Speed Trial of Federal Immi

the Charge of “White Slavery.”
Former California State Architect,
Facing Four to Twenty Years in
Prison, Plans Appeal—Compan
ion to Follow Suit if Convicted.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.—Su-
premely confident after the conviction
of Maury I. Diggs, former State archl-.
f tec t, the United States authorities,
prosecuting the famous "white slave"
cases, which at one time threatened
to disrupt President Wilson’s Cabi
net. are using every energy to speed
the trial and obtain a similar verdict
against Drew Caminettl, who was
Diggs’ companion in the sensational
flight to Reno with Marsha Warring
ton and Lola Norris.
Diggs will be sentenced September
2. Under the verdict of the jury, the
Judge can fix the penalty at from four
to twenty years, and owing to the
fact that virtually the same evidence
that was introduced against Diggs
will be introduced against Caminettl,
leads the Government to believe that
conviction is certain.
Diggs’ attorneys have already an
nounced they will carry the case to
the highest court in the land. Should
Caminettl be convicted, he, too, doubt
less would appeal.
Diggs Gives $20,000 Bail.
Bail in the sum of $20,000 was read
ily furnished by Diggs’ relatives when
the amount was fixed by the court
and was accepted by the United* States
Commissioner.
The case was one of the most spec
tacular ever tried in California. Diggs
is a former State architect, ('aminetti
is a son of the United States Commis
sioner of Immigration. Both men are
married and have families. Both are
of high social standing in Sacra
mento.
p Both men are considerably older
that the girls with whom they eloped.
The undisputed evidence in the case
was that the intimate relations be
tween Diggs and Miss Warrington and
Carrtinetti and Miss Norris had be
come notorious in Sacramento. Fam
ilies of both the young men were pre
paring to start criminal action against
thom to break these relations.
; Then they and the girls disappeared.
' They were traced to Reno, where the
two couples were living as men and
wives In a rented bungalow. The men
were charged with violations of the
Mann anti-white slave act.
Blames Girls for Elopement.
Both Miss Warrington and Miss
Norris charged that the men had
threatened, cajoled and coerced them
Into making the trip to Reno. They
declared that they had promised to
obtain divorces from their wives in
order to wed them.
Diggs, in his defense, pleaded that
the girls were the persons responsible
for the flight, that they had induced
them to fly to Reno.
It was this attitude of hiding behind
a woman’s skirt that caused the most
severe condemnation of Diggs. Great
stress was laid on it by Theodore
Roche, attorney for the Government,
in his final appeal to the jury for con
viction.
"This defendant," said Roche, "did
not deny on the stand the truth of the
essential facts we have shown. And

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-—The

"Hides Behind Wife’s Skirts."
"The defendant in a criminal case
usually bases defense on the presump
tion of innocence, but this defendant
relies on his own depravity. He comes
into court covered with his own
shame and hides behind the skirts of
his wife and child.
"When these girls went to Reno
their departure meant social ostra-
cizement. Marsha Warrington went
because she believed and trusted this
man. Sh e didn’t desire money,
dresses or presents. Her parents gave
her these. But this man had prom
ised her marriage, as Caminetti had
promised Lola Norris.
"Those promises were never in
tended to be kept. What was intend
ed was to abandon the girls in Reno.
They never could have returned to
Sacramento—and you know what that
meant. But the alluring promise of
marriage had been held out to them.”
Scores Conduct in Home.
Attorney Roche was particularly
severe with Diggs for the misconduct
in his own home to which he testi
fied yesterday. He had not been con
tent, said Roche, with making an as
signation house out of his office, but
he was similarly to degrade the pri
vacy of a home he shared with a
virtuous and loving wife.
In seeking to establish that the* trip
was not premeditated and that the
two girls had not been induced to
take it by threats of scandal on one
hand and promises of marriage on the
other, Diggs willingly testified to his
own misconduct and the embarrass
ments, domestic and business, into
which It had led him.
His counsel in summing up the evi
dence did not palliate these acts.
"Faint this defendant as you will—
a monster if you please,’’ argued Rob
ert Devlin, his senior counsel, "but
tell me what motive h e would have
had in going out cf the State for the
purpose of accomplishing those things
already accomplished.
Act Not White Slavery.
"Counsel may characterize him as
they please, and I may not differ with
them. They say his act was shame
less, and I may feel the same way
about it, but it isn’t white slavery.’’
This was the whole argumentative
substance of the defense. There re
mained the rhetorical and the emo
tional appeals and, of course, they
were not neglected. The girls were
blamed for tempting the men. They
were called willing accomplices in
what evil had been done, and the wis
dom of trusting a woman scorned
when she bears witness against the
lover who has tii charged her was
called into question.
Fiancee-To-Be Measures Up to
Rigid Requirements of Young
Multi-Millionaire’s Mother.
NEWPORT, Aug 23—Decidedly the
most Interesting aftermath of the re
cent Newport yacht races is the per
sistent report that Miss Elizabeth
Sands, beautiful daughter of Mrs.
Frederick Sands, of this city, occupies
the place of honor in the affections of
Vincent Astor. head of that family
and heir to Its huge estates.
This report, which has been cur
rent in social circles here and in New’
York, took the form of a practical
certainty, according to society’s self-
constituted soothsayers, when it was
noted that in the party taken to the
races by young Astor was only one of
three girls to whom he paid marked
attention last year. That one, of
course, was Miss Sands.
It has long been known and great
ly gossiped about at afternoon teas
and other social fur '• s that young
Airto h-is f?lt a rv. onj.. i’k > • ” >- f\c

