WARRINGTON GIRL
CONTINUES STORY
First Witness Called BY State
Today at Trial of
Diggs.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Mar-
witness today in the trial of Maury
I. Diggs, charged with violation of
the Mann act. She continued her
story of yesterday of how she in
company with Lola Norris. Drew
Caminetti and Diggs, slipped away
from Sacramento to Reno, New, in
hope of avoiding local notoriety and
stirred UP scandal which developed
into an affair of nation wide interest
and entered the halls of Congress.
The customary hundreds gathered
in the corridors before United States
District Judge Van Fleets court and
trailed in a long waiting line into
the street, where they took the sunny
wall of the federal building, it being
rather chilly in the sheds.
1t was not alone for Miss Warning
ton that the crowd took its slender
chance of admission to the small
courtroom, The next witness ready
to be called was Lola Norris. whose
schoolgirl hair ribbons and srnootblv-
moulded face gave the impression
that she was considerably the Young
er of the two. Her story in essen
tials, it was expected, would be much
like that of Miss Warrington, al
though the latter testified that Diggs
was the more active in some of the
quartets preparations which she
described than Caminetti, with whom
the Norris girl fed
what did Caminetti say?" asked
an attorney once when Miss War
rington was explaining how the men
had labored to persuade the girls
to leave home,
HE didn't say much." she replied.
"He lust agreed"

DEBATE TERMINAL
FRANCHISE TINE
Board of Works and Public
Service Differences Laid
Before City Counsel.

After a conference lasting more
| than two hours today between the
| members of the Board of Works,
representatives of the Public Serv-
ice and the engineers who are work
! ing with them on the proposed sub
way and terminal propositions the
| problem was further from solution
than ever. This was manifested
| when John l.. O'Toole, general pub
licity manager for the Public Serv-
| ice, stated that in accordance with
| the terms of the law, counsel for the
company did not believe the city had
any right to limit the number of
! years for which the franchise should
| be granted.
This statement Immediately met
with strenuous opposition from the
commissioners and resulted in the
matter being referred to City Counsel
James r. Nugent for a legal opinion
in the matter on motion of Commits
sioner Charles F. Kraemer DR..
Kraemer pointed out to Mr.. O'Toole
that Mr.. Gilmour, of counsel for the
Public Service, had stated at previ-
Gus conference that the company
would be willing to submit to a
limitation of seventy-five years and
asked what had caused the sudden
cnange OF opinion.
Mr.. O'Toole replied that Frank
Bergen, general counsel for the cor
portion, had given it as his opinion
that the city had no right to place
any limitation on the franchise and
that it involved a nice legal question
upon which he was not qualified ia
speak.
Commissioner Charles p Gilleu
was of the opinion that the courts
should pass on the legality of the
| proposition before any action was
taken. 1t was at this juncture that
DR.. Kraemer's motion to refer the
matter to City Counsel Nugent was
carried.
At the very outset Chief Engineer
Norris r. Sherrerd raised the con-
tention that while the law provided
for the construction of the subway
it did not provide for the operation
of the cars, and expressed the opinion
that the company would have to ap-
ply for a separate franchise for this
matter. This was also referred to
Mr.. Nugent for an opinion. Mr..
Sherrerd then brought UP the matt ,r
of the limitation of the grant and
spoke of making it fifty years. This
brought from Mr.. O'Toole the re-
joinder that if such thing were done
ShN company anu tilt DOdIu WOulu
not get anywhere in their delbera- =
tionS.
The opinions of e. p Goodrich, en-
gineer to the City Plan Commission,
and Philander Belts, engineer to the
Public Utilities Commission, on the
subway and terminal propositions
were heard by the board, after which
the scheme was generally discussed
1t was agreed to meet again tomor-
row morning at II o'clock, by which
time the legal opinions on the points
in controversy are expected to be in
writing.

ENVOY LIND VISITS
MEXICAN MINISTER
Tells Object of His Mission,
Disclaiming Intention to
Interfere.

