Fl PAsO AWAITS THE ORDER Of JUDGE
INECHEM TOBU|LD ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM

evening, to allow the workmen TO come
to Ell Paso to do their trading and re-
turn to the work after spending their
Sundays in town. This means the ex-
penditure of large sums, as the men
who are employed on these projects
buy the best and pay cash.
Later, when the SOC men beg1n TO
swarm over the dam site, the need for
concrete making materials will be
great. Having the biggest cement plant
in the southwest, FL PaSo will be the
logical point as a source of supply. In
creased demand will mean increased pro-
duction al the Portland mills, and that
in turn viii mean larger forces, more
mills and an added revenue for Ell PaSo
and her merchants.
100000 Barrels of Cement Needed.
1t is estimated by the reclamation
service engineers that 1T will require
approximately $4,000 cubic yards Of
concrete for the dam itself. This means
a total Of about 400, 600 barrels of ce-
ment, or roughly the entire output OF
the present plant running steady for
one year The transportation Of this
material alone will mean more freight

MAIL SHOULD GO TO
OFFICE EARLIER
In This Way Much of 1t that Fails to
Catch the Outgoing Trains Would
Get Off on Time.

Superintendent of delivery Gibson, of
the pOstoffice,. wishes to add another
don't to the list he prepared last week
for the guidance Of the public. The lat
est one is addressed to the banks and
large business houses, which have the
habit of mailing large bundles of first
class matter a few minutes before and
sometimes a few minutes after the %
minute limit fixed for closing the out
going mails in the evening
AZ the mail is required to be at the
station at least 20 minutes before The
train is due 20 leave, the result of the
flood of mail at the last minute IS to
tie up the office and much of the mat
ter which is mailed at the eleventh hour
does not leave until the following day.
BY sending over a part of the mail
earlier in the afternoon, the superin-
tendent of delivery says that this trou-
BILE could be avoided and mail sent out
the same night it is put in the office
This would allow the clerks to work
1t before the sacks are closed.

HEAVY WAGONS
CUT THE PAVING

The soft paving these hot days is be-
ing badly cut up by heavily loaded
wagons passing over it while it is so
soft that the wheels cut into the street
paving and leave permanent mark.
The heavy truck of the c. H. Lawrence
company passed along Texas street
Tuesday afternoon with a load of grain
on the wagon which weighed several
tons, according to bystanders. Once the
wagon was stalled in front of the Toll
tee club because the horses could not
pull the load, and at each footprint a
scar would appear in the paving, while
the wheels sunk into the soft top coat
OF the street.
The new Petrolithic pavement out the
extension of Magoffin avenue from the
car barns to the county road is already
very badly cut up.

/ you, captain, that this condition fits
in every detail the clinical experiences
f: of nerve specialists and the medical
experiences of the psychologists. Aft
er five hours constant cross-question-
ing while in a semi-dazed condition,
you impressed on him your own ideas
you extracted from him not the
thoughts that were in his own con-
seriousness, but those that were in
yours. Is that the scientific fact, doc
tori"
YES" replied DR.. Bernstein, "the
optical captivation of Howard JEFF
fries attention makes the whole case
complete and clear to the physician"
Capt Clinton laughed loudly.
optical captivation is good" Turn
ing to his sergeant he asked: What
do you think of that, Maloney?"
Sergt. Maloney chuckled.

Interrupted the lawyer sternly, but
it's new to us. We're barely on the
threshold of the discovery. 1t GER

ed the captain, shaking his head. 81

Judge Brewster sat down. Looking
the policeman squarely in the face,
he said slowly and deliberately:
Capt. Clinton, whether you &C
knowledge 1t or not, can prove that
you obtained these confessions by
means of hypnotic suggestion, and
that is a greater crime against society
than any the state Furnishes or pays
you to prevent"
The captain laughed and shrugged
his shoulders. Indifferently he said:
Il guess the boys up at Albany can
deal with that question:
THE boys up at Albany" retorted
the lawyer, know as little about the
laws of Psychology as you do. This
will be dealt with at Washington"
The captain yawned
L didn't come here to hear about
that-you were going to produce the
woman who called on Underwood the
night of the murder-that was what I
came here for-not to hear my meth
DDS criticised-where is she?"
"One thing at a time" replied the

that we know Howard Jeffries' con-
fession is untrue Now we'll take I'D
the other question" Striking a bell
on his desk, he added: This woman
can prove that Robert Underwood
committed suicide"
she can, eh?' exclaimed the can
tain sarcastically. Maybe she did il
herself. Some one did it, that's sure,"
The library door opened and the
butler entered
Yes, some one did it," retorted the
Judge; we agree there," To the
servant he said: ASK Mrs. Jeffries,
Jr., to come here"
The servant left the room and the
captain turned to the Judge with a
laugh:
rs she the one? Ha! ha.-that's
easy"
The judge nodded.
She has promised. to produce the !
missing witness tonight"
She has, eh?'' exclaimed the cap /
tain.
Rising quickly from his chair, he
crossed the room and talked in an
undertone with his sergeant. This
new turn in the case seemed to inter /
est him. Meantime Mr.. Jeffries, who
had followed every phase of the ques-
tioning with close attention. left his
seat and went over to Judge Brewster.
