N ARE BEHIND ROADS
National Grange Officers Confer With

Has introduced.

Proceeding in accordance with IN
structions given them ut the annual
meeting of the National Grange, held
recently in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Washington representatives Of the or
g~anization. which comprises some
100000 farmers, have conferred with
Senator Charles Il. Townsend of Mich
igan and will hold further meetings
with him on the measures which lie
has introduced in Congress providing
for a national highway system to be
built and maintained by the govern
ment under the direction Of a federal
commission.
In a special report adopted at the
grange meeting. it was held that the
time has come when, with due regard
for the present and future necessi-
ties for permanent, hard-surfaced high
ways, all the highway activities OF the
national government should be unified
in a single administrative department
under such limitation of powers as
will secure the greatest possible de-
gree Of efficiency and economy in the
expenditure Of national funds.

MORAL NECESSITY TO BUILD
To Maintain Happy and Prosperous
People on Farms We Must I'm

by J. DENNY O'NE1L. Pennsylvania
Highway Commissioner
The problem confronting the high
way department in these abnormal
times when labor and material are
so scarce and SO high, is this: Shall
We go ahead constructing new roads?
! am convinced that good roads are
an economic us well as a moral ne
cessity. We must have food. and II
we want boys and girls to stay ON the
farm to produce it. we must dig them
out of the mud by building roads
SO they can get to market or to a rail-
road.
There are places in Pennsylvania
where it costs more to haul farm
products to a railroad station than
it does to pay the freight to France.
AS in the past, the hope Of the future
from a moral point of view, is to
maintain a happy. contented and
prosperous people on the farms and
in the small towns and villages. They

VITAL IMPORTANCE OF ROADS
Few Physicians and, Nurses in
Rural Communities.

That good roads are of vital I'm
portance to the health of a cOmmu-
nifty and particularly those who live
in rural communities Is shown In an
article in Modern Medicine. 1t Is
pointed out by the writer that there
are few physicians, few nurses. and
practically no hospital facilities in
rural districts. In some commune
ties, ever In older states, there Is only
one practicing physician to 1900 popu-
lation. Hardships of travel make
young physicians scarce. Better high
ways, he points out, will lead physi-
clans to go after country practice in
increasing numbers.

First Husband, Not Divorced,

Surrogate Daniel Noble of Queens

father, who died January "a. The let
tors will be turned over to Ernestine
Landman, of 244 Meade Street, the
widow.
Proceedings to obtain possession of
the letters of administration had been
brought by Mrs. Landman, claiming to
be the widow, with prior rights to the
estate.
Young Landman, in reply, alleged
that there was no proof that the pc
titioner was really his fathers widow.
His mother, he declared, was dead He
claimed that the petitioner. if she
were married to his father, had failed
to get a divorce from her first husband.
Mrs. Landman admitted that she had
been the wife Of Charles Heisseinger,
but said that he had deserted her in
1900 and that IS she had never seen
or heard of him in twenty years she
thought that he was dead and that she
was privileged to remarry. Surrogate
Noble decided that, even though Nei-
singer is now alive, the marriage of
Mrs. Heiseinger and Landman was not
void and that Mrs. Landman is the
widow.

To Fight Rio Crande Sale

Three distinct actions may be in
voked by the stockholders protective
committee to prevent consummation of
the sale of the Denver G. Rio Grande
recently ordered by the United States $
District Court in Omaha, according to
Jefferson NJ. Levy, chairman of the
committee, who said yesterday the fight
to prevent disposition of the property
on the terms defined would be carrie d
to the Supreme Court if necessary. A
decision in an appeal before the Unit
ed states Circuit Court is now pending
in ST. Louis.
If the decision in the appeal goes
against the stockholders, Mr.. Lew said.
1t would be carried higher on the ale
cation that the price is wholly made
quate, and that further action would be
brought on the contention that the
equity of redemption is inalienable and
the stockholders might redeem the road
upon the payment of $4,000 900, the
sale price in excess Of $126,OOO,OOO of
bonds, subject to the statutes of Colo
rado and New Mexico.
AS last recourse, ne declared, the
committee will bring an action against t
Tho directors on the ground that the

chasers under the order of sale. are

Ellis Island DELAYS
Unavoidable, Says
Surgeon General
Because of Irregularity in
Ships Arrival, Number Of
Me dical Inspectors Is
Based ON Average Run
From The Trs1ume's Washington Bureau

