ROOSEVELT
DAM is ABOUT
COMPLETED
WILL CONTROL THE WATERS
or SALT LAKE RIVER, AND
MAKE 4 VAST TRACT OF ARI-
IONA DESERT" BLOSSOM LIKE
THE ROSE.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE last
stone has been laid in the parapet
walls of the Roosevelt dam and prep
arations are now under way for its
formal opening on March Is. Ex-
President Roosevelt, for whom the
massive structure has been named,
accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt Ar
chic and Ethel, will participate in
the three-day celebration.
Located in an almost inaccessible
canyon, 60 miles from a railroad, the
rapid and successful construction of
the dam has been watched with inter
est by engineers all over the world
The massive walls rise 284 feet from
foundation to parapet. It's length, on
top, is 1880 feet and across it runs
roadway 20 feet in width
Just below the point where the
Tonto Greek empties into it, the Salt
Lake River enters one of the most
magnificent canyons of the west,
forming an ideal dam site. Behind
the structure the waters of the tur-
bulent stream will form a reservoir
25 miles long and more than 200 feet
deep. It's capacity is approximately
56,628, 100000 cubic, or of sufficient
quantity to cover the entire state of
Delaware with a sheet of water one
foot deep.
The waters held back by the dam
will be used for the irrigation of
more than 100000 acres of land in
the vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona, and
the power created at the dam
will be transmitted electrically for
more than hundred miles down the
valley to operate pumps These
pumps will raise underground water
to supplement the surface supply and
increase the irrigable acreage. 1t is
estimated by the reclamation service
that about 10000 acres will be irri-
gated by subterranean waters, avail
able for irrigation purposes only
through the operation of such pumps
The building of the dam was pre-
ceded by the construction of a wagon
road nearly 100 miles long, which
for practically half its length was
blasted from the precipitous walls OF
the canyon. The construction of the
road in itself is considered a marve-
lous feat of engineering and was q
stupendous task The laborers who
built the road were mostly Apache
Indians. The trip to the dam will be
made by the ex-president's party
over this road from Phoenix.
Tonto basin, now deeply buried by
the waters of the dam, was for years
known as the rendezvous of outlaws
and Indian thieves of the famous Ge
nonimos band
officials of the reclamation service
are elated over the success of this
engineering feat, The result, they
say, will soon be apparent in {
transformation of conditions unpre,
cedented in the history of irrigation
AS if by sweep of a magician's
wand, hourishing crops will rise from
Arizona's desert land, villages, ham
let's and thriving cities will dot tn,
surface. Scientific agriculturalst!
will claim these former arid land'
as their own through Uncle Sami
benencence, and incidentally through
the reclamation service.

For the third time since en- tering this house found myself a | prisoner, twice through the wit and nerve of this woman, and she, un- knowing 1t, was my wife. Except for those legal bonds, by which we were fraudulently bound together, was nothing to her, not even a friend. I discovered the lock of the single window and succeeded in silently rais- | ing the sash so as to lean through the opening with head and shoulders. The reward was scarcely worth the effort. The darkness was intense and the si- lence profound. The ground must have been at least thirty feet below, and great tree stood in front, shadowing everything, its spreading branches obscuring the view. O'Brien thrust his head out beside mine. @ 'It is black as the bottomless pit" whispered. "Can you see any thing?"
 i There's grape arbor or something loike that straight ahead, sor," he said at last slowly, "an' maybe there's plenty of rebs hoidin' in it, but there's no signs of thim from here. Why not thry dhrop to the ground, sorY'
 Because after we got there we would be no better off. Those fellows are preparing; to come up through that back passage, and our work is to head them off. Help me to lower this up- per sash.'
 I climbed up, pushing my body out as far as possible. while O'Brien steadied me by grasping my feet. My hands groped about for the edge of the roof, and my fingers found firm

But this gutter was built in solid and would safely sustain my weight. I swung out. testing it cautiously, ex- pecting every instant to be fired at from below. Nothing happened, how ever, and I determined to risk the venture.
 "Let loose of my feet, O'Brien; am going to try for the next room." He was too surprised for protest, but released his grip, and swung free, dangling from the gutter. heard him chamber up on the still and saw his head poked out through the opening.

