Thirty-three firms bid on the Hazleton
bridge which is to he an 1.sOO feet steel
structure with concrete approaches. The
average bid on the project was S30S,5B3 20
and the engineers estimate was $751;

after year for many years, which are

When Franz Frey died Mrs. Frey took

been found, shall not be repeated
These references are to the future, but
no intimatiOn is contained in the state
ment as to what action will be taken

STATEMENT GIVEN
CAREFUL SCRUTINY.
The typewriter statements were taken
to Mr.. Daugherty in his room at the
CIaypOoI Hotel by a member Of his
large retinue 'fOr correction" it was
explained to the newspaper men wait
ing in the hallway outside the door.
About twenty minutes later, with only
two apparent corrections, they were
brought out and distributed. Almost i'm
mediately before the statement could
be read carefully, the Attorney General
appeared and headed for the elevator in
a great hurry TO get to his train. Be
cause of this fact it was impossible to
question him at any length as to inter
pretations of certain parts OF the state
ment or as TO any further action he
might contemplate.
He was very cordial, but in a hurry.
and he stopped only long enough in the
hallway TO make an emphatic denial Of
this case might in any manner be af
fected BIS political or personal affilia-
tions with any OF the defendants.
Ever since Mr.. Daugherty became a
member Of President Harding's cabinet
there has been a steadily growing belief
in many quarters that he eventually
would take steps toward the dismissal OF
the cases pending before Judge Anderson.
It was to the publication of these re-
ports that he took exception.
To see that nothing Illegal is done at
any conference. the Government may
take a hand in such a meeting for the
statement reads: a little more cOnsid
Grafton. I may say. will be given by the
Government in connection with whatever
agreement, il any, is entered into, while
the negotiations are taking place. This
may prevent embarrassments and pro-
ceedings afterward."
The statement follows;
HERE Is HIS
STATEMENT.
when I came here I had not deter
mined that the Government should in
stitute any proceeding or take any action.
legal or otherwise. Perhaps no legal &C
ton By the Government will be neces-
sary in the coal strike dispute 1t must
be distinctly understood that the Gov
eminent at no time has opposed a meet
ing between the miners and the operators
and at such meeting doing any lawful
thing. The Government supposed that
there would be a meeting some time long
enough before March 81 for the parties
to agree upon a legitimate program, but
there is no way the Government can
force a meeting between citizens. nat
uraI or corporate. who have the discre-
ton to transact their own business with
in lawful lines.
1.-THE Government did not oppose
meeting. nor did It object to any lawful
thing being done at a meeting, but the
Government will not permit an unlawful
thing TO be done at any meeting that is
held at any time and the Government
will not trade its right and duty to pros
ecute violations of the law, no matter,
how much peace is promised.
THE Government is too big, too digni-
fed. and too fair to barter its obligations

things done at these meetings, time and
time again, are not repeated, miners will
get fair return for their labor, operators
will get a fair return on their invest
ments, and the consumer will get the
product he is entitled to at fair price.
COUNTRY TIRED
OF COMPROMISES.
1.-THE country is tired Of compromises,
pensive to the country and the consuming
public. We are in favor of a settlement
of these propositions on fair lines and in
a positive way, in order that the Gov
eminent will not be compelled to inter-
fere with business. The Government does
not desire to interfere, and will not IN
terfere with any legitimate business
transacted in a legitimate way, but the
Government will not let illegitim@te ousl-
ness interfere with it, meeting or no
meeting.
For many years, as the time expired
for these so-called meetings, the country
was the innocent victim of these BIZ
annual meetings and pretended virtuous
adjustments The Government recog-
nizes that stability is necessary, and is
willing to protect each of these parties
In the performance of legitimate and
lawful pursuits on the one hand, and to
prevent their doing an unlawful and i'm
proper thing to the detriment of the
Government, and all of the people of the
country, on the other hand. A little
more consideration l may say will be
given by the Government in connection
with whatever agreement, if any, Is
entered into, while the negotiations are
taking place. This may prevent en-
barrassments and proceedings after
wards.
az am returning to Washington this
evening, perfectly satisfied with the sit
uation, so far as the Government is con-
cerned. l have had satisfactory con-
ferences with judge Anderson and
others, and if anything is done here In
connection with any court proceeding it
will, of course, be done in open court"

HOME TALENT PLAY TO BE
PRESENTED AT ARMORY
St. Edwards Dramatic Society Will
Give Second Performance
fhis Evoninu

St. Edwards Dramatic Society Will
Give Second Performance
this Evening.
The members of St. Edwards ORA
matte society will present "An Old
Fashioned Mother" drama in three
acts, this Thursday evening at the
armory. It is an intensely interest
ing story about a mothers love for
her children and the sacrifices moth
err is ready to make for those who are
dearest to her. This theme always ap-
peals to the nobler feelings of the hui
man heart and has added much to the
popularity of this production.
Deborah is mother true to life and
her unselfish love for her children pre-
sents many dramatic situations. The
antics Of Jerry and Lowizy Custard
furnish merriment and fun galore.
Several popular songs under the direc-
ton of the "Widder" are rendered by
the Village choir.
The members of St. Edwards dra-
matte society are working hard to do
justice to this play and assure all
who come, a pleasant evening. In view
of the fact that it is long time since
a home talent play has been given in
Princeton, preparations are being
made to entertain large audience.

BONDS WOULD
SPREAD COST
Babc0ck Advocates Plan That Will
Provide for Payment on I'm
pr0vements Each Year.

Highway bond issues alone will al
low the state to apportion to each year
its proportionte cost of bridges, grad
ing and other permanent improve
ments, Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, asserted in a re-
cent address. Otherwise, he said,
present highway users must pay the
full cost of their own and future users
road improvements. By issuing bonds
this generation can provide for perma-
nent improvements, many of which
will last for some time, and pay it's
share of the cost.
Minnesota is using nearly half its
current trunk construction funds to
buy right-of-way and for grading,
thing and other permanent works, the
permanent foundations of the high
way SYSTEM" said Mr.. Babcock. "1n
the future it will be necessary only to
re-surface these roads at long inter
walls. The highway department pro-
poses to recommend first trunk high
way bond issues to the next legisla-
ture because it knows that they afford
the only way Of fairly dividing be-
tween the present and the future the
permanent road building expense.
without affecting decreases in
road taxes, which started when the
state took over the trunk highways
for improvement with motor vehicle
funds and federal aid, the bond plan
will mean immediate benefits and
profits from present expenditures. It
will put the state with respect to
roads in the same position as the man
who enjoys his home while paying for
it, and adopts the principle under
which the school districts always Dor
row funds for building that will serve
for many years."
Mr.. Babcock believes the bond
proposition will permit the public that
is building for future generations to
have fair amount of enjoyment from
the highways as it is paying for
them.
