MISS NORRIS SAYS
SHE TOLDSTORY TO
SHIELD CAM|NETT|
Strength of Testimony Is
Shaken, But Explana-
tion of Story
Given

San Francisco, September s--I,ola Nor
ris admitted today in the trial of II. Drew
can-inetti for alleged violation of the
Mann white slave act that she had given
Camnetti. Recalled to the stand to ex-
plain her first efforts to shield Caminetti
and Maury I. Diggs Immediately after
their arrest at Reno, she admitted frankly
that she had not told the truth and to
that extent her credibility as a witness
and the value of her story to the gov
ernment was shaken. but her explanation
was that she had lied to save the man
she loved and whom she then trusted.
Mrs. Caminetti followed her with testi-
riony throwing interesting sidelights on
what she previously had told for the BEN
eft of Dggs at his trial. She was an
eager witness for her husband.
Caminetti to Testify
Tomorrow Camnetti will begin his per-
sonal defense with an account of how he
'happened' to leave his Wife in sacra-
mento with a baby three weeks old when
he fled with Lola Norris. Caminetd does
not deny his acts; he seeks to qualify them
by the motives from which they sprang.
Although Caminetti had expected to
testify in person today, the government
forstalled him and instead he listened
to his own words as taken down by w. e.
Doan of Sacramento, court reporter. In re-
- A tJ-sxx
ant district attorney of Sacramento coun-
ty, after the Reno arrests
1t was to Atkinson that Lola Norris
admitted TODAY she had lied.
In the course of the interrogatory, the
accuracy of which Caminetti does-not
question as taken down by Doan, he re-
peatedly admitted that he had promised
to marry Miss Norris after he had OBJ
tanned a divorce from his wife on the
ground of physical cruelty.
Replies by Miss Norris, in part to Ques-
fions of Atkinson and In part to those he
permitted Caminetti to ask. also were
taken down by Doan and We're read by
him from hi notes today.
Government Rests Case
With it's production of this testimony,
the government rested abruptly.
Marshall Woodwork, chief counsel for
the defense, in stating his case announced
Il at "the statement made in the train
by the defendant to District Attorney At

and Caminett to protect the girls
Mrs Caminetti testified to her husband s
nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
appetite during the week before he left

materially to the Presidents Information
on this aspect of the situation. Mr. Hale
said today he went to Mexico unofficially
and of his own volition, but that any
facts that he had gathered would be at
the service of the United States govern
ment He has an engagement to talk to
President Wilson at length tomorrow.
Mr.. Hale denied that he carried any doc
uments from Mr.. Lind, but it is under
stood that from his recent conversations
with Mr.. Lind and his close intimacy
with the negotiations which have been
conducted with Senior Gamboa, he will
be able to give the administration a more
comprehensive view of affairs in Mexico
than has been possible in messages.
Meanwhile MIR. Lind will remain in
Vera Cruz pending orders from Wash
ington. At the White House it was stated
that messages have been exchanged with
in the last "a hours with both Mr.. Lind
and Charge 'Shaughnessy at Mexico
City, which indicates an encouraging and
hopeful view for the ultimate success of
the negotiations.
President Wilson Immediately on his
return from the summer capital at Cor
nish, N. H., delved into the subject again.
At the White House it confidently is ex-
pected that at the end Of this week there
will be tangible developments.
Lind Returns
Vera Cruz, September s.-President
wilson's representative, John Lind, and
Rear Admiral Fletcher returned here
tonight from the Vista Hermosa PLAN
tation, where they went yesterday on
the invitation of Minnesota friend.
The trip afforded no more thrills than
the knowledge Of raid on property
a few miles from the plantation on the
same night they spent there In which
bandits killed the man in charge, ap-
propriating 1000 pesos and the sight of
the body of an executed rebel on the
porch of building alongside the rail-
way.
The expedition was of Interest, how
ever, to both, especially to Mr.. Lind,
who was anxious to obtain information
concerning labor onditions. The Vista
Hermosa plantation is one Of those
properties on which contract labor is
employed. Mr.. Lind had read extern
sively of peonage in Mexico and his
visit gave him an opportunity TO inves-
tigate the system as adopted by his
friend X. M. Emery.
The number of American refugees ar
riving is slowly but steadily increasing,
and the troubles and perplexitlcs of the
American consul, w. w. Cannda, ars
increasing proportionately. Fifteen ar
rived tonight from points south and
others from the capital, adding con-
siderably to the ranks of those al
ready here from the north and west.

