Oyster Bay, N. Y, March S.-After an all day ride, Colonel Roosevelt reached home tonight from his campaign trip through the central states which began las. Tuesday night He spoke Tn elght states. He said that he was well pleased with his trip and believed 1t would have practical results.
 Colonel Roosevelt gave out statement in which he declared that majority or the New York newspapers had sup pressed news relating to his campaign; that on this account people in New York did not realize how deeply stirred the country has been by the infamy of the so-called primaries on Tuesday last in this city.' He asseiSed that the men who had MT. Taft's interests In New York in their keeping, in the most bare faced manner cheated the people out or their right to an hopest vote
 The statement also contained a refer- ence to President Tafts speech in Phila- delpha last night
 Last night MT. Taft said that pros perity was coming, and that we should do nothing to check it. Colonel Roose- welt said Tn the first place l do not be- lieve that permanent prosperity will come through or by dishonesty and in the next place 1 believe that this country cannot afford to purchase prosperity on such terms; cannot afford to accept prosperity as the price of dishonesty and eorrup- ton such as we have seen in the last few days"

Washington March 31.-(Special )- Though many bills have been introduced in Congress during the past several years looking to the improvement of the pub lie highways of the country no one of them has so far received respectable con- sideration.
 Those members who are interested in federal aid for the building of better highways have been in conference lately and have decided among themselves to dis>;sr.m all personal credit and work for one bill to the end that some action be secured
 Out of this cooperation has evolved a bill and an idea that is creating con- siderable interest and may result in some thing practicable. The bill has been re- ferred to the House committe on agri- culture and it is hoped that it will be reported out and passed in some form at the present session.
 The bill provides for the classification of roads and that the government pay for the use of these roads in transport ing mills over them just as railways are paid for the transportation of mails. It IS estimated that uIuef the cidspi- fication carried in the bill that SIP. ,00t will be required for the first year. Following is the full text of the bil as introduced by Congressman Byrne' of South Carolina after a conference witt other members who have agreed to sup | port the measure.
 | Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representative of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That certain highways of the several states and of the civil subdivisions of the sev- eral states and of companies incorpor- ated under the laws of the several states are, for the purposes of this act, divided into the following classes:
 Class A shall embrace wellgraded roads, outside of incorporated cities, towns and villages, or not less than one mile in length upon which the steep est incline shall not exceed per centum. wherever practicable. and not less than 25 feet wide between the side ditches, well drained, with a wagon way or road track not less than II feet wide com- posed of bituminous macadam, or a more expensive or durable type of pavement, laid on a properly constructed founda- tion, and maintained with firm, smooth surface, both shoulders and roadway properly constructed and cared for con tinuously.

PROBE INDUSTRIAL
 SITUATION IN IOWA

New York, March 31.--The special committee appointed by the commits sion on the church and social serv- jce of the federal council of the churches of Christ in America to in vestigate the industrial situation at Muscatine, Ia made public today re- port in which 1t urged state inyesti- gation.
 The comlttee, composed of officers of organizations of various religious de- nominations. spent 10 days at Musea- tine, where for more than year some 2700 button makers have been idle as the result of labor troubles.
 After making suggestions to both employers and workers the committee recommends that the state of Iowa should order an investigation of cer- tain phases of the button industry.
 It recommends the appointment Of state commission to report on the em- ployment and conduct of special police officers from outside the state whom the button workers charge with bru- tallty. Finally 1t recommends to the governor and the legislature the erea- ton of an "industriaP commission, similar to that in Wisconsin.
