FIRST CONVICTION
OF IMPORTANCE
YOUTH GIVEN TWENTY YEARS
FOR ATTACKING FIFTEEN
YEAR-OLD GIRL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-The first
real conviction since New York's
great crime wave began was secured
in the court of general sessions to-
day, when Frederick Schonland was
found guilty of attacking a 15-year-
old girl He will be sentenced to 20
years in Sing Sing.
The youth, VINO lived at No. 1876
East One Hundred and Nineteenth
street, enticed Jennie Tobert, of No.
IA Boston Road, from the public
school at One Hundred and Sixty
ninth street and Clinton avenue, to
a candy store. He took her to thea
ter and later to a lodging house in
East Broadway. He kept her pris-
oner there for several days and was
bargaining to sell her into a house in
the neigh hborhood when Policeman
Reardon, of the West One Hundred
and Sixteenth street station, happen
ed along and heard the conversation.
He promptly arrested Schonland.
He was tried before Judge ROsal-
sky. The jury after IS minutes de-
liberation, announced that they
would find the man guilty if the ju-
rist would give him no more than two
yers. Infuriated, Judge Rosalsky de-
nounced the jurors and ordered a
new trial. The jury in Judge Cranes

RECENTLY LEFT ELY
YOUNG WOMAN WHO DIED IN

CAL DANCE HALL.

Few people were aware that Miss
Frances Earl, the beautiful young
woman who died the other day while
automobiling in San Francisco, only
recently left Ely in company with the
young woman who was with her
when she expired.
Readers of Tuesday mornings S
News recall the dispatch from San
Francisco concerning the affair. 1t
seems the young lady, in company
with George Forbes, Miss Pearl Shell
ton and Harry McHenry, were auto
MODELLING along the Cliff House speed
way when Miss Earl tainted. They
rushed with all speed for the Park
hospital, but when they arrived there
the physicians pronounced her dead.
The hospital attendants had the other
woman and two men arrested.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the woman had been drinking alb
sinthe, which, it is said, affected her
heart and death resulted.

July 11th and for some time stayed
at one of the dance houses in the
red-light district They left here and

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
| At THE SHELTER
PLAN TO HAVE CONCENTRATOR
WORKING BY THE FIRST OF
THE YEAR.

Those who have been out to the
smelter lately are surprised at the
progress of the work at the institu-
tion. During the past two months
the builders have accomplished a
great deal
The machine shops will be the
most complete in the west, the cost
being far in excess of 100000.
Mostly anything in the way of ma
chinery can be handled In these
shops.
The steel work on the concentrator
is nearing completion, the first Sec
tion of the concentrator having ca
pacity of $50 tons daily. IT. is the
intention to have the concentrator
working by the first of the year at
the latest, when, no doubt, there will
be busy times at the smelter. The
roasters are to be built at the south
end of the smelter yard and are to
be of the McDougal type, such as are
used in the large Washoe smelter at
Anaconda. The flues and dust cham
bers, which are to be used from the
roasters, are just under way.
The reverbatory furnaces are to be
among the largest in the world. Fin
ishing touches are now being made in
the excavation work by the L.y Con-
struction company.
The power plant is the next de-
partment of the smelter of import
ance at the present time. The steel
structures are nearly completed. The
machinery is at hand for the steam
plant, which will generate $4,000
horsepower. This plant and that at
Duck Creek will cost the company
81, 900, 900. which gives faint idea
of the immensity of plant that
needs such electric power.
The excavation for the converter
room has been completed by the con-
struction company, which is now
trning its attention to the high grade
ore line. There are two large grad
ing camps along the line at the pres
ent time.
Several concrete structures are be-
ing built for Office use,. residences,
etc. The assay room is the most
complete in the west. All buildings
are composed of concrete blocks such
as are being used in the construction
of the hospital at Ely City.
Fully 500 men are employed at the
smelter and the yards are about
three-quarters of mile in length.

ARE WELL PLEASED
WITH THIS COUNTRY
+. l.. FLETCHER AND CURLY
JONES NOTE GREAT I'M
PROVEMENT HERE.

