LOCKE MAKES 4 NEW L0G IF YUMA ROUTE

Harry Locke, field engineer for the Arizona Good Roads association has just completed a re-charting tour of the BorGerland route between Phoenix and Yuma. From the latter place, ha writes the following interesting in- formation regarding the road:
 The new route between Arlington and Agna Caliente Hot Springs is far better than the old road now being used and should be taken by motor ists. The going is fair to good all the way as it is over mesas and the one mountain pass is crossed on com pleted state highway which is in fine condition.
 information can be secured at Ar lington store as to how the road runs from there. Riley's garage at Yuma will send their road car over this new route and sign it within a week or two.
 The highway work in Yuma county is not completed yet. but over Is miles is open for travel. Much of the road between Phoenix and Yuma has suffered from summer storms and consequently makes slow going How ever there is not a place where any one could get stuck excepting during a continued rainy period.
 The great work of making a com pleted highway between Phoenix and Yuma should De undertaken at once and carried tc successful conclusion. The roads in general are travelable with many good stretches and some poor ones hut completed first class highway is long past due on this link of the Southern Transcontinentai Highway route. The present distance is only 1868 miles and the roads will hardy permit driving it in day.
 It is 200 miles from here to San Diego but we will drive there in day light tomorrow. as l did a couple Of weeks ago. even though there is 100 miles in the San Diego mountain and the sandy stretch between Yuma and Holtville.

MELLOW MENACE AT PLAZA

The fourth installment of The Yel- low Menace" which is the star attrac- ton at the Plaza theater today con talns much in mysticism that has not been heretofore produced in pictures, much Oriental atmosphere has thus been obtained. to which has been added sensational thrills and melodrama so that from the opening title to the run off the story is one succession of snaps and unusual scenes.
 In the present installment, which is the fourth, called the plot of a demon an inside view of the cruelty that can be practiced by the arch conspirator against those who would leave his power even though they be of his own blood, is shown in the attempt of Ali Singh to place the beautiful Nadia upon the rack and torture her into confessions of her own delinquency, that his power might thus be stronger.

love with this beautiful niece of the chief of conspirators attempts to get her in his power and a most sensational fight between the man and the girl takes place. Of this fight it has been said that nothing quite like it has been shown in the movies before. The proX- imity of the police. however, make it too hot for The Higher One,' and he takes refuge on yacht and the ar rival of the police save the girl from the passionate outbursts of Hong Kong Harry, the opium smuggler.
 One of the greatest thrills in the picture is that which shows an auto mobile going through bridge in such realistic fashion that the spectator en- tertains fears for the safety of the oc- cupants. Another thrill is the explo sion of the yacht. and an equally anx- ious feeling takes possession of the spectator here.

i Langdon was taking advantage of Miss Pages nervous condition to influence her against him. He told me that that-he would make 1t well worth my while to help him remove her to an- other sanatorium which had been se- lected by her mother, and pointed out the fact that Mrs. Page had not come with her daughter as indicating her dissatisfaction with pr. Fosters hos pital.''
 Did you agree to help him?" A hot flush dyed her cheeks, and her fingers nervously fumbled her gloves as she answered softly:
 "Yes"
 What instructions did he give you?''
 "He-he told me to give Miss Page 8 sleeping draught that night, and said that when the hospital was quiet he would have his automobile outside and if I would let him in, he would carry Miss Page to it, and take her to the other sanatorium. He also asked me if I would take the case, as a private nurse, and when I said yes, he wrote the name down on piece of paper for me-"
 "Do you mean" interrupted the judge, "that you were ready to throw up your position with Dr. Foster. and allow one of his patients to be stolen from his sanatorium without investi- gating the truth of the mans state ments?"
 You mean about Mr. Langdon?" she stammered. "Oh--I-I knew that was not true. I-I agreed because of--of a certain plan I had in mind.'
 His Honor sat back with the shrug of one who dismisses the possibility of understanding the other sex, as Lang don asked:
 Did MT. Pollock leave immediately after giving you the address of the new sanatorium?'

