OF Browns Mills, has been admitted to
probate and letters testamentary granted
queaths all her estate to her daughter,
Mildred, who is a resident Of Browns
Mills.
The will OF John A. Vandegrift, de-
ceased, of Burlington, has been admit
ted to probate and letters testamentary
granted to George A. Atkinson. The en-
tire estate is bequethed to the son and
daughter of the testator, in trust, but
the executor and trustee Is empowered
by the will to advance to either or both
of the children the sum of $50 per month
from the corpus of the estate if in his
judgment this Is required for their
maintenance.
James G. Shelly, late of Browns

the testator against him, and amounts to
5000. The residue of the estate is bequeath-
ed absolutely to the testator's widow, and
she is authorized to sell the real estate, but
it is evident that the testator did not intend
an absolute bequest to his wife, as he pro-
vides that after her death the sum of $500
shall be paid to Mrs. A. Budd Sharp and
$500 to Emma Elbertson.
The will of Catharine Krim, deceased, of
Beverly, has been admitted to probate.
While the phraseology of the will is peculiar,
it is evident that it was the intention of the

between her two children, Mary and Carl,
but the latter is not to be paid his full share
until it is apparent that he is competent to
receive it. The Mount Holly Trust Co. is

MONTERREY, Mex, Aug. b.
With 500 bodies recovered and buried
in Monterey up to nightfali two
thousand is now the estimate of the
city authorities of those who lost
their lives throughout the valley of
the Santa Caatprina river. The num-
ber of homeless-many destitute
is placed at between $4,000 and 2O,-
900.
The Santa Catarina river at Monte
rey has subsided sufficiently to per-
nit passage into the district lying
to the south. Thus more COM
plete story of the disasters appalling
effects becomes known. People who
had been saved from the flood Sat-
urday morning have been without
food until today, when they We're
supplied with small amount of
bread and beans.
Once on the south side of the river
evidences of the terrible destruction
wrought by the food were seen on
every side, Five blocks Of the dis
trict were as though they had never
existed and in the remaining portion
bodies were being taken from the
ruins and inferred by party of gem
darmes sent across for the purpose.
Thus far no Americans have been
reported lost. Reports from down
the river say that many bodies have
been recovered but there are many
that will never be accounted for, for
the Santa Catarina bed is filled with
quicksands.
The authorities are doing all in
their power and the government has
sent $50, 900 for the relief of suffer-
ers. Contributions have been re-
ceived from San Antonio and New
York firms which have agencies in
this city.
Many houses have fallen from the
effect of continuous rains which have
occurred during the seventy-two
hours ending at noon Sunday Dur
ing this time 21 rs inches of rain

Catarina canyon.
One of the buildings destroyed was
the San Francisco church, which was
built in 1862. The barracks of the
rurales was washed away and much
military equipment was lost.
The railroad situation continues
unchanged, although the officials an

None of 4mer-
ic0n Union Plan

PARIS, Aug. 31.-The controversy
between the International trades
union and Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor
entered upon another chapter today,
when the conference voted to dis
cuss only the proposals submitted by
those organizations affiliated with
the congress. This shuts out the
propositions made by Gompers
Mr.. Gompers introduced proposal
favoring worldwide organization
which would defend the rights anu
interests of all and create interna-
tional fraternity and solidity."
The clash came over the question
of the exact status of Mr.. Gompers
and the American Federation of La
Dor in the conference.
Mr.. Gompers statement was re-
ceived coldly. Several delegates
jumped to their feet to protest.
Hueber, an Austrian delegate,
vehemently characterized Mr.. Com
per's explanations as mockery
"We thank you for your opinions
he said pointedly, ''but we do not
need them. Your policies may not
permit you to come to us, but one
day, American workmen, you will
realize that your policies are
erroneous and you will see the ne
cessity of joining the international
confederation"
Mr.. Gomper's, stinging under the
rebuke, arose to reply Il regret, .
he exclaimed, that you have mis-
construed my remarks as an attack
upon European trade unionism.
repeat we sincerely desire interna-
tional federation, but only so far as
it preserves the American conception
of unionism.'
NJ Legien, the International Sec
retary, ended the controversy with
the statement that Mr.. Gompers was
only guest, but he hoped that the
officials was convinced that the mo-
ment had arrived for the American
Federation of Labor to join forces
with their European brethren.

PRESENTS Plan Of Extending Permits to
J0lDe Problem of Forest Reserve Grazing


OGDEN, Aug. Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson, and his
son, Jasper Wilson, who is his private
secretary, and Assistant Chief For
ester A. f. Potter, met delegation
of about sixty representative sheep
men of Utah and Idaho yesterday
at the Weber club roms, where Sec
retary Wilson listened to complaints
and recommendations relative to the
management of the national forests
in this part of the country.
The meeting was not of parliament
tary order, but merely one for an
informal discussion of the western
stockmen.
The chief complaint made was
relative to the national forests. The
sheepmen said that under the present
system of issuing annual permits for
grazing, the stockmen were never
sure whether or not they would be
allowed to use the range the follow
ing year. This uncertainty breeds
a spirit of carelessness and indiffer-
ence, no interest is taken in the inn
provement Of the range and it is de-
stroyed, or, at any rate. left uncared
for. The sheepmen wanted to try
to have the present system changed
and to be released of this undue
anxiety.
Mr.. Potter replied to this, saying:
The forest service realizes that to
secure the cooperation of the sheep
men in the improvement of the range
they must have some assurance of
renewal of the permits for term of
years and that just as fast as the
controversies between the stockmen
are settled and the number of head
of stock grazed upon a national for
est is found not to be in excess of
its grazing capacity, Secretary Will,
son authorized the approval of ap-
plicants for permits for period of
five years.
These permits are to be issued
under a guarantee that only such re-
duction on permits will be made
thereafter as is found necessary to
provide for bona fide new settlers ana
which in no case must cause a re-
duction of 10 per cent on any per-
nit.
In order to protect the old users
of the forests the total number of
stock allowed all beginners for the
first year must not exceed per cent
of the total allowance of the Forest"
1t is though that this plan will
give greater stability to the livestock
business and encourage the stock
men to take better care of the ranges.
The complaints made by the stock
men We're not antagonistic to the
policy of creating national forests
for the conservation of the timber
and water supply, but against the
construction of regulations and the
manner in which some of the forests
had been managed
| 1t was stated on behalf of the for
est service that it is anxious to CO.
operate with the stockmen in making
the regulations better fit the condi-
tfons in order that they may manage
the grazing land SO that it will be of
the greatest use to the stockmen and
add to the general welfare of the
| people.
At the close of the meeting a vote
OF thanks was rendered Secretary
Wilson and Assistant Forester Pot
ter by the stockmen for having come
and met with them.
