Admits He Was .s
Sweetheart COnsuelO

New York, Nov. 24-[P)-Winthrop
Rutherfurd, descendant of Peter
Stuycesant, last Dutch governor Of
New York, was the young American
with whom Consuelo Vanderbilt was
in love when she married the Duke
of Marlborough in 1895, says the
New York World.
Yes" the World quotes Winthrop
Rutherfurd as saying. some 80 years
ago I knew Miss Vanderbilt and I
was one of her great admirers"
Mr.. Rutherfurd now is the owner
of a 1000 acre home in New Jersey
and another at Aiken, S. c.. and is
landlord likewise of numerous tene-
ments on the East Side of New
York.
The official report Of the annul-
ment proceedings before the Roman
Rota reveals that Consuelos moth
er, Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, command
ed her II year old daughter to marry
the Duke and broke up her love af-
fair with the American to whom she
is reported to have been secretly en-
gagged.
At the time he became an admirer
Of Consuelo Vanderbilt, Rutherfurd
was about So He was over six feet
tall, an athletic figure, and was con-
sidered handsome.
Before Consuelo'S engagement to
the Duke was finally announced by
her mother. says the World, it was
rumored that Rutherford at least
once asked her to marry him, but it
was not known until now that they
were ever engaged. His attentions
to her at the time were generally
noticed.
For seven years after the Marl-
borough Vanderbilt wedding, Ruth
erfurd remained bachelor. In 1902
when he was about 40, he married
Alice Morton, the youngest daughter
of Leyi p. Morton. governor of New
York in 1894. Mrs. Rutherfurd died
in 1917. In 1920 Rutherfurd was
married for the second time to Miss
Lucy p. Mercur.

Congressman File
Campaign Expenses
In Recent Elections

Washington, Nov. 24-(P)-The
biennial deluge of campaign expense
filings overlook house clerks today
when more than half of the mem
bers certified expenditure statements
as required by law.
1t was apparent from the figures
submitted that once past the pri-
maries in the south the rest is easy
for the Democrats. Only one of the
Alabama members reported any ex-
penditures, the exception being Rep
resentative McDuffie. who paid out
S314. In Georgia, an expenditure of
$50 by Representative Bell was the
only outlay for the delegation.
Among the vets and drys it was
shown that it cost Representative
Gallivan, Democrat, of Massachu-
sets, leading wet, no money to
wage a successful campaign, while
Representative Cramton, Michigan
an outstanding dry, had no expenses
to report.

KENT COUNTY DIRT ROADS TO
Be WORKED SYSTEMATICALLY
UNDER PLAN SUPERVISORS ARE
TO FOLLOW DEFINITE PLAN

If Scheme as Adopted Works Out
County Roads Should be Much I'M
proved Over What They Have Been
Kent County this year will launch
an entirely new plan of dirt road
building and maintenance, and the
Levy Court and County Engineer
Todd hope to very materially increase
the efficiency of the force of road
workers through the working of the
new plan. Under the old system each
supervisor in the several representa-
tive districts of the county has work
ed the roads as he saw fit; usually in
the early spring months when farm
work was impossible. Under the new
plan every supervisor is allotted a
definite sum of money and will work
under very definite plans which have
been formulated by the county engin-
eer.
The county has purchased one-man
graders and a five-ton roller. These
six new graders, with the four pre-
viously owned, makes ten graders now
owned by the county and available for
dirt road purposes. This number will
supply each representative district of
the county with one grader, which can
maintain five hundred miles of road
for two hundred days, making twenty
round trips each mile. The grades
will be used by ten road supervisors,
one in each of the ten districts of the
county. The other ten supervisors of
the county will use four-horse drags,
or the equivalent, maintaining the re-
naming five hundred miles of roads
for two hundred days, making twen-
ty round trips on each mile.
Each supervisor is allowed one la
borer for eighty days, or the equiv
alent, to install pipe, bramble, etc.
The county has four Case tractors,
each of which can grade one mile of
road in ten hours. Working these
tractors one hundred days, four hun
dred miles of road will be graded, and
the entire one thousand miles of road
maintained throughout the year at an
approximate cost of S47.OO per mile.
Heretofore the entire amount of
money allotted the road supervisors
of the county has been spent on the
roads during the spring months, and
the grading and other work has been
done according to the Individual ideas
of the twenty road supervisors, or,
perhaps, in twenty different ways.
But now four hundred miles of road
will be graded and the entire road
system of the county maintained ac-
cOrding to the plans of the new sys-
tenn as worked out by Engineer Todd.
Engineer Todd, under the new sys-
tenn, will be entirely responsible for
the road system of the county.

last week. At the time the confagra-
