SAN JOSE. Costa Rica, Sept. 10.
The assassination of Joaquin tt
noco, late minister of war and the
brother of former President Fede-
an unsolved mystery with indica-
tions that the slayer may never be
brought to answer for his crimes
The fortnight which has elapsed
since the tragedy has brought out
a number of Interesting facts in
connection with it which never be-
fore have been told,
Joaquin was SO years old, one of
the handsomest men in Costa Rica,
a quick shooter and courageous as a
lion. He was tall and of athletic
build, fond of horses and a mem
Der of one of the most distinguished
families. He rarely went unarmed
and had fought a number of duels.
The widow of one of his a~dversaries,
a lawyer he killed in a revolver
fight, a few years ago sought to
avenge her husband and fired five
shots at close range at Tinoco but
the latter survived his wounds.
When on January 81, 1917, his
brother Federico, who was minister
of war in the cabinet of President
Alfredo Gonzalez, depOsed the latter
and became head of the government,
JOAQUIN was given the war port

folio and thereupon, it is said, be-
came the real president OF Costa
Rico. For two years previously
Joaquin had been fighting revolu-
tionists and personal enemies and
when he became minister of war he
became still more energetic and ag-
gressive. 1t has been said that
Joaquin on the day of his death
had more enemies than a popular
motion picture actress in the United
States had admirers.
On the day before the assassina-
tion joaquin went before the Costa
Rican congress and asked to be re-
lieved as vice president, a position
he held by virtue of his cabinet
post. At the same time his brother,
the president, asked official permits
sion to leave the country because
of "ill health" Both requests were
preparing to depart when %Jo11uia
was shot down.
A few months before he met his
death Joaquin began to take a
strange interest in spiritualism. FIRE.

SEPARATE PASSENGER
AND FREIGHT AUTO
ROADS PLANNED

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. C.
Freight roads and passenger roads
are probabilities of the compare
lively near future in ~cOngested sec
tions of the country, according to
Chairman George C. Diehl of the
A. A. A. Good Roads board, who
has sem a communication to this
effect to the office of the chief en-
gineer of the war department. in re-
Spouse t O a communication from
General w. M. Black. Mr.. Diehl
thus comments on the up-to-datc
highways problem;
There will never be a time
when all roads are of equal dura-
bility and carrying capacity. High
ways and railroads are analogous,
in that they are both designed to
carry traffic and general rules
which have been developed through
scientific management of railroads
apply as well almost invariably to
highways. The heaviest locomotives
and rolling stock are carried on
roads like the New York Central
and Pennsylvania and Union Pa
cific. Their use over lighter con-
structed railroads would ruin the
roads in a comparatively brief
period.
There must come a classification
of highways. Over class l the
heaviest motor trucks and trailers
would be permitted; each track
should have large figures conspicu-
ously placed on the sides to indi-
cate the total weight that it was
permitted to carry; operators and
owners of the trucks should he
prosecuted for using the heaviest
trucks on roads designed tor lighter
traffic. 1t would he comparatively
simple to enforce such provisions,
as there seems to be no defense OF
the proposition of permitting pie
or two heavy trucks to ruin al in
vestment OF man! Thousand dollars
on the lighter constructed high
ways.
"At road intersections the high
way capacity could be indicated, as
the highway department should, l
believe, have a traffic department
under a chief traffic engineer, hav-
ing to do, not with construction and
maintenance, but merely with the
control of traffic. 1t is extremely
likely that it would result ulti-
mately in a system of freight roads
and passenger roads, and that wider
and parallel roads would be found
to be the most economical method
of laying out the highway system.
at is impossible to lay out all
roads of the heavy form of con-
struction; in the first place, the
money is not available. and, Sec
ondly, too nan years would elapse
before the more sparsely settled
sections of the country were devel-
oped. 1t would not be at all diff
cult to break bulk when leaving the
heavy traffic roads, and in a com
paratively brief time an excellent
theory of highway construction
would be developed whereby each
locality would be able to determine
the amount it was feasible for them
to expend on each mile of highway
construction"

thi, by sticking his axe into the trunk
