A very favorable report on the prog ress of the Lyman dam and the i'm provement in conditions in the St. Johns district has been brought to the capitol by State Treasurer Ross, who has just completed a trip of inspection to the dam, which is being constructed under state supervision.
 Ross reports that the work is going forward in fine shape, 145 animals and 11S men being employed at this time. The dam is to be a rock-filled and earth faced structure. 450 feet thick at the base, 70 feet wide across the top, roo feet long, and 70 feet high above the stream level of the Little Colorado, which it backs up to form a reservoir capable of holding 36.000 acre feet Of water.
 The weight of the rock to be used in the dam is four times the weight of any possible water pressure, so that there will be no danger Of the structure go- ing out, as the former dam did. The work is under the supervision oi F. L. Sallew, as engineer in charge for
 the state.

 cheered up by the prospect Of the early completion of the dam, which should be ! completed by the first of the year and ! fill in time to rrigate next years crops

WRITER TELLS IF LUKES BRILLIANT
 LAST FIGHT IN AIR

Lesles Weekly of the current week has an article, "Luke's Last Fight" by Sergeant Seth T. Bailey of the Stars end Stripes who witnessed. He saw inc burning balloons sent down by the young Phoenician. It was while the gaze of Sergeant Bailey was turned from the aviator to the flaming bal loon that the former disappeared and was seen no more by him. He learned later from the testimony of the resi- dents of Mervaux what had happened and it was later learned by him who the intrepid aviator was.
 Bailey's description of the last fight is much the same as those official re- purts of it which have been received by his father from France. Bailey ex- plains one thing that had often men toned, the frequent failure of Lieuten- ant Luke 10 return to his airdrome, but to go to distant fields for gasoline , Says Bailey: There was no holding him in check He picked fights against heavy odds. flew alone when he was under orders not to, flew at times and under weather conditions when he was supposed safe in camp, and toward the md, went scouting to strange fields for his replenishments of gas and ammu- milton. fearful, if he showed up at his own airdrome, that he would be held there.
 All the accomplishments of Lieuren- ant Luke, which late in September brought him into prominence apove all aviators in the world were compressed into the brief space of seventeen days.

S5OO0 FOR INJURIES BUT SNAIL
 CHANCE ID COLLECT

Mrs Ola Hamrick who was run down and seriously injured by an au- tomobile driven by 13 year old Ralph Henderson, a negro boy, yesterday appeared in court asking for S25.000 damages against the car owners, George Murray and his wife Katherine Murray, who permitted the boy to drive the machine. The suit was not defended and the jury returned yer dict for the plaintiff in the sum of s5, ,000
 Whether or not Mrs. Hamrick will ever be able to collect any of the amount is doubtful, since almost i'm mediately after the accident the mort
 gagees of the Emergency garage, which the negroes conducted, fore closed. Murray is said to be in MeXi- co and his wife in San Diego and neither of them have any property or which execution can be had.
 The accident took place shortly af
 ter dark on the evening of December s, when a Stutz car drizen at rapid rate of speed without headlights ran down Mrs. Hamriek at the intersec- ton of Central avenue and Grant
 street She sustained Q. compound fracture of the thigh. an injury to her back and minor scratches and bruises. , She was confined to the hospital for ! several months and Dr. l.. D. Dameron 1 testified that she would not be able to
 resume work for a year and might be 1 permanently crippled. Proir to the ac- | cident, he said, she had been in ex- i cellent health and had been employed ! by him as office clerk.
 Mrs. Hamrick was pitifully weak af- | ter walking into the court room on
 crutches. She was forced to rest for some little time before taking the 1 stand. Her accident at the time caused
 intense indignation at the fragrant vio- 1 lation of the state laws and city ordi-
 nance in permitting 13 year old boy l to drive a car. The lad, when brought 1 before the juvenile authorities, stated | that he had been ordered by his rela- ! tives, the Murrays, to drive the car l and it was generally believed that a [ criminal action would follow. There | was no action, however. and the only ] echo of the accident was the damage suit heard before Judge Lyman yes i terday.

LYDICKSEN NOT
 BLACK LANDER
Captain Cronan Believes One of Lashar Bandits
 Entirely Innocent.

Daniel Ihyd1cksen, the 19-year-old accomplice in the iblackmailing at tempt against Walter B. Lashar, was bound over to the Superior court un- der $2, 600 bonds by the City court this morning.
 Efforts on the part of I1ydicksen's counsel to question the jurisdiction of the Bridgeport City court failed Judge Wilder found no grounds to base @. plea to the Jurisdiction and appeared to credit the contention of the city attorney that the crime was committed within the courts baiH- wick.
 Captain Edward J. Cronan of the Detective Bureau exnresses his opin- ion that the boy is innocent of the charge and believes there is no con- nection in the relations of the boy with William J. Haggerty; the princi- pal in the crime.
 Haggerty was bound over by the City court last week without exam ination after the court was informed that detectives had arrested him af- ter he had taken 8 decoy package of imitation money from a. planted mail box on Bruce street, Stratford The package had been placed there fol- lowing instructions received in a, blacEnailing letter addressed to Wal ter B. Lashar and later turned over to the police.
 Lydicksen claims that on account of the recent papering of his room he went out to get some fresh air and while stro7ling along Bruce street was told by some boys that there were some tramps hiding in the bushes nearby. The supposed tramps were po- lice detectives lying in wait for the blackhanders who were expected to visit the mail box and get possession of the demanded ransom.
 1Xdicksen stopped and lighted a match, peering into the bushes on the roadside in the vicinity of the mail box. These actions, he alleges. were mistaken by the police who supposed him to be an accomplice of Haggerty.

BOND BUYERS URGED TO GUARD
 AGAINST THEFT

Washington, April 24-Subscribers to Victory Liberty loan notes are en- outraged by the treasury to buy reg istered instead of coupon notes to eliminate danger of theft or loss. In explaining this today, treasury off, cials said the desire of the treasury to issue registered securities wher- ever possible was emphasized in this loan because the registered notes carries only interest coupon for the December 15 payment this saving the treasury the expensive routine of sending out interest payment checks at that time
 Unofficial reports show that most subscriptions so far have been for coupon notes, which may be con- verted later to registered securities. Most subscriptions appear to be for the 3-4 per cent. partially exempt notes rather than the 3-4 wholly exempt securities.
 The New England district today had "A communities above the 100 per cent. mark, including Rutland and Bennington.
 The Victory snip Marblehead was reported today at San Diego. Cal. From there the U. S. s. Crane will complete the race to New York with it's speed determined by the nations subscriptions.
