B. & O. PICNIG.
Arrangements are being made for |
the thir y-second arnual retnion of
the B. & O. railroad employes,
known throughout the system as
the ‘‘Jennie Smith’ picnic, which
will be held at the picturesque Is-
land Park, Harper's Ferry, on July
31. The entertainment committee,
composed of C. G. Spurrier, chair-
man; J. W. Gardner, assistant chale-
man, and 65 associates have outlined
a program which will include several
novel features and it is expected
that the 1913 gathering will surpass
all previous ones in interest and
enjoyment. The eustomary accom-
modations will be provided by the
railroad company to enable the em-
ployes and their families and
friends ‘to reach the Island.
As on former occasions, Miss Jen-
nie Smith, railroad evangelist, who
originated the reunion idea just
thirty-two years ago and who has
loyally -attended every one of them,
will be the central figure of the
day. She will give one of inter-
esting talks to her ‘boys’ who
have named the picnic in her honor.
Miss Jennie, as she is affectionalely
termed 'by the railroad men, has de-
voted a life-time to work amongst
them.’ ? ¢
Others whe will address the rail-
roaders be Rev. B. I. McGowan,
pastor of the Bennett Memerial
church. Baltimore and Secretary T.

the Young Men’s Christian Associ-
ation. The celebrated Bailey Quar-
tet, consisting of Eev. E. E. Bailey

WASHINGTON LETTER. |
Special 10 The Commercial.
Washington, July 14.—Few new
Congressmen ever had so large a net
result to their credit, to show for
their efforts in behalf of their consti-
tuents, as can be claimed by William
Kettner of San Diego, Cal. But just
at this time Congressman Kettner is
not rejoicing over the consummation
of any plans of his own; he is brag-
ging about the people of his home
town—beg pardon, City—which voted,
only a few days ago, by the over-
whelming odds of sixteen to one and
better, to issue $850,000 in municipal
bonds to carry on the plans of the
San Diego Exposition. “I knew
they’d po it,’ exclaimed Congress-
man Kettner; ‘‘those people are not
welchers. They make. good. It’s
one thing to vote bonds for schools,
hospitals, sewers or water works, but
‘when people go down into their own
pockets to pay for an exposition, to
make good their promises to the
world, ‘it’s going some,’ and espe-
cially when they have already voted
one bond issue of $1,000,000, and sub-
scribed another million.”
RUSH TO GET SPACE.
It is disclosing no confidences to
say that San Diego never expected
that its Panama Exposition would at-
tain its present proportions. But it
has now become strictly international,
fifteen foreign governments having
signified their desire to secure space
to date. Beside this there will be in-
dividual state exhibits, eleven states
having accepted the invitation to par-
ticipate. In some cases where states
did not vote, dppropriations for this
purpose, citizens’ movements have
been organized to secure exhibits
which will do credit to such states.
With the demands being made for
space the various buildings were
found to be toc small, as at first
‘planned, and they had to ke enlarged,
some of them more than once. Then
the cost was found to ke exceeding
the fund available. But President D.
C. Collier felt that it would not do to
refuse the applications and the man-
agement agreed with him. It was
found that $850,000 would meet the
increased cost of enlarging the exhi-
bit buildings, and when the question
of issuing bonds to raise the sum was
put to the people, they showed, as
stated, by a vote of sixteen to one,
what they thought of it. Can anyone
doubt, with such a splendid spirit,
that San Diego will make of its ex-
position an unqualified success?

For Good Roads.
Harrisburg, Pa., July 14.—Approval
of the general appropriation bill with
its items for construction and main-
tenance of State roads, which is ex-|
pected from the Governor’s hands the |
latter part of this week, will be fol- |
lowed by considerable aetivity on the |
part of the State Highway Depart- |
ment in various sections of the State.
Estimates have been prepared by
engineers of the Departmeht on a
dozen or more pieces of State high-
way and on as many other roacs on
which State-aid has been. asked by
the counties. The plen is to receive
bids for this work during the summer
and let the contracts so that opera-
tions may begin early in the fall.
The Highway Department will also
undertake considerable repair work
with its own men, and take steps to
perfect its maintenance “system
throughout the State. Failure of the
Legislature to pass the general appro-
priation bill until the closing night of
the session has held up all funds since
June 1st, ard consequently no new
work could be undertaken, although
numerous requests have'been received
for the rebuilding of roads, expecially
those of the State-aid variety.
Under the terms of the general ap-
propriation bill, funds are provided
for reconstruction of main State high-
ways, State-aid road building, main-
tenance and repair work on main and
State-aid roads, all to be taken out of
the general State revenues. The un-
satisfactory nature of this method of
financing the great road building pro-
gram is well illustrated in the fact
that the Legislature has appropriated
$89,000,000 out of these revenues,
whereas the revenues themselves will
amount to only $62,000,000 for the
two years covered by these appro-
priations. Asa result, the Governor
must cut $27,000,000 out of the appro-
priations, and the road appropriations
may have to be reduced along with
those for various other public works
and charities.
1f the people iu November will rati-
fy the $50,000,000 bond issue, ample
funds will be provided for carrying
on the reconstruction of the high-
