SUES GAZETTE FUR LIBEL ASKING s100,000

The Gazette Printing company was made the defendant in a $100,000 action for damages brought by Charles Holl- ingsworth yesterday in which the plaintiff alleges that the evening paper charged and asserted that his mother, Ellen Hollingsworth, had been mur- dered and intimating that he was her murderer
 The article on which the action is based appeared in the December 6. is sue of the newspaper under the cap tion "Hollingsworth is released on bail" The opening paragraph of the story, which is objected to by the plaintiff in particular, follows:
 On motion of the county attorney, the preliminary hearing of c. H. Holl- ingsworth, charged with matricide, has been continued until December 14th, pending a report on the autopsy on the body of the murdered woman. Mrs. Ellen Hollingsworth. The post mortem examination will reveal whether the aged woman was given an overdose of morphine, as charged against Hollingsworth.
 The remainder of the article reviews the proceedings in the justice court where the preliminary examination was held.
 Hollingsworth, according to the com plaint filed by w H. Dial, claims that the malicious and defamatory accusa- tions printed in the Gazette injured his reputation and standing as a citi- zen, for which he asks actual damages in the sum of S50,000. He further charges that the alleged libelous publi- cation so issued and circulated by the defendant through alleged malicious motives harrassed and injured him, and asks exemplary damages in the same amount.
 Hollingsworths arrest resulted from a complaint lodged against him with the authorities by Mrs. J. l.. Horton, nurse, who claimed that he beat, bound and gagged his mother.
 Although a number of witnesses were subpoenaed by the state, the murder charge against Hollingsworth did not develop, and without offering any defense the case against him was dismissed.
 Hollingsworth was represented at the preliminary hearing before Justice DeSouZa by F. c. Struckmeyer, Judge Dial of Flagstaff being associated with the local attorney MT. Struckmeyer has no connection with the present s100,000 action.

HEAVY STRAIN ON HIGHWAYS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Apparently the point has been
reached where the demands of traffic
have exceeded the strength of the
average road to meet them. High
ways designed to withstand the
pounding of ordinary loads, that have
stood up under imposts they were in
tended to sustain, no longer appear
to be adequate to meet the present
day conditions. Congestion on our
railways, possibly more acute in some
sections than in others, has put upon
our roads a transportation burden new
er expected and consequently not pro
vided for by the engineers who design
ed the highway systems of the states.
Roads have been designed with the
same care as given to other structures
and with the same regard for the pur-
poses for which they were constructed
and the burdens they were called upon
to bear. Widespread failure is dem
Onstrative of the fact that roads can
not carry unlimited loading. Their ca
pacity is limited. If it is exceeded
habitually and constantly, then they
cannot survive.
The products of our farms and of
our factories must be moved The
wants of our urban jewellers must be
met. But the needs of our country in
