THE hook worm, according to
medical authorities. is a hair-like par
asite. to which is charged a form Of
anemia prevalent especially among the
poor people Of the South. It was not
until recent years hat members of
he medical profession recognized
that a parasite caused the malady.
In December. 1902, DR.. Chas. War
dell Stiles. then a Zoologist in the Blu
reau OF Animal Industry at Washing
on, who had beer studying intestinal
parasites, announced to the Pan
American Sanitary Congress his con
victiOn that the so-called laziness':
and "shiftlessness' widely observed ia
certain portions Of the South was q
specific disease attributed to the hook
worm. Many members of the CON
gress expressed surprise at the an
nouncement and up to the present the
disease has been a matter of much
discussion"

Aside from sowing crimson clover

New York, Oct. 2S.-A gift Of one
million dollars by JOIN d. Rockefel-
Ter to fight the "hook-worm disease
was announced at the office of the
Standard Oil Company late here to-
day.
A dozen we'll known educators and
scientists, selected in large part from
institutions Of learning of the South
where the parasite is prevalent were
called in conference with Mr.. Rookie
feller's representatives at h Stndard
Oil Company's offices at &c Broadway
last Tuesday, and at that meeting
Mr.. Rockefeller's desire to organize a
commission to carry on a campaign
against the malady was discussed. AS
a result of this discussion of the situa-
ton the "Rockcfeller Commission for
the Eradication of the Hook-Worm
disease was organized.
The members of his commission,
as selected by Mr.. Rockefeller are:

Rockefeller'S plans.
In calling these gentlemen together
for Tuesdays conference, Mr.. Rookie
Teller addressed to each a letter
pointing out his interest in relieving
The human suffering caused by the
'hook-Worm" and especially because.
he said. it had been his pleasure to
spend a portion of each year among
the warm-hearted people Of the South
and he welcomed the opportunity to
express appreciation Of their many
kindnesses and inequalities.
The members Of the commission,
in framing a reply to Mr.. RockefeI-
}er's offer Of $1,000, 600. declared that
the proposition met with their hearth
est appreciation.

Wilson Times.)
To the Editir: In your issue
of October 18th you say: The
editor OF the Times is earnestly
studying the tobacco question in order
to properly enlighten our farmers as
to the true situation of affairs, so that
what tobacco is planted and cultivated
next year ma bring a remunerat1ve
price"
You say further that recently We
have had interviews with representa-
tives of the American Tobacco Com
pany and requested Of them explicit
information as to the kind OF tobacco
required and the way to grow it.
You say that you are informed tha
the taste of the people is changing,
and that the action of foreign ma
tons has decreased the demand for
domestic tobacco. You publish eX-
tracts from consular reports, tending
to show that the demand for American
tobacco is decreasing and h a the
use Of tobacco raised in foreign coun-
tries is on the increase.
I take it that this information is
furnished you by the American To
bacco Company-in fact you say that
in your article. What reason has tn,
tobacco trust for giving out this sort
of information?
Whvdoes it want to scare the Deo-
pie with the foreigner? What is its
sinister motive, for it never makes
a statement to the public except as
a matter Of deceiving the public and
feathering us own nest.
If this information is true, if since
the American Tobacco Company has
taken charge Of the tobacco business,
it has SO managed the tobacco bust
ness that the demand for American
tobacco has decreased and is still
i u 50 nryHn ~ L = fnJN
this further blow at q great industry
in this country?
If the tastes Of our people IS chang
ing, who has done the work to change
the taste of the people?
Long before the American Tobacco
Company was organized, tobacco man
ufactured in America was sold in
every cline on the globe. Independent
enterprise had made q market for our
product all oVer the world.
If since independent tobacco manu-
facturers have been driven to the
wall, the demand for our tobacco has
decreased, VINO must we hold respon-
sible for this fact?
The one claim made by the tobacco
trust for its right to exist, has been
that it extended American trade and
secured the markets Of the world for
our product. It's friends and defend
ers AVE always said that it may be
true that the trust has done some
harm, but it has opened the markets
of the world to the product Of our
toll.
But since the trust itself sends out
the information that under it's con-
troll of the tobacco business that this
claim is not true; that instead OF eX-
tending our markets, the trust so con-
trolls the tobacco business that our
markets are being restricted for the
sale of III leaf tobacco and the trust
itself is further restricting it by using
more and more Of foreign grown to-
bacco instead Of using the native leaf,
what excuse does it offer for its eX-

The last prop has been knocked out

| ception will be held. During this
time refreshments will be served.
The return trip to Goldfield will
be taken at II o'clock at night.
The publicity committee decided
to issue a booklet on the mineral
resources of Nye county, and a copy
will be presented to each visiting
member of the congress. The book
will contain no advertising matter,
but simply statement of facts of
the various camps, as the truth is
good enough for Nye county. Man
haitian and Rhyolite have been asked
to contribute towards this cause and
it is presumed they will respond
with the necessary assistance.
The members of the publicity
committee who will have charge of
issuing the book are DR.. Elftman,
chairman. Mr.. Elftman is largely
interested in different sections of
the county and will contribute
largely to the contents; Branch H.
Smith, who has been instrumental
in securing the splendid mineral ex-
hibit from this county; w. w.
Charles, comptroller of the Tonopah
Mining company; W. j. Bell, of the
Desert Securities company, and H.
G. Jones, the local mining man.
1t was decided at the meeting to
have Branch H. Smith take charge
of the exhibit from this county. AS
Mr.. Smith has practically handled
every specimen in the assortment,
he is largely familiar with the work.
1t wilt be his duty to explain to the
visitors the different minerals and
other necessary data of the extrac-
ton of our mines.
The meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.

