MAKES HIS LAST APPEAL TO THE
VOTERS IN HIS RACE FOR
CONGRESS-. =

10 the VOterS OF the ElgnCn Con-
gressional District:
[ have done my best. [ have
seen every man that | could. |
have worked with unceasing effort
since the 7th day of October, re-
gardless of the weather, displaying
a determination that few men do.
l have cast no aspertion on any
mans character or reputation, but
have made my race on my own
merits. [ have made the strong
est plea for the working, wealth
producing class of people that was
ever made in the district.
The canvass is nearing a close,
and you are going to the ballot
box on August 6 to select your
Representative in Congress. You
have given Mr.. Sims twelve years
of chance and opportunity, and you
know that is long enough. What
personal benefit have youderived
from his twelve years of service?
Why is it not right to give jeff
Newton a chance and see what he
can do?
| was a poor country school
teacher when | was elected the
clerk of the court in Madison
County. When l had held it two
terms | stepped down and outand
gave another poor boy chance.
Idid right, and you will do right
when you on August 6 vote to give
me chance and not to give it all
to one. [ have done unto others
just what | am asking you to do
for me. | have plead for the men
who have borne the burdens of the
government, and now ask you to
assist me in relieving them.
| want you to go to the polls on
August 6 and vote for me and use
your influence to get your friends.
to do the same. Put yourself in
my place and see if you would not
think it hard for me to kill your
neutrality-suspicious. when you were
trying TO help me.
Don't knock me in the head with
your ballot. l am the youngest
man in the race, and was the first
man to announce. All young men
should vote for me, and the old
men should encourage the young
men. Don't forget jeff Newton
on August 6.
Thanking you for your help, L
am,
Yours truly,
j. ID. NEWTON.

expected to go on to the Graham place
and stop there over night.
Some time after reaching the Ora
ham place Fenton's suspicious were

MRS. ETA MAYR IS
AGAIN ON THE STAND
ADMITS PURLoINING KEY TO
SECURE. PAPERS
Circumstances Attending Plaintiffs
Exclusion from Her Apartments
by Defendant Gone IntoNwith
Much Minuteness

Mrs. Eta Mayr resumed the stand
in Judge James court yesterday AFTER
noon and testified in her suit for d.
vorce from her husband, Walter A.
Mayr.
She admitted having taken the key
to a safety deposit box from her hus-
bands pocket for the purpose of Sc
curing papers belonging to her which
were in the vault. She was DESTROYS
of possessing them, for fear her nus
band would use them to her disad-
vantage if their troubles were brought
into court. Some of her papers, she
declared, had been purloined by Mayr
and are now filed as his exhibits in
the case.
The circumstances regarding the oc-
casion when she was locked out of her
apartments by Mayr were again re-
ferred to by Attorney Britt in his at
tempt to show that the woman had a
key to the apartments at that time.
She was questioned infinitely as to her
reasons for leaving her home on that
occasion, and her reply, in substance,
was that she desired to get fresh air
and her only opportunity was in the
evening when Mayr was home to at
tend to the baby. She said she also
wanted to have some waists fitted and
had visited Miss Elliott. Before
coming home she stopped with her
friend at drug store and had an ice
cream soda.
In reply to a question as to whether
she carried a purse on that occasion
she said she was sure she did not.
Where did you carry your money!"
asked Attorney Britt.
II probably carried 1t in my glove"
she answered.
She stated, as before. that she ar
rived at her apartments, found the
door locked and was compelled to get
one of the hotel employees to open 1t
for her. She was then asked IL she
did not always carry a key to the door
and whether she did not have it that
night. She replied that she usually
carried the key on a ring with other
KEYS, but had left them at home that
time. Attorney Britt went into details
regarding the make Of the key, Its size
and length.
A notice in a Chicago newspaper in
which Mayr is said to have informed
the public that he would not be re-
sponsible for any debts contracted by
Mrs. Mayr, also figured in the cross
examination, as did her conversation
with her lawyer in Chicago at the time
she was advised by him to get possess
sion of the key to the deposit vault ard
secure her papers. Numerous ques-
lions regarding these incidents were
objected to by counsel for Mrs. Mayr.
The trial will be resumed at 10
o'clock this morning.

REDUCTIONS IN TAXATION
City Council Fails to Appreciate Argyll

to Be for Charity
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, July 27.-The city coun-
Gil this morning finished its work as
board of equalization, in which it has
been engaged for just two weeks.
The total of reductions made was
only $4,000, a very small percentage of
the sums asked.
This morning the council was unable
to see that the Edison company's fran
chise, valued at $4,000, was only worth
$4,000, although Manager A. l.. Selig
strongly insisted 1t was, and said that
the possession of a franchise by pub
lie service corporation was only an evil
dence of good will, anyway. The coun-
Gil appreciated the good will shown by
the Edison company, but refused to re-
duce the assessment of their franchise
to $4,000.
