V 3 EOF bridge cannot be regarded as adequate IS LENT lor present traffic requirements and that analysis of fixed and movable spans has revealed a general condition of overstress in the superstructure. In summing up the recommenda tions, it is stated that the feasibility of repairs hinges on uncertainty as to the stability of the foundation, de fects in loading the drum, the extent to which rust has eaten the metal, overstress, poor metal and inadequacy for traffic. Immediate suggested repairs in clude timber reinforcement of pilings at the approaches, better bracing of steel spans ov"er the railway tracks and general repairs at the west end. Replacing of the end floor beams of the draw is declared the most press ing need. , No action relative to the report or the possibility of building a. new bridge immediately will be taken un til the next 'meeting ' of the county commissioners.

Investiga tion was ordered by the state depart ment today of the circumstances at tending: the kidnaping: of two Amer icans in Mexico. The American con sul at Chihuahua was instructed to conduct the inquiry and there were indications that no representations would be made to the new Mexican government unless the investigation develops that the men were seized by others than forces of Francisco Villa. It was assumed, however, that the Americans were carried off at Villa's orders as a part of his tactics to extort tribute from the mining companies. . Homer C. Carr, one of the captives, is a mining engineer employed by the American Smelting & Refining company, who went to Mexico from New York city. The identity of the other prisoner was uncertain. The ronpular report gave his name as "Macdonald." NEW YORK, May 26. Belief that Bernard McDonald, chief of field op orations for the American Smelting & Refining company at Parral, Chi huahua, is- one of the men reported by the American consul in Chihuahua aa a prisoner at Jimminez, was ex pressed by an official of the company here today. McDonald's home is in Los Angeles. MEXICO CITY, May 26. Formal in vestigation for the purpose of clarify ing the part taken in the death of President Carranza, both by Colonel Rodolfo Herrero and members of the Carranza party, is recommended by the commission of four, named by Generals Obregon ano Gonzales, to in quire into the tragedy at Tlaxcalan tongo. The commission submitted its report last night and cited 10 points which the members had agreed had been proved from stories of witnesses. It was added that in a number of points many other stories purporting to detail actual circumstances could not be confirmed and were unworthy of credence. Execution Story Told. A summary of the commission's re port, which is the first authoritative story of the death of Carranza, fol lows in part: "Colonel Herrero joined the Car ranza party at Putla, state of Puebla, May 20, following a conference with General Francisco de P. MarieL Gen eral Mariel then left the Carranza party. "When Carranza reached Tlaxcalan tongo he was led by Herrero to the hut where he was to sleep. Before retiring Carranza ordered Captain Suarez to assist in placing sentinels, all of whom were Herrero's men. "Herrero later told Carranza that a messenger had informed him his brother was injured, whereupon Her rero left the village. At 3 o'clock on the morning of May 21, three of Her rero's men entered the president's hut, stating that they had been ordered to report to him what the situation was, adding that nothing new had oc curred." (The report saye ' this move was probably for the purpose of ascertain ing if all in the hut were in bed and whether Carranza had changed his position.) (General Attack Follows. ."Half an hour later, the hut was attacked from all sides. "President Carranza was heard to rry, 'I can't get up; my leg is broken.' He then begged for a carbine so that he could defend himself, but was answered by a volley which ended his life instantly. "The other occupants' of the hut fled and there was great confusion in the village. Herrero, at the head of his men, captured many of the party, who were taken 12 miles away, while others were left in Tlaxcalantongo. Four or five of these prisoners were forced to sign a statement that Car ranza had committed suicide." Defendant Estate of Orion Denny. Said to Be Son of One of Seat tle's Founders. SAN FRANCISCO. May 26. An ac tion which Involved a claim for more than $100,000 in alimony from the estate of Orion Denny,' son of A. A. Denny, said to be one of the founders of the city of Seattle, was debided against the claimant, Mrs. Eva F. Richmond, in the state district court of appeal here today. Both Orion San Francisco in 1884, subsequently remarrying. Following the fire which swept the city in 1906 she started an action on the ground that $250 monthly alimony had been awarded her and had never been paid. The ali mony order, she said, had been lost in the lire and she asked for its restoration. The lower court held that as Dennv was making only $75 a month as an engineer on one of his father's steam ship lines between Seattle and Van couver, it was not probable that the divorce court fixed the alimony so high. This Tinding was sustained in today's decision. The accumulated alimony, with interest, would amount to more than $100,000, according to an unofficial announcement from the court. The elder Denny left an estate of $500,000. according to the statements of attorneys. The son worked out his own fortunes, they said. A. A. Denny's name was said to be carved on a monument erected to -the founders of the city of Seattle at Alki point, opposite the city. SEXATOR JOHXSOX REPLIES TO QUESTIONNAIRE.

Senator Johnson, replying today to the ques tionnaire submitted to all presiden tial candidates by the national board of farm organizations, pledged his support to each of the "planks" in its platform. He had found nothing in the entire programme. Senator Johnson said, to which he could not "honestly subscribe." There is need at the present time for complete co-operation between the two great elements of society," he continued. "The consumer in the city and the producer on the farm. if they will work intelligently to gether, can overcome in a great de gree the profiteer." Senator Johnson expressed himself in favor of regulating the packers, preventing a curb to free speech and for reopening of the railroad question if, after a reasonable trial, the roads do not give good service. , Old Structure Declared Seriously AVeakened and Inadequate for Traffic Requirements. Two or three years at the most is the service limit of the Burnside bridge, according to the state high y commission, which reported yes terday to the county commissioners results of an investigation of the span. The report sums up the defects In the old bridge as follows: The piers are not in first-class physical condition, but have a .suffi cient margin of stability to render them reasonably safe for the present; the tipping and settlement of the channel piers resulting from river traffic collisions, however, have so en dangered their stability as to make their continued use for an extended period hazardous; defect of the drum due to faulty loading cannot be over come at any reasonable cost; decay in the metal at points difficult to reach is serious and rusting and defective metal reduce the safe carrying capac ity at least 25 per cent.

Sure Relief 6 Bell-ans Hot water Sure Relief E LL-ANS FOR INDIGESTION Why you are interested in an American merchant marine PATRIOTIC Americans agjee that a merchant marine is necessary to the Nation's welfare in peace and vital to its safety in war. For decades before the war our flag was rarely met at sea. America could not meet the com petition of foreign ships, more cheaply operated and often fostered by govern ment aid. We have a great merchant fleet. We must keep it. But we must maintain American standards both in the shipyard and on the sea. The Seaman's Act of 1915 ' improved conditions on board American ships and 'awakened a new interest in seafaring. Legislation now pending in Congress aims to perpetuate our war-built mer chant marine. American labor is vitally interested Because busy shipyards employ tens of thorn sands of men (350,000 during the war) ; there are as many outside of but dependent on the shipyards; ships employ thousands more; Because our shipyards and ships cannot . exist much less pay high wages unless wise shipping laws are enacted; Because more ships mean more foreign trade,1 which spells more work for American labor.