CASE AGAINST
CHARLES MILLER
IS DISMISSED
COURT QUASHES THIRD JNDICT-
MENT IN FUR STEALING
CASE

The case of the State of Nevada
versus Charles Miller was dismissed
yesterday in the district court on
motion of the district attorney.
Miller was indicted by the grand
jury and was charged with receiv-
ing furs stolen from one May Bow
man. At the time the Indictment
was returned, the grand jurors were
in possession of a confession by one
of the principals in the case, who
was granted immunity, and this
confession plainly showed that Mil
Ter had no knowledge, either of the
furs being stolen, or who received
them. When first arrested, Miller's
bond was fixed at $500, which was
furnished by several business men
of this town.
This is the third indictment to be
quashed in the fur stealing case.
and the trials of the remaining two
parties indicted were postponed for
thirty days.

EXPLAINS why
HE WAS ARRESTED
FOR PERJURY
DIR. GOBLIN OF ROUND NOUN
TAIN STAYS ACTION Is DUE
TO SPITE WORK

Carl Goblin, who was brought in
by Deputy Sheriff Cushing from
Round Mountain on a charge of per-
jury preferred by Judge Foley, left
by auto for his home yesterday after
having given bond in the sum OF
$500.
Before departing Mr.. Goblin was
seen by a representative of the Bo-
nanza and said:
It's simply another case of at
tempted deportation by the kan
CARGO court of Round Mountain,
and l intend to give them a run for
their money before the case is set
tied | discharged some men few
months ago because of drunkenness
and they have been trying to get
even by having me arrested |
think that | treat my employees with
as much, if not more consideration
than any operator in the state. |
do not care what my employees do
when off shift; they can get drunk
and spend their money as they see
fit, but when such men fail to re-
port for duty because of such prac-
ltices, for two and three days at a
time, and thus delay operations at
my property, / think then | have a
right to discharge them and secure
others. At any rate / am pursuing
this policy and intend to continue
to do so. 1 have spent in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 in developing
my property there and do not in
tend to have bunch of loafers die
tate whom I shall employ"
One of the discharged miners
claims he gave Mr.. Goblin $4,000
to send away for him and that Cob
lin failed to send it, but instead put
it in his pocket. Mr.. Goblin denied
that he had ever been given any
money to send away, meaning, of
course, the $4,000. However, it
was subsequently learned that other
employees had given him money with
which to buy money orders and it
was upon this point that he was
charged with perjury. DR.. Collins
property is located six miles from
Round Mountain and as he goes to
town every evening, the employees
often ask him to buy money orders
and transact such business for them.

HALL QUITS
The FAT JOB OF
BANK RECEIVER
HANDS IN RESIGNATION WHICH
Is ACCEPTED BY JUDGE
LANGAN

Carson City advices state that
George S. Hall, receiver of the Nye
and Ormsby County bank, present.
ed his final report to Judge Frank
P. Langan and formally resigned.
Speculation is rife as to who will
succeed him, but the supposition is
that J. w. Adams, former governor
of Nevada, will receive the appoint
ment at the hands of the district
court. Adams is well versed in
financial affairs and has fortune
of his own.
More than a month ago, as a re-
suit of criticism heaped upon Re-
ceiver Hall, he had a conference
with Frank Golden, president of the
defunct bank, as a result of which
Hall is reported to have agreed to
resign if given one month to pre-
pare a final report of his admins
tration. For months there had been
disputes between the receiver and
Mr.. Golden, the latter claiming that
Hall, for instance, had collected
only on exchanges and had politely
sidestepped the more difficult propo-
sition of collecting on other ac-
counts, and even failing to pay in
terest on loans advanced by Frisco
institutions.
1t is claimed that the institution
owes its depositors less than half a
million dollars, while the face value
of it's assets is upwards of mil
lion. Frank Golden has always de-
clared that every creditor would be
paid in full, and considerable inter-
est attaches to the problem of who
will succeed Hall, and the policy
that he will pursue.-Goldfield Trib-
.une.

DRUGGISTS MAKE
COMPLAINT ABOUT
Drug BUYING
ARE OF THE OPINION THAT NO
DISCRETION is BEING USED
BY COUNTY

Three local druggists appeared
before the board of county commits
sioners yesterday and complained
that the drug trade for the county
hospital was being given to a new
drug store in this city, the proprie-
tor of which they entertained very
bitter feelings against because he
had dared to reduce prices. The
gentlemen, one of whom had sup
piled the county for nearly two
years straight, were of the opinion
that the trade should be distributed
equally irrespective of prices, and
they asked that it be given to one
drug firm for a month, and on the
succeeding months to the other drug
stores.
This the commissioners consent
ed to do and the county clerk was
instructed to make the necessary or
ders for the change.

GOOD VALUES ARE
FOUND AT CACTUS

Returns from the recent strike
made in the Cactus Peak country
place the value of the ore at from
SIG to 1926 to the ton. R. w
Tucker of Goldfield leaves next Sun
day for a personal inspection of the
ground. upon which he and associ-
ates have an option. Mr.. Tucker
states that during the last few days
he has had no definite information
from Thompson, the owner of the
ground, but that work is in prog
ress along the vein. in which the ore
was encountered.
1t is Mr.. fuckers belief that there
will shortly be opened up in that
end of the country a very valuable
property. and he plans to do some
very extensive development there
in the near future.
