FEDERAL CO-OPERA-
TION FOR GOOD ROADS
State and Federal Government
Should Work Together for High
way Improvement.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Secretary
Houston of the department of agri-
culture says that the state and fed
eral governments should work to-
gether for highway improvement in
order that a large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con-
struCtion may not be wasted.
In his own department the office
of public roads has been demon
strating the value of proper road
building by the construction OF GER
tain object-lesson roads, and the
forest service is carrying out his idea
of national and state cooperation in
road building. The law requires that
ten per cent Of the gross receipts
from the national forests shall be
spent in the states in which the for
ests are situated. This money is eX
pended for road improvement under
direct control of the secretary of
agriculture.
The amount appropriated under
this act, based on the receipts OF the
national forests for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1913, is $234,
638.69. From the 1912 receipts for
this ten per cent road item, there is
an additional 1874, ,S31.10, which is
still available.
In administering the ten per cent
road fund, forest officers charged
with the actual plans and expendi-
lures in the neighborhood OF their
forests have, in almost all cases, Sc
cured an equal or a larger co-opera-
tive fund from state authorities for
the building of certain pieces of road.
With the money thus expended
many important roads are being
Wyoming national forest, six miles
long, makes accessible to farmers a
large body OF timber and opens up a
region of great scenic beauty. In
northwestern Arizona part Of the
fund will be used in connection with
the LeFevre- Bright Angel road, i'm
portant because it makes accessible
to tourists the Grand Canyon OF the
Colorado. In one place, the ocean
to-ocean highway crosses the Apache
national forest, Arizona, and on this
project the forest service and the
local authorities co-operated enthus-
iastically. On the Florida national
forest in western Florida steel
bridges and graded roads have, un-
der the stimulus of this fund. taken
the place of corduroy, bog, and sand.
This federal road fund is now avail
able in all national forest states of
the West. Just as fast as returns
come in, the forestry officials say. a
similar fund will become available
in states in which eastern national
forests are being secured

NOT ALWAYS PAID
FOR SPEAKING
Bryan Tells Spartanburg Audience
He Has Himself Often Pur-
chased This Privilege.

Spartanburg Special to Charlotte
Observer, Oct. S.-William ]. Bryan,
secretary of state, and Mrs. Bryan
left Spartanburg early this morning
for Asheville, whence they will go to
Knoxville where Mr.. Bryan will de-
liver an address at the National Con-
servation Exposition. They were the
guests last night of Ex-Governor
John Gary Evans.
Though the meeting was arranged
on only a few hours notice, Mr.
Bryan's visit to Spartanburg not hav-
ing been expected, he was greeted
by an audience of 1900 people at
Converse College auditorium last
Woodrow Wilson'S Point of View" +"
tribute.
Mr.. Bryan said it had been charg-
ed that he would not make a public
address unless he received a fee. A
Republican in his home town of Lin
coin, to whom this charge was re-
peated, declared it was untrue. Mr..
Bryan said; that If Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived no fee he would speak for
nothing, and that If he was not al
lowed to speak, he would pay for the
privilege. This was true, Mr.. Bryan
said, and he had paid many hundred
dollars to be allowed to speak.
The secretary talked of the
achievements of President Wilson's
administration, paying particular at
tention to the tariff bill and the new
tax on incomes, which he advocated
many years ago. His proposal, at
that time considered ultra-radical
was moderate, he said, in comparison
with what has actually come to pass.
Mr.. Bryan received an ovation, the
applause at the conclusion of his ad-
dress continuing for four minutes.
The Secretary and Mrs. Bryan then
shook hands with nearly all in the
audience.

letics to victory over the New York
Giants in the third game of the cham

rush to a pedestal in the baseball
hall of fame by the savage batting
of his teammates, but the major por-
tion of the glory was accorded by
both fans and players to the young
ster who startled the diamond veter-
ans with his speed and control in his
debut in a worlds series.

spectacular as that of the veterans,

CALLS FOR FIGHT
ON BLIND TIGERS
Nearly 300 Charges of Illegally
Selling and Storing Liquor
Are Preferred.

Charleston Special to Columbia
State, Oct. S.-Solicitor ]. II. Pueri-
foy this morning handed to the
grand jury between $50 and 500 in
dictments, the charge in each case
being that of illegally selling and
storing liquor, two counts making up
the presentment. The grand jury re-
ceived a special charge from Judge
Bowman in which he called to their
attention that il was their duty, un-
der their oath, to bring in true bills
in any one of these cases where the
evidence warranted. He went into
the features of the situation at some
length, after which he sent the grand
jurors to their room, there to wrestle
with the large batch of indictments
submitted by the solicitor. The
grand jury is expected to make re-
port tomorrow morning.
The solicitor said this afternoon
that as soon as true bills we're
brought in warrants would be issued
for the defendants in each case, who
could then take their choice of Civ
ing bond OF going to Jail. Should the
grand jury find true bills in any of
the cases submitted to them today
trial of the parties concerned Will be
taken up at the next term of court.
Tomorrow morning, said the So
licitor. more indictments will be
handed the grand jurors, these in
volving clubs of the city, charged
with violating the liquor laws.
The action by the solicitor this
morning is the result of activities OF
the Law and Order League, which
announced at a mass-meeting in the
German Artillery hall last Friday
night that detectives whom it had
employed since April had worked up
evidence against 400 or 500 alleged
blind tigers and gambling dens, and
that many of these would be present
ed to the court of general sessions
now sitting in Charleston.

