SUSPICION
CAUSES ARREST OF MOODY IN
CONNECTION WITH ROBBERY
OF WOMAN IN AUTO

RENO. April 9.-F. \. Moody. a
man about town with no stated Occu-
patton. it is said, is locked up in the
City jail upon suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the recent hOid-up Of the
automobile party on the Virginia road
Other than this there are no late de,
velOpments announced by the authOri-
ties in connection with the case to
be made public.
Mrs. Alice Miller. the woman who
lost the large amount Of money and
diamonds. is cooperating with the pO-
lice in an effort to locate the three
men who robbed her. Some subse-
quent light has been thrown on this
affair, which may result in the final
capture of the guilty ones.
That the three men or some Of them
were at the same place at which the
automobile party was some couple Of
hours before the hOldup occurred,
there would appear to be little ques
ton.
The movements of the party during
that early evening were apparently
closely watched and known by the
men who awaited the coming of the
automobile toward the city on its re
turn home later tnat night

VAN DUZER
BOBS UP AGAIN AS A MINING
STOCK PEDDLER AND FOLKS
ASK ABOUT HIM

Some weeks ago The Appeal re
ceived a letter from a man in Chic
ago asking if eX-Congressman Van
Duzer is reliable man to buy min
| ing stock from.
The writer of the complaining let
ter stated that he had lost money
| buying mining stocks "guaranteed"
as all right by Van DuzerS circulars,
and he added that every once in a
while some stock manipulated by Van
Duzer mas merged" or "consolidat-
ed with some other stock combina
ton and that Chicago investors were
unable TO keep track of Van Duzer or
the changes his stocks undergo.
These Van Duzer circulars are GER
tainly a curiosity.
The offer made in the circular to
stock buyers is that twelve per cent
per annum is guaranteed and at the
end of three years the original in
restment is returned with a ten per
cent per annum bonus.
This is certainly an alluring pros
pect for investors. In one part of
the printed circular he calls attention
to the fact that mining has recently
received a black eye through the
Vaccinations Of rascals and takers
who have unfortunately swindled the
public and adds that those who have
hppn done n thnir
money by this class OF sharks can
turn for consolation to EX-Congress-
man Van DuZer's various stock
schemes and get. not only their mon
ey back. but twelve per cent per
annum and ten per cent bonus after
three years.
Van gravely informs the investor
Cif he catches him) that If he puts
up a hundred dollars now. he will at
the end Of three years get back the
sum of $l30. plus tn twelve per cent
or in other words, an investor has a
chance to get in on the ground floor

in values comes. If after three years
he gets dissatisfied, ali he has to do
is to make application to Van Off he
can locate him) and draw down the
sum of $4,000 This is certainly an
aluring picture and excellent sucker
bait.
In another portion of the printed
circular Van eravely informs ais
clients that the only mistake he made
was in not adopting this plan seven ,
years ago for had he done so. even
on the limited capital he had at his .
disposal. he would have made twenty
five million dollars in that seven !
wears.
He certainly could have done 50
if enough gudgeons had taken his
hook and the printing press on which
he printed his stock had not broken
down.
He further assures the reader that
no mining proposition in the United
States is as "secnre. clean. safe and
'"2ilimate as his.
A careful perusal of his circular re-
veals the fact that he don't appear
to be in the business for himself 50

EXPERT

The sudden raid on womens hos
lery inaugurated by the Republican
party in the Payne tariff bill has
| caused a tiutter Of excitement even
in Carson. which retains it eauani-
nifty as rule.
Yesterdays The Appeals special
tariff reporter went out to feel the
pulse of the ladies, so to speak, on
the tariff question.
To the first lady called on he said:
Madam, | desire to discuss the tar
itf and shall cOnfine myself entirely
to ladies hosiery. OF course you are
aware that there is an ad volorem
duty on stockings?"
Il don't thing that matter interests
me. sir. | never wear any ad valor-
EN- stockings. | wear nothing but
the best silk hosiery and want you
to understand sir, that my stockings
are not subject for press discussion.
if you dare to put my name in the
paper my husband will take the mat
ter up personally. l don't care a rap
for the tariff on stockings. | defy it
But Madam, pardon me. If the

