REWARD ROADS
WILL Be BUILT
State Commissions Expects Leg.
lslature to Supply Funds

Lansing, May 1.-THE fact that the
supreme court has declared unconsti-
tutional the auto tax law from which
the state highway commission expected
To receive $4,000 in auto license fees,
will not greatly interfere with good
road construction i'm Michigan this
year, according tn State Highway
Commissioner Frank Rogers. The state
officials say that various townships
and counties, where the county system
Of road building is in operation. pro-
pose To continue road building during
the summer, trusting that the next
legislature will appropriate sufficient
funds to pay all rewards for the high
ways constructed under the supervision
of the state
There are on file in Rogers office
application for reward roads amount
ing TO $l,3S4,1ll. while the depart
ment on July /, when 100000 in trunk
line funds become available. will have
"A total Of $3.50 900 to pay rewards for
highways. Not all of the applications
for reward roads will be granted by
Commissioner Rogers. but IL is expect
ed that the reward roads approved will
total over Sl.000,0O0. thus leaving the
state about $65O,O0O short of having
sufficient funds in its highway depart
ment To pay the rewards.
Rogers says that many county and
township road commissioners have
notified him that they will not stop
road building but will continue the
work and demand of the next legis-
lature that funds be provided for pay
ment of the rewards. Rogers says that
with 30 or more of the IS counties Of
the state demanding money for reward
roads, the members of the legislature
will undoubtedly be compelled to APP
propriate enough money to pay for all
reward roads built during the present
year.
owing to the recent ruling Of tn"
supreme court that the motor car tax
law Is unconstitutional, the state high
way department will be unable To pay
rewards promptly on roads which are
completed during the year of 1914"
said Commissioner Rogers today
There Is remaining in the ordinary
state reward fund Of the appropriation
for the fiscal year, about $50, 1000, which
will be paid out after the end of the
fiscal year. June 30, 1914, upon state
reward roads completed and accepted
at that time. Payments will be made
until the funds are exhausted in the
order in which the applications We're
filed
should any roads he built and this
department he unable To pay reward
owing To lack of funds. the community
will have to wait at least until the next
session of the legislature for their
money. Judging from the past il is
reasonable to expect that the next leg
islature will appropriate sufficient
funds To take care of the rewards on
all roads built. However, the depart
ment is unable to guarantee payment"

DRASTIC PLAN PROPOSED.
Marshal Wills Determined to Put End
to the Cow Nuisance

Laurium is again contending with
cows upon the streets i'm the newly
planted gardens which have been
given SO much attention ana elsewhere
where their presence is undesirable.
Marshal Wills is determined To take
drastic measures, however. To correct
the fault and unless greater care il eX-
ercised the owners of some of the cows
are likely to find themselves subject
TO a fine.
Laurium has two ordinances which
deal with the COW nuisance, one which
provides for the impOunding of the
animals and the other for the prosecu-
ton of the owners. The latter is ~
far more drastic in that ii provides a
penalty of n fine of SIC and costs. This
Is the ordinance under which Marshal
Wills proposed To combat the nuisance
this year and IL doubtless will produce
provided
owners of COWS offer as an excuse
for their presence on the streets the
fact that the pastures are not yet open
ana they have no place To care for
their COWS during the daytime. This
will have little influence with the au-
thorities, however, as the latter assert
the presence of cows except when be-
ing driven through the streets is a di-
rect violation of the ordinance The
corrective measures will he nnplipl
Immediately.

The letters Of the spanish Prison
or" first made their appearance at
tho homes of American volunteers af-
cor the Spanish American war. said
volunteers evidently having commune
coted their financial standing to some
chance acquaintance during their stay
IN santiago or Havana. Soon. how
over. the activities of the Spanish
Prisoner" were transferred to England
and the Continent and many persons
were lured to Madrid on the promise of
a fortune Then the Embassies i'm Ma
drid took a hand and issued circular
letters To the press of their respective
countries describing the methods of
the Spanish Prisoner and warning
all persons against him.
Finally the Spanish police, aided by
an ex-Scotland Yard man who had
cclona police. arrested gang, at
whose lodgings were found address
hooks written in several languages
containing thousands of names of
persons of means with minute descrip-
tons of their habits, character. and
financial standing. With these arrests
il was believed that the days of the

A few months ago a Spaniard call
inc himself Senior Catala arrived i'm
Paris and began TO advertise himself
in the popular press as THE President
q" the Knights of Mystery" His bust
ness apperaed to be to reveal secrets
AT So apiece--secrets of success, infal-
lible love philtres, and waters of eter-
nal youth and beauty. But he bought
secrets as well as sold them and these
other secrets were his stock in trade
For example, a servant had been dis
charged and held grudge against her
mistress. The servant would call up
on The President of the knights of
Mystery" and for n consideration
would receive a complete history of
her mistress's life which she could use
Tor Matchmaking purposes. or. the
servant herself would bring the his
tory and would be handsomely paid
for it.
1t was not long before Catala's oper-
atoms and his "tabalistic Institute"
which was in reality a sort of black
mailing clearing house. attracted the
attention of the police. His letters
were intercepted and examined. a
bright detective compared them with
some specimens of the Spanish Pri-
soner's" handwriting. They were
found to be identical.
But when the police called at the
'Cabalistic Institute" the man had
disappeared He was traced to the
Spanish frontier. where all trace of
him was lost. although at San Sebas-
tan Spanish detectives searched the
train in which he had left Paris.