require to purchase a site of the same
size on the Northside within five blocks
of the point indicated.
5 We contend that 1t Is not best for the
city as a whole that business should be
confined within few blocks on the
Nort1side and the opening of these
streets connecting the Southside with the
Northside would undoubtedly relieve the
congested conditions that now exist
-. The opening of this one street would
provide not less than 500 feet of space
unGer the elevated railroads to be used for
bi siness purposes. which would bring a
handsome rental to the railroads.
New Revenue for Railroads
I'VE beg to submit to your honorable
body our firm conviction, here repeated
that the present admirable plan devised
under your direction will be seriously in
complete unless Nineteenth street is open
ed, and we earnestly petition you to
Incorporate this added feature in what
ever plan you submit to the railroads
We suggest that the railroads themselves
might consider favorably this PROPOSE
tion when reminded of the fact that they
would have at least 1900 front feet for
business purposes underneath the elevated
railroad tracks fronting Eighteenth Nine.

rents and profits which they Will receive
from these places ought to pay a suf-
ficient sum to offset interest charges on
the cost OF such an undertaking.
we believe it not unlikely that the
railroads (after due consideration of the
plans Including this proposition to open
Up Nineteenth street, will conclude that
these eminent engineers have finally
solved the grade crossing problem which
Will prove of mutual benefit to all.
The railroads know that something

lay. and In presenting this proposition
to them we would suggest that they be
reminded that the land owned by them
for warehouse and team track purposes
west OF Eighteenth street and east of
Twentieth street affords unusual facilities
for handling freight, and they should
make concessions, IL necessary, for the
general good and welfare Of the city.
I'm conclusion let us insist that there
should be no delay, compromise or hin
drance in putting into effect the plans
suggested. Let the death traps be re-
moved and tear down the barriers which
prevent the business center from spread

it naturally would have done long ago

The Housewives Corner
AS the preservation of the health

AS the preservation of the health
of millions of human beings de-
pends on the housewives of the
homes, or their assistants, it is
necessary that we understand the
remedial as we'll as nutritious ele-
ments of the different articles of
food. AS few of us have the time,
opportunity or inclination to make
an exhaustive study eff the SUBJ
ject we will mention few of the
common articles of diet with
their curative or remedial qualities.
The onion we think stands first
in the category of vegetables as a
health preserver and curative. 1t
is almost the best nervine known.
1t soothes the irnitation of the
nerves and relieves the tension
which leads to nervous breakdowns.
1t is valuable as a remedy for colds
and coughs and in such cases
should be eaten freely. Although
DIT lis not classed as "a laXatiWe's in
some conditions of the system
it has that effect. 1t is am excel
lent cosmetic, cleaning and beaiuti-
flying the complexion, but for this
purpose it should be eatne regu-
larly as often as every other day.
When this is done the clearing and
whitening effect on the complex
ion is soon noticeable.
Tomatoes are a powerful liver
tonic and aperient. They are AIN
effectual remedy for dyspepsia and
indigestion when eaten regularly
They are Invaluable in all cases
where physicians usually prescribe
cal omel.
Apples correct the acidity of the
stomach and aid digestion. They
are useful in nervous dyspepsia, in
rheumatism, insomnia and liver
trouble. They are nutritious and
vitahzing. An apple contains as
much nutrimemt as a potato, has
much more medicinal virtue and is
more wholesome. They are also
valuable for clearing the voice. For
persons with weak digestion APP
pies are more wholesome baked
than when eaten raw.
Eggs contain large amount of
nutrition in compact form and are
wholesome and Strengthening. They
are Invaluable for the sick or those
who can not take sufficinet nour-
ishment. They are more easily
digested wher taken raw but are
also wholesome when made more
palatable by being cooked.

hour.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1913-08-07

Tomatoes may be served in the
raw state in various ways. They
should be peeled and sliced in
rather thick slices. They may have
dressing of salt, pepper, and
vinegar, or of sugar and vinegar
or they may be served simply with
salt and pepper Or with sugar and
cream.

When cooking onions set cup
of vinegar on the stowe to boil
and no smell of the onions will be

will destroy the odor on the breath
after eating them.
