Hursts qualifications appealed pecul-

ahead Of Grover Cleveland" Under
these circumstance his confirmation has
been pressed by the White House and
the Postmaster General but without
success. chiefly because OF the deter

Kansas When Hurst ran for State

not elected. he polled more votes than

Representative Brown, OF West Nir-

GOES TO OVERSEE
S1O,OOO,00O GIFT
DR.. Adler Calls Manufacturers
Action Challenge to Other
Industrial Concerns"

Just 10 sort OF sec how the plan would
work" as he expressed II. Henry Ford
who is to distribute 100000 among the
employees Of his motor concern. lett the
city Yesterday 10 oversee the installation
in his Detroit factories OF his plan OF
profit sharing
II was a week Of unvelcomo attentions
which the automobile builder his wife and
son. spent i'm New York following the an
nouncement Of his scheme. Mr. Ford had
not rcckoned on the Juror it was 70
cause. Hes through now with his bust
ross i'm New York City. and although the
row plan he thinks would work "a we'll
n ewcre not there. he wishes TO he pres
ont when his brain child has its birth
day.
Mr. Ford had parting shot for wall
street" ia reply to its reported anger at
Lis announced intention.
Wall Street can't control the automo-
bile industry" he said. Most Of the au-
tomobile manufacturers under Wall
street are closed down in Detroit, because
the money they needed to use in their
business went elsewhere. Then they had
10 wait for the money market TO get i'm a
proper condition for them To borrow. I'm
rot under Wall street" he adder
srmly.
The builder Of popular priced cars was
more interested in birds than in the opin-
ions i'm Wall Street about his sl0.coWO
gift When a reporter recalled that
wear ago he had brought into this country
$50 English songbirds, he was at once en-
thuSiastic.
Those birds are fine" ne said. Last
year had sen. TO this country some I'm
nets. thrushes. bulhnches English black
birds. skylarks and chafiinches. and turned
them all loose on my farm
The farm. incidentally. is country
place Of 800 acres outside Detroit. where
Mr.. Ford is now building his permanent
home.
The birds were turned loose on the
farm last April. All of them mated there
except the skylarks. and Burroughs told
me il was too late in the season for them
TO mate Those which mated, Burroughs
said. will return u their same nesting
places. so | expect them all back there
next spring OF course, most of them
have migrated now"
The same efficient system found In the
automobile plants is carried out for the
birds on the farm. There are 200 small
bird houses scattered throughout, and in
s6dition a number OF colony houses with
room for seventy-two families. just like
a New York apartment There Mr.. Ford
expects the purple martins TO gather. The
severity of the winters near Detroit
freezes the open water. and so for the
birds which have not migrated pals of
water have been arranged, with electric
heaters under them 10 keep the water
warm. There are also many automatic
feeders regulating the supply OF grain for
the birds.

100000 Paid in 1912.

More than 100000. was paid out in
construction work in 1912, and about one
third of this was stolen outright from the
state it was estimated last night by one
who has investigated the matter
The majority OF roads supposed TO be
four inches deep investigation IToved TO
be only two inches in depth. And in
more than 30 per cent of the roads the
materials called for in the specifica tions
were not used. On one road in Catta-
raugus County, on which final payment
was stopped by Hennessy. but where, as
I'm hundreds Of other cases, there has
been no prosecution. Hennessys engi-
neers kicked away the sub-base without
njuring their shoes.
Criminal prosecutions OF these graft
cases could be had not only without cost
10 the state, ii was pointed out. but with
considerable profit. AS an example the
Bart Dunn case was cited. where Hen
messy held up $1,000 which would pay
for the prosecution of the case twenty
times over Moreover. Dunn can be sued
for the full cost of the road, which is
now a wreck. This course could be fol-
lowed in all cases
In the case of the indictment of Will
lam IL. Whyard. of the Etna Construc-
ton Company, of Rockland County, in
dicted at the same time as Dunn, Whyard
had been paid in full for the fraudulent
road but Hennessy caused payment OF
two repair contracts due him TO be held
up, so the state will not have any trouble
| in saving its money.
In Warren County is what is called a
Joke road by contractors. Though con-
crete was called for in the specifications
the road is bpilt almost entirely of native
sand. Final payment on this road has
been stopped through Hennessy's efforts
bat the question that is agitating those
