CLEVELAND. Ohio, Dec. Since
Charley Murphy started his plans TO
remove John Heydler from his office as
president Of the National League the
position of Stanley Robson Of the St.
Louis Cardinals. has often been referred
to. One day Robson is said TO have
been allied with Murphy. while the fol-
lowing day this was denied and Robson
was lined up with the Dreyfuss-Herr-
mann forces, who are for the retention
OF Heydler in office
MI Robson, who is now In Cleveland
today made his first statement IN the
matter since the present fractional strife
began. IT was as follows: Il do not see
what right they have TO say that / am
for Heydler or against him; that 1 am
for Ward or against him; that ! have
given my promise TO vote with Murphy
or declared myself with Dreyfuss and
Hermann. The fact is / have not con-
feTred with any OF my colleagues since
all this agitation began. / have not
committed myself In any way and will
not until reach New York. / shall wait
until I have become entirely conversant
with the conditions thai exist" Mr.
Robson will leave for New york either

Is 20 be held in England, he offers $50
COO If held in America or France, $4,000.
As an alternative, the promoter offers
the entire gross receipts less $4,000 if
the fight is in America, France. or Eng

or, II the fight is held IN Australia, he
offers the entire gate receipts. with a.

he reserves the fight picture privilege.
His second alternative OFFER IS a $4,000

robson is STRONG
HEYDLER ADVOCATE

ST LOUIS. No, Dec. IN Stanley
Robson. president of the St Louis Ma
tional League club. can be relied upon
voting for Johnny Heydler.
In the first place. Barney Dreyfuss, Of
Pittsburg is Robisons best friend in
baseball. Dreyfuss is for HeydIer first,
last and all the time Then, Garry
Herman. of Cincinnati. Robison's
second best friend in the game. is also
a Heydler booster Robson is always
hard man to interview. He learned long
ago that the proper gag in baseball is
to keep ones counsel
Robson has been IN none too good
health all winter. He has been resting
at his home in Cleveland, Ohio. and
has refused to talk much baseball. How
ever. before leaving the city in the fall
he stated that Heydler was his choice.
and friends do not believe ne has made
any switch. Furthermore, as John
Montgomery Ward Is Charley Murphy's
choice, that probably settles him so far
as RObisOn's vote Is concerned.
Robson has but little use for Murphy.
He regards him far too theatrical for
the game. and can be relied upon OPP
posing anything and everything the
pUdgY Chicagoan favors.

SECRETARY WILSON
WANTS GOOD ROADS
Relates Some Interesting
Facts in Annual Report
to President.

The annual report Of the Secretary Of
Agriculture. submitted today to Presi-
dent TAFT, contains some interesting
racts regarding the work Of the Office
or public roads, in which motorists
throughout the country are interested.
Secretary Wilson points out that proper
construction and maintenance Of public
highways engages public and Official at
tention 10 great extent, and the Office
Of public roads has proven its useful
ness to the general public more en-
phaticaly than ever before.
The adoption of State aid in the con-
struction Of public roads by more than
half the States and the consideration Of
the question by the remainder, together
with large bond issues By many coun-
Ties, are indexes Of the general interest
being shown in the WORK. and have oc-
casioned a great demand upon the Office
for advice and assistance.
during the past year especial attention
mas been given to object lesson work
Inc purpose Of object lesson roads is to
give elementary instruction to local road
builders and TO demonstrate the possi-
oillties OF road impro yament Second
only In Importance to object lesson work
IS the experimental work OF the Office
Lhe most important problem considered
mas been that Of preventing the destruc-
tive action Of automobile traffic on cost
" maCadam roads.
In working out this problem exDeri-
ments have been made to secure salts
factory binders and dust presentfves
within reasonable cost. Excellent re-
suits have been attained in the use Of
asphalt, tar, and other htuminous bind
ers, waste from sugar refineries and
wood pulp mills, and other by-prOducts
