GARRISON FOR
CHIEF JUSTICE
0FNEW JERSEY
RumOr That Gov. Fielder
Will Ask Hin. to Sue
ceed Gummelp.
WAR SECRETARY TIRES
OF WASHINGTON LIFE

For several days report has been
quietly circulated In Jersey city that
Lindley NJ Garrison was likely to re-
turn to New Jersey and to his adopted
city. a. he had become tired OF official
life az Washington
Tho rumor merely limited a. the fact.
which Is that II the Secretary OF War
comes home now 1t will be to accept the
position Of Chief Justice of the supreme
Court Of New Jersey. In place OF Chief
Justice William s Gummcrc.
1t is known that Gov. Fielder has had
Secretary Garrison under consideration
and favorably; and IL is said that he
has hcsitated 10 offer the place to Mr.
Garrison only because OF the fear that
he may be adversely criticised for max
lug the Supreme Court too one sided
politically.
1t is also know that Secretary Gar
rison has been sounded by some OF his
friends. and is said to be willing to give
up his place In the Cabinet and return
to the practice of Law just as soon as
President Wilson Is ready 70 release him
Further, the Secretary is reported to feel
that he made a serious mistake two
years ago in giving up vice-chaucel-
lorship. the work OF witch was so con-
genial
Again IT il reported that Secretary
Garrison is not so appreciative OF the
activities and influence OF Secretary Nc
Adoo as to dread retirement from tn.
Cabinet. though his devotion TO the
President is well known.
Official and social life in Washington
is expensive. and Secretary Garrison is
poor man. vino likes 10 live well and
10 entertain generously. Twelve thou
sand dollars a year will go further in
Jersey City than N Washington

Time for ThtnkinG u over.

The term OF Chief Justice Gummoie
will not end until November i6, he hav-
ing been originally appointed To- nj a
prospective vacancy to be caused by the
Iesignation of Chief Justice David \
Dcpue
That would give Secretary Garrison
eight months in which TO close up the
affairs Of his Department and the Presi-
dent would have ample time In which
to choose new War Secretary Nj
Gummere would also have opportunity
to make new plans.
1t IL believed that the Governor is the
more inclined to listen to the urgiugs Of
his party leaders In the State Just now
because OF the fact thar in not single
important appointment that has thus far
been made by him have they been con-
suited
Quite recently some of his Hudson
county political friends have been talk
ing plainly. An important campaign is
coming on next yenr. In which the GOV
ernor may be Hudsons choice tor the
United states Senate. and he has been
reminded that he will need the active
and earnest support of the state leaders,
The campaign is supposed to b. now
fairly under way. but the organization
has 80 little power that according to
rumor. IL has been unable Ia get any
contributions from the many office hold
ers In response to a strong appeal for
funds TO meet headquarters expenses
Chief Justice Gummere's last reap
pointment WAS made on January 22,
1905, almost Immediately after Gov
Fort was inaugurDted The fact that
Gov Fielder has postponed action for
two months Is taken as evidence that he
is seriously and favorably considering
Secretary Garrison for the succession.

MAN INJURED WHEN
TEAM RUNS AWAY

Herbert Nicholson, driver of an ex-
press wagon in the employ of the
Pioneer Transfer Co., was seriously
injured Saturday when the team he
was driving took fright at Southern
Pacific engine. Nicholson was picked
up unconscious and rushed to st.
Thomas hospital for treatment 1t
was stated this morning that the at
tending physicians considered his
condition very good, but hospital at
taches were unable to say whether
he would recover.
Nicholson drives the wagon which
carries the outgoing mail each even
ing, and in order to get as near as
possible to the mail car which stops
farther up the track to avoid block
ing Main street, he drove the team
between the Holton Interurban track
on the west and the S. P. train on
the east
The team became frightened,

these factions for the purpose of rem
dering the MeXicali administration
practically poWerless to thwart any
revolutionary propagandas which
might develop on this side of the line.
That Governor Cantu and many of
his staff have both political and per
sonal enemies on this side of the line
is generally understood. 1t is also re-
ported that some of the personal en-
emies are embittered to a degree and
that even now plans are under way
for the gathering of an army by a
leader who is seeking revenge against
the MeNicali administration.
That the administration of the
MeXican town is aware of this state
of affairs is said to be highly proba-
BILE and the telegram to Governor
Johnson may have been part of a
carefully laid plan to prevent a mis-
carriage of the plot through the Car
ranzista leaders falling into the hands
of the MeXicali officials.
The only exchange of prisoners and
which is really not an exchange, but
deportation by the United States,
is said to have been practiced ocea-
sionGlly by u. S. officials at Calexieo
in instances where MeXicans with
criminal records have ventured onto
this side of the line. In those cases,
the MeXicans are said to have been
simply forced to return from whence
they came.
In view of the fact that Mexico is
not recognized by the United States,
eXtradition is an impossibilty, and
the only way that authorities can
hope to apprehend a fugitive who
has fed across the line is to wait for
his ceturn. Wherefore. 81 awlE q.
situation has arisen from the inability
of this country to eXtradite from
Mexico, which will probably not be
relieved until Mexico is again recog-
nized by this country.

SEELEY HAS
UNION CHURCH

The people of Seeley, one Of the
newer towns of the Imperial valley,
have solved the church union prob
lem entirely to their own satisfaction.
Here the members of eight different
denominations, including Methodlsts,
Congregationalists Presbyterians,
Disciples, Quakers, Baptists, Episco-
palians, have adopted a platform that
is broad and simple enough for all to
stand on. The church is not connect
ed with or dependent on any denomi-
nation for support.
The present membership is rs. Meet
ings are held in the auditorium of the
school house. The Sunday school is
Virile organization. The choir has
never had "fuss." A piano and or
chestra aid greatly in the music. The
communion service is observed
monthly.
George A. Ragan, a business man
of FL Centre, is the acting pastor.
He was attracted by the desire of the
people of the community to work out
a practical Christian union. The work
is self supporting. All the people
working together gives them unusual
moral influence in the city and elm
mates the usual difficulty of church
finance. They always have all the
money they need for any purpose and
the work seems to be a joy to each
member.
M. Lee, city clerk of Imperial,
filled the pulpit Sunday as Mr.. Ragall
was away on his vacation. Outside
business men and some ministers are
impressed with the possibilities OF
the movement as an aid to bring about
practical union of churches, especi-
ally in small communities.

for the American women's help and
that she needed two hundred shirts

Calling her friends of the American
colony together, Mrs. Pace immedi-
ately put her working rooms into a
state of activity. Part of the work is
given to the wives of mer who have

And Mrs. Page, with typical Amer

Among Mrs. Pages assistants who

wife of the naval attachc, Mrs. jaw,
