 The board of supervisors of Gila county has named r. F. TowIe as fair commissioner for that county. The other counties should follow suit as rapidly as possible.

DEATH SUMMONS
FORMER BELLE
ONCE NOTED BEAUTY CLOSES
LIFE IN POVERTY
FOR THREE YEARS SHE HAD BEEN
A WARD OF THE COUNTY
Mrs. Anna ErteI Had Danced Many a
Reel with Gay Officers During
Days of the Civil
War

Born in 1880 on a large plantation in
Mississippi where ner father owned
many slaves; a leader in social circles
more than a decade before the Civil
War, and later known as the belle of
the Confederacy, Mrs. Anna Ertel, who
for the last three years has been a
charity patient at the county hospital,
died of old age at that institution early
yesterday morning.
Although nine years past the three
score-and-ten mark, Mrs. Ertel still
retained much of the beauty for which
she was noted far and wide in the
southland. Within a comparatively
short time prior to her death her mind
was unusually clear and active, anu
although she was a bit feeble at times
she never complained.
At times when she was in a reminis-
cent frame of mind she delighted the
nurses and fellow patients with stories
of Dixie land and of the number of
prominent officers of the Confederate
army and members of the Confederate
cabinet she was acquainted with.
She told of the grand balls which she
attended when the flower of the south
ern army, attired in full dress uni
forms, danced the Virginia reel and
the old-fashioned square dances with
demure maidens wearing the volumin-
Gus nOOD SklIlS anu Will lilCIi AiS''A
combed back and knotted in what was
known as the waterfall"
Mrs. Ertel retained her old-fashioned
manners and always was courteous to
all with whom she came in contact.
When in a particularly talkative mood
she would relate incidents attending
her visit to the old mansion of Presi-
dent Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy.
On these occasions she seemed to live
again the days Of the war, and FOR
several days afterward would act as
person many years younger.
She was a favorite with the old-time
patients and with the hospital attend
ants, and several days ago when she
began to grow weaker every nurse did
all in her power to alleviate the suf-
ferings of the once famous belle.
When she died, shortly after o'clock
yesterday morning, the news was COM
1nunicated to all who had had the
pleasure of her acquaintance, and
many shed tears when it was learned
that she had passed away.
AS far as is known, Mrs. Ertel left
no relatives, her husband and children
having long since passed away. 1t is
probable her friends will see that she
has a burial befitting her. SO far the
funeral arrangements have not beer
completed.

WINERY EMPLOYE is
PLACED BEHIND BARS

WITH MANSLAUGHTER

Pete Lude at San Pedro,
Ending in Latter's
Death
Frank Montana. an employe of

Frank Montana, an employe OF
winery at Pomona, was arrested ana
brought to the county jail by Deputy
Sheriff Henry yesterday to answer TO
a charge of manslaughter on account
of the death of Pete Lude, known as
French Pete" at Wilmington about
a week ago.
Ludes death is believed to be the
outcome of an old quarrel between
the two men and a feeling of vengeful-
ness on Ludes part against Montana.
Several years ago Montana and Lude
became involved in a quarrel and
Lude drew a revolver He was ar
rested on a charge of assault with
deadly weapon and was sentenced to
San Quentin for three years.
During his term in prison he nursed
his anger toward Montana, and when
he was released he went to Whining
ton to find the man he believed was
responsible for his incarceration. Ac-
cording to Montana, Lude picked
quarrel on a slight pretext and drew
a knife. Montana struck him with his
fist, knocking him down. Lude's head
struck the pavement and he died
few hours later. Montana was ar
rested, but when the coroner's jury
returned no accusation against him he
was released and went to Pomona.

MAY DROP CHARGE
AGAINST SCHENCk
BELIEVED THAT CASE NEVER
WILL COME TO TRIAL
Trial of Former Police Commissioner
Has Been Continued Indefinitely
by Judge Davis in the
Superior Court

While the district attorneys office
will make no definite statement with
reference to the matter, it is now be-
Ieved that the case of Samuel Schenck,
former police commissioner, never will
come to trial. The case was continued
indefinite by Judge Davis of the GRIM
inal court several weeks ago, and up to
the present time has not been reset for
trial.
schenck was indicted by the last
grand jury on a charge of attempting
to bribe f. j. Fleming while the latter
was a deputy district attorney at the
police station, and 1t is said the dis
trict attorney is reluctant to prosecute
the case owing to the outcome of the
Broadhead trial, in which the corrobofa-
tive testimony produced by the prose-
cution was regarded as much stronger
than can be introduced in the Schenck
case.
In the latter case the principal testl-
mony would be that of Fleming, con-
cerning a conversation with Schenck
at LeVys cafe, Fleming and Schenck
being the only persons present, and the
only corroboration of Fleming state
ments while in the witness chair would
hbe the testimony of Nick Oswald, who
could testify only that he knew Schenck
twas to propose to Fleming that the
raids on the Savage houses on CONNER
ciaI should remain undisturbed. Flem-
ing, while a witness before the grand
Jury, stated the consideration offered
bv Schenck was a sum of money to be
paid to the deputy each month, and In
addition an assurance that he would be
made district attorney.
Should the case against Schenck be
dismissed the same course Will be taken
with reference to the Indictment
against Oswald, who is charged with
perjury in connection with his testi--
mony before the last preceding grand
Jury. This indictment, it is understood,
will remain against Oswald until the
necessity for his testimony in the
Schenck matter is ended, when it will
be ordered off the calendar on motion
of the district attorney, oswald having
been assured of immunity from prose-
cution in return for his testimony dur
ing the last session of the grand jury,
the Broadhead trial and the Schenck
matter.

There are few persons who, hearing
the sound of a parrots voice, are not

ADAM D. WARNER SPEAKS
BEFORE FEDERATION CLUB
of President" Leads to
Discussion of Evil Effects of
the Vulgar Rich

Adam Dixon Warner, an attorney.
spoke last night before the Federated
club on impressions of the Presi-
dent" and after referring to the greed
of corporations, Mr.. Warner said:
president Taft has the highest
opportunity to do what Lincoln and
Washington and Charlemagne and 9TH
er patriots did.
"Charlemagne and handful of sim
cerely religious and patriotic French
men founded schools of morality all
through western Europe-erected NO
ire Dame in Paris, and lifted not only
France. but all of western Europe out
of ignorance, vice and depravity, onto
a high moral plane of progressive cltl-
zenship Again the mass of the peo-
pie. through extravaganza and lust Tor
gold, became lost to God, ana whollV
irreligious, and the reign of terror fol-
lowed that knew no virtue and for
got no vice. The excesses of that aw-
f,,1 time are unmatched in history
"As Lincoln and Jefferson and wash
ington were ahead of their time and
lifted the people onto higher planes
of citizenship and government, so did
Abraham. Isaac and Jacob of old, In
turn. influence morality, and make 1t
not only progressive, but aggressive;
later the sweet simplicity and
overcome bv the gross immortality of
the Philistines, and as immortality
grew religion decayed.
"To realize the depths of moral
degradation when Venus was wor-
SHIPPED at Pathos, and when Pompeii
was the art gallery of the world one
onlv has to read Pauls Epistle to the
Romans-the epistles of Horace, o"
the satires of Juvenal; and to think
Of the unprintable or unspeakable
thoughts of Marcus Aurelias.
"What, think you. brought the de-
struction of these cities and Rome and
Paris, and forced the intermittent de-
cearch history as you may, and spec
Mate to the furtherest extent OF
imaginations capacity, and there VIII
he but one answer. The lust ana
