FORT TO FORT ROAD.
Anthony Measure Has Hard Time in
Committee.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE house COM
mittee on military affairs spent four
hours Thursday afternoon on the bill
by RepreS entatfve Anthony to order
the building of military road from
Fort Leavenwortfl to Fort Riley. The
committee finally told Mr.. Anthony to
recast his bill and bring it back for
further consideration The bill now
says the secretary of war is directed"
The new draft must say: "The secre-
tary of war is authorized" to use la
berers in the government prisons at
Fort Leavenworth to build the road.
The difference is apparent. Under the
old bill the secretary was required to
do what under the new bill will be
n1atter at his option.
However, Anthony is anxious to have
the bill passed in either form. as there
is a fair chance that the secretary of
war might order the work done when
the completion of the prisons at Leav-
eflworth leaves men serving sentences
ON hand with no work provided, unless
the government should &c into the shoe
making business or something of that
sort.
There was considerable spirit shown
in the a~-ument and some members of
the committee said there was no more
reason why the government should
build good roads for the farmers of
Kansas than for the farmers of their
c1vn states. Anthony's answer was that
the other states were remote from the
prison, that the two forts are so To-
Gated that a road between them would
be valuable in many ways for training
work of the army
He said the Kansas farmers would
furnish the rock for making the
1nacadam free of cost to the govern
Inent and the townships and counties
through which the road would run
would make any kind of guaranty re-
atlired that they would look after the
maintenance of the road. An objection
that it would be necessary for the state
of Kansas to cede jurisdiction of the
road to the government ser the con-
stitutiona1 lawyers on the committee to
talking. but in the finish they waived
objection. Representative Anthony be-
lieves that he can obtain favorable
report of the committee on the bill,
though it will have long way to go
after the report is filed.
