RODGERS' JUDGEMENT WAS BORNE OUT BY RAILROAD VENTURE Value of Tidewater Line Has Been Demonstrated Since
 Builders Death NET VALUE OF HIS
 ESTATE $41, 100000 James Everard Not First Man to Store Gold Coin in Vaults
 Without Realizing Any
 Interest
By HOLLAND

New York, July 2S.-(Special) l)-Immed- lately after the death of Henry H. Rogers five years ago. there were almost as many estimates of the value of his estate as there were persons who made esti- mates. Before MT Rogers ventured upon the work with which he was occupied in the last years of his life, then called the tidewater railroad, his friends thought that his wealth could be safely estimated at about s4oOOo, 900. Sometimes the fig ures were placed bit higher than that
 But this railroad venture was thought to have absorbed the greater part or ms fortune. Whether his estate would yield a considerable amount or whether II would be found to have shrunken depend ed upon the success sof the railroad ven turc.
 It was an undertaking in which MT. Rogers stood alone. Some of his closest financial and business associates were per suaded that he was making great mis- take. In banking circles the proposition Was not looked upon very favorably, and at the time MT. Rogers found it difficult to negotiate loans with which to pro- vide him with the much needed funds Even in railway circles the investment was looked upon as dubious, and it was thought to have been unwise on MT. Rog- CTS part to have built the railroad in such a costly manner as he did.
 He lived just long enough to take part in the ceremonies with which the comple- tion of the railroad were celebrated Therefore at the time of his death II was still an unfinished proposition so far as its earning capacity and business prac- tioatiiity were concerned
 Mir. Rogers had undertaken to do what at about the same time Norman B and the Blair company of New York had undertaken in the Clinchfield coal region. He was to open up to transportation a great area of coal lands which produced local of unusually fine quality. That also was the purpose of MT. Ream and those who were associated with him ii the Clinchfield development. Both be- lieved that the solution of the problem would be reached if railroad were con Ttructed following as nearly as possible an air line eliminating so far as the en- gneers could do it., grades and pro vided with tangents which reduced curves to the minimum. The rails were to bt of the best quality of steel, very heavy and he roadbed was to be constructed ac- cording to the highest scientific methods adopted by the railroad builders at this time.
 MT. Rogers figured--as MT. Ream had also done-that although the first cos' of railroad of this kind would be very L H.

CROP OUTLOOK FINE
 AROUND LAREL
Farmers Report Excellent Conditions as Result of Recent Abun-
 dant Rains

Laurel Miss. July 2S.-(Special. .)-Farm- CTS report excellent crop conditions in all sections of this, Jones county. The recent abundant rains have practically made the early corn crop certain and it is said that late corn Is looking bet ter than ever before at this season of the year.
 The long drouth did not injure the cot ton and was destruction to the boil weevil and these pests are said to be doing less damage than last year, and there are ex- cellent prospects for fair cotton crop. The weevl can yet do considerable dam- age to the crop through August, but the bottom crop is practically out of danger and the middle crop will begin to ma ture the latter part of August.
 Farmers in this section have never figured on a top crop of cotton to any extent Most farmers in this immediate section have made money this season out of watermelons and other truck and a large acreage has been planted to sweet potatoes, which can easily be converted into money during the fall and winter.
 Unless conditions change materially this is going to be one of the best crop years in the history of this section of the state.

ward organized bolt that is causing
Democratic leaders much concern, Tor
they fear it win cut down materially
the majority of that stronghold Of the
party.
Many Democrats claim the salisbury
leadership has failed to get any jobs for
the Tenth ward faithful. They point
out that their efforts to get Demo
cratic policeman from the Tenth ward
were turned down recently and charge
that Police Commissioner Stayton, who
is looked upon by them as being allied
with the Salisbury organization, failed
to have a Tenth ward man named but
picked the Democratic policemen from
other wards.
They also point out that the
Twelfth ward has been given many
fine jobs under the Salisbury ma
chine, and refer to the naming of Jo-
seph L. O'Toole at Washington, the
appointment of Postmaster James j.
English and the appointment of Po-

against the Tenth ward.

The Supreme Court at Washington
Yesterday afternoon dismissed the
suit to enioin the construction OF
the dupont boulevard tC cost a mil
lion dollars through Delaware, and
legal obstacles to the building of the
road are removed temporarily, at
least. The action of the Supreme
Court did not include decision as
to the constitutionality of the right
to condemn land and for the con-
struction of the boulevard, the suit
being dismissed because the appeal
taken by Jehu Clendaniel and others
attacking the right of the Coleman
dupont Road, Incorporated, to con-
demn a strip up to 200 feet wide for
the boulevard. was not prosecuted be-
fore the Supreme Court.
General DUPONT was in this city a
short time this morning, but made
no statement as to his future plans
as to whether or not he would re-
sumo construction of the State-iong
highway until after he consults his
attorney, Robert H. Richards, as 10
the scope of the Supreme Courts
actions.
After General dupont has begun
construction and surveys of the pro-
posed boulevard in Sussex and Kent
counties, Mr.. Clendaniel. who is now
dead, and some other farmers ques-
toned the right of the boulevard
corporation to take a strip through
his farm near Milford by cOndemna-
tion proceedings. The action was de-
Cided against him by Resident Judge
Henry c. Conrad. Of Sussex county,
and Clendaniel and others associated
with him took an appeal to the Su-
preme Court of Delaware. which de-
eide that the law authorizing con-
struction of the boulevard was valid
and that the right to condemn up to
zoo feet wide for boulevard purposes
was constitutional. Henry Ridgely
of Dover. and Caleb S. Layton. now
of this city, represented Clendaniel
and the other parties to the suit. and
they carried an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court attacking tho
right to condemn a strip up to 2O'
feet wide as unconstitutional ant
confscatOry.
After the appeal was taken, Mr.
Clendaniel- died. A few months az,
