Three Billion For
 Road Work In 1881
One Hundred and Ten Countries Plan to Spend Stag : gering Sum on Improved Highways

miles. Hungary has an ambitious program already under way and Bulgaria has doubled it's highway budget for the previous year. Italy has vast public works program un- der way employing close to 60,00O men for highway construction. Bel gium, Austria and the United King dom all have additional plans for the year.
 In the Philippines $6,000,000 are to be used for highway construc- tion for the relief of unemployment, and in Porto Rico one million dol lars will be spent on roads.
 Thus we see all over the world stimulated activity in highway con- struction and greatly increased ex- penditures during 1880 and 1881. Although this is being undertaken at the present time as direct measure of relief for unemploy- ment, the permanent character of the works will of course bring last ing benefits to the countries con- cerned and should act accordingly, not only as a temporary relief now, but as an aid to permanent insur- ance against future crises by stim- ulating economic development and accordingly economic wealth the world over.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-27

Washington, D. e.. Jan 27.-One hundred and ten nations and po- litical subdivisions of the world will spend at least 00,00O,000 on roads and road construction during 1881, according to an estimate made by the automotive division of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Worldwide investiga- tions disclose the fact that in the majority of the countries of the world road building has been stim- ulated as a measure of unemploy- ment relief, and as a consequence, world highway budgets were larger in 1880 than in 1929, and are eX- pectcd. in 1881, to be larger than ever before.
 That history repeats itself in this respect, at least, is attested to by recent findings in India. Asia and other places where ancient roads have come to light built many years ago by sovereigns to provide en- ployment for their people. Many of these ancient roads are in use to-day indicating the high quality of con- struction.
 It is gratifying to note that the United States leads the parade of highway constructor. With eXpen- ditures which. according to the best estimates. will reach $2,O0O,000,0OO during the year. Though not in as large quantities, many other countries are propor- tionate1y increasing their highway budgets to relieve unemployment. From Japan comes the news of a special and additional 40,OOOOOO yen (s2O,O0O,OOO) for 1881 roads; in Canada expenditures are expect ed to be increased by about $20,- OO0,000. Mexico is pushing its great trunk highway system to give Mex ica City modern highway connection with Vera Cruz on the gulf and Lar edo and the United States on the north. Argentina in the closing days of 1880 issued a decree call ing for bids for the construction or some 800 miles of paved highways with an outlay estimated at $2O0.- 100000 or more. Algeria. the Su- dan Czecho- -Slovakia and Greco, all have increased their 1880 budgets

GANDHI IS FREE
 BUT SEEKS THE
 LIBERTY OF ALL
He Wants the 5O,OOO Poli= tical Prisoners, Now Held By Britain, Sent to Their Homes
BY FRANCIS LOW

United Press Staff Corrcspondent)
 Bombay, Jan 27-The Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, Indian nationalist leader released from prison at Poona yesterday, was received with deep reverence and wild acclaim when he arrived here by train today.
 The frail Indian, clad in the usual lion cloth. received garlands from many of his followers. A poor wo- man entered his railway carriage and prostrated herself at his feet. Gandhi helped lift her up, and sig nailed to the immense crowd of his admirers to allow him to leave the train.
 Gandhi insisted on spinning during the latter part of his train journey. At various suburban stations outside Bombay, he smiled and spoke a few words to the crowds assembled to welcome him. He never ceased spin- ming an act symbolic of the devel- opment of Indian national industry. The white strands passed nimbly through his fingers, and occasionally he gathered the broken ends where the frail thread had snapped.
 In a talk with interviewers Gan dhi made an appeal for the release of.50,000 political prisoners arrested during the civil disobedience cam paign.
 'I left jail with an open mind," Gandhi said, but I sincerely believe that every political prisoner con- nected with the nationalist move ment should be freed immediately. None of the congress leaders (the all-Indian national congress) will be happy until this is done."
 Gandhi told the United Press it would be impossible to cancel his campaign of civil disobedience until all prisoners arrested for Satyagra ha, or non-violent civil disobedience, had been released and ordinances in- voked against congress activities were withdrawn.
 Ut is for the viceroy to withdraw his oppressive policy" Gandhi said.
 Gandhi said he could not discuss Prime Minister Macdonald's state ment at the final session of the round table conference because he had not studied it fully. He did not wish to indicate at the moment what his at titude might be.
 Gandhi was accompanied by Mrs Naidu, congress leader, who jok- ingly told her friends that she had brought Gandhi safely to Bombay, although he was nearly broken to pieces" enroute.
 Moderae Indian elements welcomed Gandfs statement regarding his "open mind" which they considered friendly to the round table confer eice.
 Editor Brevli of the Bombay Chronicle and Jamnalal Bajaj, Bom- bay members of the working com mittee of the congress. who have just been released from Nsaik jail. warmly greeted Gandhi at the suburb of Dadar. The train then continued it's triumphal progress to the central terminus. where large crowd wildly cheered the Mahatma, or 'great soul"

