gion the early American history, that
is. Otherwise he could hardly, for in
stance, have made SO frequent mention
of the geographical name Williams
without giving some account of Old Bill
Williams himself; nor would he have
followed Major Powell into one very
strange error.
In his historical survey, he says, OH
page 18, "In 1856, party of several
men, led by one Ashley, made an at
tempt to come through the canyon, and
they were soon wrecked, and all but
Ashley and one companion drowned"
His authority is Major Powell, to whom
he dedicates his book, and whose ignor-
ance Gin 1922 in this matter has often
been wondered at. The Ashley who at
tempted to descend Green or Colorado
river was General William H. Ashley of
ST.. Louis, who was lieutenant-governor
of Missouri from 1920 to 1924, member
of congress and a very conspicuous man
in his time. 1t was in 1926 that he made
this venture, not 1855, and none of his
men were lost, if his narrative has been
correctly transmitted.
One thing which strikes the reader is
the number of features of the. canyon
region which the author says he has
himself named. In this regard, as in
the matter of personal narration, the
contrast with somewhat similar work,
Colonel Chittenden's yellowstone Ma
tional Park, is very marked. It is not

1t is good sized book, with many pho
tographic illustrations, as well of the
Grand Canyon as Of the author, on ex-
cellent paper. The pictures of the
canyon are handsome and valuable, but
there should have been map, also an
index, in a work of this sort. Books of
any pretensions are not complete nova

deals sufficiently with the history, geol

Though Mr.. James spells caiion, can

does otherwise with Zu1i, for instance,

way to spell Santa Fe, Santa Fe, thus

Go to Prison To-day.

Trenton, Jan 30. Walter G. Meal
lister, William A. Death, Andrew J.
Campbell and George J. Kerr, who
were sentenced yesterday at Paterson
for the murder of Jennie Bosschieter,
will arrive here to-day, probably this
morning, and will be taken immedi-
ately to the State Prison, from which
they will emerge, if they live, all old
men.
The sentence of McAllister, Camp
pell and Death, which was thirty
years, according to the time allow
ance for good behavior according to
the laws now in force, will be dimin-
ished by 1862 days. This, as may be
seen, will cut down the sentence of
each considerably. Then, of course,
there is the probability of pardon.
In Kerr's case, the sentence of fif-
teen years will be reduced by 1859
days for good behavior. These figures
We're obtained through the'courtesy of
the State Prison officials last night.

GOVERNOR SIGNS THE BILL.
The Lines in Delaware Bay are
now Thoroughly Established
hU Inm

Trenton, Jan. 24.-The first bill of
the session passed yesterday, and was
signed by the Governor and is now a
law. For years it has been generally
supposed that the Delaware Bay
geographically run up as far as Reedy
Island.
Recently the Oyster Commission
caused the arrest of three persons
longing for plants north of Stoe
Creek and the defendants were placed
IN Salem Jail without bail. They
procured counsel in the person of
former Prosecutor John Acton.
Mr.. Acton, in true counsel fashion,
Immediately interested himself in
his clients and after brushing the
dust from the records of the coast
survey reports, ascertained that in
1885 the Governors and Attorney
Generals of Delaware and New Jer-
sey, located the mouth of the Dela-
ware River at a line drawn from
Bombay Hook, Delaware, to Cohan-
sey Light House, New Jersey.
In all the oyster laws, the word
Delaware River was never mentioned
in the several acts passed by the
State. Only the words Delaware
Bay and Maurice River Cove being
used. The Oyster Commission i'm
mediately saw the necessity of
amending the oyster law by inserting
the word Delaware River. OF course
the law passed yesterday and signed
by the Governor will not enable the
Commission to prosecute in the pres
ent case, but will aid them to prevent
/ future violations, as at least one
third of the seed grounds in the Del
aware Bay is north of the Cohansey
! Light House.
The Oyster Commission is to be
congratulated in passing this act, for
in the absence of such law scores of
boats would at an early date take
advantage of the conditions and be in
the Delaware River dredging for
these plants, but with the present act
the Commission can now legally pro-
tect this great natural oyster bottom.

