Need of Postal Banks.
The advantages of postal savings
banks were told by Mr. Carter In a most
attractive manner. A sound business re
lation, he said, can never ha maintained
with reckless or improvident people. He
who spends all and saves nothing be
trays himself and those dependent upon
him and In the end he will cheat some
body and ' blame everybody. He con
tinued: The combined powers of the werld would
riBh In an attempt to conquer the Amerl-
n people and hold possession of this I
country. Our po.er to resist outside pres
sure Is Invincible. But who can forecast
the Issue of the event should a troublesome
prrcentase of Hie Roverend require an In
crease of our stnndtiiK Army to the rela
tive proportion , of the average European
war eotahllshment ? You; gentlemen of af

with. The Onvernmcnt In Interested In nur

iuhskcs are profoundly concerned in the
K row tii of prudence, thrift and patriotism.
He said it was impossible for savings
hank facilities to reach all the people in
rural sections, tin the other hand the
tlovernmcnt, w ith 40,000 money order 'post
offices, could do this work, to the great
lenclit of the country at large. He
showed the -extent to which postal sav
ings banks are operated abroad. He In
sisted that this work could not be called

ers who opposed the system do so with

Kver since the first days session of
the Jury, when Edwin T. Karl laid be
fore the inquisitors certain document
ary evidence, it became apparent that
Oswald was the essential witness of the
AMERICAN
NATION
Inquiry, the man without whom the in
vestigation must come to an abrupt
termination. Search was commenced
for him. $1000 reward was offered and
the District Attorney made 'public an
nouncement through the newspapers of
Immunity, provided Oswald would re
turn and tell the truth.
Three adjournments of the grand
Jury were taken in the hope of Os
wald's return. It was admitted that,
had he not returned today, the inquiry
might have ended. Oswald probably
will be with the Jurors for two or three
days, as there are numerous- ramifica
tions of the probe which he will be
called upon to elucidate. Other wit
nesses called today, including "William
Lawrence Fetter. John Fohl, G. Kaeuff
er and Pierre Lamberes, were excused
as soon as It was learned that Oswald
was on hand. These other witnesses
are held subject to call when they are
wanted.
ITnder Ball for Perjury.
Oswald, prior to entering the grand
jury room this morning, was taken to
Judge James' department of Ahe Su
perior Cour on the indictment returned
by the jurors April 6. charging him
with giving perjured testimony before
the last county grand jury, November
30. 1908. Oswald offered a bond of
$5000 and Judge James accepted it as
aumcieni ior Oswald s appearance when
wanted. After arraignment Oswald
was allowed to go. his case being con
tinued indefinitely to be set later.
"Just exactly to the day four weeks
ago when I disappeared." said Oswald
today. "Where did 1 go?" he added, in
reply to a question. "Nobody knows
except myself and the person 1 was
with. And nobody will know, for the
present, at deast.
"I was far enough away to fool them
all. They couldn't have found me in a
hundred years. I was never In a train
from the time I left I.os Angeles until
1 returned. I received no letter or com
munication from any one in Los An
geles while I was gone. The only way
I kept In touch with things was
through the newspapers. I sent my
friend out to buy a bundle of them oc
casionally." He laughed when Tia Juana was
mentioned.
Laughed at Searchers.
"Never was there at all." he -said.
"That was too hot for tne. I went
north to the mountains. When I read
about the hunt for me around Tla
Juana I had a good laugh. I had an
other when I read about the hunts in
Newhall and Randsburg, and Malibu
and CJardena. and in Los Angeles. No
one guessed within 50 miles of where I
was. and . I felt secure all the time.
When I decided to come to Los Angeles
Friday night 1 started out on foot.
Most of the way I came by wagon and
on horseback. I never entered a train
or a trolley car and saw mighty few
people. If those I did see had known
me. it would have, done them no good,
as I had a month's growth of beard on
my face that concealed my Identity. I
reached Los Angeles Saturday night at
7 o'clock. At 8:30 I was in the cus
tody of Mr. Blair, who stayed with me
until this morning."

purchase of plans and specifications for
a new type of submarine of smaller

present type.
The purpose of the Japanese govern
ment, if the negotiations be successfully
concluded. Is to send draughtsmen to New

