AERONAUTS WANT ALL
OPERATORS LICENSED
Believe Enactment of Law Will
Prevent Many Disastrous
Accidents

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Actuated by
the. death of Charles oliver Jones at
Waterville. Me-, on Wednesday by fall
ing from his airship. the boomerang
leading aeronauts gathered at Fort
Myer TO witness the aeroplane tests
are seriously discussing the advisa-
bllfty or the enactment OF a law winch
would tend to prevent accidents of this
character 1t is proposed to make it
Illegal for any one not holding ali aero
nauts license from a recognized aero
club to make an ascension.
Aero clubs have been formed in pear
ly 20 cities and nearly all balloon
ascensions by recognized aeronauts are
made under the auspices of the Aero
club of America In order to uphold
the dignity of aeronautics as a science
rect lines it is proposed that these clubs
be given power to ISSUE licenses to
aeronauts.
There have been numerous accidents
IN connection with aerial navigation.
notably the collapse of a large dirfgibi~
eral persons were injured. These acci-
dents, 1t is asserted, have been due TO
the inexperience of the aeronatits
Charles oliver Jones has long been
known as daring balloonist, and al
though he was a member of the Aero
club of America he had never been
granted a pilots license by that or
ganization. 1t is the contention of
those most interested in aerial nayfga-
tion that these accidents have done
much toward thwarting the progress of
the science.
Jones made his. headquarters in
Haninondsport, the home of the Aerial
experimental association. There is a
movement on foot to raise a fund for
his widow and family.

SCHEME PLANNED TO
STEAL TAHOE WATERS
Capitalists Rumored to Want

Cities
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

RENO, New. Sept. 5.-That one of the
most gigantic water steals ever at
tempted is now being planned by a
number Of California capitalists is the
Information given out today by Henry
Thurtell. member of the Nevada rail-
road commission and former state en-
glneer. The plan is being pursued un-
Ger the advice Of Attorney James A
Waymire OF San Francisco and purposes

Tahoe. tunnel them trough the Sierra
Nevada mountains 10 the American
river where four large power plants
VIII be erected and power furnished for
several large California cities about San
Francisco hay. Waymire has advised
that the water can be legally appro-
priated. and claims in a pamphlet he
has mad printed that he has $500, ,000, 600
back OF the enterprise. The stealing of
this water means the ruination of Reno,
Verdi and all towns along the Truckee
river, also the Carson and Truckee
meadows, which depend upon the
Truckee for their water supply as the
plan would tap the Truckee river just
out of its outlet at Lake Tahoe. Nevada
engineers ridicule the gigantic scheme,
but enough possibility exists to make
the plan look bad for this section of
the country. and considerable anxiety is
felt here over the outcome Of the deal.

PITTSBURG BANKS
CLOSE THEIR DOORS
Were of Small Importance and
Failure Caused No Ex-
citement
Deposits of the Institutions Ag-
gregate Six Hundred Thou
sand Dollars

PITTsBURG. Sept. 5.-Two small
institutions. the Cosmopolitan national
bank and Mount Washington savings
and trust company, We're closed today
by orders from the federal and state
banking authorities.
The Cosmopolitan national bank, al
though established about seven years,
never evoked much confidence among
businessmen, and the trust company
was small concern located in a work
ingmen's suburb.
No excitement was created by the
failures.
The order closing the Cosmopolitan
bank was brought forth by the refusal,
it is said, Of Bank Examiner John B.
Cunningham TO approve some of the
paper and other securities of the bank
for loans, aggregating, it is said, over
$LO0O.O00. The officials of the bank
deny that worthless or insufficient Sc
curities have been accepted for loans.
They say all the paper and other col
lateral held by the Cosmopolitan is
collectible and the bank solvent. Fur
ther than TO say that the bank is in
solvent neither Examiner Cunningha
nor Judge Oldham of the legal depart
mcnt would commit himself.
According to the banks last state
ment Its liabilities We're Sl,26l, ,63O.9o.
The banks officials seemed to be in
dignant that the government should
close the institution. The cashier de-
clared that the available cash on hand
was nearly so per cent of the total de-
posits. Included in the deposits are
federal and" state deposits of $10o,0
each secured by bond
Robert Lyons. who is the receiver
for the Allegheny national bank, which
recently failed here, was appointed re-
cciver of the Cosmopolitan.
The vice president of the Mount
Washington savings and trust company
is also a director of the national bank
The capital stock of the trust company
is $125.000, its deposits $4,000, loans
and discounts S141.O00 and assets said
TO aggregate 100000 State Bank Ex-
aminer James NJ Cover said the trust
company was closed because of appar-
ent irregularities.
Cashier Richardson, in a telephone
conversation with one OF the depositors,
said he knew Of no reason why the
bank should be closed, as the institu-
fion had from 20 to As per cent reserve
on hand.
The report of the condition of the
hank made at the close of business

RAWHIDE is UNDAUNTED
Relief Committee Declares No
Further Aid Is Needed

Notwithstanding the great loss by
fire and the large number of destitute
persons, the people of Rawhides are
stoically undergoing all sorts of pri-
vation: Their attention is directed to
the rebuilding of the city, and private
needs count for little while there is re-
construction work ahead

