Lawn Fete.

The lawn fete to be held in Ma
pie Park on Friday evening will
begin at 7 o'clock. Our command
of the English language will not
enable us, nor will space allow us
to tell of the many good things the
ladies of the V. /. S. have pre-
pared for your inside and outside
comfort and amusement on this
occasion. Anyway, there will be
a fish pond for the children, candy,
peanuts and lemonade for the
young folks and sandwiches, pie,
cake and coffee for everybody.
Ice cream will also be on sale.
The beautiful doll and base ball
outfit will be presented to the
holder of the lucky number at s
O'Clock.
One of the principal features of
the evening will be the presence of
a professional fortune teller whose
services have been secured to tell
the past, present and future to
those who care and dare to have
it told.
At 9 p. M, when all are filled
to the neck with good things
served in the park, it is time to
hike to the I. 0. o. F. hall across
the street where something out of
the ordinary in the line of minis
trelsy will be presented to those
who pay 10 cents for admittance.
This is the big show after which
cake, coffee, etc, will be again
served in she park.

POWER BOAT COMPLETED
AND IN OPERATION.
is NAMED "CLINTON LLOYD" d"

The new power boat on Lake
Mokoma is completed and was
given her trial trip Tuesday even
ing. VIM. T. Simpson, State Boat
Inspector of Scranton, Pa, made
the inspection Monday and pro-
nounced her a perfect boat in ever
respect and issued the proper
certificate to the Company. He
also examined the master, Mr..
George Ladley, and engineer Ma
ben, both of whom passed salts
factory examinations and received
certificates.
The boat is fifty feet in length
and is permitted to carry one hun
dred passengers. On the trial trip
she proved all thai could be desired.
Although the machinery was new,
there was no delay, and when the
power was turned on the boat
moved away from the pier eaisly
and gracefully.
In the name of the boat, "Clin-
ton Lloyd" will be recognized a
just tribute to the man who first
formed the idea of the develop
nent of Lake Mokoma. Hon.
Clinton Lloyd was for many years
Chief Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington, d. G.
He was lawyer by profession and
attained national reputation as
a lecturer and public speaker. He
was a native of Lycoming County
and business often brought him to
Sullivan County. 1t was on one
of his trips to Laporte that he was
impressed with the possibilities of
Lake Mokoma as resort. He
Immediately set to work, interested
capital in the enterprise, formed a
company and purchased nearly
500 acres of land. Had his life
been spared, greater progress would
have been made in the develop
ment of the enterprise. But with
his death progress ceased until
the new company was formed and
took possession about three years
ago.
1t is therefore a most proper
thing to honor the memory of Mr..
Lloyd in the naming of the beau
tiful new boat, and the company is
to be congratulated upon its happy
selection of a name.

STRANGERS APPRECIATE
CLIMATE AT SAN DIEGO

San Diego, Cal, Oct 11-It has been
said by weather experts that the sill
mate of San Diego, Cal, is the finest
in the world Whether it is or not
those who have enjoyed it at all sea
sons know that it is good enough to
warrant keeping the Panama-Califor-
MIA International Exposition open the
full year, instead of for six months
as has been the nvariable custom for
such expositions. Strangers who visit
San Diego appreciate better than the
people of that city do themselves what
an invaluable asset such a climate is.
It will in fact, be one of the best ex-
hibits to be seen at the exposition;
but there will be plenty of others, and
many which have never been seen at
any other exposition that was ever
held.
The San Diego exposition will be
marked by a profusion of flowers and
foliage. At this moment, millions Of
plants are being propagated for use on
the grounds surrounding the exposi-
ton city One can hardly imagine the
splendor for the setting which will be
produced by acres of blossoming
plants, acres of plants with tropical
exurberance of foliage, thousands of
palms and ferns and herbage of un-
usual forms. The management is max
ing the best use of the wonderful eli
mate which allows plants to grow out
of doors all the year around and the
opening of the exposition will see a
splendid display of botanical wonders
and beauties.
The various states of the west and
southwest. the individual counties Of
California, and especially Of the south
ern part of Lle state, viii cooperate in
making the big San Diego exposition
a success in 1915 The counties will
have extensive exhibits, When it is
remembered that some of these coun-
ties are as big as some states and as
rich as empires, it will be seen that
they can do much to enhance the sue
cess of the whole show

