HIGHWAYS APPEAR
ON LUNCHEON MENU
Republican Club Discusses
Idea of Federal Aid in
Road Construction.
TALK is CENTRED
ABOUT BOURNE PLAN
w. n. Truesdale in Letter Opposes
Ex-Senator's Shareholders
Give Approval.

The Republican club. In its first Satur-
day luncheon discussion OF the season,
took up yesterday the question of federal
aid in the construction OF highways. The
talk centred about the plan formulated
by Jonathan Bourne. jr former Senator
from Oregon and chairman OF the Joint
Committee on Federal Aid IN the Con-
struction OF Post Roads. incidentally
John n. Carlisle. State Highway Commits
sioner. described the highway situation
I'm this state and promised the completion
OF a splendid system of state roads by
January, 1915.
Commissioner Carlisles reference TO the
scandals in the Highway Department was
of a general nature. II am only in
hopes" he said. that some time out of
all this mess OF investigation we shall
have an intelligent study of road condi-
tons in New York
The scandals arose. he considered, out
OF a defect OF the, law, since remedied
which permitted the expenditure Of enor-
nous amounts Of money with no power
OF audit. This and other defects i'm the
highway law ne was instrumental, as
chairman of the committee of inquiry. in
having removed. and he thought he could
promise that nothing had occurred in the
department since he took charge of 1t
last May TO cause the citizens of the state
TO blush
IF the men We have got now In the de-
partment can't build good roads, he
went on, "the problem is like your police
problem In this city practically insoluble.
Beginning January, 1915, | think we can
offer To automobile tourists the finest
system II public roads TO be found in
the world"
Senator BE mes plan provides, briefly.
that the federal government issue per
cent ffty-year bonds up to a billion dol
lars and let the states have the money
for highway construction on the security
Of their ffty-year per cent bonds. the
per cent difference accommodating as a
sinking fund to redeem the principal at
the end Of the stipulated period. For
maintenance he would have the United
States government pay annually to the
states per cent Of the construction fund
allotted TO them. provided the state obli-
gated itself to spend a like amount for
the same purpose.
Then he would establish at Washing
ton a national academy of highway and
bridge engineering, corresponding i'm this
field to West Point and Annapolis, to pro-
vide the country with engineers compe-
tent 70 maintain the comprehensive and
costly system of roads gridironing the
country as a result Of the bond issue.
He hoped by these and other provisions
to escape the pork barrel features Incl
dent 10 the dispensation OF federal gratui-
ties and 10 provide for permanent inn
provement to show for tlfe enormous ex-
pendture OF money weside which, as
Commissioner f. A. Stevens, of the New
Jersey Department Of Public Roads
pointed out. that for the Panama Canal
or for any other single engineering ac-
complishment sank into insignificance.

Boundary Settlement.

nlaces other considerations above none
tarv indemnity i'm the settlement or the
long standing controversy with the United
States over the separation OF Panama
from the South American country was
asserted to-day by Julio Betancourt, the
Colombian Minister in Washington.
In the treaty OF settlement that is being
negotiated. but which has not finally
been agreed TO, Minister Betancourt de-
clared financial recOmpense for the loss
of Panama was held by his government
secondary TO stipulations which deal with
the recognition of the Colombian law fix
ing the boundary between that country
and Panama and the right Of Colombia
TO have the same rights to use the Pan
anna Canal as the United States. Until
the details Of these two questions are
finally agreed TO- 1t was stated, the
amount of money to be paid TO Colombia
by this government would not be de-
termined. although S2O,0O0oco has been re-
ported as the approximate amount. An
other report has fixed the indemnity at
81 900. 600.
AS for the supposed 100000 as the
salient feature Of the agreement SAID
Minister Betancourt the legation wants
IL known that in the settlement Of so
serious a matter Colombia considers the
amount of money of secondary value. The
satisfaction involves higher considerations
more valuable than mere dollars. The
negotiations are being carried on in a
very friendly way at Bogota and not at
Washington. but pending the absence
from Colombia of American Minister
Thompson, it is too early to talk OF a
final settlement"
Colombia feels. it is said. that the grant
ing to her Of the right TO use the canal
on the same terms as the United States,
lust as if the canal were still in Colon
bian territory, is a practical recognition
20 the nations Of the world that this coun-
try thus repays an inherent right which
the South American country has in the
canal as would have been the case II
Panama had never revolted.

attack on the acts Of Judge smith Nc
Jhetson. OF the federal district court, In
the Missouri railroad rate cases was made
to-day by John r. Barker. Attorney Gen
eral Of Missouri. at a hearing conducted
by Judge Mcpherson preparatory to enter
ing p final decree dismissing the cases in
accordance with a recent decision OF the
United states Supreme Court. holding the
state rate laws constitutional.
Attorney General Barker demanded that
Judge Mcpherson dismiss the injunctions
dissolved by the United States Supreme
Court decision AZ once. without further
argument or delay" and announced that
If tho Judge did not do this the state
would go to the United States Supreme
Court and "btain an order he would
obey"
you cannot continue 20 police this
state for the railroads go shouted Mr..
Barker. you cannot always act TO save
them from hurt /"
The Attorney Generals attack followed
;he fling Of a supplemental bill in the
case by the railroad lawyers asking Judge
Mcpherson 70 enjon the Attorney General
from prosecuting suits brought In state
courts against the railroads to collect
millions of dollars in alleged excess
charges made while the rate laws were In
litigation.
why are the railroads afraid OF the
state courts" asked the Attorney Gen
eral why do they always seek this
court when they are in trouble? I want
10 know the reason. The people Of Mis-
souri, want 10 know.
Il did not come here to-day TO argue
this matter again. / came here 10 see
that you filed the decree that you wrote
and ordered last month, and 1 see no need
ct argument now. II seems TO me that
all there IS to this case is for you to enter
the DEGREES you already have written and
which the United States Supreme Court
directed you TO enter"
Judge Mcpherson listened to the attack
in silence. At the end of it he said:
In my thirteen and one-half years
on the federal bench l have never been
influenced by any one or anything ex-
cept my conscience. While I would like
the good opinion of all men. prefer the
opinion of my own conscience. | shall
not be swerved from the dictates Of my
conscience by any bouquets or by any
brckbats"
Judge Mcpherson later enjoned the At
torney General from proceeding in state
courts with suits for S2LW9e) over
charges against Missouri pads, and
took the Missouri railroad rate case un-
dor f,,r.bar odx-icaroanf for three weeks
Mr.. Barker said he did not know
