DISTRICT DEBT TO
TREASURY JUMPED
MORE THAN MILLION
Accountant Finds One Item of
Interest on Bonds Due Gov
ernment Since 1876.

The discovery that the District owe.
the United States interest OF 81, oo3. PSI 2
on one item alone has been made BY
Accountant Scott Mayes, of Kentucky
who has been employed by the HOUSE
District Committee for the last siStecr
months to probe all Treasury accounts
relating to Washington affairs.
A meeting of the subcommittee, cor-
sisting Of Congressman johnson. Old.
field, and Lobeck, which is dealing with
the financial end of District affairs
was held yesterday. Mr.. Mayes ap.
peared before it and said that the
Treasury of the United States had neg
lected to take over the money that
should have been paid to 1t by the Dis
trict of Columbia, and that, an the gen.
eral routine of accounting matters, the
sum involved had never been returned
to the United States.
Fourth Payment Unmade.
Mr.. Mayes' present report, the first
since the investigation was authorized
on July /. 1911, covers only a single
phase of the question-the interest on
3.65 bonds in one special year. The
issue of 3.65 bonds was authorized June
20, 1874, and interest was paid three
times by distinct acts Of Congress. The
fourth payment is the one which
caused the trouble.
Mr. Mayes' report states that law
was passed June 81. 1876, providing that
the Secretary of the Treasury shall re-
serve from the expenses of the District
not required for the actual expenses of
schools, Police and Fire Departments
a sum sufficient to meet the interest on
these bonds.
That act says that X there is not
enough money on hand. the Treasury
of the United States shall advance the
sums and that the same shall be re-
imbursed to the United States from
time to time, as such revenues may be
paid into said Treasury, until the full
amount shall have been refunded"
One Item $I,ooa,as7.a4.
The Treasury accounts appended to
tie report show that sl,O3, ,257.24 was
paid by the Treasury as interest on
those bonds in the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1876. According to the re-
port none of 1t has been repaid. and
the District of Columbia owes that
amount to the United States on this
showing.
That the Commissioners once appor-
toned their expenditures so as to take
care of the repayment to the United
States Treasury of the amount in Ques-
ton is shown in the report, but, in
reality. 1t had been overlooked in the
following years.

National Roads.

eff France, with about four times the area and four times the popula- ton of New York state, can adequate Iy and economically provide and main tain, from 8 centralized source a national roads system of 24, 900 miles, it is not unreasonable to contend that the same thing can be accomplished for the whole United States asserts Lewis R. Speare, Of Massachusetts.
 France admittedly has the best roads system so far devised contin- ues MT. Speare, land it's national roads constitute about 6 F per cent. of the 365,OoO miles in the whole country y
 -'The national roads, maintained en- tireIy by the government, are con structed forty-two feet wide between ditches, and lead from the capital to the principal cities. With the depart mental or state roads and commercial roads of different classes, the national government has nothing to do except to determine their width, which is fix ed by general laws according to their classification.
 s"The United States has two and a half times the population of France, and about six times the road mileage. To balance this difference, a series of national roads, which would connect our capitals and principal cities, would amount to about 2A per cent. of -he 2,2OO.O00 miles of roads in this coun- try.
 With our enormous resources awaiting development by the extension of our road systems, there seems no reason why we should not proceed with the work of building national roads. National roads building did not ruin France, it made France great.

FINE FLOAT WILL REPRESENT LOCAL

BIidgeporters Will Not Compete for Prizes Offered to Visit
 ing Delegation

Liberty, Truth, Justice and Equal ity, the notices of the Fraternal Or der of Eagles, will be represented by a handsome float in the big state pa rade in this city July 22, which is to be followed by field day at the Bridgeport AerodroIne during the af- ternoon. This was decided upon at a meeting of the general committee held Sunday morning, and the com naittee in charge, headed by pr. D. H. Monahan was instructed to go ahead with the building of the float It will portray the notices, will be in the co1ors of the order, and the imper- sonations will be made by handsome young ladies, friends of members of the aerie. There will also be a nun Der of very handsomely decorated au- tomobiles representing the aer1e. Al though there are prizes offered for both floats and decorated automo obiles, open to all, the Bridgeport aerie will not be a competitor.
 The great interest seems to center in the field day sports of the after noon, and there will undoubtedly be 8 very large crowd at the aerodrome. All preparations for the care and com fort of an immense crowd are being made. There will be card of track and field events, already announced, with such men as Mel Shepard, Abe Ktv1at, and other cracks or the 1f1Sn American Athletic club as competitors, a monster barbecue to furnish dinner for 10000 people, band concerts, dancing, a competitive military drill of degree teams for a purse of $100, and other attractions for the amusement of the public. A number of conces- sions, including a number of attrac- tions from Savin Rock, have already been awarded by the committee. Ann pie refreshments will be provided upon the grounds. One of the feat ures will be the pony races, and they will afford a good deal of interest.
 Bridgeport aerie extends a cordial invitation to the people of Bridgeport as we'll as the mem bers of the order and their friends from all parts of the state.

 The public is not creduIous either of the report that MT. MelIen's severance of presidential relations with the two roads mentioned is the first step in his quiet and considerate elinina ton from the New England railroad situa- ton.

 MAY BE BROUGHT
This Thought to Be Real Mean Ing of Resignation from
 Boston & Maine

New Haven. July 1o-The. reEigna- Gtcn of Charles S. Melen as president oE the Boston and Maine and Maine Central railroads has been attributed to a number of causes but from a well informed source it was learned last night that the right cause had not yet been mentioned From this source it was gIeaned that MT. Me1Ien's res ignation was a certain indication of the belief of the New Haven roads attorneys that the government in . tended to bring suit against the road under the Sherman antitrust law 1Ir. Mellen's resignation had probably been advised as it would afford a par tfal indication that the New Haven road was going to allow the Boston and Maine and Maine Central to be operated with all independence and MT. 1Tellen would thereby in just this measure be able to offer proof that there was no intention of a monopoly in restraint of competition and also cape to some extent the consequences of a suit brought by the government 1f such suit proved successful

A HUMANE CONTRACT UPHELD

An action of repIevin to obtain the possession of horse is brought in City of Rockland vs Anderson, S5 At lantic Reporter, 1O66. In 1906 plaintiff city was the owner of an apparently worthless sick horse, probably grown so in the service of the city. De- fendant offered to give $20 for the horse, but the city instead made a contract in writing with him to take the horse, keep her during the rest of her life, and give her a good home, avoid overworking her, and when her usefulness was over to put her out of the way and bury her, and sold her to him upon those conditions, to which
 he agreed. The defendant doctored the horse and she improved to the extent that she could do the work of an old horse. Now the city wants the horse back. The Supreme Judi ciaI Court of Maine holds that the de- fendant's agreement as to the care and treatment to be given the horse by him was a sufficient consideration for the sale in the condition in which the horse was turned over to him, and the city has no right now to re- pudiate it's contrF4
