SUGGEST IMPROVEMENTS
FOR CITY HOME IN VERONA,

When the budget for the City Home
in Verona for the coming year is pre-
pared it will include requests for sew
eral improvements which were recon-
mended at a meeting of the City Home
trustees in the mayors office last night.
Trustee Louis V. Aronson laid stress
ON the need of a central dining hall and
kitchen, the installation of linotype
machines in the printing department
and provisions for technical study of
other trades for the institution.
Mr.. Aronson asserted that if other
trades we're taught ii would enable
the BOYS who left the institution to
compete with Others with some degree
of success. The mayor n trustees
agreed with Mr.. Aronson, and pro-
visions for the improvements will prob
ably be included in the next budget.
Superintendent Heller suggested a
thorough elementary curse for the
boys, as many of them are not pro-
ficient in the primary school funda-
mentals. There are 178 boys at the
institution, the highest number in
eleven years. 1t was decided to hold
the Christmas festival at the home
on Sunday, December "a.
Frederick A. Braun was appointed
instructor of printing, having been
certified by the Civil Service Com
mission.

STATE SUPERVISION OF
PLANK ROAD Is URGED,

That Plank road conditions would be
greatly improved if the road were put
under State supervision is the opinion
of the majority of local merchants to-
day, following the meeting in the Board
of Trade rooms, at which Colonel f. A.
Stevens, State commissioner of roads,
was present. Colonel Stevens made
an inspection of the road, ac-
companied by Alderman Alfred
II. Biertuempful. Theodore Lawshe
and J. j. Hill and the delega-
ton received a mud bath. The COM
missioner declared the condition of the
road was an outrage. He reminded the
members of the Merchants and Manu-
f~acturers' Association who were pres
ent that his authority in the matter
| was limited, but promised to use his in
fluence with the boards of freeholders
and do what he could.
In addition to the members who made
the Plank road trip there were present
former Mayor w. II. r. Fielder, former
Judge Gottfried Kruger, j. H. Wood,
A. c. Becker and George l.. Stats.

only light draught craft,
United States secret agents have been
busy investigating the affair. and il
their reports are as alarming as has
been intimated, the home government,
it is believed, will notify Costa Rica
and Nicaragua that the grant of canal
rights between the Atlantic and Pacific
will be regarded as unfriendly to the
United States.
The plan of the Washington govern
ment when contemplating the Nicara-
guam canal route was thai the water
course should begin at San Juan del
Norte. on the Atlantic t:ean follow the
course of the San Juan river to Lake
Nicaragua, and by canal thence to
Brito, on the Pacific coast.
Tho plan of the Berlin syndicate is
said to be to take advantage of the or
iglnal waterway to Lake Nicaragua,
and then use the course of the Sapoa
river to n point where the latitude line
which runs through SaIaas Island and
calinas bay also bisects the Sapoa
river. The di1tance between the Sapoa
river and Salinas bay at this point is
ABOUT seevn miles. 1t is planned to di-
vert the flow of the Sapoa river at this
p)it by means of a Gam through an
abandoned water course and a number
OF ravines. until eventually. by Il short
canal. it will empty into S2.-nas bay,
opposite Salinas Island.
1t is alleged that there are = great
number of underground rivers through
the Salinas bay section. and the Ger
maj engineers believe the annual earth
quakes. overflow of water and other
natural means will aid them IL make
the canal a possibility.

Arrest OF French Consul by Spanish
Troops in Morocco Follows Secret
Meeting Between Spanish King and
German Diplomat.

London. July 1S.-That the Fran
so-Spanish difficulties in Morocco.
may yet involve Great Britain and
Germany in a four cornered dispute,
which may result in war, is feared in
diplomatic circles here today.
Tension, already strained danger
ously near to the point Of breaking,
through Germany's landing of troops
at Agadir, is intensified today by the
arrest of the French consul at Alca-
zar by the Spanish troops.
1t is not believed in official cir
cles hat France will swallow the
deliberate affront and England, it
is expected, will line up with France
in case Of hostilities.
The fact that the arrest of the
French consul followed a secret con-
ference between King Alfonso and
Prince Radiber, the German ambas-
sador. indicates that Germany has
given every assurance that she stands
back of Spain in struggle that might
start between the two southern Euro
pean nations.
