l.. G. CANNON NOW GENERAL
MANAGER.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 10.-The Ne
yada Northern changes following the
resignation of NJ. l.. Requa a few
days ago are being lined up. Circu-
lars are out announcing a successor
to Mr.. Requa in the person of L. G.
Cannon who has been made vice
president and general manager of the
road which runs from Cobre to Ely.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cannon
will remain in New York and there
will be a general superintendent in
charge appointed to look after the
operation of the road. For this
position T. J. Duddleson is slated
and it is expected that his appoint
ment will be announced in a few
days.
Mr.. Cannon is the right hand mar
of S. w. Eccles, vice president of the
American Smelling and Refining
company in charge of traffic. Prior
to his going to the Guggenheims Mr.
Cannon was assistant to President
George w. Ridgeway of the Colorado
Midland and was TO all intents and
purposes comptroller OF the road.
Mr.. Duddleson is well known in
local railroad circles. Up to recently
he was superintendent of the Mon.
tana division of the Oregon Shorl
Line and prior to his appointment
was trainmaster on the Idaho divis
ion.

ings and contents destroyed in the
fire must have been about s350,000,-
900, being an estimate upon the in
surance liability, the known ratio of
insurance to value (about 70 per
cent? and a guess that there was
about 5 per cent of property that
carried no insurance.
An immense sum of insurance
money has been paid into this city,
a far larger sum than companies
have ever been called upon to pay
at one time before. In spite of the
earthquake, in spite of the nearness
in time of the Baltimore and Toron-
to CONGREGATIONS, the companies will
finally have paid undoubtedly in the
neighborhood of 80 pei cent of the
amount of insurance involved. Al
Chicago there was so per cent paid.

GRAND JURY
BUSINESSES CASE
SPEARS WHO KILLED PURDY AT
RHYOLITE SET FREE-JUS-
TIFIABLE HOMICIDE.

On Tuesday the Grand Jury re-
fused to entertain the charges
against Sam Spears, who vas held
for the shooting of Fred Purdy and
dismissed the case on the ground of
j~ustifable homicide. About two
weeks ago Spears killed Purdy at
Rhyolite. For a long time Purdy
threatened Spears and for Two
months displayed a revolver which
ne said he would use to kill him On
the day of the shooting, Purdy, who
bore no enviable reputation to kill
Spears mother and said he would
shoot Spears on isght. Later in the
day they accidentally met. Spears
asked about the threats that Purdy
had been making, but the latter de-
MED that he had ever made any.
The men were standing close togeth-
err and while talking Purdy drew his
gun and shot Spears through the
hand. In return Spears shot his ad-
Versary through the right arm,
causing him to drop his pistol. Be
fore he could ecover it Spears emp
tied seven shots from an automatic
into his body. Spears is about Fl
years old while Purdy age is 40.

MAKE A BAD BOY GOOD BY
SURGERY.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Aeeording
to Dr.. William H. Maxwell, City SUI
perintendent of Schools, and DR..
John ]. Cronin, assistant chief medi-
cal inspector of the Board of Health,
1t has been demonstrated that sur
gerry can transform a bad boy into a
good one. This achievement, among
others equally beneficial, was the re-
suit of an operation performed re-
Gently upon a pupil from a school in
the lower East Side, whose name is
withheld. Primarily the operation
was resorted to, not with the notion
of improving the lads moral eharac-
ter, but for the removal of a physical
defect.
For a long time the boy, who IS
about IA years old, and the son of
poor parents, had been incorrigible
In and out of school. After the OPP
GRAFTON, which was for the removal
of adenoids, there was a surprising
change in the boy. He became more
cheerful, lost his surly manner, and
without threats or coercion, but
merely in response to a kindly sug-
! g%estion, he stopped smoking cigar
cites, a habit to which he had been
addicted. He also developed a
quickness Of apprehension and a
readiness to study and is now con-
sidered a model pupil,
Similar experiments are being
conducted in Salt Lake and a spec
ial report on the subject is to be
made to the Juvenile Court associa-
ton tomorrow.

AN MATTER.

