electors throughout the county says
that there is a "nigger in the wood
pile" and that even If the appoint
ment of a Register is deferred, the
Republicans contemplate the erection
of costly Hall of Records. In all
his speeches he points out that four
coplaisant Freeholders and one Coun-
ty Clerk can any time they wish, spend
$1,250,000 for needless Hall of Rec.
ords which would cost 100000 yearly
to maintain.
Speaking at Hackensack ON Satur.
day evening, Mr. Sibbald said:
81 saved the peoples bacon by my
bill providing for a referendum on the
registership this fall but there is no
power on Gods green earth that can
stop these five men when they get
ready to put it over, except County
Clerk that will not demand It," Re-
ferring to his Republican opponent
for County Clerk, the present Sheriff,
Jack L. Fox, he declared: Fox surely
will demand it, / surely won't"
Mr.. Sibbald pointed out that two

one-story wings communicating with
the main Court House building In
Hackensack could be added to the
rear of the same. and which in the
hands of competent architect would
completely harmonic with the pres
ent plan of the Court House. Each
of these wings would be larger than
the present searching room which is
now declared to be evercrowded. The
same could be built and fully equip
ped with the necessary racks, etc.,
for about 100000. which is somewhat
less than $1,000, 600"
"Where there's a viii there's a
way" continued the speaker; play
safe. Elect Fox and you're in for it,
there's no salvation. He will demand
Han of Records: that's part OF the
play. A Hall of Records is on the
cards: land has actually been bought
on which to erect 1t, and 1t will be
put over when you are not looking;
and, besides, there is no appeal from
the decision of four Freeholders and
one insistent County Clerk"

Robert A. Sibbald, Democratic candi-

created, only to resign 1t and compel
the legislature to repeal the bill for

After running down Ernest Alyar-

Paisano street, a well-known San An
tonic man, now a state official, was
thwarted in his attempt to flee from
the scene by an angry crowd of spec

Though he succeeded in driving
away, his automobile was surrounded
two blocks from the scene of the acct
dent by an angry crowd.
Detectives Higgins and 1.-Two, re-
turning to the station from another
call, were attracted by the crowd and
rescued him from the threatening
mob.
Alvarado was struck by the automO-
bile when he stepped into the street at
Smith and South Laredo. Without
even retarding the speed of his ma
chine, the official continued on his
way.
The youths injuries were painful
but not serious. He was taken to the
Robert B. Green Hospital in the police
ambulance.
The detectives booked the official for
drunkenness and failing TO stop and
render aid.
After remaining in Jail for four
hours he was released on hnbeas cor

W. W. McCrory of the Ninety-fourth
District Court by his attorney, Dave
Watson.
His bond was set at $500, which he
made.

ing the wonderful possibilities in that
country, Mr.. LAWN told delegates to
the convention why American COM
panies should enter the Mexican field.
Mr.. LAWN spoke for more than an
hour, thoroughly explaining to the in
surance delegates the workings of the
Mexican laws on that subject.
The first law governing insurance

insurance companies and encourage
foreign companies to enter the field
and establish business in Mexico.
Thirteen companies were organized
and operated in Mexico at that time,
Mr.. LAWN said. Then most of them re-
tired. leaving only two Mexican COM
panies in the field.
Recently, Mr.. LAWN said, several
foreign insurance companies, including
number of American firms, have an
nounced their intention of renewing
their Mexican business, in accordance
with the Mexican insurance laws.
EXPLAINS LAWS.
At the present time, Mr.. LAWN ex-
planned. there is 4 new law governing
insurance organization. having been
enacted on May %, 1910.
Its requirements are that the COM
panies must establish branches or
agencies. first proving their solvency,
and must make a deposit Of 100000.
This deposit will be returned after the
second year of doing business.
All companies also must furnish re-
serve covering premiums on all policies
in force.
Exploitation of business, embracing
insurance in Mexico at the present
time" Mr.. LAWN said, "offers broad
opportunity for foreign companies who
may wish to engage in any line Of in
surance in accordance with the present
law"
TWO IN FIELD.
Now. he said. there are only two
Mexican companies operating. But
their operation has been successful.
They have had a total income. Mr..
LAWN said. of more than 100000
pesos during the yea 1924.
Disasters entailing losses amounted
to more than 100000 pesos.
New business amounted to almost
10.jOO,000 pesos.
Insurance in force amounted TO-
more than 22.000,000 pesos.
Investments made by the two com
panies had a value Of more than
4. 100000 pesos.
They have a lega- reserve of more
than 100000.

SPY
GINGER GIRL
DIES IN n. !.
Vampire Of Confederacy,
Friendless, Finally
Surrenders.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia dare
devil spy in the Confederate army
when a lovely girl in her teens"
Miss Virginia B. Moon, 81, died here
friendless and alone in her dark
Greenwich Village apartment.
Her death was brought to light yes
terday by w. J. Baer, an elderly
artist friend of hers, who read a
death notice describing her as a
veteran actress.
His investigation resulted in the
revelation that Miss Moon was found
dead last Friday by Mrs. Martha
Sawyers, a Texas stained glass de-
signer, who lived on the first floor. :.
The body was cremated Sunday and
friends will send the ashes to her
home in Memphis.
KNOWN AS AGNOSTIC
Mrs. Sawyers said she knew the
woman, who was known to half the
Southland as Miss Ginger, only as
an agnostic who had no fear of death,
smoked innumerable cigarettes and
boosted of the IA bona-fide proposals
she had spurned when a southern belle
apd Confederate spy.
Baer produced a sheaf of letters
from Miss Moon to him dating back
to 1902.
She told of carrying morphine and
dispatches through the Union lines and
twice wheedling her captors into re-
leasing her with merely warning.
She wrote that she was first ar
rested in Cincinnati in 1868 by =.
Kemper, one-time General Grants
chief of staff.
The letter is replete with the names
of Federal officers who yielded to her
charms and let her go.
DIES A REBEL
"She died as much rebel as ever"
said Oliver Jones, husband of Miss
Moons niece, who was Virginia
Warner, an actress.
She showed letters from Jefferson
Davis commenting Miss Moon, the
"Ginger Girl" for extraordinary hero
ism in behalf of the Confederate
cause.
Until six years ago Miss Moon
lived in Memphis.
Then she was in the movies IN
Hollywood in character parts.
She came to New York to live
year ago.

Tor. 1t has become a question of "a

Statistics prove IT," says Thomas

Maybe it's because home-coOked
food is safer than haphazard diet.
Say what you please about marital

Yet it is the married man who in
variably carries insurance, the single
man who scorns il. Mortality has
steadily decreased in this country dur

cause of public health education-the

As Mr.. Blackburn talked of men
who insure their lives for millions
of dollars-one man, an automobile
manufacturer, has policy for So
OO0, 0O0-it seemed a far cry back
TO the very first insurance, carried
by the Egyptians when they stored
their corn in barns for the seven lean
years of Joseph's dream. Then there

merchants of ancient lands would bar
gain or wager with their friends to
nav their families so much indemnity
unless they returned from journeys in
caravans or on foot, by certain time.
HOUDON FIRST
The first American policy ever
written was made TO Houdon, the

said. "Houdon was coming from

The purpose Of life insurance has