From, The Tri5une's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Delays and
temporary congestion at Ellis Island in
handling immigrants are unavoidable
Surgeon General Cumming, of the
United States Public Health Service,
declared to-day in answer to the crit-
cisms directed at his methods.
The nature Of the functions per-
formed said he. prevents uniform con-
ditions.
"Ships arrive irregularly." he said.
Zone day only few hundred immi-
grants appear; the following day sew
eral thousand. The best the service
can do is to provide medical examiners
to adequately handle the average num-
ber of arriving aliens so as to break
even month by month, and even to do
this is now taxing the personnel to
the utmost.
"The methods of examination at the
Port of New York are not very gener-
ally understood. Many think that the
work at Quarantine is duplicated at
Ellis Island. This, however, is not the
case. Examination at the Quarantine
station includes only inspection Of the
SHIPS bill of health, the records of
the ships doctors and general scrut-
my OF the crew and passengers in
order to ascertain that there are no
cases of smallpox, typhus, plague, or
cholera on board"
The second examination at Ellis
Island is to reveal whether any suffer
from physical or mental defects that
would interfere with their ability to
earn living, he explained.
This physical and mental examina-
ton Of aliens must be conducted as
carefully and as swiftly as possible,
shipboard," he added.
'At Ellis Island the work is systc-
matized so that one group of medical
officers examine he aliens as they en-
ter the island for the more obvious de-
fects, such as lameness, blindness and
similar deformities. Another group
examines suspected individuals, to de-
termlne whether they have kidney
trouble, lung trouble or similar or-
ganic defects. Still another group
consists of doctors who are specially
trained for mental examination.
"Obviously, some of these examina-
tlons call for privacy that is not avail
able on shipboard; and even if fa-
cllities could be provided in the
steerage quarters Of vessels this
method of examination would call for
the distribution of medical examiners
and immigration inspectors at widely
separated points in New York narbor
and would prevent the centralization
of the work that makes both for ef-
ficiency and economy
improvements in methods are con-
tinually being tried out at Ellis Island.
For instance, after January /. the date
fixed for transfer Of the New York
State quarantine to Federal control,
the quarantine examination and exam
ination Of alien crews Will probably
be combined, very markedly facilitat-
ing this part of the work.

Brooklyn Transit Cos.
Ask Change in Fares
New Tariffs Would Abolish Free
Transfers and Shorten the
Five-Cent Zone

Several new tariffs were filed recent
ly with the Public Service Commission n
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany, and one by the Brooklyn City
Railroad Company, all of which show
i'm mportant changes in operation and adj
dltinal fares for trips over various sur
face lines in the system. The new rates
will become effective January 13, 1921,
unless suspended by the commission.
In view of their Importance, it is
probable that the commission at its
meeting Tuesday night will order hear
ngs to investigate the reasonableness
CT the proposed changes. The lines
which may be affected are:
The Broadway line, the Fulton -Cres-
cent line, the Jamaica Avenue line, the
Reid Avenue line and the Utica Avenue
shuttle of the Brooklyn, Queens Coun-
ty & Suburban Railroad Company;
the Franklin Avenue line, the Smith
Street line, the Coney Island Avenue
line and the Park Slope line of the
-aney Island & Brooklyn Railroad
Company; the Sea Gate line of the
Coney Island & Gravesend Railway
Company; the Wilson Avenue line, the
Rockaway Parkway line and the West
End line of the Nassau Electric Rail-
road Company, and the Graham Ave-
nue. line of the Brooklyn City Railroad
Company.
In most instances the new tariffs pro-
vide for the disconHnuance of free
transfers from these lines and shorten
the five-cent fare zones so as to require
a double fare from passengers going
long distances
