your first thought will lie a visit to
your banker's. , "Our agents.' the letter
goes on, 'will call ou you tomorrow
afternoon at 5 o'clock aud you will

you refuse you will be killed tomorrow

siderably. I think It Is seldom over
$1,000, fur one must be reasonable lu
these Hint tern, and usually It Is less. I
have known a popular and capable
English munnger to get off with $23,
w hich is a ludicrous exchange for life.
But when the agents ring at the door
and ask the servant If you are at home
and disengaged, the only thing to do
is to pay,
"For there la no pretense about the
threats. Refusal or betrayal means
death without pause, probably within
the day. It has been proved over and
over again. It was proved last week

you think It worth while to live a little
longer here below, yon must pay and
try to reclaim from the company.
Whether the company will ever get
anything by reclaiming from the Rus

government la too busy with the trou
blesome and expensive task of shoot

them to Siberia to undertake the pro

have no perilous notions about free

ed retainers to protect them or avenge
their death. Some publish from time
to time In the local papers a list of the
men who will be at once assassinated
If anything happens to themselves.
This Is thought very efficacious and
certainly helps to preserve the peace.
I know one manager who boasts be

to kill some one If the manager Is mur

the number, but there la no doubt
about the system."

L
Consolidation of Ail Highway In
terests Suggested.
HOW SCHEME WOULD HELP.
Alfred Reeves Thinks More Effective
Work In Securing Improved Roads
Could Ba Accomplished by One Big
Body Than by Many 8mall Ones.
Alfred Reeves, general manager of
the American Motor Car Manufactur
ers' association, advanced the sugges
tion recently that all of the good roads
or highway committees of the different
sport and trade automobillng organiza
tions be consolidated, says the New
Yofk Sun. lie thinks that If all the
various committees lie brought togeth
er In one big committee the work of
rousing good roads sentiment in the
United States would make nirh aster
progress than U possible under exist
ing conditions, when of necessity so
much ground is covered by several
committees. Not only does he thluk
such a body could and would command
moro attention at Washington from
congress than would be possible for
any of the present committees, but it
la his Arm liellef that such a plan
would prove more economical and far
more effective thuu any other.
He points out that there are six mo
toring organizations alone which bave
committees working for good roads,
these bodies being called good roads
committees In some cases and highway
( committees In others, bnt lu all cases
their purpose Is the Increase In the
number of miles of Improved highways
In the United States.
While these committees have done
good work and can keep on doing it,
Mr. Reeves thinks that more could be
accomplished If they were consolidat
ed, as expenses would be reduced, and
It cannot be disputed that a delegation
representing these six organizations
could do more effective work In secur
ing favorable legislation at Washing
ton, for Instance, than could be done
by delegations from each of the six
bodies.
A consolidation would also be advis
able, because an executive board of
half a doieu members could be readily
selected made up of men thoroughly
posted on the subject who had gained
their knowledge after years of experi
ence. By following out this plan It
would be a far simpler matter to se
cure men able to give some of their
time to the work than it Is to pick out
such a committee from any one of the
organizations named. Under present
conditions such committees are fre
quently composed of men living In
widely separated parts of the country
who of course are unable to hold fre
quent euough meetings to properly
handle the work they are trying to do.
It Is not Mr. Reeves' Idea that only
the six motoring organizations named
should combine forces, but that all na
tional organizations of road users
should lie Included, He would Include
the big a.ssociutious of farmers In dif
ferent parts of the country and also
the good roads workers who recently
had a convention at Oklahoma, as well
as uny other big organization which
has appointed a committee to advance
the cause of improved highways. He
thinks It a very necessary (vlnt for
the fullest success of sucb a plan that
the farmers Is? Invited to participate,
us their influence would count s heav
ily in the matter of securing favorable
legislation, both natloual a n 1 state.
As au e Idcm-e of what may lie ac
complished by consolidation, even ou a
smalt scale, Mr. Reeves cites the case
of the Hlgbwry Improvement associa
tion, which was formed lu New York a
few year ago.
It was made up of the Road Drivers'
association, the Associated Cycling
Clubs of New York, the Truck Own
ers' association aud the Automobile
Club of America. There was one dele
gate from each organisation, and they
were able to do a great deal of effec
tive work.
They secured the laying of asphalt
strip along many poorly paved or
rough streets aud put an end to the
unnecessarily lavish sprinkling of
streets. In addition to doing a great deal
of other good work. Mr. Reeves thinks
that this same Idea could le followed
out In national road affairs with corre
spondingly greater results.