It's none Of your business, sir, how
high my stockings come. | want you
to get out of here and mind your own

ance as you exhibit in coming here
and talking about such things as the
height of my stockings. The height
Of impudence would be a better sub
ject'
Seeing that it was useless to dis
cuss the question calmly the reporter
withdrew hastily and called on Mrs.
who took a different view
of the matter.
Il think that every woman should
sturdy tariff and political economy"
said the lady, but I cant see how a
tariff can effect the ladies of Carson
City. If the hosiery man ever AT
tempts to charge up tariff on my
stockings | will quit trading with
men of this city to boycott a dealer
VINO puts a tariff charge on the bill.
The first time | see such a thing on
my bill there will be music in the air

us l have heard before that there
was some kind of a tariff on ladies

Madam. you have the phlosOph-
ed the problem of freeing yourself
from the tariff worry. have learned
a lot from you. Good day
The next lady took a sinister view
of the matter.
IF that tariff bill passes raising the
price of stockings and ladies under
wear I shall never again holler for
the Republican ticket. 1t is an out
rage and a robbery. | hear that all
stockings will be advanced in price
from twenty-five to fifty per cent. II

BUILDING CUSTOM MILL

4 custom mill is being erected in

some OF the straight gold and silver

dividual mention is made in this ac
count.
The great value of the Miller-Ad
ans strike. apart from the fact tnat
il promises TO be one of Nevada s
greatest. is the fact that is attract
ing attention to the district and will
result in more prospecting and min
ing and undoubtedly of the sale OF
good properties to people who can
carry forward a development. impos-
sible TO present owners.
Rumor has il that Miller and Ad-
ans refused to consider a bona fdr
offer of $9O0.00O tor their property
and there are plenty Of good mining
men who will assert they were justi-
fed in the refusal. AS yet it is doubt
ful if the Quayleys would do other
wise than refuse an Oner of mil
lion with equal prompitude, and they
are not even shipping.
The district Is in good country
being in the BOdieAurOra mountain
range and mineral formations are
massive. There is every reason to
believe that it will e second to no
mining district in Nevada within a
year.

A GREAT INVENTION.

S"aod hath made man upright: but they have sought ont many inven- tions." said the wise Solomon. many centuries ago. Evidently the wise old King of Israel thought men ceased to be upright when they invented things. and the supposition would not be far ardent and zeaious prohibitionists up in Tennessee feel that way about the "odorless beer" the people there are quenchinE their thirst with. It Is said to have the taste and exhilarating effect of the real thing but leaves no trace on the breath; consequently the professional or official smelier has no means of telling whether c man has been drinking or not; that Is. he can't tell by trying to detect 1t by his sense of smell. We doubt if Sol- omon would look on the inventor of that booze as m upright man.
 This is doubtless a happy discovery for lovers of beer in dry regions. Some men can get 1t, regardless of statutory laws to sthe contrary. and there are those who can drink as long as they are able to hold It, and yet give no outward sign that they have been In- dulging. but the breath gives them away. And when you come to think of it, may not this discovery be 0 wei come one even in places where beer | can be bought without secreeyf Some good husbands like to indulge in a mug --or several muRs-46f cold beer. and don't want the fact known 10 the good wife at home. They may deny 1t as much as they please. but the woman who has any experience in such mat ters will detect the beer on his breath as soon as he enters the house. A man thus circumstanced will welcome drink that does not give itself and himself away. This odorless beer is but another instance of how a man can adopt invention to fit unfavorabls conditions.

further and sndeavor by consultation al enactment to so bind the hands of all future legislative bodies that they cannot even correct or modify the evils that have been done by recent legislation.
 This is not democracy. 1t 10 not ra. publicanism. 1t is not true American ism. It.is worse than autoeracy. for it Is an effort to induce the people ts vote away their own riGhts and to take from themselves their own lib- critics. Such an attempt has not be- fore been made in any state in recent years. and the attempt to make 1t a political issue is only done by the advocates of the measure because they believe that would insure success. IL Is time for good citizens of all politi- cal faiths and beliefs to join hands and work together for the preservation of human rights and human liberty.
 All good citizens should treat with the contempt and condemnation 1t de- serves this attempt to make our Con- stitution an instrument of police reg ulation. They should. by their infiu- ence and by the ballot. teach these in- novators that tho time has not ooms for good citizens to cross their hand and suffer themselves bound to the chariot of intolerance. tanaticism and selfish politics We have faith in the good sense. judgment and patriotism of the men of Alabama and do not be- lieve they have so lost their manhood and self-respect that they will follow unwise or interested leaders into per- petuating and fastening a great wrong on this State and people. |

