The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1932-03-04

With the years, the four parents
sickened and died; there were fright
ening illnesses among the children,
drought came and pestilence among
the cattle, but in the main, the good
overbalanced the i'll. Drought passed,
pestilence lifted, the children throve
and the beauty that was Helen's rip
ened, bore its fruit, and oh, so gently
declined.
The same with Blair. His heftiest
years reached their peak, his broad
shoulders carried their heaviest bur-
dens, and slowly, almost imperceptibly,
the years marched down. So imper-
ceptibly that Helen, who had not felt
her body wither, awoke one day to the
shock of realization that was almost
more than she could bear.
Lydia, her lovely child, her little
child, her little girl, only yesterday
with plaits down her back, was be-
trothed. There was nothing one could
say, because it was right that she
should be. The youth was fine up
standing one of her position and kind.
They were clearly, rightly, in love.
They were of age. Helen and Blair,
gazing with amazement upon this
phenomenon which had befallen them,
were the older generation, looking
down the years at the love Of their
young ones. A rather quiet Helen,
with gray in her hair and eyes that
smiled more often than her lips; a
quiet, undemonstrative Blair who came
and went without much ado, and up
on whom the years had climbed, whit
ening his hair and bending his back
little.
Remote, little gray, little luster
less, they seemed to Lydia and the
boy, Roy, who came asking blessing.
So old, so finished, as it were, so dear,
too, but pale silhouettes against the
pale, unexciting, uninteresting back
ground of age. Across this chasm, the
youth of Lydia and Roy looked at Hell
en- and Blair and back across this
chasm Blair and Helen found them
selves looking at their daughter.
"Blair, were we at their age ever
as callow. as adorably foolish and out
side the meaning of life as Lydia and
Roy seem? How can two such shall
low little pans contain happiness?
How can they know the rich, sweet
things of life that we know? How
long they must wait. dear! In way
it seems sad to be so young. :"
Across the chasm, Helen and Roy.

First Modern English Poet

Reuben Post Halleck says: Before
Chaucer's works English was. as we
have seen, language of dialects. He
wrote in the Midland dialect, and aid
ed in making that the language of Eng
land. Lounsbury says of Chaucer's
influence: No really national language
could exist until literature had been
created which would be admired and
studied by all who could read and TAX
en- as model by all who could write.
IT was only man of genius who could
lift up one of these dialects into pre-
eminence over the rest, or could ever
give to the scattered forces existing in
any of them the unity and vigor of
life. This was the work that Chau-
Ger did, For this reason he deserves
to be called our first modern English
poet. At first sight. his works look
far harder to read than they really are.
because the spelling has changed so
much since Chaucer's day."

Inventor of Post Cards

1t was on the suggestion of an Aus
trian, Doctor Hermann. that the post
card was born. He had advocated the
introduction of cards about the size
of an envelope, to be carried at re-
duced rate. the sender to be limited to
a maximum of 20 words, including
signature and address. This was in
1869. The idea was quickly adopted
by the Austrian post office, and other
postal authorities followed suit, in
Guiding Great Britain. where the post
card was introduced in October. 1870
But. unknown to Doctor Hermann,
the post card was suggested, years be-

Truth About Octopus

The octopus is found In tropical
seas near coral reefs. Some forms
spread their limbs IL or IA feet like
great spiders and might, under fav-
orable circumstances, hold under wa.
ter persons whom they had seized
until they had drowned, at the same
time biting them with their horny
parrotlike jaws; no doubt such acct
dents have occasionally happened TO
pearl divers and the like. Ordinarily.
however, the octopus does not attain
one-half these dimensions and mary
species have bodies no longer than an
ordinary pear.

All-Time Holiday Time

Some employers of France are try
ing the experiment Of spreading vaca-

been suggested by some employees,
when the weather was not so hot as
to prevent the full enjoyment of the
time. There is much to be said for
and against this scheme, but some EN-
ployers argue that it is much more
convenient to have few away at one
time rather than several, as has been
the case heretofore. Others claim thai
there is not much business in the heat
ed term. and therefore the assistants
can be spared best at that time.

