MAKESCHARCES AGAINST
Us. ATTORNEYS OFFICE
Senate "Third Degree" Com
mittee Will Hear Attorney
George F. 0rmsby.

To receive charges regarding the alleged
improper handling of certain prosecutions
by the United States attorneys office for
the District OF Columbia. the Senate COM
mittee which is investigating third de-
gree methods will hold an executive ses-
sion tonight.
George F. Ormsby, local attorney. has
asked the committee to take up the mat
ter and make thorough investigation,
and he is to appear before the committee
tonight to make a statement of his claims
and his charges. 1t is not unlikely. that
the United States attorney, Clarence r.
Wilson. will be given an opportunity to
| reply. so that the case in it's general out
line will be fully before the committee.
1t is understood that the action on the
part of the United States attorneys off1ce
to which exception is taken were in con-
nectiOn with certain proceedings alleged to
have been taken against Mr.. Ormsby. in
volving an indictment for libel and the
starting of sanity proceedings. While Mr..
| Ormsby does not want the merits of the
specific cases taken up by the committee,
| 1t Is understood. he does desire that the
attorney and some of his assistants in
bringing the cases shall be probed to the
bottom.
Investigation Not Certain.
! 1t is not certain that the committee
will go into the investigation. In fact,
| 1t is to decide that very question that
the session of the committee is to be
| held this evening. The claims of Mr.
Orn1sby are said to be of serious nature,
but the committee wants to determine
whether or not the matter is within its
jurisdiction and whether or not il has
sufficient basis to require action on the
part Of committee of the Senate
Tonights session will be behind closed
doors. it is explained by Senator Bran
degee, the chairman of the committee
The deliberations Of the committee to
map out it's work. it is stated, are execu-
tive. but il it Is determined that an in
quiry should be made in regard to spe-
cif1c charges the testimony will be taken
at a public session.
1t is understood to be the contention
OF Mr.. Ormsby that the committee has
jurisdiction over the matter under the
general powers given it in the resolution
under which the committee was ap-
pointed.

many millions and has provided more
for the same purpose.
All this has been done without any
fanfare Of trumpets or beating OF
drums. The people are awake. They
realize that nothing so hinders devel-
opment-nothing makes life in the
rural districts more distasteful--noth-
ing adds more to the burdens the farm
ers groan under--than ramshackle
roads. The cost OF building ten miles
of highway looks very big when the
figures are presented in a lump. The
loss to each manswho uses the stretch
es OF boys and sloughs which pass for
roads mounts up every winter to dou-
BILE what the improved road would cost.
The farmers do not or will not real
ize how these small sums taken from
each of them--in the way OF wasted
tlme-worn- out horses and wrecked
wagons--totaI vastly more than they
would be called on to furnish for road
building. The good road. once estab-
lished, can be maintained at what may
be called a merely nominal
outlay.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.


All the country is awakening to the
Importance of good roads. States that
have heretofore been indifferent or only
systematically alive in this matter have
suddenly realized what improved high
ways mean-and are taking steps to
secure them.
New York spent $4,000, 600 on her
roads last year. and win put another
million into them the present twelve
month. Texas in 1910 spent s7,ooo,ooO
in improving her public roads. Geor-
gia's road bill last year was $4,000. 900.
West virginia's $1,15O.OOO. virginia,s
ss50.Oo0, and North Carolina paid out
$4,000 In the good cause.
Down In Arkansas the farmers got
together one day and built seven miles

legislature has before it--with every

abolish the convict lease system Of that
state and put the prisoners to work on
the public roads Maryland has spent
