2006 Year in Review for Newspaper Abstracts - Finding Our Ancestors in the News! Newspaper Abstracts started out over six years ago simply as a place to share old newspaper articles I had in my collection and has grown into a site with hundreds of contributors and over 30,900 articles - with over 9,100 contributed during 2006! There are currently over 1,500 registered members on the Newspaper Abstracts site and over 10,000 subscribers to the various Old-News mail lists. An average of 750 news items are added each month and over 1,317,000 of these articles have been read on the site in just the last 18 months! I wanted to take this time to remind all of our various members, subscribers, contributors and coordinators of some of the features of the site and clarify some others. If you haven't visited the site in a while, I encourage you to stop by soon to take advantage of many of the new features. Old News Articles Old news articles are submitted on the website at http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com, and on occasion through one of the mail lists, by site visitors, regular contributors along with county and state coordinators. For more information on how to submit news articles and what type of articles are accepted on the site please visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?id=1588 and http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?id=1590. Mail Lists There are 53 mail lists associated with the Newspaper Abstracts website. Through the miracle of computers, all articles added to the site are automatically sent to two mail lists by the script on the website. The first mail list an article goes to is [email protected] This is the main list for Newspaper Abstracts and has the most traffic - normally over 600 emails per month. The second list the article goes to is the state specific list, for example, an article posted in any county in Missouri is sent to the [email protected] mail list, an article posted in Illinois goes to [email protected], etc. More information, including subscribe and unsubscribe instructions for the mail lists can be found at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?id=2339. Acknowledgements The actual submitter of any news article can be found on the website with the article. Under the title of the article is a by-line, which shows the chosen user name of the contributor. When an article is submitted to the site, an email automatically goes out to the appropriate mail lists and subscriber list. These articles are sent to the list from the administrative email address for the Newspaper Abstracts website, which is [email protected] This is NOT the email address of the actual contributor of the news article. To view and/or contact the actual contributor of the article, you will need to follow the link in the email message to the Newspaper Abstracts website. Newspaper Abstracts Registered Members The Newspaper Abstracts website allows visitors to register for a free account. Once registered, the member can choose to subscribe to a specific county and/or state. By subscribing, the member is notified each time a new article is added to the county and/or state that the member subscribed to. To unsubscribe, the member only needs to return to the main page for the county and/or state that they are receiving notifications from and click on unsubscribe. Alternately, a registered member can log in at the site and go to 'Options', then go to 'Manage Subscriptions'. This area will list all county, state and/or specific article pages that you have subscribed to and allow you to unsubscribe from there. A new feature for registered members provides you with another place to post your research information. Under your profile, you can now list items such as your family history web page, surnames you are researching, along with a limited amount of research information. You can set your account to receive private messages as well as have your own guestbook. You may turn these options on or off in your profile setting. The advantage of registering with the site and accepting private messages is in the ability to have others contact you without giving out your email address, thereby reducing the amount of unwanted messages. Posting Restrictions In an effort to thwart inappropriate posts on the site, all postings, including news articles, comments and postings to guestbooks, are subject to approval by the administrator. Once a member has posted a number of appropriate posts, whether as comments, guestbook submissions or article submissions, their account is manually upgraded to a contributor account and their posts are no longer held pending administrator approval, though all postings are still reviewed and subject to removal if not deemed appropriate for the site. And Finally I would like to take this time to thank all of those who have taken the time to submit news items to the site over the past 7 years. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. For a list of the top contributors to Newspaper Abstracts, please visit our homepage at http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com. I would also like to thank those volunteers who help with specific counties and states. A list of current state and county coordinators can now be found on the site at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/leaders.php. Many more coordinators are also needed for other areas of the site. To learn more about becoming a state or county coordinator, see http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?id=2317. Wishing all a wonderful and blessed 2007!

Mr. Smith, of Arizona, Annoyed When Car Is Not Stopped Annoyed because the operator would not stop an elevator in the New Ebbitt house at his command Marcus A. SMITH, newly elected senator from Arizona, struck George SMITH, a young negro, in the face Saturday night. Senator SMITH confirmed the story, declaring that the boy was impudent to him and that he had slapped his face. Fellow employes of the elevator man say that the senator from Arizona struck the negro boy a hard blow, knocking his hand from the controller of the car. Col. G. F. SCHUTT, proprietor of the Ebbitt house, said the affair was a regrettable one, but was not of a serious nature. He said that Senator SMITH was waiting on the third floor to descend when the elevator carrying the operator and a passenger passed the floor on its way upward. The senator signaled for the car to stop, but the elevator boy continued on his way, calling to Senator SMITH that he would return presently. When Senator SMITH boarded the elevator he demanded of the boy why he had refused to stop at the third floor. It is said that the operator explained that it was his duty to take his passenger to an upper floor before allowing passengers going down to enter, but this did not appease the senator. Young Smith was not discharged. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