ASSESSED VALUATION SLASH
WILL BE URGED BY ASSESSOR

this county will be based, Weir
stated, on their present day price
and the taxpayer will be assessed
accordingly. Assessing begins the
first Monday in March.
Uniformity of procedure in the
percentage of assessment was ad-
vocated and will probably be con-
sidered by the board of equaliza-
ton, various counties assessing at
different percentages. Imperial
county is assessed on the basis of
so per cent of the assessed valua-
ton.
Another important matter dis
cussed was the lowering of the tax
burden shouldered by the land
owner and various means of asses
sing intangible property, such as
stocks and bonds, were discussed
and legislation to that effect is
anticipated Members of the tax
payers league appeared before tfe
convention to discuss this point
and also the problem of tax dodgei

support of the state government.

was unusually important and tina

in ultimate benefit to the taXpay'

HEIRS TO LARGE
ESTATE SEEKING
TO BREAK WILL

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 80. UP
Dora C. Lankershim today filed an
action in superior court to join her
brother, John l. Lankershim, in a
contest of the will of their father,
Col. j. B. Lankershim, Los Angeles
pioneer whose estate was valued
at 100000.
Like the contest filed by her
brother, Miss Lankershim's suit at
tackled the will on grounds that
Colonel LankerShim was not OF
sound and dispoSing mind at the
time it was executed and that the
document was not actually signed
by Colonel Lankershim, and was
not properly executed. 1t further
alleged the father was unduly in
fluenced by his nurse and compan-
ion, Fred Melville Foster, to whom
Colonel Lankershim willed one
tenth of the estate.
Colonel Lankershim died in a
Brooklyn, N. Y, hospital last Oct
ober IA. The will was dated only
II days before his death.
In a will dated March 90, 1929,
the colonel had left the bulk of the
estate to the son and daughter
who asked in their contest that this
prior document be recognized.

NEW YORK, Jan. 80. U.P-The
President Roosevelt, one of the
great passenger liners of the United
states lines, was rammed and
seriously damaged while at anchor
today off quarantine in a pitched
fog, by the big italian liner, Roma.
No one was injured.
The President Roosevelt sent out
message by radio Immediately
after the collision advising that
plates were ripped and buckled on
the port quarter above the water
line.
The coast guard base picked up
the message of the collision. The
Roma was not aware of the identity
of the ship other than it reported
the accident. 1t also sustained
damages above the water line
serious enough to compel it to put
back to port for temporary repairs.
None was injured on the Roma.
The coast guard dispatched a
cutter Immediately on news of the
collision.
The fog which hung over the
harbor was reported lifting slightly.
The Roma left at p. m. Friday,
bound for Mediterranean ports. 1t

DEFENDANTS IN
INSURANCE CASE
WIN BIG POINT
Court Indicates At Least
Eight Demurrers viii
Be Sustained.

Their first legal clash resulting
in an apparent victory only slightly
dampened by one reversal, defen-
dants demeurrers to at least eight,
ty grand jury for alleged fraudulent
insurance deals in Imperial Valley
today were returning to Los An
geles, while their attorneys prepared
to submit briefs to Judge Lloyd E.
Griffin of San Diego, presiding
here.
Judge Griffin this morning indl-
Gated he would uphold the defen-
dantS' demurrerS to a tleast eight
and possibly more, counts listed in
the grand jury indictment, and di-
rected attorneys to submit briefs
only on the question of whether the
indictment must be referred back
to the grand jury for amendment.
A motion to quash the indictment
was denied by Judge Griffin yes
terday afternoon, after several
members of the 1930-31 grand jury,
now dismissed, had been called as
witnesses. District Attorney Elmer
w. Heald also was called to the
witness stand by defense attorneys.
who contended he and his deputy,
S. l.. McCrory, used undue influ-
ence on the grand jury in securing
the indictment.
Counts which Judge Griffin indi-
Gated will be effected by successful
demurrers allege conspiracy to conf
NIT grand theft and conspiracy to
violate the corporate securities act
of California. Other charges in the
indictment allege grand theft and
criminal conspiracy. Demurrers
will be sustained on technical
grounds.
1t was after IL o'clock when
Judge Griffin directed attorneys TO
submit briefs.
Long Hearing Foreseen
! Should Judge Griffin, by his de-
cision, order the indictment re-
turned to the grand jury for amend
ment, it will necessitate a lengthy
hearing by that body, since mem
bers of the present grand jury had
no hand in returning the indict-
ment, and must listen to evidence
which already has been presented
/ to the 1930-31 investigating body.
| District Attorney Heald argued
this is unnecessary, and that his
office can make the amendments
Defense attorneys objected to this
contending the district attorney has
no right to interpret the findings
of the grand jury.

