Plans drawn by the company call for a subway 180 feet long with 14 1-2 foot clearance under the railroad track, and a road way- 22 feet wide, six feet of which shall go for a railed in and slightly elevated- sidewalk on one side, leaving 16 feet for the con crete walls the full distance of the approach from each side, and for paving.

Fernando, the Spanish hustiu.'sd Kuth Burnett, has related concerning his part in the stabbing which result ed in the death of his wife. As yet, however, nothing has been discovered that in anyway sheds the least parti cle of light upon the mystery: ' Yesterdav. F. Fernando, held at the local police station in connection with the death of H sirl-wife in the hospital Friday night the result of a knife wound, n.ade an entire change in hitf story 3 to how the affair oc curred. According to what he said Friday night, his wife was cutting bread, when she fell to the floor, piercing her bread with a knife. He declared he had carried her to a bed where she was found by the physicians. The blood sta!:s on his hands, he said, resulted fiv v, this. ' ' . Yesterday Fernando told the dep uty district attorney and officials of the city and county, that his wife was cutting toward her with the bread up to her breast Suddenly she cried "I am cut" walked into the b;droom and lay down on the bed. He declared he had not touched her, but had run im mediately lor help. He offered no new explanation for the blood stains on his hands and on his tie. This story is in direct opposition to hi.i el aborate explanation of the night pre vious. - Chief Kearney late yesterday re ceived a telegram from the parents of the dead girl, stating that they would arrive as soon as possible.

These could be seeded to grass and by care ful attention hold the earth sufficieat ly well it is argued. It would not have the tendency of leaving the embank ment so sharply defined it is claimed. Official sanction has been obtained from company headquarters in New York to proceed with the work as soon as it becomes mutually under stood just what is wanted. It is be lieved by local authorities in touch with the matter that it is only a mat ter of detail from now on and as soon as the city plans are submitted and acted upon, that some sort of a via duct will be built. The approaches in any event are to- be built by the city and the viaduct by the company. The company plans call for an out lay of $20,000 by the city, but the revised plans will amount to much less than that it is said. : V; If the viaduct is completed it will be possible for the school board to subdivide the school districts in such ' a way that many children living just south of the railroad track can at tend the Nortkside school with per fect safety in that they can cross in the viaduct and have school facilities brought rr.uch nearer to them.
