Starting at New York city, the
highway runs in as direct route
as is practicable through the States
of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois, Utah, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada,
and California, to the western ter
minus at San Francisco. West Of
the Mississippi a large part of
the route lies over the historic Ov-
erland Trail At two points, one
in eastern Colorado and the other
On the west border of Nevada, the
highway will comprise two separate
routes. In the first instance the
object was to include Denver, which
lies off the direct route, on the
highway, and branch was there
fore planned to run from Big
Spring, Nebraska, through that
city and to connection with the
main highway at Cheyenne, Wyo.
At Reno, New, the highway again
divides, one route running north
and the other south of Lake Ia
hoe to a connection at Sacramento,
Cal.
There is to be little or no open
ing Of new roads, the whole route
being laid out with the idea of
connecting a series of local high
ways into one great trans-continen-
tai highway, but it is estimated that
on about 1000 miles of the route
it will be necessary to carry out
extensive improvements and in some
cases complete reconstruction. Such
work will be done in cooperation
with local communities, which will
be asked to bear. a fair portion of
the expense. Several of the States,
including Illinois and Ohio, have
agreed to divert a large proportion
of their annual road appropriation
to the counties along the route.
Of the fund already pledged, a
large part comes from automobile

GOVERNOR GRANTS
THAW WEEK DELAY
Counsel to File Brief on Con.
spiracy Indictment

Rochester, N. H., Oct Ex-Governor
Felker, after hearing both sides, grant
ed the request of Harry X. Thaw for a
further continuance in the extradition
proceedings, setting Nov. as the final
date on which his attorneys may file
a supplementary brief bearing on the
conspiracy indictment returned against
their client by the New York county
grand jury
A continuation of two weeks had
been requested. William Travers 'Je-
rome, who opposed the delay, will be
allowed two days to answer the new
brief
Probably 5000 persons gathered at
the city hall and many crowded into
the room where the hearing was held.
It was a Thaw. crowd and when for
mer Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania,
who appeared for Thaw, declared that
the sentiment of the people of New
York and New Hampshire was that his
client had been punished sufficiently
there was demonstration of approval
so noisy that the governor ordered
the room cleared. Officers attempted to
carry out the order. but made little
Roadway, and the spectators remained
to the end.
Personalities were woven into the
argument. Jerome declared that
"Thaw's counsel, from Governor Stone
down, wish to keep Thaw in New
Hampshire as long as possible-as
long even as the Thaw coal and coke
mines hold out to burn" Mr.. Stone
likened Jerome to the Hound Of the
Baskervilles."
Jerome described Thaw as ode
generate, insane criminal" and said
that Thaw money had attempted to
bribe grand juror and two jurymen
during the first trial of Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White.

Lincoln Highway Follows Historic
Trails.

Construction work is soon to be-
gin on the greatest bodybuilding
project ever attempted since the
time when the Caesars, in building
the highways which are still the
main thoroughfares of Europe, gave
rise to the saying that 'All roads
lead to Rome The modern coun-
terpart of these ancient roads is
the Lincoln Highway, a national
thoroughfare that will extend s.
100 miles across the American con-
tinent from New York to San Fran
cisco. Unlike the. Roman roads,
which were a, manifestation of i'm
perial power, the Lincoln Highway
Is the result of a popular subscrip-
ton. After over year of care
full investiga ton and after numer-
Gus conferences with the officials
Of the different States that the high
way is to pass through, the route
has been definitely decided on,
while, of the s10,00O,OOO needed
for carrying out the work, over
100000 has already been sub
scribed. Twelve States will be
crossed by this highway which is
to serve to future generations as
q fitting memorial to the martyred
president whose name it bears.
Although the general route of
the highway has been known for
sometime, the exact location through
the different States, owing largely
to the rival claims of local commu-
mites, furnished a big problem and
has only recently been determined.
In each case the final decision was
made mainly on the basis of direct
ness of route, but with due regard
to scenic and historic interest.

Although the parcel post business Shandied in the mail cars has 1nereas- ea by Ieaps and bounds and now iarnouuts to millions of packages SrnonthIy. the Adams Express business lis also apparently on the increase if lone may judge by the mum Der Of cars on the Adams Express special train (which runs through here about 3 a. i'm. on its way from New York to Bos- Ikon. This is an exclusively Adams EFxpress train and up until recently iconsisted of eight to ten ordinary ex- Es,ress cars hauled by one engine.
 The employees were amazed to see a train of IT cars pull into the depot fs1fgrt before last hauled by two pow ,srfuI locomotives. The train was so Hong that, with the engine on the tdrawbridge the last of the 1T cars twas found to be on the Fairfield ave -z1ue bridge just below the telegraph tower Some of the forward cars were first unloaded and the train pulled up still further so that the last .car of the IT. which also contained gBridEeport express matter, might be reached on the station platform by the isAdams employees.
 The train has been gradually in jHreasing it's number Of cars recently, fso that it is now a 'fdoubIe-header'' or two engine train every night, and i14. Is and IT cars are the general rule Taking into consideration that every one of them are loaded to the roof with express matter of all de- scriptions, 1t may well be seen that the counry is not going to smash just
