COMM |TTEE
D|SALLOWED
DEATH CLAIM
PERSON LIVING SIXTEEN MILES
AWAY WANTED TO COLLECT
MONEY FOR DEATH OF HIS
WIFE.

One dusky individual who had COM
plete confidence in home folks" "
had his dream rudely shattered yes
terday, when he took his claim be-
fore the citizens committee for ad-
justment.
II seems he had claim for prop
erty damages that the Santa Fe ad-
justers thought too high, and after
trying vainly to effect a settlement
with him, turned the matter over to
the citizens committee for its con-
sideration. The claim department
had made him an offer of three hun
dred dollars in settlement of his
claim, but he wanted more, and
thought the citizens committee would
award it to him.
This cause came up for hearing
yesterday, and after taking a careful
inventory of the loss the committee
could not see where he was entitled
to more than $l93.45, and that was
what he got. 1t cost this party
$1,000 to take his claim into the
court of last resort.
Another party filed death claim
for the loss of his wife under pc
culiar circumstances which the COM
mittee disallowed altogether.
He stated that, at the time of the
explosion, his wife, whom it was
shown had been in bad health, was
living at her home near Baum, SIN
teen miles away. She was sleeping
on cot in the yard and it was
alleged that the force of the explosion
threw her to the ground and caused
injuries from which she died later.
The committee, after reviewing the
evidence in the case, informed the
husband that there was nothing
doing"
Several other claims which had
failed of settlement between the
claimants and the adjusters were set
tied and paid off yesterday, and the
committee is in session again today
with docket that will consume
most of the afternoon. The commit
tee has announced repeatedly that
It is going to deal justly by all parties
and no claim would be allowed by
them if they had the slightest suS'
picion that fraud was attached to IT,
The claim department up to last
night had settled 1888 OF the total
number of claims filed, and with the
aid of the committee, believe they
will have the books entirely cleared
by the first of the year, # not be-
fore.

South American Industry

The sap of the sapodilla tree is
very largely used in the manufacture
of chewing gum. The tree is cult
waited in Mexico and Central America,
and the method of collecting the sap,
called "chicle," is very similar to that
employed in extracting maple sugar.
Mexico alone in 1910 exported chicle
valued at $4,000. which will give
you a good idea of the extent of the
chewing gum industry.

you can have no IDEA of its comic
possibilities. Others of Jolson's songs
are: "When Grown Up Ladies Act
