STATE ROADS TO
LEAD TO CAPITAL
Federal Aid Congress Recommends
Road Improvement for Rich
and Poor Alike.

That national roads be built connect
ing Washington with the capitals OF
every State in the Union was the gist
of a resolution unanimously adopted by
the second Good Roads Federal Kid
Congress at last nights session at the
Raleigh. The resolution further advo-
Gated tho creation. wherever they do not
now exist. of effective State departments
in every State for the construction and
the maintenance of good roads
The convention heartily indorsed a
plan advanced by William T. Page. on
behalf of Representative Slcmp Of Vir-
ginia. urging the appointment OF a COM
mittee in the House of Representatives
to look after legislation affecting good
roads.
Representative Moss of Indiana de-
ploftd the tendency which. he declared.
characterized some OF the speakers in
encouraging class dintinctions and sim
liar factionalism. His remarks We're
caused by a number OF speakers declar-
ing the farmers were holding back the
good roads project because they be-
lieved them tn be only automobile
roads,
II believe that the farmer is entitled
to consideration" said Mr.. Moss. Il
think reckless drivers should have their
licenses taken from them. 1 am also
should have the exclusive right TO the
roads The roads are for all people the
rich and the poor alike.
Other speakers were Representative
kinkaid of Nebraska. Judge J. NJ. Lowe.
of Kansas City. Mo-: Pendleton BeCkley.
of Louisville. Ky: Samuel III. Lea. of
South Dakota: Dell NJ Proctor. OF Cliff
ton. Ariz.; c. c. Gilbert. Of Nashville.

Following symposium in which
speakers from more than thirty States

made addresses. the convention adjourn
ed to meet again next year at some place
to be decided upon at the annual meet
ing Of the executive committee.

CHIEFTAN
AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Charles F. Murphy and Other New
Workers Greeted BY the
President.

Charles F. Murphy and several other
Tammany braves were received by
President Wilson at the White House
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Murphy and his
party were weeded from the waiting line
OF visitors in the East Room and greeted
by the President in the smaller and
more exclusive Green Room.
Upon inquiry 1t was explained later
that the special reception OF the Tam
many chieftain and his party in the Green
Room had been due to a mistake. Mr..
Murphy mad made all arrangements to
leave the city on the ) o'clock train. and
the White House attenants had been in
structed to facilitate his reception. on
their own initiative they then arranged
for the meeting with the President in the
Green Room.
Mr.. Murphy's party consisted of Mrs.
Murphy and Miss Murphy. John II.
McCooey. the Brooklyn leader, and
Mrs. McCooey. Nicholas J. Hayes and
Mrs. Hayes, Secretary Tom Smith. OF
Tammany Hall: Philip J. Donahue.
treasurer OF Tammany. and Represent
atives Daniel J. Riordan and John J.
Fitzgerald. They arrived at the White
House promptly and were shown first
into the East Room. There was a
craning OF necks among those present,
TOT every Dody apparently thought they
were to see the meeting of the Presi-
dent with the men whom he had
treated with such scant consideration
at Syracuse in the pre-convention cam
paiEn.
Mr.. McCooey was the frst to grasp
the Executives hand. Mrs. McCooey
was next. Then came the Tammany
leader. The President smiled. and SO
did he. Il wish you success" said Mr..
Murphy. and Mr.. Wilson thanked him.
The President then extended his hand
to Mrs. Murphy.
After leaving the President the Muir
ply party went over to the executive
offices to speak to Secretary Tumulty.
Mr.. Tumulty showed the Tammany chief
tain the Presidents room and the Cab
inct room.
Democratic politicians in Washington
say that il is very plain what Mr..
Murphy's purpose was in seeking the
White House appointment. Mr.. Murphy
desired to dispel the impression that
has gone abroad in New York State
that he is on the outside OF the politi-
cal fence surrounding the Wilson ad-
ninistration.

escaped to the border by way OF Por-
flrio Diaz. thence making his way to
San Antonio.

Am New Law at Sharks

Farmers aud those interested in the

greatly interested in the act OF the

nor-elect Ferris to include in his inau
gural message statement favoring a
law 70 forbid the sale of land in the
state by representing il 10 be- Of better
productive than II truly is
That this law would take all parts Of
this state out OF the hands of the land
sharks is the opinion Of local men.
All through the state farms are being
represented to be more than twice their
actual value and outsiders who have
never seen the property are induced to
buy.
This practice. u is believed, injures
the sale of good farms. Land dealers
who handle first class property have
found considerable difficulty in selling
il after land dealers have attempted TO
swindle farm seekers by selling unpro-
ductive land. should the incoming
governor take steps 90 remedy this evil
IL would meet with the approval OF
