NO POLITICS IN BILES FOR ROADS SALE OF HERALD Both Republicans and Demo crats Are Among Its New Owners Washington, Dec. B.—The Wash ington Ilerald announces to-day that C. T. Bralnard has sold his con trolling interest in the paper to Wal ter S. Rogers, Horman Suter, Charles R. Crane, Julius H. Barnes, Herbert Hoover and others. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Suter will be in active charge of the paper. It is stated that the transfer of the Washington Herald has no po litical significance, as among the new owners are both Republicans and Democrats. The Washington Herald was estab lished in 1906 by Scott C. Bone, ilr many years editor of the Washington Post. Mr. Bralnard, president of Harper Brothers and owner of the McClure and Wheeler newspaper syndicates, purchased a controlling interest in the paper in October, 1913. He states in his announce ment that he is disposing of his con trol because his other interests pre vent his living in Washington and giving the paper his personal at tention. Walter S. Rogers suggested and directed the American Government's cable and wireless news service dur ing the war, which sent American news to most of the countries of the world. During Peace Conference he continued this news service and had charge of ijia Government's rela tions with the press of the world other than that of the United States.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ON BUSINESS PLAN Tells Highway Officers of the Nation What Pennsyl vania Is Doing (Special to The Telegraph.) Ixuiisvillc, Ky., Dec. B.—George H. Biles, Assistant State Highway Commissioner of Pennsylvania, to day at the opening session of the American Association of State High way Officials declared that in hand ling the huge sums of money every where being appropriated for better highways efficient business methods must be employed. "If the people of the United States," said Mr. Biles, "are to con tinue to put money into good roads in the future as they have been do ing for the last year, they will in sist upon an honest return for the money Invested. Never In the his tory of the country has there ■ been so tremendous an expenditure for publip Improvements as is now planned for better highways and this money must be Judiciously ex pended. "In the present era it reqiures courage to disburse vast sums of public money, especially in such a physical thing as highway construc tion; courage to do the right thing In spite of the selfish aims and im portunities of Individuals or com munities. Time will vindicate k work well done, but things done in moments of ill-considered action are irretrievable." Mr. Biles said that the Judicious expenditure of money depends upon the personnel of the Btnte Highway Department which is making the expenditure. Zealous and efficient men must be secured, he said who are responsive at all times to the demands of the situation and who will work as a team for the realiza tion of the alms and purposes of the executive. In developing an organization, combining technical fend business H functions, for work on a large scale, |l such as a Btate Highway Depart- HI ment. said Mr. Biles, "it is our EX theory that statutes should be B passed empowering the State or- B ganizatlon to supervise expenditures fiD nnd operations, and extend engi- fl nff a ? d a- roads canlH be extended to the counties on sec- ; B I ondary systems or roads of local im-'ES portance, which tie into the main HI J, 1 ' B '™: with the ultimate satisfac- ! B ,n B , ee l" K roads bullt . not for B any selfish interest, but to meet the ! B demands of traffic, starting some-< fl /here and ending somewhere, and !IE good highways.
