General Pershins Is EnToute From

Official Inquiry Is Possible
ARMY OFFICERS SMILE
Description of the Carida System
of "Trial" Marriages Which
IS Said to Be Popular in the
Philippines.
SPECIAL TO TIE News.


Washington, Dec 26-t:en. John J.
Pershing, whose name has been linked
with that of a Filipino woman in army
gossip, is on his way home from Manila
to face his accusers.
Senator Warren, the father-in-law of
Gen. Pershing, is thoroughly aroused
over the action of certain army officers
in promoting stories discreditable to the
General and it is believed he will use
his influence as chairman of the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs to force
an inquiry. In official quarters, how
ever, the publicity given to the affair
is deprecated, for the reason that Sec
retary Taft personally investigated the
charges against Pershing prior to the
latter's promotion from captaincy to
Brigadier Generalship and found the
stories to have little basis in fact.
The name of the woman in the case
is Jiaquina Bondoy Ignacio and she is
described as a belle among bellies in
Mindanao.
Army officers who have served in the
Philippines smile when questioned about
social conventions in those far-away
Islands.

JAPS POURING
IN VIA HONOLULU

Washington, Dec. 26. 6.--Frank
2. Sargent, commissioner-gen-
eral Of immigration, who has re-
turned from an inspection of the
immigrant stations in Honolulu,
expressed surprise at the large
number of Japsnese who are
seeking admittance to the United
States by way Of the Hawaiian
islands.
''lThere are probably 10000
japanese in the Hawaiian
Islands," said Mr.. Sargent, ''and
they are now arriving there
at the rate Of from 600 to 1000
= month. New arrivals do not
remain long on the islands, how
ever, and soon 60 to the Pacific
coast. They are leaving in large
numbers by each steamer. In
the last twelve months 1000
Japanese have gone from the
Hawaiian islands to the main
land of this country
Mr.. Sargent wrs asked why
the Japanese first go to the Ha-
waiian islands. He explained it
by saying that, as he understood
the case, the japanese govern
ment does not issue passports to
the United States proper, as it
is unaware whether it's cit. ..zens
could get work here, but the
fact that there is a demand for
laborers in Hawaii induces the
issue Of passports to fhe islands.
Mr.. Sargent admitted there
was considerable feeling against
the japanese because of compe-
tition with American merchants.

CARNAGE OF RACES
COSTS Fifteen LIVES
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 20
Kemper county, Miss, is the
scene Of the most deadly racial
feud that has occurred in the
South in years. Already fifteen
persons have been killed. Both
the whites and the negroes are
armed with shotguns, which
have been used in the past few
days with terrible results.
Unless promptly checked, a
race war Of serious proportions
will, it is feared, ensue. The
local authorities have lost con-
troll Of the situation, and the
governor has failed to adopt re-
pressiye measures. The result
is continuance OF unrestrained
carnage.

Special tosThe News.
Salt Lake City, Dec. 26.-ln the
Christmas number of the Salt Lake
Telegram Judge c. C. Goodwin, states
that another railroad will certainly be
built into Ely the coming year.
"The railroad to Deep Creek y Judge
Goodwin writes, "and possibly through
to Ely, will be built this coming year,
either by the Clark road from Tintic, or
by the Western Pacific from some point
on the through line, or by CIV. Scofield
and associates, or by a fourth company
which ! may not mention, but which
has the means and is ready to COM
mence and rush the work to completion.
After describing the country between
Salt Lake and Ely Judge Goodwin
paints in glowing colors the human
possibilities involved in the construct
ion OF the new road.
With the road completed to Ely the
western terminal will be within 1S0
miles, possibly less, of Manhattan,
Round Mountain and Goldfield. If ex-
tended no further than Ely, it would, if
frst-class road, draw mnch of the
passenger travel from those districts,
for by automobile and railroad Goldiield
would be but twelve or fourteen hours
from Salt Lake City, which would be
in less time than Rhyolitc and Caliente.
"The road would pass within twenty
miles of Osceola and within four hours
By automobile of Phoebe. y
There would not be a bridge, hardly
culvert, after crossing the Jordan. .
"There would not be no right OF way
to purchase. The grading should not
cost to exceed $500 per mile. .
With the road completed, in suri-
mer time the men Of Goldfield vii.
think it economical to come in here r.
get bath.
The men of Ely can leave honeir =
morning, come here, see to a great uea
of business, attend the opera at night,
then take the train and go to sleep and
wake up the next morning at home ano
be ready for business, barring POSSIBLY
a headache.
They can laaye home on Saturday
night, come here and attend church
next day, get their sins forgiven-a big
Job take the train in the evening anc
be at home in the morning, ready fol
work.
The road will be the making of Ely
that is, it will give IL q natural outlet
and supply station.
1t will be the M igg ef Salt Lake
and when in year : t""'o it, effect:
will be seen, the men Of capital In thi!
CITY will be hiring men with copper tips
on their shoes to kick them around
block for neglecting, fifteen years ago
when the advantages Of this road were
uointed out to them, that they did no
mortgage all they had and put the roat
through and be rolling in wealth now. >

