I,nck of roads has proved a serious handicap to the Grand Duke Nicholas, who has been unable to maneuver his troops with the speed .and efficiency that Hindenburg could. France has shipped hundreds of automobiles and trucks to Russia and they have been used to advantage in hauling supplies in Russia proper, where there is a semblance of a road system. In Foland, however, where the heavy lighting has been going on the roads are too bad to permit of use by the trucks and generally horses are relied on.

DIXIE HIGH! Indianapolis Man, Leading Spirit Among Commissioners Shows This City on the Most Direct Route. Boosters for the various routes for the proposed Dixie Highway have just three weeks in which to gather the information in regard to the route t they favor and submit the result to the commissioners who will determine the route. At the organization meeting of the commission Friday at Louisville, ICy., all advocates of the various routes suggested, were instructed to submit their reports to their respective commissioners by May lo. On May 20 the board of commissioners will hold its linal meeting at Chattanooga, Tenn., when it will determine the route of the highway. This was the irsolutlon adopted at Louisville. Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution was chosen permanent chairman (if the board and W. W. Marr of Springfield. III., state road commissioner, was elected secretary of the commission. Carl Fisher of Indianapolis comember with Thomas; Taggart of the Indiana commission, displaced maps disclosing the various proposed routes which were six in number. He also carried a mileage table showing tho distances the Louisville route would unfold on the speedometer. Louisville is conceded to be the logical city for the highway to enter Indiana. The routes as shown by Fisher as as follows: Route No. 1 South Fend to NewAlbany, by way of Logansport, Indianapolis. Columbus. Seymour and Scottsburg 2.r2.4 miles. Route No. L Chicago to New Albany, by way of Lafayette, Indianapolis, Columbus, Seymour and Scottsburg 3 21.S miles. Route No. Chicago to New Albany, by way of Lafayette. Crawfordsville, Greencastle. Floomington. F.edford and Faoli ""O.r, miles. Route No. 1. Chicago to New Albany, by way of Ltfayette. Indianapolis. Columbus, Seymour and Salem 345.3 miles. Route No. 5.

Columbus. Seymour and Scottsburg . 51.' mib s. A line of argument presented by Fisher made it apparent to the commissioners t-at he would favor the direct route from Chattanooga to Nashville, thence lo Louiseille amj north to Indianapolis and South Fend by way of Stymour, Columbus. Kokomo and Peru. Ho point d out that when the long distance tt !cjno lines recently were opnt d betwren New York ami San Francisco it was disclosed that it was only 14 miles shorttr than the Lincoln highway. Whip Fisher t.'ked "directness" a delegation represent. g Cincinnati. Lexington and central Kentucky towns was making a declaration to fght for the routing through Cincinnati, even If it Is necessary to make the Dixie highway have two Kent tie', y forks, one via Louisville. th- other via Cincinnati and Greens)arr: to Indianapolis. I toad Shun- Competition. Another delegation from eastern Tennessee held a mciti.ig to advocate routing the road away irorn Nashville. This delegation has the approval of the l, lV: N. railroad, c.-hich isn't exactly fond of the idea of having a great motor highway paralleling it between Louisville and Nashville. The commissioners corference called into the meeting C. I-:. Janes, presblent of the Dixie ILghwaj.' a-ssoei u tion; Richard Manly and C. H. Huston of Chattanooga, who were among the incorporators of the Dixie Highway assK'iation. It thus became apparent that the commissioners representing the state were ready to work In conjunction with the Dixie Highway association to raise tiv money and direct the building of the road.

ML'ST GUAItAXTFJ: THJIY WILL I.MPKOVi; ItOADS. According to a telegram received Saturday morning by the local Dixie Highway committee, from H. G. Spaulding, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce at Louisville meeting yesterday it is up to the northern Indiana cities to guarantee that they will improve highways if they get the route of the Dixie road. High hopes were entertained Saturday by the local men on receipt of word that Carl Fisher looks with much favor on the South Fend route. But Fisher wants a guarantee that the highway will be improved as well as branch lines. It is stated that Fisher lias not forgotten the time some year; hack when South Fend along with other cities, turned down an offer of $20,000 from Fisher to help improve the old Michigan road. Spaulding Also wired that the commissioners have agreed to giving Michigan men a hearing at the meeting at Chattanooga oon May ro. favor the direct route north from Miami to South Fend it seems probable that Louisville and not Cincinnati will be the city marking tho entrance to Indiana. It also seems probable that the Dixie Highway association will have something to say about the selection of the disputed routes through Indiana and Tennessee. Indiana has seven routes to be considered. Tennessee has three. Fiher Js Leader. Carl Fisher loomed as the leading spirit in tLe movement. Mr, Taggart was lato in arriving, but the commissioners seemed w illing to listen to Mr. Fisher, who is credited with being the father of both the Lincoln and tho Dixie highways. Fisher's experience in road building made him easily the dominant figure here. His quiet, persuasive manner readily draws the southerners to listen to him. Robert Tyndall of Indianapolis, and W. S. Gilbreath, secretary of the Hoosier Motor club, served as doorkeepers during the executive sessions of the commissioners, both being Fisher adherents. Northern Indiana was well represented, at the meeting. H. G. Spaulding, secretary of tho South Fend Chamber of Commerce; Van F. Perrine, president of the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce; Martin Lukey, president of the Rotary club. Fort Wayne; F. J. Llndse,y of Kokomo, and Charles Krause of Peru, are here, the latter two as delgates representing the central Indiana Lincoln Highway association. Perrine and Lukey of Fort Wayne, wish the Dixie highway to connect with the Lincoln highway at Fort Wayne instead of South Fend, and believe that if the Cincinnati route is selected. Fort Wayne will beat Indianapolis out as the big Indiana city on the route. Fisher, with W. S. Gilbreath. came to the Louisxille meeting by automobile, traveling by way of Fianklin. Kdinburg. Columbus, Seymour and New Albany. Mr. Fisher, one of tho Indiana commissioners appointed by Gov. RaFton. was anxious to traverse a part of one of the routes between Seymour and No a- Albany, w ith w hich he was not familiar. Here Arc CminiMonors.

