50-YEAR-OLD ROAD
IS STILL GOOD
W. H. Hill, Advocate of Good Roads
Cites National Pike To Show
Permanancy of Paving.

w II. Hill. president OF the w. II.
Hill Co., residing at No. 700 Cass-ave.,
is a strong advocate for good roads.
he has done lot OF driving in connec-
tion with his business and is firmly
convinced that Wayne county needs
better highways. He has Just re-
turned from an auto trip through Can
ada and the eastern states and SAYS
In most places the roads he travelled
we're better than Detroit's boulevards.
He Is surprised. he says, to find Aid.
Vernon endeavoring to discourage the
bonding OF Wayne county for the pur-
pose OF building better roads.
THE fact is said Mr.. Hill to The
Times. that Michigan today has poor
er roads than any state east OF Illinois
and north OF the Ohio river. And
why? Because there are too many
men with Mr.. Vernor's ideas living in
Michigan.
"Thirty-fve years ago. when start
ing In business and introducing our
goods, | drove either my own team
or livery, into every little hamlet
between Maine and Denver, north oi
the Ohio river. had 10 years oi
that kind OF experience, and / seldom
met a man, who was travelling by
team, that, when good or bad roads
were up for discussion, did not make
the remark: L believe that Wayne
county, Mich, has the worst roads OF
any section of the country know
from practical experience that that
was true then and has been true ever
since.
Since the days of automobiling,
have toured nearly $4,000 miles, and
without exception, have found the
roads leading into and out OF Detroit

GRANTS RESPITE
TO DR.. CR|PPEN
Home Secretary Churchill Will Give
Case Thorough Hearing Before
Allowing Execution.

LONDON, Nov. THE date for the
execution by hanging of DR.. II. II.
Crippen, murderer of his wife. Belle
Emore, the music hall singer, was to-
day postponed for two weeks or more.
Though no definite date has been set
The day originally fixed was tomor-
row.
The postponement was ordered Off.
cially by the Home Office, which is
taken by many TO indicate that Home
Secretary Winston Churchill will at
least give the case a thorough hearing
before he allows Crippen to go to the
gallows.
Late today 1t was semi-officially an
nounced that the execution would take
place on Wednesday, Nov %, unless
grant Communication or pardon to the
wife-murderer.
At Scotland Yard ii was said that
the postponement of the execution
had nothing to do with the Philadel
phia report that Mrs. Crippen is alive
and hiding as the result of a fiendish
plot to send her husband to death
The authorities declared that they had
not heard of the rumor, nor had they
heard OF the offer OF DR.. Munyon, the
Philadelphia patent medicine manu-
facturer, to pay $4,000 for information
leading to the discovery OF Belle Ell
more, alive.
Solicitor Newton, who has repre-
sented Crippen ever since the latter
was arrested at Father Point, Quebec
is busily engaged with the other law
yers in drafting a petition to Home
Secretary Winston Churchill, asking
either that he grant an unconditiona
pardon TO Crippen, or that he commute
the sentence to life Imprisonment
Acting in the kings name. the home
secretary Is now the only official who
has the power to save Crippen from
the gallows.
While 1t is believed Churchill viii
investigate the case thoroughly II is
hardly likely he will interfere to save
the prisoner. II Is against precedent
in England for the home secretary to
intervene when a jury has found
prisoner guilty and the Court Of Grim.
inal Appeal has sustained the verdict.
Unless, therefore, Crippen's lawyers
can bring to light great deal OF
hitherto unrevealed evidence, II is be.
lieved the American will die ON
Nov. %.
In some quarters IL is said the post
ponement was due to the ancient Eng
llsh custom which allows n prisoner
two Sundays on earth between the
final hearing OF his case and the date
of execution. Crippen was allowed
two Sundays between his original trial
and the date first fixed

ADOPTS COMMISSION PLAN.
Port Huron Voters Choose New Form
OF Government BY Good Majority.


OF Government BY Good Majority.
PORTS HURON. Mich. Nov. T.
Port Huron has taken its place in the
ranks OF the cities which have adopted
the commission form OF government
The vote polled Saturday was lighter
than was anticipated, but a majority
was returned In every one OF the IL
wards excepting two favoring the
adoption OF the new plan. The major
ity was 764.
Under the new form of government
the city administration is to be in
charge Of the mayor and four commits
sioners. There will be abolished the
Office Of city controller, the water
works department. public works de-
partment as at present conducted, city
council, board Of estimates and a score
OF minor boards. One commissioner
will look after the parks and public
works, another will Fave supervision
over the police and FIRE departments
and another over the financial affairs
of the city.
A peculiar situation now exists in
city politics. as on Tuesday occurs the
state. county and city election and the
voters will pass upon the selection Of
a mayor and aldermen. No matter
who is elected on the city ticket Tues
day. none Of the officials outside Of po-
lice justice will assume the duties of
their office, as the adoption OF the
commission form OF government to-
day vacates the city election.

The bigger the Republican vote in
Wisconsin the greater the victory for
progress and insurgency. If progress

It's representatives In congress. Thirty
state legislatures who will choose
United States senators will be elect

Maine and Vermont have already

So II Is that a Democratic victory In

sentially the same as a Republican
victory In Indiana or California.
This article is written to help the
reading of the election returns in the
