Among Charges on List of Criminal
 Business for September Term.

There will be a large amount of criminal business for consideration at the September term of the superior court for WiHdham county.

The list for the September term has the name of one woman charged with murder, the names of three persons charged with nansIa ueshter, and those of others charged with various high crimes. including arson and highway robbery.

Return from Motoring Trip.

Dr. and Mrs Louis I. Mason, who have been On a three weeks motoring trip, returned home Saturday. after s fine outing. The Aasons followed the New Hampshire and Vermont and into Canada by way of Stanstead and thence to Quebec and Montreal and returned by way of Lake George and Champlain and back through Vermont to the nutmeg state.
 Dr. Mason said Sunday that roads in Canada are very bad: in fact, one could hardly call them roads, although when making queries about them would be informed that they were good. He said that they were prin- cipally of clay fn the country sections and full of holes filled with water and that driving was dangerous and one could not exceed speed of six or seven miles in many places. To show how really poor the roads are in Can ada he cited a two days run that only measured 19S miles. He said that in Quebec proper there were q few miles of fair roads and for a num- her of miles leading out of the citv but that they were truly bad between there and Montreal. and then in the city of clutches there were only about Is miles of good roads, or roads that would compare at all favorably with ones we call but fair in the states. Most of the roads in Montreal are of worn out macadam and fast going from bad to worse The doctor did Mon treal thoroughly. spending a number of days there. He said that in Mon- treal and Quebec that there were a few miles of oiled roads. He had a num- Der of days running where he could not make more than 10 miles an hour.
 Some of the roads in that part of Canada that are more passable than others are equipped with toll bridges and a fee of 15 ceuts= is charged to cross by automobile.
