the court he ha walked all the way
from Missouri living on the contributions
of persons who stopped to listen to his
preaching in the street
Favorably impressed by the straight
forward talk of the young Christian, he
is but % years of age, Judge Melrose
discharged him.
The Judge had occasion to come to
Los Angeles yesterday, and when he
told District Attorney Fredericks of the

INVESTING THOUSANDS
IN UTAH OIL STOCKS
NEW VIRGIN RIVER FIELD LOOKS
GOOD TO MANY
Rush to Washington County Continues,
While Preparations to Drill Go
Forward-News Goes All
Over the World

Thousands of dollars of stock in the
Los Angeles-Utah Oil company, controlled
by the Harper-SchenckM Montgomery syn
dictate of Los Angeles, have been sold, and
as soon as the necessary $4,000 has been
raised the stock will be withdrawn, 1t is
stated.
The city hall crowd desires to raise
enough to pay for the first three rigging
outfits which cost 100000 alone, and the
preliminary expenses, so that active pros
pecting can be started on the 1000 acres
which the first company controls In the
Virgin river Utah oil fields
Then the original owners will shut
down on further sales, as all indications
point to immense wealth buried in the
oil sands of Utah.
Prospectors and oil men are going into
the district in Washington county by
every train.
The material for the special train to be
sent forward by Mayor Harper's friends
with machinery, supplies, mules and
laborers are being assembled rapidly. A
number of mining men will go at the
same time.
Correspondence and calls on Mayors
Secretary. Herbert D. Kennedy at the
city hall keep on at all hours and many
inquiries are answered.
The Associated Press has sent tele-
grams to newspapers all over the world
concerning the new finds and in a few
days the effect of this stimulus will be
noticed in many arrivals and heavy cor
respondence.
Joseph R. Bush, formerly of Salt Lake
City, now in Los Angeles, has gone over
southwestern Utah for years. He says
he knew of field about 100 miles from
the Virgin river strike which is full of
oil indications. Only lack of capital kept
him from making filing and doing develop
ment work. He will now go into the field
as soon as he can organize a syndicate
of his own, and he laid his plans before

GOLDEIELDERS PLAN
STOCK EXCHANGE
COMMITTEE RETURNS A FAVOR.
ABLE REPORT
Organization of Institution to Handle
Nevada Securities Is Assured.
General Belief Venture
VIII Be Success

The committee of fifteen appointed last
new Goldfield Stock exchange, to be To-
Gated in this city, held meeting yes
terday afternoon at the Alexandria hotel.
A plan of organization was adopted in
the shape of general report and will
be presented at an open meeting of Ne
vada mining men tonight.
While there Is little doubt that min
ing exchange handling Nevada stocks
will be organized here, it is understood
that considerable opposition will have tc
be met by the promoters growing out OF
personal differences between Ernest
Kennedy and w. ]. Brewer, once partners
and now financial enemies.
Mr.. Kennedy was "strikingly upset"
when asked last evening as to the result
of the meeting of the committee. He
expressed and stood by his pronounced
determination of compelling the public to
await the regular report of the commit
tee to the regular organization.
A Goldfeld mining man said last night:
Los Angeles is doubtless hanging out of
the windows. in anticipation of the re-
lease of Mr.. Kennedy's account of the
meeting
A disinterested member claims that the
seats on the Goldfeld exchange are be-
ing held at from $4,000 to $4,000 each, and
as this is considered an exorbitant price
it is the opinion of the gentleman re-
ferred to, who was early on the ground
at Nevada, that the Los Angeles ex-
change will be a winner.
The committee which has framed the
report to the general body consists of
we'll known men of Nevada and Los An
geles, namely, P. W. Ross, chairman;
F. ]. Heron, Ernest Kennedy, R. l..
Cheney, d. e. Burris, William Cline,
Robert Burke, H. C. PARROT, Frank K.
Rule, George Wingf1eld, Fielding j. Still

COMMUNICATE
ACROSS 0t2E AN

NORTH. SIDNEY, N. S, Oct. IA
Arrangements for wireless communi-
cations between Europe and America
have so far progressed that the trans
Atlantic service may be taken for an
assured fact. William Marconi, the
Italian inventor, will within fortnight
leave for the station at Clifton island,
the European terminal, where he in
tends to conduct further experiments
looking to the transmission of aerial
messages direct to the Pacifica coast.
A station will be erected at Vancou-
yer, B. c., as part of this plan, which
is intended as one of the preliminary
stages of wireless communication
around the world. Mr.. Marconi has
been at the Glace Bay station in the
last two weeks experimenting with
long-distance communication, looking
tn the inauguration of the trans-At-
lantic service, which is expected to be
placed at the disposition of commercial
business within few days.
The report that communication with
the Philippines had been made by the
/ Cape Breton station was stated by Mr.
Marconi to be incorrect.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct, IA
Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nues Capers vs. rendered a decision
TO the manufacture and sale of
alleged medical alcoholic compounds
where analysis shows that said alleged
medical compounds are suitable for

The commissioner, in brief, holds
that a special ak is required for the
manufacture and sale of alleged me-
dicinal alcoholic compounds or for the
sale of malt extracts manufactured
from fermented liquors or drugs used
IN manufacture which are not suffi-
cient in amount or character to render
the compound unfit as a beverage, or
in the case of cordials, extracts or es-
sences in which the amount Of alcohol
is greater than is necessary to preserve
the ingredients or to extract the prop
critics, to cut the oils and hold the
same in solution.
Manufacturers of such preparations
in order to avoid such liability for spe-
cial taxes, must satisfy themselves
that such products are within the lin
it's defined.
