NEW HIGHWAY SYSTEM
OUTLINED IN BILLS SUBMITTED
TO CONGRESS.
Maj. Judson, Engineer Commission.
er, Has Plan for Unimproved
Outlying Sections Of District.

An entirely new scheme for the high
way system of certain outlying portions
of the city is in the mind OF Maj. Jud-
son, as evidenced by several bills which
have gone to the Capitol in the last few
days. The purpose Of the bills Is to
change the rectilinear street system In
half a dozen unimproved outlying sec.
tions, and arrange to have the streets
and avenues to be built to follow the
line Of hills and valleys.
The four larger areas affected are the
sections lying between Brightwood and
Rock Creek Park; between the Naval OBJ
servatory and Massachusetts, avenue; be-
tween Connecticut avenue extended and
Rock Creek Park, and the portion OF the
District bounded by Broad Branch road,
Rock Creek Park, Utah avenue. North
ampton street and Nebraska avenue
Views of Engineer Commissioner.
In commenting on the scheme this
morning Maj. Judson said.
I'm the old city as L'Enfant laid it out
he adopted the rectilinear street system
until he struck the foothills. and at the
foothills on the north and northwest he
planned a curving road, now Florida
avenue.
1T was evidently in his mind to follow
that plan in the foothills themselves
Too much straight line business has been
carried out in the suburbs as 1t is. and
this new plan will work out SO that
the topography of the country is followed
in laying out new roads"

DECLINE TO INTERFERE.
Commissioners Not Ready to Mix in
Gas Price Question.

II" Commissioners say they do not
want to fix the price of gas at 80 cents
or any other amount until they have
the powers of a public service commits
sion. A bill, introduced into the ouse
by Representative Cary of Wisconsin
fixing the price of gas in the District
at so cents a thousand feet has been
referred to the Commissioners, who have
refused to mix in with this question
until they are empowered to employ
expert advice on all questions relating
to public service corporations.
In declining to advise whether or
not the bill should be passed the Com
Missioners gently hint that if Senate
bill 1922 and House bill 1885 should be
passed, comforting the powers of a
public service commission on the board
of Commissioners, they might have
something to say on gas and other mat.

INCREASE IN VOLUME OF
DEAD LETTER BUSINESS
Total Of 5000 Pieces Received Last
Year In Excess of Pre-
vious Years.

An increase Of 5000 pieces received,
as compared with lie previous year, is
noted in the report Of the division of
dead letters. Post Office Department, for
January, 1910, as follows: Letters OF do
nestle origin. 935. 495, an increase of
GO. 1913: parcels Of domestic origin, 2S,573,
an increase of 3,762, and letters Of foreign
origin, 157, 424. an increase of 11.O42.
AS this increase falls short Of the rate
OF increase in the number of pieces mall
ed during the month, it is held to indi-
cate a general Improvement in the eff
cheney of the service as the result of
the efforts made by the department to
educate the general public in postal mat
tiers, especially the manner of ADDRESSING
matter and the placing thereon of the
senders name and address for the guild

Foreign Destination.
Many Of the parcels received at the
dead letter office were addressed to for
eign destinations, and the reason for
sending them to the dead letter Office
is said to be the failure Of the senders
to properly prepare them for transmits
sion in the mails.
1t Is said the regulations for trans
hitting merchandise by parcels post to
foreign countries are not generally known
or understood. Such matter, it is de-
clared, must always be accompanied with
a customs declaration. filed out by the
sender.
1t is also added that had the letters

who forwarded them they would not
have been sent to the dead letter Office.

Mrs. Ford's Story.
Il came from Portsmouth, Ohio, at the
age Of twenty-five as the wife of Al
fred Ford" she began. I'VE lived happily
for few years, but shadows entered our
life and our joys began to vanish. Shortly
after the birth of my son Alfred, Mr..
Ford and 1 were separated and later
divorced.
while living in West 4th street. Gin
cinnati, l met Edgar Streete Cooke, who
was q boarder in the building l was in,
and became devotedly attached to him.
He filled every desire in my life.
II did not know that he was married
man. and kept me in ignorance of this
for a long while. When l discovered that
he was married our love affair had be-
come too involved to be broken off.
AT this time. shortly after l discoV-
cred his duplicity, Cooke confessed to me
that he was many thousand dollars short
in his accounts with the Big -Four rail-
road. Out of love for him 1 sympathiZed
with him in his trouble and stuck to him
all the closer because of his shortcom-
ings. although he had been deserted by
his wife and family, who feared expo
sure and arrest and were getting ready
to abandon him and let him shift for
himself
He made no secret of his love for me
among his associates or at the office and
caused the people there to wonder II he
was not living beyond his means.

have a state trunk road from Blaine

state, citizens in the eastern part are
| not SO generally acquainted with Mr..
Hills work along this line.
y Soon after | was elected governor.
Mr.. Hill came to me and said he
would give one year of his time
wholly in the interests of better
roads in the state. He has done as
good as his word and even better,
for he has spent thousands of dollars
in furthering plans
HE has given to the state a ma
chine for the spreading of roadbed
material. He has paid the expenses
of one of the best road engineers in
England to come to Seattle and de-
| liver an address. Upon his invitation
K. II. Thompson, city engineer of Sc
attic, and Professor Lancaster of the
state university, were taken to Eng
land and enjoyed three, months trip
| inspecting roads in that country
Mr.. Hill passes much time in visit
ing rural districts and lecturing to
farmers on the subject of good roads.
Just to show what an interest he has
in the work, at the time President
Taft was in Seattle Mr.. Hill left with
out welcoming the distinguished Wis
itor, to fill a lecture engagement he
had in a rural district.
Mr. Hill should be crowned the
father of good roads in Washington.
for | know there is no one individual
who is spending more time and money
| on the project
The good roads project is one of
the most important issues of the day

further the plans"
