The most recent American Road
Congress was held at Detroit a month
ago, where 1t was conservatively
estimated that $500 delegates at
tended. The American Highway As
ISOLATION, which Is the clearing house
for the good roads movement in this
country, has affiliated with It large
good roads organizations IN the
various states and all were represent
ed. There were committees repre-
|senting the American Bar Associa-
ton and the American Bankers As
'sociation.
Competition for next years con-
gress Is unusually keen because Il is
realized that the city selected prof
its not merely in commercial way,
but receives the benefit of the am-
petus to good roads throughout the
nearby territory Detroit has put in
a strong bid to be made the perma-
nent home OF the congress, but the
directors feel that other sections OF
the country should have their
chance.
NeW lOTk sent representatives To
Detroit to secure the next congress,
but while no decision has yet been
reached 1t is indicated that the race
has narrowed down to ATLANTA, DEN
yer and New Orleans.
j. e. Pennypacker, general secre-
tary OF the American Highway Asso-
citation as well as OF the congress,
has just returned from Atlanta,
where he says the movement to OBJ
tain the next congress is gathering
great strength. As statistician for
the joint committee OF Congress in
yestsgatlng federal aid in the con-
struction OF post roads and for a
similar committee in Canada, Mr..
Pennypacker has had excellent OPP
portunities for sizing up the road
movement in North America, and he
admits that few communities are
quite as enthusiastic as Atlanta.
San Francisco. Spokane and Los
Angeles are campaigning vigorously
to secure the congress for 1915, the
year the Panama canal opening will
be celebrated on the Pacific coast.

Notwithstanding the fact that
one Bridgeport resident has flock
OF 100 hens, but one egg day from
the flock is his reward for feeding
and housing them. This leads him
to the belief that cold storage is a
good thing for the country SO far as
eggs are concerned If all other
hens over the country were acting
as his are at this season of the year,
egg scarcity would be so great that
they would be a negative quantity as
food. Cold storage furnishes eggs
to the market at seasons when hens
do not lay. 1t does seem that there
are some benefits derived from cold
storage after all.

GAS FUMES
KILL TWO
TACOMANS

Overcome by carbon monoxide
gas that had accumulated in the
cabin of their boat because of
loose engine bearings, John Nc
Cullough, aged 81, son of Robert
Mccullough, secretary-treasurer
of the Tacoma Tug & Barge COM
pany, and Leroy Turner, aged Is,
were asphyxiated yesterday morn
ing in the gasoline tug Faun.
Coroner Ashton made a search
ing investigation of the accident
today, taking with him two ex-
pert gas-engine men. 1t was
found that. the engine of the
Faun had "gone dead" because
the lubricating oil supply had
gone dry. Exhaust gas filled
the cabin, causing both men to
lose consciousness almost stimuli
taneously.
The two men took the tug and
towed scow of lumber from the
Tacoma mill to the west approach
of the Point Defiance tunnel in
the Narrows. At 6 o'clock Satur-
day night Mccullough telephoned
his father they were ready TO
start back. That was the last
heard of them until Sunday
morning, when Deputy Sheriff
Charles Marburger noticed the
tug adrift off Steilacoom. He
went out and looked In the win
dow of the boat and saw the men
dead. They were brought to town
and removed to C. C. Mellinger's
residence. An investigation was
begun this morning to see what
was the matter. The engine was
on full head but was not running.
The men had supper ready to
eat. One of them had a lantern
clasped to his breast.
Mccullough resided with mis-
wife and 5-year-old daughter at
9OS South Fifth street. Turner

1 POLICE
!. !. He SAYS

CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-William
r. Russell, clairvoyant, has today
confessed to the state attorney
that he swindled the public out
of $500, 900 and duplicates the
police in the job. He declared
today that he contributed "hush
money" in return for an uninter-
rupted practice in this city.
Russell, who was arrested in
Columbus, Ohio, under the name
of Prof. Barr, said he advised his
clients to invest in fraudulent
stocks. He said Chicago clair
voyants pay the police $500 and
10 per cent of the profits the
first month, and afterwards $500
a month and 10 per cent.
