Mrs. Oraco Mcrrltt, defendant In
tho divorce suit of George A. Merrltt,
was on the witness stand all day Tues
day and vas under cross examination
most of tlm afternoon by Attorney
Otis Newbury. A bitter exchange of
comments between tl-.e defendant nnd
her husband's counsel, veiled charges
of perjury, a letter fiojn Mary A.
Hauer of Venice, Calif., giving the ad
dress of William Nestlehouse of
Omaha, Nebraska, a racetrack man,
and tho klndnovs and the alleged jeal
ousy of an aunt of the plaintiff, wero
high spots In the day's session.
The letter of Mary A. liauer told
of tho alleged Friendship, between
draco Merrltt and William Nestle
house, and how "Mrs. Merrltt hail
read me letters she had written." The
cpistlo Implored ileorge Merrltt, Its
recipient not to divulge the author,
"as we want nothing to do with Oraee
or her affairs, but just mention Hil
lle Nestlehouse, and It will surprise
her, nnd you can win your suit." The
letter set forth that Mr. Ilnuer knew
nothing of It. and was written, "as
a special favor." The address of Nes
tlohnuso was given as 905 Kirkbach
mock, Omaha, Neb. - '
. .Mrs. Merrltt denied tho impeach
ments In the letter, vigorously.
Questioned relative to an affidavit
from the auditor of the U. S. Grant
Hotel at San Diego, Calif., stating that
Mrs. Merrltt had not been registered
wiib her brother, on the date she, said,
led to a warm interchange,
"Do you mean to intimate thnt I
prevailed upon tho auditor to com
mit perjury," asked Attorney New
bury. '
"if the shoe fits, put it on Mr.
Newbury," was tho reply.
Another bit of sarcasm fired by the
defendant was "Miss McCully told me
once you were a crook and I think
that Is why she hired you to try mid
win this case."
Attorney Newbury smiled at this
renin rk, with the comment, "That's
fine."
Tho Interchange became liit,hlyper
soual and the court admonished both
to be calm. A moment later n-recess
was ordered.
Mrs. Merritt also denied that she
has told Mrs. Pearl MeCredie, when
she accompanied a gentleman home
from n party that the centleinan,
whose name was not mentioned had
made tho trip at her own suggestion,
or had told Mrs. MeCredie, when tluy
arrived tit her home she would any,
"Good night, Pearl! Good night, C'li
tls!" so tho plaintiff would think Mr.
and Mrs. MeCredie hud accompanied j
her home.
"At their suggestion I went home
with him," Mrs.. Merrltt testified. "It
Is true It was a moonlight night, and
my company was a gentleman."
Tho witness testified that when she
told Mrs. Itetor of Jacksonville, "she
was going to California to visit a
friend, I meant my brother." There
was some spirited comments between
the witness nnd Attorney Newbury
on this point.
Mrs.. Merrltt, under cross examina
tion admitted that. .Miss Issie McCully
of Jacksonville, aunt of the plaintiff
had given heY many gifts, and been
Itlnd, hut had criticised "her house
keeping." i :
It .is expected thnt the hearing will
bo concluded today.

Automobile
Millions now recognize the automo
bile as a necessity. It is no longer a
luxury for the few. Sixty per cent of its
use is for business.
Because of this the modern paved
highway has become an economic ne
cessity. ' 1
Yet although the mileage of Concrete
Roads and Streets has been steadily in
creasing, our highway system today lags
' far behind the automobile. The great
' majority of our highways are as out of
date as the single-track, narrow gauge
railway of fifty years ago. !
Such a condition not only seriously
handicaps the progress of the automo
bile as a comfortable, profitable means
of transportation, but also holds back
commercial, industrial and agricultural
advancement in practically every sec
tion of the country! It is costing tax
payers millions of dollars annually. " "
Highway building should be con
tinued and enlarged upon.
Your highway authorities are ready to
carry on their share of this great public
work. But they must have your support.
