the Contest
By the Action Taken BY the Silver Party
State Central Committee.
w. e. Sharon Deposed From the
Chairmanship and Both He and
Congressman New1ands Read
Out Of the Party-A Resolution
Reading Out Senator Stewart
Voted Down.

CARSON (Nev), Jan. 19.-Increased
bitterness has been injected into the

platform adopted at Reno. Sharon was
expelled from the committee by a vote
of 26 to IA, and Newlands was read
out of the party by a vote of % to 10.
A resolution was then offered reading
William M. Stewart out of the Silver
party, but it was voted down-3l to 10.
Sharon then left the committee-roOm,
followed by eleven members, and an
nounced that he would form a new
committee.
The Republicans are elated over the
committees action, believing that with
division of the silver forces they will
exercise more influence in the contest
The silver people profess to be pleased
at what they term 1.-The wedding out
of the renegades," and Congressman
Newlands asserts that his position has
been strengthened by his enforced in
dependence of Silver party manage
ment.

KELLEY MOTOR A DECEPTION.
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE
DIsMANTLED WORKSHOP
Disc1oses That the Alleged Mys-
terious Forces Were the Re-
suit Of Trickery.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10. = The
Press" to-day publishes an article
covering, with illustrations, over page
of space, giving the details Of an inves-
tigation made by that paper Of the dis
mantled workshop of the late John w
Kelley, which investigation, the Press
contends. clearly proves the mysterious
Kelley motor to have been delusion
and deception, and that it's alleged mys-
terious forces were the result of trick
cry.
The flooring Of the workshop was
taken UP and a brick partition wall was
removed. The Press was assisted in
the work by Professor Carl Herring, a
consulting engineer of experience; Pro-
fessor Arthur w. Goodspeed, assistant
professor Of physics of the University
of Pennsylvania; Professor Willis, also
of the University of Pennsylvania, and
DR.. M. G. Miller who has had special
training in exploration and research in
the way of mound digging and, accord
ingly, superintended all the digging op-
erations. Clarence B. Moore, son OF
Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, was an inter-
ested spectator.
The statements in the article, which
are substantiated by signed statements
from the above named scientists, are to
the effect that tubing was found con-
cealed in the brick work and under the
floor of the laboratory. This, it is
claimed, laid bare the possibilities OF
deception, as the tubing is of the kind
calculated to stand high pressure and
could have been used in connection
with the great steel sphere found last
week in the laboratory, which, the ex-
perts intimate, was used as reservoir
for compressed air or compressed gases
the tubing forming an agency for the
forces that moved the motor in the ex-
hibition room.
The contention of Mr.. Kelley and his
friends has been that no tubing of any
kind was needed to work this machine.
The views of Mr.. Herring and DR.. Good
speed are that the presence Of the tub
ing andi sphere indicates the use of nor
NAL forces and possible deception on
the, part Of Keeley. In this view Clar-
fence Moore concurs and Professor Will
mer feels that the possibility of trick
cry confirms the diagnosis that most
psychologists make as to the ,delusive
character ~of the Kelley mystery.

GUARANTEED CATTLE.
The Legislature to be Asked to
Enact Special Laws.

SAN FRANCISCO. JAN ia num-
Der of representative cattlemen of this
State propose to ask the Legislature
to enact special laws relative to the
handling of quarautined cattle. Under
the Federal law 10 cattle can be taken
out of California from below the quar-
antine line, except between the 1st DAY
of November and the last day of each
year. This is intended as a precaution
against Texas fever In some parts
of the United States, however, special
provision is made for properly dipping
the cattle so as to secure their legal
passage to non-infected districts, and
the California cattlemen want a SINH
lar plan adopted here. They wish to
guard against the dangers Of a future
dry season with a surplus of cattle.
With State dips at regular places, cat
tie may be legally dipped in some eff
fective wash and then permitted to
cross the quarantine line to new pas
lures.
