL over to the customs authorities.
Mrs. Chesebrough came here with
81 ,0OU worth OF jewelry secreted In one
OF her trunks. including an INIT alton
pearl necklace resembling the one seized.
A bill OF sale for the real necklace was
found in the trunk. and for a time the in
spsctor who made the seizure OF the fake
necklace supposed that the bill repre-
ssnted the value Of that. An appraiser
soon declared otherwise and the customs
men began an investigation which re-
suited In finding that the bill OF sale rep
resented the real necklace which Mr..
Chsssbrough had bought in Paris for his
wife ON March 4. This necklace had
been brought over by q steamship en-
tering q Canadian port and was TO have
bssn kept in Canada. according to Mr.,
Chesebrough. until the new tariff bill be-
came u law, Mr.. Chesebrough expect-
ing that the duty on necklaces would be-
reduced. Mrs. Chesebrough is to be

n. C. PIERCE MAY GO FREE.
Two Unexpected Points or Law Raised IN
Hls Behair I'm Texas Court.

AUSTIN. Tex. Dec. The case OF H. G.
Pierce, under indictment for perjury and
false swearing. may be dismissed upon a
technicality raised by tho defence to-day.
The question is whether Miss Nano
Nagel. the clerk In the Secretary Of Stats'a
once who administered the oath to MIR.
Pierce when he made the AFFIDAVIT that
the waters-Pierce on Company was hot
a party to any pool. trust, combination
or agreement ia restraint OF trade. was
a legal officer.
j. II. Robertson. attorney for the
defence, argued that Miss Nagel had no
legal right to administer the oath; that
shs did not have the right even II she was
a de facto officer. The rules Of law, ne
said, plainly held that de facto officer
cannot administer oath that can bs made
the basis for perjury Argument on this
question will be concluded tomorrow.
n the Court sustains the point the case
will be dismissed.
The defence also submitted a special
plea Of immunity on the ground that the
testimony which he involuntarily gave
in the cases against the Waters Pierce
Oh Company in Missouri and Texas
cannot be used against him In the present
criminal prosecution.

reason for the increase was the payment
