Ing the project lie said that these three
roads have reached a final agreement
on the proposition, and that as soon as
pleted, Hampton Roads will have by far
the best facilities for handling coal in
the world. The Joint agreement, he
said, was reached after years dis
cussion of the project, in which all
the operating officials of these three
roads have taken part. He says that
there has been for several years an
evident necessity of getting n better
means Of outlet. at which all these coal
carrying roads could join their cars
and ship from the one point. The
Norfolk and Western now has it's docks
at Primers Point, and the Chesapeake
and Ohio at Newport News.

on the western coast of the Unit ed
States and on the eastern and western
coasts of South America. It Is pointed
out that no more ideal point for cheap
transportation OF the great coal de-
posits of West Virginia, Virginia and
Kentucky could DO found than at
Hampton Roads. 1t affords ample har-
Dor facilities. and besides this, 1t Will
also be the nearest hauling point from
the coal fields. These will give the
roads concerned an enormous advan-
tage over competitors in reaching the
worlds, big cities The Chesapeake and
Ohio will be especially fortunate in the
agreement, as It will give an immediate
outlet for the largo coal deposits along
Its line. These deposits arc SO great
that 1t would be century before they

lar channels Of trade to the North

VAGS BEING CLEANED

When Fined $50 They Take Opportunity to Leave
 Speedily

It has often been remarked what a difference a few hours make. An il- lustration of this difference was seen in Judge Highs court yesterday when l.. Smith, who was arrested by Officer Trotter on the charge Of vagrancy, asked to be allowed to change hls plea from not guilty to guilty.
 The change of plea was allowed by the court and Smith was fineI $50. He was allowed an hour and ! half in which to collect the fine, which by .in- written law means that the prisoner Is given an hour and a half to make himself scarce in the city. Smith thanked the court warmly for the i'm piled opportunity and in aa hour and a half he was well and happy On his way.
 The recent raid of city officers against the yagrants has been pro ductiye of better results than any of the previous ones and through it the city has been rid of several undesira. ble characters that infeslci the Ie- stTicted district and were constant menace to the peace and dignity of the city.

The territorial highway party from Phoenix. composed of Robert 4. Craig. citizen member Of the board of con trol; J. B. Girand, territorial eugiuee-; Reese NJ. Ling of Prescott and F. c. Norris, president Of the territorial good roads association, left yesserday morning for Tucson, going by way Of Tombstone and Benson.
 An informal conference between the members of the party and Bishee citizens who are interested ia good roads and especially the territorial highway was held at the Copper Queen hotel Monday evening and road mat ters in general were discussed.
 Mir. Craig stated that the headline in The Review yesterday morning. stating that Benson might be left of the highway, was somewhat mislead- ing, as the board had not finally decid- ed on any route He said further that Benson would be on the highway if it were possible to construct the high way by way of that city. It IS now practically settled that both Bisbe. and Tombstone will be on the Ioule of the highway and possibly Benson.
 The tax levy for territorial road building will probably be levied st tho next meeting of the board, but 1t is said that this money may not be used until after January 1, 1912.
