an automobile from her home here to
the Jail, assisted her to the top floor
of the building.
The immediate cause Of the arrest
was the testimony given this morn
ing by Ellwood C. T. Bardes, an in
surance agent, whom the authorities
called the single reliable eye witness
of the crime. Bardes is under lock
and key also. He is detained as a
material witness, for his story is Of
so great Importance that the authori-
ties said they feared an attempt
might be made to get him out of the
jurisdiction of the New York courts.
At 1880 o'clock On the night of the
murder, Bardes said he determined to
Jay a professional visit to DIR. Carman
and allow him to dress minor in
jury. He left his home and walked to
the physicians house. Arriving, he
decided he could dress the injury
himself and thereby save a doctors
fee. So he walked past the house and
then turned around to begin his jour-
ney home.
At that instant he heard an explo-
sion. He thought it was caused by
an automobile tire, but when he look
ed for the machine he could not find
ite. He turned his eyes toward the
lawn at the side of DR.. Carman's S
home A woman, tall, we'll built hat
less, wearing a light shirtwaist and
a dark skirt, was moving away from
one of the windows at the side of the
physicians office toward the rear of
the house, She was not running and
not casually strolling around the
lawn; she was walking in a hurry
the witness swore.
Bardes, tho last witness to take the
stand before the inquest was ended
was discovered only yesterday. His
story might remain untold had he not
mentioned it, first to a woman, who
promptly telephoned the district at
torney and then to a Catholic priest
be visited for advice. The priest urg-
ed Bardes to make his story known.
Before an opportunity presented it
self, he was taken in custody on or
ders of the district attorney.

This ruling was returned to TIE Com
missioners today by Corporation Coun-
sci Syme in answer 20 4 question raised
by William Nick. Clayton. of the
Brightwood Park Citizens Association,
and affects principally the streets in the
suburban sections.
AT the time the Borlan1 amendment

that time was called by the engineering
profession, asphalttc macadam or as
phaltic concrete. and this type Of pave
ment was described in the 1pecidcatio
of that year az 'biturninous macadam.'
These pavements are known as BIZ
luminous or fixed paVements because
of the permanent and fixed nature of
the character of the material used, and
/ have no doubt pavement constructed
of brick or Belgian block would also
be a fixed pavement.
Other streets and highways in the
District are surfaced with water-bound

these types are known as fixed pave

opinion, the water-bound macadam and
the macadam constituted by tho pcne-

THE FUTURES CITY.

There were twr articles in one of
the morning papers fro2, New York
today. which taken together suggest
ed interesting reflections on the pos
sihilities of the city Of another gen.
Grafton.
One pointed out that statistical
computations justify the estimate
that New York will louDle in popu-
lation in the next thirty-five years.
The other announced that the bu-
reau of weights and measures in the
city government is taking steps to
organize a great single cooperative
delivery service to cover the whole
city for all merchants.
The relationship Of these two
items is plain enough. New York
streets are congestel even now to
difficult and cften dangerous de-
gree. Double the population which
must funnel through the canyons of
the business district, and conditions
will be vastly worse. 1t is the same
