Des Moines April S.-"The lesson OF
the unfortunate incident of the escape
of the inebriates from the Indepen-
dence hospital is obvious" said Judge
G.. S. Robinson, of the state board of
control today. THE men who broke
away were not at work, else they would
not have been out for exercise in care
of attendants. The most OF these men
are those who never did any work and
they will not begin now. There is
plenty of work for all of them at the
hospital, if only they would do some
thing, but they are too lazy and worth
ual labor. They are sane persons,
hence they can and will conspire TO es-
cape, and in this respect the problem
of keeping them is much more difficult
than in the case of the insane. The
forty or more inebriates had evidently
planned to get away and chose an OPP
perfume time. There is not much loss
to them or to the state that they are
gone. But the effect is bad on those
who remain and those who are honestly
trying to be benefited by the treatment.
The effect is even worse on the insane
patients at the hospitals. Even at
Cherokee where there have been no
attempts at escape until recently there
is restlessness among the inebriates. It
is evident that the only way we are to.
keep them in is to assign an attendant
to each one-and this we cannot do.
The experience at Mt. Pleasant and In
dependence but emphasizes the neces-
sity for separate institution for the
inebriates. 1t Is all wrong to place
them in the hospitals with the insane.
The system must be changed, and that
for the good Of both the insane and the
inebriates."

Iowa Falls, April S.-A temperance
crusade of lpretentious proportions has
been launched in this city headed by
Mayor j. n. Funk, who opened the ball
with a red-hot speech at the Baptist
church. The drug stores of the city
were scored and the Illegal sale of IL
quor wherever found or met was de-
nounced in unequivocal terms. The
speaker called upon the people to take
action, looking to the strict observance
of the laws governing the sale of Ii
Quors and committee was appointed
to raise funds with which to hire legal
talent to prosecute violators of the
law. The meeting was wildly enthus-
iastic one and the speaker was cheered
as he denounced alleged local violations
of the law. Other meetings will be
planned and other speakers will be
heard on the subject. Unless the pres
ent temperance boom should be side
tracked, red-hot campaign seems as
sured. The. recent Indictment of sew
eral druggists in the county appears
to have inaugurated the crusade.

Some Interesting Tests Made
by the Civil Engineering
Department at Ames
PAVING STATISTICS COLLECTED
Asphalt Found to be More Expensive
Than Brick, But Is Regarded as Ideal
for Residence Districts-Brick More
Durable Where Traffic Is Heavy or
the Grade Steep.
snecial to Iames-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, April S.-During the past three
years the civil engineering department
has been making thousands of tests
of Iowa paving brick. and Professor
Marston, us chairman of committee
of the state engineering society, has
been collecting statistics of all brick
paving in the state. These statistics
are now published in the form of an
exhaustive report, which can be OBJ
tanned upon application.
Printed blanks were sent out to all
Iowa cities having brick pavements,
;nquiring the amount of paving, the
kind of brick, the character of the foun-
dation. the cost, the kind of curbing,
and also inquiring the experience and
the opinions regarding all important
features of the construction and main
tainance of brick pavements. In the re-
port replies to these questions are Civ
en-, in detail. A large table giving the
most important statistics of brick paw
ing in Iowa, has been constructed.
From this table it appears that there
were in the state at the close of 1901.
209.26 miles, or 4,030,696 square yards
of brick pavement, the cost of which
has ranged from s1.04 up to $1.9S per
square yard. AT the same date there
were 11.76 miles or 1a2,SS4 square yards
of asphalt pavement. the cost of which
has ranged from $1.5S to s1.S9 per
square yard. In general the asphal,
is more expensive than the brick. The
amount of asphalt has been materially
increased since 1901.
In general there are two classes OF
brick paving according to the founda-
tions placed underneath the surface
layer of brick. In the best paving the
foundation consists of about six inches
of concrete, but a somewhat cheaper
pavement can be constructed by max
ing the foundation of a layer of brick
laid fatwise on. bed of sand. The
cheaper method is suited to streets
where the traffic is light and the soil
good.
The report was read at meeting of
the State Engineering Society, at which
the relative merits of brick and as
phalt paveing were discussed at some
length The general opinion seemed to
be that asphalt makes the ideal paving
for residence streets and other streets
not having too heavy traffic or too steep
grades. However, it costs more than
brick, and cannot stand as heavy traf-
fic as the best brick payements. There
have been very few failures of brick
pavements in the state, and many. and
even the older pavements. appear to be
good for long time yet.
In the report cuts of typical cross
sections of streets in nearly every Iowa
city having payements are given.

Mr.. Munroe said this morning that
the Muscatine bridge company had
not been approached by the new rail-
road corporation, and he knew nothing
of the project, further than the rumor
that such road was being contemplat-
ed. He said. however, that the road
bridge here could easily be converted
into a bridge that could be used for
railroad purposes. All that will be
necessary he said, will be to build adj
ditional piers and install a draw. The
soundings of the river have all been
made, and the bridge could be put to its
new use with much less expense than
would be occasioned by the construc-
ton of new bridge.