Emerge Vivtor-Supremacy
of Athletics Complete.

New York, Oct. 7.-Outhitting and
outfelding the New York Giants in
the opening game Of the worlds
series the Philadelphia Athletics de-
feated the National Leaguers at the
Polo grounds this afternoon by a
score OF to 4. So complete was the
supremacy OF the American Leaguers
in the initial contest that the victory
seemed to be but a continuation of
the series OF 1911 when the Athletics
won the title of that year from the
Giants by four games out Of six. AS
If to heighten the illustration there
were several feature plays that might
have been reproduced, so closely did
they resemble those of "a months
ago.
The game was witnessed by a gath
ering of spectators that taxed the
capacity of the New York Club stad-
ium and swelled the Golfers Of those
financially interested to the extent of
more than $4,000. The exact num-
ber Of fans who paid admission to the
stands was 36,291 and the days re-
ceipts amounted to $75.255. These
figures, as furnished by the National
Commission, occasioned surprise for
the attendance fell short by more
than 1000 of that of the frs. game
of 1911, although so far as could be
seen there appeared to be just as
many persons present as was the case
two years ago.

Tillman's Famous Picture at Last
Placed in Congressional Record.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Senator Till

years ago to accompany an attack by
the South Carolina senator upon
Wall Street and the question

in today's Congressional Record. One
view shows the COW, an elongated
animal symbolical OF the national re-
sources-feeding on the farms of the
South and West while her golden
milk is being drawn in New York and
New England. Then the COW is pic
tured turned around. but the supreme
court is choking her as she attempts
to feed on income taxes and the
Western and Southern farmers are
getting no milk.
Unanimous consent for inserting
the article with illustrations in The
Record was obtained by Senator Till
man, who said he made the request
because so much that was mere sur
mise and prophecy then has come
true"
He added that he rejoiced that the
country no longer could be "bam-
boozled" and that under a Demo-
cratic administration legislation was
being enacted which would prevent
the robbery that had gone on in the
past.
The appearance OF the cartoon in

capitol. Nobody remembered when
such thing had happened before.

PRESIDENT REVIEWS
CAVALRY TACTICS
Great Cavalcade of Troopers
Pass in nattle Formation.
THE RESULT OF TRAINING.
Board Working Out Systems That
Make For Greater Efficiency
i'm the Defence of Uncle Sam.

Washington, Oct. 9.-On the
broad, green meadows along the Po-
tomac, great cavalcade of Uncle
Sans fighting troopers, their heads
bent close to the horses names and
their sabers flashing aloft, today
charged past the President of the
United States at full gallop in battle
formation.
1t was the biggest cavalry review
that had been held in the national
capital since the marching hosts re-
turned after the Civil War. Presi-
dent Wilson, members of his cabinet
supreme court justices, the diplo-
matte corps and the military affairs
committees of Congress sat in the re-
viewing stand while the Tenth
Cavalry, negro regiment, the
Eleventh and two sQuadrons of the
Fifteenth demonstrated the results
OF a summers training at Winches-
ter, Va, in the latest cavalry tactics
promulgated by American military
experts.
The cavarly men executed their
maneuvers on the silent signal sys-
TEN and as they threw their columns
far across the parade ground,
mighty shout of approval went up
! from the crowd.
| PASS REVIEWING STAND.
First in the new double line for
] nation in columns of platoons at
/ full gallop, the uniform lines OF
horsemen passed the reviewing stand
while cavalry bands played martial
music. Regimental drills and an ex-
hibition of fighting tactics were given
with precision and smoothness for
nearly two hours. Foreign military
attaches in uniform galloped about
observing the drill from different
points. President Wilson, who had
been given his first view of a big
force of cavalry, complimented the
troops through Col. C. d. Murray,
their commanding officer.
The cavalcade. which will be dis
banded tomorrow, consisted of the
Twentieth from Fort Ethan Allen,
Vermont, the Eleventh from Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga, and two squadrons
OF the Fifteenth, one of them from
Fort Sheridan, Ill. and the other
from Fort Myer, Va.
The program of cavalry exercises
was formulated by a board which
spent several months in Europe care
fully studying the cavalry systems of
Germany, France, Italy and England
with a view to adopting all that goes
to make the greatest efficiency in
Uncle Sans defense.

