Because d. F. Mallory.aa colored man

II Radcliffe Lee. assistant county at

D. F. Mallory revealed a case of not
high, but frenzied, finance to Fred
Robertson, United States district at

although he received only $50. he signed
. note for $50. but whether such was the
case or not is. Of small Importance.
The interesting fact revealed in this
financial transaction is told by q num-
Der Of Cancelled checks and a receipt
for cash paid, and also letter from
Martin, who Is now in Ration, N. M.
The Cancelled checks show that Mallory
has paid $44.S0 by check. He also has
q receipt showing that he paid s. in
been paid Martin by Mallory on an
original loan Of only $40.
But the letter shows that Martin
thinks Mallory still owes him the origi-
nal $40, and Mallory does not deny this.
That $3.50 which Mallory has paid, all
applied as interest. Martin is not salts
Aed. He wants Mallory to pay him $50
yet, and has placed the matter in the
hands Of Topeka lawyers for collection.
In Martins letter to Mallory he tells
Mallory he has not been charging him
an unusually high rate OF interest.
Here I can get fifteen cents a month
on every dollar loan. he writes NAL
lory from Ration. N. M.
Il still owe that $40. and yet feel like
/ had paid that man enough" Mallory
told the United States district attorney.
The case is not Of a kind to be handled
by Mr.. Robertson, as q federal officer.

number of undergraduates. California
runs close second with 145. Illinois
has los, while the rest are scattered

Grand Larceny.

William Frye, colored, who found q
been lost by George w. Stanton. real es-
tate dealer. was arrested and locked up
last night on the charge OF grand larceny.

stitutes the offense OF larceny, in the
opinion of the police. The question will
be determined in Police Court tomorrow.

floor of the hotel where he was en-
ployed as Waterman. Two colored detec-
tives, Beckley and Carroll. heard that

fore Stanton reported his loss. last Thurs
day.
Frye after finding the money went TO
Baltimore and had Rev. p. J. Jordan OF

thousand dollar bill for him. He later
drew $50 on account. leaving $3.50 In
bank
The Baltimore preacher brought the
$3.50 to this city yesterday afternoon Ia
was surrendered to the police. Frye made
up the difference with money he had In a
Washington bank. After the money was
turned over he was charged with theft.

recovered an antique amethyst and dia-
mond brooch that Frye said he found on

ROAD REPAIRS SHOULD
BE MADE WHEN NEEDED
Agricultural Department Bulletin
Gives Information on Earth
Thoroughfares.

That repairs to roads should De made
when needed and not once a year after
crops are laid by is the declaration
made by the roads experts OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture in their latest bulletin
on THE Construction of Earth Roads
"One days labor. judiciously distributed
throughout the year" says the bulletin,
will accomplish more and better work in
the maintenance of an earth road than
the same amount of labor expended in
six days. especially if those days are in
August. September or October, when the
ground is hard and dry.
LAS soils differ for agricultural pur-
poses. so they differ for roads. Clay or
soils of fine texture usually make poor
roads, especially il they contain much
however, which contain some sand or
gravel. will often make very satisfactory
roads for light traffic, provided they are
kept in proper repair"
In discussing methods of road repair,
these experts favor road machines over
picks, shovels, scoops and plows. ''One
road machine" they declare, with a
suitable power and operator. will do the
work of many men with picks and
shovels and do it better.
1.-THE road machine should be used when
the soil is damp, so as to make the soil
bake when 1t dries out. If 1t Is worked
dry. it takes more power to draw the
machine and, besides, dry earth and dust
retain moisture and quickly rut after
vegetable matter in building earth roads
should be avoided because they also re-
tain moisture
