Society" Woman Who Set Her
Home On Fire Is Saved From
Prison By Judge W. N. Seufert
Amazing Crime COndoned by Judge, Jury aud Prose-
cutor for Mitigating Circumstances Case Excited
Vide Attention Everybody Felt Sorry, That's All,
for Good L0oking Well dressed Woman.

Mrs. Marion C. Merrill, of Has
BRONX Heights, who was three weeks
ago convicted in the Hackensack
courts for attempting to burn her
home, escaped a prison sentence late
last Friday afternoon, being fined
$3.50 by Judge William F. Seufert.
Though near physical collapse be-
fore sentence was pronounced Mrs.
Merrill seemed overjoyed at the
knowledge that she was not to go to
Jail and sat quietly down between her
lawyers w. B. Mackay, jr., and James
De Turck.
"The sentence of the law in your
case is that you be fined $3.50, $500
of which is to be paid at once. You
will be placed on probation for SIX
months in order to pay the balance. .
Such were the brief remarks OF
Judge Seufert, who seemed glad to
end the very unpleasant task before
him. :. -,
Prosecutor Thomas J. Huckin did
everything possible to gain lenlency
for the unfortunate young woman
even though he did everything ne
could in way Of his duty to get a
conviction. He called the courts at,
tention to the fact that the Merrill
fire occurred during he afternoon on
a summers day-so different from
the usual arson case. The Prosecutor
also told the Court that no criminal
instinct was displayed by Mrs. Mer-
ril and he said there were mitigating
circumstances which the Court could
we'll consider.
"The Jurors who convicted Mrs.
Merrill have signed a petition asking
for clemency, and l understand the
Mayor and Council of Hasbrouk
Heights rs we'll as other officials IN
that town, are sending a petition to
the Court asking for lenlency,' SAID
Prosecutor Huckin.
Lawyer Mackay made brief plea
to the Court stating the high esteem
in which Mrs. Merrill had been held
in Montclair before coming to Has
BRONX Heights, and of the numer-
ously signed petitions in Hasbrouk
Heights where she had lived but SIX
months.
Mrs. Merrill was convicted about
three weeks ago after bitterly con-
tested trial. It was shown that he1
home was found afire few minutes
after she had left in an auto for
Montclair.
Fire Chief Demarest testified that
seven or eight distinct fires had been
started in different parts OF the
house.
Mrs. Merrill was former favorite
in social circles in Montclair. Her
husband, Jack Merrill, was pro.
moter of mining interests. He failed
in business and his partners lost a
lot of money. Mrs. Merrill left him
and since last April has been living
with her two little daughters at Has
BRONX Heights.
Many petitions were numerously
signed asking the court to be lenient
with Mrs. Merrill.-Record

Triangle Club Loses
To Edgewater Team

The Triangle Club Five were de-
feated last Saturday evening by the
Edgewater Church team in hard
fought game on the latter's court,
the score standing 22-18 at the close
of the second period. The two
teams have met twice and have each
a game to their credit.
Beckmann, who played center, was
as usual, the star of the game, and
netted many fine field goals besides.
featuring the game with his ability
to break up team work in guarding;
George was somewhat weak on foul
shooting, being only able to secure
one point out of many chances =,
Borgstede, who played right guard
for the Triangles, is to be congratu-
lated upon his fine work as he was
instrumental in holding down the
score, of the Edgewater team. Tins
is Herman's first year as basket
ball player and he is rapidly improv-
ing.
Lane, Woolcott, and Cole all played
a hard, consistent game, and were
the scorers of most of the points.
Lane, who plays left forward, is
somewhat poor on shooting just at at
present, but it is hoped that he will
again "get back" his eye. Woolcott
was also somewhat weak at shooting
but played his usual game, mixing
in here and there, and breaking up
opposing plays.
The star of the evening was a
young college player who, played
forward for the Edgewater team.
About fifteen of the twenty-five
points were made by him, and he
was especially good on guarding, al
though playing the opposite position.
His fast work and fine shooting was
the undoing of the Triangle Club
team. It is hoped that deciding
game may be arranged, and later an
nouncements will appear in these
columns.

