A State Monument lnauqu-
rated by Salem Lodge Of
Odd Fellows TO Honor the
Memory Of a WOfthinq
Brother.
The Monument Should be Erected
Here.

At a regular weekly meeting of
Salem Lodge No So I. o. o. F. held in
the city of Winston-Salem this week
movement was started for the erection
of monument to the memory of the
late Mr.. Nathaniel jacob, father of the
Odd Fellows Orphans Home at Colds

Without dissenting vote a reso-
luton was passed by the lodge to con-
tribute a sum. of money toward the
erection of the memorial. Mr.. jacob
died at his home in Wilmington last
week, the burial being last Wednes-
day. He was not only the father of
the Orphans Home, one of the great
est institutions of it's kind in the South,
but was most enthusiastic Odd Eel
low and one of the most prominent
business men of the State.
The splendid work of the ins stitution
at Goldsboro is well known to all the
least bit familiar with Odd Fellowship
in North Carolina. The Homo has
grown from year to year and many
homeless and friendless children have
deem taken in, cared for and equipped
for life's service. The records made by
the children from the institution have
been enviable ones.
Several members of the Salem lodge
made enthusiastic speeches in which
they eulogized the life and character OF
the father Of the Home.
The following named were appoint
ed as q committee to draft suitable
resolutions regarding the action of the
lodge and forward copies OF them to
| the press of the State: Messrs. Eugene
P. Albea, W. e. Beck, w. F.. Keith,
the latter being the first ineividual
contributor to the monument fund.
| The mo vement for this monument is
eminentIy proper and will culmi nate
speedily in success; and the place 70,
1 the monument to be erected is on the
beau tifuIca pus of the Home, SO dea1
to2the good mans heart, here in Colds
boro, where the children who are
THEREIN cared for, as the generations
come and go, may look upon it daily
and have the lesson of his noble life
ever before them to inspire them tt
4 emulation of his virtues -.
| Yes, this is the place for the 3monu

Washington, Nov. 16.-Another star
was added to the American flag this
morning, when President Roosevelt
signed the proclamation admitting Ok

According to promise, Secretary Loeb
Immediately sent telegram upon the
signature of the document to the gov

nouncing the fact and the exact mo-
ment of signature. The people Of the
new State had made preparations In
advance to celebrate the occasion.
The proclamation itself was sent by
special messenger to the Department of
State. where it was placed among the
archives of the United States govern
ment. Notwithstanding its import
ance, it is by no means an imposing
document in appearance, being writ

double sheet of plain white paper,
stamped with the great seal of the
United States.
Though Ok1ahoma's sovereignty as

subject is contained in an act of Con-

Inference of Policy Is That No Appre-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-President
R,ose-et has no idea Of leaving Admiral
Evars' fleet in the Pacific, but intends
to order its return within ninety days OF
it's arrival on the California coast.
One important conclusion is to be
drawn from this newly established fact
that the fleet is to return as soon as the
great ships can be cleaned up, replenish
their supplies of coal and provisions
and otherwise be made completely ready
for the 1900 miles return cruise.
The conclusion is that the executive
feels absolutely no apprehension respect
ing the possibilities of war with Japan.
1t is learned from reliable government
agents, after investigation OF these re-
ports, that Japan Is not in the marker
for large purchases of war materials, put
on the contrary appears to be diligently

BEST MUCH
MARRIED MAN
EXAMINATION SHOWS HE HAS
THREE WIVES
Death of First Wife May Make Last
Marriage LeaaI--Actor' Held to
Answer to Superior
Court

Special to The Herald
SANTA ANA, oct. 24.-George S. Best,
charged with bigamy by his wife. Mrs.
Anita Best, did not entirely disclose his
band today in preliminary examination.
After testimony introduced by the
prosecution the defense rested, thus
disappointing many who had gathered
in the belief that the defendant would
go on the stand and tell at least por-
tion of his story
However, the examination showed
Best to have been a thrice married man,
and while this does not go into the rec
ords of examination 1T was put before
the court by Attorney Gesner VIII
liams of Los Angeles.
Hutton and Williams of Los Angeles
and Richard Melrose OF Anaheim have
been retained by Cecile Fleming to pro-
tect her good name.
Williams made a strong plea for
postponement of the examination, and
in presenting the argument, in spite of
repeated objections from the district
attorney, got before the court the
statement that at the time Best was
married to the complainant he had an
other wife living.
Her maiden name was Miss Bertha
Julia Nilsson and Best is alleged to
have married her at Butte. Mont, in
May, 1900. She died last October.
This is the only indication given of the
probable defense. If the marriage at
Butte is proved 1t will make the mar
riage at Salt Lake on December FL,
1907, to Anna Best illegal and that to
Miss Fleming here on October legal.
While on the witness stand Anita
Best acknowledged she knew of Best's
marriage to Nilsson;, that she accom-
panied him to Butte in 1905 for the
purpose of securing a divorce; that she
had no personal knowledge of the di-
vorce being granted, but was told by
Best that 1t was granted December IA.
1905, and their marriage followed.
Mrs S. l.. Loring, mother of Anita,
testified that the two had been living
together and were recognized among
friends as husband and wife.
Witness said she had received GER
tifcate of their marriage with great
deal of joy. Attorney Williams asked
why she was elated and then started
to tell why, intimating that complain
ant and defendant had lived, together
as man and wife for some time before
they were married
The district attorney interposed an
objection before Williams completed
his remarks, and the same was sus-
tained County Clerk Williams and
Recorder Peters were introduced as
witnesses to prove the marriage here
to Miss Fleming The prosecution
rested.
The defendant was held to answer
to the superior court with bonds fixed
at $4,000. q. W. Fleming and daughter
were present from Los Angeles.

ROME, Oct. A.--At 6 o'clock this even

earthquake ruins. 1t is now estimated
that the deaths will surpass 500, but 1t is
impossible to get accurate information on
this subject. as many villages are still
cut off by the floods ana the destruction
of roads and telegraph lines, and no word
from them can be had.
ROME, Oct. 24-The details received
here during the day regarding the earth
quake in Calabria yesterday in every way
tend to show that the damage done was
more extensive than at first estimated.
To add to the desolation caused by the
earthquake. 1t was raining in torrents
yesterday. which greatly increased the
suffering among the homeless people.
Half of the houses at Feruzzamo and
Brancaltone collapsed and many persons
were buried in the ruins. and at Sipopoll
and Stilla Rio more lives are said to have
been lost.
Panic prevails everywhere. Half the
houses of the village of Geracere, are In
ruins, and similar conditions prevail in q
pumber Of other points in Calabria.
During the confusion caused by. the first
earthquake the prisoners in the jail at
Catazaro mutinied and were only sub
prisoners were particularly alarmed,
screaming shouting and beating the
doors until the whole place was in a ter
rible uproar. The prison officials did
everything possible to calm the inmates,
but they broke out afresh at each shock
The shocks continue, but they are
slight. The people are still in con-
dition of apprehension, which is increased
by each tremor In spite of the rain,
they absolutely refuse to remain under
any cover. They have made their beds
in the open. Mattresses have been spread
about the squares and the fields sur
rounding the stricken villages and the
people are covering themselves and their
children as best they may.
Many thousands will pass the night in
this manner. The only buildings that the
frightened people will consent to use are
the churches and even there they will
not stay long. Sacred relics have been
exposed in the cathedral of Catanzaro
and this has served in a measure to calm
the populace.
No bodies had been recovered from the
ruins until o'clock this evening. Al