WASHINGTON, Aug 13.-Dis-
patches today to the state department
from John Lind, personal representa-
tive of President Wilson in Mexico.
described his visit with FREDERICK
Gamboa, Mexican minister of foreign
relations.
While officials here declined to dis
cuss the dispatches, it was understood
on good authority that the conversa-
ton extended beyond the mere for
malities of a social call
Senior Gamboa and Mr.. Lind talked
briefly about the situation. and while
Mr.. Lind did not reveal entirely the
purposes of his errand he Is declared
to have set at rest rumors that he was
coming to interfere directly in Mexi-
can politics.
The general understanding in off,
cial circles is that Mr.. Lind had inti-
mated that the American government
would continue to oppose recognition
until a constitutional election was
held.

lar TO Jersey City.
Especial to the Newark star.I

K1NGSI.AND, n. j., Aug. 13.-Al
though the proposition was carried
only by a majority of twenty-five
votes, citizens of this place are today
elated over the fact that commission
form of government is to replace the
present form. The election to de-
eide on the question was held yester-
day. The total vote Of the township

Dissatisfaction over the manner in
which business was conducted by the
present administration resulted in the
move for the commission government.
1t has openly been said that the ma
iority of the members of the present
body are public dictators rather than
public servants. The committee is
composed of three members, James
McKenna, chairman; George Smith
and Arthur A. Clay. The two first
named are relatives
A prominent citizen of the town
ship said today: This movement was
not started to change the government
form so much as 1t was to rid the
township of its present officials. I
am satisfied none of those now in
office will be reelected"
Freeholder James Anderson will be
candidate for one of the commits
sionerships, and ii is said to be a
foregone conclusion he will be one
of the successful men in the race.
which will be held a month hence.

INSANE PHYSICIAN
VV|SECTS PATIENT
Opens Cheeks and Th.soat Be-
fore Horrified Nurse Brings
Help Too Late.

MARIETTA, Ohio, Aug. 13.-With
the commitment to Long View Asy-
lum in Cincinnati today of DR.. Will
lam r. Dabney. there has come to
light one of the most remarka ole
chapters in medical history.
Not until the crazed surgeon had
undertaken to perform yiv!section
upon patient was 1t realized by the
attendants in the operating room
that madness was directing the hand
with the scalpel as it sought TO un-
cover vital organs.
DIR. Dabney entered practise in
Marietta about fifteen years ago. He
made a speciality OF eye. ear ana
throat operations
For several months previous to his
mental collapse and the startling
revelations of his condition, rarely "A
day passed that he did not perform
two or three difficult operations.
1t was the death on the opera ting
table of an aged and wealthy farmer,
Jacob F. Schaad. that brought DR..
Dabney's career to a climax. Schaad
had a humorous growth en- his upper
Jaw. He consulted DR.. Dabney %nd
was assured that minor operation
would remove the diSfgurempnt
Besides DR.. Dabney and the nurse
there were present when Schaad
lapsed into unconsciouaness nder
the influence of an anasthetic, DIR. c.
b. Ballard and DIR. j. B. Penrose.
As DR.. Dabney proceeded with the
knife the two surgeons detected that
there was something wrong and both
began to demonstrate. DR.. Dabney
became angry and ordered them from
the operating room.
When the two doctors had left, ac-
cordng to the story of the nurse who
had remained trembling beside the
unconscious patient, DIR. Dabney be-
gan to dissect the face and throat
of the unconscious Schaad. Both
sides of the face were laid open and
deep incisions made in the throat.
But the skill of the mad surgeon was
shown in the dexterity with which
he avoided inflicting a fatal wound
on his living subject.
How far the crazed surgeon would
have proceeded with the dissection
cannot be told, for the Mortified nurse
ran shrieking that DIR. Dabney was
killing his patient. Her cries brought
Drs. Ballard and Penrose. with sew
eral of the hospital attendants, to the
rescue. and DIR. Dabney by this time
raving maniac, brandishing his
scalpel over the unconscious living
subject, was disarmed and subdued,
after a desperate struggle.

HUNGRY RAVAGERS DIE
FROM FEAST ON RAT CAKES

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Aug. 13.-R. W.
Glendinning, son of a former mayor
of Salt Lake City. arrived here yes
terday from Mazatlan on the steamer
Benito Juarez and gave a vivid ac-
count of the recent sacking of the
city of Durango. He told of the
plundering of a grocery store in
Durango, which had in stock some
cases of rat biscuits. Half-famished
after their long tramp many of the
looters devoured the poisonous bis
cults and ten of them died that night.
Fearing that the water supply had
been tampered with the rebel leader
ordered his men to drink only boiled
water. The next day a woman ped
dler, visiting the looted grocery,
found some of the rat biscuits. These
she sold to all who would buy. Sew
eral more deaths occurred and the
commander of the insurgents sent
for her and questioned her. Having
thus traced the death of his men to
the biscuits, he Summoned the grocer.
The latter, an aged Mexican, showed
him the biscuit boxes properly marked
with the poison warning of skull and
cross-b bones. The plea was unavailing
and the old man was placed standing
against the wall of his store and shot.

WATCH FOR |. v. v.
LEADERS ON TRAINS
Minot Police vigiIant to Pre-.

