ELIZABETH, Dec. 5.--For the cfle-
bration of the 25Oth anniversary
of the settlement of Elizabeth,
the citizens of this city are al
ready at work. and the various COM
mittees have shown an enthusiasm
which promises great things for the
occasion. Major Victor Mravlag start
ed things going by naming a commit
tee of one hundred. of which Charles d
Doctor is chairman. Mr.. Doctor was
chairman of the committee on the in
dLstrial exposition given last Febru-
airy by the Elizabeth Board of Trade.
Nineteen subcommittee have been
named by Mr.. Doctor, eighteen of
which comprise seven members each,
and one-the reception committee
fifty men. So the original committee
of one hundred has already expanded
to nearly 200 names, and as each COM
mittee is empowered to add to it's own
membership, persons best qualified to
give it assistance in its own depart
ment, it may well be predicted that
the whole city will, within a compare
lively short time, be busy with the
preparations.
Historical Pageant.
The committee on historical pageant
plans the reproduction of many of the
famous episodes in Elizabeth's history,
and Elizabeth is rich in these, as it
was here that the first permanent set
tlement was effected and the first seat
of organized government established
in New Jersey. The original bounda-
ries of Elizabethtown. as included in
the land decided by Staten Island In
dian chiefs to the settlers on october
2S. 1864, extended south to the Raritan
river and west to the Passaic river.
For this land the settlers gave a few
bolts of cloth, coats, kettles. lead,
powder and sundry trinkets.
The committee on historic relics
has already begun to canvass for ma
terial which will be displayed with
the proper classification in some suit
able place, and Miss Anna Belcher
1919 Grove street, secretary of the
committee, is DESTROYS of learning the
whereabouts of relics which may
properly be displayed, including fur
niture, silverware old china, crock
cry, old firearms, books, manuscripts
in short. anything which will be
reminiscent of Elizabeth's early his
tory. All of these loaned articles are
to be temporarily stored in Eliza
heth's firep -. library building pend
ing their dis..,-ay next fall. The time
set for the celebration is the las
week in October, but this exposition
of relics may begin before and extend
after that time.
A committee on invitations to dis
tinguished guests has been organized
which will invite national and Stat
officials, and 1t may be that som'
of the descendants Of the origina

SAYS GIRL DENIES
MAKING AFFIDAVIT
Former Minister, Now in State
Prison, Not AbsoIved, Says
Trenton Official.
Ispeclal to the Newark start


MOUNT HOLLY. Dec. 5.-Denial
was made yesterday by Rev. j. C..
Stock, superintendent of the New
Jersey Children's Home, at Trenton,
of any affidavit, said to have been
made by Viola Falls, the fifteen
year-old girl who was the cause of
the conviction Of Rev. George d.
Higgins, the aged Methodist minis
ter. MI. Stock announced yesterday
that he had talked with the girl and
that she had denied making any
statement. duplicating a youth, whom
she had met before being adopted into
the household of Rev Mr.. Higgins.
The affidavit supposed to be in the
hands of Robert Peacock, counsel for
the clergyman, will be presented, to-
gether with a petition signed by 500
prominent citizens of Burlington
county, at a meeting of the State
Board of Pardons to be held in
Trenton next Tuesday. According to
Mr.. Stock, the girl has denied hav-
ing talked with anybody since 1911,
when she made the affidavit and told
her story to c. B. Williams, then SUI
of the children's home.
In the State prison, at Trenton,
Rev Mr.. Higgins told how he had
adopted the girl from an orphans
home and had brought her to his
home. Later she wrote a letter to
Mr.. Williams which caused him to
begin an investigation and eventu-
ally brought about the clergyman's
conviction and sentence to a thirty
year term in prison.
Mrs. Higgins expressed hope that
the affidavit would free her husband.
1.-THE expectation that he will be re-
leased is all that is keeping us
alive" she said. "Only a few days
before the conviction of my husband
we received word that our oldest son
had died. The only thing I am living

One Result Of U.
S. Trust Busting

1t is often said that there are no
tangible results of the United States
efforts at trust busting and break
ing up of combines. j. S. Jordan
called the attention of the reporter
a few days ago to one thing in which
the action of the United States courts
has saved the people of the United
States thousands of dollars monthly.
This is in the matter of electric
lamps. The 6O-watt Mazda, which
before the United States brought suit
against the electrical combine sold
for $1.25, now sells for 60 cents, and
all other sizes are reduced in proper
tion. While this seems a small item
on one lamp, on the thousands sold
every day in the United States it
means much. .,..

Good Showing at
Cub Bear Mine

The Cub Bear mine, owned by the
Siskiyou Syndicate, in which a num-
ber of Ashland people, including DR..
Swedenburg, Mrs Susie Allen, E. b.
Hunt, and others, is making fine
showing. A recent copy of the Sum-
nit Lookout, published by L. E.
Yockey, formerly of Ashland, con-
tains a report of visit to the mine,
which contains pleasing reading for
the stockholders. Mr.. Yockey made
the trip on the rear end of a motor
cycle from Weed and says the trip
was strenuous, but he feels well re-
paid. Recent statements in other
California papers show that the Cub
Bear, which adjoins the famous
Highland, is making good. A mill
will be installed in the near future.

