Dear Sire-
Enclosed / am sending you
a copy Of a letter written to
Col. Charles Lindbergh by
Mrs. Julia B. Tubbs a valued
friend and one time neighbor
of mine in Sank Centre, which
/ thought you might like for
the Herald as you have kindly
mentioned her on severul o.
casions.
She is one Of many grand
pioneer women of the Missis-
sippi valley whom it has been
my privilege to know.
Sincerely,

Los, Angeles, CAL,

Captain Charles Lindbergh
Washington, D. C.
Ny dear Captain,
SiXty-seven years ago,
through the window of our
little log cabin on the from
tier prairie at Sank Centre,
Minnesota, / saw men from
the saw mill come running
toward rly doo-. They told
me that Mr.. Lindbergh from
the neighboring community
of Melrose had just fallen on
the saw and had severed his
right arm. Our home mis-
sionary, Rev. Harrison, was
giving first-aid, and wanted
something in which to wrap
the suffering man while they
carried him sixty miles to a
doctor.
The new pieced quilt
brought from far away
Maine, by a little homesick
bride, was devoted to this
service.
When we later heard of the
recovery of our neighbor and
his brave efforts to complete
his log house, in spite of the
loss of his right arm, we
were cheered and inspired to
greater efforts ourselves for
those were the days when the
struggle was hard for all of
us, even with two arms.
Now again in these twilight
years, / am ninety-three-
comes new cheer from this
same family of Lindbergh.
And again l am rejoic-
ing that it was my quilt
which enwrapped the brave
grandfather of this brave boy.
"To him that overcometh,
God giveth a crown"
Very sincerely yours,
Mrs. Julia B. Tubbs,
4512 Venice Blvd.
Los Angeles, Calf.

 This was the proposition they were going to put up to General Andrews?"
 NO. sir." replied Briggs, "as I understand 1t the proposition had already been made through this MT. Wilson"
 Briggs testified that early in Oc- tober. 1925. he was asked by Rob- ert H. Sims, of the coast guard boat 126. if he wanted to make s20.000 by letting certain coast guard boats collect graft from rum schooners.
 He at first declined. he said, but the next day changed his mind and agreed to work for Sims. Shortly afterward. he testified. he was given $500. which, he said, he turned over to r. H. Young. his superior officer. In all he turned over $1,200 to Young, he said.
 Earlier in the day Frederick C.. Assmua, former coast guardsman on the patrol boat 129 and one of those under indictment. pleaded guilty.

S0UTHBRIDGE, MASS, HAS DISASTROUS NIGHT FIRE
Property Valued at S160,000 Is De- stroyed-Fiye Persons Saved
 From Death.

Southbridge. Mass. Jan. 13 Up- After several hours fight, fire which started late last night in the Blanchard Brothers building in the heart of the Main street business district was brought under control early this morning but not before help had been summoned from Webster 1S miles away. and dam- age estimated at s160.000 had been caused by the flames. Five persons were rescued.
 The fire. one of the most disas- trous that this town has had in years, was still smouldering at day light. The Blanchard block was virtually destroyed but the damage was confined to this building, al- though during the height of the fire the Edwards building nearby was threatened and roof fires which broke out on other struc- lures throughout the night gave the f1remen concern.
 The five persons rescued included a cripple and an invalid.
 The fire is believed to have started from an overheated fur mace. The several business firms in the block suffered extensive losses. and there was damage to the Blanchard theater. located in the building.

ANDREWS AMUSED
 BY GRAFT STORY
Accused by Witness of Taking
 Money From Rum Men

New York, Jan. 13 R-Brigadier General Lincoln c. Andrews who Is in charge Of prohibition enforce ment, Is amused by story that he has had a financial interest in a rum running scheme.
 The fact that the story. attributed to a rum runner, was told on the stand in federal court by an under cover' agent in the trial of a rum ring led to speculation today as to whether the rum runners had been deceived. Te
 Samuel D. Briggs. former coast guardsman and rum runner but now an under cover" agent, testified in the trial of Frank and Edward Cos tello and others in federal court yes terday that he had been told by Philip J. Coffey, one of the defend- ants. that General Andrews was in- terested in liquor schooner which was to net him $10o.000 year.
 General Andrews in Washington last night said he knew nothing of the story. He declined to take it seriously and laughingly remarked that his only connection with rum rings was Ito get them all in jail."
 General Andrews name was brought into the testimony when Briggs told of luncheon with Cof- fey on November 1, 1925 at the Hotel Mohican. New London, Conn.,, when he said he asked Coffey about two men who had come to New London and were believed to be gov- ernment agents.
 Andrews is Mentioned
 During the discussion at the luncheon" Briggs testified, "Coffey told me not to worry about these two men. Wilson and this associate of his: that this MT. Wilson was Gen. eral Andrews personal representa- tive. and that they had the schooner Athenia and the cargo was owned jointly by his people. the Coffey peo- pie. and General Andrews, or Gen. eral Andrews representative. and explained that after all expenses, overhead, etc.. had been paid Gen. eral Andrews share of the transac- ton would amount to approximate ly s2.00o."
 They were going to give General Andrews s2.o0o?" Briggs was ask ed by Assistant United States At- torney Hitchcock.
 "Yes." Briggs answered, but he told me that after they once got started they planned to make a trip each week, as there are 62
