GOOD ROADS EVERYWHERE is
the slogan of the National Highways
Association. 1t believes that the de-
velopment of good roads can best be
/ brought about by the National Govern
ment's building and maintaining a sys-
TEN of $4,000 miles of national high
ways connecting all the states and
principal cities of the Union. The as
ISOLATION has published a map showing
the tentative location of a system of
National Highways that would directly
serve more than sixty per cent of the
population of the United States.
Already several good roads organi-
cations have amalgamated with the
National Highway association. The
National Old Trails Road Association
and the Inter Mountain Good Roads
Association have become departments
of the National body, and the Ohio
Good Roads Federation, the Great
White Way Association, the North
Carolina Good Roads Association, and
the Pennsylvania Good Roads Associa-
ton have become divisions of it.

american children, one or both of
whose parents are native born. Amer
lean families are as ready as foreign
families to let children enter the fac
tory before they are sixteen. The
Connecticut State Commission, in a
study of more than 1900 women and
girls representing fourteen racial
groups found a larger percentage of
Americans with American fathers
among the workers under sixteen than
among the older workers.
The latest volume of the Federal
Report on the Condition of Woman
and Child Wage Farmers in the United
States makes a similar showing. OF
the twenty-eight racial groups into
which the $4,000 workers are divided,
only four races, involving less than
one-tenth of the total, had a larger
percentage of workers under sixteen
than the native white Americans. Of
all the workers of all races studied In
twenty-three industries in seventeen
states, one in twelve was under sixteen
years; of the American workers, in
the same industries and the same
states, one in eleven was under six
teen.
The National Child Labor commit
tee suggests that in the LIGHT of the
widely recognized evils of factory
work for young people,it would be
well for all industrial states to consid-
er following the example of Ohio
which has just put into operation a
law forbidding employment in fac.
tories and several other occupations

cuMMINs ON PATRONAGE.
Says He is Not Opposing Any One Of
Personal Grounds

Washington, May Ex-senator Cum
Minis gave out a statement defining
his attitude toward appointments in
Iowa He made it plain he would not
oppose. and is not opposing any man
for personal reasons.
Senator Cumnlins does not mention
Claude Porter for the district attorney
ship of southern Iowa. but there is no
doubt his statement will be taken In
part as applying to Porter. Many have
supposed that because Porter made
bitter personal attacks on Cummins
in the governorship campaign some
years ago the senator would retaliate.
Senator Cumnins says: There have
been so many unauthorized and UNI
founded statements printed about my
attitude toward Iowa appointments
that I want to say once for all that
I have not said or written word
to the president or attorney general
concerning any person under consid-
Grafton for an appointment until asked
by the president for my opinion, and
this has occurred only with reference
to the three appointments already
made.
Il have not indicated to the president
or attorney-general directly or indi-
rectly that I would oppose the conf1r-
nation of any person. II the president
asks me about any man he thinks Of
appointing / will give him the truth
so far as known to me-"

Mason, Ga, May 21.-The case of B.
Sanders Walker, the young banker
who last Wednesday swallowed seven
grain bichloride Of mercury tablet,
mistaking 1t for headache remedy, is
puzzling his physicians. Mr.. Walker
early yesterday was reported to be
holding his own and his physicians
stated there were indications that he
might recover. He suffers no pain and
is conscious.
Water is being given the patient in
travenously. "A pint Of olive oil is
given him every twelve hours and he
is kept in steaming blankets to elimi-
nate acid. The kidneys are responding
slowly to treatment.

who has just died to the body of B.

