.BABCOCK STARTS
WINTER PROGRAM
Minnesota's Own Movement For
"More Work-Better Roads"
Is Successful.
MAY TAKE s4,5OO,OOO
Call Made for Bids on First List of 27
Projects In Plans to Cut idIeness
and Hasten Needed Road
Building.

st. Paul-Minnesota' winter pro.
gram Of highway work to relieve un-
employment and speed needed high
way improvements was started in
earnest this week by Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
with call for bids on single paving
project and 26 gravel-surfacing jobs,
covering 800 miles on the trunk route
system. Other lists will be adver-
tised soon, the commissioner said, and
will include much grading and bridge
work. The tentative plan is to use
about $4,500,000 this winter for the
dual purpose of reducing idleness and
building up the trunk highway system.
Commissioner Babcock acted imme-
diately after congress voted the neces.
sary federal highway aida total of
$75,000,000 Of which Minnesota will
receive $2,130,000. The plans are de-
signed both to employ the largest pos
sible number Of men and teams and
to effect wide distribution of the pro-
jects that many localities may share
the benefits in proportion to their
needs. A few proposals were aban-
doned as not adapted to winter opera
tons. The first list of special work
includes a number of jobs which
would have been put on the regular
1921 schedules had the federal aid
been voted earlier, according to high
way officials. A movement is on foot
now to secure a federal appropriation
Of $100,0O0,00O annually during the
next five years to avoid future delays
and unnecessary suspension of high
way operations.
John H. Mullen, assistant commits
sioner and chief highway engineer,
after consultations with construction
and division engineers on availability
of materials, adaptability to winter
operations and other phases of pro-
posed work, gave out the first list.
Except the paving of the 25-mile
section of Trunk Highway No 1 be-
tween Mortified and Westcott, esti-
mated at 100000, all are gravelsur-
facing jobs. The map is an index
showing locations of the various pro-
jects according to the bold-face
numerals preceding the trunk high
way numbers:

Creditor Kills Minnesota Farmer.

Glencoe, Minn.-Constance Brader,
a farmer, was shot and killed by Ga
briel Forster, a farm laborer, at the
Cayott farm. Forster, who voluntarily
gave himself up to the authorities,
claimed that Brader owed him $1,000,
which he refused to pay. Forster, it
is said, met Brader at the Cayott
place and asked for the money, which
Forster says was due him for labor
and money loaned. Brader gave an
adverse answer, and Forster shot him
three times.

BIGHAM'S PLEA DENIED.
Rody Refuses to Grant Writ of Ha-
beas Corpus.

Columbia, May 12.-The state Su-
preme court, in an opinion handed
down this afternoon, refused to grant
the writ of habeas corpus asked by
Edmund D. Bigham, convicted at
Florence, March 2S, this year, of the
murder of Smiley Bigham, his broth
er, at Pamplico, Florence county. AT
the time Smiley Bigham was murder
ed. his mother, sister and his sisters
two adopted children were killed.
Edmund D. Bigham has been indicted
for the other alleged murders, but
has not been tried for them.
Through his attorneys, Blgham
pleaded that the court that convicted
him lacked jurisdiction, in that 1t
was held two days over the statutory
limit: or that it should have ended
March &c, but instead Judge R. w.
Memminger, continued it through
March %, when he was scheduled to
open court at Georgetown. The opin-
ion brushed this reasoning aside with
a question from the court which al
lows a Judge to extend the time of his
court for the trial of the cases, and
the chief justice has to appoint a
special Judge to open his other court.
Bigham's petition likewise contend
ed that, if the court granted his ha-
beas corpus plea, then he would have
to be freed; for, as he had already
been convicted by a jury, his life
could not be jeopardized for the same
offense bv another trial.

Unhappy Findings.

A popular novel has been drama
tized and all the critics declared that,
while dramatic art had not been
transgressed and all the scenes were
as true to life as in the novel some
thing was lacking. It was soon dis
covered what was the matter. The
story ended unhappily. What one
NAV like in literature, one doesn't in
dana.
So the third act was rewritten and
a joyous climax substituted. The ef-
feet was instantaneous. 1.-THE recep-
tion of the play" we learn, was
electric. Those who we're seeing 1t
for the first time we're thrilled with
this great exposition of American
life. Those who had seen it in its
first form marveled at the quicken
ing of the piece"
And yet the cognoscents agreed
with one voice that the story which
closed in unhappiness was the truer
art, with it's logical and inevitable
finale. Nevertheless, one of the noted
critics who came to the revised per-
formance said: "I'll have to admit
that I'm lowbrow. I like the accept
ed, tried forms better"
So that's the difference between the
drama and the novel. "Tess of the
d'Urbevilles" goes out in gloom, but
what a weak thing if Tess and Angel
Claire had lived happy ever after"

Dry Fourteen Years.

Paris-The Able Noreux, a lead

the next IA years will be dry. He
says that dry and wet periods alter

western Europe The wet and dry
periods, he considers, correspond to
the average number Of spots on the
sun, and by means of diagrams he
shows that the sun spot curve and
the rain curve at Paris for the last
100 years seem to bear some relation
to each other.
