GOOD ROADS
CONGRESS- WILL SOON MEET IN
MILWAUKEE TO Or
CAME.

Milwaukee, May 21.-The North
western road congress, organized for
the purpose of bringing together the
road experts of Illinois, Michigan,
Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Wisconsin, will
serve a purpose that has been mani
testify required throughout the north
western states since the good road
movement became more than a mere
subject of discussion.
A comprehensive scheme of inter
state highways, 1t is said, will be one
of the matters that the Northwestern
road congress will determine for the
road builders OF the participating
states. With this portion of the york
mapped out for congress, there is I'M
expected interest displayed by those
having in charge the Sheridan road,
from Chicago to Milwaukee; the
Lake to River road, from Milwaukee
to the Mississippi river; the Lincoln
highway, the Red Ball route, between
st. Paul to st. Louis; the Fox River
Valley route, from Milwaukee to
points in the Michigan peninsula,
which will later connect with the
Around-Lake-Michigan highway, and
the Chicago to Detroit road.
The executive committee of the
congress will meet in Milwaukee
shortly for the purpose of arranging
a plan of representation from the
states involved in the congress. One
plan suggested is the appointment of
five delegates from each county and
a delegation at large to be appointed
in each state by the governor. Rep
resentation will also be given to au-
tomobile associations, good roads as
%sociations and various commercial
organizations in the territory affected
by the congress.
The congress will meet in Milwau-
kee October %, 30, 80 and 81, and
will bring together the highway com.
missions of the participating states,
members of the legislatures, good
roads associations, automobile asso-
Citations, boards of public works,
Icounty highway commissions and
thousands of road contractors, civil
engineers and good roads machinery
manufacturers.

Ruins Winter Wheat Crop In Por-
tions of Nebraska.

Stella, Neb., May 21.-Reports
come from the south part OF Richard
son county, near Salem, that the Hes
sian fly has made it's appearance and
is doing considerable damage. On a
drive between Verdon and Salem it is
noticed that much wheat is damaged
by this pest. Some farmers will
pillow up their wheat and replant the
ground to corn. The wheat planted
in October seems to be less infected
than earlier planting. and 1T is be-
lieved that seed planted on new
ground is not SO much in danger as
that planted on old wheat ground.
When affected, the wheat turns a
notified color, finally turning brown,
The pest starts near the roots, where
eggs resembling grasshopper eggs
are found on the inside of the stalks.
AS the eggs grow they split the stalk,
killing it.

RULED OUT BY THE COURT
"Dago Franks" Confession Not Read
at Becker Trial.

New York, May 2l.-The confession
that Dago Frank Cirofci made al
hour before he went to the electric
chair at Sing Sing will not help

his innocence of the murder of Her
mar Rosenthal, for which Cirofici ana
his three companions already have
paid the penalty.
The supreme court, before which
Becker is on trial for the second time,
refused TO admit testimony dealing
With this confession.

heard the name of Becker mentioned.
Becker's face fell when he heard the
ruling.
The court held that evidence per-
tanning to the confession was not ad-
Missile because ii was an incident
that occurred after the murder.

CATCHING MEN
How An Illinois Woman Profited Ii,
Letter Writing.

