TRAIL VICIOUS
LETTER WRITER
Washington Prosecutor Sus-
poets Elderly Merchant

Belvijere, N. j., Zee. 23.-Prosecut-
ing Attorney Stryker of Washington,
Warren county, has been at work on
the evidence submitted to him In the
poisoned e letters, and that official
Is certain hat be will be able to trace
the letters to their writer within the
next few hours.
While he would not admit the result
Of his findings at this time, he has
indicated that his investigation shows
that the letters are probably the work
Of an elderly merchant who has been
regarded as irresponsible In certain
matters and who Of late has exhibited
signs of mental weakness.
Whether 1t liz merely q delusion with
the man In question or whether he
imag1nes that he Is the censor Of the
morality Of the people Of this town Is
still to be discovered.
The prosecutor will not disclose what
his intentions are In the matter, but
from a leading attorney In the town
who has also been drawn into the case
As counsel for one Of the offended
parties who insisted on prosecution, 1t
was learned that the method OF pro-
csdure will he to call the aged mans
family into consultation and see If
some restraint cannot be placed upon
him or If he is not amenable to treat
ment. II this can be done and his
relatives agree to safeguard him, as
we'll as the public, from a repetition Of
these attacks 1t is likely that the mat
ter will end In this way.
Some of the gravest charges were
contained In some of the letters, and
scarcely 4 younk married couple es-
capped the accusations Of those epistles-
The affair was at first treated as a
Joke by those concerned. When. how
ever, the letters contained facts that
seemed impossible to dispute, the mat
ter took Its first serious state. and
when one wife threatened to institute
proceedings in divorce, the matter be-
came so acute that action was deemed
necessary.

Among Mr.. Archbold's correspond
ents were former Senators Foraker
Quay and Hanna and former Repre-
sentatives Grosvenor and Sibley.
Certificates of deposit sent to Mr..
Foraker, he said, were for payment

company of Ohio. Some of the letters
said to have been written to him by

TURK CITY SHELLED
SCUTARI is BEING BOMBARDED
BY MONTENEGRINS-SULTAN'S
TROOPS ARE IN RETREAT.
THREE BATTLES WON IN WEEK
SuItan's Troops, After Being Twice
Defeated in Twenty-Four Hours,
Are In Full Retreat Towards
City That Is Under Fire.

London, Oct. 12-With Montenegro
winning decisive victories on the
Turkish frontiers, the war situation is
now more serious than at any time
since hostilities began.
Unconfirmed dispatches were re-
ceived here saying that Servia and
Bulgaria had formally declared war
Official circles were stirred by the
direct prediction of a European con-
f1ict made at st. Petersburg by the
Russian minister of war, M. Suchol-
linoff, who said:
THE Balkan outbreak is the be-
ginning of a great European clash into
which Russia inevitably will be
drawn"
The Montenegrins added the cap
ture of Turkish forts at Tuki to their
victories at Podgcritza and Detchitch
mountain. The capture of the forts
gave the Montenegrins control of the
road to the town of Scutari.
The Montenegro army later carried
the heights before Scutari in des-
perate attack, and now have their
guns trained on the city They dom
mate the main approach to the city
The troops are pouring shot and shell
into the city, which is expected to
capituIate at any time. The fighting,
according to dispatches, has deve-
oped into the worst kind of guerrilla
warfare. Prisoners are being massa-
cred by both sides and noncombatants
are being slain without discrimina-
ton. Several skirmishes are report
ed from points along the Turko-Bul-
garian and Turko-Servian frontiers.
Turkey is bringing 100000 Asiatic
troops to Constantinople. which will
augment her European force to about
100000 men.
Podgoritza, Montenegro, Oct. 12.-
Twice defeated within twenty-four
hours, the Turkish army is in full re-
treat toward Scutari
Following the crushing defeat by
the Montenegrin division under Crown
Prince Danilo on Detchitch mountain,
the Turks were again overwhelmed
at Tuzi, where the Montenegrins cap
tured the Turkish fort. commanding
the road to Scutari. Scutari is the
base of Turkish Albania.
King Nicholas sent orders to the
front for all divisions to keep ham
mering away at the Turkish lines. His
object in this is to take Scutari and
seize the arms, ammunition and pro-
visions stored there before Turkish
reinforcements can arrive from Salon
ika. Scutari is the key city to north
ern Albania.
Scores of wounded soldiers have
been brought here for treatment.
Field hospitals have been erected.

SURFACE DRAINAGE OF ROADS
Crown Should BE Sufficient to Shed
Water Readily and Allow We
hicIes to Pass Easily.

TBy PROF. J. r. DAVIDSON, Iowa Ar
ricultural College9
All roads should be provided with
surface drainage. The cross-section
should be of such shape as to shed
all rain at once to the side bitches,
To do this the road must be oval OF
have a crown and must be smooth.
The first of these is a matter of con-
struction, and the latter a matter of
maintenance The side drainage
system should be called upon to car
ry as much water as possible. Water
cannot be carried away by the tile
drains until the water has sunk
through the soil and softened it.
The crown of a road should be SUI.
ficient to shed the water readily. II
the road is to be maintained and kept
free from ruts and holes, less crown
will do than if the road is to be neg
lected The Iowa highway commits
sion recommended a slope l inch to-
1 foot for a crown in the travelled
way. This is sufficient for most con.
ditions. The crown should not be too
great. A steep crown causes the trav
Ell to be concentrated at the center,
where ruts will be worn and washing
result. Again there is some difficulty
In vehicles passing, On the side of
the crown the wheels of the vehicles
have a tendency to grind the road
down. The top of the wheels are near
er the gutter than the bottom. The,
top OF the wheels is nearer the gut
ter. This action, together with the
swerving or flow action of the lower.
part of the wheel, has a very marked
effect.
The sleeper the slope of the road.
the more important the crown, for
there is tendency for the water to.
run down the track rather than to the
side. IL water once begins to run
down the center of the roadway 1t is
but short time until the road is'
quilted out.