 Headland. Ala, Sept. [, ls0s Editor Advertiser:
 The lid was prized of the campaign for the constitutional amendment here last night m a talk by Mir. N. Soliie. of Ozark, candidate for the Senate.
 Only a small number was present, owing to the inciemency of the wealth CT. but the crowd was about evenly divided on the question. and as Mir. Sollte's talk was on prohioitiD n straight. together with ridicuie and sarcasm for The Advertiser. Not much light was shed on the subject.
 During the course of his remarks Mir. Sollie made the astounding state ment that of the 4o.0e0,08o people of Great Britain. 5l per cent. were beg gars and paupers, and that this state of affairs was brought on by that country not having prohibition writ ten in its Constitution. Some of the other points made were equally as far fetched.
 It is the sentiment that this town is almost solid for prohibition. and there fore endorsed Mir. Sol,ie's remarks as to the evils of whiskey, but 1t Is also believed Headland will go against the amendment by a big majority; the pec- pie here seeming to see through th~ trap set to catch their votes In the future, and refusing to indorse an is- sue made for the purpose of riding otherwise unpopular nisn into otfir

KEEP POLITICS OUT.

It Is interesting. as well as signifi- cant. to note that the effort to make 2 political issue of the constitutional amendment is confined almost exclus- lively to those who favor that unwise measure. Knowing that the Demo- cratic Party is the dominant political organization in Alabama they are us- ing every means in their power, fair or unfair. to commit that party, as a party, in support of the amendment. It is encouraging. and also significant. are fighting it on broader and higher grounds than mere politics. That Is why we see strong. able and patriotic men of all former political beliefs uniting in the thoroughly commend able effort to prevent our State Consti- tuition being made an exponent of fla naticism and intolerance.
 Taking the word in it's broad and non partisan meaning, democracy is diametrically against such an inno- | vation. and this Is the kind of democ- racy which men of all political beliefs may support and advocate. Democ- racy in its broad sense means local self government and personal liberty of all citizens to enjoy that freedom of thought and action which have been held and enjoyed since the war of the Revolution made Americans freemen. There should not be any party lines or party affiliations when men are striving for a great principle of gov ernment. as those are doing who are opposing the amendment
 The advocates of constitutional pro- hibition are striving to destroy the basic principles of genuine democracy taking that word in its original broad meaning. Some of them are honestly mistaken. beyond doubt. They are un- aware of the dangerous innovation they are advocating. and need to have l lIltlT CNO6 lllOIOuSHlJ Op6ncu DGIOTt the time comes when they must settle this vital question at the polls They need to be enlightened by fair argu- ment. and by calm and truthful pre- sentation of the issues involved then we have faith to believe that theiI votes will be cast against any usurpa- ton of power.
 But while we give to many of the supporters of this measure full credit for sincerity and honesty of purpose we cannot say as much for some oth' CTS who are at work for the change Some at least. of it's supporters arr doing so for political and Interested reasons. and for nothing else.

The Mobile Delegation.

That Is a fully representative dele gation recommended by the commit tee and accepted by chairman, Colonel Russell. to go to Montgomery. Sep tember 15 to take part in the confer ence for promoting the campaign against the prohibition amendment to the Constitution. It is not only rep resentative but will command respect ing the delegates enjoy as individual citizens. The opposition Is pleased to characterize all who oppose the amendment as saloon men and the word used in the attempt to damn Senator Spragins-but no person will read the list of the delegates select ed for Mobile and say aught against ed therein. These are the men who give name and reputation to Mobile; these are the voice of the community. If such are not worthy of respect. our are the best we have.
 And what do they stand for? It
 They stand for the principle of free. representative government, against an attempt made to tie the hands of rep
 They stand as Thomas Jefferson did, for individualism against tyran- ny of law making power that has
 They stand for reproof of all who would spread war and jiscontent among the people; and who, under the guise of moral betterment. play upon the finer feelings of the people for their own political advancement.
