BIG TRUCK FIRST
over NEW PAVING
Morgantown Avenue Was
Thrown Open to Traffic
Saturday. 8

rnaN
Morgantown avenue, which had
been in the hands of road contractors
since the first OF September, was
thrown open to traffic 4. Saturday
| and is now being trayersea quite gen
lerally. Rs
In August the City Board of Ar
fairs gave the contract for the con-
creting Of the road from the residence
Of DR., ]. A. Graham on that avenue 10
the entrance TO the old Fair grounds
TO a firm which failed to come up 10
contract, and as the work was not be-
ing speeded up as rapidly as they
wished the contract was relet TO the
Monongahela Construction company
which organization has made good
progress although badly hindered sssy
weather conditions.
Saturday Street and Water Com
missioners w. E. Arnett and Clyde
Morris and City Engineer S. B. suller
went to the thoroughfare with tne in
tenion OF opening it for traffic. AS
they neared the roadway they saw
the large truck of the Monongahela
Candy company endeavoring to make
the hill and after several fruitless at.
tempts the driver Was about to give IL
up. Just then the men stepped in to
remove the bars which had held the
avenue closed TO traffic, and this
truck was the first one to pass over
the new conct,te thoroughfRre.
Soon other trucks were ilyersing
the roadway and farmers. and other
suburban residents for the first time
in - nths were enabled to come to
Town without going through seas OF
mud.
Tho job. according to City Engin-
eer Miller and Directors Arnett and
Morris, is a,good one, and when the
weather conditions. will permit the
removal of mud and sand from the
surface will present splendid ap-
pearance. Just now, however, while
good road hard and spIndid for trav-
ell, 1t does not present very attrac-
tive exterior.
The roadway is sixteen feet wide
and the contract calls for the concret-
ing OF thirty-one hundred feet of
roadway. Some 200 feet have been
completed. though there remains in
front of the residence Of Attorney j.
A. Meredith and near the railroad
tracks a distance Of some 400 feet
which will be completed as soon as
the weather will permit.
The news that the Choroughfare Is
now open 10 general traffic will be
hailed with delight, as the residents
of the outlying districts have expert
enced considerable difficulty in reach
ing the city during the past four
months.
The paving OF the roadway, which
becomes almost impossible daring
the winter months, was made imper-
atiye by the big developments in that

THE GIRL.
Another Musical Comedy to Be Seen
Here Saturday Night.

Gleason Blocks The Rainbow Girl, a
musical comedy founded on a comedy
by Jerome K. Jerome, will be the of
fering at the Auditorium Saturday of
this week. 1t was Rennold Wolf who
wrote the book and lyrics and Louis A,
Hirsch who wrote the music. The sets,
four in number, were painted by Joseph
Urban.
Though claim is made that The Rain
bow Girl is distinctly a musical show,
presenting over twenty musical num-
bers with a numerous girl chorus, its
sponsors state that it sets a new style
in musical comedy entertainment equal
to that seen in straight drama Kath-
crime Shaw has the prima donna or
title role. Sam Sidman is the princi-
pal funmaker. He plays the character
of a bishop, or a ''bish," which is the
best thing he has done. An English
butler is introduced by Frank Earring
ton. He has played every comedy rolo
in Shakespeare and may be counted on
for a clever Characterization. G. George
Lydecker plays opposite Miss Shaw and
Gene Carlson has a part which gives
her personality full play. Others in
the east are Joseph Daniels, Jane Bur
by, Margaret Merriman, John Ellis,
Fred Solomon and the New Amsterdam
theatre, New York, cast.

in connection with his charge that a
"sIush fund.- of $15,000,000 was being
raised for the Republican campaign, and
personal affairs yesterday engaged Gov
ernor Cox, Democratic presidential can
didate.
Governor Cox received a telegram from
Senator Kenyon, Republican, Iowa,
chairman of the senate campaign fund in
vestigating committee, which resumed its
sessions yesterday at Chicago, request
ing information. No reply was made by
the governor as he had sent Senator
Reed of Missouri, a Democratic member
of the Kenyon committee, a telegram
promising to transmit information in the
near future.
In addition to the information to be
given to the committee, Governor Cox
said last night that he would make pub
lie other facts in his future addresses.
Declaring that he did not expect to
testify before the senate committee,
Governor Cox said:
81 will send matter to the committee
later. All of the information | have will
be given to the public, and therefore |
don't see any use in going before the
committee. | think also, that the COM
mittee will recognize that as a candidate
| should give it out in such manner as
I see fit, but 1 have no disposition, Of
course, to conceal anything from them.
81 will give out my information as ]
think the public interest demands and
1 think l should be the judge as to when
it is to be given"
Governo Cox added that no response
had come from Will H. HAYS, chairman
of the Republican national committee,
to his request for information regarding
the alleged division of the country by
the Republicans into subdivisions and
imposition of contribution quotas upon
each subdivision.