THEY GET 105 YEARS OF
STATE PRISON LIFE.
That's the Price of the Paterson
GirPs Murder as Pronounced
Yesterday,

Paterson, Jan. $3.50 far as he
could Justice Jonathan Dixon, sitting
IN the Court of Oyer and Terminer
here this morning, redeemed the fail
ure OF the Jersey justice in the Boss
chieter murder case. With shaking
voice, his face hardly under control
and pale beyond its wonted whiteness,
he told Walter McAllister, Andrew
j. Campbell, William A. Death, as
they covered before him, that he
proposed ''to destroy their lives, to
obliterate every bright prospect that
they might have had of becoming
good and useful citizens. .
From the first words of the Judge,
who had yesterday so plainly ex-
pressed his resentment at the part he
would be called upon to play, there
was not the slightest ray of hope of
clemency for the wretched men who
shrank at every sentence as at blow.
Ii Justice Dixon had been passing
sentence of death he could not have
been more memorable or more moved.
He imposed the limit in every case.

Prison land it should have been hang

Kerr, fifteen years, and his crime was
worse than that of the others, the

CLINE WALKS OVER TO JAIL.
Burr Cline Who Gave Officer the
Slip Gives Himself up Mon
day Afternoon.

. Burr Cline, the young man who oc-
cupied the attention of the newspapers
to some extent, is in Jail serving the
ten days sentence imposed upon him
by Mayor Hampton.
Cline is young man who took a
good big jag with him to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Conover, on Grove
street, Sunday afternoon, and scat
tered Haviland china all over the cot
tage. He was afterwards arrested and
sentence imposed
When he was being taken over to
Jail he gave the officer the slip and
disappeared.
When Cline found himself free he
discovered that he had made fool of
himself, and didn't know just how
to handle his freedom. He knew he
couldn't stay around this burg a great
while without being caught and it
wasn't hardly worth while to give up
his residence here to escape ten
days imprisonment
Cline finally came to the conclusion
that he had better go over on the hill
and take free board He took good
dinner and after finishing up his des-
sert, wended his way over to the
county prison and surrendered him
self to the Sheriff.
Mayor Hampton sent over the COM
mittment and Burr was given quiet
quarters in the steel building, and
the incident is closed.

BRIDGETON N j. THURSDAY JANUARY 81. 1907.
PRESIDENT SENDS
IN NAME OF GRAHAM.
His appointment as Postmaster
Has Been Sent to the United
States Senate.


Saturday, President Mckinley sent
to the United States Senate a batch
of appointments of New Jersey Post
masters. Among the list was the
name of Henry Graham, as Postmas-
ter of Bridgeton.
There was no surprise, as the ap-
polntment of Mr.. Graham had been
some days since recommended to the
President, and he was the only can
didate from the city for the position.
In the ordinary course of events, the
Senate in Executive session this
week, will confirm the appointment
and the Post Office authorities will
issue the Commission to Mr.. Graham.
The bond will then be filed and ap-
proved, and then the office will be
transferred from the present Acting
Postmaster Howard S. CARL, to the
fortunate appointee.
The appointment is for four years,
and Mr.. Graham's term will expire
in February 1905, little more than
month previous to the time when
President McKinley's successor will
be inaugurated, so that the present
administration will again appoint a
Postmaster for Bridgeton for another
four years. This makes it certain
that the Post Office here will have a
Republican official for at least eight
years.
Mr.. Graham has announced his in
tention of appointing Frank H.
Miller as his Chief Clerk or Deputy
Postmaster, and that gentleman will
succeed Richard Brockson, the pres
ent incumbent, when Mr. Graham
assumes charge of the office. This
appointment of Mr.. Miller will be en-
tirely satisfactory to the community
and patrons of the office. Mr. Miller
is one of the most loyal and active
Republicans of Cumberland county.
Years ago he was one of the earnest
party workers in Hopewell township,
ui1ss--wiIen he came to Bridgeton, he
continued his activity in a partisan
way.
During the past four years Mr..
Miller has been Deputy Collector OF
the Port, for Bridgeton, and has beer
a most popular, faithful and compe
tent official. His personal friends
congratulate him upon his further
advancement. The salary is $1,000,
having recently been raised from 5000.
All the other appointments in the
Post Office are under civil service, anG
it is probable that there will be nC
changes in the present force, if the in
cumbents are capable of the work un
der the new administration.
There are many reforms that can bt
inaugurated in the office which viii
be of advantage to the service ant
pleasing to the patrons. Many com
plants have been made concerning
the distribution of the mail, and tn,
promptness in getting mail forwarded
There has been a general demand fol
the office to be opened earlier in the
morning.

