mitted to go out and seek work
like any other man was expressed
by his wife. who arrived here to-
day from San Francisco.
"Roy is not bad at heart and he
is not lazy" declared Mrs. Gardner.
She declared that she was not at
tempting to condone his crimes,
but she admitted that she believed
that Roy was not exactly normal
mentally. She said that he COM
mitted his first mail robbery when
he was "broke" and that his sub
sequent offenses all have been the
result Of need of food on his part.
Mrs. Gardner declared she was
confident Roy was not guilty of
the assault charge that had been
preferred against him by state Of
ficials on complaint of a young
Mexican girl.
"He may have done wrong" she
said, but he Is not capable of do
ing such a thing as that"
Roy won't go hungry" said Mrs.
Gardner. HE is not lazy and he
always has been known to be a
good worker wherever he has been
employed. 1t Is not lack of ambi-
ton that has caused his present
trouble"
Then she related the story of
their married life.
"Roy always has been very kind
to me in the five and one-half
years we've been married (although
we only lived together four years
! because of his being arrested),"
said Mrs. Gardner. 1--WE never
quarreled. He never has given me
cross word. He E ways got up
with a smile and he went to bed

RAILROADS JOIN IN
CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE
CROSSING ACCIDENTS
tBy The Associated Press.)

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 49,
Prompted by the success of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad in its
campaign of education to reduce
accidents to automobiles at grade
crossings, other railroads have en-
listed in the movement and drive
is being planned for next year that
will extend across the continent
J. T. Frederick, superintendent of
the safety department of the Bal
timore and Ohio and chairman IF
the safety section comittee of the
American Railway association, Is
making arrangements for the ma
tional campaign.
The drive, according to plans
disclosed here, will open on spe-
cific day and there will be efforts
to obtain the cooperation of auto
mobile drivers. Unlike most ma
tion-wide campaigns, there will be
no end to this one, it is promised,
for it's promoters regard it as un-
wise for the railroads to cease even
for a day their efforts to reduce
accidents of this kind.
Many railroads will follow the
plan inaugurated by the Baltimore
and Ohio of watching the grade
crossings to observe the motorists
who fail to heed the warnings to
be careful.
An estimate made by the Balti-
more apd Ohio's safety department
placed the number of automobiles
in use in the United States at the
present time at 100000. Balti-
more and Ohio records show that
per cent Of the drivers are care
less.

ILLINOIS IS A HAVEN
FOR MISSOURI GIRLS
WHO WISH TO MARRY
tBy The Associated Press,

st. Louis. Mo-. Nov. 19.-Illinois
has become a haven for Missouri
girls between the ages of IS and Fl
who wish to marry without par
entail consent.
Girls of IS are allowed by the
law in Illinois to obtain a marriage
license without their parents per-
mission. The same law prevailed
in Missouri June 20, when legisla-
ton was enacted requiring the girls
to be 81 before they could be given
licenses without the consent of
their parents.
Many girls of Missouri journeyed
across the river from st. Louis to
Illinois cities with their intended
husbands. but were refused licenses
because the Illinois officials feared
that marriages under the circum-
stances would be null in Missouri.
County Clerk Hoerr Of Belleville
asked Attorney General Brundage
of Illinois for an opinion on the
matter and the attorney general
held that, inasmuch as the Missouri
law does not specifically make void
the marriage of girl 81 without
parental permission. licenses could
be issued to Missouri girls.

WARNS AGAINST
CONSERVATISM
NV The Associnied Pl.as.l

Newport, r. l., Nov. 19.--Rear
Admiral Sims, in delivering his an"
nual address as president of the
naval war college, today, discussed
Military conservatism, referring,
he said, to that type and degree Of
conservatism (which has so often
been responsible for defeat in bat
tle and some times for national dis
aster."
1.-THE rapid development of the
submarine" he said, land the air.
plane during the war, and the con-
tinuous development of both, and
especially the latter, since the war,
have shown these powerful weapons
are still in their infancy, and that
it will require the most careful, de-
voted and logical consideration on
our part even to keep abreast OF
the developments in foreign navies,
much less to anticipate them"
Asserting that our gunnery up to
1900 was so inefficient "that an
equal force Of ships of any navy
could have inflicted upon us a most
humiliating defeat" he added:
''In my opinion we are entering
a period that may become still more
dangerous If we fail to interpret
the significance of the rapid de-
velopment of fundamentally new
weapons of enormous destructive
power and OF rela tive immunity to
effective resistance by any means
except a decisive superiority of
similar weapons.
1--WE may escape this danger in
II ture, as has so often been the
case in the past, through the SUI
perior vision of a Roosevelt, or
through the pressure Of public
opinion, overcoming the excessive
conservatism of military minds"

later sold. Then we went to Los
Angeles, where Roy had a contract
for 1000 hot water tanks. After
he finished that work Roy wanted
to make trip to Tia Juana to see

I don't care much for that sort OF
thing anyway, so told him I would

'olks there while he went to Tia
Tuana. While he was in southern
California he wanted to see Tia
Juana, so he agreed to this plan.
"In Tia Juana he lost all his
money gambling and then he COM
mitted his first mail robbery. For
that he got his first sentence of
twenty-five years. He was sem
fenced at San Diego. On the way
from San Diego to Mcneil island
he escaped from his guards.
For one year after he escaped
I did not hear from him but was
watched all the time by the Off
GERS. Then he telephoned to me at
our home in Napa. Calf. Our talk
was overheard. He wanted to see
our little girl so told him to come
to the ranch in Gordon valley,
which he did. There the sheriff
chased him in the brush but he got
away and went to Sacramento.
"A little later at Rosevilie he
robbed q train and was captured.
Then he got his second sentence of
twenty-five years at San Francisco.
As he was being taken to Mcneil
island ne again escaped but was re-
captured three or four days later
and taken to the prison. where he
stayed for two months and three
weeks, when he again escaped"
