CONCRETE ROAD STANDS TEST.
csrro Gordo's Experimental Mile Provss
Highly Satisfactory.

Special to Times Republican,.
Mason City. April lS.--Cerro Gordo
county's experimental mile OF concrete
road has stood the test of both winter
and traffic in fine shape. This Is the
opinion OF Supervisor A. N. Grimm. OF
Clear Lake, who was Instrumental In
having the experimental road built.
'rrhe mile OF concrete was constructed
last summer on the main travelled road
between Cellar Lake and Mason City.
The concrete, mixture OF one part
cement. two parts sand and four OF
gravel. was laid upon a perfectly
graded and thoroughly packed earth
foundation In twenty Ave foot sections,
seven inches thick and sixteen Feet
wide. The cost of the mile was ap-
proximately $4,000. Supervisor Grimm
says there is no sign Of heaving by the
frost, no evidence of wear tho the
pavement has been in constant hard
service since the day 1t was opened
for traffic and that only very rev
small cracks have appeared. Those
cracks will be filed with mixture az
bitumen and sand. The cost OF the
repairs will hardly total $40.

Mrs. Franklin Shepherd was mem
ber Of a dinner party at the Bella

gazed down on the lights of Broadway.
The clasp to her diamond lavalliere
broke and it dropped out Of sight.
Mrs. Shepherd became semi-hysteri-
cal when it could not be found. The
electrician was sent for and he rigged
up a searchight which he played over
the side Of the building. The big dia-
mond was seen glistening on a cornice
forty feet below.
Michael Morgan, a hotel employa,
was lowered over the side with rope.
He recovered the gem and returned it
to Mrs Shepherd. The man who WIS
with her handed him bill, and Mike

LOST BOYS BODY
FOUND in RIVER
McCarrick's Death Offers
Theories of Murder
and Accident.
IBy Telcgraph 10 The Tribunc.l

Philadelphia, June 16.-Thc body OF
Warren McCarrick, the boy who dis
apr cared from his home, at GIG South
18th st. March IL, was found floating
in the Delaware River, off Vine St
wharf, to-day.
Three theories of the cause Of death
are being pursued by the police First,
that he fell accidentally into a sewer
inlet near his home and was carried
down the Schuyllin and up the Della
ware. Second. that he was killed by
the German farmer" who wrote a de-
tailed description OF the Staying to the
child's father, the writer in his second
letter having :poken of burning the
body or throwing it into "the water
Third, that the child was murdered by
degenerate who buried the body in
line or chemicals and later threw it
into the water.
The body was almost unrecognizable.
but certoin details of clothing recog-
nized by the BOYS mother left no doubt
as to the identification.
Rewards Of $4,000 offered by the city
for the recovery Of the boy alive and
the arrest OF his abductors have been
standing. but these are now automau-
callv withdrawn.

sure that he could win. SO the Pro-
gressive STATE committee is engaged in
making a careful canvass Of the state to
have results to present to the Colonel
when he returns. orders have been
given to the canvassers that facts and
not optimism are wanted.
Certain Progressives, by way OF
showing their faith in the Colonel, have
pledged themselves to make large cam
paign contributions if he runs. Indeed,
il is. said that already enough money
has been pledged to run pretty stiff
campaign.
Leaders opposed TO the Endorsement
of District Attorney Whitman by the
Progressives say that talk favorable TO
such a course comes from friends Of
oscar S. Straus who wants to be
candidate for the United States Sen
ate. These friends have suggested the
possibility that the Republicans might
be induced to accept him as their Sen
atorship candidate, if the Progressives
indorsed Whitman.
Although some of the leaders realize
that the charges made against George
w Perkins by Amos r. f.. Pinchot
are likely to injure the Progressive
cause in this state, not many of them
agree that he should be forced cut OF
the ohairmanship of the national ex-
e-utiye committee.
Care will be taken in the Progress
sive campaign not TO go into the trust,
tariff and social and industrial justice
issues. which might involve the dis
cussion Of Mr.. Perkins.

BATTLESHIP SALE
TO GREECE BLOCKED
Daniels Yields to Small
Navy Opposition in
the House.
rrrom The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, June 1s.--Secretary
Daniels's proposal to sell the battle
ships Mississippi and Idaho to Greece
was practically abandoned tonight,
when such opposition arose in the
House that filibuster was staged and
legislative snarl ensued which kept
that body in session without a quorum
until 10 o'clock.
Chairman Padgett Of the Naval AZ
fairs Committee, withdrew his motion
that the House concur in the Senate
amendment authorizing the sale Of the
two ships and the use of'the funds for
the construction Of another Dread
nought Of modern type. His action
vas with the approval of Secretary
Daniels, who, it is said. did not desire
10 push the sale, in view OF the oppo-
sition which developed.
Representative Humphrey, OF Wash
lEgton, made point of no quorum. ana
as there is a bare quorum OF House
members in Washington, as successive
roIcalls to-day showed. 1t required
until 10 o'clock tonight to summon the
requisite 21S members.
AS the 21Sth member answered to his
name Speaker Clark announced
quorum present. Mr.. Padgett then
withdrew his motion TO concur indi-
eating that Secretary Daniels was will
ing 10 forgeo his plans 10 sell the two
battleships.
The small navy" men were not so
much opposed to the sale Of the Mis-.
s!ssippi and the Idaho as to the pro-
posal TO use the funds to build another
Dresdnought, which would have meant
virtual authorization Of three new
ships.

AS MOOSE HERDER
Robinson Ready to Resign
as Progressive State
Committee Head.

Theodore Douglas Robinson, nephew
Of Colonel Roosevelt, is to retire from the
chairmanship OF the Progressive state
Committee. This action will be en-
tirely voluntary, as he has realized FOR
some time that his close relationship TO
the Colonel has caused embarrassment
both to the organization and TO himself
in his work.
The retirement Of Mr.. Robinson Will
take place before the primaries, it was
stated YESTERDAY probably at the state
wide conference to be held in Utica this

LAWYER and young Mr.. Wilkinson Is

retired from business and has time to
devote to politics. II is predicted that
the Craftsmanship will go to him.
Mr.. Robinson has been chairman
since the retirement Of William II.
Hotchkiss soon after the campaign q
1912. He argued against his own Sc
Iection at the time because Of his re-
Iationship TO the Colonel He seemed.
however. at the time To be the most
available man. Several times since
then he has suggested that ii would be
better for him to return to the ranks.
Although Mr.. Robinson is firmly OF
tho belief that Colonel Roosevelt should
bc the Progressive candidate for Gov
ernor. ne has hesitated To urge his
opinion because some people might at
tribute bis attitude to family influence.
II may be stated as a fact that all
the big Progressive leaders in this state
are strongly i'm favor of the candidacy
OF Colonel Roosevelt So firmly are
they convinced that he should run mat
they fought with him TO accept their
view before he sailed for Spain. AS
the situation now stands. the Colonel
seems 10 be wavering. He might con-