This morning, about five O'Clock.

This morning, about five o'clock,
he was awakened with serious at
tack and stimulants, as usual, were
served him. They did not seem to
give him relief as they always had,
and physician was sent for. All
that possibly could be done for him
was accomplished, but the sufferer
gradually sank and soon died.
In the death Of Lippincott, Bridge
ton loses one of it's unique characters.
Most everybody will remember him.
Always clad in blue shirt, he seldom
wore a coat and never an overcoat.
One leg was considerably shorter
than the other, and necessitated the
use of cane. He didn't look sew
enty, and all his life has been a
strong, vigorous man.
Mr.. Lippincott was not an edu-
Gated man, but he had a great fund
of common sense, and usually took a
humorous view of everything. At
times he prepared matter for the
originality in his compositions.
| He was never much for great pub
lie improvements, the trolley road,
being the exception, as he was an
advocate of that enterprise from the
first. Some years ago, when an elah-
crate sewer proposition was before
Council, he pitched into the scheme
vigorously, and created good deal
of sentiment against it,.
For years Lippincott had consid-
erable stove business on North Laurel
street, but some years ago gave it up,
and moved down on South Laurel
street where he conducted a modest
fish stand
Mr.. Lippincott was a man of
thrifty habits, and owned some seven
or eight properties here One daugh-
ter, Annie, survives him. She lives
in Philadelphia.

TO INVESTIGATE
TAXATION IN LANDIS.
State Board viii Hold IL Meeting
Over in Vineland on Monday
Next.

The State Board of Taxation will
meet at Vineland next Monday to
make am alleged extremely necessary
Investigation into the affairs said to
surround the tax assessments of Lam
dis township, Cumberland county.
The first inkling of trouble down
there came to the State Board at its
meeting yesterday, and it will not be
surprising if the inquiry results in
some serious charges being made
against the taxing officials.
The Board was considering an APP
peal of t. Fl. Winter, who claimed
that his assessment of $40, 900 was
entirely too high, aud Assessor How
ard Dalbey was on-the stand.
Dalbey stated that the assessment on
Mr.. Winter was raised this year on
the authority of Attorney Newcombe,
the counsel of the Board, and that
there was a personal feud between
the attorney and the appellant. Fur
ther than this, it was alleged that
there was said to be some agreement
between the attorney and another
official as to the assessment, which
would result to their mutual advan-
tage
Major Lentz when he heard this
testimony grew very angry, and said
that an investigation was of the ut
most Importance.

IN FAVOR OF HALE.
Decision by Federal Jury Pleases
Black Hills Horsemcn.

The horscmen of the Black Hills are
feeling good over the decision of the
grand jury iii the ease of the United
States VS.. John II. Hale Vt Tilford. Hale
was sued for over $1,000 by the govern
mcnt for the reason that, it was alleged,
Hale was unable to fill n certain con-
tract to furnish seventy head of horses.
The purchasing agent took the matter
out of Hnle's hands and completed the
contract by buying horses i'll the Chicago
market. paying the amount sued for
above the contract price. Judge Carr
land. presiding. instructed the jury to
bring IL verdict i'll favor of Hale. 1t is
considered a direct victory for the horse
~raisers of the western range. Army Of
ticers have been favorable to the use of
the western horse for cavalry purposes
until recently. The purchasing agent at
Fort Meade asserts that the Thirteenth
cavalry, which has been mounted this
summer oil Black Hills range horses. is
the hest mounted in the service. The an-
iilals are free from disease, especially
as to their loofs. and their lung capacity
is much stronger that the eastern horse.
