SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 25.
Dorothy Ellingson, the (tlrl -who
killed her mother rather than stay
home from a jazz party tell In a
faint flat on the stone corrldorB
as court was adjourned for noon at
today's session of her murder trial.
The girl, deathly pale, a crumpl
ed, forlorn figure, was carried In
to an ante-room of the court. Her
father and court attendants work
ed over her several minutes before
she showed slims of animation.
Defense counsel announced that
physicians would examine the girl
and report to the court on her con
dition. They said It would then be
decided whether the court would
be asked to dejay the trial.
The girl's hat flew off in the
fall and the prison physician be
gan an examination to determine
whether her head was Injured.
The girl, who had become hys
terical while photographers were
taking her picture outside the
court room this morning, sat
through the morning session of the
trial nervous but calm. As she
started out with a police woman
for the noon recess, she fell with
out warning, her body striking the
stone floor with a thud.
In the ante-room water was
dashed In her face and smelling
salts applied. Her father kissed
her constantly as he worked to re
vive her to consciousness. 'Lying
on a table she looked far different
from the pleasure mod glry who
faced the police defiantly after
she had shot her mother and gone
to a party the same night.
Not for 20 minutes after her
swoon was Dorothy able to walk.
She then was supported to the
prison infirmary.
Judge Louderback had adjourn
ed court until 2 p. m. and the trial
was expected to be resumed then
unless the girl's condition necessi
tated further delay.
A long line of spectators was
ranged this morning along the cor

WIDEN MILO GRADE
Road Crew to Shoot Off
Points on Narrow Section
Between Milo and
Tiller.
Road work la starting all over
the county, and considerable Im
provement Is expected during the
next few weeks. .More road dis
tricts voted special taxes this year
than ever before In the history of
the county, and with this special
money, which in some cases waa
augmented by funds from the coun
ty geneal road fund. In practically
every road district of the county
the supervisors are busy scraping,
grading or dragging the roads, as
at this time of the year they are
easily worked, and if put In proper
shape now will stand up well dur
ing the summer months.
On April 2 the county court ex
pects to open bids for the paving of
nearly a mile more of the Edenbow-
, er road. The section of road which
I was graded last year Is to be paved
I this year, giving a fine Improve
j ment in that direction. The court
is also planning on spending about
I $15,000 on the road west of town,
I and will start that job as soon as
possible. The road is to be
straightened, widened In some
spots and graveled. It Is expected
that the money available will be
sufficient to cary the work to Oak
Creek. This Is one of the market
road projects.
Several minor Improvements are
being made by the county road
crew. The crew has been working
near Melrose, blowing off the point
of rock which makes the road nar
row and dangerous at that place.
This Job will be completed tonight,
and It Is planned then to go to
Mllo where there Is a bad place on
the road between there and Til
ler.
The grade Is winding and nar-
row just above Mllo, and it la the
plan of the county to widen the
I grade by shooting of a part of the
Inside bank, giving a wider road -
bed. As the prisoner in the coun-
ty jail are used as a part of this
crew tho work can be cheaply done
and the county haa a number of
these powder Jobs where lmprove-l
ments will be made In the future.
The county Is now removing
the slides on the Reedsport section
of the Umpqua highway, and Is
widening the lower end. The gov
ernment has appropriated 190.000
to surface the section between
Scottsburg and Reedsport this
year, and it will soon be open for
travel. A ferry will be maintained
i at Scottsburg until the county can
obtain sufficient funds to construct
a bridge.
Rids are to be opened on the 2nd
for the construction of the Coffee
Creek bridge near Tiller. A large
bridge which formerly spanned the
stream was washed out during the
December storm and a new struc
ture Is to be erected this year.
It Is still too wet to attempt work
on the new section of the Loon
Lake-Mill Creek road, but this pro
ject will probably be taken up
within a month or six weeks, ac
cording to present plans.
