Highway Committee
Prepares Road Bill
Provides for Commission to be Ap-
pointed by Governor to Super
wise Road Work,

The public highway committee has
prepared bill governing road build
ing and maintenance of the state, in
Guiding the trunk and state aid, coun-
ty and town roads. 1t has evidently
been drawn with great care, and
comprehensively covers the road pro-
blem of the state. 1t provides for a
commissioner Of highways, to be ap-
pointed by the governor, and who can
be removed by the governor,for just
cause, and the commissioner can ap-
point his assistants, and remove them
for adequate reasons. The commits
sioner is given full control of the
trunk highways of the state under
amendment No. (now the 10th
amendment to the constitution); the
commissioner and the county COM
missioners have authority over the
state aid roads, the county commits
sioners over the county roads, and
the town supervisors over the town
roads. d..
All the public roads shall be four
rods wide and the power of condem-
nation is given the authorities to pro-
cure land for road purposes, when
necessary. w.. ..
All bridges and culverts shall be at
least 16 feet wide. A railroad bridge
over a highway shall be % feet wide,
and IA feet in the clear above the
roadway. A highway bridge over a
railway crossing shall be 1S feet
wide, and Fl feet in the clear over
the railroad tracks, and the approach
to such bridge shall not be more than
five feet rise to the 100 feet, (This
would make the approach for an
overhead crossing over 400 feet, and
would be an easy grade.)
The salary of the highway COM
missioner shall be $4,000 a year and
the commissioner can fix the salaries
of his first and second assistants, but
not in excess of $4,000. The COM
missioner and his assistants shall de-
vote all their time to the duties of
their office.
1t also provides that where a trunk
line passes through city or village
and where it is desired that the paw
ing be wider than that prescribed by
the highway commissioner and the
municipal authorities can enter into
an agreement with the highway
commissioner for the construction of
wider highway, and the highway
commissioner may pay such sums to-
wards the construction as may be ag-
reed upon. s~.....
The bill is quite lengthy, covering
4S printed. pages, and covers all the
details of the road systems of the
state.

A CORRECTION

Secretary E. M. Gillig of the Fair
Association calls our attention to an
error in the story regarding the petit
tion circulated concerning the night
sessions. Reference was made to the
Gradatim Club as favoring street
fairs. This is an error, the report of
the club to Mr. Gillig merely en-
bodies the statement that the club
asks to go on record as Opposed to
evening entertainment on the fair
grounds" Mr.. Gillig also states that
reference made to confning the night
exhibitions on Third street was not
his or the fair boards conclusion but
merely reference to opinions rem
dered by persons outside of the as
ISOLATION. The Herald is very pleased
to correct these errors which may
have tendency to leaving a false
impression.

PRINCETON CAPTAIN
 IS FORCED TO QUIT
Allen SWede Gives Up Track Team Leadership Because of Rheumatic
 AttacL-Sjtrickcn in Service

Princeton, Nov. 9.-The greatest long distance runner Princeton has ever had, Allen Swede, has at last given up his fight of 3 years against rheumatism and resigned his captain cy of the cross- country team this afternoon. Swede holds the two mile
 From his days at prep school Swede record here in the fast time of 9;30. was a crack at the longer distances, being the holder of the interscholas- tic cross country championship for three consecutive years. He also cap tured the schoolboy indoor mile and half mile records. All of his perform ances still stand except the half which Link Adams, now at Princeton, bet tered the following year.
 The rheumatic trouble started when Swcde was a lieutenant in the army during the war and was stationed at Camp Lee, Virginia. His home is at Norriston, Pa, and he entered Prince ton from the Mcrcersburg Academy going to the latter place from West | Philadelphia High school.
 Specialists in New York have failed for three years to diagnose the trouble but Al is still attempting to get into shape for track events next spring.

TO HEAR FATE SOON
Judge Landis Intends to Dispose of Ruth, Meusel and Piercy Barn. stOrming Cases Shortly.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Judge Landis, commissioner of baseball intends to dispose of the cases of Babe Ruth and the other two members of the pennant winning Yankees who Vio- lated baseball law by participating in exhibitions as soon as he hears what the offending players have to say for themselves
 Indications today were that the de- cision may be expected before the end of the week.
 Leslie O'Conner, secretary of the baseball commission said that a ques- tionnaire had been sent to Ruth, Bob Meusel and Bill PierCy which would give them a chance of explaining their violation of the major league been received from any of them.
 Baseball observers were of the opinion today that if the three of lenders, fail to communicate with Judge Landis their punishment is likely to be more severe than orig inally planned.
 The questions asked by Judge Lan- dis it is understood are in the na- ture of an examination, as the com missioner desired to know what in huenccs prevailed upon the trio in the face of the warning given them be- fore they started on their barnstorm- ing trip.

