There is not, 50 far as know, an un-
safe bridge in my section, and yet MI.
Simpson writes that there isn't a single
bridge in my district safe for horse and
carriage to cross on. Is it possible that
my critic had in mind threshing ma
chimes and engines instead Of the teams
Of farmers? Ais solicitation arouses our
suspicious. These engines, Mr.. Editor,
more than all things else, are responsible
for bad roads and broken bridges out our
way.
The very first bridge Mr.. Simpson refers
to in his article to the Chronicle was in
good shape until the weight of his big
engine broke the timbers. I repaired
this bridge the day the damage was done
and six weeks ago again repaired it.
Dir. Simpsons kicking seems to have
reached the chronic stage. That's ALL
agree with you, however, Mr.. Editor,
that we need money at once and without
more ado a general plan, a competent
engineer, a much larger fund, and, chief
est of all, the hearty, enthusiastic CO.
operation of every taxpayer who is broad
enough to see the multitndinous benefits
accuing from good roads. Yours,

Dear Sir: Personalities should not en-.
ter into this controversy. The people are
interested only in the facts. What are
they?
Last year the Levy Court allowed me
500 90 With this patience 1 was ex-
Pected to keep in repair or build anew,
as the occasion demanded, fourteen brid-
ges and fifteen miles of road bed The
utter impossibility of accomplishing such
a task with the meager means at my dis
posal is at once apparent to fair minded
men.
Handicapped as I was, the facts and
figures will suffice to prove that did all
that mortal man could do for the district
Two cars of stone, not one as my critic
misstates, we're purchased. The cost was
exactly SSl Is. One car of % tons was
hauled by the farmers of the neighbor-
hood free Of cost to the county or districl.
More than one-third of this car was haul
ed with my teams and without any ex-
pense whatever to the taxpayers.
The cost Of carting the second car Of
stone was just SIS 90, and as a result Of
this expenditure of S99l6, Mr. Editor,
we have 300 yards, not 100 yards as Mr..
Simpson charges, dollar for dollar the
equal of any in the State of Delaware.
With an "a cents balance and an addi-
tional allowance of $1,000 from the Levy
Court, repaired broken bridges as ra-
pidly as bad weather and depleted trea-
sury would permit.
It is true that the road dividing the
Mastens and Sharp farms is ia rather
deplorable condition, although it is not
axle deep in mud, as Mr.. Simpsons i'm.
agination leads him to insist. But this lie
entirely due to the mistake, not the in
competency of my predecessor, a super
visor Of Republican persuasion. In 1908
he hired men and teams at $500 day to
cover this road with what? Why,
saw dust And now | am abused for not
having carted this saw dust away and
stoned the road-bed when there wasn't
dollar in the treasury with which to be- |
yin the work !

TAFT PLANS EXTENSION
TO TEN DAYS VACATION
Yacht MayfIower viii Be Used on
Presidents Trip

BEVERLY, Mass, July president
Taft is going to extend the ten days
vacation, which he began yesterday, by
taking ten days cruise on the yacht
Mayfiower, beginning July IS. The
presidents present vacation is not up
until July 16, so this will leave only
Sunday, July II, intervening.
Accompanied by the members of his
immediate family, by his brother,
Horace d. Taft, and by as many
friends as the limited quarters of the
Mayflower will accommodate, the presi-
dent will sail up the north coast. He
will stop for day or two at Bar Har-
Dor and may drop in at several other
resorts and points of interest. The
golf sticks will be carried along and
whenever an attractive looking set of
eighteen holes appears on the horizon
the Mayflower win anchor forthwith.
Commander Snowden is in command
of the Mayflower. There is chance
that the little Sylph may trail along
in the wake of the Mayflower, but this
has not been determined.
The president played golf this morn
ing.

