BUILDING GOOD ROADS

More than 80 counties in Ken
lucky are actually at work building
roads under state supervision and
with state aid. Twenty other coun-
ties have asked for and been grant
ed such aid and are now preparing
to begin work. The statewide road
building movement is on in earnest,
and it is here to stay.
At the two penitentiaries, at
Frankfort and Eddyville, there are
1000 men convicts. A large pro-
portion of that number are ply
sically capable of working on the
roads. Instead of being so worked,
they are let out to prison con-
tractors at an annual loss to the
state.
At the coming election, consti-
tutional amendment to work the con-
victs on the roads is to be voted on.
1t has been twice submitted by the
General Assembly and once adopt
ed by the people. That adoption
was nullifled by a failure to adver-
tise the amendment within the pre-
scribed 80 days. The necessary adj
vertising has now been done. The
whole question is in the hands of
the voters, and both political par
ties have declared for adoption
in theis state platforms.
The prison contractor is opposed
to adoption 1t will put an end to
his profits. Organized labor is
unit on wanting to see the amend
ment adopted. 1t will put an end
to convict competition with free
labor. 1t will put men at work on
the roads where there is now a
scarcity of labor.
In the state of Virginia. it was
| found that convict labor effected a
saving of 1,500 mile in the cost
of building roads. In a score Of
| other states, where this labor is
| used, 1t has been demonstrated that
roads can be built with contract
| labor at half the cost of free labor.
| Convict labor on the roads has
proved good for the state and good
for the convict 1t has helped him
physically and morally. 1t has, in
many instances. restored him to
good citizenship, and "A convict re-
stored to good citizenship is an
asset; a convict released to follow
a life of crime is liability.
II Kentucky wants the advantages
that come from convict labor on
the roads. all that will be necessary
will be to vote Yes for the amend
ment. If Kentucky prefers to let
the prison contractor get richer al
her expense by continuing in effect
system of slavery, the amendment
will be defeated.
But the voter who goes to the
polls and fails to vote on the amend
ment will overlook an opportunity
to do his county and the state good
service.

CARPETS REPORT
American Consul General Has No
Tidnqs of Consul McNeeiy.

Washington, Jan. 3.-With informa'
ton at hand to show that 245 per-
sons, including United States Consul
Robert n. McNeely, probably lost
their lives when the British steamer
Persia was sunk in the eastern Medi-
terranean, the hands of the state de-
partment are temporarily tied.
Unless more detailed and positive
information is obtained as to the cir
cumstance of the attack. officials of
the state department admitted that
the American government may never
be in a position to demand an ac'
counting. Thus far on two essential
POINTS the facts are lacking. 1t re-
mains to be determined, they point
out:
First Whether the Persia was at
tackled by a submarine, or was sunk
by a mine.
Second-Attacked by submarine,
whether the attacking craft was a
German, Austrian or Turkish subma-
rine or of another nationality.

AUSTRIA YIELDS
Reply to Second American Note Held
to Be Satisfactory.

TO DC Satisfactory.
Washington, Jan. 2.-Austria's re
ply to the second American note on
the destruction of the Italian liner
Ancona, in which a number of Ameri-
can lives were lost, is regarded favor
ably here. Vienna has acceded to the
more important demands made by the
United Staets. In effect, the Austrian
government states it desires a con-
tinuance of the good relations be-
tween the United States and Vienna,
and that it indorses the principle set
forth by Washington that private
ships. insofar as they do not offer re-
sistance. may not be destroyed with
out the persons aboard being brought
into safety.
While regretting loss of life by the
destruction of the Ancona, Austria
places the blame for this on the An
cona's crew, which it charges with in
competence and negligence. The An
coma sought to escape when ordered
tc stop by the Austrian submarine,
which fired number of shells after
the fleeing vessel, several of which hit

London, Jan. 3.-It is almost GER
tain that American Consul Robert n.
McNeely lost his life when the British
steamship Persia was torpedoed and
sunk in the Mediterranean Thursday
afternoon. He was last seen strug-
Cling in the water. There is no men,
ton of his name in any of the lists Of
survivors so far received. He was on
his way to Alden, Arabia.
No warning was given the Persia
before the torpedo was launched, &C
cording to authoritative information.
1t us understood that Robert p. Skin
ner, American consul general here,
has information in his possession that
out of total of 400 passengers and
crew on the steamer only 1873 were
saved. This number of survivors has
arrived at Alexandria, Egypt. 1t is
| possible that a few more may be
added.
The number of lives lost was, there
fore. Eat, making the Persia second
only to the Lusitania loss among the
list Of passenger steamers sunk by
| German and Austrian submarines. OF
the 1853 saved only SO were passen-
| gers, the others being members of the
crew.
There we're eighty-seven women
among the passengers. OF these only
seventeen are known to have been
picked up. In addition. there were
thirty children. 1t is feared that all
of the latter lost their lives. Charles
1. Grant Of Boston, the second Ameri-
N positively known to have been on
(s Persia, was saved. His name
caI& among the first list of survivors.
There is some doubt as to whether
Dowd McNeely, brother to the Amer.
lean consul at Alden, was on board. II
he was, there is very little hope that
he was saved. His name appears in
none OF the lists of survivors. There
fore it is practically established that
one American citizen and an official
of the United States was lost wher
\ the Persia went down. In addition
/ there is a possibility that another
american, making two in all, was
/ drowned.
1 It is affirmed that only four life
boats got away from the Persia, a
/ fact which comes to indicate beyond
doubt that the ship sank within few
| minutes after being struck. Among
those who are known to have EN-
barked on the Persia, but whose
names do not appear among the
saY0d, are Miss E. Thornton, private
secretary to Lord Montague, and Miss
G. E. Macdonald.
