Kills Lawyer’s Wife
Told that MeNoble was in San
Francsco, the crazzed man went to
ths MeNoble home where he found
the attorney's wife, whom he lh-
terrogated regarding Mrs. Goins
divorce plans. Mrs. MeNoble denied
knowledge of them, whereupon
Goins shot her three times. killins
her almost instantly, as one of her
' children looked on.
Goins then drove madly to Gait,
about 24 miles north of Stockton,
and shot and killed Alexander Ma-
his wife and their daughter.
Mrs. Lutra.
Mrs. Dutra's two smart children,
three and four years old, were the
only witnesses but farm hands
heard the shots and saw Goins

drive northward.
The motive for the Marengo kill-

Kemper’a Letter.
Th* purported communieation follow:
Gentlemen: On a recent inspection of
th* sections of different state highways
upon which there is contemplated a *ee-
ond course surface treatment, mad* over
the majority of the work. I noted the
vresent conditions of the road surtace very
closely.
As Mr. Moseley will recall, when this
proposition of resurfacing was first men-
tioned by him to me and th* matter dis-
cussed briefly. I suggested that a thor-
ough inspection should be mad* and a
practical plan of work and advertisement
be worked out from th* finding* of such
inspection, believing then that there was
possibly some section of th* highways that
would require different treatments and
from information gained by inaportion a
satisfactory and complete set of specifica-
tion* could be written.
I made this inspection in order to gain
first hand information. Relative to the
highway* that received a one-cours* treat
ment last year, I found 74 to 80 per cent
of th* treated surfaces in first class con-
dition and consider exeel lent results have
been obtained from such treatment, in the
features of saving the gravel surfacing,
saving of maintenance, delaying the neces-
sary reconstruction that would have been
inevitable without some sort of treatment
and making travel much more satisfactory.
I find that the condition of the surface is
such that 60 to 75 per cent of th* sur-
face is still not fully matured in. that
there remains unused asphalt in th* sur-
face that during th* coming year will
easily take, up, in my opinion, 15 to 20
per cent more cover material if maintained
with proper attention and will give satis-'
factory service for at least another year
and possibly longer, therefore. Dot needing
any second treatment this year of any
kind except possibly a small amount of
patching and proper maintenance.
I find, in tnr opinion, quite a few that
ar* too full of active bitumen at this time
to suecessfully apply another treatment
of any type until more aggregate has been
worked into it by traffic and ntaintenance.
In fact, I believe in some cases the axist-
ing condition mill cause failure of a sec-
ond application of any type. My deduc-
tion of this is based on a good deal of
experience with bituminous surfaced roads
and elose observaton of the name.
However, with extra care of application
of second course difficulties as stated may
be avoided, but. if so, that does not in my
mind set aside the fact that the treatment
as it now stands on 75 per cent of th*
mileage in all three seetions will give ex-
cellent service for another year, with, a*
I mentioned, proper maintenance.
In view of the facta that I see them
a* stated above, I cannot recommend that
full course second treatment as specified
and bid on be done at this time over the
whole mileage, but that the surface. In
j my opinion, will be in far better condition
a year from sow to receive a second
course treatment of some approved type.

Can't Recommend Work.
I am sorry that this should have gone
to this extent before being able to present
the matter to you in this light, but in-
sistence waa made that the proposition be
rushed and I made thb inspection at my
earliest opportunity even without instruc-
tions on the matter.
The specifications submitted were for
general conditions, but as I mentioned be-
fore, I thought poesibly there were spe-
cial condition* existing which I verified
in my opinion on inspection.
Therefore, gentlemen of the commiasion,
1 cannot recommend in *nr way on the
award 01 this work and respectfully leave
it you. the commission, for action as
you see fit.
Yours very respectfully,
