Two Years Ago.

Somerville. N. J., Jan. 16.-Paul
Carl is in Jail here in connection with
the mysterious shooting more than
two years ago Of Monroe r. Ellis,

cording to announcement made by a
private detective agency this after
noon that he had shot Ellis with in
tent to kill, at the bidding Of a wom-
an. whose name is withheld. Ellis has
now completely recovered from his
wounds.
A statement issued by the agency
reviews the details Of the shooting and
adds:

was living with his mother at East
Strcudsburg, Pa. Carl told this
operative that in the summer Of 1911,
while he was working in Jersey City.
he met q certain woman by appoint
ment and she asked him to hire some
body to kill Ellis. saying that she
would pay $500 to have this done.
Being very much attached to this
woman, he consented to get q man for
this purpose. Failing to hire others,
Carl decided to do the job himself. On
the evening of November 20, he went
to Ellis's home and saw Ellis at the
table in the dining room. with his fam
teen feet from the window he fired q
charge Of buckshot and fled.
ION the woman's advice, Carl later
came to Bernardsville and got en-
ployment in the Conklin' Lumber COM
pany of which Ellis was the head, thus
to divert suspicion. Then the strain
proved too great and he left. For the
shooting the prisoner admits having
received $500. The woman in the case

The commission consists OF Herr

eign Office: r. Saran, superior privy
councillor of buildings and construc.
tions attached to the department c,

improved, while in the latter group OF
states there are only 1ia per cent Of
the roads improved.
That improved roads would benefit
our country school system there would
seem to be no doubt Improved roads
make il possible to consolidate or GEN.
traliZe the schools and to establish
graded schools In the rural districts.
Such schools centrally located will ac-
commodate all of the children within a
radius of from four to five miles. In
many communities having the advan.
tage of improved roads commodious
buildings have been provided. more
competent teachers have been EN-.
ployed, and modern facilities for teach
ing have been supplied at a minimum
cost. For instance, since the improve.
mcnt of the main highways in Durham
county, North Carolina, the number OF
school houses has been reduced from
65 to AZ. of which IL are graded and
have two or more rooms and employ
two or mere teachers.
There are at the present time about
two thousand consolidated rural
schools in the United States. 1t ap-
pears that Massachusetts,, Ohio and
Indiana have made the greatest prog.
ress along these lines, and 1t is rather
significant TO note that in these states
about one-third Of the roads have been
improved. According to statistics OF
tho agricultural department there was
expended in 1899, S221i6 in Massachc-
sets for the conveyance of pupils to
consolidated schools, but in 1908 the
expenditure for this purpose amounted
TO S292,213. In Indiana the expendi-
ture for this purpose in 1904 amounted
tc $4,000, while in 1908. $4,000 was
expended. This expenditure for trans
portation reflects, in general way.
the extent and progress of this new
educational movement. 1t must not be
understood that this is an additional
burden, as the expenditure thus made
is saved In other directions.

BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROAD
Among Many Other Things II Attracts
Investors Looking for Ndvan-
tageous Locations.

A long stretch of improved road Is
one of the best advertisements a state
can have. 1t attracts a class OF tour
lists who are able and willing to pay
for entertainment. 1t brings investors
who are looking for advantageous To-
cations. II includes agricultural inves-
tigation and consequent immigration
and investment. not only along the line
of the road, but in other accessible
sections. II changes, by the sheer
force of publicity, backward localities
into progressive ones; enhances val
ues. and brings into general notice re-
sources which had only been known
locally; or, If known, not appreciated.
The advantages which such stretches
Of main roads cause TO accrue are ad-
vantages which affect the entire state,
as well as the localities themselves.
II should, therefore, be assumed as n
principle that such main roads should
be built, in whole or In part, by the
gtate: that their management and
maintenance should be In the hands