GIANTS CAPTURE SECOND.
Mathewson Gives the Greatest En-
hibition of His Career.

Philadelphia, Oct S.-Christy
Mathewson. master manipulator of
the baseball, led the New York
when he shut out the Philadelphia
Atheletics in a ten-inning battle by
3-to-0 score in the second game OF
the worlds series. Hero of a decade
OF league and worlds championship
play, the famous veteran rose to the
highest pinnacle of his diamond ca
reer by an exhibition of all-round
play that wrung volleys Of applause
from the 10000 Athletic supporters
who were massed in the stands and
bleachers, expecting to witness a sec
ond triumph for the standard bear
ers of the American League. Box
score experts will point to their fig
ures to prove that eleven other
Giants were instrumental in winning
the second contest of the series, but
the Philadelphia fans who filed sad
ly out OF the park spoke only Of
Mathewson.
For a trifle over two hours and
twenty minutes the man whose re-
QUEEN was sung by thousands of fans
after the final game against the Bos-
ton Red SoX in the worlds series of
1912, turned back the hard hitting
Athletics without a semblance of a
break. Then when he saw that his
teammates could not wrest victory
from Plank, he took his bat and
drove in the run that won the game
Spurred on by his example, other
Giants added two more.

DRY GOODS MAN LEFT
ESTATE OF $45,OOO,OOO
IL. Altman's Real Estate Holdings
Worth Twenty MilliOn-Lived
Life of SeCIusiOn.

New York, Oct. S.-The estate of
Benjamin Altman, president of the
dry goods firm OF B. Altman & Co,
who died at the age of 73 years yes
terday, is said to amount probably
$45, 100000. About a third of this
wealth is represented by art objects,
of which Mr.. Altman had one of the
finest private collections in the coun-
try, particularly in the line of paint
ings and porcelains. His real estate
holdings are valued at 100000, 900.
Mr.. Altman was a bachelor and
had led a very secluded life, especial
ly during recent years. DR.. Sachs.
his physician, said that although
Mr.. Altman was prominent as a meT-
chant and as a man of great wealth,
1t was doubtful If there were one
hundred persons in New York who
knew him by sight.
Some of the paintings by old mas
ters which adoTn Mr.. Altman's Fifth
avenue residence are fourteen Rem
brandts, believed to be the largest
collection of his work in America. 1t
includes the portraits of Rembrandts
mother, his son. Titus, his wife and
himself. For two of these pictures
Mr.. Altman is said to have paid
5000, 900 each.
In 1892 Mr.. Altman purchased We
lasquez's portraits of King Philip ",
of Spain. and his minister, Olivares.
1t was said on excellent authority at
the time that these cost him nearly
81 100000. Other famous paintings
in his collection are HOlbeins por-
trait of Margaret Wyatt, said to have
cost $3.50, 1000; Virgin and Child"
$150,00O. and Botticellrs Last
Communion Of st. Jerome" $4,000.

LOW CHURCH WINS
IN FIRST SKIRMISH
Members of Victorious Wing Think
They Will be Able to Prevent
Change of Name.

New York, Oct. 9.-What was
looked upon as the first test Of vot-
ing strength between the high church
and low church factions came late
yesterday at the triennial convention
OF Protestant Episcopal church,
when the Rev. DR.. Alexander Mann,
rector OF Trinity church, Boston, was
lected president of the house Of depu-
ties. DR.. Mann was the candidate of
the low church element and defeated
the Rev Dr. w. T. Manning, rector
of Trinity church, New York, by the
vote of $50 10 242.
The president wields a strong in
fiuence in the councils of the house
Of deputies. He has duties and
powers similar to those OF the speak
er of the house of representatives In
the United States.
The election of DIR. Mann was re-
garded by members OF the low
church party as substantial victory.
One result of the vote, some of them
declared. would be that the question
OF changing the denominational name
to the American Catholic church
probably would not be placed before
the convention. High church dele
gates asserted, on the other hand,
that the vote was too close to give
any indication of what course legisla-
ton would take.
DR.. Manning. upon learning of his
defeat moved to have the election of
DIR. Mann made unanimous. Dr.
Henry . Anstice of New York was
elected secretary. Dr. Mann ap-
pointed as assistant secretary the
Rev. Carroll NJ. Davis Of st. Louis,
the Rev. w. G. Prout of Herkimer,
n. Y, and the Rev. James G.. Glass
of Admission, Ala.
The house of bishops at an eXecu-
tive business meeting yesterday
elected Bishop Boyd Vincent OF Ohio
chairman and reelected DR.. Samuel
Hart OF Connecticut secretary. A
memorial was presented by Bishop
/ Alfred Harding OF Washington, pro-
posing a constitutional amendment
providing for a revised method OF
representation in the house of
deputies.
Bishop Harding's memorial was
read later before the house OF depu-
ties in open session and was referred
to q committee on amendments and
constitution.
