NJ NEWS .OFiTHE OLD DOMINION
WRECK OF MONROE BLOWN UP.
Revenue Cutter Onandaga Clears
Coastal Lane For Ships.

Norfolk, Va, March 27.-The wreck
of the. Old Dominion liner Monroe,
sunk in January by the Merchants &
Miners packet Nantucket, with a loss
of 40 odd lives, has been blown up by
the revenue cutter Onon-aga, which
returned to port here today.
Four explosions of guneotton re-
moved all of the wreck that was a
menace to navigation and the coastal
lane is again free for deep ships. No
bodies were brought to the surface
and thus the statements of the divers
that they hal been swept out by the
strong submarine current were rerl-
fed.
The work of destroying the wreck
was very spectacular. Tons of water
and debris from the sunken ship shot
high into the air with every charge
The hulk now is covered by ID feet
of water
Considerable wreckage was brought
to the surface, including mahogany
chair that was used in the main sa-
loon.
A number of newspaper men and
moving picture operators witnessed
the destruction of the vessel. Wreck
ers will continue to recover freight
from the hold of the sunken ship.

sGon,nues.,

Florence was delighted at the idea
of coaching party. Often during
her school girl days she had seen the
fashionable coaches go careening
along the road, with the sharp, clear
note of the bugle rising above the
thunder of hoofs and rafting of
wheels. Jones was not enthusiastic;
neither was he killjoy.
But you are to go along, too" said
Florence.
Il, Miss Florence?"
The countess invited you especial
ly. You will go with a hamper"
"Ah. in my capacity as butler; very
good, Miss Florence" To her he gave
no sign of his secret satisfaction.
The hour arrived, and the gay party
bowled away. They wound in and out
of the streets toward the country to
the crack OF the whip and the blare
OF the horn. Florence's enjoyment
would have been perfect had it not
been for the absence of Norton. Why
hadn't he been invited? She did not
ask because she did not care to dis
close to the countess her interest in
the reporter. They were nearing the
limits OF the city, when the coach was
forced to take sharp turn to avoid
an automobile in trouble. The man
puttering at the engine raised his
head. 1t was Norton, and Florence
waved her hand vigorously.
"a coaching party" he murmured;
land your Uncle James was not in
vited! o. very well!" He laughed,
and suddenly grew serious 1t would
not hurt to find out where that coach
was going.
He set to work savagely, located
the trouble, righted it, and set off for
the Hargreave home. He found Susan
and hombarded Ter with. questions
which to Susan came with the rapidity
of rain upon the roof.
$50 Jones went along?"
I'm HIS capacity OF butler only"
Norton smiled Well, I'll take a
jaunt out there myself. You are sure
OF the location?"
Yes"
We'll, good-by. I'll go as waiter,
since they wouldn't invite me. I'm
one of the best little walters you ever
heard Of; and all things come to him
who waits"
What pleasant, affable young man
he was! thought Susan as she watched
him jump into the car and go flying
up the street.
Jones was a good deal surprised
when Norton turned up at the old
Chiffon manor.

According TO Report Made by
Chief State Road Engineer
to the Governor.


CHARLESTON. Aug. 12-That
working the prisoners on the high
ways is not only beneficial to the
prisoners but also profitable to the
state and county in the way of Sc
curing improved roads at lower
cost than they can otherwise be
built, and thus improving the value
of property situate along improved
highways, is shown by report made
by A. Dennis Williams, chief road
engineer, to Governor H. D. Hatfield.
Chief Engineer Williams's report
covers in detail the amount of work
done by thirty prisoners taken from
the penitentiary on June s last and
installed in camp at st. Mary's,
peasants county. The report COW
ers an aggregate of 436 1-2 days dur
ing which time they graded $500
feet in distance, removing $3.50 GU
bic yards of solid and loose rock, at
a cost of 80 cents per cubic yard. The
total cost to the county for this 436
10 days was $567.00. of which the
county paid the state S327.38 for the
prisoners. and $2S9.62 was paid for
teams. explosives and other Incl
dentals. This shows that Ut
cost 20 cents per, cubic yard.
of which 10 ga cents went
to prison labor and II IA cents
to teams, explosives and other Incl
identals. included in the latter item
was the expense of an engineer, G..
M. Harbert, furnished by the road
engineer. These thirty prisoners are
guarded by but two men. In fact.
they are scarcely guarded at all.
The men are given five days credit on
their time in addition to other time
for good behavior, and know that If
they violate the conditions they will
not only loose the time they have
earned on the roads but will also
lose any other credits, and will have
to remain behind the prison walls
until the full time is served.
Mr.. Williams also compiled a state
ment showing the difference in cost
between the road referred to under
prison labor and what it cost in
Peasants county by citizen labor.
Total cubic yards moved by citizen
labor, 1850; cost of citizen labor,
S2.4iS.12; cost per cubic yard, s3
cents, as compared with 80 cents for