Hillsville, Va., April 7 - Money may prove superior to mountain strategy in capturing Sidna ALLEN and Wesley EDWARDS, the two outlaws of the Allen clan still at large. With no definite prospect of locating the fugitives by raiding the mountainside, the detectives are said to be attempting to secure information of the hiding places of the two men by paying $1,000 or more for knowledge that would lead to an immediate arrest. The detectives, it is said, have learned that there are among the ?3 or more families near here who are known to the ALLENS, some who would not be averse to seeing the outlaws captured, but would demand in return for information absolute silence on the part of the detectives as well as a liberal amount of money. Revelation, it is admitted, would mean death to the betrayer. Detectives Are Reticent. The detectives therefore, in keeping with the idea, are reticent to discuss this phase of a possible plan to capture the outlaws. They tried hard to get information from Jordan EDWARDS, arrested a few days ago on a charge of aiding the fugitives, but he steadfastly scorned all proffers of money. Reuben EDWARDS, another kinsman of the ALLENS, taken into custody yesterday on a similar charge, was released today under a small bond. Rumor tonight was to the effect that the latter had yielded to the grilling of the detectives and that important developments might ensue from his quick release. The posse reported no new trail today. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

Page 2 Article Text: Washington Post April 8, 1912 D.A.R. Page 2 D. A. R. FORCES GATHER Delegates to the Congress Here Make Political Plans. MANY CONTESTS EXPECTED Supporters of Mrs. William Cummings Story and Mrs. Matthew Scott Already at Work to Elect Their Candidate President General, Though the Choice Will Not Be Made for a Year. With supporters of Mrs. William Cummings STORY and the faction now led by Mrs. Matthew T. SCOTT, already having plans, politics has begun to seethe in the ranks of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which begins its twenty-first continental congress here next Monday. A number of delegates to the congress are already in the city, and arrangements for the four days' meeting have been completed. Ten vice president generals and an honorary vice president general are to be elected this year, and adherents of the conservative party, led by Mrs. STORY, and the progressive party, led by Mrs. SCOTT and Mrs. Donald McLEAN, are making every effort to place their supporters in office. News brought by the delegates already here is to the effect that the approaching congress is to see the greatest contest ever had in an "off-year." Stung by their defeat of a year ago at the hands of the progressives, the followers of Mrs. STORY are losing no time in preparing for the election of a year hence. Mrs. SCOTT whose term of office as president general expires in 1913, cannot be a candidate again, since this is her second term, and the constitution of the American Daughters of the Revolution limits the service of the president generals to two terms. Two of the Prominent Candidates. Mrs. John Miller HORTON, of New York, and Mrs. Alexander E. PATTON, of Pennsylvania, are looked upon as the most prominent candidates of the progressives for president general next year. Neither has made any announcement of their candidacy, however. Mrs. STORY, it is said, is certain to run again, as her followers feel confident that she can now be elected, after being defeated twice by Mrs. SCOTT. The vice presidents general, whose terms expire this year, are Mrs. John T. STERLING. of Connecticut; Mrs. La Verne NOYES, of Illinois; Mrs. Egbert JONES, of Mississippi; Mrs. George Scott SHACKLEFORD, of Virginia; Mrs. Emily P. S. MOORE, of Vermont; Mrs. Andrew H. K. GAULT, of Nebraska; Mrs. Edward RANDALL, of Texas; Mrs. William E. STANLEY, of Kansas; and Miss Anna Caroline BENNING, of Georgia. Mrs. Ellen MECUM, of New Jersey, one whose term expires this year, died recently. Mrs. La Verne NOYES and Mrs. Edward RANDALL are two who are likely to be candidates for reelection. Mrs. Joseph S. WOOD, State regent of New York, and an ardent supporter of Mrs. STORY, is certain, it is said, to be a candidate. Others whose names have been mentioned in connection with these positions are Mrs. A. B. JAMIESON, of Virginia; Mrs. A. S. BRYAN, of Tennessee, and Mrs. John Miller HORTON, of New York. Contest Expected Over Report. The factional differences of the Daughters of the American Revolution are expected to come into prominence on Tuesday afternoon after Mrs. SCOTT, as chairman of the Continental Hall committee, makes her annual report. There were several things done by the committee during the last year that are not approved of by all the members of the organization although the supporters of Mrs. SCOTT say her acts will be enthusiastically indorsed. The hottest dispute is expected when the publicational committee, headed by Mrs. Egbert R. JONES, makes its new report on the disposal of the now famous old Chalkley records of Augusta county, Va. The committee last year recommended that the records be turned over to the Congressional Library, with the understanding that they be published if found valuable. This recommendation was so bitterly contested by the members of the STORY faction that a decision was postponed until this year. The records contain data thought to be extremely valuable from a genealogical standpoint. May Reduce the Number of Delegates. Great interest, not only among members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, but to the District public generally, is attached to the outcome of the vote to be taken this year on an amendment to the constitution, which, if passed, will have the effect of greatly reducing the number of delegates who will attend future congresses. The amendment was introduced last year by Mrs. B. B. SWORMSTEDT, of the District. There are now more than 30,000 members of the Daughters of the American Revolution throughout the country. There were more than 1,000 delegates entitled to attend the last congress. At the present rate of increase in the membership there would be more than 1,000 delegates entitled to seats in the congress in 1913. Continental Hall will not seat so many. Mrs. SWORMSTEDT's plan cuts the representation of each State exactly in half. Members of the District Daughters of the American Revolution, headed by Mrs. Mary S. LOCKWOOD, the State regent, are preparing to do everything possible for the entertainment of the visiting delegates. Although the attendance will not be as large as in years when there is a general election of officers, it is expected that there will be nearly 1,000 delegates in attendance at the congress. There will be also several hundred visitors. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
