At that time the engineers in this
country had been using largely stee
and wood constructions for theil
bridges and they were not disposed t.
regard with favor any changes in tfeii
then existing practice Of bridge build
ing. 1t remained for Won Emperger tt
convince the engineering public thai
reinforced concrete, previously used IN
Europe, of the Monier construction
had many advantage over steel ant
wooden structures.
Attorney Sampson says that during
the years 1894 and 1895 this noted Aus
trian and another engineer whom he
associated with him, William Mueser
Of New York, built number of the
Melan arch bridges and it was thru
their work that this type of bridge has
come into such general use in thi:
country.
After really brilliant and success

of concrete bridges Won Emperor
went back to Vienna. There he be-
came the editor of an engineering anc
bridge building trade journal. in which

About 1015 last night the police got
a tip from the authorities at Blooming

of the car was given. and when looked
up it proved to be Martins car.
Officers were sent to guard the
roads into the city. and Chief German
with car proceeded northward. Just
this side Of Kensett, he found Martin
stalled in the road. The genial chief
kindly offered to tow Martin to Masm,

was reached Martin was pinched for
Transporting liquor illegally.
Martin told the police that he
brought the DOOZe from biooiiiiiS

know the Greeks name or address. He
was told by the police that when he
produced the Greek or told the police
where to find him, there might be some

their life there during the month of
June and early July when called out

be preserved in history in motion

ment has completed the negative and
only the work Of rearranging the
scenes to form a consecutive and con-
nected panorama and of writing the
titles remains to be done. The films
are to be shown at the state fair
and after that they will be booked
with the motion picture houses over
the state and the profits will go to
the Iowa troops down on the border.
The negatives have been deposited as
permanent record in the archives
of the state of Iowa to take their
place with the manuscripts and other
documentary materials of like char
acter which pass into the permanent
archives of the state.
Fifteen days were spent by the
photographers in getting the pictures
out al Camp Dodge. Pictures We're
taken of the different officers, men at
headquarters, the mess, the hospital
tents, the commanders and privates
upon the rifle range and drill grounds,
a panorama of the grounds, the troops

in fact all phases of military camp
life. ..
There are life sized views of COM

held straight up in the air in the act
Of taking this solemn oath.
