SHILLING MAY
GET NO LICENSE
Jockey Who Rode at Ell Paso
and Juarez Had Trouble
With EMPLOYER.

New York, April Hockey C. H.
Shilling was refused a license by the
stewards of the Jockey club, at meet
ing held in the Windsor Arcade yester-
day. His application was not definitely
denied, but was tabled. which action
has the same effect, at least temper
arily.
Last fall Shilling. while in the en-
ploy of R L. Thomas, had an alterca-
ton with his employer, in which he is
alleged to have stabbed Thomas seri-
ously. This charge is still hanging over
him in the courts and will come up for
trial shortly Shilling rode at Ell Paso,
Juarez and Oakland during the win
ter months, and it was thought that
he might be granted a license for the
coming season.
Sam c. Hildreth, who will campaign
one Of the biggest stables ever raced
on the American turf this year had
engaged Shilling TO ride for him, pro-
vided he secured a license. and the
tabling of Shilling's application will
leave Hildreth without a irstclass
jockey. According to announcement
several months ago. Shillings retainer
was to be $4,000 with the usual win
ming and losing fees.
After assaulting Thomas last fall
Shilling went to Baltimore and was
permitted to ride. 1t was believed be-
cause OF this permission he would be
recognized by the Jockey club. and
served TO cause Hildreth TO make a
contract with the rider.

Good Roads ard the Auto.

While the automobile has been re-
sponsible, therefore, for the increased
deterioration of roads formerly sup
posed to be almost perfect in con-
struction, it has focused attention
on the necessity for good roads, has
been largely responsible for the ac-
tive educational campaign in this
regard, and has undoubtedly had an
excellent effect in bringing to the pub
lie attention the enormous waste in
cident to poor and ill-kept highways.
Realizing that the automobile is n
necessary factor to consider in high
way traffic, ROAD engineers nave been
experimenting with new construc-
tions, in order 20 arrive at the road
which will best embody the require
ments of automobile traffic without
any detrimental effect on the horse
traffic involved. BY far the largest
proportion of the highway construc-
ton conducted along the new lines
for the adaptation of the road to auto.
mobile traffic has been done with
various forms of bitumen, oils, tars
and asphalts, and up to the present
the most satisfactory results from
the point of view of economy have
been with these materials.-H. Tip

about taxing my forty acres into the
