ROBBER ASKS
FOR LENIENCY
Rev. Jacob Ganss Gets Letter
from Robert StakaWay--
Wants a Petition.


Robert Stakaway,- held in the
county jail in default of $1,000 bail
on charges ranging from petit lar
ceny to atrocious assault and at
tempt to kill, is now asking elem
ency. Saturday he wrote to Rev.
DR.. Jacob Ganss, pastor OF st. Paul's
German Lutheran church in this
city, requesting that he petition
Judge Lyon for leniency. Rev. DR..
Ganss was a former pastor of his,
and when Stakaway was confined in
the lookup here he spent an hour In
his cell.
In the letter Stakaway departs
from his erstwhile plea of not guilty
to each charge and admits that he
carried a revolver and is guilty of
receiving stolen goods. He even de-
clares that he shot at Patrolman
Gutowski on the night of September
IA, when he was captured.
The prisoner makes an earnest
plea for mercy. He states that when
freed from prison he will lead an
honest and upright life. But he
does not want to see the state peni-
tentiary. He asks Rev. DR.. Ganss
to plead with officials of the State
Rerormatory at Railway, from which
he is now on parole, and request
that he be returned there.
1t is his contention that the public
has been misinformed concerning his
deeds He denies having been a
member of the gang that robbed sew
eral post offices and railroad stations,
entered clothing stores, and held up
persons on lonely roads. But he
does not state why he was caught
with a revolver on his person and
shot at an officer If he was not a
member Of the gang.

j. H. GREGORY
WILL REMAIN
Reconsiders His Decision to
Withdraw from Republi-
can School Board Ticket.
MACHINE AFTER MAJORITY

John H. Gregory, one of the nomi-
nees for school commissioner on the
straight republican ticket, an
announced several days ago his in
tention of Withdrawing from the
race. Since then, however, he has
reconsidered his decision, and this
morning announced that he would
renal
Mr.. Gregory declared at his first
announcement that he did not feel
greatly impressed with the chances
Of the straight republican nominees
When he was first notified of his en-
dorsement by the republican city ex-
ecutive committee, he was inclined
to refuse. He said he did not seek
the office, and was about to with
draw from the race. Since how
ever, he has decided to remain.
The refusal of Mr.. Gregory to re-
main on the ticket would have
caused serious split. Like action
would probably have been taken by
understood, have expressed similar
sentiments.
1t is generally reported that the
republican machine is not trying to
elect the entire straight republican
school board ticket, but will concen-
trate It's efforts to elect only one
Or two commissioners in expectation
of getting a majority in the board.
The four present republican men,
bers of the school board, whose
names are also on the democratic
tickets, 1t is believed, will be elect
ed and in view of this fact, 1t is de-
clared the republican machine is
only trying to elect one or two men,
bers 30 as to get majority. While
the republicans may be successful in
electing one or two of the straight
nominees, 1t is doubtful about their
getting control of the board, as the
four republican members who are
seeking reelection are not likely to
join with them, inasmuch as they
are non-partisan and are endorsed
by the democrats.

Movement to Secure Better
Water Facilities Between
Sandy Hook and N. Y.
DEEPEN The CHANNELS
Board Will Examine Water
ways Wednesday on the
Pilot Boat New Jersey.
SOUTH AMB0Y PASSAGE
Old Course Is Practically
Abandoned by Vessels With
Draught of 10 Feet.
SOUTH AMBOY PASSAGE.

In an endeavor to agitate and se-
cure deeper channel and better wa
ter facilities along the coast between
Sandy Hook and New York. the New
YORK and New Jersey Board of Pilot
commissioners will make an inspec-
tion Wednesday of the waterways
between the two points At 10
o'clock Wednesday morning, the pi-
lot boat New Jersey will leave pier
/, New York, with members OF the
board and representatives from va
rlous cities along the route.
Mayor Bollschweiler has been in
vited as representative from this
city. Commissioners Daniel Chase.
of South Amboy, and ]. A. Ashcraft,
Of Tottenville, will also be on board.
1t is the intention of the commits
sioners to agitate deeper waterways
along the coast, soliciting an appro-
prfation from Washington to defray
expenses of widening and deepening
the channels. Especially in this har-
Dor are the channels to be observed.
At present there Is but one pas
sage of any account In this harbor.
1t comprises a channel near the Sta
ten Island shore, rounding Wards
point, and leading out past the
Great Beds light house. So long ts'
1t, however, since the channel was
dredged, that it is now almost i'm
possible for a boat of heavy ton
mage to use it save at high water.
The old channel near the Perth
A&nboy shore leading to South Am
boy, has been practically abandoned.
and is now used only by tugs and
light drawing vessels. 1t Is claimed
by pilots using the bay that it is al
most impossible for steamer with
a draught of eighteen feet or more
to reach South Amboy by any pas
sage.
1t Is proposed to deepen the
channel off Wards point to a depth
of twenty-four feet or more. The
other channel will probably be re-
opened, although sediment washed
down from the Raritan river will.
gradually refill it.
The tug will probably pass
through the Staten Island sound on
the down trip. At Sandy Hook the
boat will be turned about and the
outer Staten Island shore followed.

Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-06

developing their holdings in the val
ley, it is no wonder that recent months
have seen a decided increase in the
number of new settlers and a very no
ticeable activity in land transactions
in the valley Prices on raw land have
advanced gradually and firmly, ac-
cording to members of the Orange
County Realty company, who deal eX-
tensively in these lands, and there
have come numerous instances to no.
tice where investors have doubled their
money on certain pieces of land there
within year. But even now the best
land in the valley, and up there, as
about everywhere else, there is a sharp
difference in quality of land, can be
purchased for from SIS to $40 an acre.
There is hardly another locality in the
west where good land within a three
hours run on a main line railroad
from great city is purchasable at
such figures.
The full development of the Ante
Iope valley will mean the opening of a
rich money-spending territory at the
very door of Los Angeles-meaning a
very considerable addition to the dis
tributing field of Los Angeles busi-
ness interests.