TWO CHEROKEE DELEGATIONS
APPEAL TO DEPARTMENTS

Washington. D. c., Oct 10 = Two
delegations of fullblood Cherokee In
dians will lay their troubles before
the interior department this week. One
delegation, headed by the redoubtable
Suzan Sanders, arrived Monday and
another party. headed by John and
Mary Lehan. who are coming over
land, will reach here today.
In Suzan Sanders party are Rev
George Liver. a Cherokee Baptist min
lister and Iaac Hummingbird With
them is John Howard white who acts
as secretary and interpreter. Their
mission here is to adjudicate all claims
of the Cherokees under the treaties of
1920 and 1916. The claims which they
want TO adjust are for lands which
they assert were wrongfully given to
go white men and women who had
married into the nation, and to 5000
negroes. The delegation bears ere
dentials from a convention of full
blood Cherokees held at Stillwell,
Okla, on September 16.
The mission of the Lehan party is
vagurely known TO deal with certain
lands in the Cherokee Nation which
they claim. The party appears to be
a family affair and is composed of
John and Mary Lehan and their twen-
ty-one children and five grandchildren.
They are travelling in wagons and pitch
their tents wherever night finds them.

OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR WILL

Lee Cruce sent the following telegram
to Governor 0. B Colquitt of Texas.
Replying to your telegram suggest
ing a conference of governors and sec
retaries of agriculture of cotton pro-
ducing states, will say that a meeting
of this character to be held in Dallas
or Fort Worth would be satisfactory
to those of Oklahoma interested in the
matter. l agree with you that the
present price Of cotton is not justified
by existing conditions and in my judg-
ment the decline is the outgrowth of a
combination of spectators and gamb-
lers who have no regard for the public
welfare do not know what remedy
could be offered to correct the trouble,
but certainly the conference suggest
ed by you should it produce no good re

N 'NAMARAS READY

No Effort Will Be Made BY Defense
to Delay Trial of Brothers on
Dynamtna Charge.

Las Angeles, Cal, oct 11.-onicial
uncertainty surrounded last night
every point of interest in the trial Of
the Mcnamara brothers, except for
the fact that it would begin today.
Whether John J. McUamara, secre-
tary of the international Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers, will then be placed on trial for
murder in connection with the Los
Angeles Times explosion of October l.
1910, which cost twenty-one lives or
his brother James b. Mcnamara, will
face trial on identical indictments, was
not made known officially District At
torney John D. Fredericks said the de
fense still had the technical right to
have both ben stand trial together.
Until the expressed preference for
separate trials is made a certainty,
which probably will not be before court
opens at 10 a. M. the prosecution will
not announce which man it will try
first The popular belief, and that of
the defense is that James B. Nc
Nomara will be selected.
However, it falls out Attorney Clar-
ence s. Darrow. chief counsel for the
defense. said last night, no effort 20
delay the beginning of the case will

"We shall ask for change of judge, -
said Mr. Darrow. I'VE expect that it
will be denied, and then the trial will
go ahead"
The Mcnamara brothers, chatting
in the corridor of the jail, apparently
expected no delay.

Cherokee Nation born after Septem-
Der. 1902, shall be included in the dis
Ubution of land and money, in ac-

the Cherokee children was instituted
by Levi B. Gritts and others, who
sought an injunction TO prevent the
payment of money to heirs born after
September, 1902, about $500 in num-
Der. An injunction was denied and
an appeal was taken by the plaintiffs,
who represent about $4,000 Indians.

been spared by the committee in
charge of this work to bring the mat
ter forcibly before all employees, in
order to reduce the number of per

forth by the central safety committee

Eighty per cents of the cases of per

causes and encourage care and thus
