everywhere in the sale OF intoxi-

There was a timein thiscounty

liquor licenses almost supported

rampant as ever, without the
former relief from taxes. Ii we

State Mine Inspectors Eighth
Annual Report.

Nugget has received from Ro-
bert N. Bell, State Inspector Of
Mines, a copy OF his report for
the year 1906. Thereportmakes
a pamphlet of 176 pages. The
opening or Introductory giving
the number of fatal accidents oc-
curing at mines within thestate
during the year, at II, from the
following causes: Explosion of
blasting compounds 6; falling
ground 4; falling from staging i;
tramway accident 1; falling down
ore chutes and fill-holes 4; hand
ling timber 1.
He makes a number Of sugges-
tions regarding changes which
his experience has shown him
should be made in the state min
ing laws togive prospectors more
encouragement to develop claims
on lands which have been acquir-
ed by the state.
He states the duties required
of his department and suggests
that the Inspector should have
an assistant or deputy, and a
fund sufficient to carry out the
duties OF the officein keeping with
the Importance of the industry.
The total production OF gold,
silver, lead and copper from the
state is given for the year 1906,
by his estimate, at 24,13S,317,
a little more than $4,000, 900
of which amount is credited to
the lead production OF Shoshone
county.
The largest production Of gold
is credited to Owyhee county,
$17S, 692, while this county is
exceeded only by Shoshonein the
production Of silver during the
year, its values amounting to
$4S6,713, while the silver pro
duction OF Shoshone amounted
to 5,251, 1857.
Sixteen out of the 81 counties
in the state are credited with
having produced both gold and
silver. while the valuable phos-
phate deposits ofanother county,
the lead, copper and other min
erals in several counties, and the
valuable coal deposits mat least
three counties swell the import
ance Of the mining industry in
our great state.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1907.

SO far as the interests of Owy-
hee county are concerned, we
hope the bill introduced by Re
preventative Weaver of Gilmore,
repeating the anti-gambling law,
and licensing games carried on
with the restrictions provided
for in his bill may become a law.
1t provides for a license for car
rying on a gambling game of$75
for the first month and $50 per
month thereafter. No games to
be run on a ground floor or in a
front room; no minors allowed
in the room; prohibits the use of
marked cards and all other cheat
ing devices, and provides severe
penalties for conducting games
without a license, or for a viola
tion of any of the restrictions
provided. The revenue from the
licenses goes chiefly to the sup
port OF the public schools.
The anti-gamblinglaw has now
been in existence in this state for
at least a dozen years. Except
for a few spasmodic instances
where attempts have been vainly
made to enforce it, it has been a
dead letter on ourstatute books,
and gambling has been carried
on in nearly every county and
town in the state almost as open
ly and brazenly as if no law ex-
listed.
Officers whose duty it is to see
that all laws are strictly enforced
have frequently been given to
men for the very reason that it
is known that they will wink at
violations OF laws not in accord
with popular sentiment; and
where officers have systematically
attempted to enforce the laws,
they have found such weak sup
port from citizens that their at
tempts most often provefailures.
Gambling had better be left to
the control Of town and city or
dinances than to have its control
undertaken by the state, where
so many communities and entire
counties will wink at transgres-
sions OF such a law.
Accepting the abstract propo-
sition that it is a moral wrong
to license a vice-and all will con-
cede that gambling is a vice-is
it not better to regulate d vice
than to make feeble and such
futile attempts to suppress it?
We have other vices nearly or
quite as rampantin these modern
times as ever.
But gambling, like the drink
habit, will never be suppressed,
but, like the sale OF intoxicants

LAWYER SUDDENLY
STRICKEN BY DEATH
PROMINENT ATTORNEY FOUND
LlFELEss BY WIFE
Judge David Allen, Pioneer Resident
and Former City Official, Passes
Away at His Home on
Grattan Street

