VIRGINIA PROFITS
BY FEDERAL AID
State Highway Commissioners
Wilson Secures $4,000 for
Road Improvement.

United states Senator Claude a.
swanson and Captain z. st. julien Will
son, state Highway Commissioner,
have succeeded in engineering n clever
coup that brings to Virginia $4,000
OF Federal money for post roads. To
explain the brilliancy OF this coup
IL should he said that Virginia, In COM
mon with forty-scven other States
was originally allotted $4,000 for her
post roads, and that the additional
$4,000 obtained for Virginia repre-
sents the apportionmenta OF three
state who scorned the aid.
Tho story Of the accomplishment Is
THIS: following Il stubborn but sue
cessful fight by the American Auto
mobile Association for Federal as
sistance in the building Of State high
ways. the government finally agreed to
give $4,000 10 each of weight
States, TO ic employed in the construc-
ton Of post roads. Under tho pro-
Visions OF the appropriation the Post
1 Office Department Is 10 designate the
roads upon which the money IS TO be
spent, and The actual work is to be
dono by the United States once of
Public Roads. which is under the di-
rection OF Logan Waller PfEc
Among the first TO apply for tho
$4,000 appropriation was State High
way Commissioner Wilson. His appli-
cation was Immediately honorcd but
hearing ruinors that certain States did
not care 10 take the money under the
conditions IMPOSED. he wrote To Scna-
tor swanson for information. The SEN
ator replied that one State had refused
the appropriation. At once Commits
sonor Wilson laid claim to the re-
jected $4,000, and With the assistance
OF the Virginia delegation In Congress
succeeded in obtaining N. second
state turned down the $4,000 Federal
sift. ANA . second application from
Commissioner Wilson was honorcd.
Again the scheme was worked success
fully when Il third State ignored the
proffercd aid, and Virginia was given
It's allotment unon request. In each
case the state and counties supplement
the fund for tho improvement OF the
roads selected

REFUSED MOTION
TO DISMISS SUIT
.. A. DENNIE WANTS 1000 FROM
PORTLAND CEMENT co.
FOR FLAWS.

Minot, N. D., May 13.-Judge K. z.
leighton denied the motion Of the
Portland Cement Co. for the dismissal
Of the action brought against the com
pany by: D.. A. Dinnie, contractor, for
$4,000 damages, for alleged imperfec-
tons in the cement supplied by the
company for the foundations of the
MinotI normal school.
The motion for dismissal was made
on the ground that the court had no
jurisdiction in the matter.
The attorneys for the cement com
pany alleged that ia. Phipps, sales
man for the company. on whom the
papers in the case were served, had
been lured into the state in order that
the service might be made upon him
and that the service was therefore not
valid.
Judge Leighton overruled the mo-
ton and allowed the service to stand
The 'company has now made a general
appearance and the case will come
to trial.
