Ismay is Denounced.

NEW YORK, April ia bitter de-
nunciation of Bruce Ismay, managing
director of the White Star company
and also his company were made here
today by relatives and friends of the
victims Of the Titanic
why did not Ismay stay with the
ship, and go down like a man? p" is the
frequent criticism
ismay is denounced as responsible
for the secretive methods of the White
Star company and the failure of the
Carpathia to send news of thewreck.
Ismays presence on the Camathia is
believed TO be the reason why the
ship sends no word of the terrible
scenes enacted when the ship sank.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Three
hundred thousand miles of roadway
must be improved before the road sys-
tenn of the United States can be con-
sidered efficient, according to the in
formation just made public by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson. The i'm
provement will involve an expenditure
of approximately $2,000,000000.
1t is pointed out by the secretary
that the roads have long been neglect
ed by both state and federal author
tiles and that only in recent years has
the good road movement" gained in
force The consequences of the delay
are shown by the fact that there are
now but 190,476 miles of modern"
highways in the United States, or
about 8.66 per cent of the total mileage
of all public roads, improved and un-

ROAD SYSTEM NEEDS
TWO BILLIONS SOON

While the amount necessary to re-
pair the roads, SO that traffic can be
moved throughout the country with
only minimum wear and tear seems
fabulously large, it is to be taken into
consideration that the cost is to be
divided among the various states, and
therefore reduce proportionately
New York state has bonded Itself
to expend $5,000,0O0 annually on the
Improvement of it's highways and, it
is hoped, that other states will follow
until the movement becomes national.
New York also leads the states making
the greatest progress in bodybuilding.
Georgia is second, South Carolina is
third, Alabama fourth, and Florida
fifth. Experiments made by these
states has clearly demonstrated that
sand-clay highways can be constructed
cheaply, and give general satisfaction.

GREED IS J.. s. DUTY SAYS DEWEY

WASHINGTON, April 17-Admiral
Dewey says the transatlantic steam
ship companies are so greedy that they
don't care for human life. He says
it is simply appalling to think of the
few life boats on the Titanic. They
were enough for only one sixth of the
passengers. He says no vessel should
be permitted to clear from any port
until she has enough boats to care to
carry the great majority of the pas
sengers, should the necessity arise

Or is more striking example of the
danger to which they are subjected
needed?"
Dewey told of an experience of his
to show that icebergs were sometimes
found much further south than it is
supposed they will travel and that the
north Atlantic is not a safe ships
course, according to the books.
He said he had lodged icebergs and
floes in 1884 when making trip from
New York to France carrying provis-
ions to the starving people of France.
