MAKING TESTS FOR
new HAWKINS LAKE
City Engineer and Assistants
Place a Weir Across
the River Today.

Work on the new Richmond lake and
park project is expected to start with
in few weeks. City engineer Charles
with two assistants this morning
made a weir across the river at Sew
enteenth street. BY this means they
measured the amount of water which
hourly passes down the river bed.
These figures will be used in basing
the strength, height and length of the
new dam, which is to be placed at this
point to provide the lake of forty
acres. Plans for the dam have nearly
been completed. The dam will be
about eighteen feet above ground.
Holes dug into the ground at the dam
site disclosed the absence of rock for a
foundation, but solid bed of hard
pan found several feet below the sur
face will be used for the foundation.
AS soon as the concrete dam is
erected, the water will be allowed to
back up to the north and east over the
land now owned by the company AS
soon as the high water mark is reach
ed, the work of laying out the remain
der of the ground will start, and the
boat house, amusement features and
other devices will be arranged for and
erected. The building of the dam and
subsequent filling up of the lake is
the keystone of the entire enterprise,
as no work can go on until the out
lines of the lake are defined. Part of
the land is to be laid Off into building
lots. a-...@-

DETECTIVE BURNS
USES NEW DEVICE
Invents "Telegrophone' tc
Use in Getting Incrimi-
mating Evidence.
(NationaI News Association


LOS ANGELES, June 11.-A new in
strument, more deadly in it's incrimi-
mating possibilities than the dicta-
graph, has been put into practical use
by Detective William j. Burns. 1t is
called the 'telegrophone" and in the
opinion of Burns, who is now in Los
Angeles, the new invention will be a
great reducer of crime, as well as an
effective and unimpeachable witness
against criminal agents.
The new instrument is a simple
contrivance,' said Burns, "and pos
sesses all the good points of the dicta-
graph. In addition its Photographic
possibilities make it of incalculable
worth. It is based on small box and
the recording is done through hair
wires connecting with two steel posts.
1t can be attached to a telephone and
will record the conversation. 1t is not
net\ssary for the instrument to be
placed in a room or even near a per
son to get every statement he may
make. 1t seems to hear through the
walls, and just as we'll as the human
ear"

MAN FIGHTS FOR LIFE
WITH MADDENED JACK

Williamsburg, Kan.-One Of the
most ferocious combats ever witness
ed in a civilized country was seen
one-half mile west of this city on the
A. NJ. Duff ranch, when mad jack
attacked Earl Igelberger, an en-
ployee of the ranch.
Ikelberger went to the jacks stall
and united the animal to bring him
out and show him to some farmers.
As he started out the door, the jack
grabbed Igelberger by the arm and
reared up and struck him with both
fore feet. Another employee who
stood near, broke a rake handle over
the animals head, but it was like
hitting him with straw.
Fearing to let the halter go, Ikel-
berger held on with his wounded
arm, and struck the animal repeatedly
with his free hand. Blow after blow
crashed on the jacks skull and halt
dozen times the jack struck Ikel-
berger with his fore feet and bit him
When the jack was not rearing
he was kicking so violently that the
spectators were afraid to come near
For fully a half hour the man and
the beast fought, both bleeding pro
frsely until Ikelberger received q
blow in the face that stunned him
The jack would undoubtedly hav,
mangled him, but for the alertness oi
a young farmer who grabbed Ikel
berger by the foot and pulled hin
away. The animal was nearly blind
ed and could not follow. After al
exciting half hour the jack was ex
hausted and laid down to rest. He
was then taken back to the barn b!
q dozen men.

COURT UPHOLDS
PHONE. VERDICT
Former President Of Atlanta
Telephone Company Must
Pay Big Amount.

Judge Newman today upheld the
findings of the special master appoint e.
ed to hear the evidence in the action
brought against c. J. Simmons. former
president Of the Atlanta Telephone and
Telegraph Company
The masters findings, confirmed BY
Judge Newman, required that the notes
involved be known as gold mortgage
instead Of first mortgage notes and
that if Simmons defaulted in the inter
est the whole obligation was to be
come due at once.
Simmons was ordered to pay $139
92I57, with six per cent interest from
February 1, 1908 receiving credit, how
ever. for two payments of $13,125.
The complainant was also given the
right to immediate foreclosure with a
special lien on the amount Of the de-
cree. The Sromberg Carlson Compa-
ny brought suit May H. 1910, and a
long court fight followed with compli-
Gated hearings before the special mas
ter named by the court The masters
findings constituted a victory for the
company suing and are upheld by
Judge Newman.
A. 3. COnklIn, manager Of the COM
pany, said tOEay thaC the suit affected
Mr. Simmons personally and that il
would NOT change the status of the
company inasmuch as the Stromberg
Carlson Company is already the larg-
est Stockholders
