| SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-Edwin
Duryea, formerly chief engineer of the
Bay Cities Water company, resumed
his testimony in the Crothers-Older
case this morning. His direct examina-
tion will occupy the entire afternoon
session of the court and the defense will
not take him in hand for cross -eXamin-
alton until tomorrow morning.
Assistant District Attorney William
Hoff Cook, who is conducting the prosev
cution, stated today that he will re-
quire two to three days yet to put in
the remainder of the prosecutions re-
butta testimony.
From present indications it is evi-
dent the case will not go TO the jury
before the latter part of next week,
which will be the fourth week of the
trial.
Duryea this morning testified as to
the relative cost of the Hetch- Hetchy
and Bay Cities water projects. He
went into minute details as to the cost,
size of pipes. mileage and carrying ca
pacity of the Bay Cities system. The
pipe line for the latter system, he said,
was twenty miles shorter than the
Hetch-Hetchy plan; would cost S22,-
100000 and S10,500,000 to develop an i'm
mediate supply of SS000,000 gallons

was far purer than that of the MAJOR

detail the Hetch-Hetchy water project
as submitted TO the city by former
Mayor James d. Phelan Duryea told
of his investigation of the source of
that system last July. in which he was
assisted by ten other engineers and
assistants.
As the result of that investigation he
gave the jury figures to show that If

CHICAGO, March 19.-The "Psychol-

consideration at the convention of the

Hunt, president of the association. In
making the announcement President
Hunt said:
There is certainly a psychology of
mats entirely aside from the fact that
the souls of a majority of women are
in their hats. If every woman would
only look in the glass when trying on
mats, and instead of giving her undi-
vided attention to the hat would study
the outline of her face seen under the
hat, she would then look with scientific
approval or disapproval upon the hat.

you will always look up to date and

own fancy, but in the public eye as
