OPPOSITION GROWING
TO new HIGHWAY LAW
Insurgeat Body Seeking to Re
store Road Authority to
Former System.

Des Moines. Ia. Feb. 22.-There is a
noticeable weakening among those who
thought, a few weeks Ago., that no re-
peal could be effected of the law which
created a state highway commission 1t
is found hat a great many members
Of the legislature feel that they were
chosen particularly on the platform OF
opposition to the new highway law and
there is a strong probability that the
repeal measure may secure a majority
support in the house. The highway
commission is marshaling all of its
forces against the repeal proposition
and thinks it can defeat the measure
in the senate even if it passes the
house.
Many members are objecting to the
amount of state money expended by
the commission in doing missionary
work for the law, having no reference
to actual improvement work. Johnston,
Of Lucas, is author of the repeal meas
ure. 1t provides for the repeal of every
section of the law, abolishes the high
way commission and would enact a law
as a substitute which would place the
roads Of the state just where they were
two years ago, in the hands Of the
county and township supervisors. The
state highway engineer Is shorn Of his
power. except in ar advisory capacity.

Colo, today stated tina the band Of
Piute Indians under Tse-Ne-Gat, which
fought a desperate battle yesterday
with a posse commanded by q. S. Mar
shall Aquila Nebeker, had been sur
rounded in Cottonwood Gulch, near
Bluff. Leaders of the reinforced posse
expected to renew the attack unless the
Indians surrendered.
The telephone line from Grayson to
Bluff has been out of commission much
of the time since early last evening
and details of the situation are difficult
to obtain. AS nearly as could be learned
at Grayson. however, the whites have
been reinforced by bands Of armed
men, flocking from the nearby settle
ments and ranches. 1t was stated that
the posse, originally outnumbered by So
to 26, today was stronger than the
band of Indians.
Two Bands Unite.
Il was believed hat both the original
party of redskins with Tse-Ne-Gat and
the detachment known as Posey's band,
which came to the relief of Tse-Ne-
Cat, after the battle began yesterday,
had been cornered in Cottonwood
Gulch.

A party of 20 men, mounted and
armed, was ready to start from Dolores
some time during the day for Bluff.
This party did not expect to make the
trip in less than two days of forced
marching over almost impossible
mountain roads. Another posse, which
reached Grayson from Monticello,

word that ranchmen are arming them

Of battle.
No report has been received at any
of the Denver federal offices regarding
the fighting. Although Tse-lye-Gat

London. Feb. 23.-Following pre-
cedent which seems to have made Sun
day a popular day for such raids, a
lone German %aeroplane flew over sew
eral east coast towns last night drop
ping bombs which did only slight ma
terial damage and caused little alarm.
A Braintree dispatch to the Press as

last night a hostile aeroplane dropped
missiles supposed to be incendiary
bombs on the fields close to Braintree
but they did not do any damage.
At 8 o'clock an %aeroplane passed over
Colchester. which lies about SO miles
northeast Of London. 1t dropped a
bomb which buried itself in a garden,
where it exploded. doing damage to the
rear Of a house and smashing the WIN
dows Of other houses. No one was
hurt.
The aeroplane, said to b. a German,
also dropped bombs at Marks Tey, six
and a half miles west of Colchester
and a Coggeshall but no serious
damage resulted. The machine was last
reported as making off to sea.
No reports have been received from
n other places than those mentioned
concerning the visit by enemy air craft.

