NEW YORK. Feb Pr. c. Dun x
Co.'S weekly review of trade February
23 will say:
Weather conditions have been favor
able for trade and transportation in
many sections Industrial returns are
uniformly encouraging. mills and fac
tories having so much business in sight
that no machinery Is idle except in
cases where fuel deliveries are unsat-
sfactory or the labor supply made
quatc. Farm staples are steady
New contracts for steel products are
constantly pending, much foreign bust
ness competing with domestic orders
and the mills retain a position of indc-
pendence.
Abnormally severe weather has made
deliveries so erratic that much COM
plaint is heard and stocks of fuel at
mills and furnaces are often so long
that full activity is impossible, but
these influences only tend to promise
more business later, as delayed con-
tracts are seldom lost.

MRS, SIMPSON REGRETS
CHARGING HER HUSBAND
Fails to Appear in Court
When Neglect Case Is
to Be Heard
JUDGE IS INDIGNANT
Issues Bench Warrant and
Says Complainant Is
Untrustworthy
JUDGE is INDIGNANT

ALAMEDA, June 21.-Mrs. Isabelle
Davis Simpson failed to appear in the
iustice,s court today to prove the
charge Of failure to provide that she
had made against her husband, Attor-
ney M. w. Simpson. A bench warrant
wass issued for her arrest by Judge e.
r. Johnson. with instructions to Deputy
Constable George D. Gray to have her
In court next Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock.
i After he had waited an hour for the
complainant, Judge Johnson became i'm
patient and remarked:
.HThis woman was regularly sub
penaed and promised faithfully that she
would be here on time. She has not
kept her word or sent any excuse for
her absence, and now l would not be
inclined to believe her under oath. She
is evidently seeking notoriety and not
relief. else she would not treat the
court in this disrespectful manner. /
will issue bench warrant for her ar
rest and order that she be brought be-
fore me next Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock
Deputy District Attorney w. H. l.
Hynes, who was on hand to conduct the
prosecution, who was also indignant at
the action of Mrs. Simpson in ignoring
subpoena of the court, said:
IF this woman is of the belief that
she can make a collection agency out
of this court she will be surprisingly
deceived Mrs. Simpson repeatedly
came to the district attorneys office
with her troubles and now when the
office is ready to assist her she fails to
be where she was legally ordered to be-"
NJ. Stuart Taylor, who has been rep
resenting Mrs. Simpson, also failed to
be on hand when the case was called.
He sent no excuse for the absence of
himself or client. Simpson was present
and prepared to make a defe4se and tell
the court what he was willing to do
toward providing for his wife. He has
been paying her $3.50 month for the
care of the child.
1t was said today that Mrs. Simpson
was noteso desirous now of prosecuting
the charge of failure to provide against
her husband as she was two weeks ago
and that she would like to have the
matter compromised.

tween the shoulders. and. as he partly
turned and was falling, she fired again
and continued firing as he went down.
There was a big crowd in the saloon

A stray bullet struck kitty" Bruno, a
negro, in the ankle. Five shots were
fired in all, four of which took effect
in the back of Davis.

The News Letter this week has a
great claim on the thanks of the pub
lie. for it is a directory of the summer
resorts of California. In descriptive
agreeable and graceful manner it gives
all the information necessary to the
camper and the seeker after a vacation
spot. 1t not only publishes the loca-
ton, but also gives information as to
the means of getting there, the cost of
entertainment and many other details
that will commend themselves to the
reader In addition to this there are
the usual number of pages devoted to
the interests of the week. The Sub
urbanite department furnishes much
information regarding the transbay
and peninsular cities. The fact that the
daily newspapers have forgotten to
chronicle the utterances of the labor
union men at Walton's pavilion does
not deter the News Letter from giving
journal is to be had at every news

RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

The proposition of the Great West
ern Sugar company to stand one-third
of the expense of macadamizing the
Weld county roads up to a total
expenditure of $500. 900 is the kind of
back talk We like to hear. If there
is any one thing that Weld county
needs more than good roads it is
more good roads and 1t looks now as
though we were going to get them.
After fifty or sixty miles of perma-
nent roads have been constructed
the cost of maintenance will be COM
paratively small. The money here
tofore expended in expensive repairs
on these roads can then be used for
making more macadamiezd roads.
As the assessed valuation of the
county grows larger fund can also
be set aside for road purposes and
more permanent roads built. The
original $500, 600 will thus become a
self .perpetuating road fund that will
eventually mean the macadamizing
OF every road in the county. The
benefit to the farmers through this
source will greatly enhance the value
of their farms as no small per cent
of the cost of farming goes. into haul
ing the farm products to market.
The county commissioners cannot
get to work on this proposition any
too soon to suit the people of Weld
county or we are no judges of public
opinion.

Emile Goudeau. celebrated charac

He approached him, therefore, In as
