CONDITION OF CITY NOT
AS BAD AS EXPECTED
Weeds the Only Menace to
Health

Americas, from a sanitary standpoint,
is not in as bad condition as Inspec-
tor w. d. Smith expected to find them
when he started upon a tour of inspec-
ton last Tuesday. Inspector Smith
stated yesterday that he'd already gone
over a considerable residence territory
and had found nothing more detrimen-
tai to health conditions than weeds
In many gardens weeds have attained
a rank growth, he says, but there Yves
nothing really dangerous encountered
this far. The officer gave orders 70
property owners to cut the weeds with
out delay. The city will be given a
careful inspection under direction Of
Chairman Chambliss of the Board Of
Health, and the work will thus con-
tinue for a month or longer.

this MORNING ON LEE
First Blocks viii Be Placed
Today

Hundreds of Americas people who
daily have watched the progress of
work on Lee and Lamar streets pre-
paratOry to putting down the creosoted
blocks, wondering when operations in
this line would really be started, will
have their curiosity fully gratified this

this block has thoroughly hardened
and here the block cubes win be put
down first, The blocks will be put up-
on sand cushion" one inch in thick
ness, and the three inch blocks will
thus make a total covering of eight
inches in thickness.
Lee street from the artesian well TO
! the courthouse, is also in readiness
for the paving blocks. Jackson street
will come in for this Improvement af-
ter Lee is finished. and then Forsyth
The work is progressing more rapidly
now than at any time since the paving
was started.
But IT is a job of many months yet
it would seem.

COTTON Smith IS
Man IN THE CASE
Alice Roosevelt, Who Became
Mrs. Nicholas Longw0rth,
Last White House Bride


WASHINGTON. Dec. lift was re-
ported on good authority here tonight
that Miss Helen Taft, laughter of the
president and Mrs. Taft, had become
engaged to Cotton Smith, a young
business man, who is the son of Roland
Cotton Smith. one of the most promi-
nent Episcopal clergymen in Wash
ington. No confirmation could be had
either at the White House or at the
home of Smith. If the report is true
it will be in line with precedents, as
few White House daughters have
gone through a full term without be-
ing enga ged. II was while her father
was president that Alice Roosevelt be-
came engaged to Nicholas Longworth,
now her husband.

~ RICEvILLE, Tex. Dec. 11.-Five
men had been brought alive from
the Cross Mountain mine at IL
o'clock tonight and rescuers at
that time were making strong efforts to
reach at least three more whom they
believed still alive.
These men have been prisoners in the
workings since Saturday morning, when
an explosion entombed more than 100
men, hope for whom had been aban-
doned until tonight, when three men
alive and we'll were found behind a
brattice they had erected to protect
themselves from noxious gases. Two
more were found alive later.

They are all married and their wives
had almost given up hope.
Immediately after the explosion the
first three men rushed to cross entry

brattice that kept out the black damp
that killed many of their fellow work
ers. They took their lunch pals with
them and the three subsisted for three
days and two nights on what they ex-
pected to make their Saturday noon
meal.
News that miners had been found
alive spread quickly through the town

ORDERS
CASE TO TRIAL
Specialists Request for Delay
Denied; Clnbwomen Give
Aid to Plaintiff

Grandfathers were much in evidence
yesterday in Judge La,wlors court,
where DIR Otto c. Joslen. the medical
specialist was put on trial for the
betrayal. under promise of marriage, of
Ethel Williams. a pretty, languid eyed
girl, who was employed in a, Kearny
street candy shop. Five jurors were
sworn, two or whom were grandfath-
ers, one having almost reached, as he
said. the distinction of being a. great
grandfather OF the ID veniremen ex-
amined five We're grandfathers, three
others had descendants of one genera
tion and the others were childless One
was unmarried.
Ethel Williams, whom Joslen's attcr-
ney. samuel Shortridge, grandilo-
ney, Samuel NJ. Shortridge described
as the ..prosecutrix.' was in court,
attended by her mother. Mrs. ]. J..
Williams The girls sister, Hazel
williams, toward whom the gay spe-
cialists attentions were turned after
he had wearied of Ethel, also was in
court number of clubwomen and
social settlement leaders, including
Miss Ray wolfsohn and Mrs. Grey were
present to give courage to the young
girl when 1T comes her turn to testify
to the duplicfty of Joslen.
Ethel was neatly dressed in scant
blue suit and wore Charlotte Corday
bonnet of red velvet and tigerish look
ing fur to match the fur of her muff
JosIen's Wife by His Side
Mrs. Joslen sat in court with her
husband, who was represented by At
torneys. Shortridge and Timothy ]. Fitz-
patrick.
Assistant District Attorney Cunha
conducted the prosecution, assisted by
Frank j. Murphy, attorney for Mrs.
williams in the civil action she filed
against Joslen.
From the trend of questions put by
Shortridge it would seem that the de-
fense will make no effort to disprove
the girls allegations of intimacy with
Jolsen, but will base its case on an at
tack on the girls character.
The attorney laid stress on the legal
point that the charge against Joslen
can be sustained only on the ground
that the girl was of good moral char
acter before she came under his infu-
ence
In further intimation of the nature of
the defense was a sensational affidavit
filed by Joslen in making motion for
a continuance. He asked that the case
be put over three weeks in order that
John H. wheatfeld. representative of a
Philadelphia distillery company. living
at the San Marco hotel. Geary and Ma
son streets. this city, but now travelling
in Montana. can be found to testify.
Would Besmirch Girl
Joslen swore that he expected that
wheatne1d would testify to association
with the Williams girl in the summer
Of 1910. The afidavit carried the i'm
pncation that wheatheld would testify
that the girl told him that her mother
knew of their relations. and further,
that she wished to have her sister form
