Mrs. Elias hnd regained lu-r IIIInI-

$700, 000 and according to her state-

Attorney Bruuns. representing the
prisoner. protests-II against high bail.
He said it was true his client had sonic
property but it was not as much as
"was generally supposed and was tied
up by a court order. He thought that
. in as much as the charge on which she
'_ was arraigned involved only $7,500.
the bail should be low. He thought
" ‘ $5,000 would be a reasonable bull.
_ ”This woman has plenIy of money,

said.
"The circumstances of last week,”
said Mr. Jerome, “the. crowd in front of

TRACK SUPPLIES AND TREATED
TIMBERS.
New Form of Railmad Tie Recom-
mended by the Bureau Of Forestry.
The annual consumption of ties on
203,132 miles of railroad track in this
country is 114,000,000, and it is yearly
lit‘(‘(illillli.{ harder to meet this demand.
lranilc. metal. and, more rccently.c.on-
crctc tics have been experimented with
but nowhere permanently adopted, and
the, indications are that wooden ties
are not soon to be displaced. The
llurenu of Forestry has for some. time
been making studies and experiments
designed to improve the present con-
ditions lilltl to prevent the exhaustion
of the timbers from which ties are
made. Bulletin No. 50, “Cross-Tie
Forms and Rail Fastenings. with
Speciul Reference to Treated 'l‘im-
hers," by Dr. Hermann von Schrenk.
which has just been published. gives
the latest results of these investiga-
tions.
The manner in which lies have hith-
erto been madeI has been determined
largely by the case. and rapidity with
which they could be cut. They have
been obtained from trees of all diame-
ters from 9 inches upward. the most
serviceable portions of live straight
trees being selected, The sapwood top
sections and trees killed by fire. in-
sects. disease. etc” In blown down
could not be utilized. owin ., to the fact
that ties from sapwood or dead timber
decay rapidly.
Although large ties make. a better
rondbed than the same amount of tim-
ber in a greuter number of small ties.
the first consideration is to have as
great a bearing surface as possible on
the ballast. A trapezoidal or modi-
fied iIIIlf~roIInd tie, with a base of 10
to 12 inches nnd II. top»benrlug surface
of 6 inches distributes the weight of
moving trIIiII loads upon the roadbcd
us effectually as a rectangular tie 10
to 12 inches broad. The half-round
tie is good for the Iumberman because
in numerous instances two ties of this
form can be made from a. log which
would furnish but. one rectangular tie;
in other cases material for several
boards is saved where n rectangular
tie Would have taken tiltI entire log.
This form is beneficial to the forest.
since it encourages the cutting of large
trees and the saving of small ones Im-
til they reach more valuable size, and
permits the utilization of much timber
from the tops, hitherto left in the
woods. The half~round tie is advanta-
geous from a mechanical standpoint al-
so. because it gives greater bearing
surface per mile and a corresponding
ly more stable track than rectangular
ties. This tie form is therefore ndvo
outed by the Bureau of Forestry as
economical of timber, conservative of
the lumber supply, and at the same
time equally efficient with the forms
in common use.
Tics are commonly graded as first.
second. and third class, and culls. or
lies. which either in size or in quality.
fall below the specifications, but which
the railroads generally accept up to a
certain percentage of the total number
of ties. though at a greatly reduced
price. There is. however no accepted
standard as to what constitutes a first.
second. or third-class tie, and the spe-
cifications of the various railroads
show wide differences in the dimen-
slons required. it is proposed by Dos-
tor von Schrenk that a standard classi-
fication be adopted, consisting at six
or more classes to be known as A. B.
C. etc, each class to be of a definite
size. and no provision to be made for
culls. This will tend to economy,
since the smaller sized ties will fall
into the smaller classes and will be
sold at their market value to the roads
which want them. instead of, as large-
ly now, to roads which do not want
them but, having received a certain
proportion f them mingled with those
of the spec fled else, do not feel war-
ranted in rejecting them altogether.
This proposal has been adopted by the
American Engineering and Mainten-
ance of Way Association.
A far greater economy. however,
than can. be hoped for fmm the sdop-
tion of a new tie form .or a comma
elucidation is that nmmleed by the
studies which the Bureau of Forestny
hes directed towards opening new
sources of supply of ties. This it time
to do by melting possible the utiliza-
tion of cheeper end more abImdunt
kinds of timbers in piece of the his!»
mile woods now employed. The com-
monest as well u the best tie meter-
lnl of the put and presentin this coun-
try in white on. which resist: both
veer end decoy excellently. end is con-
priced. and further, as railroad men
know well, is becoming source even
luster than the advancing price would
Indicate. Not only Is it very wasteful
to make ties of white oak. which can
be manufactured into much more val-
uable products if a lower grade wood
will do, but soon, under the present
demand, white oak ties wlll no longer
be obtainable in the required quantity
at any price.
The first step in theI search for sub-
stitutes was to discover how to pre-
vent rapid decoy of softer woods when
laid in the track. Preservutlve treat-
ment has long been in general use
abroad. With proper methods it can
be mudc entirely successful, and im-
pregnation with crcotlote. zinc chlurld,
or otlII r antiseptic substances allows
the Ilse of many woods hitherto passed
over. as well us of unwed wood, sup-
wood. and dead timber. Prescrvutivo
treatment can make. u beech or red
oak or pine tie ontlust u white oak tic.
lint the wearing away of the softer
fibers of these woods under the rail
and around the spike raises n l‘. .w not
of problems. Even with chcnp ”I“-
went practicable, which insures
against the destruction of the tie in
the ground by decay. it is neither eco-
nomical nor safe to equip a road with
such ties unless mechanical devices
can be found which will prevent‘rapid
wear. The chemically treated re-
sist decay, but tlIII softer Woods can
not withstand wear of the rails nor
hold the, spikes under the heavy tref-
llc of American roads.
This is true not only III tics upon
which the rails rest directly, but also
where the old forms of steel plates in-
serted between rail and lie anI used.
indeed, the thin plates with prongs or
spines and flanges hitherto generally
used in the United Stulcs, appear to
hasten ruihcr tbnu retard wear of the
tie. With accompanying screw-spikes.
which hold the rail firmly to the tie.
several forms of plates can be intro
duIch successfully. Wooden lie-plates
can be u: scd, w.hich when worn out. are
easily replaced.
The functions of spikes are, first. to
hold the ties to the rails. and, second.
to prevent the rails from spreudiug.
Nail spikes are still used for this pur-
pose lu this country. in driving a
spike into n white oak tie the stronll
