outskirts of Lowicz. Two men had TO
mount the first span Of horses and ply

the work.
Prisoners Repair Road,
In few days the Russian prisoners
were set to repairing the road, and
two days later il was in capital shape.
The prisoners had done their work
well They are good diggers and
patchers.
Each of the huge provision wagons
carries at It's side bundles Of switches
for road mending. These are laid in
the holes and covered with earth
Their purpose is TO keep the earth

patched piece of road They also serve
to keep the wheels from cutting into
soft ground

paid the penalty.
Letters From Home.
The cheerful sight IN the triangle
of death is the comfortable looking
field post wagons numbering along the
Bolimow road, for they mean letters
from home and a chance to send let

A SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The publication of the full text Of
the united states supreme court de-
clslon In the California oil land cases
reveals an important feature over
looked In the press dispatches Of a
few days ngo
The point involved was the power
Of the president. without specific au-
thorlty from congress, to withdraw
certain public lands from entry, In
order 10 preserve to the public the
natural wealth they contained Roth
Roosevelt and Taft had done this. but
Taft had acted In the face Of his own
doubts as TO the legality of his action.
The supreme court finds that the
president. being described by the
constitution as the agent in charge
OF the public domain" has fun power
to take such action, unless forbidden
by congress, which IS endowed with
Legislative power over the public do-
main. II the president withdraws
hnds from entry, and congress takes
no action. II thereby acquiesces in his
act.
The supreme court in this deci-
sion has defined aud delimlted a new
field of presidential authority, II has
increased the power Of the president
by the process OF constitutional def
milton, Just as by the same process Il
has taken the power over interstate
commerce from the states and lodged
&c definitely In the Interstate Com
meree commission
without federal amendment to
the constitution, the president rs
thus made secure In the exercise Of
this power for the benefit Of the
public. subject only to the formal
dissent of congress, ana such dissent
must have enough backing TO pass
such bill over the veto of the presi-
dent TO make Il certain.
such power was In the constitution
all the time, but It was latent until
Roosevelt called 1t forth, and Taft
used It and the supreme court affirm
ed it.

orous protest. on the other hand,
because an American was killed
when 4 British steamer was sunk by

Great Britain Is that the United
States should demand redress from

Great britain and France that the
United states. by virtue Of its sigma
turc OF certain Hague agreements, Is
bound to assist In the maintenance
Of the neutrality Of Belgium, violated
by Germany at The beginning Of the
war.
So far aa the United States Is con

Indicated after tho war is over. 50
long as the sovereignty Of chile Is not
threatened, or MS territorial integrity
endangered. there Is no call for the
United states TO interfere under the
Monroe Doctrine,
As to Belgium, that Is a European
matter to be settled by Europeans,
and In the death Of Thresher. the
action OF the German submarine,
however reprehensible, was directed
against a British ship upon which
Thresher happened to be a passen-

rine and that Germany viii be call

ASKS FOR Statement
FROM ALL ASSESSORS
Mathews Compares Work of
1915 Corps of Deputies
With Records.

County Assessor Mathews has call
ed meeting of township assessors for
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the
court house.
The assessors will bring in reports
of the first complete weeks work. 1t
is understood. the equalization of
assessments planned for the county is
not working much better than in form
er years; although the work is no
worse than it has been, and is con.
sidered much better than in other
counties.
Each township assessor Is expected
to have a report showing the amount
he and his deputies have assed this
year and a comparative report showing
the relation of assessments on the
same properties and persons last year.
In this way, it will be learned what
townships are showing gains and
losses.
Deputy Assessors in Wayne town
ship are complaining because citizens
are trying to put them off on assess
ments or otherwise delay them in
making out the sheets. This makes
it impossible for the work to proceed
rapidly. Many of the assessors say
they have to retrace several times in
order to get all their assessments.

Sacrament at Cincinnati. yesterday.
Monday morning, his wife found
him sitting dead in chair in the
kitchen OF their home. There was a
slight cut on his nose, and stream
of blood lead from the house for sew

D. Rockefeller, wife of the richest
man in the world, is dead. She passed
away at 1920 o'clock today at the
Rockefeller home at Pocantico Hills,

health for many years. She was 10
years old last September.

was kept secret for a short time in
fear Of the effect that 1t would have

influence upon the health of her hus-
band through grief over the death of
his life companion.
Rumors of the death of Mrs. Rookie

LAND At G Street
PROVES BEST SITE
FOR SOUTH BRIDGE
Engineers Find Solid FOun-
datiOn Unavailable From
Borings Made on Proposed
E Street Location.

Borings for the South Side bridge
location are completed and it is said
South G street has shown up the most
favorably
Hundreds of samples of earth and
sand brought up by the drills have
heen retained for analysis.~a.F he .sodtA
E street location is unfavorable
because of the heavy vein of water
mixed with sand which struck at q
few feet from the surface but the
engineers probably will submit plans
for several types of bridges.
Solid foundation can be made at
South G street, according to informa-
tion given out about the borings.
There will be less difficulty in locat-
ing bridge there than at E street,
where some skilful engineering work
will be required if that location is
chosen.
The engineering corps consisting of
John w. Mueller, county bridge engi-
neer, Levi C. Peacock, county survey
or and Fred r. Charles, city engineer,
will make a report to the county COM
missioners in a week or two. Follow
ing this report, organizations are ex-
pected to get busy in the interests of
their locations.
A commission which was appointed
to study the relative benefits from the
two proposed sites, never made COM
plete report but in partial reports, E
street was much favored. The group
of men representing various organiza-
tions will take into consideration the
report on the borings before reaching
an agreement to submit to the county
commissioners.
