Henry 4. Wise. United States Attorney
and counsel for Albert Freeman. JOSIAH
Quincy. Julian Hawthorne and Dr. VIII
lam J. Morton. it was agreed that the
trial which has been Interrupted by the
sudden Illness Of Judge Houeh. should 80
on before Judge Mayer. The proceeding
will be resumed why're Judge Hough ieit
il. and the seven weeks Of work VIII not
have TO go 10 waste.
This IS said to be the first case o. I'M
portance in which the illness of Judge
threatened TO result IN mistrial For
several days the defence refused to agree
10 accept another judge. and 1t is under
stood that several indictments now under
seal played an important part in BRING
ing about compromise.
The case has cost the government about
$40 900 thus far This amount IL consiu-
cred small in view of the fact that one Oh
the Hawthorne companies spent Aoo" ior
stamps in crcularizing and soliciting pur-
chaseS Of stock.

STATE WILL FURNISH
 MATERIAL AT COST
COMMISSION WILL OPERATE ROCK QUARRY-BOOM IN
 ROAD BUILDING.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-A boom in road build ing is now expected in Arkansas as the result of the State Highway Com missions action. The commission last week leased a big rock crushing plant and will operate it with convict labor.
 It is the plan of the commission to furnish to the road districts of the state crushed rock at cost. In addi- tion to this an effort will be made to get reduced freight rates on all rail roads for the crushed stone. ITO ob- tain this rate" said Rueben G, Dye, We, of course, will have to show the railroad companies that no individual contractor will be a beneficiary. This we will be easily able to do. With the low cost of production and the result ant low selling price to consumers, road work in the state will be en- hanced greatly.
 Besides the crusher and a 20-acre quarry tract, the lease includes several stockades erected about two years ago iOi NOIif iNtS WlO lUpIl were uStu dS laborers. A request has been made of the state penitentiary for 100 men.
 Active work will begin soon.
 The maehinetry leased by the state includes three of the latest type gyra- tory crushers driven by steam engines. The boilers are in good condition and when combined will develop steam for 300 horsepower. In the quarry tract leased there are approximately 2p acres of blue trap rock. which is en- tirely free from slate and shale .and contains but every little dirt. The oringlnal cost of the plant, inclding the crushers, engines. boilers, a steam shovel. drills quarry cars. the railway tracks and the quarry site. approxi- mated S9G,000. according to Mir Dye.
