Pathfinder Out
On New Highway

San Diego, Oct. 1e-E. L. Ferguson,
noted automobile driver and pathfind-
err, reached San Diego Monday after
noon on the last leg of his journey
from Atlanta, Ga, to San Francisco.
Accompanying him on the long trip
are his wife and two children.
The trip is being made in large
REQ touring car. The machine has
withstood the test of the long 45O0-
mile journey. One feature Of the trip
is that Ferguson used only one set
of Republic Staggard tread tires and
one extra and came through with
only one puncture.
Ferguson's mission is to give pub
licity to the campaign now being
waged by all leading cities in the
southern part of the United States for
an all southern highway from the At
lantic to the Pacific. This coast to
coast highway it is planned, will De
ready for travel by 1915. The gen.
eral line of the route, as covered by
Ferguson, is from Atlanta through
Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile,
New Orleans, Beaumont, Houston,
Galveston, Austin, Waco, Dallas, Fort
Worth, Ell Paso, Deming, Douglas,
Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma and thence
over the California roads to San Di-
ego and points north.
San Diego will be greatly interested
in Ferguson's proposition, inasmuch
as the proposed ocean-to-ocean high
way will in reality end at this point.
1t is conservatively estimated that
more than 5000 tourists will motor 20
California in 1915. Travellers now
move over the northern roads of
travel through Chicago, Omaha and
Denver because that line of travel is
mapped out, boosted and given much
publicity. An all-Southern route
which would permit all the year traf-
fic would be far more popular than
the northern route with tourists.
Local organizations have been
formed in all the cities above named
under the general name of the All
Southern Transcontinental Good
Roads Association. Leading news
papers in these cities are taking up
the proposition.

MOB ATTACKS GHETTO IN
NICOLAIEFF, PILLAGING SHOPS

St. Petersburg, Oct. 16-The whole
of Russia is seething with excitement
over the "blood ritual now being en-
acted at kiev, where the trial Of Men,
del Bells for the murder of the boy,
Yushinsky, is taking place.
A movement in favor of the acquit-
tai of the accused man is growing
steadily, and reports of demonstra-
tions against the trial are being re-
ceived from all parts of the empire. {.
On the other hand, there haze been
sporadic anti-Jewish outbreaks, prob
ably instigated by the Black Hundred
A serious outbreak came at Nico.
laieff, in South Russia, where a mob
attacked the ghetto, pillaging the
Jewish shops and maltreating several
of the race. The riot, which was soon
suppressed by the police, was obvious
ly fomented by reactionaries who are
endeavoring to inflame the masses
against the "accursed Jewish para
sites who are destroying the body
polite of Holy Russia"
The Semitic inhabitants of South
Russia fear that if Bells is condemn
ed there will be the gravest conse-
quences. The popular feeling against
the race is more bitter now than at
any time for the past thirty years.
Kiev, Russia, Oct. 16-Witnesses
today at the trial of Merdel Bells
for the alleged ritual murder" of the
Jewish boy, Yushinsky, included Arch
imadrite Autonomius, high digni-
tary of the Russian church, and a pict-
uresque old beggar woman named
Volkivna.
Beiliss made his first remark since
Bells made his first remark since
the beginning of the trial when he in
terjected at one point in the Archima-
drite testimony "that is not true"
The old woman's testimony, as hith-
erto given, has proved worthless. She
is represented by another to have seen
or heard of some one who had seen
Beiliss dragging the boy away.
Volkivna, when confronted by this
witness today, declared she knew
nothing of the affair.
81 might have gossiped with her
over our yodka," she admitted.
Juliana Shalovsky, the witness who
had brought the beggar woman's
name into the case, had previously
testified that her evidence has been
prompted by the police, adding: "Ive
known nothing against Bells him.

OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
DEMAND OF THE COUNTRY

Brawley News: With the coming Of
a horde of Chinese coolies to the Mex
ican side of the Imperial valley, a
condition is developing similar to the
feudal system of the middle ages. II
is also analogous to the situation IN
the south before the war.
Statesmen and economists agree
that the ideal state is that in which
the difference in the condition of its
Inhabited is as light as possible. Far
from it is the situation in Lower CAL
ifornia. For the rich or moderately
wealthy man it is ideal. Cheap land,
chean labor and good market pro-
vided for crops. But what kind of
market would there be if Southern
California were governed under sim
liar circumstances?
Chinese laborers do not buy ex-
pensive cantaloupes, or fine cuts of
beef, or garden luXuries out of season.
And the whites would be too few to
consume any quantity worth mention
ing.
Although nearly fifty years have
nassed since the southern states were
freed from the curse of slavery, their
boundless resources have scarcely been
, touched Such must be the case
wherever such system has prevailed
The country attains the highest de
velopment and the most noteworthy
success where the average of it's citi-
zenship is high, not where culture is
represented by few and ignorance
by the many.
Desnite all it's faults and the ad-
verse Influence upon it's institutions of
the vast influx of alien immigrants
of the past ten years, the United
States still nresents amazing oppor-
tunities to the average man. Espec-
iallv is this true when COMPARISON is
made with countries like Mexico.

arduous day.
There was scant comfort for those
who hoped to hear what the impeach-

Rad of rumors gave solace. But
everybody stayed and kept on staying

Walter Herrick appeared late in the

he hadn't the slightest idea and that
he had come out simply to get some
thing to smoke.
