sioner has been responsible for the maintenance of state roads for two years and three months is without foundation in fact.
 It will be observed by reference to the law of 1907 that the commissioner has no power to build roads without the consent of the town and has no choice as to the kind of roads they may desire constructed. Macadam has often been insisted upon by towns whose selectmen have had no. seem- ing appreciation of the fact that mac adam is expensive to maintain as well as construct, most of them with an utter disregard of the value of any thing they did not pay for, having let them go to rack and ruin in spite of the protests of the commissioner.
 Not only have the towns as a rule neglected the state roads but their own are generally bad on account of the lack of ordinary business method employed in maintenance.
 The macadam from the West Hart ford town line to the borough of Pennington. built through the gener- osity of Alfred Atmore Pope and D. Newton Barney of Pennington, and with which the commissioner had nothing tef do, was given a coat of tar when new, in spite of the protest of the commissioner, who advised wait ing year until 1t had bonded, went to pieces in less than two years, when it was repaired at a cost of $3,500, two thousand of which was contributed by MT. Pope and Is now in bad shape again. through neglect, except for two hundred feet. which was treated with tar, on the advice of the commission er
 It is plainly evident that the condi- ton of, the kind, or the width of our present roads are not due to the neg lect or incompetency of the commis- sioner.
 It is a well known fact among road builders that a macadam road must be kept perfectly surfaced and reason ably wet until it has become thorough ly bonded, which usually takes about a year and then. even with tar or oil, must have constant attention.
 I am of the opinion that now the commissioner may have the machinery and power to maintain state roads that he will give all Connecticut an object lesson of cheap and effective maintenance by employing a man, horse and pile of stone for a given stretch of road, which will be obvious ly cheaper than neglecting it until it

WATTERSON LAUDS TILLhAN
South Carolinian Recipient Of Con-
grstulstions.
VIII Make Another speech in Few
Weeks Attacking President
in Old style.

Before Senator Tillman made his
speech in the Senate, answering the al
tack BY the President upon his char
acter. he received a great many tele-
grams OF encouragement from every
where
Since he made the speech he has re-
ceived a great many more. eongratu-
lating him, and a number advising him
TO go after M Roswell hammer and
tongs. in another speech before the Sen
ate.
This advice Mr.. Tillman has definitely
decided 10 follow. but. ne says. he VIII
say nothing about Mr. Roosevelt that he
viii not have evidence to substantiats.
Henry WatJersOn. in a telegram yes
teTday. expressed his congratulations for
tine manner in which the Senator re-
Piled 70 the President.
Mr TIllDan has already set 20 work
gathering his facts for the assault. and
when he has all the raw materil in
hand that he thinks viii suffice, he viii
set about building a speech. To this be
win add his deductions and comment in
his Own style, which never fails to charm
the galleries and hold all his Senatorial
tDledElrS N LEeir places
Il has been observed that Bir TilIman
drew a Tecord-bTeaking crowd for his
speech in bis own defense Being in the
position Of ar accused man. wounded in
q sensitive spot, and a weight OF evi-
dence 70 combat, he thought best 70 de-
fend himself with judicial argument. and.
aside from that, he probably did not feel
the reckless buOyanCy Of the care-free
man. but the next time when Il IS his
great antagonist that is under fire. and
II IS for him 70 discharge the guns, Il is
expected that the South Carolina Sen
ator viii stir the air and give his au-
ditors the thrill Of his fiery O7atoTy and
picturesque Characterization.
In about ten days or two weeks Mr.
Tillman expects 20 be ready for the al
tack
II is not likely there viii be any inves-
tigatiOn Of the Presidents accusation
against Mr.. Tillmsn by the Senate Com
nittee on Appropriations, which has been
charged with the duty OF investigating
the Presidents fnsinuations in regard 10
members Of Congress and the Secret
Service. and TO which Mr.. Roosevelt sent
the evidence concerning Nj Tifiman's
connection with the land deal
Members Of the Senate apparently are
convinced that there was no violation OF
law on Mr. Tillman's part, and they are
disposed to beneve that nothing would
be accomplished by going into the matter
further. II IS probable. therefore. that
the movement on foot 20 have the com
mittee make a separate report IN regard