Reunion At Dodge City

There seems to have been
some difficulty between the Of
ficers of the Southwestern Vet
erans' Association and the Conn.,
mercial Club of Dodge City. Let
the following, taken from the
Dodge City Kansas Journal, ex-
plain the situation:
The Old Soldiers Reunion for
Dodge City this fall is a certain
ty. This is the result of several
meetings and conferences with
the officers of the Southwest
Veterans Association held this
week. The dates are from Tues
day the 18th, to Friday the 18TH
of September, inclusive.
The difficulties existing were
started toward a solution when
score of business men met at
Felkeps Inn Monday noon at the
| invitation of R. S. Crane and
considered the reunion question.
The outcome of the meeting was
a committee appointed consist
ing of DIR. C. A. Milton, Sam
| Stubs and r. S. Crane who were
empowered to confer with j. A.
Arment, secretary of the asso-
citation, and arrange for the pay
ing of the deficit between what
the city has in the treasury and
what the association demanded
before they would, consider put
ting on a reunion at Dodge City
this fall. There was difference
of S153, half of which was raised
at the luncheon and the rest is
being subscribed now. The COM
mittee called upon Mr.. Arment
and guaranteed him the money
he asked and as a consequence
ne consented to having the re-
union with the mutual consent
of R. M. Painter, president OF
| the Southwest Reunion Associa-
| ton and also head of the Kansas
department at Topeka.
It was first thought that there
would be some trouble in getting
the tents for the grounds, but a
telegram received Wednesday
night from Mr.. Painters secre-
tary says, the tents can be pro
cured for Dodge on the dates
chosen.
The only question yet to be
settled is whether Mr.. Painter
will call the reunion at this time,
but some of the business men
who have talked to him lately re
mort that he will Immediately do
so if the money is turned over to
the association as requested. The
money is forthcoming, so the re-
) union is a certainty.
Trouble arose between the city
commission and the officers OF
the Veterans Association last
wear when the commission at
tempted to convert the money
belonging to the association to
other than its original purpose
In a suit over the fund the as.
ISOLATION secured judgment. A
motion for retrial was to have
been heard August l, but was
postponed to give the CONNER
cial Club of Dodge City chance
to bring about a settlement OF
, the difficulties. :,

pending in court will be called

Bid Farewell To
Year and Saloons

The new year was ushered in
very quietly in Ashland, Only two
church bells were rung and the rail-
road whistles, which generally awak-
en- the echoes with discordant blasts,
were silent Several watch parties
were held, but the streets were quiet.
Someone shot off a couple of bunch
es of firecrackers and another well
coined the baby year with a six
shooter.
No small proportion of the male
population journeyed to Medford Fri
day evening and bid farewell to the
saloons and the year 1915 together.
Medford witnessed quite a joyous
time, all of the liquor houses doing
a rushing business and cleaning up
most of their stocks. A celebration

Electric Company
RuShes Work on Dam

The California Oregon Electric
Power Company, who are supplying
electric current, wholesale, to the
city of Ashland, has force of men
working night and day on its dam at
Copco, Cal, on the klamath river, in
an endeavor to get all of the work
above the high water mark before the
spring rains cause the river to rise.
This dam will be an important
piece of engineering and will form an
immense lake OF hundreds Of acres,
covering some valuable farms the
company purchased from the resi-
dents. It is estimated the entire cost
of the work will be in the neighbor-
hood of a million dolalrs.
The company is going into the
wholesale manufacture of current on
an immense scale and intends to en-
large their plant to meet the demands
of all of northern California and
Oregon as necessary. Elec-
trio motors are fast taking over the
burden of pumping water for irriga-
ton, running mills and all of the 9TH
er labors formerly performed by
steam.

Oregon Second in
New R. R. Mileage

Fewer miles of railroad were built
in the United States during 1915
than in any other year since 1854,
and more miles of railroads were in
receivers hands during the year than
ever before, according to railway sta
tistics compiled from official sources
by the Railway Age Gazette. There
have been only three other years
since 1858 in which the increase in
railway mileage was less than 1000
miles, and those were the Civil War
years 1861, 1862 and 1864.
In 1915 the total miles of new
railroad constructed in the United
States were 933 as compared with
1882 in 1914 and 9,O71 in 1913.
The largest mileage of new road in
one state was built in Pennsylvania,
which constructed SO miles. Oregon
was second with SO miles, and Wash
luBlOH luliu VIII nillOo' lHiONSh
states built no new road at all. Can
adian roads built 71S miles of new
track as compared with 1878 in
1914, while in Mexico 36.5 miles
were built as against none recorded
for 1914.
Oregon makes good showing for
the past year, but should far eclipse
the amount of SO miles of newly con-
structed railroad, in 1916. The Coos
Bay road will be completed, the
Grants Pass-Coast railroad will add
a few miles of track, the Roseburg
railroad to the proposed sawmills
will probably be well along, and
there is an imminent possibility of
the Strahorn eastern Oregon railroad
being partly built during the year.
