For a Road from the Kester
Cement Bridge to the
Highland Addition.

INDUSTRIAL, May 5.-A movement
is on foot to build a road from the
cement bridge at W. G. Kester's to
Curkendall's store at the corparte
limits at Broad Oaks. To do this there
would be 1000 feet Of Broad Oaks to
contend with before reaching the
Highland addition. Besides, the route
is hard one and harder yet to keep
1t in repair. The practical route is
that leaving the Buckhannon pike near
Jefferson Everson's and extending
through Arbutus Park across Elk
creek between the South Penn shops,
down Broadway and Main street TO
the east end of the Industrial bridge.
The distance would not exceed $500
feet including the span Of the creek
and only 500 feet of the corporation
Of Broad Oaks, a total of 5000 feet,
saving enarly 100 feet to reach the
Highland addition or Goff ground and
a good start on the road to Grasselli.
The traction company is contemplate
ing changing its line to the fair
grounds to this route. 1t would be
a good idea for the county court to
take an interest in the bridge the
traction company intends to build.

for Now.
INTERPRETATION
tnY AnnociArxn pnr,n

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May g.
Committees from Ohio and West Viz
ginia were expected to appear before
the International executive board of
the United Mine Workers of America
when 1t went into session today &C
cording to William o. Green, secre-
tary-treasurer.
Mr.. Green said the committee from
Ohio would discuss with the board
what should be the policy of the Ohio
miners in regard to the new mine run
law in that state.
The question which the committee
from West Virginia was to present to
the board, Mr.. Green said, was mere
ly the Interpretation Of clause in the
contract regarding suspension. The
clause states that after the expiration
of the contract on April the men
were to remain at work at least thirty
days or longer If negotiations were
still pending.
Some OF the district and local offic-
ers in West Virginia commended that
there was no change of negotiating
a new contract and demanded orders
for a walk out May when the thirty
day period expired.
The operators and others of the dis
trict leaders held that parleys were
under way and the miners should re-
main at work.
Mr.. Green said that according to
information he had received the ma
jority of the miners had acted on the
advice to remain at work.

to start for the Mexican capital at
once.
Admiral Mayo at Tampico has in
formed the navy department that he
would have no trouble in taking Tam
pico with his present forces and 1t was
learned today that he has more than
once limited in his dispatches that it
would be advisable to take such &C
ton.

partment from Vera Cruz were sum
married. in this statement by Secretary
Garrison today:
THE latest message received from
General Funston came during the

pumping station yesterday. He re-
ports that he is arranging for prop
er defense of the pumping station
without extending our lines"