Vicious Dogs
 in New England
Causing Much Alarm in Many Towns and
 Cities

Vicious dogs are causing much alarm all over the New England states, and regardless of heavy fines for dog bites, owners of the animals, still allow the pets to run at large. A dog that makes a practice of at- tacking pedestrians is bound to do some harm and it's owner is running chances of being taken into court and made to pay heavy fine. That is not the worst thing about this business. The danger of rabies is far worse, and diagnosis of the heads of dogs examined shows many of them are afflicted with this malady.
 Worcester, Pittsfield and Spring field are having a hard time of it with the dog bites matter, the num- Der being on the increase to an alarming extent. This is nothing against a well behaved dog, but it should put owners on their guard and be sure that the house pet does not become menace in the neigh borhood and not only be sourse of expense to it's owner but spread the loathsome disease, rabies, to hu- man beings.

age dispute been handled in the manner Mitchell employed. For sev- eral months Schall has been active in Michaels behalf, visiting the White House frequently. Members of the house delegation also called upon the president
 While no open threats were made, it was the generally accepted view that unless the administration chose Michael, it would have a fight on it's hands to get anyone else confirmed in the senate, and might also encounter open warfare with large portion of the party in Min nesota when the time comes to choose delegates to the 1892 repub- lican national convention in 1882
 Despite the pressure brought to bear upon him, however, the attor- ney general, whose home is in Min neapolis, has refused silently up to this time to go along with the or ganlzatlon. He is understood to have had the backing in MT Hoover's office of two secretarial advisers, also from Minneapolis.
 The attorney general did not men, ton Michael by name in his state- ment, but left no doubt as to his recommendations to MT Hoover about the appointment.
 Our file of protests against this nomination is more impressive than in any ether case before the depart- ment for years past" Mitchell said. My refusal to recommend the sen- ator's candidate is not merely a mat ter of personal judgment. From lawyers and judges all over the state have come vigorous protests against the appointment.
 "No man has a right to aspire to appointment to the federal bench whose professional activities have been conducted in disregard of those standards of professional conduct which right-thinking lawyers have additionally tried to maintain"

States Principal Witness Reluctant
 To Take Stand
Headquarters Releases Sullivan After Detainng Him Ten Days as Prisoner-Accused Admits Writing Letters in Effort to Secure Money

The reluctance of the states prin- cipal witness to voluntarily present himself at hearing resulted to-day in the release of Joseph Sullivan. 35, alleged blackmailer. Postal authori- ties having declined to assume charge of the case and with the po- lice in other cities disinterested it was decided this morning by Prose- cutting Attorney Emil Hummel that Waterbury should not be expected to bear the expense of trial. He rec of breach of peace, which had been preferred against Sullivan at the time of his arrest, be nolled. Judge T. V. Meyer approved it and the police gave Sullivan his liberty after having spent ten days a prisoner at Headquarters.
 Sullivan was arrested January 17 when he attempted to claim a pack age at the post office. The Water- bury police had received word from the Bridgeport authorities to be on the lookout for the claimant of par eel, which was supposed to contain s50,000 hush" money. When Sul- livan was taken into custody he was booked on the technical charge of breach of the peace. It developed within a few hours after his arrest that he had written letter to Ed ward c. Alley, a prominent banker of Cortland, N. Y., demanding money or he would expose some of his per- sonal and private affairs. MT. Alley being of the opinion that the letter or it's author should be investigated complained to the police of that city. A package, but not the desired $50,- 900 was sent as directed to Bridge port and later to Waterbury, where Sullivan was waiting. He was talk en into custody by Lieutenant Jo- seph Stevens and Detective William Foley.
 While in the custody of the police Sullivan admitted that he sent let ters of similar nature to former Governor Al Smith, Mayor James Walker, John Rascob and others

very prominent in the democratic party. All of the celebrities men, tioned failed to acknowledge the let ters Or complain to the police. Even after Sullivan's so-called confession, they declined to comment on the matter.
 After making an Investigation the postal authorities announced that they had no evidence on which to base prosecution. The Waterbury police mailed Sullivan's photo to va rious parts of the country, >obtained his past record of eight arrests from the Boston police and made inquiries as to whether or not he was wanted elsewhere. They also ''paged" MT. Alley, the banker. He replied that he was willing to come to Water bury if the state paid all expenses. but intimated that he was not par ticularly interested. Prosecuting At tornel Hummel indicated that the feeling was mutual and promptly de- cidcd to dismiss the charge. If all the principals were lacking in en- thusiasm it was not up to Water bury to run up an expense account with the chances of losing out com- pletely.
 Sullivan was released from the custody of the police following the adjournment of city court.