Mayor Taylor last night shows the un-
daunted spirit of the Rawhide people:

FIRE OUT:

Relief Trains Rush Supplies to

Quickens Camp
Total Loss by Blaze Which
Swept Town Not Expected
to Exceed $500, 900

RAWHIDE, New, Sept. 5.-Like a
phenfx, Rawilide is rising from her
ashes and new life is stirring between
the hills surrounding this mining camp.
Workmen are busy clearing away the
debris of yesterdays destructive fire to
make room for the new structures, the
material for which is already on the
way.
Reno's gelief train arrived last night
at, 9:25 o'clock, and a5 ore hauling
teams of the Western ore company
transported the much needed provis-
ions here.
The Tonopah- Goldfeld special relief
train arrived at Nina at o'clock this
morning. and the IL automobiles, which
Immediately started across the desert
and are now unloading food, bedding,
etc, in Johnson's dance hall in Stin-
geree gulch, where a line of hungry
men are patiently waiting their turn
to be served by the relief committee.
Perfect order prevails and every one
is helping the situation all possible.
From ell over the state supplies are
being sent to the stricken town by
railroad. automobiles and wagons, so
that there is very little chance of a
famine.
Despite night and day work of tele-
graph operators and electricians, good
eonnections~with Rawhide has been but
fitful. Very little intelligence has been
sent out today owing to this unsatis-
factory condition. There was not a
fatality nor serious injury, except that
of Frank Conahay, the Western Union
operator. well known in Colorado as
being the first man that sent news of
the Cripple Creek fire to the outside
world in 1896. Conahay is badly
burned and will be SCARED, but will
recover.
Fire Chief Finn was badly shaken up
by being blown 20 or 80 feet by con-
cussions of dynamite.
Last night great vigilance was re-
quired to keep the flames from break
ing out anew. Fitful flashes lit up
the surrounding hills, but fortunately
there was little left for the fire to feed
upon.
Thousands of people are attempting
to reach Rawhide and are stalled on
the desert and at the various juno
tion points, and unless they go we'll
previsioned will suffer actual physical
want.
The losses will not be as heavy as
was at first expected, and it is believed
that the total will not be over $3.50,
or s400, 600.
There was very little insurance car
ried, it is said, because of the lack of
adequate water supply and high insur-
ance rates.

NATURAL TEETH
Artificial Teeth That Don't Look and
Act Natural Are n Failure
Unc0rpOrafed)

We study the question OF naturalness
in all it's phases when restoring teeth
by our ALvEOLAR METHOD (teeth
without plates) and as a result our
work is hard to distinguish from ma
lures. 1t is natural in looks, color,
shape. size and setting.
The average dentist buys artificial
teeth by the card, like pins or buttons,
and then comes as close to matching US
as these artificial teeth will allow.
and that isn't very close in most cases.
You can distinguish the unnatural
teeth every time, can't you?
The teeth we use are made to our
order. Each one is a tooth and must
match those left in the patients mouth
EXACTLY, not alone in color, but in
shape. size and position in the mouth
AS a consequence of all this care our
patients are able to artfculate as well
as masticate with clean-cut distinct
ness. We are specialists in dental
to that term who is not an expert-one
who has mastered his chosen profess
sion.

LYNCH AND RANKIN
WANT BAIL REDUCED
Judge Sturtevant Refuses APP
pIication of Attorney in Bond
EmbezzIement Case
Court Holds conpany's Loss Is
Not Only Test in Fix
ing Security

An endeavor was made. yesterday
by John ]. Lynch and c. M. Rankin.
indicted the previous day on a
charge of embezzlement arising from
the sale of Ocean Shore bonds. to
obtain a reduction of their bail from
$4,000 to $4,000 cash in each case.
The application was made by Attor-
ney t. C. West to Presiding Judge
Sturtevant. who, however. denied it,
stating that in his opinion the
amount fixed by him when the in
dictments were returned was very
low.
West argued that as the value of
the bonds alleged to have been en-
bezzled by Lynch and Rankin was
only 21,600, and that as the Ocean
Shore railway received from Lynch
$4,000 at the time the bonds were
hypothecated, the company's loss at
the most was but s11, 800, which was
more than the amount of the bail.
THAT is not the only test in fixing
ball. Judge Sturtevant replied.
THE court must also take into con-
sideration that a crime has been COM
mitted.''
Assistant District Attorney O'Gara
argued briefly against any reduction.
In denying the application Judge
Sturtevant said that before naming
the sum of $4,000 he had thought
about the justice of the matter, and
in his judgment the amount fixed was
not by any means excessive.
Lynch and Rankin were removed tc
county Jail No. yesterday morning
from the city prison. Lynch has beer
in custody since his arrest at Reno
several weeks ago. He proved ar
-affable prisoner and was easily suited
Rankin resented his treatment at the
city prison and made a request that he
be allowed to spend the night in the
prison office. He was Informed that al
prisoners were treated equally. Both
men made every effort to secure bal
last night.
