WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Abra-
hap Lincoln s son--Robert Todd
Lincom-now in his Send year, is
failing in health.
The doors of the quaint old col
onial house where he lives with his
wife and servants are closed to all
except his most intimate friends
and behind them he passes his de-
clining years in seclusion as order
ed by his physicians.
Lincoln S major activity is cor
responding with historians and pub
hcists who write him to inquire de-
tails of his fathers life. In. this
he is keenly painstaking and has the
aid of one of the most complete
collections Of books and documents
on Abraham Lincoln i'll the world.
The bearded old man, the last
living link with the great cmanci-
pator, is very modest about his he
ritage and his own career, which
included IA cabinet post, four years
as minister to England and high
places in the business world.
His mind is still very alert and

ROUNDUP NETS
l6 VACRANTS In
LOCAL BASTILE

As a result of n roundup of
Migrants by the city police, Is men
were booked before Judge White
law in the city court this morning.
Due TO the fact that today is a
legal holiday, no court was held,
and all cases were continued until
tomorrow. The court has not been
in session for several days, because
of the absence of Judge Whitelaw,
who was called to Los Angeles by
the death of his father.
The men booked this morning
gave as their names, Juan Ortez,
Ramon Valdez, Reynato Ramereg,
Vailo Camacho, r. Pima, Reyes Ro-
nero, +. Diaz, Frank Little, John
Welch, Gilbert Quintero, +. Bozino,
John Para, Warren Kennedy, Pc

Since the roundup was made,
there has been noticeable de-
crease IN the amount of petty thiev-
cry and robbery, which infested the
city for the past several weeks.

CHAMBER HEADS
OPPOSE EFFORT
TO REOPEN LINE
Two Petitions of Wide
Variance Being
Circulated

Determined opposition to any
change in the closing hours ut the
international line, was expressed by
the directors of the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce at the week
ly meeting last night, and by reso.
luton, the secretary was instructed
to send telegram to Congressman
Swing, assuring him that the cham
beF will support him TO the limit
in keeping the present closing hours
in force.
Two petitions, one seeking to
have the line close ut 6 O'Clock,
and another asking that all restrc-
tions be removed, are now being
circulated throughout the valley, it
was stated at the meeting. The Iii
rcctors believe that as the 0 clock
closing has proved to b" satisfac-
tory, any attempt 10 change 1t
should be discouraged.
On the request of the Riverside
Chamber of Commerce, the directors
endorsed n resolution asking the
state legislature TO declare the an
nual Riverside Fair :, state fair for
Southern California.
The directors also endorsed q bin
into the United States
senate by Senator Cameron of Ari-
zona, asking that grazing fees in
the national forests, be omitted
during 1925. Due to the hardShips
generally experienced by cattlcmen
last season because of the drouth,
it is the belief of Senator Cameron
that the government should assist
the cattlcmen by eliminating the
fees.

RIVERS IN EAST
ARE ON RAMPAGE
By United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Melting
snow sent rivers in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, raging to
flood stage today. Increasing cold
in some sections was expected to al
leviate the situation before night
fall.
The Delaware river was at flood
stage in New Jersey as was the
Raritan and highways along the lat
ter were impossible, while several
bridges were likely to 90 out unless
the waters abated.
Persons were taken from their
homes in boats at Dolgville, n. Y,
when the East Canada creek flood
ed its banks and an ice gorge form
ed.
The Allegheny river was on a ram
page and the Baltimore and Ohio

since his retirement in 1916, he
has remained Il member of the board
of the Pullman Company, and Chi
cago banks.
Inveterate Reader
He reads widely-dailv papers,
magazines and books, the latter
chiefly history, biography and
memoirs. He is especially interest =
ed III English papers and books
which remind him of his days there
as a diplomat. He shakes his head
over the changes that have come
over England since his friend,
Gladstone's 's day.
Lincoln has never written n his
tory of his father and probably
never will. His reason is that he
collaborated with Nicolai and John
Hay, who were Abraham Lincoln s
secretaries in the white house, and
told them all he thought ought to
be published.
He ranks Nicolai and Hay above
everything written of his father
though he has helped many others
and admires some of their work.
Before he injured one leg, he was
ardent golf player. Astronomy now
monopolizes his spare time, as his
hobby.
This absorbing avocation has
made him very particular on the
subject of time. For years he has
had all the clocks in his home set
daily by United States naval obser-
vatory time.
Lincoln s last public appearance
was at the dedication of the Lin
a coin memorial in 1922.

raj years. She has been extremely
active in church, club and social
