The Road to the Mountains.

Engineer Lewis. assistant to Yer
non l.. Sullivan, Territorial Engineer.
made a statement of the work that
has been done in building a road to
tAe White mountains. He told that
the Territory bad spent $1,000 on this
road. much of IL on the big hill at Pi-
cacao. and that the road was now in
good condition except at what is
Nnowa as Border Hill He explained
how with very little work taiS hill
could be put in shape for light rigs,
but that II would take s.. 900 to put
II in condition for loads and auto;uo-
biles. He also explained how anoth-
er road can be taken three or -four
miles out of the way by which this
hill can be avoided. The expenditure
of the $4,000 additional money was
the practical thing to do. he thought,
making the road west to Lincoln, Car
rizozo and Tularosa complete, the 9th
er end having been worked by Lon
coin county.
Frank Coe. who lives in that section
of the country, at Glencoe approved
of what Mr.. Lewis had to say but of
fered nothing additional.
VIII Norris, while very anxious for
a road To Tularosa, did not approve
of spending $4,000 on Border Hill. He
approved of another route avoiding
the hill. He also made the public of
fer that if any one would tell him
where there is bad place in the road
anywhere in this part of the county
and such place does not embody grad
ing and other such heavy work he
viii take some of his men and repair
il without cost. In this way he put in
fine shape road almost to the south
end of the county at a cost to the
county OF S17.
VIM. Atkinson, called upon, did not
think the county was in shape TO
spend $4,000 on Border Hill. as had
been suggested. He showed where
rhe county was planning to spend
$4,000 building a road across the
sands east to the plains, and would
not have any road money left. F'urth-
ermore.. the people of other sections
Of the county would not favor spend
ing that su1n on the roads across the
line in Lincoln county.
The mountain roaa matter was fin
ally left in the hands of the old con-
mittee composed of Will Norris, j.
r. AtFeson and Charles de Bermond,
who have already done good work ON
the proposition.

that the quantity of moisture in the air

The value to be attached to this opin-
ion is measured by the high professional
standing of the man who expresses It.
He has received many medals for the
skill displayed In his researches. He
has twice been invited to deliver the
SiIliman lectures on astronomy at Yale
The body to which he presented his
paper regarding Mars is the most select

preclude the possibility that there Is

supposition that 1t exists there IN aoun-

THE LEE STATUE MATTER.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The resolution yesterday Dy the
New York Department, G.. A. r. while 1t
expresses a proper sentiment. is failure
In practical application 1t suggests that
the President instruct the law officers OF
the government" to construe the law OF
1864 against accepting or permitting to re-
main in Statuary Hall any statue with uni
form which bears evidence of a disloyal
action to the national government under
the Constitution.

where the question would have to be ad-
Indicated, although IL never has been ex-
cept by physical force. as to whether Cen
eral Lee was "disloyal to the national gov
ernment under the Constitution"
The New York Encampment should have
first addressed its own Congressman, and
then requested the coming national en-
campment respectfully to request the State
of Virginia TO recall the Lee statue.
Another plan that finds favor is to have
Virginia substitute statue OF General Lee
in civic garb. either i'll the Capitol or in
his family mansion in Arlington. Should
these requests not be respected, then in
another year the national encampment
could request Congress to remove the
statue. WILLIAM HEMSTREET,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
TO CHARLTON CASE.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The legal and diplomatic complica-
tions arising in the Charlton murder case
are not unlike those In murder mystery
in France a few years ago. 1 went abroad
to secure evidence in this case.
A New York man had married wealthy
widow for her money. and three months
later she died from poison administered by
the husband. At the very hour the woman
was dying In Nice the husband was enter
tanning his mistress at Monte Carlo L got
enough evidence to convict this man. Affi-
davits were obtained from the chemist who
sold the poison, from physicians, nurses,
servants, undertaken and others, and the
evidence was presented to the presiding
criminal judge for the South of France
After three days conference he rendered
this opinion:
That the United States government would
not surrender an American citizen to be
tried for murder In France, consequently
he could not act in the premises. He re-
tanned copy Of the evidence, however,
and declared that If the murderer ever
again stepped foot on French soil he would
be arrested and tried.
Returning to New York. 1 laid the case
before the District Attorney, who declared
he could not place on trial and convict an
American for a crime committed in France.
So lf precedent goes for anything in the
legal relation between governments Chari-
ton will gain his freedom.

The stage serves. among other pur-

Starting from this point Of view, an ingen-

the theory that the crinoline played an

RACK TO THE OLD PLACE.

How many plans are made for the
days of summer freedom and rest, now
many are not carried out, to the greater
comfort and benefit of the vacationist!
There are elaborate beginnings IN late
spring. much consultation OF the summer
resort advertising columns, and much
writing for timetables and pamphlets IN
consequence. The spirit of exploration
Is ,1pon us: we would see new places,
discover some new paradise; above all,
we are determined not to return to the
SPOT where last years holiday was spent.
That would be too tame. Friends are
consulted, each with suggestions OF his
own. with "reminiscences OF past de-
lights, expectant Of new ones.
More booklets then. more timetables
of railroads and saillngs of steamers.
Unless one plans his trip very Tar ahead
and adheres to his plan the ultimate re-
suit will be indecision. Phyllis, con-
suited throughout. automatically seeks

so little time to spend on the problem.

lar place Some cool. dim nook in the

ened memory Of the dappled beauty OF

best TO carry out the law requiring as
close an approximation to equality as
practicable. But when, as an after
thought. legislature detaches a single
county from a smaller district TO add II

political motive for the change is OBJ
Yious. the violation Of the letter and