GOVERNOR TO BE REAL
AGRICULTURAL FRESHMAN
From the Cleveland plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Two weeks ago William T. Haines.
of Wateryille was governor Of Maine.
Now William T.. Haines, is a freshman
In the agricultural department Of the
University of Moine.
Before his fellow citizens called upon
Haines, OF W~aterville, to be their gov
<rnor he was a lawyer-farmer. That is
to say, he had studied and prepared
for the law, had found 1t not to his
liking, and a zone back to the soil
for a living.
Mr.. Haines had spent many years
preparing for his legal career. He had
spent none at all preparing to be an
agr1clllturist. He merely made the
shift over night, as one might arbitrar-
lily shift from an habitual bacon break
fast to one of soft boiled eggs.
But after he had made the shift Mr..
Haines discovered thai there were
many things about farming which he
did not altogether comprehend. He
even doubted the infallible wisdom OF
the old line cultivators of the soil who
surrounded him. He desired to learn.
II a dozen years could be spared for
preparation in the law surely q few
months could be profitably spent in ag-
ricultural training.
Such, at least, is the opinion OF
Haines, Of Waterville. Having com
pleted a successful term as governor
Of Maine he sets out to atone for his
deficiencies There Is much that is adj
mirable in the example of the governor
freshman.

LEGAL POINT RAISED
BY SENATE VACATION
Some Members Think Action
Has Effect of Invalidating
All Proceedings.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 22.-The senate,
which adjourned last Friday until
has raised a legal question which it
may be difficult to settle. The consti-
tuition says it is Illegal for either house
to adjourn for more than three lays
without the consent of the other.
The senate did not ask consent Of
the house, and if it should be held IL
lc yal in the present instance the adj
journment would invalidate ali legis-
lation from this time on. This would
necessitate a special session at once,
as no general appropriation bills have
been passed. This question is raised
by house members and an opinion may
be asked of the attorney general.
Taylor, of Custer county, will raise
his university fight again this after
noon, in a move to reconsider the &C
ton taken Friday when the house re-
fused to compel itemized appropria-
tons. He will make another effort to
get the committee instructed to di-
vide the appropriation in dollars and
cents between the various departments
and the state farm and university.
Failing in this, he will offer his resig-
nation. The question will probably be
made a special order of business for
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Coast Defense Guns Inferior.


In the United States there is not in ex-
silence today a single heavy field mortar
pf the type playing sue a conspicuous
part in the present campaigns in Europe.
We have not eve adopted a type for such
\ mortar, although the ordnance depart
nent has had the subject under consid-
sration for years. The policy has been
rather like that followed in the case OF
the 16-inch coast defense gun, which was
completed In the late sos, test fired in
1903. and lay on the beach at Sandy Hook
unprovided with a carriage. without even
q design for a carriage, until 1912.
And yet 1t is in coast artillery that we
are best prepared-if one may use the
expression where there is so little prepar-
alton of any kind-but even this force has
behind it a small and entirely adequate
reserve Of coast artillery militia. The
regular force itself has been considerably
reduced by transfer of organization to
the Philippines, Hawaii and Panama.
In coast artillery, as we'll as in field
guns, we are without sufficient ammuni-
ton. 1t would be necessary to ship some
of our so batteries from coast to coast in
case of serious operations on either ocean.
and even when the guns have been trans
ported, and ammunition has been provid-
ed. most Of our coast armament is actually
Inferior in range and power to the arna-
ment which can be brought against 1t by
modern ships Of war,

What Ship Subsidy Means.

From the New York World.
For so years American capital has stead
lastly refused to operate ships under the
American flag. In the midst Of a great
world war we are without a merchant
marine. The World can see no way of
dealing with this situation except by gov
eminent action, nor does the Sun. The
difference between us is that the Sun
thinks the government should subsidize
private effort, and we think that If pub
lie money must be used to establish the
beginnings of a merchant marine. the gov
eminent Mould own and operate the
ships itself.
We regard a subsidy as more pernicious
and demoralizing than government owner
ship and operation. 1t Is a more sinister
form of socialism, because 1t spells lob
bies, waste and scandal, and is centered
In responsibility. 1t tebauches political
parties, 1t corrupts political campaigns and
1t demoralizeS government. 1t Is a cancer
In the breast of the body polite.
We believe in private ownership when
ever we can get it. We believe In public
ownership only when private ownership Is
inadequate. But we never believe In pri-
vate ownership subsidized by government
money, This Is the worst evil of all, ana
that is why The World supports this bill
as against the sordid ship subsidy scheme
