Air Hardens Steel.

Steel hardening by spray OF
compressed air is the plan adopted for
certain special work in a German ca.
tablishment. For hardening only in
parts-such as the surface Of rails and
points for sidings-the local Quench-
ing in oil or water sets up dangerous
tension, and . new means has been
sought for giving 4 safe transition
from the hardened to the unhardened
material. The compressed air spray
Is found to give the desired results.
The air reaches the metal through
special nozzles, and accurately graded
degrees Of hardness are obtained by
regulating the number and arrange.
ment Of holes in the nozzle. When
these are wide apart the surface Is

MONROE TRIAL IN oUsuouE.

Mann Act.

Mann Aet.
Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. Feb. 3.-That James X,
Love, alias Monroe, alias Darling, who
IL Is charged, lured Mrs. Edna Jochum,
here and took her to Cedar Rapids
where he later deserted her and her
year-old baby boy. will he brought TO
Dubuque for trial was Indicated yes
terday afternoon when United States
District Attorney r. A OConnor, Oh
this city, nled an information with the
United States commissioner charging
him violation OF the Mann act. A war
rant issued later In the day will be sent
TO Chicago for service.
While there is some uncertainty ss
10 whether Love will como here i'm
mcdistely it is practically agreed that
should he escape transfer on the war
rant. extradition would surely follow
indictment by federal grand jury,
There was some question as to whether
or not Love would be tried here or In
Cedar Rapids, but II appears probable
that the district attorney vii prosecute
the case here for the reason that BOTH
the witnesses Mrs. Jochum and her
mother Mrs. Jennie Crouse-reside
here.
Mrs. Jochum arrived here yesterday
from Cedar Rapids and went almost
immediately TO the office OF the distr' :
attorney where she told her story. II
was after the interview that the dis
trict attorney filed the information aud
the warrant issued. Mrs Jochum's
story, told behind closed doors, was
practically the same as that told to
the authorities at Cedar Rapids. She
declared here. however, that Love met
her on this side Of the river and took
her to East Dubuque in a tayi-cab,
where the tickets for Cedar Rapids
were purCha sed.
