DE BENEDETTI SAYS CHARGES
AGAINST HIM Arc FALSE
San Mateo Supervisor Declares His
Arrest Was Spite Work of
Political Enemies.

Supervisor Joseph de Benedetti of
San Mateo County who was arrested
at Halfmoon Bay on Thursday by
order of United States Attorney
Woodwork and brought to this city
and charged with having taken out
fraudulent naturalization papers, was
released yesterday on bail. De Bene-
detti is highly indignant over the af-
fair. He says that the arrest was
caused by his political enemies and
is a piece of spite work. He asserts
that his father came to this State in
1855 and took up mining claims here
at that time and to do this he must
naturally have been then a citizen of
this State.
De Benedetti says he took out his
own papers in 1873. He denies that
he was ever indicted by the Grand
Jury, as has been reported in some of
the papers. He has been eighteen
years a school director, eight years a
Postmaster and for the last eight
years a Supervisor. reelection to
which Office he is seeking at the COM
ing election.

TONG PRESIDENT
ON THE STAND
Head of One of Six Com
panies Called to Explain
Chinese Marriage Custom

The Chinese puzzle Of who's the
widow" in the Chew Bing Quota case
now on hearing in Judge Coffey's court
involves some delicate questions. One
is whether an American court will take
cognizance of marriage customs in
China if there is no written law and
another is the acceptance of oral testi-
m0ny on those customs if there is
written law and it is possible to obtain
verified copy thereof.
On account of other engagements in
the court, yesterdays hearing only oc-
cupied little over an hour, but the
most distinguished and most gorgeous
ly arrayed Oriental who has yet ap-
peared in the case was called to the
stand This was Ng Tow Chow, age
fifty-seven, who was summoned from
the Fiowery Kingdom year ago to.
accept the assistant presidency of the
Kong Chow, one of the Six Companies.
The dignitary wore an olive green
blouse, lavender skirt, thin mustache
and scanter imperial and his head was
shiningly shaved back to the very roots
of his queue. He was called for the
sole purpose of explaining the marriage
customs in his district in China, which
is the one that Chew Bing Quota hailed
from. Unfortunately Attorneys Vogel-
sang and Hill were in an argumenta-
tive mood and the witness was only
permitted to say that the marriage
laws were not printed. but are handed
down from dynasty to dynasty at
Peking.
Attorney Hill. who represents j. ].
Cunningham, the administrator, whose
removal is sought by QUOTAS widow in
China, was of the opinion that Ng Tow
Chow should not tell of the traditional
marriage laws, but that the other side
should produce the copy of some ruling
Of Chinese court. Mr.. Vogelsang, at
torney for the petitioners for Cum
ningham's removal, declared that he
and Judge Dibble had read numerous
volumes on the subject and were pre-
pared to prove that there were no
written laws on marriage and, further
more, no lawyers in China and that
Judges there did not necessarily have
TO know the law. This caused Judge
Coffey to remark that there was no
noise in Chinese courts.
Before the tong official was exam
ined, Chew Ming, nephew Of the de-
ceased Quota, was cross questioned by
Mr.. Hill and he stuck to his story that
he witnessed the marriage of Quota
and Low Shee and that Lum Quoia.
the American widow" was bought as
a slave.
The hearing will be resumed this af-
ternoon.

said yesterday that he did not expect

charge of the Office here 1t was
whispered later that close watch was
to be kept on the movements OF
Wright and of one or two others
pending the arrests, which are ex-
pected to follow next week.
Suspicion was first directed toward
Wright by the fact that he seemed to
be living beyond his means and never
to want for money. He married about
a year ago an estimable young woman
and expects to become father at any
time within the next week. He still
persists in declaring his innocence and
stoutly maintains that he has not been
guilty of embezzling Government
money.
Collector Lynch said yesterday that
he had nothing new to report, adding,

into the office and explained that it

ROADS OF THE COUNTY
THEY ARE TO BE REPAIRED BY
 BOARD OF REVENUE.
Committee which Inspected Them Makes Recommendations to Week. ly Meeting-To Fix Rate of
 Taxation next Monday,

