TESTS TO DETERMINE
SHEAR|NG EFFECTS

Washington April 2S-In order to
ascertain the shearing effect on ma
cadamized roads of automobiling at
high speed, the department of agri
culture today conducted some inter
esting tests. The first experiments
were conducted on a stretch of two
miles of the conduit road on the Mary
land shore of the Potomac river, The
road was badly torn up and the ma
chimes left behind clouds of dust. Re-
turning to the city the cars were run
through series of tests on the speed
way, where the surface had been
oiled These proved highly satisfac
tory, there being practically complete
absence of dust and the roads suffered
only slight injury.
Moving pictures Of the passing au-
tomobies which were taken today will
be exhibited at the Alaska Yukon Pa
cific exposition in connection with the
exhibit there of the department Of
agriculture.

Associations Good Work.
The reports of the years work of
the national association will be pre-
sented at this meeting showing a
large amount of work accomplished
by the organization The most sig
nificant piece of work which the asso-
citation has carried to completion dur
ing the past year was the meeting
of the International Congress on Tu-
berculoSis at Washington, d. c.,
where nearly 1000 delegates from 33
different countries were assembled.
In preparation for this meeting, the
national association issued a special
directory of all of the tuberculosis
associations and institutions in the
United States and Canada. Another
feature of the years work of the ma
tional association has been it's travel
ing exhibits. Three of these EXHIBITS
are now conducted by the national
association one is at the present
time in Georgia, another in Kansas,
and a third in Porto Rico. AS a re-
suit of the efforts of these three eX-
hibits, the state legislatures of Kan
sas, Tennessee, Porto Rico, and Ne
braska, have passed laws and appro-
priated nearly $150,000 for the relief
and prevention of tuberculosis. A
large number of local associations
have been formed in the various
cities where the exhibits of the ma
tional association have been shown.
Under the stimulus of the work of
the national association, the number
of state and local anti-tuberculosis
societies in the United States have
shown over 100 per cent increase dur
ing the past year; the number OF
sanatoria and hospitals for tuber-
culosis, nearly 30 per cent increase;
and the number of special tuberculo-
sis dispensaries and clinics, over 40
per cent increase. The rate of in
crease in the number of workers is
estimated as over 200 per cent, and
the amounts given for tuberculosis re-
lief have been doubled during the
year
Thirty-three legislatures, out of SO
in session up to May 1, 1909, have
been considering laws pertaining to
the prevention or treatment of tuber-
culosis. In a large number of states
legislation affecting this subject has
already been enacted and more laws
will be passed before the close of the
spring session.
The national association reports
that this past year has been more
successful in the amount Of interest
shown in the anti-tuberculOsis cam
paign, and in the number of insttu-
tions and associations established
than the entire period previous to

MISSING WITNESS In
THORPE CASE FOUND
Jones Surrenders to Under Sheriff,
and Explains Attorney Had
Told Him He Was Not
Wanted

L. E. Jones, the missing witness In
the Thorpe divorce case, turned up un-
expectedly yesterday. While the trial
of Anna Louise Thorpe's action against
ner husband, Arthur, c. Thorpe, was in
progress deputies were searching for
Jones, who was regarded as Mrs.
Thorpe's most important witness. The
belief that he was seeking to evade the
process of the court was expressed by
Judge Monroe yesterday.
Jones surrendered himself to Under
Sheriff Dishman about 2 o'clock and
was taken to the courtroom of depart
ment six He told Judge Monroe he
was served with a subpoena to be
present at the trial, but when the case
was called February Attorney Ball of
Mrs. Thorpe's counsel said he would not
be needed that day. Again on Tues
day, the day when the hearing was be-
gun, Attorney Ball said he would notify
Jones when he was needed. 1t was on
Tuesday that Judge Monroe issued a
personal attachment for the real estate
man.