edy that would save the unfortunate
bankers life, if the mercury tablet he
swallowed has destroyed one of his
kidneys This was the statement yes
terday of a prominent physician who
is a member Of the Johns Hopkins hos
pital staff.
He pointed out that DIR. Alexis Car
rel, of the Rockefeller Institute of Re-
search has successfully transplanted
the kidneys from one dog to another,
and in a few hours the dogs were
walking about and eating as II their
organs had not been disturbed.
According to DR.. Carroll. this OPP
Grafton could be done to the human
system, and he is the authority for
the statement that blood vessels and
other organs can be successfully trans
plated and will continue to grow in the
human body.
Another local physician predicted
Mr. Walkers recovery, altho he might
be paralyzed for life. This doctor said
he has several cases just like the
Macon one, and in only one Of them
did the patient die.
Other high medical authorities here
in discussing the case expressed their
belief that Mr.. Walker could not pos
sibly recover.

scHwA1 TELLS STEEL POOLS.
international Rail Agreement To
Small For Trust, He Says.

New York. May 2l.-Charles NJ.
Schwab resumed the witness stand for
further cross examination by govern :
ment counsel in the suit to dissolve the
United States Steel corporation.
Before being questioned by Jacob N.
Dickinson, the government attorney,
Mr.. Schwab corrected the testimony he
had given yesterday to the effect that
the. Illinois Steel Company and the
Carnegie Steel Company, subsidiaries
of the so-called trust, were competl-
tors before they were absorbed. He SAID
that while there was no competition
between the companies on structural
steel, because the Illinois company
made only small parts" there was
competition in rails during the periods
when rail pools were not in force.
The existence OF competition be-
tween these two concerns is one of the
important points in the government
case against the corporation.
Prosecutor Dickinson asked abou:
certain pool agreements on rails In
1897. The witness admitted that the
Carnegie Steel Company, of which he
was then president, had some agree
ments of that kind. The government
attorney then read minute which set
forth that English rail manufacturers
proposed to allot 100000 tons of rails to
the Carnegie company III England and
Canada.

Schwab said. 1T was not big enough.

consideration of 100000.
I'VE stayed out chiefly because We
were not in condition to compete.
said Mr.. Schwab. "but we put up {
good front and got the 100000"
In refutation of Mr.. Schwab's testi-
mony that one of the principal object!
of the organization of the corporation
was to develop the export trade, At

HOPE TO ACCUMULATE
ADVERSE PUBLIC SENTIMENT
BY Threats Of Delay and Because Of
Narrow Margin in Favor Of Bill
Senator NewIands Between Two
Fires-May Vote Against Measure.
Especial Correspondent

Washington, May 21.-Senate demo-
cratic leaders. members of the demo-
cratic national committee and the
president are disquieted over reports
that senate republican leaders will
block the pa ssage of the tariff bill until
Sept. l.
information which they consider re-
I liable has come to them that the re-
publican leaders, more especially the
old guard republicans, are bent on fore
ing critical consideration and discus
sion of every paragraph in the bill
| This will be done, il is asserted, both
for the purpose of trying to make
changes in the measure and Of causing
delay in the hope that public sentiment
will crystalize against the bill and force
the democrats to make increases over
the Underwood rates. 1t is the theory
of many of the republicans that the
more the bill is discussed. the stronger
will be the pressure from outside on
the democrats TO increase duties above
the level of the house bill.
Democrats Predict Reaction.
Frien6.s of the president insist ne is
! not worried over the situation and that
he believes the republicans will be
hurt more than the democrats by
stretching out the debate. Neverthe-
less. the margin of control in the SEN
ate is so close that the democratic
leaders there are concerned over the
situation and want the bill put thru as
expeditiously possible.
The Louisiana senators Will not vote
for the bill if it carries free sugar and
with them voting on the republican
side it needs but one more democratic
detection from the bill to cause tie in
the senate. Senator Newlands has the
leaders guessing He rs under fire
from his state not to support free
sugar and free wool and he is under
pressure from the democratic leaders
to line up for the bill.
More Time For Hearings.
Some concessions have been made
to manufacturers and to republicans by
the announcement of Senator Simmons
that the subcommittee of the finance
committee will give more time for
hearings than was at first intended.