E. l.. Fletcher and Curly Jones
prominent mining men of Tonopah
arrived in Ely yesterday in company
with Judge Bush. The two gentle
men have been viewing mining prop
critics at Muncey, and are well
pleased with the mining prospects In
this vicinity.
I'VE left on the 18TH" said Mr.
Fletcher to a News representative,
land made the 500 miles in II
hours. We examined the Judges
property, as well as some other
mines. | understand Judge Bush S
property, which runs in lead and sill
yer, was located in 1872. Other
claims we looked at run in copper. y
1t was year ago when Mr.. Flet-
cher was in Ely last and the News
man asked him whether he noticed
any changes in this vicinity.
Il should say | do" he replied.
ELY has made remarkable strides.
have great faith in the camp and the
immense bodies of low grade copper
ore found in the formation that
abounds here are good Indications of
long life for the camp. Such a
camps and will be lively place when
camps an dwill be lively place when
the latter are dead"
He stated that it was rather quiet
at Tonopah and Goldfeld at the pres
ent, the tendency in the east for mon-
ey to become scarce having had its
effect out west already. Mr.. Fletcher
stated that the wildcat mining was
becoming thing of the past and that
much legitimate mining was now be-
ing done at Goldfield and Tonopah.
I'VE spent day at the Cleveland
ranch" he said, land had a cup of
coffee with Mrs. Cleveland. The
Cleveland place is beautiful spot
and there must be thirty miles of
ranch. Some day that locality will
be settled as there is plenty of room
on the $4,000 acres for many fami-
lies. There are good mining pros
poets up and down throughout the en-
tire district and | would say they are
much better than the average"
The two gentlemen will return by
way of Hamilton and may spend a
day or so there They have had a
very pleasant trip and will probably
take over some mining properties as
the result of their visit to White Pine
county.

Situation in Arizona.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Aug. IT,
Since the declaration of general
strike meager advices as to condi-
tions in southern California and Ari-
zona have been received in this city.
In some directions it is known that
the traffic was seriously interrupted.
while at other points the usual press
report is handled apparently without
difficulty.
At Phoenix, Ariz., 1T is stated that
every Western Union operator walk
ed out, and that only the manager of
the Office remained to handle bust
ness.
At Ashfork. Ariz., the chief repeat
ing station for the Postal between
Los Angeles and the east, three out
of the five men walked out Manager
Lewis of the local Postal office stated
that he would tomorrow send two
operators to fill the places.
Since yesterday the Western Union
has been unable to reach Prescott
with any press matter and it is sur
missed that there are no operators
available there.
At San Diego, Cal, one operator is
reported to have obeyed the general
strike order.
No advices have been received
from other points.

STRIKE SITUATION
REMAINS ABOUT SAME
OPERATORS AT SALT LAKE AP-
PEAR TO BE HOPEFUL OF
OUTCOME

SALT LAKE, Aug. 19.-The West
ern Union in Salt Lake today gained
two operators. They came from
taken on for steady employment, in
creasing the force under Manager
Long to nine men. Mr.. Long, HIM
self, continued to operate key, how
ever, and spent this morning taking
Associated Press dispatches.
The Postal company is still doing
business with an equipment which, it
is declared, is sufficient to handle all
the business presented, although 1t
is admitted that this amount Is less
than normal. The Western Union
force is also handling all business
presented Subject to delay" but
claims that all messages go rapidly,
although not many are filed.
At strike headquarters in the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor hall today, the usual
hopefulness for the outcome was in
evidence. President Palm and his
forces are very busy preparing for a
long seige, recruiting the local treas
ury, and holding in line any wavering
brother who might feel desire to
get back to his key.
Local Not Old.
"This whole local union," he said,
has been built up in the past year.
But you find just as many boys here
this Monday as there were last, when
we left the Western Union Offices to
call the first strike meeting. No, we
are not starving out. We are happy,
and we are preparing for long and
protracted fight. We already have
$500 assured for our benefit from
the sale of tickets for the benefit next
Friday night.

Something ought to be done in
regard to the number of policemen
we should have" said Councilman
Root.
I'VE ought to pass an ordinance al
lowing the city marshal so many po-
licemen,' suggested the mayor.
IF the marshal needs help he
should make an application to the
council" said Councilman Carbon.
II spoke to the mayor before the
Fourth of July" said City Marshal
Hudgens, "and he advised me to get
help, so l engaged assistance. have
had some help ever since. l thought
l had the right under those condi-
tions to get help. The men employed
have done good service and they
should be paid"
81 don't want to butt in," remark
ed City Attorney Walker, "but
think | can throw little light upon
the subject. There is only one man
who has any right to be paid and he
is the city marshal. In such cases
of necessity where the mayor ap-
points others they should be paid for
their services during that time.
Il realize Mr.. Hudgens has been
working very hard, but he need not
do so. In fact, UP to last night, when
the first ordinance on misdemeanors
went into effect, he could have gone
home and taken it easy, as there was
legally nothing for him to do. Mr.
Hudgens has been performing many
of the sheriff's duties. All he has to
do is to enforce those ordinances that
are now in effect think these dep
uties he has appointed should be paid
as they have done good work, al
though legally they are not entitled
to any pay. The county has just as
much to do with enforcing the laws
in Ely as it originally had"
1t was finally decided to have May
or Clark appoint two deputies for the
next two weeks and in the meantime
City Attorney Walker will prepare
an ordinance permitting the city to
have police force of whatever num-
ber of men the council deems fit.