the signal. Then started down stairs to let the men in."
 Were the halls deserted?"
 "Yes-both deserted and dark. But just as I was slipping back the bolts of the front door. the door to the office was opened by an attendant and in the light that streamed out he could see me plainly. I tried to slip the last bolt before he could reach me. but it was stiff and I couldn't move it. With an oath he grabbed me by the arm and dragged me into the office. Both Dr. Zellar and Mir. Pollock were there, and he told them what had been do- ing. At that MT. Pollock grabbed me and shook me and demanded to know what I was up to- He hurt me and frightened me so, I couldn't think of anything to say and just screamed, thinking that those outside would hear me and break in. They did hear me, for they began to hammer on the door and demand entrance, and screamed again. But at that MT. Pollock clapped his hand over my mouth and Dr. Zel- lar caught my wrists, and between them they dragged me into a little room beyond the office and flung me into chair. Then I saw that Dr. Zel- lar had a revolver in his hand and he thrust it into my face. promising to do for me if made any noise. They went out and locked the door, but as soon as they were gone ran to it and listened, and heard the doctor tell his assistant (the one who had caught me at the door) to go upstairs and watch the girl. Then he and MT. Pollock had conference and decided to let Dr. Foster and MT. Langdon in, but to deny that Miss Page was there. I'll go upstairs and wait till you get rid of them,' said MT. Pollock Then l heard door close and everything was quiet"
 How long did that silence last?'
 "Only few moments. Soon I heard Dr. Fosters voice saying. Miss Page has been forcibly dragged from my sanatorium and brought here. I de- mand her instant release. and I have my car outside to take her back to the hospital At that pr. Zellar laughed sneeringly and said. Is it your usual method of getting patients to run about at night and kidnap them from rival sanatoriums?' could hear Dr. Foster

 years, have you not?'
 Yes"
 "When was the first time that you saw the defendant, Mary Pager"
 "On the morning when she was brought to the sanatorium for treat ment"
 Miss Walton. did you know David Pollock?"
 For the first time her quiet conf dence forsook her, and a red spot crept into each cheek, and there was a visible hesitation before she answered slowly:
 T had never MET MT. Pollock, but I had heard a great deal about him. His his name was very familiar to me-"
 "Then the first time you saw him was when he came to the sanatorium asking for Miss Pager"
 Again there was hesitation before the answer:
 "Yes."
 win you tell the court, please, what happened after Dr. Foster ordered you to keep David Pollock out of the room of your new patient-Miss Page?"
 TT felt that I ought to know what he looked like that I might make no mistake, so I went down the hall to- wards the reception-room. As reach ed the door, however. it was opened and MT Pollock stepped out. At sight of me he paused, then asked me if was Miss Pages nurse. said I was, and he motioned me to come into the re- ception-room with him.
 She was speaking slowly. as one who must choose her words with extreme care. lest she be misinterpreted. The law would not let her explain the thoughts and impulses that had in- spired her seemingly inexplicable con- duct. Langdon had told her that. and so she must. she felt, tell with eau ton that was unnatural of the events of that long-ago day.
 When we were in the reception room, MT. Pollock told me that he was the fiancee of Miss Page. and that MT.

, "Strike out the question beginning You say you paid but little attention | to her excitement and it's answer Continue, MT. Langdon." That is all, pr. Foster" said Lang l don promptly, and the District Attor- ney had only one question:
 "When Mary Page was brought to your sanatorium, was she not perfectly sane?"
 Temporarily so, but her nervous condition was such that extreme men tai suffering was very evident. We doctors have many definitions of that word sane, sir"
 That is all' And as the doctor stepped down from the witness box with covert smile, the name of the next witness was called by the bailiff.
 Miss Gertrude Walton!"
 This was a new player in the vast drama whose every act was seemingly fresh tragedy, and the reporters whispered the name among themselves as they bent over their copy, striving to place her among the scores who had been drawn into the net flung by the police and Langdon after the strange murder of David Pollock. Her name slipped from lip to lip through the spectators as well and more than one man in the back of the room stood up to stare when the tall brisk woman came confidently from the witness room and took her place on the stand.
 She gave her name with gravity, her age with a smile, and her occupation with pride, as trained nurse"
 Miss Walton," said Langdon, you specialize in nervous cases, do you not?"
 T do."
 "How long have you been doing that sort of nursing?'
 For twelve years. began 1t by by-nursing my sister through terri
