today among the tortuous mountain
pathways of the region near Tepic
as federal troops sought to locate
the bandit captors of j. E. BristOw,
American mining man.
Rumors that Bristow had been
slain were discounted by the United
States Consul here. He said he be-
lieved the outlaws would protect
Bristow's life as their surest de-
fense.
Reports said troops had sighted
the bandits at one stage in the pur-
suit. They had not fired, fearing
to expose Bristow to greater dan
ger, and again lost sight of their
quarry in the rough mountainous
region.
Bristow was kidnapped over two
week ago.

VALLEY ROADS IN
HIGHWAY SYSTEM
Extensive Program OF
improvements Given
Approval

LOS ANGELES, April 3. U.p)-
'lans to include more than 400
miles of county roads in Southern
California in the state highway
system today were a step nearer
realization with the tentative ap.
proval of Director B. b. Meek Of
tie state department of public
works.
Speaking before the southern
council of the California State
Chamber of Commerce here yester-
Jay, Director Meek expressed a ia
vorable attitude toward the propos
81.
Secondary roads could be added
to the highway system without
hampering the maintenance of roads
now in use, he said. and without in.
terfering with 10-year construc
ton program which Meek believes
will give this state the finest net
work of highways in the country.
The state official declared that
California s highway construction
program entails expenditures
amounting to approximately So,
100000 for the next two years, be-
ginning July l. This sum is to be
divided equally between southern
ard northern California.
According to Meek, some 500
miles of additional secondary roads
lave been studied and part of this
mileage may be included in the list
to be given Governor c. c. Young
as approved, during the next few
weeks.
Surveys Already Made
He set an estimated limit of 600
miles which can be taken into the
highway system at present. Added
indication that the inclusion pro.
posal has progressed favorably was
given with Meek's statement that
traffic counts and surveys have been
made on the highways in the group
tentatively approved for the sys-
tenn.
Listed in the road group now pro-
POSED as part of the state highway
g stem are:
Beaumont to Riverside, "a miles;
FL Centre to Calexico, 10 miles.
New roads aud other secondary
highways suggested as additions to
the system and now under consider

a new mark for himself. He failed.
however, to closely approach the world
record of more than IA hours in Ger
many. Bowlus, whose previous record
was hours IA minutes and 3 seconds,
set new American mark of 9:5:27.
BoWlus, who took off from Point
Iona, near here, in sailplane of his
own make, at 5:35 pm, yesterday,
landed in a roadway approximately is
feet from the point where he went into
the air.
A west wind of between Is and 20
miles an hour velocity, which aided him
during the early hours of the flight,
suddenly shifted to the north after 2
am, and finally forced him down. He
made perfect landing in the narrow
roadway. He was cold and weary.
Bowlus carried a sealed barograph
and was started on his flight by an ON
cial timer. The Paragraph will be
checked to establish the official time In
the air, and If found correct the new
American record of hours minutes
and 81 seconds will be recorded.
1t was Bowlus who interested Col.

COYLE SCORES USE
OF SOFT COAL HERE
Representative BIameS Hood
of Bureau of Mines in
Urging Anthracite.

In urging the use of anthracite coal
by the Government IN the District OF
Columbia, Representative Coyle, Re-
publican, Pennsylvania, charged in the
House today that DIR. Ozni P. Hood OF
the Bureau of Mines, had done more
to black the fair face of washington
through the use of soft coal than any
one man.
Coyle said that the use of anthracite
coal in Washington instead of soft
coal and fuel oil would restore the
beauty of the buildings which have
been covered with smudge and smoke.
ITO the attempts of one man, rather
strongly entrenched in a bureaucratic
chair in Washington" Coyle declared.
II ascribe responsibility for much of
the cloudy of dingy, dirty smoke that
dirtieS our marble buildings of the Ma
tfonal Capital and permeates to the
capillary tubes of your bronchial area.
That gentleman's insistent work has
been to open the foodgates of smoke,
boom the business of the laundry and
dry cleaning establishments, and tons
of paint to plaster on what hitherto
would have been white surface except
for his dirt, until the fair name OF
Washington becomes in fact more
smoky IMAM any smoky city which for
merly was by-word."
Recalls Clean Days.
The Pennsylvania said that he knew
the City of Washington when the maze
of smoke that hangs over the Capital
had not obliterated the blue sky, and
declared that it was not fair to the peo-
pie of the United States to put one man
in position to "blacken the fair faces
of Washington and spread a Smudgey
smoke over Capitol Hill in the way that
Or. Hood of the Bureau of Mines has
done"
"Of all the cities in the country" he
said, Washington ought first of all to
take advantage Of this ideal fuel for
heating and for power generation
where smoke is particularly objection
able. If it cost any more for the work
it does, then the householder might be
excused for seeking to save the differ
ence. But since it is in fact in itself
not only the most economically sound
but the most economically cheap, fuel
for use in this particular area, there
certainly Is no excuse for the pail that
daily settles over the city.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the Park and Planning Commission
would prevent-and rightfully prevent
the installation of tall stacks for fac
tory power houses perforating our sky

HUGHES DONS ROBE
AS CHIEF JUSTICE
Taft's Successor Is Indicted
Into Office in Brief
Ceremony.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The oath of Office was administered
to Charles Evans Hughes at 1906 pm.
today at the beginning of the short
ceremony attending his induction into
Office as Chief Justice.
The pledge was administered in the
robing room of the court in the presence
Of the other justices.
Immediately afterward members of
the court filed across the corridor into
the court room itself for completion of
the ceremony.
1t fell to Justice Holmes to announce
from the bench the resignation of Will
liam Howard Taft and the appoint
ment of Mr. Hughes as his successor
and to direct the clerk to administer a
second judicial" oath to the new Chief
Justice.
Only a short and severely simple
ceremony in the historic old chambers
OF the highest court attended the in
duction. Mr.. Hughes took the prelim-
mary oath OF constitutional allegiance
in the court robing room, with only
members of the court present.
Then, as the black-robed justices as
sembled on the bench for the begin
ming of new term, he stood at the
clerks desk in crowded court cham
Der and recited the pledge to sit in
Judgment impartially, and do equal
right to the poor and the rich"
Nomination Caused Battle.
That ended the ceremony. The court
proceeded with the days work,
Chief Justice Hughes nomination was
confirmed by the Senate in the face of
bitter attacks upon his economic views.
Mr.. Hughes stood ready to repeat the
oath, prescribed by tradition and be-
come the eleventh officer to preside over
the highest tribunal of the Nation.
Meanwhile, William Howard Taft. the
man whom he succeeds and who as
President appointed him 20 years ago to
an associate justiceship on the supreme
bench, lay stricken by an illness which
forced him to relinquish his high Office
and which his friends fear will cause
his death.
Justice reported today that their dis
tinguished patients condition was vir-
tually the same.
The bulletin, signed by DR.. Thomas A.
Clayton and DR.. Francis r. Hagner and
issued through the White House, read:
The former Chief Justice had a COM
Portable night. There is no material
change In his condition"
In all the highest tribunal had inter-
rupted its routine for just six minutes to
mark the transition from the tenth to
the eleventh Chief Justice of the United
States.
The pause included, however, a solemn
moment heavy with sadness as Justice
Holmes, standing beside the empty chair
at the center of the bench, announced
I formally the resignation of William
Howard Taft because of the critical i'll
ness which now keeps him in seclusion.
Hughes Takes Vacant Chair.
His successor assembled and took the
vacant place with firm step, the pic
