Cries of sympathy broke out and soon
the whole courtroom was on its feet

declare a recess to preserve order.
After the recess, NJ. Bernard sprang

The witness said that she had met
D'Aulby in New York, and had married
him for love, being especially drawn to
him by reason of his musical abilities.
She never mixed In her husbands

fact that he had sold pictures to Mrs,

ASK COURT FOR RELIEF.
Citizens of Essex County Protest Agains,
Recent Assessment.

Especial TO Inc IlfneS-DlspatC
Champlain, Va, December 2L--At a large
ly-attended mass-meeting of the citizens OF
Essex county, held at the courthouse on
Monday, resolutions were adopted protesting
against the recent assessment OF lands of
the county. Letters had been written to all
the county clerks of the State asking how
the late assessment had compared With the
former assessment. and from replies receiv-
ed from hfty-four clerks 1t was that
in nine counties in the First District the aver
age increase amounted TO about Ii. per cent,
and that the average increase OF the fifty
four counties heard from was about 20 per
cent The Average increase In Essex was
shown to be about As per cent. and 1t was
considered that this was unfair when the
showing OF the other counties was consid-
cred.
The resolutions call these facts to the at
tcntion OF the court, the assessor and the
attorney, and the court is
asked to order revision of the returns IN
Essex, so that values will be reduced to a
reasonable basis.

Cement Talk No. 2.
ACID TESTS

AS sewage contains such a
small percentage of acid, these
tests have little or no bearing
on the use of G. ment in sewer
construct fonfirming this,
Presjdcns q Il Talbot, of the
University vi Illinois, says:
| know of no authority for
the statement, that we'll made
concrete sewers disintegrate
from the effect Of ordinary city
sewage. If the ordinary sew
age were strong enough to
disintegrate cement, the joints
of verified pipe would be
destroyed and the sewage
would pollute the surrounding
soil. In a like manner brick
sewers would collapse should
the cement between the brick
disintegrate. The thousands
of miles of these sewers in
this country now in successful
operation, prove that the ce-
ment is unaffected by sewage.
Probably the severest acid
test on concrete to be found
where this material is used
commercially, is in paper mills,
where sulphuric acid is used to
digest the wood to paper pulp.
Cement can be found in the
lining of the digestors and in
the construction of the mill
floors. Cement pipe is also
used to carry away the waste
dyes from dye works, where
acids, alkalies, etc, are used.
The following test further
sustains the use Of cement in
sewer construction, and is
taken from paper by A. j.
Taylor, Engineer in Charge Of
Sewers, Wilmington, Del, and
read before the American go
ciety of Municiple improve
ments:
The character Of the sewage
for quite a considerable por-
tion of the course is aciduous,
in consequence of which there
were fears Of a softening of
solvent action upon the con-
crete composing pipe. AS an
experiment, a portion of a con-
demned pipe was immers ed
in representative sewage md
allowed to remain for ten
months without showing any
alienation.
Mr.. ]. S. Van Alstyne, Presi-
dent Board of Public Works,
Wyandotte, Mich, speaking of
concrete pipe, says:
They are cheaper, but this
would not be a consideration, if
they were not also better, be-
ing perfectly tight they avoid
all seepage, and we think they
will be more durable as the
longer they are in, the harder
they become when properly
constructed.

Stream of Visitors Calls at Home to
Inquire as to Welfare of
Record-Breaking Fam
iIN

The most talked of household in Los
Angeles yesterday was that of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. w. Wilson at 2O19 Magnolia
avenue. where four babes-quadruplets
born to Mrs. Wilson late Friday
aftemoon-rested side by side in a lit
tie crib in a darkened room, each child
Justify clinging to life.
Two boys and two girls form the
personnel of this strange little quartet
that has come to make glad the home
which has already been blessed with
one set of twins and two sets of trip
lets-twelve children in the past nine
years.
The girls weighed five and six
pounds, while four and five pounds
was the weight of the boys, the aggre-
gate weight being twenty pounds. In
order to tell (which are which pink
ribbons have been tied ON the wrists
of the girls and blue ribbons on the
boys. DR.. A. c. Pratt, the attending
physician, states that the children
which were born within one hour, are
healthy, normal children, and that he
expects them to grow into lively chill
dren, and this is echoed by Mrs. May
Hayes, the nurse who proudly exhibits
her four little charges.
Much good-natured rivalry has al
ready been shown by the proud par
ents in naming the four little strang-
ers. Mrs. Wilson, who is Il member of
the Christian Science church, says
that she will give them the names of
Mary Baker Glover Eddy, head of the
church, but Mr. Wilson faVors the
/. Q. o, f. of the odd Fellows for
names.
Not the least interested in the new
arrivals are the 9-year-old twins, WV
ian Luci and Viviene Lucille who are
acting as hostesses while their mother
is devoting her time exclusively to the
little ones. Loren Basil, the 4-year-
old son, the only one living from the
second set of triplets, greeted visitors
to the home yesterday with the state
ment that the babies were all at home
Neighbors on either side watched with
interest the stream of visitors that
began early yesterday morning, but
only a few of the privileged ones were
allowed to see the quartet that has
brought additional fame to this anti
race suicide family.
