BATES EXAMINES
HOGBACK ROAD WORK
State Highway Commissioner Also
Looks Over Proposed Road in Dunn
merston North Of Crosby Pond.

Stoddard Bates, state highway COM
missioner, was in town last night and
this morning. He came down yester-
day to Bennington and went over the
Bennington Brattleboro road. He said
this morning that a lot of work had
been laid out on Hogback mountain
and that with good luck most of it
would be finished this month. The
great difficulty is in finding men to
work steadily on the job. He told
County Highway Commissioner D. T.
Perry of West Brattleboro that af,
ter $1,000 had been spent on Hogback
they would look over the road again
| and see what more ought to be done.
Mr.. Bates looked over the proposed
new stretch of road north of Crosby
pond on the Dummerston road by which
sharp curve and steep grade on the
| upper road would be eliminated bv
| running a road from the lower one to
the upper one. He said that this had
| been stakcd out, but that he doubted
whether work would be begun on If
this fall. The necessary rights of way
| have not yet been obtained.
He left this morning for Benning-
ton, accompanied by Chairman r. c.
Bacon of the public service commits
sion, to attend this afternoon hear
ing on the abolition OF grade cross
ing.

III providing melodies that remain in
the memory, and the piece is essential
ly Victor Herbert work

for waltz rythms. The music through,
out Is light and gay and there are
many duets, trios and choruses which
are admirably sung.

Is much more sane and pretentious than
Is usual III comic operas and that it
contains many bright lines which call
for and obtain hearty laughs.

numbers the best are: Love is Best of
All, For Better of for Worse, | Need
Affection, Two Laughing Irish Eyes.
All for You, Make Him Guess, When a
Girl 5 About to Marry and In a Lite

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps Us TIC.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustibIe material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimin-
ated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out OF
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean; pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
aches, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste.
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. and begin prac-
Using internal sanitation. This will
cost very little, but is sufficient to
make anyone an enthusiast on the
| subject. r..
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health. while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver; kidneys and
bowels. ADV. III" 49, II

offering at the Bijou for the remain
der of this week. and the initial per
fCrmance last night got across ID

1t is worth the admission price Just
to hear Jeanne Mai sing, and this is
the candid opinion of more than one
critic. She possesses one of the best
contralto voices heard in Honolulu for
some time and her rendition last night
Of Somewhere a Voice Is Calling
was real treat. IL was refreshing.
She responded to two encores and the
audience wanted more.
This weeks show is one continuous
laugh and between the laughs the
chorus introduces some new songs
and costumes. 4 pretty feature is
Aileen Flaven singing China Lady
with the chorus. The costumes in
this instance are particularly good,
Pearl JardinieTe received her usual

MAY SUE IN NAME OF
 NEW HAVEN" ROAD
Superior Court Virtually Empowers Minority Stockholders to Proceed
 With Action to Recover $1O2, 100000

Boston,, Jan. 28.-The superior court virtually empowered minority stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad to pro ceed in the name of the corporation in their suit to recover from former directors of the road $102, 2,O0O,OO0 al- legged to have been lost by improper purchases.
 Judge Braley, in allowing two amendments to this effect which were filed recently by minority interests. al- lowed the respondents thirty days in which to demur or plead.
 Counsel for the respondents in formed the court that they probably would demur to the amendments as they had to the original bill. The demurrer against the bill was sus- tained by the full bench on the ground that the bill did not set forth a sufficient cause of action.
 The amendments contend that the railroad corporation having refused to proceed against it's former officers the minority interests should be given the right to sue in the name of the road

THIRTEEN ARRESTED

Chicago Police Believe They Have Five Bandits Who Actually Made

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Much of the $15,0OO stolen from the Washington Park National bank in the raid yes terday, was recovered today by the police and among thirteen persons taken into custody the authorities be- 1ieve they have the five who partici- pated in the robbery.
 Through a woman who was arrest ed with one of the suspected men word came to the police today of rooms which had been recently rented in a west side apartment building. Detectives went to the place and forced their way into a room occu- pied by fire men and three women While they were breaking down the saw a pasteboard box fall at his feet. He kicked it and ten and twenty dollar bills fell out. The boy called a policeman nearby and they replaced the money in the box. Then the squad of detectives appeared with their prisoners and took charge of the money box.
 At detective headquarters the money was counted and spread out on the captains desk. It totalled $7SO0 and many of the bills were identified by the cashier of the bank

of 13S newspapers, partly Virginian partly taken from the country al large, shows that more space is given to the war than to any other subject The method adopted was to take all the reading matter of each paper as 100 and ascertain the percentage given to each of the 32 topics fixed upon. These percentages were then reduced to a single table showing the average percentage thus:
 War, IA; sports, OLA; government 10; business, -; finance, 6.22; crime 6.14 politics, 5.7; education, 3.Bi; deaths and births, 3.6; society. S.e: safety and accidents, 2.S; noted per- sons, 2.7; industries, 2.22; religion, 2; literature, IS; persons not noted. k6; agriculture, IT; theater, Is; msf- riage, 1.3; benevolence, 1.21; improye- ments, 1.20, weather. IL; jokes, 0.e; household arts, 0.9; science and dis covery, 0.s; fashion, or; amusements and recreation, 06; exposition, 0.6; divorce, 0.4; invention, 0.4; trans portation, 0.3: art, 02.
 To a certain extent, of course, this division, and the figures based on fl, are arbitrary. Several of the subjects tabulated separately might have been thrown together, making a larger tot al But with the exception of business and finance 1t would not be easy thus to make group outweighing the war
 It would be extreme to take the space allotted to any subject for a measure either of the estimate nut upon its importance or of the intensity and prevalence of public interest. While no kind of news can permanent- ly command great deal of space in great number of newspapers unless large public is interested in it, those who handle news quickly come to recognize that some kinds are in> trnsical.y bulky, while other kinds no less important or interesting can be packed into small space. Thus She great space given to sports in the modern newspaper is in part of a rec ognition of Q keen and widespread interest, and in part a necessity i'm posed by the fact that news of this kind, if it Is to be given at all, needs great deal of space for detail.
 From this point of view the place held by the war news is anomalous. It's bulk is unavoidably increased by the impossibility of getting at the pure core of fact. Instead various con- flicting claims have to be presented, with whatever collateral information is available. Sometimes to the news gatherers 1t is like making bricks without straw. Yet while the censor ship compels roundabout methods and , tedious reduplication or bewilderfng controversy it is also true that if fhe full story of the war could be told from day to day it would stamp every- thing; no newspaper could possibly deal with it. So while the statistics thus laboriously compiled show strik- ( ingly how great a place is taken by tho war in the news of the day, the fig~ ures will not bear pressing. On the one side what war news comes is nec- essarily bulky because it comes from many sources, and on the other Eide. all the news available does scant jus- tice to the magnitude of the event 4
