Government Bends Every Effort to Speed Trial of Federal Immi gration Commissioner’s Son on 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 SUNBURNT SKINS NEED SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-—The greatest live stock show in the his tory of the world is assured at the Panama-Pacific International Expo sition in 1915. Following the appro priation by the exposition manage ment of $175,000 for awards ft)!* prize winning live stock, and the news that $225,000 is offered in purses for har ness races, each new announcement by Chief of the Department of Live Stock D. O. Lively discloses increas ing interest in the forthcoming live stock exhibition. The live stock department has at its disposal 50 acres of ground which will be devoted to the erection of live stock buildings, a hall ’for live stock congresses and agricultural meetings, BUT CAN’T KEEP America's Oldest Church Discovered Ruins of Centuries-Old House of Worship Off Yucatan Visited by Explorers.

"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 :ng beauty e\ .* since : • ,w * scL jol f h'.Y i>. 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.

Centenarian Walks to Church on Last Birthday and Gives Sun" day School Advice. 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 stick with a gold head curiously wrought in the form of the cap of liberty I give to my friend and the friend of mankind.

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.

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 j Coast Trotting Horse Breeders’ Asso- I elation, the exposition will give two I harness race meets, one in the spring | and one in the fall of 1915, at which ! there will be offered $225,000 in stakes and purses.
