CONSIDER LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

Washington, March 5.-Advocates
of the highway plan for Lincoln
Memorial, for which Congress appro-
priated 100000, appeared today be-
fore the library committee of the
House to urge the adoption of their
plan. The hearing is on a measure
introduced by Representative Borland,
which provides that the memorial
shall take the form of a great high
way or boulevard. While the bill
states no specific route, it is likely
that if the plan is adopted the road
will extend from Washington to Get
tysburg.
1t is expected that Congress will
reach a final decision on the matter
within a week or two. The commits
sion in general charge of the memorial
recently reported in favor of utilizing
site on the Mall in Washington for
erecting an architectural tribute to
Lincoln in the form of a Greek tenn
pie. Speaker Clark and majority of
the members of the House, however,
favor the highway plan, and it now
seems likely it will be adopted. After
today's hearing the library committee
will report to the House and the mat
ter will probably be taken up immedi-
ately and threshed out
"a highway would not only be of
public service" said Speaker Clark,
'but in my opinion it would be far
better suited to a perpetuation of Lin
coins fame than an architectural Gre
alton. Lincoln's life was devoted to
the service of the people, and a me-
mortal ought to be Of the same nature
to fit in with the ideas so frequently
expressed. His fame was inseparably
connected with. Washington and Get
tysburg, for 1t was at the latter place
he delivered the most remarkable
speech any man ever made or any
man will ever make, | suppose, so a
road connecting the two places would
have sentimental interest as we'll as
utility. One thing am certain of and
that is that the federal government
has perfect right to build interstate
highways if it wants to. That was
settled long ago."
Robert P. Hooper, president of the
American Automobile Association, ad-
mitted that motorists, through their
personal interests, might be preju-
diced in favor of the highway scheme.
AT the same time he urged, when
one studies Roman history his recol-
lection of Appius Claudius is quickly
brought to mind by the famous Ap-
plan Way. In like manner the Lin
coin Way would be a constant and
daily reminder of Lincoln for thou
sans of people,"

is probable that the Democratic men,
bers of the Ways and Means commit.
tee will put through a bill at this ses-
sion that reduces the rates in about
the same proportion. Then the bill
will go over to the Senate, where The
Democratic-Insurgent coalition may
again put through the measure. This
was done last session and the Presi.
dent vetoed the creation of the Dem.
ocratic majority in the House and
the coalition of Democrats and Insurg.
ents in the Senate.
1t is not assured that the President
will not veto the next wool bill pre.
scented to him. He has consulted Rep
resentative Payne, author of the pre-.
ent tariff law, and it has been decided
that they shall frame a substitute for
the proposed Democratic bill. This
substitute is to be drawn Gin accord
ance with the Republican principle of
protection"
The Democrats of the House-and
the insurgents of the House and Sen
ate-wilf not stand for bill that car
ries excess protection. II the Payne
substitute does not make material
cuts in Schedule K, it will be unable
to get the support of progressive Re-
publicans in either branch of Con-
gress.
Then the President would have to
veto or sign the Democratic bill. In
the event of the former course Presi-
dent Taft will have to go to the coun-
try on the issue that it did not con-
tain sufficient protection and the flu
ture of the Republican party and its
candidates would depend upon wheth-
er the country is willing to forgo i'm
mediate revision in order to maintain
the protective principle.

mitted some figures bearing on the
cost of highway such as is proposed.
The most liberal estimate, he alleges,
for a bituminous macadam roadway
from Washington to Gettysburg, in
Gliding grading, culverts, and all nee
essary labor and materials would be
about $4,000 a mile. This for sew
enty-two miles would make the total
cost of the highway $1,512,0O0.

On November Is, the father re-
ceiyed two postcards and letter
written on the stationery of a
Boston hotel.
Both postcards and letter were
much more legible than those pre-
viously received. They explained
that the writer had murdered the
Josephs boy and hidden the body
in the cesspoo1 back Of a lonely
Lackawanna saloon.
Up to this time, the police had
c not paid much attention to the.
postcards. They took them for
the work Of some maniac.
But the directions in the last
two and the letter were so ex-
plicit that the cesspool back of the
saloon was dragged.
The body of Joseph Josephs
was found. The boy had been
outraged and choked to death.
Then the hunt for the slayer
began. State, county, police and
the father of the victim all offered
rewards.
The newspapers of Buffalo
published photographs of the
postcards received by the muir
dered boys father.
! It was these that led to the ar
rest of Hickey. Hickey formerly |
worked in Lackawanna. His en-
ployer recognized his writing.
Orders were wired to the po-
lice of every city in the United |

said he would go back to Buffalo
for trial without extradition.
Then he employed a lawyer and
put up fight.
Last Tuesday the requisition
papers were handed to the sheriff
at Toms River, N. J., where Hick-
ey had been held.
District Attorney Dudley ar
rived there Wednesday and Hick-
ey was turned over to him.
From the time he boarded the
train at Toms River until he con-
fessed in the county jail here
Hickey was subjected to a merci-
less grilling.
The district attorney and the
police were convinced that he was
the slayer of little Joseph Josephs
and were determined to wiring a
confession from him.
Early today Hickey broke
down absolutely and sobbed forth
his confession.

He said that he found the con ditions very good, indeed. and spoke with surprise of the fact that Forrest City had received so little attention from the government in the way of medical supplies, there having been nothing of this nature ordered since the taking in charge of the relief work by the government. This was explained by the fact that Dr. Rush. Dr. Longest, and others of the local physicians, have been giving good deal of their time and medical care and attention to the refugees, gratis, and by the generally healthy condi- tion of the camp and the country sur rounding Forrest City. The lieuten- ant, however, sent in q requisition Monday night for medical supplies for 1000 refugees.
