1--WE, the undersigned citizens of Es-
sex county and your constituents re-
spectfully urge you to take whatever
means. measures and methods may
be necessary to cause a thorough,
careful and painstaking investiga-
ton and examination into the con-
duct and management of the New

insurance with special reference TO
the time consumed In the matter OF
the RoseviIle Trust Company and the
alleged discriminatory practises and
the general collusive agreement with
the former stockholders and directors
and a full investigation into the de-

Tells of Revival of Race
and National Prejudices

Following the annual meeting Of
the New Jersey Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution, held Sat-
urday afternoon in the New Jersey
Historical Society building, dinner
was held at the Downtown Club in
the evening, at which an address
made by Bishop Edwin S. Lines was
the feature. John Leonard Merrill
the newly elected president, was
POSTMASTER.
Bishop Lines drew attention to the
fact that none can live upon the repu-
tation of their forefathers. especially
in this country. He advised that at
tention be not too firmly fixed on ma
terial prosperity.
"A strange revival of national and
race prejudice is under way" said
Bishop Lines. This prejudice is go
ing to make trouble and break up our
unity. We should rise above it" An
other interesting feature of the din
ner was the original poem read by
DR.. Lyman whitney Allen

WOMAN "SQUEALS"
ON HOLD-UP MAN
Arrest on Saturday Brought
About by AccompIice's
Confession.

But for the betrayal of his alleged
accomplice, James Regain, thirty-siX
years old, arrested here Saturday on
a charge of highway robbery, might
still be at large Information as to
his whereabouts was given the police
by Mrs. Gussie Gersner, twenty nine
years old, of Trenton, who was ar
rested by the Elizabeth police early
Saturday.
Regain, it became known today, was
released from the Trenton State
prison a year ago, after serving a
sentence of eight years for highway
robbery. His most recent alleged Of
Tense is the holdup and robbery of
Emil Mascot, saloonkeeper of Sec
ond street, Elizabeth, where Regain
and two others are said to have got
ten $345. Although he denies the
charge, Mrs. Mascot has positively
identified him as one of the men who
took part in the holdup of her hus-
band.
When arrested Mrs. Gersner wore
a costly set of silver fox furs and was
otherwise extensively attired, She
told the police she was married, but
had been estranged from her husband
for the past four years. She said she
had a son twelve years old
Prior to last August Regain and Mrs.
Gersner are said ythe police to have
lived in South Park street, Elizabeth,
for period of six months. They
moved suddenly and the police later
learned they went to Philadelphia,
later to Trenton and afterward TO
this city.
Mrs. Gersner was picked up on sus-
picion by Elizabeth officers Saturday
and taken to headquarters, where she
was questioned. At first she denied
all knowledge of Regan's where
abouts, but afterward told the police
he was living in Newark, The local
authorities were informed and with
the assistance of Lieutenants Ryan
and Farrell, of police headquarters,
the alleged hold-up man was located.

Paris, Sofia, Madrid and Rio de

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-News Of
the Forthcoming transfer of Sir Lionel
Garden from Mexico City was re-
ceived with mild surprise In official
and diplomatic circles here There
were, of course noofficial expressions
from administration sources. Prosi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan the
only officials who would speak on the
subject, were away.
Sir Lionel, however, first became a
figure in the relations between the
United States and Mexico when, upon
his arrival in Mexico City, just after
Huerta had imprisoned many depu-
ties and proclaimed a practical die
tatorship, he presented his creden-
tials His action was construed In
some quarters as virtual recogni-
ton of Huerta and his action. Sin
Lionel commended, however, that
Huerta had been recognized provi-
sionaliy previous TO that by his home
foreign office. His action, none the
less, was not regarded as favorable to
the attitude of the United States.

BRAZOS COUNTY WILL
BUILD GOOD ROADS
This Is Belief Of Committee Who Are
Receiving Encouraging News and
Letters From All over County.

Thai public sentiment has changed
and the bond issue will carry, is the
belief Of the good roads committee
who are endeayorlng to furnish the
voters with the salient parts of the
present bond issue.
The principal objections to voting
bonds have been met satisfactorily TO
all that have doubted the wisdom OF
an affirmative vote heretofore.
It has been found that 80 per cent
OF the people are In favor OF building
up our highways and when II is shown
that the money will be spent wisely,
roads made permanent and properly
distributed, those in charge Of the
work are honest and sincere, then the
objections are removed and the bonds
will carry.
Many who have previously opposed
a bond issue are now working 20 get
the bonds carried and many letters
of encouragement have been receiyeG
by this committee in behalf Of the
bonds.

Good Roads Committee, Bryan Tex.
Gentlemeu--l am in receipt of your
favor OF the 10Th instant, in regard
to the good roads bond issue. II Is a
matter of sincere regret to me that !
will have TO be out OF the State on
the date OF the election, for would
rather vote for good roads than eat
the best New Years dinner that was
ever served!
Brazos County needs the bond issue
and the good roads that the bonds will
build, and needs them badly. ! have
been in States where they have good
roads and have seen many a farmer
haul more to town with a one.horse
wagon than We can haul In this county
with a six.mule team. II We get good
roads every farmer In this county will
save enough IN horse feed the first
year to pay his increased taxes @
dozen times over am also convinced
that good roads will increase the
value OF farm lands IN this county q.
least 10 per cent for the next five
years.
The good roads committee is to be
complimented on the frank and open
manner in which Il is stating the facts
OF the case to the voters OF the county.
Very truly yours,s

Brazos County II il could be gotten

roads this wood could be Gu. and

II it could not all We sold in Bryan
and College it could be shipped to
other markets. We find thousands of
cords Oh this wood going to waste
every year because It Is impossible to
haul it to\marked on account Of bad
roads. The farmers who own most
of .h's wood could cut and haul It
during the wet SPELLS of weather when
they could not work in their fields,
and every dollar that they made out
of wood would he a clear gain, for as
the lands are cleared up large ma
jority of the wood is burned or let
rot on the ground or sold to people
who cannot afford to give anything

present roads. Then TO think Of all
the other ten thousand, conveniences
of good roads. When we live in the
country and get sick we want doc.
tor right now, but we would get
mighty uneasy II some of our folks
were very sick and the doctor had far
to come over these roads as they are
now. Then to think OF how much
easier 1t would be to market our
crops, especially when we are going
to diversity. II would greatly increase
the production of everything besides
cotton. especially dairy and poultry
products. With good roads II would

would bring more good people into
the country; they would buy this land

There are thousands of idle acres in
Brazos County that is doing nobody
any good. If the people had half the
whipping that the teams get on ac-
count of bad roads we would come
through with over $4,000 a mile all
over the county Then in ten years
we would have a great deal more in

On January 4. 1909. after some
years in private life his remarkable
legal talent was needed by the state
and he was recalled to enlist again
in the public service. receiving the
appointment of Assistant Attorney
General of the State. He so distin-

in 1912 he was elected Attorney Cen

but that Mr.. Smith is one of the best
qualified men for this position and
as he is engaged in working out many
complex and unfinished legal cases
just at this time it would be the best
policy to re-elect him to the office he
holds. He has accepted the nomina-