As Soon as Port or Portland and
War Department Give Permission,

(Continued from First Page.)
gon str.eets. . The entire length of tho
new structure, including approaches, will
be 1875 feet.
The west approach will start on the
east line of Third street and thence fol
low Glisan street, to where it will curve
to the left, crossing the river to the in
tersection of East Adams and Oregon
streets. The bridge will be a double
track, double-deck structure, and de
signed to accommodate both railroad and
highway traffic.
The channel spans will consist of one
383-foot draw span and one 315-foot fixed
span. The upper deck will be used for
highway purposes and the lower for rail
road business, as In the present bridge.
Ihe west approach will be of viaduct con
struction and will be built on a 6.4 per
cent grade. This will make a much
easier approach to the bridge than on the
Steel bridge, where the grade is 8 per
cent. The east approach will also be of
viaduct construction, and will be built
on a 3 per cent grade.
Width to Be 50 Feet. -
The total width of the new bridge from
outside to outside of sidewalks, will be
approximately 50 feet, or 20 feet wider
than the present Steel bridge. The new
structure is designed of steel and will be
adapted to the heaviest railroad and
highway loading, its approximate weight
being 11.000.000 p-ounds. The east river
span, or fixed span, is to be flared at the
east end to allow trains to turn either to
the north or south.
In order to design the superstructure.
It has been necessary to make test bor
ings. These are now being carried on
under the direction ot Chief Engineer
Boschke to determine the character of
the material in the river bed for the
bridge foundations. On the West Side
these borings have been carried to a
depth of 180 feet below low water.
The channel piers of the proposed
bridge will be approximately 150 to 160
feet in height from the base to the bridge
seats.
Steel. Bridge Built 2 0 Years Ago.
. The present Steel bridge has done val
iant service for the past 20 years.' having
been built in 1889 under the direction of
George Morrison, one of the most promi
nent bridge engineers of the past genera
tion. That the bridge has stood so well
under the heavy burdens put unon It is
really remarkable. When the structure
was erected. It was put up to sustain
railroad locomotives or about ' 40 tons
with correspondingly light trains.
Every day locomotives are being run
across the bridge weighing 200 tons, with
their water and coal supplies, and draw
ing enormously heavy trains, both freight
and passenger. In addition to this, the
highway traffic on the upper deck, which
Is said to be particularly trying to the
strength of the bridge, has been in
creased to a remarkable degree. In fact,
the builders never dreamed the structure
would ever be called upon to sustain such
heavy traffic as it now carries every day
When the new bridge is completed it
will probably be called . tee "railroad
bridge." or the "O. R. &. N. bridge," in
order to get away from the misleading
term, "Steel bridge."
RAILROAD'S PLANS OPPOSED
Push Club Will Fight Location of

At a meeting last night of East Side
property-owners, held under the auspices
of the Steel Bridge Push Club at 232

of the Steel bridge. It was the sense of
the meeting that the hriH.a ct,.,u i.

should be removed not further than 300
feet south. It Is known that the railroad
company desires to build the bridge at
Oregon street, about three blocks south
of the present site, but those attending
last night's meeting are opposed to this
on the ground fhat It would Injure the
property In the vicinity of Holladay ave
nue, and furthermore, owing to the fact
that Oreeon Rtreet l Knt . : . .

ANGRY OVER TREATMENT
Mrs. Adams Says Owners Try to
Evade Bill for Dogs' Keep.
Mrs. S. B. Adams, of 630 Washington
street, keeper of the King Hill kennels,
is very Indignant about the treatment
she has received at the hands of own
ers of dogs who owe. her. money for bills
they have allowed to run up for keep
ing the canines in the kennels. Mrs.
Adams also denies that It was "neces
sary for Constable Wagner to kick in
the door when he came to the house
with a writ to take the dog of Harry
Litt away from the premises. Litt
made complaint to the officers that Mrs.
Adams was holding the dog for an ex
orbitant board bill, and took the legal
steps to recover his pet. Then Litt it
is said, professed that the dog was in
the last stages of the mange, and took
the animal t a dog hospital.
"Every word of that is false," said
Mrs. Adams, "and the statement shm.t
the mange was just made to injure me
and my business because I have insisted
that people should pay their bills. It
was Known when the dogs were put
into my kennels what my charges
were, and now an attempt is made to
injure me to keep fi.om paying the
bills. I will have the best veterinaries
in the city to prove that the rlnu-s
that are kept here are in the best ot
condition. I have for customers some
or the best people of the town, and I
can't afford to have people saying
things like that about me."
