BUSINESS.
METHODS IN
IMPROVING
THE ROADS

Denver. May 15.-That many county
commissioners need educating toward
using more scientific and business
like methods in improving roads was
declared today by State Highway
Commissioner T. ]. Ehrhart.
Many counties have been spending
money for years upon roads to which
they do not have any title whatever.
and some OF the commissioners seem
to think the highway commission is
too rigid demanding that a clear title
of county possession be shown for
with state aid" said Ehrhart. "Blt
why should the peoples money be
spent upon a road liable to be found
owned by private parties?
Another important factor is having
improvement work done according to
specifications drawn by civil en-
gineer, instead of by guess work. And
there is some objection to our ruling
in this regard
But we believe the people will see
the wisdom and Justice OF the condi-
tions we are setting for the use of the
peoples money, and that the county
commissioners will all soon realize that
road building is a matter OF business
rather than politics.
''Only about 35 of the 62 counties
have thus far accepted the PROPOSE
tions we made in April, and we hops
the people in the rest of the counties
will urge their commissioners to ac-
cept as promptly as possible. II We
had agreed to turn over the s32s. .00C
without any restrictions. every county
would likely have accepted in a rush
We believe the counties can we'll af
ford to put up the money we have ask
ed them to. and also meet all the 9th

ALL BOX SEATS FOR GAMES
TOMORROW AREDISPOSEDO OF
IN A QUARTER OF AN HOUR

Within Is minutes after the box seats to
the Fourth OF July games were placed
on sale. the entire supply was consumed.
SO eager We're the fans TO insure a seat
for the games. that they were waiting
for the sale to commence. Following
the sale, several statements were made
by the wrathy and disappointed fans to
the effect that the tickets were purchased
in wholesale lots.
With the seating capacity of $50 box
seats, but 154 tickets were placed on sale
Nearly 20 box seats were purchased for
the season. while the others were reserved
in advance.
Some of the Ensley baseball fans are
very indignant over the way the sale of
box seats for Fridays games was con-

were sold to less than 10 people. W. s.

OFFERS S25O,00O AS
SETTLEMENT OF SUIT
English Marquis Anxious to Settle
With Actress for Breach of
Promise

London, July 1.-TWO hundred and fift1
thousand dollars and all the costs of suit,
is the price the Marquis of Northampton
has agreed to pay to settle the suit for
breach of promise brought against him
by the actress, Miss Daisy Markham,
whose real name is Violet Moss.
The costs will amount to considerable
sum on account of. the number of dis
tinguished counsel engaged to plead for
the opposing parties.
The marquis, better known as Earl
Compton only recently succeeded to the
title at the age of Y. The plaintiff is
well known both in America and the Brit
sh isles under her stage name.
The settlement was announced when
the case was called In high court of JUS
tice today in a courtroom crowded with
fashionable women and actresses, who
had come in anticipation of listening 10
some interesting events.
The young marquis had previously Of
fered to compromise on $o0,000 and many
people had thought Miss Markham un-
wise not TO take the settlement. When
Miss Markham insisted on proceeding
with the suit London gossips anticipated
that she had sensational story to tell
rose.
The damages paid are the heaviest for
many years in a breach of promise suit.
Sir Edward explained that Miss Mark
ham met the Marquis last year when he
made a promise OF marriage to her which
was not denied. Subsequently at the
desire of his father. the Marquis broke off
the engagement He wrote Miss Mark
ham that he wanted her to believe his
action had been taken from a sense OF
duty, genuinely believing 1t best for both
parties. When his father talked to him,
the Marquis wrote. ''he faced me with the
same thoughts | told you of when | first
loved you, which / have ever since been
trying to suppress"
The MARQUIS further wrote: you do
not know how these so-called ladies will
treat you, and l really could not bear to
see you suffering II. oh! If | could but
escape from my position; you VIII always
be my idea; my beautiful Dream
The letter concluded your broken
hearted Bim" This was the Marquis of
Northampton nickname.
Sir Edward continued that the Marquis
of Northampton had made provision for
the lady such as she would have been
entitled to had he made her a March
ioness. He then announced the settlement
for the sum of $250,00o.
Henry E. Duke. defense counsel. said
in confirming the settlement that when
the Marquis of Northampton, who was
then Earl Compton, asked his father 5
consent to his marriage with Miss Mark
ham, he laid upon him an absolute prohi-
bition and took from his son solemn
engagement that he would not pursue
his desire to marry the plaintiff.

DRASTIC EFFORTS
TO END ICE STRIKE
Cincinnati Mayor Seizes
Observation-Disclosures
Stand Firm

Cincinnati, July 2.-In an effort 20
end the prolonged ice strike" Mayor
Hunt took drastic action tonight, seiz-
ing seven of the large non-union ice
making plants, and they may be OPP
Grated tomorrow on behalf of the city.
The action resulted from the refustl
of the ice manufacturers to arbitrate
with their striking employees.
The seizure ordered today by the
board OF health was stayed until p. m.
to give the ice makers time to decide
whether to operate the plants or turn
them over to the city. The manufac-
turers declared they would do neither
and threatened injunction proceedings.
| Mayor Hunt, Assistant City Solicitor
Merrill and Health officer Lands en-
| deavored to get a more satisfactory
| statement from the ice makers. and
falling this, they ordered the seizure
, by the police at $3.50 p. m. Union Of
ficials then ordered engineers and fire
| men back to their former jobs and it
is expected that the municipal sale of
ice will open tomorrow

to possible spectators to the exclusion
of individual purchasers and regular pat
rons of the bail park
The people of Ensley are generous
supporters of the Birmingham ball club
and We feel that some consideration
should be shown to the fans who attend
the games all season instead of those
who only attend three or four games
during the year and then must have the
best in the park. They should have to
stand in line and take their chances with
the public"
When Secretary r. w Tyson was in
formed of the above statement, he de-
clared that it was too absurd to dignity
with a denial LAS I disposed of the
tickets personally" said the secretary,
Il can assure any that the fans We're
considered The statement that 100 seats
were sold to one person and so to an
other is absurd. In the first place only
154 tickets were placed on sale. No per-
son secured more than 10 seats for HIM
self, and many purchased fewer.
Every season at this period of the
year, just before the games of July a.,
there is great demand for box seats.
Should 1900 be placed on SALE they would
be purchased in a short time. There are
number of people who reserve seats
for the entire season, while others have
reserved seats for the holiday games. The
tickets were not bought by spectators.

CONCERN FOR SAFETY
OF AMERICANS FELT
Mistreatment of Women and
Children Charged to the
Mexican Rebels

Washington. July 2.-Press reports of
the mistreatment of women and children
and other violations of the rules of civ
ilized warfare, incident to the capture
by the Mexican constitutionalists have
caused the state department to. call upon
its consuls in that section of Mexico for
reports of the actual conditions there.
Some concern is felt here for the safety
of Americans and Europeans.
The Wilson administration so far as is
known has not pursued the policy adopted
by former President Taft of warning
either the Mexican government or the
rebel chieftains against interference with
the property and lives of Americans 1t
was suggested today that this was a re-
suit of the administration inclination to
avoid any recognition of the Huerta gov
ernment Secretary Bryan maintains an
attitude of reserve in discussing the re-
ports of policies of the department re-