Society .vi.-i. es, who ha\e long
ago hung up .n their mental art gal
leries a picture of young Astor and
Miss Sands at a happy married cou
ple, w r ere not at all discouraged when
the young man’s affections at times
seemed to wander from his child
hood’s choice.
"Just wait until Vincent’s mother
gets back to America and resumes
her place at the ‘helm,’" said these
social clairvoyants, "and you’ll notice
a sudden slump in the fortunes of
Elizabeth Sands’ attractive rivals."
The prediction was based upon a
firm belief that the aristocratic for
mer Ava Willing would see to it that
her son, who is now the head of the
family and chancellor of Its inexhaus
tible exchequer, should marry some
one who measured up in every way
to her ; igid requirements as to an
cestry, connections and social stand
ing.
Syncopated Tunes and Dances
Beyond Ken of Old World,
Says American Composer.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Armand
Vecsey, composer and director of mu
sic at the Ritz-Carlton, has returned
fresh from a European trip with lots
j of new music and some comments
'upon the musical situation abroad
I which may act as balm to the souls
of American composers, and a Joy
for those who are not musicians, but
like to hear the scream of the Amer
ican Eagle.
Mr. Vecsey has not lived on this
side of the Atlantic long enough to
have taken out final naturalization
papers, but there is nobody on this
side of Weehawken who is more in
tensely and enthusiastically Ameri
can in a musical way. He says
American music and American motifs
have spread over all Europe, but the
music the natives over there don’t
know how to play.
Opera in Europe, as Mr. Vecsey
has viewed it this summer, is poor
as compared with what is given at
the Metropolitan Opera House, and
there isn’t anything now between
London and Vienna that has to do
with music dr the stage which local
talent can’t beat hands down.
"I have been In Paris, London, Ber
lin. Munich, and Vienna,’’ said Mr.
Vfecsey, ‘and everywhere I have found
American music the most popular.
Then the turkey trot one finds ill
over the Continent. Yet nowhere did
1 hear the music played correctly,
although they try hard, and when it
came to fitting German or French
words to a typical trotting tune, the
effect was ludicrous.
Recognize the "Truthahn Tanz?”
"Think of wh.at the result was in
Berlin, when they turned ‘When the
Midnight Choo-Cho > Leaves for Ala-
bam’ into German! In Germany they
call the trot Truthahn Tanz,’ and in
France it is» the ‘Pas du Dindon.’
Who would recogntze the original un
der such appellations?
"Then the French can not dance
the trot, nor can the Germans.-Some-
now they can’t just find out t the
character of it. Of course their bands
and orchestras can not get the time
right in the first place. Why. at
the Folies Bergere in Paris, I saw two
of the best French dancers giving
what was supposed to be a most per
fect rend’tlon of the trot, and I as
sure you it was ridiculous. It was a
very poor imitation of the real thing.
"Yet, I w’as astonished to find that
all the new French music and most
of the new' German operettas are
either In the American style, as near
ly as their composers could approach
it, or have American motifs. The
tango seems to be breaking up the
trot over there, partly. I suppose,
because their dancers can come near-
; er to dancing it than the purely
American steps. Tn Paris I saw a
couple trying the Texas Tommy, and
it was a sight to cause a horse ’o
double up.
“Why can’t they Hay a turkey
trot? For the same reason that no
body excf*pt a Hungarian can play
Hungarian music. Almost every mu
sical country has something that is
peculiarly its own—a style c£ music
that when played correctly is in
fectious.
American Style Has Call.
"Hungary has its, esardat, Austria
its waltz, and America its syncopated
time. When each is Hayed properly,
it is bound to move an Assemblage
of people, and just now' the Ameri
can style'has the call everywhere.
"At the Palais de Danse, in Ber
lin, I first heard aHurkey trot played
by a German orchestra. It was very
bad. T want to tell you that in
Europe this summer there is no mu
sic, no opera, no Philharmonic con
cert, and no play that can compare
with what has been heard here in
New York this year.”
"Tn Paris.” went on Mr. Vecsey,
with a trace of feeling, “when they
see an American trunk, they lie in
wait to rob the owner, and go crazy
, over the thought of loot. It Is the
same in Berlin.
"I must tell you that not anywhere
I are women so generally chic in their
I costumes nowadays as right here ’n
I New York.
1 “‘True, I did see many smartly
' frowned women, but Investigation
showed that most of them were
Americans.”
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 23.—The
ruins of the oldest Christian church
in America have been discovered on
the Island of Cozumel off Yucatan by
Professor Morley and Jesse Nusbaum,
of the Sarvard-San Diego expedition.
Cozumel has not been visited by
white men for almost a centurv, and
Morley and Nusbaum had thrilling
adventures, but deny that its people
are cannibals. The scientists were
equipped with a moving picture out-
hi, hut in leaving the island for the
mainland their canoe was upset and
much of the photograph material was
spoiled.
While Cozumel is only 3ft bv 7
miles in extent, it was found extraor
dinarily rich in monumental and
architectural remains. It was here
that Cortez had a fierce battle with
the natives and erected what is de
clared to have been th& first Christian
lurch in America.

