But the Political Complexion Of
Congress Causes 1t to Be
ReIegated by House.

tsrEeiAL Ihe IEtEoRAh,
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The ag-
itation in the cause of good roads, a
matter not only of state wide, but of
national Importance, still continues.
The Senate committee on post-roads
has passed with its recommendation
this week a substitute for the Shack
elford bill which had already been
passed upon favorably in the House,
the bill of Senator Bryan, which is
designed to provide federal aid to
good roads and to utilize the credit
of the United States in raising road
construction funds. It will be re-
membered that shortly after the
Shackelford bill was submitted, 1t
was followed by number Of bills,
along the same lines, submitted by
several representatives.
Among others was the bill Of Rep
resentative Moss, OF West Virginia,
and there were not lacking those.
who still maintai nthat the bill of
the young congressman was super
ior, in many ways, to the Shackel-
ford document. The latter has been
criticized by those who are in a po-
sition to know whereof they speak,
as a very loosely constructed docu-
ment. and one that provides many
loop-holes for graft.
The bill approved by the commit
tee on post-roads and postofices,
provides that the federal govern
ment issue 50-year per cent bonds.
to the amount Of $500, 100000 in
lots Of $10O,000,000 each for five
years. States could participate in
the use Of the bonds by issuing per
cent bonds, which, when deposited in
the treasury, would be exchanged for
cash.
The one per cent difference in In
terest between the federal and state
bonds would be held in a sinking
fund. with which to aid the states in
retiring the bonds.
Under the terms there would be
created state highway commission.
to have an advisory voice in the ex-
penditure OF the highway fund In the
several states.
1t was announced by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture this week that
$206. .000, 900 was spent last year on
public roads in the United States.
In 1904 the total was $7s. 900. 600,
carrying with it an increase of over
$50 per cent in nine years.
This awakening on the part of the
country to the Importance Of good
roads, 1t is said. is largely due to the
influence Of the different states In
their aid to local communities. The
Department of Agriculture has re.
viewed the conditions exhaustively.
From the material It has gath
cred It has been proved that not only
are good roads a profitable invest
ment. but 1t is in position to
state Just what the dividends from
road improvement really are.

ROOSEVELT rs FRIEND
COMING TO THE CITY
To Make An Address at the Re-
publican County Conven-
tion Friday, July 80.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22-
Col. Edward G. Darlington, of Mary
land, Republican candidate for senator
from that state, has accepted an In
yitation to address the Republican
Clarksburg on Thursday. July 80.
Col. Carrington is an intimate friend
Of Col. Roosevelt and was the first
member from Maryland of the Pro-
gressive national committee, having
followed the former president into the
new party in 1912. But after the cleo
ton Of 1912 Col. Darlington reached
the conclusion that the things for
which the Progressives were
fighting could be accomplished
through the Republican party better
than by means Of a third party, and
returned to Republicanism. He Is pro-
gressive in every sense Of the word,
an ardent follower OF Col Roosevelt
yet, except that they differ as to the
best means to accomplish the same
end, and a believer in the ultimate
triumph of Progressive principles
through the success Of the Republi-
can party. He Is expected to tell the
Republicans OF Harrison county why
he left the Progressive party and why
he believes the reforms which the Pro-
gressives seek can be brought about
better through the old Republican
party than through the Progressive
organization. He is an eloquent
speaker and stands high in the state
OF Maryland. which, II indications
mean anything, is about to send him
to Washington as United States SEN
ator.

inson cut his throat with steel
shank, which he had removed from, one
of his shoes.
Since the opening OF the trial he had
been confined at night In room Of

on June 10.
The officer was attempting the ar
arrest at the request Of the Michigan
authorities, Robinson being wanted In
Grand Rapids for the alleged killing
OF three clerks in jewe1ry store dur
ing a robbery. Robinson was placed
on trial Monday and, taking Of testi-
mony was to have been begun today.
Several witnesses from Michigan
and Ohio were on hand to testify for
the government and Judge Keating
had before him a motion Of the de-
Tense to compel the prosecutor to fur

of their testimony. The district at
torney opposed the motion and said
that these witnesses had been called
to describe a situation existing IN
Grand Rapids, which would show q
motive on the part Of Robinson in re-

that is tributary to any main road.
The next step is an accurate estima-
tion Of the total products of this ter
ritory. OF this quantity, a certain
proportion is consumed on the farm,
the rest is shipped over the road in
question. The whole calculation
can then be checked by investiga-
tors at the shipping points to which
the road leads.
In general 1t has been found that
the two methods yield much the
same information--the whole amount
of produce hauled over the road.
Next the length Of the average
haul is calculated, the size Of the
load permitted by the contractor OF
the road is ascertained, and the cost
of teams and drivers figured.
With these facts before him, the In
yestigator is now able to state posi-
lively the cost of hauling traffic on
the road, and the necessity of any i'm.
provement thereon.
Owing to the provision of this new
law there are only 21 states whose
constitutional laws do not prevent
ttem from issuing bonds for high
way purposes. Whether the repre-.
sentatives Of the states that will be
debarred from participating because
Of their constitutional prohibitions
win oppose the general plan is NOT
known.
Friends Of the measure point Out
that the actual cost to the Federal
government will be neglib,e under
this measure, and that, although its
credit is used, the state bonds held
in trust by the government and draw.
ing interest, are ample surety that
the burden will fall only on the
states benefited.

