Aid for Good Roads is An
nounced BY Secretary
Houston. N

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. o.
Secretary Houston, Of the Depart
ment of agriculture says that the
state and federal governments should
work together for highway improve
ment in order that large proper
tion of the money annually spent
flor road construction may not be
lwasted.
In his department the office OF
public roads has been demon
strating the value of proper road
biifdtng by the construction OF GER
tain oDject-fesson roads, and the for.
lest service is carrying out his idea
OF national and state cooperation in
iroad building The law requires
that ten per cent of the gross re-
ceipts from the national forests shall
be spent insthe states in which tae
forests afe'.situated. This money Is
expended for road improvement uu-
der direct control of the secretary
of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under
this act, based on the receipts of the
national forests for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1918. is s2S4.6SS.-
68. From the 1912 receipts for this
ten per cent road item, there is an
additional s1S4,S81.1O, which -
/ still available.
In administering the ten per cent
road fund, forest officers charged
with the actual plans and expendi-
lures, in the neighborhood OF their
forests have, in almost all cases, Sc
cured an equal or larger co-opera-
tive fund from state authorities for
the building of certain pieces OF
road. n -
With the money thus expended
many important roads are being
built or put in repair. one on the
wyoming national forest, six miles
long makes accessible to farmers a
large body of timber and opens up

LANDSLIDE MAY DELAY
OPENING OF CANAL
Thousands of Tons of Earth Bury
Cars and Steam Shovels in
Culebra Cut.

Owing 10 a gigantic landslide in the
western section of the Panama Canal
reported to the War Department yes
terday, it is probable that the official
opening of the canal will have to be
postponed at least a month and perhaps
longer.
The slide. which occurred about mid
night on Monday. carried with it about
L0C0,0Oo cubic yards of earth. gravel and
rock which buried an entire train of cars
and two steam shovels SO that no portion
was visible above the surface. In addi-
ton TO this damage the slide so lOosened
the supporting wall of Purple HILL" a
miniature mountain Overhanging the
Culebra Cut, that it is momentariIy
feared that this entire mass, comprising
another 100000 cubic yards of clay. will
come tumbling down upon the workmen
and thus cause another pOstponement in
the opening of the canal.
The army engineers also reported yes
terday another and smaller slide near
the Atlantic opening Of the canal Only
ESQ cubic yards of earth were affected
by this slide, however. and it is not
thought that, with the facilities at hand
it will be hard TO remove this debris.

'NAGEL ORDERS CASTRO
EXCLUDED FROM u. S.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Claims Moral Attitude in Barring
Former Venezuelan Dictator.

Secretary Of Commerce and Labor Ma.
gel yesterday ordered the exclusion OF
Cipriano Castro. former President OF
Venezuela, from the United States, under
the immigration laws. Secretary Nagel
in his decision, gave as the main grounds
for the South Americans exclusion. that
IL Castro were given a hearing and per-
mitted TO refuse to answer questions. any
alien. upon examination. might be equal
ly retIcent with IMMUNITY. Secretary Ma
gel declared that such a course would
render the immigration laws useless.
Castro's refusal to answer the direct
question as to whether he was a party
TO the killing OF Paredez. leader OF a
Venezuelan revolt. who, the State De-
partment has proved. was executed by
Castro's orders. without trial OF any
kind. gave rise to this aspect OF the con-
troversy.
Tho killing OF Paredez. the Secretary
claims. excludes Castro as an alien who
has committed \ felony. The immigra-
ton laws provide that only crimes in
volvlng moral turpItude and not political
crimes have the power to render an alien
inadmissible. Castro's execution OF Par
edez. Secretary Nagel held. was not u
political act. but one involving moral
turpitude, inasmuch as Castro did not
Invoke the law Of the land by means of
trial or court-martial In reply to the
argument that Castro, as President OF
Venezuela, had the right to execute Par
edez. Mr.. Nagel says: If such a con-
clusion were to be accepted. then burn
ing at the stake or subjectiug a victim
TO torture, or, indeed, any offense COM
mitted by an official in charge, would
satisfy the exception. provided the act
IS committed during political excitement
and against a participant"

Ernest H. Holden. Of New YORK, an
importer or toothbrushes, was responsible
for a brief expose of sweatshop condi-
tons in New York City and Brooklyn.
Holton asked that the duty on tooth
brushes be reduced from 20 to 20 per
cent al valorem, and attacked the claims
OF brush manufacturers that the contirru-
ance of the 40 per cent duty is necessary
TO maintain 4 high standard of wages.
He charged that girls were employed In
certain New York factories at rate
of 81 a week in the manufacture of
brushes. and that they had to work
under severe conditions and long hours.
He presented the committee with photo
graphs of some of the conditions which
he claimed were deplorable. 1t was
learned that several representatives or
the toothbrush Industry who mad In

decided not to do so when they found
out that HoIton was prepared TO present

Chairman of Committee Calls Alfred
M. Best "Presumptuous Self
constituted Censor"

After a month of rambling, illy-di
rected investigation, a probe, however
which erred in the amount of irrelevant
material read into the record, rather
than in the failure to develop relevant
facts, the hearings of the insurance in
vestigation closed yesterday morning

ance companies, the underwriting firm OF

ments and read theb REFS, it can take nc

A severe criticism of the ''prosecu-
tons" star witness, by the chairman
of the committee, added interest to pro-
ceedings yesterday morning, a criticism
which was heartily concurred in by
James F. Stone, of the American Union
Fire Insurance Company, of PhiIadeI-
phta- witness called by counsel for the
insurance companies. Mr.. Stone de-
scribed an experience with Mr. Best
somewhat similar TO that of the Com
merical Company, declaring that Mr.
Bests insistent search for private in
formation as to the organization work
of new companies was nothing short OF
persecution and was tolerated only be-
cause Mr.. Best publishes a powerful
insurance publication which can work
much harm through adverse criticism
Of a new company.
Il thought when he testified" COM
mented Chairman Johnson. that he was
a presumptuouS, self-constituted censor
and that insurance men were afraid of
him because of the columns of his
paper
Mr.. Stone agreed with this verdict with
tears in his voice. Mr.. Stone declared
that Best's hostile criticism of his COM
pany had followed a refusal by Stone
to purchase for distribution among his
field agents a number of volumes of
Best's insurance manual at so volume.