Metropolis Consumes More Than
One Half Total Stone I'm
port to Country
PRICE DOUBLED IN 9 MONTHS
German Producers Have Advant-
age Over Other Operators in
South African Fields
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, July New York city
takes more than one-half of the entire
diamond production OF the world, ac-
cording to the statement received in the
Maiden Lane district here from Henry
w. DiedTich, American consul general
at Antwerp.
This country paid at the docks last
year more than $46,000,0G0 for precious
stones of all kinds, and Of this amount
nearly $45,0000 600 was paid in New
York. These totals break all records.
The diamonds brought in were valued
a s3S, ,0O0, coo. Nearly quarters of
these We're in cut stones.
Diedrich also sent the New York dia-
mond trade the first definite report on
the new diamond fields in the German
colony in South Africa where more
than $50, 900, 600 has been spent in de-
velopment. The German mines have
been turned over to a German syndi-
cate which has it's cutting factories in
Antwerp and New York.
Though a few large stones have been
found in the German South African
mines, ranging from five to seventeen
carats, the average weight thus far is
one third of a carat. Only one or two
shipments of the rough stones have
been made to New York, as diamond
cutters here object to cutting stones of
less than three-eighths of carat in
weight, but large quantities of these
small stones, after being cut in Ant
werp and Amsterdam, have been sent
to New York for the use of jewelry
manufacturers in this and other cities.
The yield Of the diamonds in the Ger
man colony has increased to 10000
carats a month"; and the quality has
also improved so that the price per
carat is now nearly double what it was
nine months ago. The cost of produc-
tion in diamond fields of the German
colony is light, so cents to SO a carat as
the stones are taken from the sands
and surface grounds. This gives an ad-
vantage over the companies operating
the mines in British colonies where the
mines have been dug to depth of
third to a half mile and the cost of
production ranges from $4 to s.
carat.

EXPERIMENTAL EVOLUTION
IN INFANCY SAYS TOWER
Gives Results of His Experiments
with Potato Bugs

CHICAGO, July Fifteen years of
experiment with potato bugs has con-
vinced Prof. William L. Tower. biol
ogist of the University of Chicago,
that environment causes variation of
species. Prof. Tower in a lecture yes
terday before summer students of the
university told the results of his re-
search in Arizona and New Mexico
This theory has long peen held, and
1 feel that I have proved it without
chance of controversy" said Prof.
Tower. II took three species of potato
bug to the southwest. 1 put them in
different parts of the country and in
type. The outcome of these expert
ments has convinced me that expert
mental evolution is still in it's in

EXPECT GREAT RESULTS
RUSSO JAPANESE PACT
st. Petersburg Paper Declares
Two Nations Should Agree
Special to The Heraldl

ST. PETERSBURG, July THE
Novoe Vremya in a leading article to-
day expressed the belief that the
Russo japanese convention would ac-
complish great things. The Vremya
considers it a foundation for durable
peace in the far east, serving as a bar
rier against encroachments of outsiders
in that sphere, adding that neighborly
relations relieve Russia and Japan of
the burden of heavy armaments, en-
abling Russia to complete the Amur
railroad and continue colonization on a
vast scale.
The Vremya declares the situation
created by the convention is unfavor-
able to Korea, China and America and
the Central European powers in so far
as their policies are based on a contin-
uations of misunderstanding between
Russia, China and Japan. 1t declares
that Secretary Knox's Manchurian
proposal was instrumental in hasten
ing the consolidation of the conven-
ton. 1t ascribes to the same cause
the insertion of the clause for joint ac-
ton of the contracting powers toward
propositions disturbing the status quo.
The Vremya recalls that Mr.. Knox en-
tered into the preliminary negotiations
regarding the Iagun railroad without
Russias knowledge and obtained Jap
ans theoretical consent, which was
embarrassing to Russia.

