Observation of Reno DiUorcees

an OO3t tatsCf ANess0
There is considerable discussion in
the various papers of the State about
the number of women that are now in
Reno securing divorces and some OF the
papers seem to think that it is a slam on
the State for them to be there. How.
ever, the men who are writing those
articles have evidently not been in Reno
for q long time. and il they have. have
not used their powers of observation to
any advantage. The fact of the matter
is that the people Of the State should be
happy that their laws are such that
they IAN give pleasure to so many OF the
human race. When one stands around
and views the makeup. the get.up and
lineup Of the Reno Divorces. 1t should
be q source of pleasure to know thai
there is one State in the Union thai
works for the welfare of the male sex.

was again taken down with the same

now reported somewhat better.
A game of baseball Was played at the
grounds on Ruby Hill last Tuesday
afternoon between the Ruben Hill Clip
pers and the Dewdrop League. which
was q continuous round Of excitement
from start to finish.
The challenge sent by Captain Gar
roll Short Of the Ruben Hill Clippers to
Captain George Bailey of the Dewdrop
League was the first intimation the
people of this neighborhood had that
there were two league teams in the
town. The result of the game. how
ever, showed to the complete satisfac-
ton of the admiring people present that
the real National game was thoroughly
mastered by the victorious team.
Throughout it was an errorless game
on the part of Captain Shorts aggrega'
ton. The score was rolled higher and
higher until the end. when Captain
Bailey's dumbfounded players slowly
backed out of sight into the tall sage
brush.
When the Dewdrop League went te
the bat in the last half Of the ninth
inning most of the spectators retired
from the scene, believing to their own
satisfaction that Captain Short in the
pitchers box would certainly fan
two, and that in case of an Academia
hit Phil Martin. the left fielder, would
certainly be on the spot to take it in.
At the end Of the contest the scor'
stood as follows: Ruben Hill Clippers

COOPERATION BETWEEN RAILROADS
and WATERWAYS SEEMS NECESSARY
Problem in Report Submitted to the President and
Points Out Limitations and Possibilities

other hand, has been losing steadily.
The New York canals and the Missis-
sippi river system illustrates this. Up
to 1855 the traffic on the New York
canals was more than twice that of
the railroads crossing New York
state. 1t is now less than per cent
of that total. The situation on the Mis-
sissippi river is illustrated in the traf-
fic history of st. Louis. River ship
ments there in 1890 were over 100000
tons; in 1906, $4,000. Rail shipments,
on the other hand, increased from g.
OO0, 900 tons in 1890 to 17,000,000 tons
in 1905.
"The coal traffic down stream from
the vicinity of Pittsburg, over Sc per
cent of the entire vessel traffic On
the Mississippi system, is the one
striking exception to the general de-
cline ON that system. Its success Is
due to the great deposits Of coal prac-
tically on the banks, and correspond
ing demand for it along the river. But
even this traffic is practically confined
to the banks of the rivers, and goes
neither inland nor along the gulf
coast for an considerable distance.
"The situation Of water transporta-
tion in the Mississippi valley is sig
nificant and serious. 1t shows best
both the limitations and the possibili-
ties involved in the present waterway
problem. There Is no lack of freight
in that valley, and there has been at
times extreme traffic congestion
there, and yet the river is getting
only an insignificant and decreasing
share of that traffic. 1t is true that
physical conditions, such as extreme
changes in water level and enormous
deposits of sediments, affect transpor-
tation seriously. But probably more
serious is the competition of the par
allel railroads. The situation there
justifies the general conclusion Of the
report that rail competition is one OF
the most important factors in water
traffic"

TheOry-One Witness Missing.
A NNAPOLIS. Md. july 10

A NNAPOLIS, Md, July 19.-
The opening session here to-
day of the court of inquiry
conducting second investigation
into the death of Lieut.. Jas. Nut
tie Sutton of the United States
marine corps, was replete with
dramatic situations.
Lieut.. Robert E. Adams, Sutton's
former classmate at the academy and
one of the principal actors in the
midnight fight which cost young Sut-
ton his life nearly two years ago, told
graphic story. With nervous de-
meanor and yet almost defiant under
the cross-examination of Henry A.
Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sutton, moth
er of Lieutenant Sutton, Adams sat
facing Sutton's mother and sister
during his examination.
At one point Lieutenant Adams and
an orderly enacted the struggle with
Sutton. The witness coat was re-
moved and they both lay prone upon
the floor. The witness was still un-
der cross-examinAtion when the in
Quiry adjourned until tomorrow. Mr..
Davis succeeded in bringing out a
number Of discrepancies in Adams
testimony when the board of inquiry
found Sutton had committed suicide.
Adams testified regarding a ride to
the marine camp in an automobile
with Sutton and two other officers of
marines, Lieutenants Utley and Os-
terman, an alteration between SUIT
ton and the witness and a deferred
encounter when the senior officer in
terfered; later meeting of the wit
ness and Sutton near the barracks
and the fight between the two men,
with Sutton armed with a revolver in
either hand and firing five shots, the
last of which he directed at his own
head, while lying on the grass.
Adams said he had risen from the
PROSTATE Sutton, whom he believed to
be exhausted. and saw Sutton raise
his right hand and fire q bullet into
| his own hand. Just previously an Of
fcer had cried that Lieut.. Edward p.
Rocker had been shot, the witness
said.
After the session Mr.. Davis said
that It was not his intention to fasten
the responsibility of Sutton's death on
anyone, but every effort would be
made to discredit and refute the sui
eide theory,
Rocker is an important witness
who has not yet been located. His
mother accepted service of sub
poenae for him in Washington, it is
said. but his location is not known. He
left the service soon after the Sutton
tragedy.
The Billings gazette., 1909-07-20

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Co-opera-
tion between railways and wa
terways seems absolutely neces-
sary to insure a reasonable and eff
cient use of the inland water courses
of this country.
This conclusion is reached in the
report of Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, in Part II
of his discussion of the subject of
Transportation by Water" which his
bureau has been investigating for
many months. The second part of
the report was transmitted to Presi-
dent Taft today. 1t deals with traf-
fic by water, and portions of it are
particularly suggestive and signifi'
cant.
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Smith that "it is public evil that
the entire transportation system pi
the United States should be, as now,
at odds with itself through destruc-
tive competition, while the transpor-
tation needs of the public suffer-"
Traffic in ITSELF" the report con-
tinues, "is a necessity for the proper
development of a waterway. State
and federal work must be supple
mented by private initiative, especial
ly in terminals and equipment, and
private initiative will come In only
when there is reasonable chance oi
enough traffic to make it profitable
One of the great questions, therefore
in the question of how to secure fol
the inland rivers and canals rea-
sonable share of the country's traf-
fic,"
In the body of the report, Com
missioner Smith points out the pre-
dominance of bulk traffic by water
and the reasons therefor. Then he
outlines the practical results to be
obtained from a thorough system oi
waterways. The entire transportation
system of the country is divided intc
three classes:
~ Rail.
(2) Deep water, that is, coastwise
and Great Lakes.
(3) Rivers and canals.
An enormous increase has beer
shown in the rail traffic. There also
has been an increase in the coas
wise traffic On the other hand, the
river and canal traffic shows mark
ed decrease. Discussing this situa
