SEEKS GOOD ROADS
FOR THE FARMERS
Maryland State Senator
Would Put Highways Under
State Control.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE. December 20-ln an
farmers off the main highways OF
the state roads State Senator Orlando
Harrison of Worcester county. Will
submit a bill to the. legislature when
it meets in January putting control
of every foot of public highways in
the state under control of the state
roads commission. This will, IL adopt
ed, entirely eliminate the county road
engineers and the more or less make
shift road organizations that are main
tanned by most of the counties.
The new plan will cut out what Is
generally recognized as tho biggest
source of waste of the taxpayers
money, by taking politics absolutely
out of all future road building in the
state.
1910 Miles Of Roadway.
There are 1910 miles of improved
and unimproved roads In the counties
| outside the roads in the state roads
system. Most of this county mileage
| Is Of unimproved or dirt roads. 1t is
| on these dirt roads that most of the
county appropriation for roads main
| tenance is spent. Senator Harrison
| contends that most of the money so
| spent IS wasted. and that the tax
| payer gets no real benefit from 1t.
| Senator Harrison says he expects a
great deal of opposition from the poll
] tlclanS IN the counties TO MS PROPOSE
| tion. but he also expects the backing
of the taxpayers generally and the
| taxpayers organizations in all parts
of the state.
| Sees Merit in Plan.
! While he was reluctant to take a
positive stand on the proposed legis-
| lation, Chairman John n. MackalI of
the state roads commission admitted
that he thought there was merit in
! the Idea. and that a plan which would
| commission and the county .commis-
| sioners would prove both economical
and satisfactory, as well as providing
better lateral roads in all parts Of the

BEAT AUSTRIAN PATROLS.
Great Meeting in Protest Of Plebi-
scite Hold In Vienna.

VIENNA. December. IA great
meeting Of protest was neld today
against the Oedenburg plebiscite. The
speakers denounced the allied military
commission as pro-Hungarian for hav-
ing refused to postpone the vote on the
question Of whether the territory should
remain Hungarian or become Austrian
after the postponement had been sane
toned by the interallied commission
at Paris.
The Neue Freie Presso quotes Cen
Carlo Ferraris Of the Itlaian mis-
sion as saying that Hungary refused
to consent to the postponement, and also
as declaring that II Austria persists in
her refusal to recognize the plebiscite
it would be regarded as q casus belli.
The official figures show that the vote
was IS per cent in favor of Hungary.
Three Austrian patrols have been cap
tured In neutral territory by Hungarians
snd beaten and otherwise naltreated
This has caused intense resentment by
the newspapers. The press regards the
entire incident concerning Rurgen-
land as foreshadowing further trouble.

calling upon all the churches in tie

followed statement of conditions
made to them by the health officer
who asserted the sewer system was
not being sufficiently cleansed by the
present water supply to afford proper
safeguards against disease.
Enforced curtailment in consump-
tion has resulted in very slight gain
in the meager reserve but it is yet
impossible to restore normal pres

COMMUNISTS IN
THIS COUNTRY

Paris, Oct. 21.-A French police
official asserted today that more than
100 members of the young Commun-
its organization in Europe have slip
ped through immigration lines and
reached U. S. during last few months
for the purpose of causing trouble"
If the two Italians were executed for
the murder of which they were con-
victed in Massachusetts last Summer.
Many of these men the officials
said had applied for passports to the
American passport bureau in Paris
and had been refused after an in
quiry into their eases but later were
able to get to America by other
means. Police now are working on
the theory that some of these who
failed to get through the lines were
responsible for the bomb sent to the
American ambassador to France.
