JUDGE DENIES MOTION
IN BLIZZARD CASE

CHARLESTOWN, w. VA, May 10.
Judge j. NJ. Woods today overruled
a motion to direct verdict of mot
guilty in the case of William Biz
zard, mine union official, charged
with treason in connection with the
march against Logan county non
unicn strongholds in the coal fields OF
the state.
Taking up one by one in his de-
cision, the counts against Blizzard,
Judge Woods declared, first, that there
had been evidence sufficient for con-
sideration by the jury that was ex-
listed and had been levied ty the arm
ed men.
He also reviewed the argument that
treason against state was impos-
sible because of the division of au-
thority between state and federal gov
ernment and held that this position
could not be maintained
Judge Woods on the other defense
motion, limited the State as to the
overt act on which it relied to con-
vict the defendant to his presence
with the armed marehers in Logan
county.

NEW DEVICE SETS
A STANDARD FOR
SMOOTHER ROADS

How smooth should a contractor
reasonably be expected to make the
surface of road? Engineers of the
Bureau of Public Roads of the United
States Department of Agriculture
have devised an instrument for set
Ting this question. When passed
over the road it indicates the slight
est uneveness or roughness.
The instrument will be used to test
the surface on different types of road
Of good workmanship, thus determin-
ing a standard which contractors can
he held TO. Smoothness i'm road is,
of course, desirable for the comfort of
travellers, but il is also desirable for
other equally important reasons, say
officials of the bureau. The vertical
movement of a motor vehicle caused
by roughness wears the machine and
requires more power of the engine.

WINDS INTERFERE
WITH RIVAL CREWS
Oarsmen Of Naval Academy And
Syracuse Have To Be Con-
tent With Short Spins

High winds today kicked up a heavy
sea on Severn river and rendered con-
ditions very unsatisfactory for prac-
tice of the Syracuse Varsity. Junior
Varsity and Freshmen eight-oared
shell crews that arrived yesterday af-
ternoon to put in the finishing touches
in preparation for the races against
respective crews of the midshipmen
tomorrow afternoon.
The races will he over the courses
of two miles, and will be rowed separ-
ately. beginning with the Freshmen
brush and concluding with the main
Varsity event.
The Syracusans are a husky look
ing lot and indications are that they
will force the strong Navy crews to
extend themselves. There is little or
no prospect for the strong northwest
winds hauling down before nightfall:
hence the rival crews will have to
content themselves by engaging in
short sprints in the basin OF College
Creek, as was done by the visiting
crews this morning. The Syracuse
Varsity eight is said to be somewhat
heavier than the Navy's big senior
crew, but the latter are in superb
condition and are counted upon to
win.

RAIN OF HAIL CLIMAX
TO STORM FROM EAST

Hailstones, some as large as mar
bles, fell during a heavy downpour of
rain, accompanying thunder squall
which broke over the city between
l0:S0 and IL o'clock last night. The
shower came as climax to the rain
storm from the northeast that had
prevailed for the the last SO hours
The rain of hail, however. was not
sufficient to cause damage to crops. or
in other respects. AT least no reports
of damages have been received. Fol-
lowing the shower, the wind hauled
around to the northwest, blew the
storm out to sea, with the resultant
clear and cooler weather that prevails
today. Indications are that pleasant
weather will continue over Sunday.