Bloomington, Ill, May 21.-An ex-
traordinary confession, telling how
she made her matrimonial bureau
pay dividends has been written by
Mrs. Ema r. Burkett, now nearing
the end of her two months sentence
in the Vermillion county Jail for con
Quoting a swindling game by means
of fake" advertisements in which
she represented herself as seeking a
husband.
Mrs. Burkett, who was a promi-
.nent church worker and who always
bore the best of regulations, has been
compelled to support herself and
children for many years and found
the problem a difficult one. Noticing
an lad" in a matrimonial paper one
day in which a young woman sought
a husband, she was struck by the
thought that perhaps she could pick
up some money in that manner
She finally determined to write to
the men who advertised for a wife,
and sent out sixty-eight letters. In
a few days the replies began to come
in, all sections of the country being
represented. All of them wanted q
photograph and further description.
Mrs. Burkett complied, the photo
graphs she sen being those of act
resses which she had cut out from
magazines and mounted upon card
board. The work was so cleverly
done that the pictures looked like
real photographs.
one youth, signing himself James
Atkinson wrote as follows: Il like
the businesslike way you wrote. No
lovesick girls for me. l want to cor
respond with an educated northern
lady who can tell me something
about the ways of northern people.
| expect to travel through the middle
states next year and / want to know
something about the habits and dis
position of the people," He enclosed
a check for $25, and Mrs. Burkett
closed the correspondence. Another
man in Florida said that he earned
$75 to 500 a week catching alli-
gators, wrote many letters to Mrs.
Burkett and asked her If she would
be willing to join him in the bust
ness. He also asked her if she need
ed any money. She replied that she
did and he sent her three $40 bills.
She did not answer him.

REDS SIGN cU5ANS.
Herzos Signed Gonzales, Who Hit for
 1888 in New York League.

Marsans, the Cuban, who used to pole out home runs in the old Con- necticut league, is proving a big help to Manager Herzog of the Reds these days.
 Tom Clarke and Grover Hartley, the Reds best catchers, have refused to sign contracts unless they receive substantial increases in salary. Mean while Manager Herzog thinks he has two able substitute backStops in Mi- gue1 Angel Gonzales, a Cuban, and Von Kolnitz, a lawyer, who caught under the name of Holmes in the Ap paIachian league last year. Gonzales is white. six feet tall and is 20 years of age. George Stallings signed him for the Boston Braves a year ago. but let him out because he couldn't speak a word of English. Gonzales went to the Long Branch club, where he hit 3S8 !n the New York and New Jersey league, and was a sensation behind the bat. At the end of the season he went to Havana and has been playing ball all winter. Armando Marsans the Reds Cuban outfelder, induced Her ZOE to sign Gonzales. who. it is said, has picked up enough English to make himself understood. Marsans says that the big catcher is one of the greatest throWers he has ever seen and that he will quickly make good in fast company. Herzog will try out nine pitchers secured by draft or purchase from minor league clubs. They are Rowan, Barham, Douglass, Ingersoll

FEDS RAISE SALARIES.
Players Will Draw s15o,oco More Next
 Season Than Last.

The Federal league invasion has cost the major league pretty penny Tn salary increases. The players of the Is major league clubs will draw about $15O, coo more next season than was drawn last year. The salary list of the Brooklyn club is s4e.O0O higher than 1t was a year ago. This estimate, however, includes the $7,500 salary the club is willing to pay Tinker and his S10,000 bonus. which is s15,o0O more than poor Bob Fisher drew in Brook iyn last season.
 The Philadelphia Nationals also had to come across with S25, 900 more than they paid out last season
 Cravath. killifer, Becker, Byrne and Devore all got away with big increases. Devore and Becker are getting much bigger money than they drew in New York. Byrne was a high priced player in Pittsburgh. but the Phillies reduced his pay. Robbie held out however, and is now getting more than he re- ceived in Pittsburgh, according to re- ports.

NEW YORK WANTS EvERs.
Chance Tells Why He Stayed with
 Cubs and He Is After EVers.

Frank Chance. realizing how people criticised him for leaving the Cubs, makes a statement to explain his leaving.
 some people thought I was crazy when I threw up my place and sold the stock I owned in the Chicago club, but I am sure they do not think so now.
 T was able to continue with the Cubs as long as did because l had a side contract, apart from my contract as a player, to manage the team, and by the terms of this contract, Murphy had no control whatever over the team He could not have come in the club house without my consent under the terms of the manager contract.
 'sEyers,'' Chance went on, was real ly deposed last autumn when Murphy announced before he went to Europe that Johnny would no longer have any power to buy, sell or trade players: That reduced Evers to the position ot the field captain.
 "Of course New York wants Evers: don't care what the president of the Chicago Federals says about pay ing $5,0O0 more than the best organ tzed baseball offer for him. We will pay more. don't care how much it iSe