With the approach of the fight scheduled for New Years day there
arises a question of serious import and on that should receive careful
and immediate consideration, and We ire glad that the matter has all
ready been taken up. The affair is bound to bring a large influx of
visitors from far away points and it will be necessary to provide the
necessary accommodation for a large number of people. In a way they
win be the guests of Tonopah, a they will come here in response to the
invitation that is being extended by the publicity given to the occasion
through the Press 1t therefore behooves that adequate steps be taken to
insure their personal comfort. The impression must not be given that
it is a cold booded business proposition in which we have no other inter
impression it would be better not to have the fight at all The Bonanza
would therefore suggest that the committee carefully ascertain all of the
available places where arrangements could be made to take care of the
visitors. At the present time most of the local hotels have all they can
do to take care of the people that re daily coming in, so that under the
extraordinary conditions very little relief could be accorded. 1t will no
doubt be possible to find many who would be willing to undertake tenn
porary lodging houses during the rush time This should be we'll in
vestgated and a list kept of the available places and those coming to
Tonopah to witness the fight should be directed to the available places.
1t will also assist in the making of reservations before hand.

STRANGE TRAIN
ON WAY TO COAST

Some time this month the strang-
est and most novel train that ever
passed over a transcontinental rail
road will leave st. Louis for Los An
geles. 1t will be made up of eight
cen passenger coaches, all painted
red, and lettered in gilt, Pacific
Electric Railway The value of
these eighteen cars will border on
100000, as far as known the most
valuable passenger equipment in one
train that ever came west of the Mis-
souri, river.
For the first time in the history of
the st. Louis Car Company and of
electric raiiroading in the United
States, a train of trolley cars will
be shipped to their destination on
their own wheels. No other cars
ever used IN a western electric line
are so built and equipped that it
would be possible to send them
through on a steam road. These
cars are standard throughout, and
are equipped also with automatic
air and automatic safety couplers,
both innovations in electric a con
struction.
These new cars are said to be
among the finest products Of the
modern car builders art. They are
steel reinfoI ced throughout, and the
open portion of the cars will be
built up to the arm rests in order to
avoid the Inconvenience OF wind or
cold air blowing in through a grill
work to chill the outside passenger
and raise havoc with women's skirts.
The new cars win be equipped
with the new multiple control, which
will allow trains of them to be coup
led together and run under the con-
troll of a single motorman. The un-
slightly, clumsy and space-killine
controller box will be displaced and
placed beneath the floor of the car,
A crank about the size of that on
2 family coffee mill, resting under
the hand of the motorman will be
the only visible means of control
Through it the motorman will switch
the current either full on or full off
When the current is thrown on full
the motors are saved from being
burned out by an automatic device
which allows the car to gather mo.
mentum gradually, and as the mo.
tors will bear the load.
AS soon as the new cars arrive
the Pacific Electric Company will in.
augurate the practice Of running
trains instead of individual ears tC
take care of traffic at rush hours
to such points as Long Beach anC
possibly TO Pasadena. These train!
will consist of two, three or four cars
as the traffic may demand.

APPROVE OF Mines
As AN INVESTMENT
SALT LAKE REAL ESTATE MEN
THINK 1T Is 4 GOOD
THING.

An effort is being made 10 secure
a collection Of Nevada ores 10 ex-
hibit in Salt Lake. The real estate
mel Of that city are beginning to re-
alize the desirability OF Neyada min
ing investment. For a long time, and
still In many places real estate opera
tors have been opposed to mining in
vestments figuring that money so
used would draw from real estate
deals. In Salt Lake an entirely op-
posite feeling is cherished and they
reason that mining is the backbone
OF the prosperity of the intermount-
ain states. The recent action Of
Samuel Newhouse confirms them IN
their belief that the real estate Is
benefited b ysuch investments. Ac-
cordingly at a meeting OF the Salt
Lake Real Estate Association It was
decided TO obtain specimens of Ne
yada ore, feeling that that State o.
fered the best opportunities for the
most desirable mining investments
a circular letter has just been re-
ceived from the real estate concern
of Stowe and Palmer at Salt Lake
explaining the views of the Salt Lake
men and stating their intentions to
apply for the specimens.

COOKS AND WALTERS TROUBLES

1OOthfC hAND Ems HWY blJlNos
The walters and cooks are still
idle and the public are obliged to
seek their meals where they can.
Several of the saloons have or will
open up lunch counters which fact
taken together with the boarding
houses which are able to serve meals
to transients, relieves the situation
considerably. No case of actual suf-
fering has come to the notice OF the
Bonanza although 1t is known that
some inconvenience is being occa-
stoned. The only sign of weakness
on the part of the proprietors occur
red yesterday when the Casino lunch
room decided to open this morning
at 7 o'clock. The decision Is suppos-
ed to have resulted from a contro-
versy between the partners culminat-
ing in one selling out to the other.
The Casino is one of the places that
signed the agreement which was pro-
mulgated among the leading restau-
ranteurs.
