continued advance, because of the in
creased volume of business, and the
increasing number of business

ing the spring and summer.

USED DESK TO
END HIS LIFE
Boy Accused Of Minor Offense
Kills Himself in Strange
Manner

Carterville, ILL.,, March 13.-John
Smith, a boy l 5 years old, threat
ened with arrest for selling a calf S
hide a week ago and in hiding since,
was found dead with broken neck
in a Fordville church early this
morning, having committed suicide
i'll Il unique manner. He had raised
one end of heavy roll-top desk and,
putting his neck under the foot rest
connecting the two sections of the
desk, had knocked away the prop,
allowing the heavy desk to fall on
his throat, fracture his neck and
strangle him to death. Apparently
fearful that he would not succeed in
this way, the boy still clutched in his
hand a sharp knife, doubtless for
use as second resort in seeking
death.
Young Smith had evidently bro
ken into the church several daYs ago
as the best place to conceal himself.
His pockets contained a lot of loose
corn, and he is supposed to have
subsisted on the grain for several
days. Fearing he would be discov-
cred when the church was opened for
services today, he Killed himself.

At the hearing of the Willis case
before Justice Cartwright yesterday
afternoon in which Frank Willis the
bartender accused of cracking the
safe at the salon of w. r. Bassett,
last Friday evening, the defendant
was dismissed, there not being suf-
ficient evidence to warrant case.
The court held that, after hearing
all the testimony that could be pro-
duced by the prosecution there was
absolutely no grounds for the COM
plant other than pure circumstantial
evidence and that was of the frail-
est nature.
The, testimony brought out the fact
that Willis. Mr.. Bassett and his son
in law were the only persons know
ing the combination of the safe. and
as everybody but Mr.. Willis had been
at home at the time the deed must
have been committed, suspicion was
naturally cast upon Mr.. Willis.

JEROME SAYS HUMMEL
TESTIMONY is VITAL
Attorneys For Thaw Attempt to
Exclude discriminating
Evidence
SpEcIAL To TIE NEWS

New York, March 13.--There was
but short session today of the court
trying Harry X. Thaw for the muir
der OF Stanford White, adjournment
until tomorrow being taken shortly
after noon.
This action was taken partly to
give Mr.. Delmas an opportunity to
consult the authorities and prepare
an argument in reply 10 an impas-
stoned appeal BY District Attorney
jerome for the admission of testi-
mony by abraham Hummel in con-
tradiction of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's
evidence, and partly upon the state
ment of Mr.. jerome that il he is al
lowed the afternoon in which to COM
plete the hypothetical questions to
be put to his experts, he thought the
state could close it's case in rebuttal
tomorrow night. He said he had
been assured by Mr.. Delmas that his
cross-eXamination Of the experts
would not be long. The matter of
Hummel's testifying was still unde-
cided.
Mr.. jerome spoke for more than
an hour today contending that Hum
mel's testimony is tbs most vital in
the case.
Il will show that this woman
swore under oath that she had been
beaten by Thaw in Paris, because
she would not sign papers he had
prepared and which falsely accused
Stanford White of drugging and be-
traying her"
Mr.. jerome declared that the ma
terial issue of the case was as to
whether Evelyn Nesbit Thaw told
her story to Thaw in Paris.
IF she did not tell that story,
concluded jerome, then the case of
the mans insanity disappears, and |
claim the right to show that Evelyn
Nesbit herself denied her story told
to this jury"

Tribute to Alan. I.Ovey.

with a song upon his lips Alan
l.. Lovey succumbed to pneumonia at
Reno this morning.
As Alan l.. Lovey died, so he had
lived, with song upon his lips.
Brave and cheerful, happy and op-
timistic, not daunted by the seeming
reverses of life and ever ready to do
his part and add a bit of sunshine
to the dun colored world with his
smile and hearty good fellowship.
Alan l.. Loyey was a man admired
by those who knew him but slightly,
and loved by those with whom he
was. more closely associated.
Lovey was hard worker and was
loyal to the interests of those for
whom he worked, but this he had
never allowed to warp personal re-
gard for those who were the subjects
of his pen Those whose weaknesses
and follies were exposed by the Bit
ing, cutting sarcasm of his cartoons,
never had i'll feeling for Lovey, rec
ognizing behind the artist the man.
Lovey's reputation was national.
His political cartoons, particularly on
national topics, were extensively cop
led by the leading magazines and
journals of the country, the highest
praise that can be given to news
paper artist. His career was sue
cess from the standpoint of newspa-
perdom, from the time he entered
the profession. His appreciation of
the humorous was keen, and his rec
ognition of the ridiculous was finely
developed Had he chosen literature
instead of art as his career, he could
have been equally successful.
But it was Loyey the man. even
more than Lovey the artist, who was
admired and loved. Those who knew
him are sincere in their expressions
of sympathy for his bereaved widow
and little family.

Root Has Fun with Reporters.

Secretary Root is skillful fencer
with reporters. On one occasion they
knew of an important dispatch which
had been received, but could not learn
anything as to its contents. He as
sured them that the dispatch had not
been suppressed; it had simply not
been given out. In fact" he added,
with great gravity, "the dispatch is
not given out in accordance with the
policy of this department to give out
nothing which in its Judgment is Of
such a nature that its contents ought

Vacate Chamber

Salt Lake, March Serious
charges were brought this morning
by Representative John C. Critchlow
of Salt Lake against Harry J. Joseph,
speaker of the house. The affair
happened so quickly, charges and
counter-charges and denials followed
SO rapidly upon each other, that the
turbulent house was almost convert
ed into prize ring.

speaker of this house with shameless
and degrading conduct in that he

''Sit down." yelled the chairman.

You will sit down or the sergeant

threatened the speaker.

have the Galveston bill taken from
the table, but his motion was de-
clared lost and his motion for a roll
call ignored.

RICH STRIKE IN
MIZPAH DISTRICT
At a Depth of Thirty.Five Feet
Picture Rock Discovered On
Banigan & Brady Group

Adyices were received last night
by Judge d. w. Shelter, one of the
owners of the Banigan & Brady
group of claims at Mizpah, that the
shaft on the Jumbo claim had pene-
trated the main ledge of mineral at
a depth of 35 feet
According to the information re-
ceived by Judge Shelter, the ledge
carries surprising values in free gold
in copper and in silver and Is esti-
mated TO be 100 feet thick. The
shaft tapped the main body at the
point OF junction of the Nevada Nor
thern, Jumbo and the Consolidated
lodges.
"It was not thought the ledge
would be reached until depth of
so feet had been attained, said
Judge Shelter last night, but in
stead of taking the course we had
expected the ledge dips at an angle
of As degrees. At this point, If our
measures and estimates are not all
wrong, the ledge is not less than so
feet in thickness. and from that it
may run to 100 feet.
The values carried on the point
tapped are'very gratifying as the free
gold is much more plentiful than on
the surface, and the copper values
are increasing with depth.
"A second shaft will be sunk at a
distance from the Jumbo. and the
ledge will be thoroughly explored and
its extent demonstrated as thorough
ly as possible.
Another shaft has been sunk on
the Nevada Northern claim to 5
foot depth. This is still in country
rock but it is expected that it will
catch the ledge on the dip, at the
point of union of the two lodges.
THE ore that we have now uncov-
cred is so rich that we can send 1t
to Salt Lake for treatment, with a
large margin for profit. We can af-
ford to pay the freight and smelter
charges there and still have sufficient
margin to make ourselves comforta-
BILE. We are certainly satisfied with
our property and it is not for sale. y