PRESIDEN7NS. TABOO
FAILS IN PURPOSE
AS the Woman Suffrage Move
nent Goes, Merrily on with
More Determination.
fCharles Brooks Smith. ]


WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 22-
Have youth and beauty failed to see
the Importance Of allying themselves
with the interests of the suffragists
of the nation?" This is the question
that the boasted 5000 federated club
women of Washington are asking
during the days of scury and hurry
in the effort to enlist fifty classified
beauties In their campaign for 1,00U
new members IN July.
Washington has committed itself
as have all the states through their
representatives to the Chicago con-
vention, to the cause of suffrage fol
women. The delegates came home
fired with enthusiasm. Mrs. Ellis
Lagon, champion boycotter OF the
high price Of eggs, and leading abb
stainer from the joys Of choice sir
loin when the beef trust raises the
price, hardly alighted from the train
before she announced to the expect
ant reporters that the war was on.
First Of all there was to be a SO
cial gathering-in Of all the club
women Of the district. These. with
the wives Of the members Of the SEN
ate and Of the House are, goodly
showing when Congress is in session.
BY reason Of its cosmopolitan nature,
Washington was to be the center OF
the universe so far as the suffrage
cause was concerned. Here was tc
be held the ultimate tribunal where
the cause of down-trodden women
could be submitted to the federated
club women, and through them to
the senator or representative Of the
particular state or territory, in which
the rights Of women were held in
subsection.
The first damepener to the enthu-
siasm Of these defenders of feminine
rights, was the rather chilly response
from the president when the ''mile
of women" marched on the White
House armed with the resolutions OF
the Chicago biennial convention,
Strange to say, the president refused
representing over a million women.
to be terrified by the accum power of
so many women, who while not pos
sessing the power Of the ballot. are
really more powerful than even they,

But Government Announces
That Documents Turned over
Are Pretended Copies.
SENSATIONAL ARTICLES
Published in Newspaper De-
claring Murdered Editor Was
in Intrigue with Germans.
tsv Asse.,Arse ...ss,

PARIS. July 22.-Politics was the
predominating factor today In .connec.
ton with the trial OF Nine. CaillauS
for the murder of CASTOR Calmette
editor Of the Figaro. The French gov
Iernment was understood to be greatly
concerned in regard to the diplomatic
documents mentioned at yesterdays
hearing as having been in possession
Of Calmette. These documents, It was
stated, were later handed over Ia
President Poincaire.
While the court was assembling
newsboys were shouting around the
entrances to the Palace Of Justice an
extra edition of LIE Bonnet Rouge, one
of.the journals in sympathy with Nine
Caillaux, which contained page
article denouncing the murdered edi-
tor. 1t affirmed that he had been In
the pay OF German interests and had
been engaged in political and financial
intrigues by means OF which he was
able to leave s2,600,000. The news
paper admitted that he had received
two legacies, one for $500, 900 and an
other of smaller amount.
The moment after the court had
come to order the procurator general
rose and said 81 am authorized by the
government to declare that the docu-
ments referred to in yesterdays tes-
timony are only pretended copies ot
documents which do not exist"
Maitre Labori: I'VE consider the
incident closed"
Charles Chenu, the lawyer repre-
senting the interests OF the Figaro
then said sarcastically, II regard the
incident as only an enjoyable diver
sion. 1t has pleased NJ. Caillaux to
transform criminal trial into a po-
litica1 one. He intends to go from here
with certificate Of loyalty to France
Much good twill do him"
Georges Prestat, a brother-in-law
of the murdered editor and chairman
of the Figaro company, was then
called to the stand and emphatically
denied that the Figaro had been In
the pay Of foreign banks. While he
was testifying NJ. Caillaux came from
his seat among the witnesses and
stood closer to the bar in order te
hear better.
Maitre Chenu, commenting on NJ
Prestat's testimony, said 81 will au.,
that 1t does moi. become NJ. Caillau,
toicome here and endeavorto soil the
grave which his wife made" Thet
followed an exciting scene. Many ol
those in court rose and shouted
Bravo" while others hissed and
murmured until Judge Albanel wa.
obliged to call the court to order witt
a severe reprimand. NJ. Caillaux In
a state Of extreme agitation exclaim.
ed "Since l must take notice Of what
this lawyer has said I will ask him II
he will take personal responsibility
for his words" Another sensation
was caused among the spectators b,
this explanation and loud "Bravos'
for NJ. Caillaux were heard. When
the noise had somewhat subsider
Maitre Chenu replied II take the en-.
tire responsibility. You cannot men
+ece me here. You doubtless do mo-
know the temper of the man whom
you address," The disorder was SC
great that Judge Albanel threatened
to clear the chamber II the nantes
tations were repeated.
