DK. HILL’S KOAD PLANS.
Tbe Baltimore “Sun” of Wednes
day, said;
Dr. Richard S. Hill, of Prince
George’s county, introduced in the
House of Delegates tonight a bill for
the construction of a permanent and
improved roadway between Baltimore
and Washington. Ultimately, the idea
of the bill is that the road shall also
be extended north of Baltimore t
Wilmington and Philadelphia.
Dr. Hill’s bill after reciting the fact
that the State has placed itself on re
cord in favor of building permanent
and improved highways in Maryland
by the Acts of 1896 and also of 1904,
states that the best opportunity for
the carrying out of this plan is the
ccnstruction of a road between Balti
more and Washington. Such a road
would not only put the two cities into
much closer communication than they
are now, but would greatly benefit
Prince George’s, Baltimore and How
ard counties, through which it passes.
The route to be followed, according to
the bill, is that of the Baltimore and
Washington turnpike, which year
ago was used as a stage route and lat
er became a private turnpike, the
charter for which has since been for
feiled.
An appropriation of $40,000 for the
fii si year and $25X00 for each sue
ceeding two years is provided for.
The work is to be done entirely by the
State, under tbe supervision of the
highway division ot the Slate Genii.
~ . V 1 .
,i. .. pu ..n, . a U
ure is the provision that the labor on
tbe road is to be furnished by the in
males of the House of Correction.
The bill authorizes and directs the
board of directors of the House of
Correction to furnish upon demand of
tbe highway division not more than
100 men for work upon this road. The
cost of transportation and mainte
nance of these men while at work is to
be borne by the State, coming out ol
the appropriation, and in the event of
their being rrquired to work more
than eight hours a day they are to be
paid a sum to be agreed upon between
the highways division and tbe board
of direcliors of the institution.
Dr. Hill says he has thoroughly in
vestigaled tbe matter and believes
that the placing of inmates of the
House of Correction on this work will
not only be of the greater advantage
to tbe State in enabling it to have a
good road constructed *at small ex
pense, but will be of material benefit
t© the inmates themselves by giving
them work in the open air. He does
not think that it will materially inter
fere with the revenue of the House of
Correction derived from work which
these men perform within the institu
tion. The material of which the road
is to be constructed is left to the high
ways division.
It is staled by Dr. Hill that Presi
deni Gompers, of the American Fed
eration of Libor, in a recent speech
advocated the use of prison labor on
public works. A similiar recommen
dation has been made by the grand
juries of Baltimore city and Montgom
ery county.
In an editorial the Baltimor*
“American” says:
An excellent feature of this bill is
its provision tor the employment of
prisoners from the House of Correc
tion upon the work. Tuat institution
is located on the line between the two
cities, and generally contains enough
able-bodied men, who have done wrong,
to render such employment thourough
ly practical. The plan is in line with
“The American’s” suggestion for mak
ing use ot labor of this kind for road
building in all parts of the Stale, and
here could be made an excellent test
of its value. The result would never
be in doubt. The grand juries of Bal
timore city and of Montgomery coun
ty have recently approved “The
American’s suggestion, and, speaking
from the standpoint of union labor,
Samuel Gompers, president of Amer
ican Federation, advocates the use of
prison labor on public woiks. The
bill also provides for the money re
quired, to be allotted in three instal
ments.
Good progress is now being made
on the construction of a trolley line
between Baltimore and Washington.
This project had its birth a number of
years ago, but after a beginning was
made the work was, to all intents and
purposes, abandoned, though on some
sections the rails were laid and cars
run. Now, m new hands and with
plenty of capital Lack ot it, the pro
ject 18 being pit-bed mp'div torwapi.
and unless piesom plans go awrv
trolley cars will soon he making good
speed between the t wo cities
With two good steam car lines, with
a modern electric line and with a well
constructed public highway tbe con
nections of Maryland metropolis and
the nation’s capital will he as pctrfeci
and complete as the hand of man can
make them. Such connections would
not only be ot great value to both
cities, but would prove of vast benefit
to all the country through which these
roads would run
OUU WASHINGTON LETT EK
(From Our Regular Correspondent )
Mr. Editor —The Senate Committee
which is looking into Panama Canal af
fairs has gotten itself into a bad tangle
at the very outset of its labors. It has a
recalcitrant witness on its hands in the
person of Mr. Poultney Bigelow, a maga
zine writer of some reputation. Mr.
Bigelow was a college classmate of Em
peror William of Germany and a close
friend of President Roosevelt beside be
ing a traveller, a good all round sports
man and a writer of international repute
Mr. Bigelow, it will be remembered some
time ago wrote a magazine article saying
a number of unpleasant things about tbe
Panama situation. He was singled out
by Secretary Taft as the one writer
among a great many who bad been saying
unpleasant things about tbe canal, for a
spirited reply. The secretary alleged
that Mr. Bigelow had only been on the
Isthmus 38 hours and knew nothing of
what he was writing about. However,
that is more or less beside the mark.
Poultney Bigelow’s article was no more
or less severe than a good many others
had been but he was an author of some
reputation and therefore a good man to
make an example of. The Senate com
mittee undertook to cross question him
as to his sources of information and why
he should dare to write anything againsi
the canal. Now, being a friend of thi
President, it is not likely that Mr. Big*
low was actuated by any personal malic*
in the things he wrote- And it has beet
proved a good many times that newspa
per and magazine writers are not. given
to betraying their sources of information
under compulsion. Tne Senate has been
up against this sort of recalcitrance ai
least once in the past few years in the
case ot the Su ar Trust investigation
Inert- i> hoi j • ,vs.rap-r men, Joi.
Ouiivci anu llSi es Luwams wuiui I
undertook to put on me rack and fune
to divulge the names of their informants
in certain matters they had written about.
The writers balked and claimed that ttu
things told them were as much privileged
as tbe statements made professionally to
a priest or a physician. The Senate certi
tied them in contempt and they were con
structively convicted but their trial and
conviction was a farce and they nevet
saw the inside of a jail. Whether they
were right or whether Mr. Bigelow was
right in the things they published became
a minor question beside the larger one of
the right of a congressional committee to
haul up any author and compel him to
divulge the names of any people he has
talked with in gathering material for an
article. The committee has divided ol
party lines. Senator Gorman and Senatoi
Simmons holding that it is unwise to push
Mr. Bigelow to extremes, while Senato.
Knox and his colleages declare that be
should be certified to the President of the
Senate and punished for contempt. Sena
tor Gorman bas taken the common sense
view of the case whatever the law may
be. For to single Mr. Bigelow out foi
punishment would be to make a martyr
of him before the public and to freeze up

