MODERN ROADWAYS FOR
PARKS, PLAN FOR 1913
Public Forum in Union Square and Nor
Fairgrounds Urged by Commissioner
Stover for New Year.

New York is slow in one respect.
Park Commissioner Charles B. Slower
admits this in the article for The Trib
une on the needs Of the parks and the
construction progrF rn,e Of his depart
ment for 1918. The Commissioner says
he is astounded that the city has been
so slow 10 recognize the need Of more
permanent roadbeds and road surfaces
because Of heavy automobile and auto
'bu. traffic. The present roads in Gen.
tral Park and Riverside Park are rel
ics Of the horse and carriage age.
In the opinion Of the Commissioned
the most important work to be un-
dertaksn by the Park Department in
Ma anh attain next year will be the build
ina OF modern roads in Central and
Riverside parks. He IS anxious to
have roadways adequate to resist the
heavy traffic laid for at least two miles
in Central Park and from I2d street
TO the 129th street viaduet in Riverside
Park. The opening OF the Speedway
which has outIived it's name, to gen
eral park purposes is another plan of
Mr.. Stover's for 1918. The coming
year will also be notable for tree plant
ina in TIE parks. He also plans TOR
several new Fairgrounds and a relay
ina out Of Union Square. the Sherman
plaza and Bryant Park, the plan for
Union Square to include pubic
fecum.

OF the case against the patrolman.
Inspector Fauret and Detective Talt,

duce Sipp If he granted the further ad-
iournment. The inspector declined to
guarantee any such thing.
IL don't think this defendant is going

He is member Of the police force.

Was NOT SHOT
At The Asylum
Negro Patient Still Survives
Al The State
Institution

Jamestown Capital: The state
press, which copied an item from the
Belfield Times in regard to the al
legged violent death of "tNigger" Lee
at the state asylum is assured that
the article is correct with the excep.
ton of all the alleged facts. Other
wise it is interesting. The Belfield
Times is quoted as follows:
"a nephew of Gus Anderson who
on his return from the east, stopped
off at jamestown to see his uncle,
the latter being al inmate OF the
hospital for the insane at that place,
brings word that Charles Lee, bet
ter known as "Nigger" Lee, became
so violent at the institution that 1t
was necessary for one of the attend
ants to shoot him dead in self de.
fense.'
Charles Lee is still an inmate OF
the institution and in his usual con
dition. He is not violent, has not
given the attendants any unusual
trouble or been difficult to handle,
says Supt. Hotchkiss, and no attend
ant has yet found, it necessary to
'shoot him dead" as no attendant
is armed. How the misinfOrmation
became started is a mystery to the
authorities. SO, with the above cor,
r~ection, the story is accurate. Con-
tinuing the Times said:
Lee, who was an old-time rider on
the range and until a few years ago
considered a fair sort of fellow, for
a darby, was known as n Of the
best brOncho busters in this section.
About three years ago he got mixed
up in some crooked deal and was in.
ca%rcerated in the Billings county Jail
at Medora, to explate his guilt. Short
ly after his release he was again ar
rested, and this, together with other
troubles affected his mind. He was
finally adjudged insane and sent to
jamestown, his tragic death culmi-
mating an aimless life"
Supt. Hotchkiss says the patient,
Lee, is suffering from general paraly-
sis of the insane and can just walk
when assisted. Lee is almost entire
ly helpless and is unable to care for
himself in hardly any way. He sits
in a chair most Of the day, and is
gradually growing weaker, physically
and mentally.