BRYAN TELLS IDEAL Says Individual Should Be Able to Draw Reward Proportionate to Contribution. BALTIMORE, Md., April 24 "The social ideal toward which the world is moving requires that human institutions shall approximate toward the divine measure of rewards. This can only be realized when each individual is able to elraw from society a reward proportionate to his contribution to society." This was the first of 10 "rules for th" new voter" laid down by Sec"y of State Bryan at the luncheon ef the City club here today. "Th form of government which givs the best assurance of attaining this Ideal," be continue'., "is the form in which the people rule a go eminent deriving its just powers from tlv consent of the governed. "The chief duty of uo ernmonts, insofar as they are coercive, is to restrh t those w ho would interfere w ith inalienable rights of the individual among which are the right to life, the richt to liberty, the rUht to tho pursuit of happiness and the right to worship Go,i according t the. dictates of one's conscience." Mr. Bryan advocates the sentiment of Jefferson, that "ab- bite aceiuiescence in the decision of jority is the vital need of from which there is no appforce the vital need and i: tho ma- : publics .-. 1 'out to i. mediate pa'ent o" despotism." He argued, however, tiiat it .as not to be expected that any people would acquiesce in the acts of a wronc and it was th duty of every citizen "to exert himself to the utmost to eradicate every evil in government." "T'" government being the people's business." lie added, 4,it follows that its operation should be at all times open to the public views. Publicity is, therefore, as essential to honest administration as; freedom f Fpeo h is -to representative government." Ho quoted Lincoln's ideal of a "government of the peop'e; by the people, ;-nd for the people" and declared that the task of establishing it was still un'inished.

MYSTERY STILL SHROUDS DEATH OF HAZEL BROOKS

Coroner and Police Admit No Evidence Is Found to Determine Suicide or Murder as Cause of Death. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Hazel Prooks. prominent in South Pond's underworld several years ago, last night at 12 6 N. Main st.. were not cleared Saturday morning. (Suicide, murder and natural death are three theories which are being held by the police department and Coroner T. J. Swartz. The hitter .said Saturday morning that he was not vet ready to make public an opinion and John Kuespert, chief of detectives declared that as yet any one of the threo theories might hold good. No one has yet been able to uncover the identity of the person with whom the Prooks woman was alleged to have had an altercation two or three days ago. Bruises on the woman's body indicated that blows had been intlicted. Her body was discovered by 1 Larry Booker, for whom the woman kept house, upon his return from work at a local cigar factory. She was lying in a pool of blood across the bed, evidently having suffered a hemorrhage of the nose. Now hruises on her scalp and probable internal injuries substantiate the theory that she came to her death from some outside cause. No sign of Struggle. It has not yet been ascertained whether the wounds were intlicted by the Brooks woman herself or by an assailant. No sign of a struggle in the room was found, and as yet no motive has been found for anyone murdering the woman. The post-mortem examination conducted by Coroner T. J. Swantz and his assistant. Dr. C. B. Crumpacker, showed no internal injuries except a bruise "on the skull, which was not considered to be sufficient to cause death. The examination showed an enlargement of the heart and stomach, which miuht have resulted in death. No ofhcial verdict is to be given out until further investigations have been made. The theory that Hazel Brooks came to her death through natural causes is substantiated by the fact that she was known to be. a heavy user of liquor, a partially tilled quart bottle of whisky being found near her body by the police. Evidences of some sort of a light in whicli the Brooks woman engaged a few days ago, were found en her body, which contained several wounds and bruises. The wounds were partly healed, giving rise to the opinion that they were sustained about three or four days ago. .Who her opponent was in the light is one of the things that yet remains to be discovered. Tw o of the bruises on her body might have. been made Friday, and although they were considered by Dr. Swantz to be insufficient to cause death, they were located in such a position as to make it appear possible that the vbtim might have been temporarily stunned by them. The room in which Hazel Brooks was found has been occupied by her and Booker for the past three years, according to relatives of Booker. It is located on the third iloor, over the China and An.erba chop suey restaurant. Previous to the time "that she came to keep house for Hooker the I hooks woman was at different times an inmate of a number of west end dive.--. It is- expected that more light will be thrown on th- possible cause of her death by several acquaintances and by Broker. who claimed last night tli.it lie knew of no one who miuht have murdered the woman. IVtei-tives Diver. Woltrrs and Dilinski were detailed on the as.- Friday nUht. It is r.ot known whether or not Ifaz' I Pro,;;s lias any relatives in this b-cality. Her father's dath occurred about a month ago in Oklahoma. Funeral serviees win probably be held at the Russell chapel, where she was taken Friday .afternoon. ARCHBISHOP TO PREACH AT ST.
