s2s, 600 Burned In Stage Coach.

Los Angeles, CAL, May 16.--A
story has reached here of the acoi.
dental burning of stage coach in
Death Valley, near Ash Meadows,
Sunday, in which $4,000 in bank
bills and $4,000 in. registered mail
were consumed.
The stage is supposed to have
caught fire from a cigar which the
driver, Ed Love, was smoking. Love
reached Greenwater Sunday night
and related the story. The money
was consigned to the Greenwater
bank.

articles are made. But the slickest
duck of the whole gang and the one
whose rascality is less protected and
covered up for the longest period
undetected is the unsorupulous fruit
tree agent.
The farmer who has been caught
as victim of common cheap ped
dler will get over this spell about as
quick as he would an ordinary bad
cold or can get in contact with q
bright ncighbor. But if some of our
brighter class of farmers have caught
a case of fruit tree agent malady
from an unscrupulous agent they are
in it for siege of from three to ten
years before they can recover. We
have before us positive evidence to
establish the fact that some of our
best farmers have bought and paid
for (supposed to be and some few
were) best varieties OF apples and
other fruit trees. AND after plant
ing them in their best soil and culti-
vating some OF them for ten years
and all the while dreaming over the
prospects of the luscious fruits
shown to them in the picture book
by the fruit tree agent when they
bought, 10 and behold the the con-
tiding farmer, who has labored for
ten years in good faith, reaches out
and gathers little Seeding apple,
not larger than a hickory nut, that
tastes like the bark of the tree. One
farmer, who bought only one '"ex-
tremely rare cherry tree" at high
price, is now paying the penalty for
his folly by seeing fine crop of
barren chestnut burrs grow on the
tree where the fine "rare cherries'
ought to grow.
The remedy for this is to get to-
gether in your organizations, find
out just what you want and make
your orders direct from reliable
nurserymen at much less cost. Good,
reliable nurserymen are 20 be found
nowadays all over the country that
you run no risk in dealing with di-
rect, who cannot afford to guarantee
trees that pass through the hands of
these irresponsible agents, who are
known to grow large stocks of seed
lings of their own to mix in among
good trees from reliable nurseries.

The reason why we don't have
more to say about growing crops is
because farmers are ahead on the

NEWARK WOMEN HEAR
ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTE

A fair-sizcd representation OF Newark
women interested in the further progress
of women attended the mass meeting In
Cooper Union last night. when Mrs. Cob
den Sanderson, the noted English suf-
f~ragette. told of the part she has taken to
bring about the emancipation of women
and what she still hopes TO accomplish.
Mrs. Sanderson's only expressed regret
WIS that she did not enter this field OF
work earlier in life. She told how she was
drawn into the work by the working
women of Great Britain and predicted that
the movement here will lave no real
vitality until the club women and suffrage
societies identify themselves with the
wage-earning class.
Her advice to the American was
to get over her sensitiveness to ridicule
II to come right out with telling demon
stratlon for the cause. The anti-suffrag-
lists wer} warned to stand aside and make
way for those who are willing to work
for the furtheranee Of women interests.

Plea for Cooperation.

Sheriff Frank H. Sommer was the
guest of honor this afternoon at a
luncheon at which there were forty

ding the city of places driven out of
business by the Sheriff's men and do
much toward bringing the moral con-
ditions of the city where they should
be. The Sheriff stated recently

invitations.
1t was said that aside from hear
ing from the sheriff today nothing

thorities in preventing law-breaking.
During the past year the, sheriff and
Under Sheriff Charles NJ. Mason have
been making q practise of delivering
addresses before the mems clubs Of va
rious churches in the city, both
Protestant and Catholic, and usually

represented. besides Presbyterians, were
Baptists, Methodists. Episcopalians and
Reformed. The meeting concluded shortly
before 4 o'clock.
When seen by an EVENING STAR re-
porter Mr.. Chapman said that the clergy
simply listened to suggestions from the
Sheriff as well as a history of the mora
conditions OF the city. IN answer to fur
Their questions he said that nc action was
made for anything immediate being done
but admitted that eventually there would
be some development.