At It's regular weekly meeting yes- terday the Board of Revenue of Mont gomery County received reports from its committee which inspected the roads in the southern part of the Coun- ty and made arrangements to improve the roads where it was shown inn provements were needed.
 The meeting was attended by Presi- dent M. B., Houghton, W. D. Brown, w. M. Hudson and Dr. Thomas Dun can. Major S. T. Westcott, Clerk of the Board was detained at his home by illness ana Dr. Duncan served the Board as Clerk.
 The committee raised to inspect cer- tain roads made its report. As the committee consisted of a majority of the members of the Board the adoption of the recommendations was q mere formality. This committee consisted of President Houghton and Messrs. Brown, Barnes and Hudson. The com mittee showed that they had travelled seventy miles and had inspected the Woodley road the Carter Hill road, the Mount Zion road and other roads. The chert on the Woodley road Is in bad condition. It is worn and rocky. There has been moderate success in the ex- pertinent of putting clay on the Mount Zion road. This clay was recommend ed for surfacing.
 It was recommended by the Com mittee that the route of the Carter Hill road be changed from the twenty one mile post to Sandy Creek to the right and beyond the creek and that the County teams be sent there as soon as the rights of way are secured. It was further recommended that grading and surfaclng be done on the worst places in the road beyond Olustee Creek to the County nne.
 All of the recommendations of the Committee were conourred in by the Board
 Overseer W. H. Rives reported that another weeks work would be required to complete the grading of Madison Avenue including the use of twenty teams of MT. Sullivan as provided by resolution of the Board
 On motion of MT. Hudson the twenty
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-05-31

teams of MT. Sullivan will be contin- ued with MT. Rives on Madison Ave nue until the work of grading there is completed. This will be done under the same terms as heretofore author ized by the Board. The promoters of Capitol Heights agree to pay one-sixth of the cost of hiring extra laborers for the teams.
 Joseph Galloway appeared before tho Board and applied for an order for the release of prisoner who had taken an appeal from a Justice court. The mat ter was referred to County Attorney Finley and Clerk westcott who Is hard labor agent for the County.
 By resolution of the Board Road overseer Rives was authorized to pur- chase materials for his road outfit and to approve the bills.
 Tax Collector G. W. Halls filed with the Board a list of errors and insolv- encies to be checked and verified by the Clerk. At next Mondays meeting or the Board, according to law, the Coun- ty rate of taxation will be fixed. The insolvencies reported by the Tax Col lector are very light being less than half of those reported last year
 Rids were submitted by w. H. Vaughan for ~gravelling about four miles on the Woodley road and on the Selma road from Catoma Creek to the County gravel pit. As other bids are to be received no action was taken by the Board.
 Hattie Hiilman. a white woman, was admitted to the County poor house and the Board directed that sS.5O be paid to the Alabama Bryce Insane Hospital at Tuscaloosa for defraying the ex- penses of Lydia Campbell, an indigent woman. of this County who has been discharged as cured.
 The contract for furnishing feed sup niles for the month was awarded to Hobbie and Teague and the Board ad- iourned to meet again next Monday.

'"The Land of the Sky" in Western North Carolina, between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Iron and Unaka ranges of Eastern Tennessee, is at It's lowest point more than two thousand feet above the level of the sea; 1t Is situated in the most favored portion of the temperate zone, trav- ersed by splendid rivers and dotted with beautiful lakes.
 From the moment the traveller en- ters this region until duty forces him to leave 1t, nothing that is unpleasing greets his eye. The charm of this land is real; it's delights an aetualIty.
 Ashevllle is the central city of this favored region; it has several large and fine hotels. and is town of com mercial importance. The season at Asheville is always. its hotels never closed and the visitor is made welcome. At all times we find Asheville a pleas ant spot. full of life, of color and of enjoyment. rich with possibilities. for health and recreation. The drives around Asheyille are unexcelled for the lovely views they afford. Horseback riding is fin great favor and bicycling and automobiling are popular.
 In arranging a summer trip, how ever, the Sapphire country should not be overlooked; 1t Is one of the most delightful in all this vast area of hill and dale. field and forest. taking in Lake Toxaway. Fairfield and Sapphire. The physical contour of this region is strikingIy similar to the English lake district, but is as Q whole grander In every way.
