staged during the past winter most
remarkable comeback. His Amer
lean tour has been the most wonderful
triumph ever won by musician. He
has surpassed even his triumphs OF
the Nineties.
And Paderewski is sixty-two!
When the tour was in preparation
Insurance was sought. Not an insur-
ance company in all the world would
listen to him. Even Lloyd's, which Will
take IA chance on almost anything, re-
fused him.
1t is to laugh. Paderewski at sixty
two gave 20 recitals. He Travelled
$4,000 miles in private car. He dis
likes to be "entertained.' but there
were social invitations pressed upon
him which he could not Ignore. His
principal trouble was TO find halls big
enough to hold his audiences. His big
gest audience was one of 1000 in San
rancisco-receipts $24,50O. In three
recitals in New York the receipts were
$4,000; for two in Chicago, $21,OOO;
for two in Los Angeles, $lS,494; for
three in Boston, $24,500. and for one
In Cleveland, $15,341.
The gross receipts Of the tour which
no company would insure were
S5OO,0O0!
When Clemenceau was in New York
at the Gibson home, Paderewski ap-
peared and begged to see the great
Frenchman. 1t was late and the "ri-
ger" was in bed.
Just the same, the Tiger was de-
lighted. "Of course. At once. Why,
I would see this great man In bed"
They met In the center of Clemen-
ceau's chamber, embraced and put lip
to cheek, after the continental custom.
After their chat the Frenchman said /:

Clemenceau was delighted. Leading
the Pole by the hand he almost danced

household to "come and hear; come
and hear"

Establishes Road Worth.
This device which is being installed
on the Washingt0n-B Baltimore road was
thought out in the bureau Of public
roads.
"The value that such a record will
have Is most obvious" said Dean A. N.
Johnson of the engineering department
of the university. 1T will give a basis
for determining the economic worth OF
our roads and, indicate into what our
highway transportation is developing"
Work Is In progress at the univer-
sity at present of celebrating the ap-
paratus, casting the slabs of which will
form the covering, and otherwise get
ting everything In readiness for the
installation.
This first installation will be expert
mental, for the purpose of perfecting
and developing the apparatus. When
installed the roadway will be unim-
paired, the concrete slabs, which will
form the covering, being so laid as to
preserve intact the original surface.
This is highly important in order that,
as the traffic rolls over the apparatus,
there will be no inequalities in the sur
face which would induce the impact

Show Highways Repay Cost.
The United States bureau Of public
roads produces figures based on a sur
vey Of traffic In Connecticut to prove
that good road soon repays all it

the Boston post road showed that the

ton of E c Stigall, who while active

to go on trial in Fulton Superior court
the first week in September on a MUIR
der charge as result, will be left en-
tire in the hands of Solicitor General
John A. Boykin, of the Atlanta Judi
clal Circuit. Mr.. Boykin, who is rec
ognized as one of the most vigorous
court prosecutors in the South gained
national prominence several years ago
in unearthing the notorious bunco
ring, which case is still before the pub

ments in the CAPTURE of alleged mem
bers of the ring. Lem Gleason, alleg-
ed member of the gang, who was
traced for many months by detectives
from Solicitor Boykin's office, has just

ia solicitor will take full charge of the
Stigall prosecution has just been made
by Mrs. Hames, widow of the slain
detective, following reports that other
attorneys had been employed in the
case. Mrs, Hames called to see Solicit
tor Boykin and during the course of
the interview the solicitor promised
Mrs. Hames that he would prosecute
the case to the limit.
Il have the greatest confidence in
Mr.. Boykin," Mrs Hames said as she
lett the solicitors office. "All that
and other members of my family want
is justice. That should and will be
DONE Mrs. Hames took occasion to
thank the many lawyers who offered
to assist Mr. Boykin free of charge.
Mrs. Hames was in conference with
the Solicitor for more than an hour.
this being the first time that she has
been out since the burial of her hus-
band Monday week ago. She was
dressed in simple black dress and
1er face was hidden beneath the folds
Of long black veil. She was very calm
and composed as she talked to the
solicitor and went over with him
number of affidavits and evidence al
'eady in Mr.. Boykin's hands.
