'FAMOUS LOGS'
CABIN PLAN OF
MARLIN V. D. C.
Houston Post Special.
MARLIN Texas Dec. 6. Amid
much enthusiasm members of the
Falls county chapter U. D. C dis-
cussed plans for the log cabin to be
erected on the court house lawn in
Marlin at a meeting in the chamber
of commerce headquarters Tuesday
afternoon.
The first contribution toward the
building of the structure came from
Mis. A. .1. Streit who donated 2T as
a memorial to her father the late
William llander a Confederate vet-
eran. Many other like contributions
are expected from friends of the
cause. i
The stwicture will be erected en-
tirely of logs from buildings which
bear a historical significance. Kor
instance Charles Oltorf. on his farm
south of town has a log from Msr-
lin's first post office building. Some
excellent cedur probably will be avail-
able from remodelling of the Bartlett
building Marlin's oldest brick which
is now being converted into a city
hall. At the home of Mrs. Mollie
HartFett stands perhaps the oldest
structure in Marlin. a small log build-
ing. The Spencer house raised iu the
downtown section a few years ago
yielded some of the best cedar obtain-
able in this section and many other
ancient buildings will be drawn on for
a niece of timber. Other suggestions
will be appreciated by the V. D. C.
The V. D. O. Is planning a "gumbo
supper" the Saturday night before
Christmas to raise funds for the
cabin.
The cabin will be a community cen-
ter with reading material and games
available and will be used for display
of historical relics to be contributed
by Confederate veterans and others.
A resolution was adopted by the
V. D. C. expressing appreciation to
commissioners court for the privilege
of erecting the structure on the court
house lawn.

Wife Laughs at
Bigamist Idea
Associated Press Report.
EAU CLAIRE Wis.. Dec. 11 De-
claring that she was "not much Con-
cerned'' over the news of Edward J.
Sailstad's capture in California his
former wife who was married to Ross
T. Richardson in 1921 today laughed
at the idea of being a bigamist. She
refused to believe that the matter was
not a misrepresentation by insurance
companies.
"I would not live with Sailstad if
he were the only man on earth Mrs
Richardson declared Sailstad. yyho
carried insurance policies totaling
8 1 2.0O0. disappeared after fire de
stroyed his cabin at Lake Nebagamon

cago.
The Commercial Travelers and Fi
delity compunie have paid smaller
policies. Mrs. Richardson said todav
that the New York company admitted

First Alias Proves
Sailstad's Undoing
Associated Press Report.
E A l CLAIRE. Wis.. Dec. ti An
alias used by Edward .1. Sailvtad. for
mer president of the Multitone Mann
factoring tsunpimy of this citv. who
was arrested on a charge of arson m
N.ipa Calif. last night proved his
undoing uecording to authorities here.
When Sailstad disappeared from
here August 2(i. l'.l'JO. police investi-
gated a report that a man answering
his description han been seen at Chip-
pewa Falls a town near here where
he hud been introduced as "E. J. King-
ston." When arrested he was using
the same name.
So far as local authorities have
iieen nble to trace his travels since
the uight a cottage rented by him at
Lake Nebagamon was destroyed by-
fire he vanished entirely after leav-
ing Superior where in companv with
a woman answering the description
' Miss lorothy Anderson his steno-
grapher known as the "sunshine girl"
lie registered at a hotel as Mr. and
.Mrs. jk. j Kingston.
Mrs. Sailstad. who hat since been
married to Hast Richardson of this
city brought suit against Insurance
companies to collect $72 000 in life
insurance which her husband carried.
During the hearings testimony was
introduced to show that Sailstad had
Deen seen at Cnlooewa Fa lis with
Miss Anderson who left Eau Claire
two weeks prior to Sailstad s disap-
pearance. They left a rooming house
at which the woman had been staying
and were driven to Superior where
the trail was lost.

of
Associated Press Report.
MIAMI. Fla.. Dec. ! Advocacy of
legislation to place all public service
motor vehicles under the regulation of
State utility regulatory commissions
was urged in a report presented to the
National Association of Railway and
I'tilities Commissioners in annual
meeting here today by the asocia-
tion't committee on motor vehicle
transportation- I'ndei- a model statute
suggested in the report such vehicles
would be required to pay a fee under
its provisions.
It has now become to be generally
recognized as unfair to place the en-
tire cost of eliminating dangerous
grade crossings ou the railroads the
committee on grude crossings and
trespassing on railroads reported and
cited figures from 2' States which
have laws providing for an appor-
tionment of the cost between the car-
riers and the county or municipal gov-
ernment. Recognizing that it will take a long
time to wholly eliminate grade cross
ings the committee report discussed
the erection of proper warning sig-
nals. "We can suggest no form of protec
tion more Effective than those now in
use' the report said "and vet they
fail in many instances to prevent these
iiuniortius crossing accidents.
The committee recommended to re-
quire all motorists to come to a full
stop before crossing grade crossings
in States where such legislation would
be supported.
The committee also thought it wise
that damage suits growing out of
grade crossing accidents be placed on
u reciprocal basis. Kailroada fre
fluently sustain substantial damage
in these accidents the committee re-
port said and expressed the belief
that it would help to stop the reck-
lessness of motorists if Hie railroads
sued whenever the accident was due
to the former's negligence.
Traveling Opticians
Escape Medicos lax
The Houston Post.
Austin Bureau
AI STIN Texas Dec. C An op-
tician who travels from nlace to place
examining eyes at drug stores in the
smaller citien or the -State earn not oe
classed an itinerant doctor tsd there-
fore escapes paying an annual occu-
pation tax of $50 accordlhf to an
opinion reudered by tfce ' attorney
general.
The State comptroller Irt asked
the question if an optician who trav-
els about the State giving demonstra-
tions and examining eyes for the pur-
pose of fitting glasses could be prop-
erly called an itiuerant merchant in
the opinion of the attorney general
such a person does not come witbiu
the construction of this law.
Nothing in the act can be construed
to apply to persons who iell spec-
tacles and eye glasses as merchandise
and those who fit glasses for their
customers.
Agents of large optical houses have
representatives who enter a town anil
go to flrug stores who handle their
merchandise. They are there for the
purpose of examining eyes trnd fitting
glasses and do not sell spectacles di-
rect for the firm they represent. For
this reason the attorney general holds
they are not itinerant merchants or
opticians and do not have to pay the
annual occupation tax levied upon
licensed opticians.

BASIN FINISHED
CHANNEL BEGUN
Houston Post Special.
SAN HENITO. Texas. Dec. ft
Work on the turning basin at Port
Isabel was completed at noon Tues-
day according to wo.d received from
there and work on the inner channel
will be started immediately. The
turning basin is 400 feet square and
18 feet in depth and will provide
ample room for the boats which will
discharge or take on cargo at the
Valley's seaport.
Kxeellent progress has been made
by the dredge engineers state when
the inclement weather of the past two
months is taken into consideration.
Work on the channel will now proceed
more rapidly as it w ill not be neces-
fary to pump the sand and earth a
long distance and the work also being
facilitated by the addition of another
power unit which will greatly increase
the capacity of the dredge.
Engineers state that the clay from
the turning basin has built up a bank
nlmost as solid as concrete and that
there will be very little wnsh into the
tiirnini: basin. The clay is exception-
ally hard and solidifies almost as
soon as it dries. It will be almost as
effective as a sea wall it is stated in
preventing sand and silt from wash-
ing back into the turning basin and
will greatly simplify the maintenance
of the port.
