MARIE DE LAVEAGA'S
MIND SOUND, HE SAYS
Episcopal Clergyman Found Her
Answers Pertinent

Rev. Hubert Cowley Carroll, Episco-
palian clergyman at Ross in Marin
county, was a strong witness yester-
day for the proponent of the will of
Marie Conception de Laveaga, which
is being contested in Judge Coffey's S
court by Miguel de Laveaga, brother
of the decedent In reply to questions
by Attorney Shortridge, representing
Mrs. "Pepa" Cebrian, he stated that
in his opinion the testatrix was of
perfectly sound mind
Were her acts, conduct and con-
versation those of a rational or of an
irrational person?'' asked the lawyer.
'Of rational person, decidedly" an
swered the clergyman.
Giving his reasons for his belief he
said that she showed attention to what
was said in a conversation and that
her replies to questions were perti-
nent He detailed many conversations
had with Miss de Laveaga. In one of
them the testatrix said she liked the
Church of st. John Lateran in Rome,
preferring it in some respects to St.
Peters.
Mrs. Cowley- Carroll, wife of the
clergyman, who was a friend of the
De Laveagas family for many years,
was called as a witness and had begun
her testimony when court adjourned.

clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician Still he
grew worse. At the end of about
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that / had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.

CAR WHEELS DEVELOPMENT.

In the development of the solid steel
wheel as distinguished from the steel

a center made of cast iron or steel, ii has
been made the goal to produce a metal
that should be the equal of the steel tire.
and this has been done, says Casters
Magazine. By care in he cropping of
the ingots to avoid piping and segrega-
ton, by close attention to heating, and by
the use of very powerful machinery by
which the rolling of the tread may be
carried on down to a low temperature.
the essentials of good tire metal have
been obtained. These may be put at a
high tensile strength and limit of elastic
lty, high ratio of elongation before rup-
ture under load, and hardness with the
