W|NSLOW MAN HEIR
TO NEW YORK ESTATE

For many years the decendents of
Annekke Jens> BOgarius have been
Waging battle in various courts to
recover property and land on Man
haitian Island valued at more than
$3.50, ,0000 900.
Mr. Geo. Tobey, formerly of India
ma, and now residing in Winslow, is
one Of the many heirs to this estate.
The geneology Of the heirs goes
back to the time of Williams, Prince
of Orange, who was the Grandfather
Of Annekke Jens, an ancestor of Mr..
Tobey.
The property consists of 1872 acres
of land on Manhattan Island. The
title which Annekke held to these
lands was confirmed by the Dutch
Governor Van Twiller in 1886 and by
subsequent grant of the Dutch Gov
ernOr Stuyvesant in 1854
1t seems that trouble arose with the
Indians. Annekke became frightened
and taking her family, she fled to
Albany, then known as Beverwyck.
Finally New Netherlands, (New
York; passed into the hands of the
British The English Governor confir-
med these titles also and the heirs
of Annekke held the lands until 1870.
During that, agents of the Trinity
Church masked and blackened thier
faces, and with many acts of barbar-
ity, deposed the heirs by physical
force and since that time have held
the property.
The winning of this suit by the
heirs, would make millionaires of
some several hundred persons in the
United States.

soIute necessary to prepare for them
by hard work if they are made sue
cessful. He mentioned some things
on which to be- careful, among them
the matter of refreshments. He said
refreshments and a blowout" now
and then was all right but that they
should not get the idea or put the
idea into the minds of the people that
they must have refreshments at every
meeting. Another thing he said that
was important, namely, set time to
begin and get there and begin on
time. And the biggest function of all,
he said in closing, is to inculcate the
spirit Of fair play He said the lack
of fair play was a crime. Let US
see, he said, that every yellow
streak is driven out of the teaching
profession, but let us do it by fair
play. Work together with the teach
ers. If they are not all right weed
them out, but do it in the spirit of
fair play,
The High School girls served re-
freshments consisting of coffee and
little fruit cakes which they had
made themselves Everyone present
enjoyed the refreshments as well as

II FROZEN TO DEATH IN N. M. ST0Rl
BraWley ShoW is
Opened In Third
Annual Exhibit

With an exhibit of valley pro-
duets that amazed all who visited
them, the third annual Mid-Winter
Show opened at BrawIey yesterday
and will continue for the next three
days, being brought to close Sat
urday night.
Some idea of the growth of this
affair can be obtained when it is
recalled that the first exhibit two
years ago, was confined to a few
chickens and farm products. a small
store room was sufficient to hold all
the exhibits. Last year the exhibits
required a tent in addition to Il vac
ant store. This year, three large
tents, covering several acres of land,
have been packed with exhibits of
all sorts until every available inch
of space has been taken.
Included in the exhibits are poul-
try, stock, cattle, field crops, citrus
fruits, dates, and practically every
product that is raised in the valley.
The exhibits have been tastefully
arranged and the committee, which
has been working for several weeks
in preparation for the occasion, de-
serves great praise for its work.
Ell Centre Men There
The MidWinter Show has devel-
oped from a purely local affair to
one that is representative of the en-
tire valley and bids fair to increase
in size and variety III the coming
years.
James T. Coyle, secretary of tho
FL Centre Chamber of Commerce
who has had considerable experience
in directing shows of this kind, went
to Brawley this morning, and viii
remain there during the time the

SPRACUE SENDS
SPACE PROTEST
TO. COMMISSI O N

Another blow in the scrap of I'M
perial Valley lettuce shippers versus
the railroads on the compulsory
standard refrigeration matter was
reported today by Farm Bureau Di-
rector l.. G. Lee.
That Walter H. Sprague, the Los
Angeles traffic attorney represent
ing the valley interests, is using
plenty of punch in his blows was ey-
ident when Lee received Il copy of
formal protest and three page
complaint forwarded by Sprague to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
at Washington.
This protest, which was AN elabor-
alton of that telegraphed by Sprague
several days ago and reported in the
Press, objects to the new paragraph
in the porishable protective tariff
which is an attempt on the part of
the railroads to force standard re-
frigeration charges.
According to Sprague's opinion
and that of local shippers who are
vitally interested in the matter, this
is simply a second attempt of the
carriers to gain their ends, and is ex-
actly the same issue upon which the
commission has granted a suspen.
sion until March 10. Sprague pro
tests against this new paragraph be-
ing put into effect before the date
of the expiration of the suspension
granted, following the Los Angeles
hearing.
