GOOD ROADS SLOGAN
is BRINGING RESULT
So, 900 Mark Has Been Passed in Campaign to
Raise $40, 900 For Completion Of Highway
From Louisa to Newport News

The contributions to the good roads
fund so fur reported have passed the
$4,000 mark but still lack con
siderable of reaching the mark set as
the ultimate total OF funds desired
from the citizens of Richmond.
The fact. that n larger amount has
not boenSrecelved does not mean that
the movement is mot a popular ono OF
that the final success OF the enterprise
is In doubt; but rather. that hampered
by tho hot wave, very few people hnyo
been approached on the subject, and
that tho question Ia rathor OF reaching
the people and securing their contri-
buttons than anything else at present.
Reports from tho solicitors indicate
that at least 90 per cent. of all parties
approached have contributed to .the
movement which will mean so much
to Richmond as city, as we'll as 10
the citizens individually. e
AS has alrendy been reported. the
work OF building the road is In pro-
gross, and many miles have been actu-
ally constructed. sa
The officials of the two good roads
associations which have united in the
movement are assured by tho county
supervisors that the building OF the
road is now hut n question of assist
ancc from the people OF Richmond,
and that all tho county appropriations,
Us we'll as State MD. Will be put on the
roads as indicated by the touring COM
mittee OF the Richmond Automobile
Club.
Now that the movement has been
started. the success Is practically as
sured by tho spirit manifested by
those in charge, and while many have
contributed. yet q vast majority Of

tanning his seat as senator from ILL.,
nois. Senator Elihu Root used these
words:
Senator Lorimer vouched for Lee
O'Neil Browne in this chamber in a
speech May %, 1910, In which he de-
scribed him as a high minded, strong,
God fearing man VIII 0 had read the
Bible from cover to cover. am glad
that this record permits the belief that

Browne I.orimer was made senator. 1t
is no injustice to hold Senator Lori
mer not to the criminal account that
implies his knowledge, but to the

the action of his agent"

a German saloonkeeper, would not
give him a drink, George Bercey, a
Cuban cigar maker, murdered him.
After firing the fatal shot the muir
derer stepped ont on the sidewalk
and sent two bullets into his own

Bercey entered Leichti's place Of

of the saloon, and, returning sudden

against the unsuspcCting Letchti' S

was killed instantly.
While the only other occupant Of
the saloon dashed into the street to
give the alarm, Bercey walked to the
front door and placing the revolver
against his own breast shot twice.

Is the esteem in which his opinion Is
held that It is known that some mem
bers of the senate have held in abey-
ance their own opinions until they
could hear from him.
There was large attendance Of
senator's and the galleries were we'll
filed. Mr.. Root spoke without notes,
and In the main his address consist
ed of careful analysis of the testi-
mony taken by the committee. The
argument was almost entirely legal.
The speaker lost little time in indi-
eating the conclusion he had reached,
which was entirely antagonistic to Mr..
Lorimer. He took the position that
the investigation committee had been
at fault in permitting either the at
torney for Mr.. Lorimer Of the attor-
ney for the Chicago Tribune to direct
It's course In the matter of connect
Ing Mr.. Lorimer with the corruption
Of members OF the Illinois legislature,
but agreed that even in the face Of
It's faults in this respect the commit
tee had obtained sufficient evidence
effectually to faint and invalidate the
election.
Saying that he had been forced to
this conclusion with deep regret on
account both Of his respect for the
members of the committee and of re-
gard for Mr.. Lorimer, Senator Root
said that he had been impelled to
reach an adverse view in the interest
OF the state OF Illinois and OF the
country at large.

SHOW A STEADY INCREASE
Report Shows Receipts of Slate In,
surance Department Are Grow
ing Substantially.

Madison Revenues of the insur-
ance department show a substantial
increase over last year, according to
Insurance Commissioner II. l..
Ekern, who issued this statement:
THE receipts Of the insurance de-
partmont for the month of January
amount to $35,&&5.57, of which all
but $3ii.91, paid by the Guardian
Life Insurance company, comes
from fire companies. The payments
of nearly all the companies show a
substantial increase AID it is certain
that the revenues will exceed the ag-
gregate of $728A72.75 collected by
the department during the past year.
On all Of this, the increase goes di-
reCtly TO benefit the state treasury,
with the sole exception of the fire
marshal tax, amounting last year to
s29,3ll.03, which is set apart solely
for the fire marshals department"