Before Jones could reply, Mrs. Jones,
who occupied a seat at the lawyers S
table, exclaimed: HE was at home with
me; l was ILL
You are not a witness in this case, -
remarked the judge sternly.
Judge Monroe decided that as the at
torney had told Jones he would notify
him when he was wanted the case
would be dismissed. There is no queS-
ton, however, that there was an at
tempt to evade the process of the

Municipal Affairs
SAYS STORM WATERS
MUST BE DIVERTED
City Engineer Declares OutfaII Sewer
Is OVertaxed, Being Used for
Purposes Not Originally
intended

Unless some plan is conceived be-
tween now and next season to take
care of the great amount of storm wa
ter that must be handled each winter
City Engineer Hamlin fears the ca
pacity of the outfall sewer will be over
taxed. The board Of public works yes
terday gave him authority to make an
investigation and recommend some
method of remedying the trouble.
The city engineers forces measured
the flow of the outfal sewer during
the recent heavy rains and found it
was flowing to within 80 per cent of
it's capacity. Before the next rainy.
season eighty miles of additional
sewer will have been laid. and with
this flow the sewer will not be able 20
take care of the sewage proper and
the storm water.
The outfall is designed to care only
for the sewage and not the storm wa
ter. Some of the old storm water
drains in the city connect with the
sewage system and carry water into
the outfall; open manholes help to
swell the flow, and cutters on private
residences connected with house sew
ers contribute to the amount of water
that passes into the outfall.
The city engineer must find some
way to divert this storm water from
the outfall. The Outfall, the engineer
says, is fully adequate to serve the
needs of the city for many years to
come if used only for its proper pur-
pose, but if it has to take care of the
surface flow as we'll it will be over
taxed every winter

with Phillips only two months before
they were married in 1902.
While on a camping trip in 1907 he
threatened to kill myself and the chli-
dren and leave our bodies in the can
yon," said Mrs. Phillips. ''On another
occasion he became angry and said he
would like to cut our hearts out, place
them on a plank and watch them
culver in the sun. He said there was
only one thing that deferred him, and
that was the fear of the law"

PROPERTY OWNERS TO
BEAR MAIN EXPENSE
Engineer HamIin Thinks City Should
Pay Only for Bridge Super
structure, Which Will Be
About $4,000

The city probably will build a bridge
across the Arroyo Seco at Avenue %,
if the property owners who will re-
ceive the benefit pay the cost.
Such, in substance, was the report
and recommendation Of the city en-
gineer to the board of public works
yesterday. The Federal bank petit
toned the board to construct a bridge
across Avenue %. The city engineer
reports that before a bridge can be
built the city will have to acquire a
right Of way from the Salt Lake rail-
road. Using three spans of the old
Main street bridge for the superstruc-
ture he estimates the cost, exclusive
of the right of way, as $780, He rec
ommends that the property owners Sc
cure the right of way and pay for the
substructure and improving the ap-
proaches. The city, he recommends,
should pay the cost of the superstruc-
ture. The city's share on this basis
would be about $1,000.
Engineer Hamlin says there is no
great necessity for a bridge at this
place, as there is one at Avenue 20
and another at Avenue 26.

MRS. JONES HAS
ONE MORE ALIAS
IN MILLINERY BUSINESS AS
MRS. M. BLAIRIA
Witness Testifies Hats Were Bought
for $5 and Sold for So, Defend
ant Netting So on Each
Transaction

Mrs. Minnie Jones, whose aliases al
ready number ten or more, was identi-
fed by Mrs. Mary E. Holford yesterday
as a woman who, under the name of
Mrs. NJ. Blairia, induced her to embark
in the millinery business to the extent
of S150, all of which she believes to be
beyond recovery. Mrs. Holford lives at
S46 South Figueroa street. She was in
Justice Stephens court yesterday and
recognized the woman charged by
George w. Harmer with obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Il knew the woman as Mrs. NJ.
Blairia,'' said Mrs. Holford. "She came
to me in October with a proposition to
join her in the millinery business. The
plan was for me to purchase hats from
her at $5 each, and she agreed to sell
them at her place of business, 252 South
Broadway, getting as much as she
could for them and dividing the pro
ceeds with me. 1 spent in all $3.50. The
hats were kept at my home as an evil
dence of her good faith, but when she
wanted any at the store she would send,

asking me to send the required num-

was paid $8 for each hat. Where thew

Mrs. Holford said the woman dropped
out of sight in a few weeks and she
heard nothing more of her until she
met Max Lowenstein, who, she claims,
was associated with the milliner
