To Make Good Shortage
in County Clerks
Office

WINNEMUCCA, July 2S.-The cou-
nty commissioners have complained
to the bondsmen of County Clerk
Grove Hill that shortage exists in
the County Clerks office of more than
$500. 1t is claimed that since March
of this year County Clerk Grover Hill
of Humboldt and his Deputy, George
Hill, have not turned one cent of their
fees, amounting to more than $500,
into the county treasury and there
fore their account is short.
The County Clerk is bonded to the
amount of $4,000 and his bondsmen
who are among the most prominent
men of Winnemucca, have reached an
agreement with the County Comis
sioners whereby County Clerk Hill
and his deputy will be allowed to
make up the amount missing out of
their salaries. This the young men
have promised to do to avoid prose-
charge of the office and will care
for all funds until the first of the
year, when, if the young men have
not made good the amount they are
short, they will be prosecuted.
George Hill, was elected County
Clerk at the last regular election. He
made his brother Grover his Deputy.
Last winter it was rumored that he
was short in his accounts and he was
forced to resign. The County Commits
sioners then appointed Grover Hill
Clerk and Grover Hill made his broth
er George, Deputy and now they are
in trouble again.

order reduction of the advanced
rates only as the result of an in
vestigation after the advanced rates
have become effective, but the Com
mission, while it could make no order
prior to the actual advancement of
rates. has almost unlimited power
of investigation and it is understood
that if the tariffs filed with the Com
mission show general increases the
Commission, without waiting for the
filing of the formal complaints, will
institute an investigation on its own
motion for the purpose of determin
ing whether or not the advances are
justified. Such general information
would enable it to handle promptly
any complaint filed aaglnst advanced
rates.
The Commission is having a close
check kept of all advances in rates.

respondent of the New
York Sun

NEW YORK, Aug 2.-Richard ".
Oulahan, for many years the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
Sun, will have general charge of all
the literary work of the Republican
national committee. This appointment
was announced today by Frank H.
Hitchcock, the national chairman. Mr..
Oulahan arrived in New York late to-
night and will begin his duties tomor-
row. Under the arrangements made
for the consolidation of the press bu-
reaus of the national and the congress
sional committees the preparation and
distribution of all of the Republican
literary work will be directed by Mr..
OuIahan, who will be assisted by Fran
els Curtis of Springfield, Mass, whose
selection as editor was announced two
weeks ago.
The appointment of Mr.. Oulahan is
pleasing to Mr.. Hitchcock and Repre-
sentative Mckinley of Illinois, chair
man of the congressional committee.
Mr.. Oulahan is a native of the District
of Columbia. He was an intimate
friend of President Harrison and has
been close to all subsequent adminis-
trations. The confidence of Mr. Taft
throughout his official life was given
to Mr.. Oulahan, who also has held the
friendship of Mr.. Roosevelt ever since

secretary of the navy.

'The United States has had three
systems introduced in three new scout
cruisers so as to test the results. and
the Salem has had an easy victory
with the Curtis turbine.
1.-THE great objection heretofore raised
to the turbine for naval purposes lay
in the difficulty 1t gave for maneuvers.
1t has been asserted that the Dread
nought would require a separate set of
engines to reverse and back The Cur
tbs turbine seems far superior to other
turbines in this respect. The Salem
backed out from her dock with her
own engines and turned without having
to call tugs to her assistance.

utmost Importance and 1 believe that
the Curtis turbine should be generally
adopted, outside of the fact that 1t is

Women

TRENTON, N. J., August 2.-Under
the sheltering guidance of John A. Fer
guson, 4S years old, of 2119 South Rose
wood street, Philadelphia, who left a
wife and two daughters in that city to
answer a divine calP' of the Holy
Chester faith, four girls and two
young men, all of Philadelphia, have
left Trenton en- route to South Caro-
lima.
They are walking the distance, and
will stop along the way to scatter the
frenzied religion of the gift of
tongues in other cities and rural COM
munities.
Unless present plans prove to be only
air castles, these seven INSPIRED ones"
will finally reach California, whence
they will sail for China as mission
aries" All the way they will walk,
not as a matter of necessity but simply
to conform to a doctrinal principle of
this spellbinding belief.
In the party besides Ferguson are
Howard Truman, 20 years old; John
Bryson, jr., 10 years, of 1929 South
Twenty fourth street; Miss Lillian
Walker, IA years; Miss Bertha Walker,
"a years; Miss Margaret johnson, who
has Just turned 20, and Miss Leila
Smith, 21 years, of 1927 South Twenty
fourth street, all of Philadelphia.
For six weeks these followers of that
frantic faith have been holding daily
and nightly sessions in little mission
house they rented over a restaurant at
the corner of North Broad and Perry
streets, this city.
So turbulent have become their meet
ings at times that neighbors have
threatened to summon police. This
threat tanned them down a bit and they
shipped out of town.