WEALTHY BROKER APPLIES
FOR PEDDLER'S LICENSE
Keeps in Readiness to Follow the
Push Cart Again

NEW YORK, July THE chief of
the mayors license bureau and the
mayors secretary are still wondering
today why a man attired in the
height of fashion and bedecked with
diamonds should want a push cart
peddler's license at the rate of 81 a
year.
B. Chenkin, who presented a neatly
engraved card showing him to be a
real estate broker with money to loan
on mortgages, applied for the license
yesterday.
What do you want with a push
cart license?" asked the astonished
chief of the bureau.
well, l don't push the cart myself
any more,' was the brokers' reply,
"but one never knows what may hap
one for eighteen years"
The license was refused and Mr.
Chenkin went away declaring he
would take the matter into the courts.

ZELAYA MAY OFFER TO
WITHDRAW HIS GUNB0AT

WASHINGTON, July From the
state department the report was given
out today of rumors reaching it that
former President Zelaya has offered to
have the Venus withdrawn from Mica
ragua waters on certain conditions.
This would be the first admission
from Zelaya, if the rumor prove true,
that he had any control over the
armed vessel which has been plying on
the eastern coast of Nicaragua.
The conditions which the rumor said
Zelaya had named were that protec-
ton be given to his personal estate in
Nicaragua, which is reported to be
very large, and that he be recompensed
$50 900, the first payment made on the
Emery claims, owned by Americans
and adjusted in an agreement between
the United States and Nicaragua just
before the uprising in the Central
American country.

JAPANESE TO ATTEMPT
EVASION IN SEAL CASE
Boats Seized Within Limits of the
PribyIoff Rookeries

VICTORIA, B. c., July 7.-Japanese
newspapers received today contain ex-
plantations of the grounds on which
Japan is basing her claim for damages
on behalf of the owners of the sealing
schooners Ten Yu Maru and Kaisci
Maru, seized by United States revenue
cutters in Bering sea last year and sold
following confiscation by the American
government
The Jill Shimpo says the contention
of the Japanese government is that the
action of a small boat cannot reflect
on the vessel to which it belongs, while
the United States holds that the boat
is part of the schooner and the
schooner is liable to seizure and con-
fiscation for its offenses.
The two sealers were seized because
small boats from them were found
within the prohibited limit off the
Pribyloff seal rookeries.

ADVISE COMPTROLLER TO
CHECK UP SMALL BANKS

CHICAGO. July 1.-The national
bank examiners of the sixth district
closed a two-days' semi-annual meet
ing in the federal building after maxi
ing some drastic recommendations to
the comptroller of the currency rel
ative to methods of checking up on
country banks. In a resolution adopted
by the examiners the comptroller is
advised to make strict Investigations
of the country banks and adopt new
regulations for controlling their re-
ports. Some country banks, it was
maintained by the experts attending
the meeting, have been guilty of
evasions of the national banking laws
by borrowing money from city banks
that the exact state and extent of
their liabilities in their published
statements may not be shown to the
people.
The comptroller is advised to re-
quest all country banks to make under
oath full and specific statements or
their liabilities and assets.

Takes Five Policemen to Hold the
Slender Prisoner Down

NEW YORK, July ANDREW Bric-

he looks as if he would be a bad loser
in battle with a husky canary bird,
gave an exhibition in jefferson Market

shame the efforts of the stage "hand-
cuff kings" Briccini, who had been
arrested on a charge of trying to kill
his wife and baby, coolly snapped in
twain a pair of handouts which had

them, too, with ridiculous ease, where
upon five policemen jumped on him and
held him down. He will be held for

HERMIT WILLS ESTATE TO
CHURCH IN THE HOLY LAND
Newspaper Man Once Friend OF
Carnegie Dies

Nicholas Dale, a former newspaper
man who had lived for years a hermit
like life on siXty-five cents a week,
as he boasted, was filed today, direct
ing that 1880 which he had saved be
forwarded to the Holy Land to the
Sorrowful Mother and Blessed Virgin
church erected 1900 years ago in the
path of the cross.
He wrote that he had long desired
that all his worldly goods "be left in
the last footsteps of our Divine Lord
on his last journey while yet in the
flesh and blood.'
AS a writer he was once well known
here for his intimate acquaintance
with the steel industry and its lead
ers, including Andrew Carnegie.
