of Inquiry

Frank W. Blair. treasurer Of the
Truman H. Newberry campaign COM
mittce; Allan A. Templeton, general
chairman cf the same committee, and
Thomas T. Phillips. in charge of pub
licity for the committee, all prominent
citizens of Detroit, were charged yes
terday before Judge Edward f. Cush-
man. of the Criminal Branch Of the
Federal District Court. with being con-
tumacious witnesses. Judge Cushman
ordered them to comply with the re
quest OF the grand jury and testify
with reference to the campaign eX-
uenditures in the Michigan primary
battle last summer. when Lieutenant
Commander Newberry, former Secre
tary of the Navy. won the Republican
romination for United States Senator,
defeating Henry Ford and former Gov
ernoy Chase S. Osborn.
The grand jury. headed by Foreman
Albert j. Weber, retired to their room,
and the recalcitrant witnesses again
went before them. Acting on the adj
vice of their counsel, Martin w. Lit
Teton, they again refused to testify.
Barring accident, the three Detroit men
will be arraigned before Judge Cush-
man this afternoon at ? o'clock. In all
human probability Judge Cushman will
commit them to the custody of United
States marshal.
Mr.. Lttleton, their counsel, will then
obtain writ of habeas corpus directed
to the marshal, compelling him to pro-
duce the prisoners in court, whereupon
will begin the fight to test the legality
Of the entire action wherebyNthe politi-
cal friends of Commander Newberry
were brought to New York with the
idea of compelling them to testify con-
cerning the Michigan United States
Senatorship campaign.

question which every one of our cti-

ROAD BUILDING To
Be RESUMED SOON
Large Bond Issues are Author
lied in Two States for
1919 Work.

From the reports constantly be
ing received from the various states.
it seems evident that there is going
10 be a resumption Of road build
ing on 6 scale even greater than
those in closest touch with the situ-
alton had dared 10 hope This is
as it should he, Of course. for the
great need of the country today is
transportation. and that can be had
only if the highway systems Of the
states and the nation are developed
to- their maximum capacity says
Good Roads. in a recent issue.
In two states. Illinois and Penn
sylvania. large bond issues have been
authorized by the voters In other
states, notably South Dakota and
Iowa, the issuance OF bonds is being
agitated, and apparently has the
backing of influential interests.
There is also considerable sentiment
In favor Of bond issue in Mime
sofa and in Michigan In many
counties too, the issuing Of bonds
for extensive road building opera
tions seems likely.
The 1919 road programs of a
number Of states have been tenta-
lively drawn up. and i'm most in
stances the proposed expenditures
are at least as large as those of pre-
vious years when war did not inter-
fere with internal improvements. In
some cases they are considera bly,
larger. The projected expenditures
I'm Texas Will amount to about S25,-
100000. while the proposed expen-
diture i'm Minnesota is about 6.OOO.-
600. In Louisiana. according TO a
recent report. more than $4,000. 600
Will be spent and in Ohio plans have
been made for what is described as
the biggest good roads year" in
that states history. Work under
the supervision of the state i'm Colo
RADIO will cost about $4,000, 900, it is
predicted.
Less definite plans have been an
nOunced for many other states. Road
work has been held up everywhere
for a long time and there is a very
general disposition TO make up next
year for the time lost this year and
last. While the conclusion of the
armistice ON the other side has not
removed all of the obstacles i'm the
way of renewed activity in Ameri-
can road work. the way of the road
builder has been made much easier.
and there is every reason to be op-
timistic i'm looking forward to next
years operations.
