WHERE WAS LINCOLN BFRN.

According to promise, I give a brief
statement about the birth place OF
Abraham Lincoln, hoping that future
investigation will be made.
There has been much speculation
and more exaggeration as to the birth
place of Abraham Lincoln than any
other great man in lie annals OF
history. Barnes, in the history o. the
United States, says on p 2l5 in
foot note, :.he was born in Kentucky,
February 12:h, 1909" He also says
"Abraham Lincoln's father was unable
to read or write" This sounds very
much like fiction to those who know
the real facts as to his native heath
and the intellectual acquiremen's Of
his father.
From the best evidence obtained
here Abraham Enloe was the father
of Abraham Lincoln and lived in Hey
wood County, N. c., at the time Of
Lincoln's birth; but this part of Hey
wood has since been cut off 10 Swain
County.
Abraham Enloe lived on Ocona
Lufta river now in Swain County and
acquired considerable property, con-
sisting of slaves and large body of
land in the fertile valley of Ocora
Lufta. Mr.. Abraham Enloe was in.
telllgent and educated for his day.
He was tall and dark Completed,
with rough features, and was the
father of tive sons, all OF whom bear
the same prominent characteristic
physiognomy.
The mother of Abraham Lincoln
was Nancy Hanks, naive Of North
Caro- in, and was employed by Abra-
ham Eploe a. domestic. Mrs. Abra-
ham Enoe III became Jealous Of her
domest'c girl which resulted in the
removal o. Mis- Nanci Hanks to
Mr.. Mooay's on Jo.lathau's Creek in
Haywood County, d stance Of about
Is miles, where she remained until the
birth of son, which she named after
his father, Abraham Enloe. The re-.
moval of Miss Nancy failed to recon-
cile Mrs. En'oe. Their domestic
troubles grew from bad to worse
until Abraham Eulce employed man
to carry Miss Nancy and her babe
across the line inso Tennessee where
she lived with one Of his relatives
until she married Thomos Lincoln.
Thus the name of Lincoln was en-
grated to the already sir name of
Abraham, which eve: followed him
to the Presidential seat Westly NJ.
Enloe is now the only living son of
Abraham Enloe and lives in Swain
County, near the old home>tead and
claims to be the half brother of Abra-
ham Lincol and they are as much
alike as twin brothers. He is an intel
ligent, prosperous, good citizen.
Thomas Lincoln, the step-father of
Abraham Lincoln, was distiller in
East Tennessee Valley in c!ose pro1-
unity to the Kentucky line, and had
some thrilling experiences in shipping
the products Of his industry. There
is an abundance Of proof all support
ing these statement.
publish this that an investigation
may be made and the true history be
brought 10 light.

THE RAILROADS NEW SIGN
1t Angered the Passenger
Ticket Agents, Who Are
Ready for War.
the Only Office for Sale
of Tickets.

"Only City ticket-ofice OF Sunset Shasta
and Ogden routes"
Whatever they may meant was
hoisted in letters five feet high above the
Southern Pacific passenger ticket-office
under the Grand Hotel yesterday.
The Southern Pacific people alleged that
its meaning was so plain there could be no
possible doubt aboutit. There was only one
Office where tickets might be bought to
Shasta, Ogden or over the Sunset route !;
and that was all the sign ciaimed-from
the railroad point of view.
But what does it mean? the agents of
other companies asked one another before
rushing to their respective offices and
teIegraphing to head offices in the East
and in the West that the friendly Southern
Pacific had shut them out-publicly as
well as privately.
These agents declared they saw in the
tremendous sign-letters five feet high
that it was intended to mislead the gen.
eral public. "Only City ticket-office of
Sunset Shasta and Ogden routes" meant,
according to their Interpretation, the one
exclusive place in all San Francisco where
traveller could buy his ticket if he were
about to travel beyond California, either
by Ogden or Shasta or the Southern routes.
They said, further, that the route via the
Union Pacific, etc., has been Familiarity
called the Ogden route, and the Northern
Pacific or Great Northern trips, when
taken all rail from San Francisco, the
Shasta route.
General Passenger Agent Goodman ex-
planned that the sign had been displayed
for no other reason than to serve as guide
to people who were frequently bewildered
by the number of ticket-offices, and also as
help to passengers who wish to dispose
of return halves of round-trip tickets. This
means that the railroad company has gone
into a determined fight against the scalp
ers. Anyway, the Western and Eastern
railway agents were angry, and some of
them asserted that they would combine
against the Southern Pacific, even if asso-
citation rules were broken twice over, and
start conflict which might end in a gen.
eral disruption of passenger-rate compacts.

THE FATHER NOT ASKED.
Marriage of Girl Not of Legal Age
Under Circumstances That
Were Peculiar.

