connection with the Buck Stove and
Range case. The court held the stat

The supreme courts decision today
in the celebrated contempt charge

years. They were once before con.

sentenced to one year in Jail, Mitche

months imprisonment. In 1911 thei'
convictions were set aside by the

HIGHWAY PROBLEM IN NEW
YORK STATE.

The state of New York il engaged
in building twelve thousand miles Of
road, which, according to Governor
Glynn, will wear out forty years be-
fore it is paid for. That is an as
founding statement; and unfortunate
ly it is not moro astounding than it
is true. This fact and many others
of an Illuminating and extremely dis
concerting character were contained
in a recent message Of the governor
to the legislature. Tho message is
written in the direct and unadorned
style which characterizes the COVER
nor's utterances. and it contains an
array of facts Of such great import
ance to the people Of this state, that
we could wish to see a copy of this
message placed in the hands Of every
voter throughout the state.
The question Of the proper con-
struction and maintenance Of roads is
not new one in the columns of this
journal. For many years, and during
the whole period in which the coun-
try, awakened to the sense Of it's
need, has been giving attention to
the matter of highway construction,
the Scientific American has empha-
sized the fact that the problem is
more one of maintenance than Of con-
struction. The various states have
built new macadam roads upon the
most approved modern principles, and
these roads, at least in late years,
have been as good as any that could
be constructed. Unfortunately the
state authorities have been slow to
realize that, Of all civil engineering
constructions, the macadAm road is
the one of all others that needs in
cessant supervision, and immediate
and most careful repair whenever
and wherever the signs Of breaking
down and general disintegration are
seen.
The macadam road il admirably
adapted for the class Of highway traf-
fic which passed over it in the per-
iod preceding the appearance Of the
automobile and the motor truck. For
horse drawn traffic 1t is ideal, and.
with a reasonable amount Of super
vision and repair, It may Be regard
ed as a permanent structure. To-day,
however, such are the speeds and
weights Of the automobile and motor
truck, and 20 greatly have they null
tiplied in numbers, that ths nacadam
road has proved unequal - ~ bur-

CUP DEFENDER
DEFIANCE LAUNCHED

BATH. Me-, May 1.-THE sloop
Defiance, which is being built hers
for the Tri-City syndicate rs can
didats for the defense of the Amer
ica's cup, was launched today with
impressive and elaborate ceremonies.
The Defiance was planked with great
care by expert handlers of mahogany
from East Boothbay, Me-, special at
tention being paid to strength with
an idea of minimum weight. With
that idea in view the boat has an in
ner planking of Douglas fir, some of
the single streaks being long enough
to reach from stem to stern. Over
the fir has been placed highly polish
ed mahogany as an outer skin. The
Defiance, like Sir Thomas Lipton's
challenger, Shamrock w, will have
hollow wooden masts. Not only the
members of the syndicate but the citi-
zens' Of Bath, joined in today's fes-
tivities upon the launching. Bath citi-
zens took as much interest in the
launching of the defender as they
used to take at the launching Of the
big wind jamniers which made the
seaport famous years ago. A special
train brought members of the syndi-
cate, their friends and large con-
tingent from the Boston Yacht club
of which the boats designer, George
Owen, is q member. 1t was planned
to step the mast Immediately after
the launching, on the Same tide if
possible.
