The rain yesterday was a Godsend
for South Amboy. The long drought
had made the dust from the streets

The unlawful rate of speed in

to council the appointment of this

STEAL FLAGS FROM
GRAVES OF SOLDIERS
$50 ofa, to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, June Livery
true American appreciates the youth
that loves his country's flag, but we
think the love of the stars and
stripes is a little too far reaching
when it impels the boys of South
Amboy to steal the flags placed upon
the old veterans graves. Some OF
those boys who robbed the graves OF
flags in the cemeteries of this city
are known and unless they return
them may be apprehended and dealt
with according to law. 1t does seem
strange that some are so devoid OF
principle as to rob the graves of the
dead of both flags and flowers.

South Amboy, June IA num-
Der of the citizens and the fire de-
partment were called out about
11:30 O'Clock last night when the
fire. siren and fire alarm bell sound
ed in repeated blasts and taps. No
n was able to locate the place of
the fire, but quite a number congre-
gated at the engine house On Broad
way. Later it was learned that the
sounding of the alarm was caused
by the sagging of the electric light
wire on Main street, causing it to
come in contact with the wire of the
fire alarm system. Every time the
wires touched the alarm sounded,
keeping the whole city awake for
over an hour. The matter was final
ly fixed.

officers openly participating in the purchase and sale of votes. It has been shown in some cases votes were putup at auction and knocked down to the highest bidder.
 Yet these occurrences did not occur among ignorant Mexicans who cannot read and write. Most of the bribed voters were native Americans, products of the public schools, and they could read sem tence or paragraph in the Consti- tntion of the United States-or the entire Constitution-in manner that would satisfy anyone that they knew and understood what they were reading. Many of them are well to do farmers. One of the indicted and convicted parties is a woman who acted as a broker and sold the vote of her own son; and he delivered the goods. And both mother and son are well off in this worlds goods, and of more than ordinary intelligence, being able both to read, write and trans act business. Yet there be those so silly as to assert that the capaci- ty for reading and writing will make voters honest and unpur- chaseabIe. Faughl What rotll

Armstrong sold a l6.acre orange grove near Pomona for $32 ,000, and the property pays good interest upon that valuation -$2,000 per acre. He says the same results may be attained at Hermosillo when the same careful attention is paid to the details of citrus culture that is given in Cali. fornia. Mir. Armstrong found in Dr. Bim Smith an old acquaintance he had not seen in number of years, and the two gentlemen are having a very pleasant visit together.

 The Calumet < Sonora Mining Company has commenced sinking a shaft upon its fine property which is situated about ten miles east of Llano station. The plan that will be followed is to sink to a depth of 200 feet, running levels to cross cut the ledge at 100 feet and 200 feet, and to drift on the ledge. At another point an incline will be sunk upon the ledge.
 The Cinco de Mayo mine, in the Moctezuma district, is reported as making a monthly production of high grade ores and concentrates valued at about $200O0 American money.

over 8 Per Cent Legal.

Corporations may pay dividends in
excess OF per cent upon their pre-
ferred stock, according to an opinion
handed down by Attorney General
Hogan in response to a query from
Secretary of State Graves. Since the
preferred stock is a lien upon the
earnings of the company up to the
amount provided in it's limit, it has
been held in the past that because the
legal rate of interest is per cent the
stock could not pay more than that.
Hogan holds, however, that after
the common stock has been placed on
a common footing with the preferred,
that is, If it also is paying per cent,
then any profits which may he in ex-
cess of that shall be divided equally
between the issues of preferred and
common stock.