Matron Baker of the Christion Union
Mission brought to the Society tor the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children yester-
day sixteen-year-old girl named Minnie
Ferguson, who ran away from that institu-
ton recently when given an opportunity
to go to work for a lady on probation, and
who has since got married.
The girl when sent to the lady pretended
she had fits. and thus made herself unde-
sirable. She was given note of explana-
ton to the matron of the mission, but
never returned.
Minnie says her sister sent her to San
Jose, and there she met and married j. I.
Smith. He and she represented to Secre-
tary McComb that the consent OF the girls
mother had been obtained, but not that of
the father, and that they were duly mar
ried by Rev. Mr.. Wilson of the South
Methodist church, at the home of Smith s
parents, 315 South First street, in that
city, after providing themselves with a
license. The girls mother is Mrs. Tur-
ner, living at jacksonville.
Smith and his wife stopped at lib Fourth
street Thursday night. and were intending
to return to San Jose to-day, but the girl
was taken to the City Prison until he could
produce his marriage license and the fail
ure to obtain the fathers consent is salts
factorily explained, the girls age being
under the statutory limit.

REDUCING FREIGHT RATES,
The Railway Company Putting
on ArmOr for the
Conflict.
Railroad Commissioners VIII Be
Met With Heavy Testimony
Upon Tariffs.

The next session of the Railroad Com
missioners, to be held Wednesday in this
City, already gives promise of being
most interesting and important one for the
people of California.
There will be battle in which the rail-
road giants will appear. Stacks of sta
tistics and documents and piles of volumes
will be introduced as freight tariffs and
tabulated statements, and on them the
fight is TO be made. The Southern Pacific
Company will have its own share of such
documentary evidence, for the heads of the
freight department have been working in
cessantlv preparing for the railroad S state
ment. This, it was learned yesterday, will
be in the nature of defense against any
general reduction of freight rates through
out California. The Southern Pacific OFF,
Gals would not say what they were doing
in this direction, explaining that 1t would
be an act of discourtesy to the Railroad
Commissioners to divulge report or COM
munication intended for them and not yet
actually received by the commission.
One of those officials remarked that they
had not been idle in view of the fact that
an effort was to be made to reduce freight
rates. They will present extracts from the
company's annual report to show that
1relSlLlnR III CdtllOTUld IS HOb 81 pIOnCduic
as to allow reduction of % per cent in
rates. Taxes, running expenses, expendi-
lures for constant repairs and better
ments" or necessary alterations in the
road will all cut figure in the argument
against reduction. There will be figures
and still more figures until the Railroad
Commissioners in the debate will ask
where they are.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Stanton has been preparing surprise for
this coming meeting. With an assistant
he has been working in his office night
after night until early morning going over
local freight rates and estimating compare
tive charges. While Commissioner La Rue
will move for reduction of 10 to 15 per
cent in certain parts OF the State, DR..
Stanton's friends claim he will go the
Sacramento member one better and pro-
pose that a general reduction of freight
rates throughout the State from Is to %
per cent at least be made. In the mean
time the Commissioners will not state pre-
csely what they intend TO do.

A P00LR0OM VICTORY.
Superior Judge Wallace Sets Aside the
Decision Recently Given by
Judge Low.

Judge Wallace has reversed the decision
that Judge Low gave in the Police Court
against the poolrooms.
This action is in the case of Isadore Mes
senger, who was charged with violation of
the City ordinance by accepting wager in
a Leidesdorff-street poolroom. Messenger
was convicted in Judge Lows court, and
an appeal was taken for the purpose of
testing the ordinance.
Judge Wallace in setting aside the con-
viction declared that the ordinance had
not been violated, and that it is not sufIi-
Gent for the object for which it was in
tended.
eff the people want to close the pool
rooms, said the Judge. ''they will have to
do 1t by passing an ordinance prohibiting
the commission business"
In the argument of the case W. w.
Foote, for the appellant, held that the bet
was actually made at the track, as the dol
lar wagered by Officer Sullivan was taken
to the racetrack and played there. He
claimed that the firm of Goldtree & Co.,
by whom Messenger was employed, was a
common carrier and took the money to
the track and charged commission
Ex-Judge Levy, for the people, argued
that the laying of the wager was in open
violation of the municipal ordinance
which prohibits betting on a horse race
except within the Enclosure in which the
contest takes place.

ASSAULT TO MURDER.
Paul GeIimas Accuses Charles Brown OF
Stabbing Him.


Charles Brown is confined in the City
Prison to answer to a charge of assault to
murder, preferred by Paul Napoleon Cell
mas, a barkeeper employed at AZ Turk
street.
Gelimas states that at 1915 A. NJ. Thurs
dav he was walking along Mason street to
his work when he met Brown and COM
panion. Brown ran against him in pre-
tended accident, then drew knife. saying
Now I'll fix you" and plunged it into the
barkeeper. Gelimas sustained a flesh
wound four inches long, situated in the
right groin The motive for Browns at
tack is said to have been desire for
revenge, because Gelimas once elected him
from a saloon.
Brown states that he was not on Mason
street at the time mentioned and knows
nothing of the case. No charge has yet
been lodged against him, his name being
still upon the small book.
