NAVY OFFICERS ANGERED
BY CENSNRE OF CONDUCT
Chill Paper Accuses Ships Contingent
of Misbehaving at Banquet

Commanders Of battleships anchored at
League Island today resented the published
account in a newspaper OF Santiago, Chill,
which censured the conduct OF officers Of
the Tennessee while being entertained at a
banquet held some time ago at Santiago,
Chilli
Some Of the allegations relating to the
behavior OF officers of the Tennessee were
that chrysanthemums were placed by them
on each ear OF a distinguished resident of
Santiago IL was also charged that officers
threw pieces Of bread at each other, and
also danced on the banquet floor.
81 do not care to enter any controversy"
said Commandant Russell, OF the Philadel-
phia Navy Yard, but will say that do not
believe the story"
Captain f. A. Traut, Of the receiving
ship Illinois, who read the translated re-
port of the banquet. and also the accusa-
tions made against the officers OF the Ten
nessee, said that he didn't believe them.

$4,000 HELPED STATE
WITH GOOD ROADS DAY,
DEPARTMENT REPORT
Highway Officials Declare Hopes
Were Realized in Enthusiastic
Support, for Which Gov
ernor Gives Thanks
LATE SEASON OBSTACLE

HARRISBURG, May 2e.-Fpllowng Gov
ernor Brumbaugh's message OF thanks to
the people of Pennsylvania for their hearty
cooperation in the second annual good
roads day. the State Highway Department
issued statement today saying that more
than $4,000 persons we're on the highways
yesterday The statement follows:
Preliminary reports received from more
than one-third of the counties at the State
Highway Department this morning indicate
that Statewide good roads day has been
fully as successful az was anticipated.
While no definite statement as to the num-
ber of men who volunteered for work can
be obtained before next week. II Is estimated
that last years figures of $4,000 will be ex.
ceeded The chief reason why many more
did not volunteer for work Is found In the
late farming season, which prevented farm
ers in many parts of the State from turn
ing out. This. coupled with the scarcity of
labor due to the unprecedented Industrial
rush, kept down the number of volunteers;
but despite these facts the reports so far
received indicate that more men were out
this year than last year.
I'm Berks and Chester Counties the mum.
bor of men who volunteered exceeds 1000
In Armstrong, Blair, Cambria and Luzerne
Counties the number of volunteers averaged
more than 1900.
columbia County was one Of the first to
report and the preliminary estimates indi-
cate that nearly 1000 men worked whole
or part Of the day on the roads in that
county.
Reports have not been received from
some of the most important counties where
the Statewide good roads day sentiment
was most enthusiastic, and II is expected
that when the state Highway Department
hears from these counties the total number
of men employed will rank very high.
"A feature of the day was the number
of carloads of material contributed by diff
ferent corporations and public-spirited
citizens for use on the township roads"

ROOSEVELT CANNOT BE ELECTED.

There people who believe that the country has
brought such by the Wilson administration that
is the first and only duty of the people of the country
to bring about change These people argue and believe
that any change will be benefit and that Col Roosevelt
would make the greatest change elected president Con-
sequently it follows that Col Roosevelt should be the
nominee of the Republican party this year Granting
everything here forth there is very good and su
cient why Col Roosevelt should be nominated
viz: he cannot be elected.
The primary elections held in half dozen from
Massachusetts, Montana indicate beyond doubt that
COL Roosevelt is not the choice of the Republicans of
the country. In Massachusetts, unnsructed delegation
was elected delegation pledged Col Roosevelt.
In this state the issue clear and we'll defined The
voters of Massachusetts, settled, far they
cerned the question: shall Col Roosevelt be the nominee
of the Republican party? They said give anybody

Jersey and Montana the have spoken and in not
single instance has their voice been for Col Roosevelt
AS of fact there is no demand for Col Roosevelt
