WITNESS AND ATTORNEY
WAR IN PALO VERDE CASE
Civil Engineer ArouseS Wrath of
Lawyer by Calling Him
'Shyster'

Closing hours of the Palo Verde land
case hearing yesterday were lively
ones. Attorney Lucius Chase. repre-
senting the intervenors, recalled j. II.
Levering, the civil engineer who was
an important witness in the case, ana
asked him If it was not fact that he
Hevering) had been indicted at one
time on a charge Of perjury.
The question reused LeVerings
wrath, and a collision between the wit
ness and attorney seemed imminent.
Leyering answered that he had been
accused as stated, and insisted on
stating the facts.
Attorney Chase would not permit him
10 do so. Pressed to say if the case
was not one In which the United States
government was complainant, Levering
replied: :.
was brought by just such shyster
as you"
show his ire, and he was equal to the
occasion, After he had expressed his
INDIGNATION, he asked few more
questions, and then the attorneys for
the state cross-examined Levering.
They brought out the fact that the
charge against Levering was dismissed
for the reason that there was no evil
dence to support it.
The most of the closing hours We're
taken up by the examination of vari-
Gus witnesses who told of the nature
of vegetation in the Palo Verde val
ley. Though their testimony was un-
interesting to the large number of
people who were in attendance in the
court room throughout the hearing, all
seemed to await further developments
in the clash between Levering and
Chase.
The state will have thirty days in
which to submit briefs. and then the
government will have thirty days in
which to reply. The case will then
be left for the state surveyor general
TO render a decision, and then it will
reach the authorities at Washington
for final action. 1t will be several
months before the final decision will be
rendered.

CONCRETE EXPERIMENTS
ON THE PANAMA CANAL
Efforts Made to Determine Result
of Sea Water Action

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-With the
last of the three barges built of con-
crete just completed for work, otti-
cials of the Isthmian canal are to un-
dertake further novel experiments with
this construction material.
According to a report from the canal
zone experiments are to be underta-
ken at once on the Atlantic and Pacific
divisions of the canal to determine the
effect of sea water on the concrete for
the lower locks at Gatun and Mira
flores. The object is to ascertain
whether steps will be necessary to pro
tect the concrete. Slabs of concrete
will be left in their natural state and
some will be treated with sodium Sill
cate in the form of soluble glass IN
solutions of different strength, ana
some of them will be treated with
alum and soap, using three-quarters
of a pound of soap to gallon OF wa
ter, applied boiling hot for the first
wash, and twenty-four hours later a
solution of alum, two ounces to the
gallon applied cold.
The only walls that will be SUBJECT
ed to action of salt water will be those
Of the lower sea level locks and the
guide walls leading into the locks.
At Mirahores about 100000 square rect
of surface will be thus exposed ana at
Gatun about 1,270,0 900 square feet.

Theatres.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
"a Little Brother of the Rich," by
Joseph Medill Patterson, a book which a
year ago created a sensation in literary
circles, has been made into brilliant
drama and will be given its first presenta-
ton in Philadelphia by the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre
this week.
This is another of the famous Liebler
productions secured by Manager Laferty
and should prove exceptionally interest
ing because it has not yet been seen in
Philadelphia.
Society WINGED when Mr.. Patterson
wrote IA Little Brother of the Rich. !"
Society rose up and denounced the book
because the book unfolded pages in soci-
ety's life that society preferred to keep
sealed. Society said Joseph Medill Pat
terson was medd1er and was misinform-
ed besides Mr.. Patterson smiled rather
grimly and kept right on at the thing he
had set himself to do. Instead OF sup
pressing the book about the immoral rich,
Mr.. Patterson called in Miss Harriet Ford
to help him, and together they drama
tized "a Little Brother of the Rich, and
now everybody can see it and judge
whether society has been maligned or
not
"a Little Brother of the Rich" in book
form made the literary sensation of the
play. "a Little Brother of the Rich" Ill
its stage presentation was the dramatic
sensation of last season in New York. In
book you can describe, but on the stage
you can show. In the stage version "A
Little Brother" Paul Potter, the man
who is ready to sacrifice any and every
thing to social ambition, lives. So does
Muriel, the fa1se-1iving society butterfly
whose social waywardness ruins so many
men. All of the characters made famous
in the book have place in the play.
AUDITORIUM THEATRE, BURLINGTON
THE MocKINe BIRD.
With long record of successes in the
field of music and opera the Delanco
Choral Society has now arranged for the
presentation of A. Baldwin Sloan's happy,
blithsome and popular opera ''The Mock
ing Bird, . rich in humor, delightful song
and the funniest of situations. There will
be more than so people in the cast, under
the direction of John H. Briggs, of De-
lance, SO well known to musical circles
in this end of the state and in Pennsyl-
vania The costumes and settings, which
are magnificent, have been secured from
prominent firm in New York and every
feature of the best procurable. The Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania Orchestra, aug
mented by local musicians, will furnish
the instrumental part of the performance:
The first presentation of the opera will
be given at the Auditorium, Burlington,
next Monday evening, for the benefit of
the Aged Women's Home of Burlington
county and the tickets are selling rapidly.
They can be had at the usual places in
Burlington, from the members of the
company and at the theatre on the day of
the performance only.

WHEN the city newspapers get out of
material they get busy on the political sit
uation and suggest what changes are
about to be made in the various offices,
mainly the Congressional positions. Much
effort has been devoted to showing that
Congressman Gardner Is unpopular and
that he will either not be renominated or
II he is again named that he will be de-
feated. Well, one guess is as good as
the other. ALI the dissatisfaction that is
being published about Congressman
Gardner is the reult OF pipe dream on
think of anything else to print. The
people of the Second Congressional
District are not seeking any change in
their representation and the present in
cumbent of the Congressional chair need
not lose any sleep over the question of re-
nomination or reelection.

His record In the legislative halls at Tren

NEW systems create discussion and there
Is frequently adverse comment. This was
the case in the matter of the creation of
the County Boards of Taxation. There
was great hue and cry against them at
first, but as their work became understood
the opposition gradually faded away and
those who most loudly denounced them
came to look upon them as a pretty good
thing, so much so as to ask to be. ap-
pointed on the bodies. We mentioned case
of this kind last week and now we have
another of the same sort. Mark M. Pagan
has been appointed on the Hudson County
Board, position which pays $500 per
year. Pagan has been opposed to these
Boards as useless and unnecessary" but
he will doubtless be willing to be put 10
that class with the soothing syrup of
s., 500 per year.
