Paris. Feb. 28.-A sword duel be-
tween Baron Robert lie Vavasseur and
Count DHeursel. fought in the suburb
of Leuilly. resulted in Baron LeVavas-
seur being wounded, one Of the arteries
Of his right arm being cut. The en-
counter is believed to have arisen out
Of the recent card scandal at the fash
ionable jockey club. where the baron
was alleged to have been guilty of
cheating.
At the preliminary meeting OF the
seconds of the principals. Raoul Mour-
ichon. the explorer. and Jacques Gall
laud. who were acting for Count
D'Huerschel. raised the question
whether the baron's honor had not been
already so affected that he was un-
worthy to fight. The baron's seconds
were General Avon and Georges BRETT
mayer. the latter Of whom is reputed to
be the most deadly as he is the most
notorious duelist in France.
Breittmayer declined to discuss the
question of LeVavassuer's honor. say
ing 1t was sufficient that General Avon
and he had consented to act as seconds
and they would therefore take full re-
sponsibility for the honor of their prin-
cipal.

Ames. Feb. 2s.-The state highway
commission has finished the Job OF taxi
Ing hnal action on the establishments
or the statewide system of roads by
fnaily designating tho county road
systems in every one Of the ninety-
nine counties From the final action Of
the commission there Is no appeal: tha
commission has said that the board.
or supervisors OF the counties must
consider certain roads the mair trnv.
eAed and otherwise main roads OF their
respective counties and the commits
sions decision Is what the Individual
boards will follow.
The commission believes that Il has
picked the best roads in the final desig-
nations. Final action was not taken
until committee, composed OF one
member OF the com mission and a field
engineer OF the commission, went over
tho different road routes where more
than one route was sought between
points and there was difference Of
opinion as 20 the best route; until the
board OF supervisors had been inter.
viewed. and any others Interested in
the designation heard before the
whole commission.
Some Changes Made.
Tho commissioner engineer commit
tee was not upheld in all cases, neces.
sarily. In some cases the suggestion
OF the commissioner and engineer was
deviated from after moro light had
been thrown on the objections tn des-
ignating a particular piece OF road. Il
was the big desire OF the commission
TO designate the road that would b ef
the greatest benefit to the most people.
In all but two Of the counties Of tAo
state there were protests ON tAe road
systems a. designated by the county
boards. but some Of the protests were
without much merit, because there
| were landowners who were believed 20
have protested against q road for The
eviden. main reason that they wanted
to he on the designated road.
The Brockway law provided that ie
was the duty OF the highway commits
state. Tho boards OF supervisors were
to designate the road systems In their
respective counties. IF there were OBJ
jections to the designations OF the
boards the nggrieved persons must file
objections with the board to get relief.
The highway commission had the duty
OF finally fixing the county systems.
and fixing them so that they hooked
up" the system OF one county with thnt
of the adjacent counties. In some CT
the counties protests were filed vary
ing in number from one to forty.