If the cod fish became extinct
it would Ite a world-wide calam
ity. because the oil that comes

cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the objectionable

any other witnesses the committee might
want to examine. The i'apitol is con
siderably stirred up over the affair for
it involves the whole question of the
freedom of the press. It is not likely
that it will have any serious consequen
ces for the writer, but it certainly has put
the Senate Committee is an embarrassing
position at the outset of its labors.
The appointment of Luke C. Wright as
first ambassador to Japan to succeed
Lloyd Griscom, is something of a sur
prise. Judge Wright is a Tennessee man
and has had six years of hard work in the
P hilippines where he was sent as a mem
bar of the first McKinley commission. It
will be recalled that the announcement
of the commission was not hailed with
any great enthusiasm at the time. Com
missioner Taft was an unknown quantity.
Luke Wright, while he had held the office
of attorney general of Tennessee, was a
Democrat little known outside his own
state and was thought to havebeen thrown
in merely to give the commission a bi
partisan color Henry Ide of Vermont
was about equally well known. But as it
proved, all three of these little known
men did excellent work Commissioner
Taft was eventually called to the War
Department as Secretary. Judge Wright,
after winning the affections and confi
dence of the natives, has now been made
an ambassador, and Commissioner Ide is
now governor general of the Philippines,
which position he will hold for a time at
least as an honor before coming home to
enjoy a well earned rest.
