Usually at nine o'clock they strolled
into the study and smoked one OF
Brood's cigars with the gusto OF real
guests. It was their habit to saunter
about the room, inspecting the treas
ures with critical, appraising eyes,
very much as II they had never seen
them before. They even handled some
of the familiar objects with an air OF
bewilderment that would have done
credit to a Cooks tourist. 1t was also
habit OF theirs to try the doors OF
large teakwood cabinet in one cor
ner of the room. The doors always
were locked. and they sighed with
patient doggedness. Some day, how
ever, Ranjab would forget to loci
those doors, and then

HIGHWAY WORK IS
To Be PUSHED ALONG
Governor Did Not Touch Very
Heavily Upon the ApprOpria-
tons For the State Roads

The Importance of highway condi-
tions in Pennsylvania is shown by the
fact that Governor Brumbaugh ap-
proved the appropriations made to the
State Highway Department almost In
full. AS passed by the Legislature,
ss,400,000 was appropriated to the
State Highway Department.; as ap-
proved by the Governor, the sum is
ss,3OO,OOO. He cut SlOO, 900 from the
Highway Department appropriation
bill by reducing the item appropriating
100000 for the payment of the eX-
penses, costs and awards in the pur-
chase or condemnation of turnpikes
forming part of the State Highway
routes, to s25O,OOO. The other s5O,-
600, he deducted from the 100000
appropriation for the purpose of re-
building, repair and maintenance of
the National, or Cumberland Road.
In the general appropriation bill the
sum set aside for engineers, clerks,
etc, was cut from S35S,S00 to $780,
900. The item for travelling expenses
for engineers, superintendents, pay
masters, etc. was cut from S120, 900 to
$4,000. The salaries and expense
item of the Automobile Division, which
includes the money paid for the pur-
chase of automobile tags and plates.
was cut from 100000 to $4,000 and
the item for completing the surveys
and plotting of county and township
roads was cut from $4,000 to s40,-

Grandfather Clause"
Held Unconstitutional
.Shect7, TO The Telegraph

Washington, d. c., June 22-The
Oklahoma constitutional grandfather
clause" restricting the negro vote and
the grandfather clause in the An
napolis (Md.) election statute were an
nulled as unconstitutional yesterday
by the Supreme Court. Chief Justice
White, 70 rthe Court, held that the
Oklahoma statute was a violation of
the Fifteenth amendment to select an
arbitrary date, such as 1866. in fixing
the qualification of voters. In the An
napolis case property and other tests
for voters enacted by the Maryland
Legislature for Annapolic, in the same
act in which the grandfather clause"
was inserted, was held to be so close
ly related to the grandfather clause"
as to hake all the qualifications fall.
