ONLY 81 PER CENT OF BRIDGE

TO DATE.
slxTY-oNE OUT OF ~
BRIDGES COMPLETED
County Engineer Hiekok Expects All
Contracts to Be Finished by June
Te Get information For Bridge Con-
tract Next Year-Much Of City Paw
ing Goes Over.

A large part of both the county and
city concrete work that is under con-
tract will go over unfinished until next
spring. If the present cold wave, which
has forced all this work 10 be sus-
pended temporarily, does not compel
abandonment of it until spring, it is ex-
pected that work can not be continued
much longer at best.
OF III bridges Jet in three contracts
by the supervisors, sixty-one or about
% per cent in number, have been I'm
ished. In quantity of the yardage OF
concrete placed, the three contracts are
about 30 per cent completed. None OF
the three contracting companies that
have this work have finished. Work is
expected to be resumed in March, If
the weather is favorable, and by April
at the latest. County Engineer Hickok
estimates that all the bridges should
De finished by June.
In preparation for next year, County
Engineer Hickok has notified all the
township boards to submit lists OF
bridges and culverts in their respective
townships that are in need Of i'm
mediate renewal. This information will
be used as the basis for letting con-
tracts next season.
The paving in the city is even less
nearly finished than the county's
bridges. Only part OF the first con-
tract is completed. including only one
Of the six main roads to the country.
Every effort IS g BE made 70 finish the
paving in South First street. Of which
there are blocks TO lay, but probably
not much paving Will be done this fail
in addition to that work.

of the paving laid this season, but OF
streets already down. In the latter IL
is the purpose to ascertain how the
streets are wearing. Mr.. Tillson says
that he finds Marshalltown's concrete
paving very good, not only the streets
laid this season, but those laid under
former contracts.
One of the most extensive ana sclen.
tific studies ever made of any type o.
road is being conducted by the asso-
citation Mr.. Tillson represents. The
studies include all the concrete ROADS
in the United States. The reports are
made on specially prepared blanks. So
that they will all be of uniform charac-
ter and will present the information
in the most concise form. This infor-
nation will be tabulated and studied
so that of all the various methods that
have been used. those that have
given the best results can be noted.
The Portland Cement Association,
with offices and engineers scattered
turnout the country, will then be IN
position to advise officials and COM
munities building concrete roads as TO
those methods which have proved most
successful.
The Significance Of this undertaking
can be partially appreciated when !.

FL PASO SKEPTICAL
 ABOUT VILLAS DEATH
Believe Man Reported Dead is Really Pablo Lopez, and That Villa Himself Started Report of His Death-M Mexican Telegraph Wires Down

E Fl Paso, Tex, April 17.--General Gavira, Carranza commander at Jaurez, announced tonight that the Mexican telegraph wires between Jaurez and Chihuahua had been blown down near Pearson, about noon, and that he was unable to learn any further details of the reported discovery of the body of Francisco Villa. At the same time telegram filed at Chihuahua City, presumably before the interruption to the wire service. was received by the Associated Press from Consul Letcher, saying that nothing was known in the state capital regarding the finding of the bandits body.
 These two circumstances combined to reinforce the growing skepticism here as to the truth of the story that death has ended the career of the fugitive brigand The story that the man who is really dead is Pablo Lopez, the notorious butcher of Santa Ysabel, and that Villa had used his death as the basis of a false report of his own decease, was revived This story was retold today by an American owner of large ranch in the Guerrero district, who said he had received it from his ranch foreman and believed it to be true.
 The confidence of the Mexican officials here and in Juarez that Villa is dead has not diminished, however. outwardly, at least It was pointed out today that if the body had been brought to Cusihuirfa- chic 1t might take the better part of

day to transport it from there to Chi huahua City. The roadb ed between these two points is in a deplorable condition, like that of all other railroads in north ern Mexico.
 There are only three engines on the road and they are in a battered condi- tion. An average of four or five miles an hour is normal on the railroad and Cusihuiriachic is 60 miles from Chihua- hua City. With hopes of Villas death dwindling, attention here was directed today to far deadlier and more insid- ious foe, with which it is said both Americans and Mexicans are confronted Reports received here today by the Amer ican representative of large mining in- terests in Mexico stated that typhus fever in northern Mexico was assuming the proportions of an epidemic
 These reports said that the Mexican peors, ill-nourished and living under most insanitary conditions, were almost help less to resist the ravages of the disease There are few doctors in the country, nearly all American physicians who for merly lived there having fled across the border. The few Americans who have entered Mexico from here in the last few weeks have carried bottled water with them as there is little water to be found in northern Chihuahua safe to drink. In of the spread of the disease and of grow ing distress are declared more likely to be underestimated than exaggerated.

Voting on the Measure and Pending Amendments
 Starts Today
POMERENE DEFENDS
 NATIONAL GUARD
Senator Borah Stands by Original Charges of Profligacy in Depart ment-Reed Regrets Attacks
 on Militia

Washington, April 17--Efforts to amend the army reorganization bill were defeat ed in rapid succession in the Senate to- day. on the eve of the measures passage. Under an agreement reached last week, voting on the bill ard all pending amend ments will be begun at o'clock ton1or- row.
 Senator Borah's attack on the National Guard Saturday in which he declared that federal appropriations were shame fully wasted and sometimes embedded" :" brought forth vigorous replies today, Senators Reed and Pomerene again rally ing to the defense of the guard. Senator Borah stood by his specific charges and challenged any one to controvert them. Champions of the guard asserted that the whole institution should not be condemned because of isolated instances of irregular ity and insisted that regular army of ficerse had been guilty of irregularities and crimes. '.
 q regret these attacks upon the Ma tional Guard,' said Senator Reed, Man for man, officers and men of the Na- tional Guard measure up well with any class of our citizens. l don't know whether the dead body or the live body of Villa is on it's way to the American border, but if any further trouble arises T do know that within AS hours our Ma tional Guard troops will be mobilizing along the Rio Grande."
 Senator Reeds amendment to create from six to 12 training schools for West Point and Annapolis in various parts of the country was defeated g to S1. Others rejected included one by Senator Lee of Maryland to increase the number of Ma tional Guard enlisted from 200 men to $50 for each senator and representative in Congress and Senator Works proposal for an industrial military force of 250,00o men to serve a month each year in the army in times of peace and Il months in forestry and reclamation services in the Pacific coast and adjacent states.
 Tomorrow an amendment by Senator Brandegee to increase the proposed strength of the regular army from 1000 to 250,O00 will be passed upon.
