not feel like doing business with Her

disposed to take up these matters with
Herzog. The ex-Giant captain was
not entirely familiar with the situa-
ton when he arrived IN Miami, en-
t!rely unexpectedly this morning,
from Pinellas Park, where he has
beer spending the winter with his
family. Nevertheless Manager George
IT Stallings was pleased to see Her
zop, and the two spent the day to-
gether, although not getting down to
business. Manager Stallings explained
conditions to Herzog and told MIN
that at present he did not care to go
into the matter of bonus. More than

Braves is due to arrive in Miami this
morning from the north and he nat
urally would be on hand when any
conference would take place.

the pennant in the National League
last year said he was feeling fine, but
he did not look any too rugged as he
sat upon the veranda of the Urmey

he met with an accident during last
season that caused him to remain out
of baseball for some time. He sports
beautiful coat of tan through ex-

whenever called upon to do so. Her

disregarded those instructions or he
would have been here week ago. It

He will probably remain in Miami for

surprising II he drifted out to watch
the Braves practice this morning.

HOLY KORAN OF OSMAN
STILL SACREDLY GUARDED
(By Associated Press.)

petrograd, March 26.-Accordins
70 one of the latest DEGREES OF the
Workmen's and Peasants govern
ment the Holy Koran Of Osman, at
present held by the State Public III
brary. is to be handed over to the
Moslem National organizations.
This great rarity, which is beyond
ALI price, was rescued at the storm
ing of Samarkand and was handed
over to the care of the library by the
first Turkestan Governor-General
Kaufman in the year 1869. The Ko-
ran is written in the Arabian Ian
guage in so-called cufic characters,
without periods and commas. The
parchment manuscript was kept in
the Samarkand mosque Chodja-Arch-
rara.
According to legend current
among Musselmen, the Koran was
written by Mahomet's brother-in-law
Tho brother-in-law, Osman, was af-
terwards killed in his palace by the
irsurgent populace as he was reading
the Koran and to this day traces
like discolored bloodstains, may be
seen on the book. The Koran Is esti-
mated to be 1,2OO years old. Experts
OF eastern script look upon the Ko-
ran as one of the treasures of the once
famous library collected in Samar.
kand by the victorious Tamerlane.
n Petrograd the Koran has beer
the object of many pilgrimages. From
all parts of the Moslem world the
faithful come to worship it. The pub

HERZOG COMES INTO CAMP
OF BOSTON BRAVES AT MIAMI
Miami Herald.)

Quite the most interesting bit of
news in the camp of the Boston
Praves, yesterday, was the altogether
unexpected dropping in Of Chas. L.
Herzog, late captain of the New York
Giants, who is now the property Of
the Boston club, although it is still
quite a question whether ne will be in
the lineup when the team opens the
National League championship season
on April 10th. The deal by which Her.
ZOE, one of the most valued men in
the National League, was acquired by
the Braves Is a rather intricate one
and there are several angles that have
yet to be Strengthened out before any
definite announcement can be made.
As explained to The Herald man
last night the Boston club during the
winter traded Larry Doyle, whom
Boston had secured from Chicago,
ard Jesse Barnes, pitcher with the
Braves for the past two seasons, to
/ the New York club in exchange for
Player Herzog and another outfielder
to be named by the Boston club on
March goth Herzog has what Is
known in baseball parlance as an
ironcIad contract with the Giants
calling for an $1,000 salary and hav-
ing another year to run. By the terms
OF that contract Herzog cannot be
sold by the Giants to any club with
out his consent, and the deal was
made subject to Herzog's acceptance
Of the transfer. II he does not ac-
cept, then the deal is Off and on the
opening day of the season Doyle and
Barnes will revert to the Braves and
Hcrzog will go back to the Giants.
HerzOg's Demands
Herzog has imposed several de-
mands upon the Boston club before
accepting the transfer. The Rosto-
club, realizing that a bonus must b.
raid and several other conditions met
has insisted that the Giants name {
player by the name Of Smith as thu

tenn of roads their value will depre-
ciate under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads can be con-
structed. 1t is therefore essential that
after a road Is once built. great care
should be taken In its upkeep. There
Is no question that the cost Of proper
maintenance Is many times saved in
the increased economic value Of the
highway traffic.
Maintenance may be divided into
two general classes: First, the upkeep
Of roads which have been constructed
along standard line with minimum
grades. proper drainage and surfac-
ing material; second. the conditioning
Of roads that have had little. II any.
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not SO liable to be neglected
by those entrusted with their care,
and while their maintenance problem
is a very important and necessary one.
this class Of roads represents only q
lesser portion. The greater percent
age of roads in the state are not i'm
proved. Inasmuch as this class of
roads serve the majority Of the people
and this kind Of road will always pre-
dominate, 1t Is very necessary that at
tention be directed to proper ways and
means Of their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work Is being done and the mileage Of
improved roads increased. and while
this work Is going on the unimproved
roads should be kept in as good condi-
ton as possible at a minimum cost.
The best results can only be OBJ
tanned by the enthusiasm and local
pride Of the man who uses the road.
He Is the fellow most interested. and
a small amount of intelligent atten-
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results on their particular
section of the road.
This rule applied throughout the
length and breadth Of any state would
mean q system Of earth roads that
could be pointed to with pride.