Judge David Allen, one of the best
known local attorneys, died of neuralgia
of the heart yesterday morning. Judge
Allen was one of the pioneers of Los
Angeles and one of the oldest members
of the local legal fraternity.
Judge Allen was apparently in good
health Monday. He visited the office OF
the district attorney, where he made
out a number of papers and talked with
several of his old-time associates. Later
he accompanied his son to the train to
bid him coed by when the young man
departed on a trip to San Francisco.
He retired early Monday night at his
home, 1926 Grattan street, and nothing
was heard of him until his wife went
to awaken him for breakfast. He was
found lying dead in bed. Judge Allen
was 72 years of age. The last fifteen
years of his life he has been resident
of Los Angeles and has been prominent
in civic affairs.
For four years he occupied the position
of deputy district attorney and later re-
turned to private practice. He is well
known among attorneys of Los Angeles
and old employees at the court house
knew him intimately.
Prior to his coming to Los Angeles
Judge Allen held the position of district
attorney in Ohio.
He is survived by a wife and one son,
an insurance agent.
An inquest will be held at the under
taking parlors of Overholtzer & Mills.
Funeral arrangements will be announced
later.

NURSE OVERPOWERS PATIENT
IN STRUGGLE ON STREET
H. E. Smith, Several Times Escaped
from County Hospital, Breaks
Away from Captors at
City Jail

But for the quick action of Earl Whit
ney, nurse at the receiving hospital,
yesterday afternoon man thought to be
insane might now be roaming the streets.
The man is H. E. Smith, and the only ac~
count of himself he gave to the police
was that he lives on Long Beach avenue.
lie was arrested while wandering about
in the University district Monday night
by Officer Fletcher and taken to the city
JAIL where he remained until yesterday
afternoon.
AS the man was being taken from the
receiving hospital to the county hospital
ambulance he broke away and made q
dash down First street toward Broadway
Whitney, who was carrying stretcher on
which was another patient for the county
institution, put down his burden and
made quick run for the escaping man.
He caught Smith, and after sharp
though short struggle succeeded in plac-
ing him in the ambulance.
Smith will be examined as to his sanity.
Ie has been an inmate of the county hos
pital several times previously, and each
time has escaped.

PROSECUTOR REPAYS KIND
ACT OF A DECADE AGO
Attorney Alexander Pays Fine of a
Beggar Who Once Saved His Life
by Guiding Doctor to Iso-
lated Camp

A kind act of ten years ago had it's
sequel yesterday in the office of Deputy
Prosecutor Alexander when man, ar
rested on a charge of begging. was re-
leased with his fine paid and renewed
expressions of good will warming his
heart
William Selamaker was arrested Mon
day afternoon charged with violation
of the ordinance prohibiting begging.
When he was taken into court yesterday
morning Attorney Alexander noticed
something about the man that carried
his memory back years before. A short
talk disclosed the fact that ten years
ago Selamaker had been instrumental in
saving the attorneys arm from amputa-
ron and perhaps his life.
Ten years ago while Alexander and a
party of friends were on hunting trip
the attorney was wounded in the right
arm by the accidental discharge Of a
gun. The hunting grounds were located
far from any settlement and there was
TO person with medical or surgical
knowledge in the party, and the wound
was of such a nature that the services
Of doctor were imperatively necessary
Selamaker. who Vas then, as now, vic
tim of the wanderlust, appeared and
volunteered to find C. physician.
II was ten miles to the nearest town
and Selamaker walked the entire dis
tance, secured a physician and guided
Kim to the hunters camp.
The complaint against Selamaker was
issued yesterday by Attorney Alexander
himself and when the fine was imposed
the prosecutor paid it.

CITY MAY FIND USE FOR
SHELVED VOTING MACHINES
Auditor Mushet Wants the Apparatus
Tried at Coming Fire Bond Elec-
tion and Save Money
Thereby

Cl.y Auditor w. C. Mushet will today
urge the city council to pass reso-
luton providing for the use of the city's
voting machines in the coming fire bonds
election.
Examination of the machines at Chi
cago has convinced theTauditor that after
all Los Angeles was not so badly beaten
in its bargain when it bought $4,000
worth of the mechanical voting ap-
paratus.
The city and county own los machines,
the city owning a half interest in thir-
teen of the county machines also.
During the use of fourteen machines
at an election some time ago one in
Boyle Heights was jammed and put out
of service Some city officials think this
was Intentionally done. In other pre-
cincts it was claimed they were too slow
and by the time polls closed all of the
voters had not been accommodated
Mr. Mushet thinks the machines can
be used after demonstrations have been
given in the wards four days ahead of
the next election and that they will save
the city $4,000 In election expenses.
If the machines are deemed imprac-
ticable after a test the next plan will
be to sell the machines and save the
cost of storage and tied up funds.
