J Washington, Sept. 28.?As a memlast
ber of the committee on roads Mr.
Byrnes has been invited to attend and

city in the interest of road improvement.
While unable to accept the invitation
and to address the National Association
rille j at Detroit, he has accepted the insociation
at Mobile. November 21).
a to siciation at Mobile, November 20.
,fes. Mr. Byrnes states that the House
committee will endeavor to put a bill
d through the House as soon as the
regular session convenes, and he beleen
ky. lieves the bill will be similar to that
and passec* the House and killed in the
jen- Senate durin? the last Congress, providing
for the payment by the Government
to the States, for the use of
Q0V the roads over which rural mail
xv J carriers travel.
Mr. Byrnes declares that a concert]o
vq
ed effort is being made by certain
' *? interests to have road legislation to
take the form of a transcontinental
highway, and to encourage this sentiment
all kinds of road associations,
with nominal membership, are being
ars formed, and resolutions fathered by
the American Automobile Association
and road machine factories, adoptight
ed- Re states that road legislation
Iain desired by these associations would
lars be a great luxury to the automobile
hen tourists, but would be of no service to
tore man *n t^ie country who wants to
, 0f take his crop to market.
ken He says that any bill adopted by
lUn_ the House committee must provide
for the improvement of plain roads
the used by plain people, and it would not
oise be surprising if there should be some
4 investigation as to the source from
is which funds are secured to originate
tout road papers and hold conventions.

12,000 PERSONS LIABLE.
More than That Number Must Pa
Income Tax in Chicago.
There are approximately 12,00
persons in Chicago with annual in
comes of more than $3,000, accord
ing to a preliminary estimate c
Frank E. Hemstreet, chief deput
collector of internal revenue, wh
has completed an investigation at th
orders of the department in Wash
ington. The investigation was t
discover the number of persons wh
will be affected bv the proposed iD
come tax if it becomes a law.
"Of a total of 600,000 wage earn
ers in Chicago," the deputy saic
"there are about 12,000' having in
comes between $3,000 and $20,00
yearly. There are 500 persons whos
incomes are between $20,000 am
$50,000; 175 whose incomes are be
tween $50,000, and $100,000, am
35 whose incomes exceed $100,00
yearly. This gives 12,710 person
with incomes at more than $3,000.
"I found that in proportion to th
number of persons employed, bank
pay more relatively high salarie
than any of the commercial occupa
tions in which lists were submitted,'
lie said.
RIG TWIXK CONTRACT.
Postoffice Department Wants 2,200,
OOO Pounds to Tie Mail.
Some idea of the amount of mai

and the energy required to prepare i
properly for delivery, is conveyed in ;
call issued Wednesday by Postmaste
General Burleson for bids for 2,200,
000 pounds of twine with which t<
tie up letters.
That even the vast amount may no
be sufficient is indicated by the adde<
appeal that inventors of substitub
tying devices enter the competitioi
for the material, "as it may be re
quired by the postal service durinj
the remainder of the year endinj
June 30, ] 914."
"Think what the proposed contrac
J means," said an official of a statisti
c-al turn of mind. "It would be a sim
pie matter to tie up old Mother Eartl
with the amount of string we are t(
get; we might stretch a communicat

That is Yerdict in Case of Crum
c'
Reeves.
q St. George. Sept. 29.?After waitL_
ing for about one month at the re[_
quest of the coroner's jury trying the
,f case of Crum Reeves to find by what
v means he came to his death, 11 of the
o 12 jurors signed a verdict that he
e met his death by having his head cut
L_ off by a train on the Southern railo
way.
0 About one month ago the body of
t_ Crum Reeves was found dead on the
track of the Southern railway about
^ 300 yards from the court house at ;
1 St. George, with the top of his .head (
^ cut off. At that time there was sus- ;
0 picion of foul play and it was at the
e request of the jury that the hearing
? was postponed in order to make an 1
investigation and find out more facts i
d about the case. On Saturday night
^ after dilieent search bv the Southern
y .
s railway officials 11 of the 12 jurors
trying the case signed their names
e under a verdict that Reeves came to
g his death as above stated. The other '
s juror, a railway conductor, refused
to sign any verdict whatever. It is
? understood that suit will be instituted
for damages by the widow of the '
dead man. '
Crum Reeves was about 30 years (
old and leaves a wife and one child 1
to survive him. (
