CONVICT ROAD BUILDING
SUCCESSFUL IN OHIO.

Washington, d. c., Aug 19.-Con-
victs have been successfully used in
Ohio in experimental road building.
State Highway Commissioner Cowan
has recently forwarded to the nation
al Committee on prisons a report of
this work whichwas undertaken to de
termine which type of road would
successfully stand heavy traffic.
This work was started late in the
season and it was very difficult to
obtain free labor. For this reason
it was decided to try out convict
labor. 1t is estimated that about
two-thirds of the work done in 1912
was done by convicts, while only one
free laborer other than the teamsters
and roller engineer, was employed in
1913. The convicts were taken each
day form the state penitentiary to
and from the work in a motor truck
operated by a convict. After taking
the convicts to the work in the morn
/ ing, the truck returned to the peni-
|tentiary for other duties during the
| day, returning in the evening to take
/ the men home The distance from
the penitentiary to the work by the
route Travelled in 1912 is about seven
in 1913 is about four and one half
miles.
The convicts were all colored men,
and the number working each day
varied from II to 25. One guard, un-
armed. accompanied them. There
was no effort on the part of the men
to escape. even though they were
sometimes scattered along the road
for a distance OF half a mile.
From the fact that this road is
an experimental road and that the
type or method OF construction was
: frequently changed. it was often
necessary to change the occupation
of the men. Some difficulty was ex-
perienced with the class OF men that
were being worked when these
changes came too frequently, and
where the occupation of the men was
changed several times the day. their
work was not always satisfactory.
However. when the men could be
employed at the same class Of work
/ for several days in succession, salts
/ factory results were secured.
The educational yalue Of work of
this kind for convicts able to make
the best OF their opportunity is very
great and the national committee on
prisons hopes other states will try
experiments similar to that OF Ohio.

of rates in Oklahoma, freight rates
having been brought In by an amend
ment to the bill which was filed last
winter. 1t also contains the claim
by the corporation commission that
the railroads shall pay back to pas
sengers the difference between SC
and &c cents mile that was charged
during a period while the roads were
collecting the higher rate, despite
the &c law. This sum is estimated
to be about $60OO,OO0
Several efforts have been made to
settle this case by compromise on
. 6-10c or 1-2c a mile, but so far no
such efforts have availed, 1t is gen
orally believed, however, that the
case will never be appealed to the SUI
preme court, and that a settlement
will be reached after the coming No
vember election. There is no proba-
bility but that the trial court will
grant an injunction against the rate
complained of.
The case has been on trial inter
mittently since March, 1915. The
state has appropriated about 100000
for defense of the case.
Judge Frank A. Youmans OF the
federal court at Fort Smith has pre-
sided over the trial. Railroads were
represented by S. T. Bledsoe and S
w. Hayes for the Santa Fe, C. O.
Blake for the Rock Island, r. A
Kleinschmidt for the Frisco and Cliff
ford L. Jackson for the Katy. Attor.
ney General 5. p. Freezing and former
Chief Justice J. w. Hill of Arkansas
have represented the state.
The printed record of this case will
make twenty-three vorumes and the
exhibits are of an equai bulk.

CROSS CONTIN-
ENT IN OWN AUTOMOBILES

Washington, D. c., Aug. 19.--Typi-
cal of what soon will be usual for
thousands of easterners, is the recent
tour of Cortlandt F. Bishop, of LenoX,
Mass, an A. A. A. road traveller of
international reputation, whose third
Pacific Coast trip covered the Pacific
highway from the Mexican boundary
to the Canadian line, with the addi-
ton of Vancouver Island and its eX-
cellent thoroughfares.
81 knew California, but Oregon
Washington, and British Columbia
now present fields for the American
motorist which are unequaled on this
terrestrial sphere" is the comment Of
Mr.. Bishop, who is acquainted with
Europe by road most completely.
According TO Chairman David Joyce
of the A. A. A. Touring Board, who
never hesitates to try out doubtful
route, the past two years have wit
messed the commencement of real
automobile touring of this country.
While it is not contended that motor
lists before that period had not moved
about, the point is that after all, with
here and there an exception, the av-
erage owner really only made trips
of limited mileage ana territory com
pared with the tours made in 1915
and 1916.
Previous to last year transcon-
tinentalist was looked upon by friends
as either foolhardy or exceptionally
rash" says Chairman Joyce, "but 1915
saw more thousands cross the CONT
nent in automobiles than had toured
n stretch of three or four states less
than five years ago. There were
many who freely predicted the expo
sitions on the Pacific coast were the
be all and end-all OF that class OF
touring and that this year would see
only an occasional straggler. Yet all
reports made to the American Auto
mobile Association, the national clear
ing house OF touring information.
from the various cross-the- country
route centers show that, in place of a
dimunition, there has been an in
crease over each OF the half dozen
routes extending from ocean TO ocean.
There is also a like condition Of
travel flow between the north and
south. that saw its real beginning in
noticeable numbers last fall. Pre-
vious to that time there was ven
turesome one now and then who
braved the reported road horrors, on
ly TO find the trip was free from hard
ships although presenting some dis
comforts. But road improvements in
the south were so many in 1915 that

Topeka, Kansas, Aug. 19-The Sc
we're drought continues in all parts

tin, issued by the United States
weather bureau herr Most OF the
week ending August Is was uncom-
fortably hot. the report shows.
Corn prospects continue to become
more unfavorabie in all parts of the
state except the few northeastern
counties that received good rains" &"
the bulletin says. In most places
the damage is reported to be as high
as GO to so per cent, the northwest
ern and some south central counties
reporting that the crop is practically
a failure. The most favorable reports
received are from the northern tier Of
counties. east OF the middle of the
state. where the heaviest Yields are
usually produced. Here the damage
does not greatly exceed 50 per cent
