HIGHWAY MATERIAL
FILLS MANY TRAINS
ROAD PROGRAM MAKES WORK
FOR MANY MEN ON RAILROADS
AND IN OTHER LINES-MANY
CARLOADS THIS YEAR.

The far-reaching consequences Oh
highway construction, as a means OF
relieving unemployment and business
depression, are indicated by figures re-
leased this week by Commissioner c..
M. Babcock, on freight shipments OF
road materials.
In 1890 the Minnesota Highway de-
partment used 4,587 carloads OF
cement, 8,406 carloads of sand, 1883
cars of crushed rock or gravel, AZ cars
| of calcium chloride, 137 cars of re-
inforcing steel and 1913 cars of equip
ment, in paving 284 miles of trunk
highway. The freight on these 24,933
carloads totaled $1,477,172. Out of an
average cost of $23,848 per mile for
finished pavement, 1913 represented
freight on materials. Sand and gravel
hauled from local pits by trucks are
not included.
This year, with paving program OF
425 miles, it is estimated that the rail-
roads will carry 37,400 carloads OF
paving material, for which they will
receive $2,215,OO0 in freight charges.
In addition to this there will be about
1000 carloads of bridge material, about
5000 cars of tile, culvertS, and culvert
material for use on grading projects,
$500 cars of oil, tar and asphalt for
bituminous gravel treatment, and about
1000 cars of gravel for road Surfacing
where gravel cannot be obtained from
local pits. Guard rails, gasoline and
lubricants, signs and markers, graders,
trucks, snow plows and various mis-
cellaneous items may add another 500
cars.
This makes grand total of 44,400
carloads of material hauled by the
railroads, with an estimated freight
bill of $265O,OOO in 1881. The bulk of
this will stay in Minnesota, as more
than half of the cement practically
all sand, rock and gravel, and con-
are produced within the state.
The business furnished the rail-
roads means keeping a great many
railroad men on the job this summer
who otherwise night be laid off. But
this, Mr.. Babcoqk points out, is only
one of several industries benefited.
Production of cement, sand and gravel,
and other material gives employment
to hundreds of men, in addition to
those employed directly in highway
work. Producers of food, clothing,
and other things needed by the men
also benefit indirectly. It is estimated
that 10000 men are employed at this
time on state highway work, including
men employed by contractors on con-
struction jobs, and men employed by
the department on maintenance and
other work No estimate can be made
of the men employed in producing or
transporting materials.

ON SPEED
UNDER FIRE

Average highway speeds are ap-
proximately the same in all States
whether they have speed limits or
not, according to findings in a
survey by the Albert Russell
Erskine Bureau for Street Traffic
Research.
Citing these findings, Miller Nc
ClintOck, director of the bureau,
insists that definite speed limits
have been proved obsolete.
Mr.. McClintock reminds that
driving conditions are so varied
it is impossible to set fixed rates
Of speed which can be equitably
and safely applied. He says that,
for the more favorable condi-
tions, they are. of necessity, too
low, and for the less favorable
conditions they are invariably too
high.
The definite speed-limit idea
has been modified in some Sec
tions, but even the reasonable
and safe" speed factor, instead of
a definite figure. is not COM
pletely satisfactory, he says. Some
States have abolished speed limits
altogether, like Connecticut, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Kansas, and Tennes-
see, and these have had no OBJ
vious increase in accidents.

GRAIN AS SPECIE
GETS ROUND
APPROVAL
Rep. Howard Suggests Ford
Follow Harvester Lead
to Depress Surplus Wheat

Big business was called on to-
day to help the wheat farmers
by accepting grain in payment
for farm machinery.
Pointing to the example of the
International Harvester Com.
pany. announced by it's board
chairman, Alexander Legge. of
accepting December wheat at IS
cents a bushel in payment for
machinery, Representative Howard
CD Of Nebraska called on others
to "go and do likewise"
Move Is Approved
The action Of the harvester
company won approval in nearly
every quarter.
At the Agriculture Department,
Assistant Secretary r. w. Dunlap
went so far as to say that If
others followed the lead of the
Chicago concern the farmers
would be helped. but would not
suggest such action publicly.
Representative Howard warned
that care should be exercised that
spectators should not buy wheat
at the prevailing low prices and
try to buy industrial commodi.
ties with it. He suggested speci-
fically that Henry Ford would
oo we'll to know the trail blazed
by the Harvester Company, while
depicting the Farm Board as an
organization that has only done
harm. Howard added:
Henry Ford once had a high
position in the esteem of his
cOuntrymen. He could regain
that place if he would make
an announcement like that of
Mr.. Legge.
Slams Farm Board
"Mr. Legge's offer cOnvinces
me that he is a noble, sincere
man, and earnest in his desire
to help the farmer. I always
believed in him, though have
never considered the Farm
Board Of any help to the
farmers.
"The Farm Boards work has
done more to depreSs the price
Of farm products than anything
else"

REICH CABINET
FACED WITH
SHAKE-UP
NationaIiSts, Social Democrats

StimSon Arrives in Berlin

BERLIN, July Is G.N.S).
Chancellor Heinrich Bruening
and Foreign Minister Julius Cur
thus returned to Berlin today to
"face the music" for having come
away from the London seven
power conference practically
empty-handed.
Further drastic financial de-
Crees, possibly involving the ma
tiOnalizatiOn of some Of the
largest German private banks,
may be expected. A Shake-up Of
the German cabinet is more than
q possibility.
Chancellor Bruening called on
President Paul Won Hindenburg
almost Immediately upon his re-
turn here, and made detailed
report of the negotiations carried
on at London. A meeting of the
cabinet was called as soon as the
chancellor left the presidents
palace.
StimsOn In Berlin
Col. Henry L. Stimson, United
States Secretary Of State, arrived
in Berlin this evening for a visit
which he insists will be devoid
of political or financial signifi-
cance.
The entire United States EN-
bassy staff, in top hats and cuta-
ways, turned out to receive him.
A small crowd watched the re-
ception unmoved.
It was understood that strong
national concentration" cabinet
was in the making, with the
Bruening government secretly ne
gotiating with Nationalist and So
cial-Democratic leaders.
Workers More Uneasy
Various branches of the govern
ment administrative machinery
are often involuntarily, and some
times wilfully, sabotaging each
others measures to cope with the
scarcity of money.
Uneasiness is growing among
the working masses and the un-
employed. Much of this is due
to the fact that only so per cent
of the unemployment dole has
been paid this week. Radical

No fears were felt for her

she had previously remained
away from her cabin for one OF

Woolford declared that he "had
a pretty good idea Of who killed
Miss Schmerler," but refused to
explain any further. He added:
"The girl had put up a bat
tie for her life. We believe
that she was intercepted on
the brink Of the gulch and
beaten to death with a club.
She fought back and her cloth
ing was nearly torn off.
"When she finally sank to
the ground under the batter
ing, her slayer pushed her body
over the edge into the gulch,
a dozen feet below"

Meanwhile, at the Indiar

Senator Coolidge said:

very sternly. 1t would look
as If it were up to the Presi-
dent or Congress or both to
take immediate action on the

From what read, however,
the departments at Washing

not only in not allowing un-
desirable aliens to come to this

desirable aliens who are now
here.