today were Bert Bane, M. Penn

EXPECT MORE OF
POISON VICTIMS
WILL LOSE LIVES
Deputy Sheriff Infected
By Plunging Arm Into
Grain Sack.

FRESNO, Jan. 30. U.Pl - Both
good and bad news were expected
to be given DR.. j. c. Munich, noted
toxicologist, when he arrives here,
probably today, from Glendolen,
Pa, to attend victims of the
thallium- poisoning epidemic that
already has taken six lives.
Favorable development was the
apparent improvement of three pa
tients after trying Doctor Munich S
treatment, heretofore unused on
humans. The recovery of the three,
until the present improvement, re-
garded as hopelessly doomed, would
be looked on as proof of the treat
ment's value and possibly the
means of saving more than 80
other victims.
On the other side of the ledger
was the apparent dying condition
of two patients and the possibility
that a deputy sheriff was a new
victim.
DR.. H M. Ginsburg, county gen.
eral hospital director, said today
two children and an adult among
his five remaining poison patients
showed definite improvement. He
said they had been receiving the
last three days, the treatment pre-
scribed by Doctor Munich by tele-
graph.
Doctor Ginsburg said Alexandra
Deloa, father of the two children.
and Ysobel Nunez might die at
any time. They have been de-
lirious or in coma for three days.
Another disheartening develop
ment was the illness of Deputy
Sheriff Harry Collins, who spent
several days tracing the origin of
the thallium- poisoned barley that
caused the epidemic.
Collins right hand and arm were
badly swollen and it was feared
he was a victim of the ready
poison. Collins was the man who
located the sack of poisoned grain.
In showing it TO onlookers. he
plunged his arm into the barley
up to his elbow. Authorities say
thallium poisoning can be con-
tracted by touch, and that
minute amount can be fatal.

BETTER PRICES
EXPECTED FOR
LOCAL. LETTUCE

Increase in the fob. lettuce
market is anticipated for today and
tomorrow by local growers and
shippers as a result of the lull in
the amount of carlot shipments.
1t is anticipated that $225 mar
ket will prevail for fives, a decided
contrast to yesterdays fob. mar
ket of Sl50 to SITS for fives, and
81 to S1l0 for skies.
The market was dull yesterday
but as shipments show sharp de-
crease. it is expected that the mar
ket will show greater activity today.
Reports from the federal-State
news service at Brawley show that
the sizes are somewhat smaller as
a result of the recent variations IN
weather temperatures. Skies Will
probably prevail in shipments for
the next few days and market con-
ditions will depend somewhat on
the remand for lettuce of this size
in the eastern market.

date. was reached on Wednesday

days market were not available

crease in the fob. market was eX-
pected.

missioner's office was on January

SOIOn Loses In
Appellate Court

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 80. UP
A writ of habeas corpus sought by
Assemblyman Dan Emmett OF
Santa Paula following his convic-
ton in police court here on a
charge of striking a police officer
during an alteration over minor
traffic violation last spring was
denied by the appellate court to-
day.
In his petition for the writ, En-
NETT claimed he was exempt from
arrest during the legislative ses-
sion, and that the officer broke
one of his fingers during the argu-
ment.
The appellate court ruled that
members of the legislature are not
immune from arrest except in civil
cases and that he had no legal
right to assault the officer
The court further ruled that En-
NETT waived exemption by not
rendering the proper plea.
Emmett was fined 500 by the
police court.