Him.

El Paso, Texas, Sept. S.-Before
Lieutenant f. Acosta, an officer in
General Salazar's federal command
at Juarez, crossed the Stanton street
international bridge Saturday he re-
marked he was going to kill a grim
go" He was killed by United States
Cuctom Inspector r. F. Jonah and
immigration Inspector Thomas n.
Heifrin, after he had opened fire on
them with a rifle on the American
side of the international boundary.
Acosta was shot through the mouth
and arm, and his horse, from which
he had dismounted, was shot through
the side. The American officials
We're uninjured.
Heifrin was standing at the Amer
lean end of the bridge when Acosta
first opened fire on him. He fired
back, using his automatic pictol.
Jonah fastened to his assistance and
began firing at the Mexican. Acosta
was within 80 feet of the Americans
before he was killed.
Mexican officers at Juarez tried to
stop Acosta from crossing the bridge
before his invasion, but he threat
ened to shoot any one who interfered
with him. The Mexican officers said
Acosta had been drinking, and after
he was killed bottle of Mexican
,whiskey was found in his saddle
bags.
q Acosta came to Juarez from Chi.

days ago. The body is being held in
El Paso. Heifrin and Jonah were
arrested and released on $1,000
bonds.
Two troops of the 18th cavalry
were ordered to the bridge following
the shooting, in order to restrain
1000 MeXicans who had gathered on
the Mexican side of the bridge Bit
ter feeling against Americans was
manifested in Juarez by Salazar's

Siskiyou Highway
Beeklnan'S Dream

1T has been one of the desires of
my life to see a fine highway over
the Siskiyous," states c. c. Beekman,
pioneer banker of Jackson county
and for upwards of half a century
one of its leading citizens. Ever
since / conducted the express office
at Jacksonville in the early sos and
carried millions in gold over the
mountains for the argonauts, l have
looked forward to the time when the
two states should be permanently
linked together by trunk highway.
The old trail of pioneer days served
its purpose long ago and the toll road
which followed it has also had its
day. The time is ripe for the COM
ing of the real highway, one that
both county and state can be proud
of, and one that will provide a fit
ting entrance into the most beauti-
full valley in the county that is the
gateway to the finest state of the
northwest.
The road bonds TO be voted upon
September offer businesslike and
practical method for highway con-
struction. l am heartily in favor of
the improvement and sincerely hope
the bonds will carry.
&c. C. BEEKMAN."

CAMINETTI is GUILTY sl2,OOO,OOO is DAMAGE
Jury So Finds on One of Four
Counts in Trial Under White
Slave Law Friday.

San Francisco, Sept. S.-Guilty on
one count of violating the Mann
white slave act was the verdict and
finding Friday against Drew Cami-
netti, Oldest son of the commissioner
general of immigration.
The jury in the federal court was
out three hours and took eight bal
lots. From the first the vote stood
ten to two for conviction and finally
the two agreed to compromise by
finding Caminetti guilty on only one
of the four counts. Ten thousand
dollars bail was furnished as soon as
the verdict wa sannounced.
Sentence will be pronounced next
Wednesday, the date set for the SEN
fencing of Maury Diggs, jointly in
dicted with Caminetti and convicted
on four counts. Counsel for the de-
fense will appeal from Judge Van
Fleets rulings in the case.
Caminetti took the verdict lightly,
smiling forced smile and nudging
his brother jocularly. His mother
and wife showed no emotion, sitting
with lowered heads looking into their
laps.
The four charges against Cami-
netti were:
1. That he aided in the trans
portation of Lola Norris from Sacra-
mento to Reno for immoral purposes.
2. That he aided in the transpor-
tation to Reno for immoral purposes
of Marsha Warrington.
8. That he persuaded and enticed
and aided in coercing Lola Norris to
leave her home and accompany him
to Reno.
A. That he so aided in persuad-
ing and enticing Marsha Warning
ton, Maury l. Diggs companion, in
leaving Sacramento for Reno.

Ashland Vegetables
Attract Attention

That Ashland can furnish better
fruits and vegetables than can be
raised south of the Siskiyous is be-
coming more and more apparent
every day. Ashland has for some
time been supplying green corn for
the Southern Pacific dining car SER
vice, and another proof of the super
iority of Ashland vegetables and
fruits was shown a few days ago.
Superintendent Metcalf of the Shasta
division of the S. P. was here with
his private car and chanced to visit
the Ashland market. He was so we'll
pleased that he not only bought the
entire load of one farmer, but bought
a large amount from Others, all Of
which he had the farmer deliver at
the depot for the use of his official
car Shasta. He said he tried to buy
out the entire market, but the car
would not carry it ALL