RUTGERS EASY
 FOR BOOSTERS
Notre Dame Piles Up 2S Points
 Against Scarlet Team

New York, Nov. 9.--Notre Danes delegation Of football tourists need ed only a minute or so to put over enough points to beat Rutgers in the election day game at the Polo Grounds yesterday aiternoon on the first play, following the kickoff. one of the HoOsicr backs scampcred around the end for a O. yard run and touchdown. There after it was the same old question for Rutgcrs-nOt which team, but how much, Later developments showed the amount of the damage to be 4S to o.
 The game was one of those things that are bound to crop up even in the best of football seasons. 1t was full of all kinds of football, ranging from long, dazzling runs to fumbling and ineptncss that would have put a schoolboy team to shame. From the opening whistle Rutgers found itself up against q team that knew more football, was better coached, had better man power and was su pcrior in every department of play.
 Only once in the sixty minutes of play did Foster Sanlord's scarlet-clad eleven threaten the Notre Dame goal line, and before the Rutgers cheer ing section had finished roaring over this flash of power the opportunity had been thrown to the winds by bad generalship. The New Jersey ad- vance occurred near the end of the second quarter, after Notre Dame had run up a total of 27 points. With the ball near middlefield. Red mond, halfback, pluclscd a long for ward pass from the air and covered 80 yards before he was brought to earth. Before the HOOsiers could re- cover from this unexpected thrust the same player went over to the other side of the field and made an almost impossible catch of another aerial fling, this time taking the pig skin to Notrc Danes 5-yard chalk line.
 It looked like a touchdown for the lads from Raritan, but Quarterback Maloncy had other ideas about it. Instead of using line smasheS to coV- CT the few yards remaining, he elect ed to fling another of those highly suc- cessful passes. But the toss was wide and wild, and it grounded on the other side of the goal line. Notre Dame took the ball on the 2O-yard line, and the Rutgers stands groaned the only thing they could do.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov, 9,-Evory Harvard varsity football player who started the game against the Tigers at Princeton Saturday was granted another day off from practice ycstcr- day afternoon and, in addition, Ladd, who substituted for Tierncy late in the game, was told to wait until to- morrow before starting work. How cver all the other players were out on Soldiers Field brushing up plays In dummy scrimmage,
 Work was started in earnest for the Yale game. Bill Blake, the scout helping to get the scrubs ready to work on the Yale plays. On Friday there probably will be a little drilling in anticipation of the coming of the Brown team, but there will be no let up in the preparations for the Grim sons final match with the Blue.
 Today all the regulars were at the field, but CroCkcr, Tierney and Co., burn did not do any work. The others are all right, and Dr. Nichols states that the team will be in lot better condition for the Yale game than it was for the Princeton game and also will have the services of both Chapin and Gehrke, the injured backtield men.
 Today Percy Haughton visited the field and looked over the attack that Tommy Campbell is preparing for his freshman team, which will play the Yale yearlings at New Haven on Sat urday.

0'HEARN SHINES
 AT Ell PRACTICE
Charley Scores Touchdown After
 BeCket and Murphy Fail

New Haven, Nov. 9.-On the next to the last day of scrimmaging before the Ellis meet Princeton two sets of varsity men were tried out against the scrubs in the Bowl yesterday The players were put through their paces for an unusually long period, the scrimmage lasting for upward of 40 minutes.
 Blair and Mike Eddy, on the in iured list, will definitely be out of the running against the Tigers on Saturday. Their places will be taken by Human and Sturm and possibly Lincoln and Denver, Both the in- jured men, however, have attended practice regularly in their football togs.
 Al Into, the tackle, who has been out of the game for some time with a minor injury, was back in his place, and probably will be used against Princeton. Herr, the guard, who also has been handicapped by injury, will be in shape to play Saturday. Both men scrimmaged yesterday for few minutes.
 The feature of the play was the single touchdown made by Charlie OHearn, who ran the team at quar- terback after Beckett and Murphy had failed to produce any results against the second team. O'Hearn, who got into action just after taking the place of Murphy, ran the ball around left end for @ touchdown from the five yard line.

LIGHT WORKOUT
 AT PRINCETON
Men in Great Condition for Yale
 Game Saturday

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 9.-Prnce- tons varsity football eleven had only a light workout yesterday afternoon, in spite of the fact that there are only two more days for home prac- tice before the concluding game of the season with Yale Saturday. The men are uniformly in such good con dition that keene Fitzpatrick figured they would profit more by signal drill than by q sCrimmagc.
 Stan Neck, Ed Stinson and Al Witt mcr of the regulars were given leave of absence yesterday in order to rest. Nat Poe declared that all will face the Ellis Saturday. The loss of any one of them would be a severe blow to the Tigers! Stnson was given a va cation because he had attended every single practice all season and was due for a lay-off. Keck and Wittmer were bruised in the Harvard game, but Poe says they will be on hand tomorrow.
 Jack CIeaves and Ralph Gilroy, neither of whom had appeared Mon day, were in uniform yesterday and went through the signal drill with the rest of the varsity. Non Schilling took keck's place at tackle, Scott was at end instead of Stinson and Lips comb at center instead of Wittmer, making the first lineup.
 The Princeton squad, consisting probably of about forty men, will leave Friday morning for New Ha- ven, and will drill in the Stadium Friday afternoon. The men will spend Friday night in Derby, return ing to the bowl at noon Saturday for the game.

TRINITY IS BEATEN
New York University Team Displays
Best Form of Season, Downing Hartford Eleven 2S to 0.

New York, Nov. 9.-Showing the best brand of football yet displayed this season, New York UniVersity's big Violet team defeated Trinity yes terday by the score of 2S to O. The game was the annual clash between these two colleges, relations having been established in 1895. The two colleges are now tied with five games each. Three tie games are also on the record. The game attracted about ten thousand football enthus- lasts.
 It was NewYork'sg anne through out. The big Violet team, headed by Jack Weinheimer, ably assisted by a snappy backfeld, crashed through the Trinity line almost at will Sehres, at quarterback, showed eX- cellent generalship in mixing an overhead attack, off tackle plays, end runs, and lateral passes. Every for ward pass was completed. Where a short pass over the line was gener- ally used by N. Y. IT., a long pass, Sehres to Taylor or Adams, also prov ed successful. Trinity loosened on aerial attack during the latter part of the game.
