Delirious Woman Repeats
Name Of One Suspect
in Mutterings.

Mutterings of an aged woman who
lies at deaths door may lead to the
Identification Of two midnight assail-
ants who beat her and her husband
into insensibility and left them in the
yard of their home II miles from the
city on the Corpus Chriti road.
Two men we're arrested Saturday
night near the Second Mission on the
South Loop road as suspects in the
case.
One of them bears the name which
Mrs. Louisa Garcia. 65, repeated over
and over in her delirium Saturday.
Gabriel Garcia, 20, the husband,
still partially unconscious from blows
over his head, has given officers
description which fits the men under
arrest.
BOTH NEAR DEATH.
The aged couple were beaten al
most to death about midnight Friday
in an attack which officers describe
as being one of the most inhuman with
which they have had to deal.
Both were in a critical condition
Saturday night. The woman was not
expected to live.
In lucid moments Mr.. Garcia gave
Deputy Sheriff James, Flores, Speer
and Special Investigator Lee john
son an account of the attack.
After beating them with an iron
bar and leaving them unconscious in
the yard of their home the men car
ried an old family trunk from the
house and rifled it.
SIS STOLEN.
Forty-five dollars, the life savings
of the couple, and few trinkets, were
taken from the trunk. While the theft
Of the money is the obvious motive
for the crime, officers are working on
the theory that something Of greater
value than the cash is beneath the
surface.
Mr.. Garcia, though he remained in
a state of semi-consciousness Satur-
day, was able to give a disconnected
account of the attack.
His description of the pair who en-
ticed him from the house fits the two
men now under arrest.
CALLED BY NAME.
He was aroused about midnight, he
said, by someone calling his name and
looked from his bedroom window 70
see two men standing there with
flashlights. The told him they had
lost their boat on the river nearby
and wanted instructions as to direc-

Crawling out Of the window, Mr..
Garcia said, he walked down to the
main road with the men. When he
reached the gate, he said, he was
struck on the head several times and
fell unconscious.

awoke by the side of the road where
he had been thrown, his head land.

forward in the march of air transpor- tation progress.
 Hartman Makes Prediction
 Joe Hartman, head of the Harri- man National Bank, was quoted by Leon Urbach, as having made the prediction six and one-haf years ago, that within few years time, air ships would be operating between Seattle and Alaska.
 Plans vs. Dirieibles.
 R. H. Merrill airplane pilot agreed that aerial transportation, whether by plane or dimgible, is practical His knowledge concerning dirigibles is not as extensive, naturally, as that of airplanes, he stated, but he was assured the dirigible has one dis Inct advantage over a plane-that of capacity load carried.
 He said he had in mind, irrespec- tive of cost, the type of plane suit able for Alaska commercial service. This type of plane would be capable of carrying ten passengers besides the pilot, would be equipped with good accommodations, two motors, each of sufficient power to propel the plane, with a cruising radius of 500 miles. A plane of this descrip- tion, according to figures he has com piled, would cost in the neighbor- hood of $7O,O00.
 MT. Merrill stated he had decided to remain in Seward for the winter, during which time he planned to study of the mail and air passenger service in this district.

Spur Line Railroad
 Be Completed Soon
 Howard-Jes Mine

It will probably be about the mid dle of next month before thes spur line railroad will be completed to the HOward-Jesson coal mine on Moose creek, according to MT. Howard, who was brief visitor in Seward the fore part of the week. Progress on the new road has been going ahead rapid ly as could be expected and consider ing the numerous difficulties met with and overcome, among which was the high water from the creek.
 The mine itself will be ready for op- eration shortly following the compile tion of the road, and it is expected shipping of coal will start before the end of November. It is estimated about eight men will be on the com pany's payroll to start with.

If the company had come to AL aska for the sole purpose of securing the amount necessary to purchase the dirigible, such as the company has in mind, the success of the pro- posed venture would have been in doubt" MT. Langley stated during his remarks. There is ample f. nances in the States for any practi- cal venture which might be propos- ed," he continued, "but the sincere pledges of Alaskans with respect to the company, and to it's practicabil- ity, is necessary. The airship com pany will be entirely under the con- trol of an Alaskan Board of Direc- tors, most of whom have been sell ected at this time"
 Believes Is Practical.
 C. R. Morford, U. s. Commission CT, expressed himself as being satis- fled that in time, aerial transporta- tion to and in the Territory, would prove to be practical. The general trend of air transportation is per haps better reflected in the marked advance made in European countries, he said, where, it is now a common thing. The interest manifested by the United States government in dirigibles was stated as being a step

JAPAN MAPS OUT EXTENSIVE
 PROGRAM OF ROAD BUILDING

TOXIC, Sept. 21. (P)-Good roads in Japan are as hard to find as the proverbial haystack needle, but if bill which is being planned by the Home Department is enacted by the next Diet, automobiles in this coun- try will come in for their own. The proposed plan is either to build new highways or improve the present ones at a cost of some 300,0O0,0OO yen, one-third of which will be fur nished by the government.
 Under the proposed bill the gov ernment grants would come in ten yeraly installments, the first begin ming next year. It is planned to widen and pave the important high ways in rural districts, which at present are unfit for automotive trans portation, and to improve such pub lie roads over which railway con- struction is projected.