FINDS VIOLATIONS
IN PRESIDENTS ACTS

II was Immediately following the routine
morning business, Senator Foraker arose
and began his speech on The latest in
the Brownsville affair
Beginning his address. the Senator re-
viewed the statements made by the Presi-
cent in his messages 20 Congress on the
episode. 1T VIII be noted he said.
that the guilt OF the soldie-s. as charged
BY the President, was. according 70 the
President. 'conclusively established by
the testimony first submitted He took
occasion 70 repeat this in his message
over and over again"
Senator Foraker attacked bitterly the
Presidents methods ''in trying 20 bolster

dlerE. He said:
BOIsterfnE Up Case.
- 90 not hesitate TO say that in NY
opinion. aside from the question whether
there has been a misapprOpriaiiOn OF pub

shocking can be found in ali the history
Of American criminal Jurisprudence.
1T appears from the Presidents last
message, and the exhibits thereto at
tached. showing the mode in which the
detectives are operating, and the testi-
mOny in answer thereto that fraudulent
impersonation, Misrepresentation. lying.

coupled with promises OF immunity. and

Offer OF employment and remUnerative

such as affect the parties making them,

transpiring. and without any opportunity

fense-even TO make an objection that

committed the serious Offence-cOn-
demned by every court that administers
the common Law. that has ever had Occa-
sion to speak on the subject-of holding
out to these men an inducement. or a
a reward. for giving such testimony, in
the form Of re-enlistment, with full pay,
and reinstatement TO all their rights as
soldiers.
1T does not lessen the gravity of his
offence that il appears 10 be impercept-
ible TO him: or, Z not 50. that he has
become utterly Oblivious to ali the re-
straints Of law, deeency and propriety IN
his mad pursuit Of these helpless victims
Of his nl-considered action. Moreover.

under the special subhead OF Military
Establishment 90 Contingencies Of the
Army Therefore. IL was clearly an ap-
preparation made by Congress under its
constitutional power 20 support the
army, and not under or by virtue Of any
other power whatever.
1T viii probably be surprising infor-
nation TO the Appropriations COMMITTEES.
as Il VIII be 20 most Senator's. that this
appropriation, made ten years ago az the
close Of the Spanish-American War, 70
enable the President 10 meet emergency
army contingencies such as were then
arising in connection with our military
establishment. SHOULD have been con-
strued 20 be a permanent appropriation.
and that there IS still a large unexpended
balance out OF which payments Of the
character now under consideration are
being made.
Especially so IN view OF the fact that
the Constitution OF the United States
provides In the enumeration OF the pow
ers OF Congress that II shall have power
TO raise and support armies. but no ap-
preparation OF money 20 that use shall be
for a longer term than two years Under
this provision Of the Constitution. as well
as under the general statutory provision
on the subject. the appropriation lapsed
at the end Of the fiscal year OF I90l, and
no exception OF the statute in favor OF
permanent or specific appropriations
could keep Il in force beyond that date
Duty of Secretary.
AT that time Il became the duty Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury 10 carry the
unexpended balance 70 the general fund
or apply TO Congress for a reapprCpria-
ton Il was doubtless in view OF this
fact that the War Department at that
time estimated for the further appro-
priatiOn Of slO00000. as the report shows
OF the Secretary of War for the fiscal
year ended June 81. 1902. which estimate
was however, disallowed. t would be
interesting TO know how. and why. and
by whose authority the unexpended bal
ance OF 5his fund has been kept avail
able. and for what variety OF purposes
and upon what kind OF vouchers il has
been Illegally drawn upon through all
these years.
I also call attention 10 the fact that II
IS provided BY section is OF the Revised
Statutes that the head Of each depart
ment shall make an annual report TO
Congress, giving a detailed statement OF
the manner in which the contingent fund
for his department has been expended.
Whether the S.O8.0og fund drawn
upon IN this case is under the control OF
the Chief Executive or the Secretary OF
War, Il would seem 20 be the duty OF
somebody 20 make q report with respect
70 L. This appropriation being for the
War Department the report should have
been made BY the Secretary OF War, and
he is not relieved OF that duty By the
fact that the money can be expended only
with the approval Of the President 50
far as 1 can ascertain. no detailed or
itemized reports 10 Congress Of expendi-
lures from this fund have been made.
1t would be instructive and may be
interesting TO have such statements for
each OF the years"
