Mr.. BURR'S SAN DIEGO CHAT
Affldavits Made Asserting That He Was
Correctly Quoted u +
The sheriff Shown the Dispatch and He Ex-
presses Himself Freely, Claiming That
He Was Hlsrepresented

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 23.-The Union, Of
this city, on Friday morning published an
interview with Sheriff Burr of Los An
geles, having Mayne in charge, in which
Burr declared his belief in Mayne's inno-
cence and predicted that startling develop
ments would occur in Los Angeles within a
few days.
He gave as his belief that an effort
would be made to get Elsie Shipton away
from the Wrghts, and then the girl would
make an affidavit similar that of her sister
Della, completely exonerating Mayne.
Sheriff Burr, after returning to Los An
geles, denied that he made such a state
ment.
Today affdavits were made public
signed by Ira e. Bennett, city editor of the
Union, and W. II. Porterfield, city editor
of the Sun. The first declares the original
interviews to be true in every detail, and
the second recites that the Sun man in
terviewed Burr and that the sheriff sub
stantiated the statements credited to him
and reiterated thsm.

said:

cerned, do not care what it says of or

saying anything on that trip that would

Mayne's condition was such that il would
not be possible for him to talk to the
prisoner. Az for the city sditsr Of the
Sun, never met him TO my knowledge.
During all the time that MAyne was at San
Diego and on the way there and back he
was not out of the presence of myself or
Deputy Sheriff Martin Aguirrs for FIVE
seconds save when he was in
the grand jury room. He was not in the
charge of Mr.. Copeland's clerk at any
time, nor did he have an hours interview
with his wife at her house. If had made

THREE CENTS FOR A SHAVE.
A Barber Who Says He Is Well Paid

A Barber Who Says He Is Well Paid
at That Price.
A barber shop has just been opened in
Hester street, Just west of the Bowery,
where one can get shaved for 3 cents and
have his hair cut for cents, says the New
York Sun. The shop has only been open
a few days, but already it has gobbled up
much of the business in the neighbOrhoOd-
and there is CONSERVATION among the other
BARRIERS there. The latter only charge 8
cents for a shave and 10 cents for a hair
cut. but a reduction Of cents means much
in a lodging house district
When a reporter called at the new shop
the other day the proprietor was scraping
away at a customer in the one BARRIERS chair,
while off in a corner his assistant was
lathcring another customer, who sat in an
ordinary kitchen chair and kept continu-
ally gToaning. The cause Of the customers
misery was the back OF the chair, which
was very sharp where the back OF the mans
neck rested. A half-dozen other custom
ers were awaiting their turns.
The BARRIERS execution was wonderful.
No bay rum and no powder went with the
Scent shave. As the barber finished of
each one the customer would jump up,
grab his hat, and get out. In just twenty
minutes the barberr and his assistant had
shaved seven men and 81 cents had been
earned. Each customer paid his cents
before getting into the chair. No one
spent more than the regular price. al
though alluring signs about the walls an
nounced that hay rum could be had for
cent extra.
II shave so many customers" said the
barber. land shave SO quickly that 1t pays
me to do it cheaply. Then have little
expense outside of rent. The soap does not
cost much. and the fact of the matter is that
the cents pays for my actual labor. and
considering the amount of work l do on
each customer that is liberal payment"
The proprietor expressed no fear of the
boycott which the other BARRIERS in the
neighborhood have threatened to put upon
him.

london. Sept. 5.-w T. bavIs, OF PIym-
steamer Gallia for Boston, succeeded in
accomplishing a mission confidcd to him
by the Pilgrim Society, OF Plymouth, dur
ing brief visit. which has awakened
considerable interest among historically
inclined Englishmen. who, ii appears, lave
something to learn of their own country
through their American cousins.
Some time ago the Plymouth Pilgrim So
ciety determined to permanently mark the
spot where the movement that eliminated
in the voyage of the Mayflower was or
ganized on English soil. and a handsome
bronze tablet, measuring "a by 30 inches,
was made, bearing the following inscrip
tion:
This tablet is erected by the Pilgrim So
ciety OF Plymouth, Mass, United States
of America, TO mark the site OF the ancient
manor house where lived william Brews-
ter from I5Ss to 1908, and where in 1906,
he organized the Pilgrim Church. OF which
he became ruling elder. and with which lie
went In 1908 to Amsterdam. In 1908 90

Mr.. Davis brought this tablet 10 Engla nd
few weeks ago, and st once set about de-
iermining the proper spot for erecting IL.
Nothing whatever remained of Scrooby
manor house, although close to its site a
substantial farmhouse was located. In the
village or ScroOby, nearby, there is a church.
upon which the Earl OF Crewe, son of the
late Lord Houghton. thought the tablet
could be placed to best advantage.
Mr.. Davis, however. concluded that
the church was erected considerably
later than any date mentioned on The tab
let, and for the cake of historical accuracy
he decided to attach the plate to- the heavy
masonry wall of the farm hOure, which is
at present occupied by David Chilito.
From Investigations. which he made
in the neighborhood. Nr. Davis is con-
fident that when William Brewster lived
at Scrooby, the Manor house was the only
building there, and that the congregation
which he assembled there in 1906, was
composed OF persons living at Austerfield
and Bawtry Other conclusive evidence
of this he found by whiting the church
yards of those two places and noting that
the grave stones bore names peculiar to
New England Plymouth families. He
was also led Ia. conclude that the office
of postman. which was held by Brewster.
and his father before him, did not relate
to letters and communications, as there
was no settlement at hlnd, but rather 10

and changes of hors es .jscrooby being on
