Dept. Is
Given Power to
Change Roads

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, July 3d.
Chancellor Hal H. Haynes handed
down an opinion at Jonesboro Monday
in the case of State Highway Depart
ment VS.. Wm- Mitchell at Jonesboro,
which gives the Highway Department
practically unlimited powers to change
roads in this county in any way to
conform to its purpose, which will
serve as precedent all over the state.
According to the Acts of 1917, Sec
tion SO, the State Highway Depart
ment is authorized to change roads
to conform to Federal statutes to Sc
cure Federal aid, and therefore the
Highway Department has the right to
continue with the condemnation pro-
ceedings which have been instituted
where private citizens have been un-
willing to sacrifice something of their
own property for the good of the COM
munity.

Dynamite Damages
Show-Proprietor
Dies Later

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, July 3d.
M. W. Madden, who has been here
for the past week advertising a patent
medicine, died suddenly in his bed
at the Lee Hotel at two-thirty this
morning. For many years he has suf-
fered from a weak heart, and it is
believed by Mrs. Madden that this
attack was brought on by the worry
which has attended their weeks stay
in the city. On last Wednesday night
after the nightly lecture and show
was over and the performers and audi
ence departed, some one fired stick
of dynamite on the wooden platform
on which Madden gave his show. 0w-
ing to the placing of it, however, moth
ing but drop curtain was damaged.
After this attack, he was granted spe-
cial police protection but in spite of
precautions, another stick of dyna-
mite was placed on the platform early
Sunday morning, which demolished
half the platform. Fearing for his
personal safety the poice armed Mad
den on Monday. Last night the hotel
was aroused by cries of pain, and be-
fore doctor could be summoned the
man was dead. Madden is survived
by Mrs. Madden and a son who lives
in Birmingham. There is a reward
out for the perpetrators of the dy-
namiting and the police are working
upon clues which may lead to the
conviction of the parties involved.

Wilson Presents
Pact With France
To the Senate

WASHINGTON, July 80. - The
special treaty with France, promising
immediate American aid to that re-
public in repelling any unprovoked at
tack by Germany was sent to the SEN
ate today by President Wilson.
In his message urging ratification,
the president declared the promise a
temporary supplement" to the treaty
with Germany and the league of ma
tions covenant, designed to give
France protection in an emergency,
without awaiting the advice of the
league to act" He pointed out that
a similar promise had been made by
Great Britain and said that by the
obligation the United States but par
TALLY discharged a debt to France
which nothing can pay" in full.
The senate, where the presidents
failure to submit the treaty sooner
has been under repeated fire from re-
publican members, received the mes
sage in open session and referred the
treaty without discussion to the For
eign Relations Committee.
There was no reference in the mes
sage to the senate criticism, which
was based on a clause of the treaty
requiring that it be Submitted to the
senate of the United States at the
same time as the treaty of Versailles, y
presented by the president on July
10. The message did refer to this
clause, however, saying that it was
provided that the two treaties 'be the
subject of consideration at the same
time" and adding that as opportunity
now had been offered to examine thC
Versailles treaty, it was opportune tc
present the other.

Runaway Car
Plunges Over
End of Viaduct

KNOXVILLE, July 80. - Rushing
down the grade from Commerce ave-
nue. out of control and despite the
heroic efforts of the motorman to
check it at $40 o'clock last night,
Sixth avenue car No. so jumped the
switch at the foot of the grade, climb
ed the abutment of the old Gay street
viaduct and plunged over, carrying
twenty-one passengers with it for a
fall of Is feet, resulting in the serious
injury of seven of the occupants and
slight injuries to six others.
Witnesses state that the motorman
applied the brakes in an effort to
check the speed of the car for the
curve at the intersection of Jackson
avenue, but the rain, which was fall
ing at the time, caused the wheels to
skid and the car to gain momentum.
1t was checked for an instant, how
ever, at the top of the abutment after
the front wheels of the car was hang
ing over the edge, but one of the
rails gave way, causing it to plunge
over.
Of the seven injured in hospitals,
four are said to be seriously, if not
dangerously hurt. Six others are
known to have been injured, but were
able to be taken to their homes.

Maryland After
Food Pro6teers

Cambridge, Md, July 27.-Gov.
Harrington announced today that he
will call ON Attorney General Richie
to inform him what legal steps he can
take to determine by investigation re-
sponsibility for the high cost of liv-
ing, and with the information in hand
how far he can proceed with Grim
inal prosecution.
The Governor says he has long had
those measures in mind, but has de.
layed action, expecting Congress
would authorize Federal prosecutions
Now tired of waiting and spurred or
by the vigorous action taken by Gov
Cox of Ohio, he has decided to take
the bull by the horns.
When the investigation stage is
reached the Governor will call to hi'
aid the machinery of the Public Serv
ice and Conservation Commissions anC
State Agricultural Board. The inves.
tigation is not designed to be statisti
cal, but with view of finding out the
names of the criminals, and proceed
ing against them. Gov. Harrington
recognizes that the causes of high
prices are not wholly local; that prof
teers outside the state are more re
sponsible than those at home, but the
belief is general that evidence can bt
produced that local cold storage ware
houses, commission merchants and the
last handler of the farmers products
the hucksters, the green grocer anC
the market dealer are responsible il
large part for high prices.
Railroads and steamboats, under the
inefficient management by the Fed
eral Government have also theil
share of responsibility.