CHICKENS START
PLACER RUSH
Nuggets Found In Craws Of Poul.
try Dressed for the Christ.
mas feaSts in Ely.
MANY CLAIMS LOCATED
Workmen On Ely City Water Ditch
Pick Up Fine Specimens
Of Gold Quartz.

Chickens have done some successful
prospecting in the vicinity of Ely.
Valuable nuggets were taken from tho
craws of some of the poultry dressed
for the Christmas feasts and the result
hns been IRISH for placer ground
In addition to this, workmen en-
ployed in bitches of the Ely City water
system have found fine specimens Of
gold quartz at the depth of four feet,
and this has strengthened the belief
that placer gold in paying quantities
can be taken from the gravel under
the surface soil of Steptoe valley.
John Stemper, the butcher, while
cleaning poultry for the Christmas
trade, found two nuggets about the
size of beans. Another nugget valued
at s5 was found by D. Mahoney Of the
, Famous restaurant in the craw Of a
young rooster which he had bought
of Mr.. Stemper The discovery made
the restaurant man very anxious to
discover the name of the person from
whom the butcher bought the chicken.
Mr.. Stemper said that according to his
recollection the rooster was one Of
number of chickens which he had pur-
chased from j. B. Simpson, big
Sim" These chickens ran in the yard
of the Simpson residence on High
street and on the hill back of the
house. The other chickens from which
nuggets were taken were bought
from Steptoe ranchers.
The workmen employed in digging
the water ditch for Ely City, south Of
the townsite, have found fine specimens
of gold quartz at depth of four feet.
Among the workmen employed in the
ditch were two experienced miners,
Black and Roy, and they at once saw
the value of the rock, and reported the
matter to Superintendent George An
nand. Mr.. Armand is of the opinion
that the gold quartz was washed from
the neighboring hills.
Miners, vino are familiar with placer
mining, think that as in the old days Of
Ely, gold running $40 to the ton was
taken from Robinson canyon, and gold
has been found in the mountains east
of the camp, there must be good placer
digging in Steptoe valley in the gravel
underneath the surface soil. Thoy
think that the rains of ages must have
washed vast quantities of gold from
Robinson canyon into the valley, and
that gold must have been carried into
the low lands from the mountains to
the west.
The workmen in the water ditch
told of the finding Of gold while build
ing the water system, and this, COM
bined with the discovery of nuggets
in the craws of chickens, started rush
for placer ground In Steptoe valley.
A number of Ely men went out yester-
day and took up ground northeast Of
the Ely City townsite. Hundreds OF
acres we're taken up.
1t is probable that Steptoe valley will
be thoroughly prospected for placer gold.
Several of the men who have taken up
placer claims state that they intend to
make open cuts to solid formation to
determine whether the theories that
the gravel contains gold are correct.

to aid the lea que.
This sum was raised at various public
meetings that DR.. Hyde addressed, and in

explained the cause OF the Irish Ian qua &c to
perhaps 1000 people or more. and ] have
