TURNER WILL BUILD BRIDGE
Guarantees to Erect Structure
Across Escambia River for
Half Million.
WANTS INVESTIGATION
Believes State Road Department
Should Show Where Money
Has Been Spent.

c. H. Turner head of the Turner
Construction Company, in talking with
The Journal yesterday afternoon de-
clared that the estimate on the Ferry
Pass bridge. made by the State Road
Department was outra geous and that
he would guarantee TO build a bridge
across Escambia river for $500, 600 and
would also guarantee that the bridge
he constructed would not need repairs
for 10 years.
Mr.. Turner has had wide experience
in construction work and has filled
many contracts for the United States
government. He is conceded to be one
Of the most practical builders in the
state
With reference to the state Road
Department, Mr.. Turner declares that.
although Chairman Smiths explana-
ton of the law appears sound. he be-
ieves J. d. Smith Of Mariana could
make some interesting revelations, a
belief held by many other citizens and
freely stated at various club meetings
yesterday.
Mr.. Turner thinks a Fighting COM
mittee' of Pc lcola delegates should
attend the me ing of the State Board
January % and see what has become
of the state money and find out why
some counties were given from $500 600
10 a million dollars and Escambia
county was allotted but 100000. Mr..
Turner believes a little Investigation
would be good for the department. and
also good for Escambia county. He
thinks the estimate in the Ferry. Pass
bridge was made for the purpose OF
killing the bridge project.

Waters Over Bottom
Lands Commence to
Recede at Slow Rate

The abatement of the waters in
North and East Omaha bottom
lands began early yesterday eve
ming, the water receding from the
farm and truck gardens at about
the rate of an inch per hour.
This is the third time since March
that the, land in this section has
been inundated by food waters from
the Missouri river and Florence
lake.
The river did not reach the flood
stage, according to L. A. Welsh of
the local federal weather bureau.
The flood stage here is 10 feet, and
the river was at its highest at 1S.l
feet.
Dairy farms belonging to A.
Petersen, George Harbster, Otto
Dichler, Joseph Kurtz and James
Anderson are still inundated. The
home of Dan Roman, 6502 North
Sixteenth street, is surrounded by
water. Roman and his family were
forced to move early yesterday.
Although the flood is not as seri-
Gus tbis time as it was in both
former breaks, many truck gardens
have been ruined.

Took Down Gun.
Bostelmann testified at one time
today that he had taken down his
gun during an argument with Frieda
over her proposed marriage.
But he said he did not intend to
harm her or anyone, and besides,
he added, there were no shells in the
house.
Marie, the younger sister of the
dead girl, said On the stand that she
had heard threats of her father to
hang himself if Frieda should marry
Butzke.
On cross-examination, she said her
mother had told her of the threats.
In Jail Before.
The father admitted under cross
examination that he had been in Jail
before. He declared he has been
in poor health lately and has been
unable to sleep. getting up in the
middle of the night and prowling
around.
Questioned again concerning the
words of his wife as he bore the
body Of his daughter to the porch
of the home, Bostelmann said the
mother cried out.
"Oh, Fred! What have you
done? Have you given her poison?"
Discussion of the probable deci-
sion of the coroner's jury among
the audience outside the court room
is strong.
Threats Still Heard. ..
Threats are still heard that if
Bostelmann is not convicted there
will be an uprising.
Sheriff Hall scouts all idea of a
disturbance, but it is generally un-
derstood among the crowds that
the Jail where the father is being
held is closely guarded with heavily
armed men.
Many residents from the vicinity
of the dead girls home town, Stod-
dard, and of Chester, where her
flance lives, are in the crowds which
surround the court house and surge
in and around Hebron.
The inquest is expected to close
today and the case given into the
hands of the jury before nightfall.

Present Labor Platform.
Samuel Gompers and other Ameri-
can Federation of Labor leaders pre-
sented labor'S demands to the COM
mittee, after which Mr.. Bryan out
lined his plan for settling labor dis
putes.
Il shall submit for the consdera-
ton of the committee" said Mr.,
Bryan, a very simple plan which
is identical in its general provisions
with the plan embodied in so treaties
with three quarters of the world, and
afterward made the cornerstone OF
the league of nations. 1t contem-
plates a permanent board OF three
men, one chosen from classes as
sumed to be in sympathy with the
employer, one representing the en-
ploye and third selected with a
view to finding a person as nearly
, impartial as possible. This commits
sion would have authority to invest,-
gate industrial disputes OH the request
of either side or upon its own in
itiative. In each dispute two men,
bers would be added to the COM
mission, one chosen by each side in
order that each side woud he sure
to have a representative on the COM
i mission. A limited time woud be al
lowed for investigation. The report
of the commission would not be
binding on either side, but would be
guide to public opinion"
Mr.. Bryan said he was opposed to
compulsory arbitration.
Hearings on various issues con-
! tinued before the resolutions com.
mittee until late hour tonight and
the subcommittee which is reviewing
| the administration platform
