new MAPS BY GEO
LOGICAL SURVEY

The geological survey has just issued
another of its engineering bulletins,
No. 1876, entitled "Results of Primary
Triangulation and Primary Traverse
for the Years 1909 and 1907
This report gives the accurate lati
tude and longitude of more than seven
thousand points scattered over the
United States from Maine to Oregon
and from Montana to Texas. A map
accompanying the bulletin shows at a
glance the areas included by this work
and also shows more than $50 stations
from which astronomic observations
have been made.
The questions may be asked. OF

Now ON many of the best available
maps of some states important towns
and other features are shown as much
as five miles out of place with refernce
to their true latitude and longitude; (;
the work of the geological survey cor
rects such errors. The inaccuracies of
old maps are due principally to the
lack of such data as those given in the
new bulletin.
The latitudes and longitudes given
| in the bulletin are all fixed datum
points to which state, city, town,
boundary and other surveys may be
connected, thereby insuring an abso-
lutte recovery and re-establishment of
any destroyed or obliterated land
marks.

bulletin makes it pos ible to harmonic
local surveys, however widely sepa
rated, and eventually to place them
with accuracy in their proper position
on any map of which they are integral
parts.
The connections are made to mum
erous landsurvey lines so that the
marks for these lines also can be re
stored to their proper positions If ac

Even if the marks for nineteenth.

DEFENSE SCORES
IN AzPARREN CASE

1t now looks probable that the Azpar
rem ease will go over until Monday.
The cross-examination of defendant
was concluded before the noon ad-
journment yesterday, since which time
several more witnesses have been ex
amined for the defense, i'll an endeavor
to show that Azparren IS story as to
the shooting may be eorroperated This
morning Witness Traverse was brought
down bv automobile from the county
hospital. where he has been confined
bv illness for the past week or ten
days. and was assisted to the court
room bv two men. At noon today the
defense had three more witnesses to
examine, after which they will rest
1t is considered probable that the
State will offer some evidence in re-
buttal. Sheriff Smith, of Alturas
county, California, where the prisoner
was captured has been here several
days, but has not been put on the
stand as vet. 1t is presumed that he
will testify regarding an alleged con
fession made to him by defendant
while confined in the Alturas county
jail.
Alleged Confession Ruled Out.
At II O'Clock yesterday morning,
after a day and a half of argument
and listening to the testimony OF
witnesses, in the absence of the jury,
Judge Ducker ruled out the alleged
written confession of defendant, on
the ground that it was involuntary.
Tt was shown that defendant was TAX
en- to a small room in the Jail building
and asked If he had a statement to
make. He refused to say anything
about the case unless some friend OF
his was present. A Reno hotel man,
conutrvman of defendant, was sent
for. when il is alleged that a eonfes-
sion was obtained upon certain induce
ments being held out. Just what ad-
missions the purported confession con-
tain were not made public.
The exclusion of this testimony is
considered a great victory for Salter
& Robins. attorneys for the defendant.
End of Criminal Calendar in Sight.
IFpon the completion of the Azpar-
rem trial the ease of state VS.. Will
liams. indicted for having permitted
gambling in his cigar store on the
night of February 2. viii be called.
This will be the second trial of this
ease, the jury having disagreed at the
first trial. There IS a second indiet-
ment against defendant. charging him
with gambling. but whether or not he
is called to trial on this viii probably
depend upon the outcome Of the first
case.
These eases viii finish up the erimi-
nal calendar for the term after which
there viii be two or three civil cases
to Ire heard by jury. One of these is
the damage suit Of sheldon VS.. Sage,
This morning Judge Robins, of counsel
for Sage. received a wire from defend
ant. who is at Ontario. Oregon. stat
ing that he was confined to his bed as
the result Of an accident and asking
that the case lie continued until the
next term.

PREP AIRING FOR A
 COAL FAMINE
Sending Extra Cars Here to Handle Traffic in Case
 of a Strike

In order to be prepared for a rush of coa orders 10 this district in the event a suspension of operations takes place Monday in the western coal fields, it was stated yesterday hat the Frisco lines was sending every possible piece of coal equipment to this district. It was stated that the very excellent bus mess al this time was taking practical ly all of Inc available cars and, un- less more than normal equipment Is held here next week there is liable to be q serious coal ca. famine in the event the suspension takes place. m addition 10 the Frisco lines II k saih other railroads are preparing To han de an unusually large amount of coal shipments. IL is apprehended in coal circles that this distric; will have more coal orders next week than can pos sibly be taken care of inasmuch as whatever tonnage is ordered will no in addition to the already excessive claims being put on this district.
 In coal circles yesterday II was the opinion that locally there would be no i'll effects from tho strike gossip heard from the western and other coal fields Local mine officials are unprepared to give out any information and SO far concerned they do not snow tho first thing about any coal strike rumors in local circles.

ham Twentieth street at the Louisville and Nashville station was impossible for some time on account of the high water. Men could he seen waGng knee deep almost in the water backed up there. The situation was relieved late yesterday. On South Nineteenth street the storm sewers were unable to carry off the wa ter that rushed down from the hills and for a time that thoroughfare resembled miniature creek in flood stages.
 It was reported to the weather bureau yesterday that Village creek was higher than 1t has been known to be In many years and that an enormous volume of water was falling over the spillway of the Tennessee company's impounding dam below WYlam The actual measure ments of the precipitation al the im- pounding dam. which was considerably higher than In Birmingham. were Ln- available last night.
 As a result of the excessive rainfall in the district the railroads issued slow orders to all trains operating out of this city yesterday. They anticipated nun- da ted tracks and perhaps washouts. As result practically all operations out of Birmingham were delayed by reason of the precautions taken.
 The railroads up to last night had not received any washout reports or any serious slides on the main lines.

SEPARATE TAXING DISTRICT
 IS POPULAR SOLUTION

Each of the other schemes in con- sideration at the present time would necessitate an amendment to the con stitution. The one Is an amendment permitting Birmingham to increase it's tax rate from $1.00 to a figure more
 in accord with the rate collected by other cities of relatively the same size, and the other. an amendment per hitting Birmingham to become sep arate taxing district.
 Of the two schemes. the latter is probably most in favor as by it's terms there would be no increase of the preesnt tax rate in Birmingham. Were Birmingham a separate taxing district it could assess and collect it's own taxes, and use the money for it's own needs, although 1t is contemplated that an equitable basis for division of expenses would be agreed upon by Bir- mingham and Jefferson county authori- ties. For instance, the expenses of courts would be divided, the city bear ing it's portion of the burden The expenses of municipal road improve ment would necessarily be divided. for within the corporate limits of Birming ham there are 2100 miles of roads.
