ENGINEERS ON
HUNT FOR ROCK
Mr.. Storm and Mr.. Aiken,
DUPONT Road Experts, In
SpeCt Stone QuarrieS
TALK OF CONDITIONS
DOWN In DELAWARE

General r. c. DUPONT came up from
his boulevard operations in Sussex
county this morning and was at his
Office for awhile. He expects to get
the road work under way extensively
next week.
Ernest Storm, Of France, and
Thomas Aiken, county surveyor OF
Fife, Scotland, both eminent engineers
and noted authorities on road build
ing. now in consultation with General
dupont on the best methods to be pur-
sued in the construction of the du-
Pont Road, were in Philadelphia yes
terday looking at materials with thaS
end in view. They are now max
ing round of the stone quarries for
the purpose of determining on a grade
or class of stone to be used in the
DUPONT Road bed
Mr.. Storm built the first macadam
road on a concrete base in Belgium,
that from Ostend to- Blankenburg,
which was built I'm 1902, and which
has proved very satisfactory. In the
building of this road similar condi-
tions were encountered as found IA
the southern end of Delaware, being
built on sandy bottom for a great part
of the way. This road was built on
a concrete foundation made of a mix
ture Of sand and cement, the sand
used being of such formation that
there was a space area of forty-one
per cent. between the grain Of sand
or what is technically known as
voids. These voids were so graf that
it was found difficult 10 fill them with
the cement admixture. Mr.. Storm
says Delaware has very fine sand for
such purposes, but there is found
among It pockets of clay and foreign
material which will deteriorate it IN
comparison to the sand used in the
Belgium roads.
For swamps, such as will be Gu
countered in Delaware, and which are
similar to conditions found at points
in Belgium, it required the dumping
Of stone. or driving Of piling to obtain
a solid foundation on which to build
the road. He lauds General duPdlt
for his munificence in giving the State
/ of Delaware such a road.
Thomas Aiken, the noted Scotch en-
gineer. said they had not yet reach
ed a stage in their Investigations 70
determine the exact character of the
materials and methods to be employed
in the construction of the road.
"The great problem to be solved is
the matter of drainage in a country
like that in southern Delaware" de-
clared Mr.. Aiken. "All this we fore
see, and the road will be so graded as
to avoid long stretches of level. One
thing is certain, and that is that Del
aware will have road built OF tbs
best materials. and by methods Of the
most scientific character known to the
road constructing world"

DENNEY ON TRAIL
OF DISEASED MEATS

Meat Inspector George w. Denney
has received information that diseased
cows are being sold in this city and
county for market purposes; that tho
dealers and purchasers of such cattle
know they are diseased and that the
pure meat laws are being violated by
numerous dealers who are willing to
run the risk of arrest.
Mr.. Denney says he has been in
formed that dealers separate the
healthy from the diseased COWS and
that the diseased COWS are sold at
greatly-reduced prices. He says dis
eased cattle are being smuggled into
Delaware from other states and that
government inspectors are never al
lowed to see them as Is required by
law.
Inspector Denney is making a rigid
investigation, and If this warrants
him in doing so, he will place the
matter in the hands Of the Attorney

his new property is on the road that
winds past his old farm. Now both
Delaware and Maryland are claiming

hayseeds in this district now reckon that
base bal! isn't a bad business if one can
make the success of il that Johnny
Baker has made. Baker, however, can
pillow as well as play ball. and can swing

WHITE HOPES" TODD
BATTLE THIS WEEK
Outcome of Bouts to Furnish
Opponent for Jack
Johnson.

NEW YORK. December 6.-Interest is
growing in the two heavyweight battles
scheduled for this week, and some fight
followers go so far as to predict that an
opponent for Jack Johnson will be de-
veloped as a result of one or the other
Of the encounters. Tom Kennedy. who
is to meet Carl Morris, the Oklahoma
giant tomorrow at the Empire A. c.. has
bly, more friends i'm this district, =
he is a local man and has shown game
hess in sticking To the ring in the face
of a discourag ing start as professional.
In his recent bout with PalZer Kennedy
showed more science than his rival and
his friends say that he will produce even
more cleverness when he meets Morris
That being So the former amateur cham
pion should be bic to win on points
provided he can keep out Of the way OF
the sledgehammer blows of the western
giant.
Following the go at the Empire, Al
Kaufman and Al Palzer will meet at the
National Sporting Club Thursday. The
aggressive tactics OF Palzer assure the
public every time he starts that there
will be fight. Kaufman has not been
years. but Jimmy De Forrest, at whose
quarters he is training. says that kauf-
man is i'm the best condition of his life.
If these two bouts provide clean-cut
winners match between the two victors
would go far toward selecting a possible
opponent for the colored champion.
