DETROIT, Sept. IA mighty
horde Of roadbuilders and persons in
terested in the better construction
and maintenance of highways and
streets are descending upon Detroit
for the third annual American Road
Congress, which viii begin its ses-
sions on Monday next, continuing
throughout the week. The nation,
states. cities and various good roads
organizations throughout the country
are sending delegates for the largest
road congress in the history of the
world.
The first congress was held at Rich
mond, Va, in 1911, when 1900 dele
gates attended. The second was held
last year at Atlantic City with an
attendance of 1000. The public in
terest aroused at these conferences,
and the publicity given to the work
accomplished, has led to the anticipa-
ton of an attendance of nearly 5000
delegates at the present congress.

of the American Highway Associa-
ton, the American Automobile Asso-
citation and the Michigan State Good
Roads Association. Besides these, %

GIVESOUTSIDER
100000 To
FAN OLD FEUD
Contest To Be Started to Break
Will of Julia Garrett, PennsyI-
vania's Richest Woman.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. pa con-
test will be made to break the will Of
Julia Garrett, leaving ssOOO,0O0 of
her S1O.000,OOO estate to her financial
adviser, Isaac T. Starr.
Enmity handed down from genera
ton to generation for more than 125
years found expression in the win of
the last member Of the distinguished
Garrett family who died in Villa
nova several weeks ago.
She cut off from participation mem
bers of the Dunn family, cousins, be-
cause the Dunns' forebears looked
with contempt upon John Garrett
from whom she was descended when
he started in an humble way the
manufacture Of snuff 1871 years ago.
Enmity Is Remembered.
When his business. begun on a
capital of 500 in New Castle County
Delaware, expanded and he became
wealthy, Garrett remembered the at
titude Of the Dunns. Succeeding gen
erations kept the enmity alive, and
of the great fortune that grew from
the original capital Of 800 the Dunns
unless proceedings to break the Will
are successful. will receive an amount
so slight comparatively as to be al
most negligible
This amount will come to them
through a personal liking of Miss
Garrett for "A woman who married
into the Dunn family. Her will leaves
$4,000 to Mrs. Dunn, mother of
George Garrett Dunn, a millionaire
banker. As Mrs. Dunn is dead the
money will revert TO her children.
While il had been supposed that
the will of Miss Garrett was filed
in NorristOwn, il is now known that
it was filed with the Register Of
Wills in this city on Friday, Septem-
Der 5.
27 Requests Made.
There are p requests in the doCu-
ment, and, according to a man who
saw the will the money left to others
besides Mr.. Starr totals less than
81, 900, 900.
Among the requests are: The Or
thopedic Hospital 5000: the Bryn
Mawr Hospital, $50 600; to four serv-
ants, $4,000 each; TO relatives other
than the Dunns, 100000
Mr. Starr, who for many years had
been legal adviser to Miss Garrett,
whose town house was at No. S24
Pine street has benefited to a large
extent through his connection with
the Garrett family.
When Miss Elizabeth Garrett, sis
ter of Miss Julia, died ten years ago,
she bequeathed to him 100000
When William f.. Garrett, Jr., a
brother, died fourteen years ago,
Starr was named as executor of the
will His fees and commissions. il
was declared, amounted to S14O, 600
The snuff business, from which the
CARROTS made their enormous for
| tune, passed from the hands of the
| Garrett family in 1900. Ii was sold
to the American Snuff Company for
approximately $4,000, 900. Four years
later the American Snuff Company
was absorbed by the American To-
baCCo Company.
The CARROTS were noted for their
benefactions. They took special in
terest in the Pennsylvania Hospital

REPORT OF THE MUTUAL IMPROVE
MENT SOCIETY.

Mr.. L.. Conrad contributed a very interest
ing address on the Panama Canal The
work of the Panama Canal WAS begun in
1881 by a French Company under Nj. Les
seps but owing to tue waste Of capital, and
various other reasons the effort failed, and
the task had to be abandoned. The Ameri-
can Government then resumed the work, which
under the able management of Col. Goe-
thals has progressed rapidly. 1t was origin
ally expected to be completed in 1915, but
1t is now anticipated that it will be ready for
shipping much sooner. The Canal from the
Pacific to the Atlantic shores is twenty-five
miles long, but, taking the windings into &C.
count, the actual length is about forty miles.
1t takes twelve hours for q ship to go
through the Canal, which is lone by two
locomotives attached, one dragging while
the other at the back keeps the ship in the
centre of the Canal.

The business in hand, whether carried
through on Monday coming or on a subse-
quent date, will CONSIST mainly in the pre-
sentation Of the Report Of the Trustees and
in the election Of II new Trustees in place
Of the old Board, whose members are, how
ever, eligible for reelection. Besides the
business mentioned above, the Trustees will
bring forward u proposal for Nh amendment
Of the Constitution increasing the rate OF
interest on deposits from 3 to 81 per cent.
This is good news to depositors. 1t IS true
the increase is small, but money even in small
quantities, is not commonly to be picked up in
the street, aud we think the proposed change
VIII be welcomed ny the depositors The
addition in question will probably attract u
great many more deposits, and the Trus-
tees will have to find avenues for invest
ing the increase. If such cannot be
found on the island they can be found
in Denmark, where perfectly safe bonds
bearing 4 per cent interest can be OBJ
tajned As the Savings Bank has a reserve
fu0@ Of about 100000. the consideration
ot further profit is of little consequences,
and the Trustees could well bo satisfied With
Investments giving II small margin to set
off the loss on unemployed capital. Besides,
should the change prove in auy way unde-
sirubIe, The old rate could later be once more
adopted, and in fact we hear that It is likely
that the new rate will he proposed to be
