of Cuban soldiers, sailors from the
Warship Cuba, and a commission form

participated in the ceremonies.
The sailors and marines from the
thirteen battle ships of the North At

Bishop David H. Greer, of New York.
Following the prayer General James
Grant Wilson gave an address, present
ing the monument to the city. The
bands then broke forth into the Star
Spangled Banner and the flags We're
pulled aside and the monument was
revealed. With the bands still playing
several floral wreaths were placed at
theSbase of the monument. The first
wreath placed was presented by Pres
ident Wilson on behalf of the United
States, and was put in position by
Father Chadwick, chaplain of the
Maine when she met her fate in Ha-
vana harbor fifteen years ago. Mrs.
Frederick Couder. who christened the
Maine at her launching, placed a
wreath from the state of Maine. The
daughter of Mayor Gaynor placed the
wreath presented by New York city,
and three Cuban ENJOYS placed the
wreath from the Cuban nation. The

wreath and Rear Admiral Sigsbee, who

I
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 30
| The fund being raised for the con
struction of a perfect highway to ex
tend across the continent from New
| York to Chicago has been increased
| 81. 500, 900 through the subscription OF
the Association of American Portland
Cement Manufacturers. This repre-
sents one per cent of the cement pro
duction for a period of three years and
practically assures the success of the
highway movement. The motion
passed the Cement Manufacturers
| without dissenting vote, and the or
ganization further approved of the
project by a set of resolutions hearth
ly endorsing it.
In these resolutions it was set forth
that the present type of public high
ways does not meet the demands OF
changing conditions, arising from the
rapid change from horse-drawn to self
propelled vehicles. This problem is
one which has been carefully investi
gated by the Association of American
Portland Cement Manufacturers with
the result that the question of the
Ocean-to-Ocean Highway was present
ed before the meeting of the organiZa
ton at Chicago.
The highway problem is one which
| is rapidly claiming the attention Of
men in all walks of life. 1t has a
social and economic side which will
| have a tremendous bearing on condi
tions generally, and there is no par
of the country which will not be ma
| terially benefited by the perfect
highway. 1t is the idea of those who
are furthering the proposition thai
| this highway is to serve as a nucleus
for a net work of good roads, and il
| is believed that it will stimulate the
building Of perfect roadways in every
state in the union, just as the sam
pie highway laid in New York state
several years ago has brought about
the excellent road conditions of thai
state.
That concrete is the material best
adapted for the purpose is the belief
of those who have made good roads
| speciality. Once a concrete road if
constructed, the problem of up-keeI
will reduce itself to minimum. The
concrete highway is practically in
destructible, not being subject to the
change of the elements. 1t is also
dustless, and will stand up under the
strain of the heaviest traffic.
The city of Indianapolis will soor
have a sample of perfect road con
struction to show to the country, work
having commenced on Meyers boule
ward, which will convert a part OF
that thoroughfare into a solid concrete
highway. First-class concreting ma
terial will be used in the construction
of this road, the sand and gravel being
selected with the greatest care. Blaine
Miller an expert highway engineer
will have charge of the work, and he
will have the assistance of c. D. Frank
assistant engineer of the Universal
Portland Cement Company, of Chica
go, who will act in an advisory ca
pacity. indianapolis good roads en-
thusiasts are taking great interest in
the work, being on hand every day to
watch the pouring of the concrete.

Ball Bearing Postal Service.

The postmaster at Chicago finds himself
In pinch of necessity in this Christmas
rush and must do something to facilitate
the handling of the mails in his Office
Looking about him in the big establish
ment he notices that work i'm the check
ing room is performed under the handicap
of long stretch which clerks must cover
In carrying mail matter to and fro His
inventive brain has devised a simple ex-
pedient to overcome this difficulty He
went out and bought eight pairs of roller
skates and. selecting corresponding
number of clerks who could be relied
upon to use them without spilling them
selves all over the post office, he started
them going, with the result of very ma
terially speeding up the work. These
roller. skaters are now covering a space
OF full city block, and if experience
proves the practicability of the scheme
the entire force engaged in shifting the
mail matter in the office will be put on
skates. This is bringing the postal serv-
ice down to a ball-bearing basis. Every
possible device to forward the mails is
being adopted, and If the mail users would
be careful to write plainly in addressing
their letters and packages there would be
little occasion for hardness in their de-
livery.

Time Given for Harmful Legislation.

\ few years ago, when the District
committee of the House was not an anti
EEstriot committee. it was one of the most
difficult things in the world to get time
for, the consideration of local legislation
on. the floor OF the House. The commit
tee might go~ahead and prepare a long
calendar of bills, all of them essential 10
the progressive development of the Ma
tional Capital, and then, despite the rule
setting apart certain Mondays for this
line of work, wait in vain for its oppor-
tunity TO pass them. In some sessions
weeks have passed without single Dis
trict day. Any sort of business was
good enough to sidetrack District leSisla-
ton however urgent might be the propo-
sitions of the District committee.
Now il would seem that times have
changed The District committee has
had no trouble getting a District day
on schedule time. making full use of II
to put through two bills seriously injurins
the welfare OF the Federal City and VIC
Iative of the spirit of the compact be
tween the local community and the
tional government. In preparation for
another District day" the committee Is
pushing other bills to the same effect.
particularly one putting " HOliy on the
abutting property owners the cost of lay
ing sidewalks on space which is eXclu-
siveiy the property of the United States
sidewalks, by the way. that the courts
have declared the abutting owner can
not be compelled to keep clean of snow
in winter time, because of this federal
ownership.
Thus it is that the District, deprived
through the failure of the House sched-
uc of benefits i'll the days when the
District committee was disposed to re-
spect the organic act, is now menaced
with destructive legislation at the hands
of hostile. inqlisitorial committee, with
the House granting time for the consider
alton of local measures This does not
argue that the House has come to the
point of d change of heart Agarding the
proper treatment of the District. Without
doubt, If the matter were thoroughly and
fairly discussed and were voted upon
without confusion of issues the House
would today reaffirm the half-and-hal
principle as it has been applied hereto
fore-when not violated by trespass and
evasion.

The Red Cross portion of the building
