The trial of liullock and Houston occupied three weeks, and followed an exhaustive Investigation by the de partment of justice that resulted in indictment, last spring. liullock, secretary of the John J. Sesnon com pany; Houston, as manager of the raclllc Coast company, and Captain D. J. Jarvla, who committed suicidu several years ago, were accuned of having conspired to boost th. price of coal furnished Alaskan forts, while ostensibly competing. It was shown in the trial that coal was sold to the government at $27 a ton at a time hen it was being sold to private corporations at 112 and 14. The de fense sought to show that this wai due to the added risks that contractors bora in dealing with the government. Other evidence was Introduced which H. I).

Seattle Representatives of the Amercian-Hawaiien Steamship com pany in Seattle have been advised that th. steamship Minnesotan, th. first of th. eight big freight and passenger liners ordered from th. Maryland Steel company, Sparrow I'olnt, Md., has been completed and is ready for ser vice. The Minnesotan was launched June 8 and given her builders' trial September 10. She is a vessel of 9450 tons dead weight caigo capacity, 415 feet 2 Inches in length between per Dcndicular. 6S feet 6 Inches beam, (leddooth. The Minnesotan has a draft of 28 feet and can maintain a speed of 12 knots an hour. The ularlng of an order for eight steamships by one company is unpre cedented in the history of American shipbuilding. The vessels are being built In preparation for the additional traffic which Is expected to follow the opening of the Panama canal. They are similar in design and construction to the steamships Kentucklan and Georgian, now in the Atlantic service of the American-Hawaiian Steamship iHimtianv. The rout, on whlcn mese vesscia arc to be pi seed is from New Vork to Ssn the Hawaiian Islands, Fort- land and Puget Sound ports by way of th. canal. Says States and Nation Should As sume Responsibility for Hon est Institutions. Iieverly, Mass. Radical legislation In favor of the American farmer and consumer as a means of solving th. question of the high cost of living was urged by President Taft in a letter to the governors of all the states. President Taft proposes to reduce th. cost of foodstuffs on the American dinner table by reducing the cost to the farmer of producing his crops. This would be done by establishing in the interest of th. farmer a financial machine which would give him access to all the money centers of the world snd afford him credit at greatly re duced rates and upon more advan tageous terms than he now receives. Ihe complete development of our ag ricultursl resources which this would make possible, thinks President Taft, would K" a long way toward settling the problem of the high cost of living. "What this plan offers, " writes President Taft, "is a means to secure this country greater productivity, at less cost, from the farms that are now under cultivation, and, above all, to give us more farms and more farm' ers. The plan suggested is based upon the principles of agricultural co-operative credit now in use in practically every country in Europe. Uniform state legislation, in the opinion of President Taft, is essential to the successful adoption of thil plan and he has invited the governors of all the states to a conference upon this sub' ject at the time of the annual meeting of governors in Washington in Decern ber.

According to Information Just made public by the director of the office of public roads, Indiana leads all the states of the Union lu mileage of lnl' proved roads. Most of the tmproved roads of Indiana and Ohio ar. com posed of gravel and were, for th. most part, built by farmers In working out the taxes. The eltiht leading good roads state, are: Indiana, Ohio, New York. Wisconsin. Kentucky. Illinois. California and Massachusetts. The states which are leading In Pro Kresslve road building are: New York. Georgia, Washington, Missouri, South Carolina. Alabama, Pennsyl vania, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida and Maryland. That the nationwide movement for the Improvement of the public roads Involve, a large undertaking Is indicated by Information Ju:;t made public by the-U. 8. department of apiculture. Secretary Wilson ahows that 300.000 miles of roads must be Improved before the public road sys tem can be considered really efficient. It Is only within recent years that the movement for better roads has tained force. The consequences of delay are shown In the fact that there sre now but 190.470 miles of improved roads In this country. These Improved roads constitute 8.66 Der cent, of the total mlleaee of all public roads, lra Proved and unimproved. It Is flgurea that the percentage will bave to be In creased to 20 before traffic can be moved throughout the country with the minimum of wear and tear on horse, waxons and automobiles. The French system of roads, long considered the best In the world, was bonded by Napoleon III. for $6,000, 000. and something In the neighbor hood of $51 2,775,000 has already been spent on that system. In this country, owing to the great distances, lt Is probable that close to $2,000,000,000 will bave to be spent before a proper road system Is developed. While the amount necessary to per fect a great road system seems fabu lously large. It does cot seem too large when lt Is divided among th. various rates and snread over a period of five, ten or fifteen year.. When It Is considered that New York state haa bonded Itself for $50,000,000 and that $3.00,000 a year 1. now being expended by that state, lt will be seen that a nation-wide system mleht soon be perfected were all states to progress as rapidly. South Carolina. Alabama and Flor ida have also made great gains by bulldlne sand-clay roads, and this Is very cheap and satisfactory type of road building. fN W WtL&S OF 3n. Nocturnal Expsrl.nc.

"Fifty dollars cash bo nus and two months' rent free to any body who will live not less than two mouths In this bouse." Such is the sign which Ezra Blake, wealthy landowner, bas put up on on. of his houses In the negro quarter near here. Among negroea the house Is re puted a "haunted." Up to a month sgo it was never known to have any spiritual visitors, iiut the last ten ants, a couple named Jackson, after living In lt for five years, had a ghost ly visitor one night, and siuce then Mrs. Jackson declares that a ghost chased her up the back stairs, and Mr. Jackson corroborates ber. Jackson was first to hear queer noises, and he aroused his wife. Josephine," he called, "th suan an arful queer soun' in de cellar! Jostnhine listened, and ther. cam. to her ear a sound of low moaning, punctuated by sibilant whisperings. Josephine trembled, but Jackson leap ed out of bed. He said he'd "investi gate the matter thoroughly." Joscuhine." he said, "you go down cellar and see wha' fo' that noise Is. Et you need any help, why Jes call me, that's all. jes call me."

The last Joseph ine saw of him he was sprinting up the road leading to their nearest ne gro neighbor. shrieks were aa wings to hi. legs.

The window gardener's year begins In September, because that Is tne time to bring tender plants indoors, and because bulbs begin to arrive then. The Ideal 1. to have flowers Indoors every day irom tne urm iru m au tumn until the last frost of spring. Bulbs alone will give flowers from Christmas to Easter. A Hue col lection of bulbs will give a spot or color dally if carefuly selected and managed, but it Is pleasant tb have a roomful of bulbs about ZoO pots. Th most rjractlcal bulbs for tnnsi- mas bloom are Roman hyacinths and the paper white narcissus. Chinese sacred lilies will also bloom then If protected from drafts. For February, plan cuses. For March and April plan 10 nave tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. Asparagus Doubly Useful. Asparagus plant is hardy.

"Tho recurrent! epidemics of typhoid fever at Newark, Del, are due to the spread of ty phoid germs, by flies, inere is uo doubt about this." This declaration was mad. today by Dr Albert Robin, one of the foremost bacteriologista in the east and for four yeara bacteriologist In th. state labo- . i l.

Dr. Robin, now resident of Wilmington, continued: "Th. four year, that I spent at Newark enabled me to learn all about Inland ever before visited Dy whites. The Russians went there dur ing the war, and now there are Jap anese gendarmes there, as in every place In the country.
