SUCCESSFUL SEASON

.toLLfbF ClItJ II tlINJiofLo
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
The College Woman s club of Imper-
ial county has more than doubled its
membership the last year according to
the report of the secretary at the meet
ing of Saturday afternoon. 1t now has
an enrolment of over 80 with good
representation in every town of the
valley. Beginning with Il picnic din
ner in the Ell Centre park, families of
members as guests of the day, the last
meeting of the season was especially
enjoyable.
Immediately following the dinner, q
business session was called by the pres
ident, Mrs. A. P. Shibley, and all of
ficers and chairmen of standing com
mittees repolsed for the year. With
state normal schools now ranking as
teacher's s colleges giving courses lead
ing to the Il. A. defree, more of the
teachers in this county are eligible to
become associate members and many
have so enrolled.
Meetings have been held monthly,
members in each town taking their
turn as hostesses. Programs have dealt
with subjects of interest and all have
been profitable as well as entertain
ing.
Officers elected for the coming club
year are President, Miss Alice Corcor-
'an; vice presidents, Mrs. Il. Il. Bragg,
El Centre, Miss Ruth Townsend, I'm
perial; Mrs. John Parker, Brawlcy;
Mrs. Ruth Going, CaleXico; Mrs. b. M.
Gruwell, Iioltville; corresponding secre
tary, Mrs. Grace Ferrell, Calexico; re-
cording secretary, Mrs. Guy Pearson,
Brawley; treasury, Mrs. G. L. Shaw,
liOltville; chairman membership com
mittee, Mrs. f. l.. Garthwaite; FL Cen
tro; chairman scholarship committee,
Mrs. Elva Calvin, CaleXico.
There were two applicants for the
scholarship this year, each highly rec
ommended by the faculty of the high
schools from which they will be grad
uated next week. Because of the in
creased membership, the club was able
and happy to give each 500 with which
to start college education. 1t was de-
cided that hereafter this money will
be awarded, not as an outright gift, but
as loan to be paid back by the benc
ficiary when she is able to return it to
the treasury of the club to be loaned
again to some other ambitious Imperial
Valley pupil for the same purpose In
this way, it is believed many more girls
can be given the help that will make
higher education possible.
The program was short following dis
posal of business. Mrs. Shibley gave
delightful report of thesconference of
social service workers held last month
in San Diego, which she attended as
representative of the organization. The
new officers were introduced, good byes
said and the club closed its activities
for the summer.

u. S. RAILROAD IN
ALASKA OPERATING

SEWARD, Alaska, May 22,-The
government s railroad, AIS miles long,
is open and doing business.
The Alaska railroad is feat of rall-
road engineering. Great difficulties
were encountered in driving the road
from Seward on the coast, to the in
terror, at Fairbanks. The finishing
touches were put on the road in Feb
ruary.
The road is expected to yield big re-
turns, not only from the rail profits
alone, but from the fact that 1t taps
the great Alaskan coal fields. The gov
ernment will benefit greatly from the
exploitation of this land. The coal is
of a grade highly desired all along the
Pacific coast, especially for navigation
purposes.
The boast of the late Franklin K.
Lane, formerly secretary of the inter
ior, who was largely responsible for the
building of the road, was that not a
penny of graft was ever made out of
it by anyone concerned.
The cost of the road, despite noun
tain work, was only $500 per mile.

WOMEN AS JURORS
And now it seems that the reason
women have seldom been drawn on I'M
.peria county juries is because of the
old courthouse. A judge of the super
ior court is authority for this state
ment. He says the law provides that
women may serve on juries, but it is
also distinctly and plainly stated that
suitable quarters shall be provided for
them while serving. Under present de-
porable conditions, the supervisors
simply can not provide such quarters
and so have not put the names Of
women in the box where they might
be drawn. The judge stated that serv-
ice of women ON juries is desired by
the court, but that under the circun-
stances they can not be used without
possible damage suits resulting which
would prove expensive to the county.

Place Before the City

BUS DRIVER IS HELD

Joseph f. Murray of 26S East Sixty
ninth street. an eyewitness of the fatal
accident to Robert b. Roosevelt. Jr.,
thought by the police TO have been killed
by a city bus, said last night he saw a
taxicab pass over the young mans body
before the bus did.
Murray. who is a physical director of
the Yale Club said Mr.. Roosevelt stag
gered against one OF the elevated rail-
way girders and fell into the street
directly in front of the oncoming taxi
cab. He emphasized that he thought at
the zine 1t was impossible for the driver
of the vehicle to avoid running over the
man.
Mr.. Roosevelt was injured at Eigh-
tieth street and Columbus avenue soon
afer 10 o'clock last Friday night. He
died Saturday morning in Kpickerbocker
Hospital. Death was caused, according
TO DIR. Charles Norris, chief medical
examiner, by fractured skull
Murray gave his name to the police

sion 1t was taken as James Murray"

Murray has written to Mrs. Tucker K.
Sands of Richmond. Va. mother-in-law
of Mr.. Roosevelt, telling her that he saw

He said the woman who had screamed
my God, you've killed a man! J" had
been standing beside him and that he
was unaware the police had not secured
her as a witness.
So far as is known the police have
not coupled the taxicab mentioned by
Murray with the accident. A taxicab

when arrested by the police is said to
have taken a notebook anc pencil from
his pocket and asked spectators IL they
had observed a taxicab preceding his
bus.

HERE ON HER THIRD
AROUND WORLD TRIP
Miss Miller, 20, Of Chicago
Has No Fear of Bandits, Hav-
ing Gained Two in Manila.

Miss Celeste J. Miller, world traveller,
of Chicago, whose father, pioneer real
estate man Of the Windy City, was an
intimate friend of Abraham Lincoln,
arrived yesterday by the Red Star liner
Lapland on the last lap of her third
Journey in ten years around this planet.
unaccompanied except by a stout stick
resembling a cant that she guarantees
TO use on any New York holdup artist
who may take her for an easy mark.
In the first half of the trip. while she
was at Manila, two highwaymen at
tempted to take her baggage away from
her an1 she used the stick with such
muscular dexterity. despite her seventy
years. that the bandits fled with dam
aged heads and without spoil.
Miss Miller Is above the average
height of her sex, somewhat plump and
looks much younger than the record of
her travelling indicates. Forty years ago
she distinguished herself and created
record by crossing the Andes alone.
That is her favorite way of journeying
and she says she has been forty years
at it and will make merely a short stop
in Chicago before starting on another
tour. She has a record of 100000 miles
and is ambitious to make II a clean mil
lion before she quits.
Anybody who saw Miss Miller como
down the gangplank from the Lapland
knew instantly that she was in the habit
of taking care of herself. She shooed
away all persons who manifested a
tendency to be gallant. Also she dem
onstrated her system of making connac-
tions by being the first person to ge-
off the liner. She said she was no.
afraid of any man or men she had ever
met and was less afraid of animals,
particularly of the domestic sort. as sns
had been forced in her many pilgrimages
to sleep sometimes with horses. sheep
pigs ana donkeys.
Cathedrals. churches. temples and
mosques all places where the peoples OF
the world hold service, have an espe-
cial attraction for Miss Miller. She
has taken part reverently in the ser
vices of widely differing believers. and
in the course of her forty years of globe
trotting she has visited 10000 places o.
worship. While here Miss Miller will at
tend a performance of the Rose Of
Stamboul' to see If the authors have
caught the local color of the place.
