PROGRESS NOTED in AFGHANISTAN

lorries imported for this purpose has
failed owing to the bad condition OF the
road to Kabul, and IL is only by the
use OF elephants that the heavy and
bulky articles required can now reach
Kabul. Local labor. under the direction
of the American engineer and two we'll
qualified assistants. is being used on this
| work.
Wooden Mil Erected.
A large wooden mill is also being
erected in Kabul which it is intended to
operate with cheap electric power. II
has taken over five years merely to build
the walls. owing to lack OF local facilities
for such work and also the transport
difficulty. The machinery which is now
partly installed. has cost over $4,000.
while the freight charges for carrying the
same to Kabul have been nearly $4,000.
Three hospitals are also soon to be erect
ed. the foundations having already been
laid.
Among the factories and workshops
now operating at Kabul may be men,
toned the boot and shoe factory estab-
lished in 1906 chiefly for the manufacture
of shoes for the Afghan army. 1t is
capable of turning out 400 pairs of army
boots a day All the machinery for this
factory had to be dragged up to Kabul
on especially constructed carriages pulled
by elephants.
There is also a very fine ordnance fac
tory and arsenal at Kabul, which was
erected under the supervision of Euro
peans. The capacity is about twenty
five rifles a day and two large guns and
5000 rounds of ammunition a week.
Buildings at Kabul.
The mint with a possible output Of
1000 coins a day, the tanning yards.
the candle factory, where 10000 candles
can be turned out weekly, and the soap
works, where ten tons of soap can be
made in the same period, are all located
In buildings adjoining the ordnance COM
pound. The government also has at Ka-
bul several steam saw plants which do
good carved work for cabinets and chairs.
There are altogether three Woodworking
factories In Afghanistan. the largest be-
ing In Jellalabad. There are also gov
ernment workshops at Kabul for making
brassware. tinware. teapots, daggers, and
sword handler
The government factories and work.

object public education In mechanical
methods and appliances, and as a fea-
ture Of such work classes are organized

for their instruction in the art Of cut
ting. The Amir frequently offers prizes
OF considerable value for the bsDe e.

Much Construction Work in
the Country Is Being Car
ried On-Mills Operated
by Electric Plant.

Interesting evidence as to the awaken
ing Of the closed country of Afghanistan
to modern progressive ideals of civiliza-
ton is to be found in important con-
struction works now being carried out
under circumstances OF great difficulty,
especially those connected with costly
and difficult transport of machinery and
other material.
The most interesting development of
this sort Is a project now under way for
Transmitting 1900 volts OF electric energy
fIom a waterfall about 10 feet high to
Kabul. the capital, situated about forty
miles away. This development Is In
charge of an American engineer, A. c.
Jewett. who was more recently chief en-
gineer for the important hydro-electric
development in the state OF kashmir.
India.
This hydro-electric scheme will cost be-
tween $500, 600 and s6oo.o when it is COM
pleted, of which about $4,000 will be
spent for machinery and materials. The
water power obtained will be used for
distributing cheap electrical energy to
the gun factory. shoe factory, projected
wooden mill, and other industries at
Kabul under control of the government
of his majesty, the Amir, also for elec-
tric lighting of the royal palace, other

Consul Henry d. Baker, on special

the industriea Of Kabul, which are now
greatly handicapped by the excessive COST
Of fuel. There are no coal mines In the
country and wood is also very scarce;
for factories at Kabu. wood has to be

All Souls Hospital, of this town, to
take effect January first, has started

to professional jealousy. but no one
in authority will discuss the subject
1t is declared, however, that the
physicians demand a reorganization
of the hospital management and
want the Sisters of Charity to with
draw from the nursing and confine
themselves to the housekeeping at
the hospital and at least two trained
nurses engaged to care for the pa
tients.

Motor Thieves Get Madison
Mans S. G. V. Touring Car
special to the Evening star.

Special TO the Evening star.
MADISON, Nov. 80. Automobile
thieves succeeded early yesterday
morning in securing an automobile
belonging to Charles r. Hedden, of
Brooklake road, and getting away
with their booty. Mr.. Hedden's garage
was broken into, it being small mat
ter for thieves to force the door.
Information gained by the authori-
ties lead to the belief that the theft
took place about a. m. yesterday.
An Italian who lives in cottage on
the Hedden estate heard a car about
that time and he got the impression,
he said that one car was being toWed
by another Other residents or that
section heard a machine at that time
and also the tracks leading from the
garage seemed very fresh.
The automobile was a four-passen-
ger S. G.. V. model with Quimby body
and maroon colorings, striped with
black. 1t had leather top and on the
two rear doors the initials &c. r. III. "
were painted.
Chief of Police Fred r. Johnson. as
well az working on the case himself.
has taken the matter up with the
state Motor Vehicle Department. This
is the second time car theft that has
occurred here this year. The other
was a large Cadillac belonging to
George Wilder, of Loantaka Way. The
burglary occurred early in the sum-
mer but the thief was later caught
in Newark, turned over to the State
and the car returned to it's owner.

Released from One Jail,

special to the Evening Star.


NEWTON, Nov. 30.-After serving a
sentence of three months and twenty
two days in the Middlesex county jail
at New Brunswick, Oliver j. Rice,
who was convicted on August ID for
receiving money under false pretense
by selling and disappearing clover
seed to the farmers of Middlesex
county, was turned over to Sherlff
William D. Wilson, of Sussex county,
at New Brunswick. Wilson brought
Rice to Newton and confined him IN
the county Jail, where there are sew
eral charges against him for the same
offense.
Last December Rice made a canvas
of Sussex county and sold a number
of bushels of clover seed to the farm
ers at SO and $40 per bushel. The mar
ket price for pure clover seed
at that time was s14 and SIG per
bushel. Naturally when Rice came
along the farmers seeing such re-
duction in his prices over the market
jumped at his offer, not knowing that
clover seed which Rice claimed to be
pure contained to the bushel an adul-
Iteration of one-half to one-third Ger
man miIlet The discovery was made
by the farm bureau Of this county
The authorities of that county were
notified to hold Rice at the expiration
of his term of sentence, as there were
eight indictments against him In Sus-
sex county.
Rice will appear before Judge Allen
r. Shay today and waive trial by
Jury, asking the mercy of the court.
Much sympathy is felt for Rice as he

basketball game witnessed here this
season took place Saturday night on
the Y. NJ. c. A. court, when the
senior team of the association de-
feated the White House Club. of
Newark, in q closely contested game.
After the two halves were played, it
was found that the score was tied.
In the play-off the team securing two
points first would win. Madison
scored three tallies while the oppo-
nents scored none. The final score
was 80 to &c.
Parker and Conklin starred for the
locals, shooting fast and consistently.
Many long shots were made. The

shot exceedingly well, and exhibited
great team work. In the preliminary
game the sophomore team of the
High School trimmed the freshmen
by an Is to 8 score. This gives the
series TO the sophs by two games to
one.