 From all appearances the caval- rymen below were fully capable of de- lending the house from any open at- tack, while, judging from all I scould zee and hear, the besieging party did not greatly outnumber our own, al- though their numbers were increasing, as Colonel Donald's irregulars gather ed in about us like hawks. to their prey. But the real danger existed in secret attack from the rear. and I alone suspected this possibility. Our safety lay in discovery of the hidden entrance and our preparation to defend it. More than this, the grim secret of the, murder appeared to center there also. And Jean Denslow had attempt ed to prevent investigation, not from any desire to injure me, but to help Donald and to aid the Confederacy. There was nothing for it but to treat her as an enemy, unpleasant though found the. task.
 What surprised me was the slowness with which those without availed themselves of this advantageous point of attack. Both their officers knew the secret way leading into the house; and, while Dunn's caution or coward ice, whichever it was, might restrain him from so bold an effort, yet Don aid must have long since reached their lines, and action was the dominating trait of his character. 1t was their supreme confidence in the final result that kept them idle, firing merely enough to let us know they remained watchful, and using the cloak of dark ness as cover to their movements. Our only hope lay in discovery of their means of entrance The fireplace was where all my suspicious centered, and

Her eyes seemed to glare into ours.

Now Appears in Role of

The Rev. DR.. Frederick ". Hook,

church affairs, dropped the role of
accuser today and involuntarily as

A member of the congregation called
up the Evening STAR today and said:
so Mr.. Hook says there has been
graft, does he?" he remarked. well,
If you care 10 look 1t up, / can give
you a tip that may how o where
the graft lies. For three years we have
been paying him 1886 a month for the

church.

he has been buying it in his own name,

A search of the tax records at the
City Hall showed that on February ID.

to the property a. 2S3 North Sixth

Now, about that parsonage matter.
The chances are that If Mr.. Hook had
gone to the board of trustees and told
them that he had a good chance to buy
a house, they wouldn't have objected,
and would have let him pay for 1t with
his rent money. But, instead of that.
he let us think all along that he was
paying rent for the house."
Mr.. Hook could not be located this
morning The discussion arose over
the resignation of the pastor. At he
anniversary of the church he
said he would resign. and later decided
that he wanted to hold the passionate.
He circulated petitions, and the pres
bytery was asked not to accept the
resignation, although a majority of the
congregation favored accepting the res
ignation. The presbytery is still I'M
decided as to whether or not to accept
the resignation.

ESSEX COUNTY NATIONAL
TO BUILD ON OLD SITE,
Bank Will Temporarily Occupy
Scheuer Structure.

The Essex County National Bank is
to have erected a new building for its
own use on the site of its present home,
1853 Broad street. This plan was decided
upon when It was learned that the
Prudential Insurance Company was
anxious to acquire all the property on
Broad street between Bank and Acad-
envy. Consequently the bank people
sold to the Prudential a strip OF the
land they had acquired adjoining their
premises and promised to sell the re-
mainder of their holdings there provid-
ed they could get a suitable place for a
new bank and office building. This
was not feasible, so the new building
will be erected on the old site, while
the bank will take up temporary quar-
tiers in the Scheuer building,

IMPARTIAL THIEF
WITH EQUAL CARE
VISITS EACH ROOM
Leaves No Clue of How He
Entered, but Takes
Galore.

One of the most battling robberies in
this vicinity since the kid Glove Kid"
was cal ed Tuesday in Jersey City
for burglaries there and here. was the
one discovered last night at the home
of Adam Freund. at 1896 Hunterdon
street.
Some time during the night. MIR.
Fround reports. his house was entered
and that the burglar left no clue for
the police to find Out how he gained
entrance. 1t is tho belief of the au-
thorities that the thief had a skeleton
key, as there were no doors or windows
that showed the slightest signs of an
entrance haying beer made through
them.
The thief started work on the first
floor of the house. where he secured a
gold watch and chain. with the initials
of IN. r." engraved on the back, be-
longing to Mrs. Freund. valued at $40.
Boardcr Loses $50.
On the second floor Mr.. William
Beyern, a boarder in the house, lost $50
in cash. On the third floor, in another
boarder's room, the thief got away
with a gold watch and chain with the
initials "E. H." valued at $50, and
cash amounting to $50.
The robbery was discovered early this
morning when the family arose, and all
complained at the same time of having
lost articles. Captain Vogel detailed
Plainclothesmen Sebold and kass to
make an investigation.
