GUN TALK IN
COMPANY WAR
President Reeves Of MOntana-Ne.
vada Shows Hostile Directors
Glimpse of Revolver
FIGHT OVER CONTROL
Opponents of Those in Power Win
and Choose New Officers
For Company

High words and glimpse of revol-
yer marked the meeting of the direct
ors of the Montana-N Nevada Copper
Company Monday night in the Office of
C. R. Reeves, the president of the cor
poration.
According to information furnished
THE News after the meeting, the di-
rectors of the company, Morris Roberts,
10 seph Lehr, R. H. HASTE and George
Devecmon, met early in the evening.
Mr.. Devecmon at once rendered his
resignation. 1t was accepted. An
thony Zurich was then chosen to fill
the vacancy. Mr.. Devecmon retired
after handing in his resignation, and
Mr.. Zurich a little later entered the
meeting. The first thing he said on
taking his seat, was:
Il move that Mr.. Reeves be removed
from the office of president for mis-
management of the affairs of the COM
pany.'
This angered Mr.. Reeves and vio-
lent dispute followed. Mr.. Reeves, ii
is said, reached in his hip pocket for
his revolver, and finding it not there,
threw open one of the drawers of his
desk, where the formidable weapon
glittered in the electric light. The
directors dissuaded him from using the
shooting iron.
Calmer words followed and the by
laws of the corporation were consulted.
They showed that the directors had the
power to remove the president
Mr.. Reeves Immediately rendered his
resignation. 1t was accepted and Nor
ris Roberts was chosen to fill the place.
Mr.. Zurich was elected secretary.
Mr.. Reeves has a sli ghtly differen
version of the affair. 81 called the

ments could be made for a stockhold-

set of directors. This was matter

CAR SHORTAGE DUE
TO COUNTRY'S PROSPERITY
Special to THE NEWS.

Special to THE NEWS.
New Orleans, Jan. S-Geo. J. Gould,
head of the Gould railroad system, is
quoted today on the car shortage prob
lem: "The car shortage is not alto
gether the fault of the railroads. The
big car users are partly responsible in
not preparing loading and unloading
facilities in proportion to their business.
Merchants and shippers have failed to
take account of the increase by many
times of the amount of business handled
by them. The general prosperity of
the country is to blame as well as the
growth of new sections. +"

RICHARD SAYS STRIKE
IS PRACTICALLY OVER

G. L. Rickard is sure that the Gold
field strike will be settled in few
DAYS. He returned from Goldfield last
night
"The mine-owners met yesterday to
discuss plans for settlement nf the
trouble" he said. Everybody is
anxious to see the strike brought to an
end. Things looked so favorable for a
settlement when l left Goldfield that
the dispute may already have been ad-
iusted."

''The problems of the housekeeper
are receiving from the architects of
houses something of the attention they
have long claimed in vain," writes
John l.. Anderton in the May Woman's
Home Companion. ''The solution of
the sweeping problem is case in point.
In one of the newest apartment houses
there is not broom to be found from
cellar to garrett, or rather from the
third subcellar to the aircleaning
chamber on the roof. Every suite
throughout the building is equipped
with a vacuum cleaning apparatus.
There is a pipe connected with the
vacuum chamber in the basement in
every suite, while flexible hose long
enough to reach to the furthest corner
OF every room is supplied, which may
be readily alta ched to a nozzle in this
piping just as you would connect at
garden hose. The vacuum is controlled
by spiggot. 1t is only necessary to
pass the nozzle of this vacuum hose
over the carpet, rug or drapery, and
every particle of dust is instantly
drawn up inty the hose The dirt col
lected in this way passes quickly
through the hose into the pipe, and
thence, perhaps a matter of dozen
stories, to chamber in, the subcellar,
where attendant shovels II up aud cal
ries it away. The nozzle which picks
up this dnst allows no particle to es.
cape, so that in all this sweeping there
is literally no dust Incidentally
removes more dust than the most per-
sistent and vigorous broom, The en-
tire operation of sweeping might be
carried on with the sweeper in evening
dress, so far, at least, as cleanliness is
concerned. The work of hours is re-
duced to minutes"

There were many people in
Smyrna who were hoping that
when the Pennsylvania Railroad
put their new timetable into effect,
the Smyrna Branch would be put on
10 connect with the Sunday trains.
A new schedule went into effect
Sunday and DESPITE the fact that
two more Sunday trains were put
on, the citizens of Smyrna and pat
rons of the road residing east of
town are put to the inconvenience
of driving to Clayton or securing
passage by one of our hack routes.
While the Sunday travel from
Smyrna is limited, still there is no
reason why Smyrna should be ig-
nored when there are many less
important towns who get The SER
vice. The people of Smyrna
should enter protest by petition
ing the Railroad Company to have
the Smyrna Branch connect the
same on Sunday as it does week
days. Sunday trains in great
many cases have proven to be
necessary conveniences and as long
as trains are running down the
state on the Sabbath, Smyrna
should have as good a service as
its sister towns. Let the people
agitate it.

Deafness Cannon Be Cured

disease portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure dea fness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inhamed
condition of the mucous lining of the EusIachian
Tube. When this tube is intamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, hear

LETTER TO JOSEPH II. WRIGHT.
Smyrna Dal.

Dear Sir: HeIe's honesty for YOU!
North Dakota has a yure paint law.
Prof. Ladd, the state chemist analyses
a certain paint labled contains only
lead and zinc and is strictly pure, -
and finds it no lead at all, a resinous
oil, and benzine. 1t is, however, full
measure and contains no water.
That's like the mau on trial for kill
ing his grandmother; proved that he
didn't set fire to the house.
No lead, but zinc and barytes, resin
Ous oil, and benzine-'' strictly pure
lead and zinc paint"
Pure paint is lead ad-zinc-and-olI; but
that isn't all; there is such thing as
proportion and make. The strongest
paint is Devoe.
North Dakota is doing a handsome
thing in holding there confidence
people up to scorn. She gives their
names as we'll as their works.
Yours truely.

Pertinent to the subject Of farm
help, a question which much per
plexes every farmer of Smyrna and
vicinity, the Milford Chronicle has
the following to say: "The grangers
are demanding that the State Board
of Agriculture shall get prompt
and satisfactory returns out of the
FIVE thousand dollars that they were
given to benefit farmers by bring
ing into Delaware farm help. At
the county grange meeting held at
Laurel last week, resolutions call
ing for prompt action were adopted,
and if it is possible to relieve the
tension in farm labor demand in
Delaware, it is up to the State
Board of Agriculture to make good;
or future legislatures will have but
scant respect for that body. For
our part. we have but little faith in
the effort, but wish it success. 1t
has been the custom for half a cen
tury to educate boys and girls to
the idea, that home in a great city,
or to have day wages in some small
town, is far more desired than the
life ofa farmer. Probably the effort
to change the teachings of life
time will be hard to up-root, but it
must be done before the people will
turn to the farm again. A hustling
young man will accumulate money
more rapidly on a farm he manages
intelligently. than he can accumu-
late in any city by the labor of his
hands. If rural consolidation o.
schools were brought about, an
the children of prosperous farm
ing district educated at or neat
farms where their parents are max
ing money, much of the desire to &c
to towns and cities would be eradi
Gated in the young people of thi:
day, and farming districts would
hsve the advantage of a hiphe
grade of intelligent young farmers
We firmly believe that rural consol
idation of schools, will do more 70
the farmer than all the State BcarC
of Agriculture combined. But tn
present emergency must be met
and the state has provided mean
to meet it, so it is up to that depart
ment to make good"
