8,000 SLAUGHTERED
' BY JMPERIAUSTS
Manchus Repulse Rebel Force
t at Nanking. Then Butcher
Defenseless Natives.
Kinking. More than 8000 natlv
Chinese men, women and children arc
dead and 75.000 others are hometesi
a a result of the wanton slaughter
In this city by the Imperialist army.
Hundreds of bodies He among the
smoking ruins of dwellings. The pro
perty of the Chinese was first looted,
then fired.
The carnival of death began with
the moment that.Uie Manchu com
mander succeeded In beating back the
rebel force which had been storming
bis troops. Intrenched on Purple Hill.
The Manchu soldiers did their work
thoroughly. They even mutilated dead
bodies horribly. Arms, legs and heads
were cut off. Skulls were split, and
Other bodies disembowled. They
teemed craxy not only to see people
die, but to see them suffer horribly
before dying. Mothers were compelled
to look on while their children were
killed, husbands while women of their
households were outraged. Refugees
spoke of having waded ankle deep Id
blood to reach the city gates.
Though the Manchus are again In
complete control of Nanking their con
trol promise to be short lived. Set
ting on them on every side axe mil
lions of enemies, fairly frantic, for
their blood. Revolutionists are con
verging upon the city from every di
rection, and when the trouble falls,
the rebels are sworn to put every
ilanc.hu within It walls to the sword.

LUCK MAY HASTEN
CHOOSING OF JURORS
Los Angeles. "If we can find 12
tair-minded men among the talesmen
How being examined, we will accept
them without exhausting our 20 per
emptory challenges," was the state
ment Clarence S. Darrow, chief coun
sel for James B. McXamara, on trial
for deaths resulting from the explo
sion of the Times building here 13
month ago. District Attorney Frede
ricks shares this view, so that with
three Jurors already sworn, a lucky
combination may furnish a complete
Jury within a shorter interval than
expected.
The decisions In this state uniform
ly hold a conviction could not be set
aside on the ground that the defense
was obliged to accept biased Jurors,
unlesB It occurred that It was neces
sary to accept such Jurors when per
emptory challenges Were exhausted.
Must Hang or Acquit McNamaras.
Los Angeles. "They will either
hang Jim McNamara or turn him
loose! I'll stand for no verdict that
will sop the conscience of the men
who want to Justify the kidnaping of
my clients. The district attorneys
may tell the Jury that If they doubt
the efficiency of the circumstantial ev
idence they can find Jim guilty and
fix the punishment at life imprison
ment, but I won't stand for that. Lib
erty or death must he his portion!"

STATE CONTROL OF R0AD1
Why Kansas County's Surveyer Fa
vor Uniform System.
The stat control of road In order
to bring about uniformity and elimi
nate the office that hav to do with
road building la advocated by J. M.
Lindsay, county surveyor of Wyan
dotte county. Kan, Mr. Lindsay would
abolish the office of county engineer
and have a resident stat engineer ap
pointed either by the stat highway
engineer or a good road couiuitaslotv.
As a continuation of the plan the
township road overseer would be un
der the control of the resident engi
neer, and the result, Mr. Lindsay
ays, would be a uniformity of roads
aud bridge.
"Suppose," Mr. Lindsay said, "that
the county commissioners of one couu
ty should erect a concrete bridge aud
on the same road in the next county a
cheap tin' affair Is erected. In a few
years the cheap bridge may wear out,
and a heavily loaded wagon or a
thrashing machine would be compel
led to go around It Under state con
trol this condition won Id not arise, as
the plans tor bridges would be mora
or lees uniform. Not that all bridge
would necessarily be concrete, but the
capacity and condition of every bridge
In the state would be known by every
resident engineer. If the survey of
every county road were made In con
formity with roads In adjotulng coun
ties the ultimata result would be a
road straight across the state at no
unusual cost
"This wonld be the case If surveys
for all generally traveled roads were
filed In the office of the state highway
engineer or with a good roads com
mission. Then, too, the Toad boss1
who Insists upon his own Idea of
road building, whether they are right
or wrong, would b eliminated, lie
would be under the direction of a
competent engineer, and hi bit of
road would receive the same attention
as any other road In the stat."
Mr. Lindsay Is one of th three
member of a committee appointed by
the Kansas Engineering society to
procure th passage of good road
laws In th Kansas legislature next
winter. Be Is endeavoring to get the
support of the society for state con
trol of highways,
DRAGGING ROADS WITH AUTOS
How Six Machine. Helped to Make
Two Miles 8mooth and Hard.
Th Muskogee (Okla.) Motor club Is
Improving the roads In Muskogee
county. This club Is composed of fifty
motorists. The members have bought
fifty spilt log drags snd are using
them on the roads leading out of Mus
kogee. Th first trial was made a
short time ago and proved a great suc
cess. A stretch of road two miles long
leading out of one of the dry's prin
cipal thoroughfares was selected.
When the ground was In the right con
dition the six split log drags were at
tached to the rear axles of six ma
chines, and the two miles of road were
thoroughly dragged. The result Is that
they are as smooth and bard as could
be desired. It took the motorists about
a quarter of a day to do the work.
This work Is to be extended. The
fifty members of the club are to be di
vided into squads of six each. Each
squad Is to be given a division of road
to Improve. More drags will be made.
The material In a drag of this kind
costs $4.30 if bought at a lumber yard
and hardware store, but any farmer
can make one with ordinary tools for
practically nothing by using split logs,
as the name of the drag suggests.
Women For Good Roads.
In one of those cities where the
women have actively taken up the
work of civic Improvement the wo
man's club has created a department
of good roads and has appointed a
committee to have charge. This is the
first action of the kind that we have
noticed. The local newspaper says
that "this committee has not been
asked to work tbe roads, but It surely
will be able to work the men who con
trol them, to Judge by the success of
the efforts of the women In the past
for Improvements of advantage to tbe
city." And therein Is stated the secret ;
of the value of such an undertaking on j
the part of these women. If the men ,
won't build good roads the women can '
make them. Southern Good Bonds
begs leave to acknowledge Itself a firm ,
md unwavering constituent of this ,
-lub of progressive ladies who not ,
only enjoy books and original articles j
on current topics, refreshments and so
cial pleasures connected with tbe usu- !
al feminine club, but also Incorporate j
Into their realm of activity such a !
laudable work as furthering the good
roads movement.
Oil Versus Water as s Dust Preventive,
The superintendent of parks In Kan
sas City found that In one year a sav
ing of 34 per cent was effected by
using ,oll Instead of water as a pre
ventive of dust. Sprinkling would
have cost for that year $16,207.32
Oillug cost $10,071.44. The superin
tendent said that occasional light ap
plications of oil during tbe season Im
proved the wearing surface of the
driveways. The damage to the wear
ing surface comes largely from attri
tion of the grit or dust on the road
way, and oil, he pointed out, compacts
the grit or dust, thus checking dete
rioration nt once and preventing the
damage that comes from automobile
travel.