NEWBURGH, N. T„ Aug. 23.—
William T. Osborne, of this city, was
101 years old to-day and he didn’t
mind it a bit.
Answer to “Old Subscriber.” "Vox
Populi/’ "Constant Reader” anu
“Friend of the Paper:” NO, HE
NEVER SMOKED OR DRANK.
In the spring of 1841—when he was
29—four physicians visited him at dif
ferent times to give him some con
crete idea of how' much longer he
was going to adorn the earth. All
said he was firmly in the grip of con
sumption. Three said he’d be lucky
to last more than a few’ days. The
fourth said Osborne didn’t have a
chance of picking anything off the
next Christmas tree.
The four doctors are dead.
Five generations gathered at hls
home to-day. Naturally, he was de
lighted. Being a regular communi
cant of Trinity Methodist Church, he
went there this morning. He wanted
to walk, but the temperature made
that seem unwise. Before the service
he addressed a class In the Sunday
school and told the scholars to be
clean In their habits, stick on the
sprinkling cart and keep up a strong
activity in labor. He thinks that If
he hadn’t worked so hard he would
not have taken part in to-day’s i>arty.
The old man didn’t dance any jigs
to indicate that he was as lively as
he used to be, but he gave plenty of
evidence that he was around the
place. A natural decline in the power
of his eyes recently forced him to give
up reading but he still writes, can
hear well, enjoys walking and has a
good memory.
He was born nine miles from New
burgh. He has been a farmer, tan
ner and storekeeper. His wife Sarah
died eleven years ago at the age of
81.
Document Contains Severe Ar
raignment of Custom of Wear
ing Jewelry in This Country.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23—All
controversies regarding the disposi
tion of the estate of Benjamin Frank
lin have been settled by the restora
tion of hls will by the manuscript
repair department of the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania.
The document, recently resurrected
from a vault under the City Hall
for the purpose of verifying an of
fice copy, was found to have dete
riorated so much during more than
a century of obscurity that it was
practically Indecipherable. Through
the renovating process to which it
was subjected It has regained much
of its original freshness and legibil
ity, making it possible for every de
tail to be understood.
In a finely-worded passage he
makes disposition of hls best cane as
follows: "My fine crabtree walking

wrought in the form of the cap of
liberty I give to my friend and the
friend of mankind. General Washing

woman, Mme. de Forback, the Dow
ager Duchess of Deux Ponts.”
A small painting of the King of
FYance, prevented to him by that
monarch, which was mounted in a
frame containing 408 diamonds, he
bequeathed to his daughter, with the
following curious proviso: "The
King of France’s picture, set with 408
diamonds, to my daughter, Sarah

not. to form any of the diamonds irtto
ornaments either for herself of

fashion of wearing jewels in this
country.”

W’hich will be held drills, international
cavalry horse contests, polo contests
and exhibitions of the prize live
stock of the world.
The live stock buildings will be con
structed more from an exhibition
standpoint than in keeping with any
Mini utility plan; the vast rows of
barns which have characterized the
live stock departments of other ex
positions will be avoided. Every
separate section will be shown under
a single roof.
In addition to the $175,000 set aside
by the exposition management to be
used in cash premiums, more than
$45,000 has been offered by organiza
tions representing various phases of
the live stock industry. Of the prizes
offered by the exposition, $50,000 will
be rriven to horses, $30,000 to cattle,
$25,COO to sheep and goats. $25,000 to
•vine, $12,000 to poultry, pigeons and
, et stock, $7,500 to carloads of cattle,
sheep and swine. $5,000 for prize
winning dogs and cats.
The department is making arrange
ments for holding the biggest poultry
show on record, and birds from all
over the world will compete for in
ternational prizes. The pigeons will
take their place in the exposition not
only as applied to the* fancy, but as a
utility, and some of the birds w’ill be
used as carriers, taking part in races
across the continent from San Fran
cisco.
Under the auspices of the Pacific

I elation, the exposition will give two