Speech" Question.

MINOT, N. D., Aug. 13-Every in
coming train was being closely
watched by the police today to pre-
vent possible influx of Industrial
Workers of the World. several of
whom arrived late yesterday and last
night to aid in the battle for free
speech, which has been waged here
since last Saturday, and which has
caused serious rioting and nearly one
hundred arrests.
The meeting which the I. w. w.
threatened to hold last night was
frustrated by rain. The leaders also
are said to have been somewhat dis
heartened by the action of authori-
ties in rounding up a band of fifty
nine of the workers and marching
them nine miles from the city, in
structing them not to return.

FARMLAND GORED
BY BULL MAY DIE
Animal, Enraged, Attacks Man
in Barn in Maple
wood.

Enraged because he could not reach
his fodder, a huge "blue ribbon bull
on the Collingwood farm at Maple
wood, attacked Fred Mathes, a farm
hand, last night, and tossed him
abdomen and breaking three ribs,
Farmhands, hearing the injured
mans cries, rushed to his aid but
were awed by the snorting bull,
which tossed its prey about.
In last desperate effort the farm
hands secured a large emergency fire
hose in the barn nearby and turned
a stream on the animal. The bull
turned on its tormentors and at
tempted to rush them, with head
down,
The terrific force of the water,
however. was too much for the bo-
vine, and spluttering and splashing
it backed away, and was driven into
an empty COW bin and secured.
Then the farmhands turned their
attention to the man, who lay writh-
ing in pain on the floor of the stables.
He was covered with blood from
wounds in his head body and legs
and was in a half unconscious state.
One of the farmhands 'urned the
hose on Mathes, while another
rushed for the farm automobile. The
injured man was wrapped in blankets
and bundled in the automobile and
hurried to the Orange Memorial
Hospital, where it was found his
abdomen was factured, three ribs
were broken and his left leg was
badly gored.
1t is feared that he is otherwise
internally injured, and the hospital
authorities hold out very little hope
for his recovery.
The Collinwood farm is situated on
the Ridgewood road. in Maplewood,
and is owned by Edwin II. Hatch, a
wealthy New York stock broker and
banker who makes hobby of breed
ing prize cattle, and particularly
bulls and steers
Mathes. the injured man. is 46 years
old and has worked on the farm n
number of years
The bull hooked his horns IN
Mathes's BODY and tossed him about
the stables at will. 1t became so en-
ragged after its first attack on Mathes
after it had tossed the man out of
reach that it pulled the ring from
it's nose in its anxiety to further in
ture its prey.
The animal which attacked Mathes
is said TO be a favorite OF Mr.. Hatch,
and was n prize winner wherever ex-
hibited. 1t had always been gentle,
the farm hands say, but probably be-
came enraged because it could not
reach the hay.
A veterinarian was called in to at
tend to the animals injured nose,
where the rings was pulled through.

RATABLES JUMP
S42, 4OO,29S IN
SPAN OF A YEAR
1913 Figures for City VIII
Total $394,26S,4S0, Despite
Prudential Withdrawal.
PROPERTY VALUES GOING
UP AROUND FOUR CORNERS
Rate for 1913 Is 2.05, One
Point Increase-Poll
Tax Is $83,262.

Showing an increase of approXi-
mately SAP, 400, 29S, over last years fig
ures, the total ratables for Newark
upon which the tax levy for this year
will be based, were today made pub
lie by the Board of Assessments and
Revision of Taxes.
This year the authorities have found
1894, ,26S 4S0 in taxable properties, as
against 1888 .S64 1872, for last year. On
the face of these figures the increase
is about so, 400 29S, but the $32, coo, 600
tax on the Prudential deferred divi-
dend fund which was set aside by
the courts IS not included in this
years total, making the increase
about SAP, 400, 29S
On thes figures ii is estimated that
the city tax rate this year will be
about 1.37, slight reduction from last
year which amounted to 1880. The
estimated county rate of 10 was made
on the assumption that this city's rat
ables would reach over $4OO 900 600.
In view of the fact that the ratables
total only 1894, ,26S, 4S0 the difference
will materially effect the county rate
and in all likelihood the latter be at
least .73 instead of the estimated fg-
ure. This will be an increase OF
about points over last years rate
which amounted to .6640.
Rate May BE 2.04.
The city rate, it is estimated, will
be very close to last years figures,
204. 1t may be, however, that the
rate will jump one or two points,
but IT is not expected to go any
higher than that. 1t is figured that
any increase in the city rate, from
present indications. will be due en-
tirely to the large increase in the
county rate.
It is estimated by some authorities
