 Washington, Dec 1S.-In a notable ,ddress delivered in the Senate today Mr. Rayner, Democrat, Maryland), supported his resolution. introduced a few days ago, authorizing the Presi- dent "to take all necessary steps for the capture of President Zelaya of Nicaragua, and his trial on the charge of murder. Under the spell Of the Maryland Senator's eloquence, the galleries filled rapidly and Senators listened intently as Rayner argued that 1t was both the duty and the right of this government to seize Zel- aya and try him.
 "A great crime has been commit ted" he said, against the rights of be allowed to slumber- The guilt does not rest on the people of Nicaragua and therefore to punish them would not subserve the purpose of my reso- lution- This resolution is directed against the dictator of Nicaragua, in divfdually,and I want it entirely sepa- rated from any proposed steps we may take in reference to our inter ference in Nicaragua"
 Rayner said that Cannon and Groce, the two Americans shot to death by Zelaya's order. fought with the revolutionists- They were simply. declared, and the Universal Law of civilized nations now forbids the kill ing or wounding of prisoners of war.
 At the time of the Hungarian re- spy an agent sent by the United States to Hungary. Webster, secre- tary of state, notified the Austrian Iuperial council that if the American agent was treated as a spy, that act would be a declaration of war.
 ssWhat I am concerned in," con- tfnued Rayner, 'is the speedy appre- hensfon and punishment of Zelaya- I have watched for years the revoiu- and am familiar with the career of a great many of the fmposters and usurpers and the grotesque and mot ley leaders that have sprung from their chaoic reigns. but Zelaya is probably the most despicable fighter that has ever risen in their midst
 Tn the school of corruption. dis honor, perfidity and crime, he stands without a peer and exhibits in one glow of associated harmony. the pic ture of every model and the perfec- ton of every master. have been Informed upon the most reliable au- thority that the details of his private fife are more narrowing than his public career. And now as the cul- imitation of the infamy of his ad- ministration, trampling upon every Obranch of humanity in violation of the universal law.in defiance of those precepts of international code that have been recognized ever since the night of barbarism receded before the rays of civilization. he has put to death two American citizens who fought in the army of the revolution lsts- This act is not only the act of d f7end. but was an insult to the hon. or of this republic and cannot remain unavenged-
 sTt is said that we ought to de- clare war against Nicaragua I think that is unnecessary, except insofar as this resolution may be construed into what is known in international law Rs a declaration of hostility sub modo some authorities speaking of it as limited or imperfect hostilfties.

To bring about a standardization of their gigantic business the Bridgeport Brass Go, sometime during January, will locate it's selling organization, now in New York city. in the hand some four story brick structure now near completion. in East Main street. near Crescent avenue In the future all the goods will be sold direct from the factory. Only a small office will be maintained in New York, in the present quarters of the sales depart ment Postal Telegraph building, Broadway and Murray street.
 This will not mean that large stan of clerks and office help will De brought to this city A stan as large as that maintained in New York will not be necessary, because all the correspon- dence between this city and New York will not be needed after the centrall- zation plan is carried out But it means that Bridgeport will become a more important center and that buy CTS from all over the world will come to Bridgeport to see the factory and teh goods instead of going to New York
 In years past many large concerns have thought 1t necessary to have Headquarters in New York when the factories are located in smaller cities and towns.
 But the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, Is of the opinion that this city is now big enough for any concern to hall from and in the future the selling will be done from here One of the officers of the company said this morning that it was not far from Bridgeport to New York and anyone going to New York from a distance would just as soon come to Bridgeport He added that the plan Is in pursuance with the policy of many large concerns which sell direct from the factory
 As the New York offices were large expense 1t is estimated that many thousands of dollars will be saved an nuaily. And then again there is an advantage in bringing the buyers to the place where the goods are made No stock has been carried at the New York ofice for some time past
 The four story brick building where the sales department Is to be quar- tered has approximately 16.000 square feet of floor space The lower floor will be given up to stores The build ing now occupied by the company as offices in Crescent avenue will be turn ed over to the heads of departments In the plant for office purposes.

Death OF Tom TAYLOR

Tom Taylor died at the county
hospital about 10 o'clock this forenoon,
of pneumonia. To many rf our citizens
the news of Toms death came as a
severe shock as it was not generally
known that he was sick. Several days
ago he came to Elko suffering with a
severe cold and failed to call physi-
clan. Two days ago he called in DIR.
West, but the disease had taken such a
hold that medical skill was of avail.
Tom Taylor was born in Illinois about
AZ years ago. He came with his father
to Elko county and settled in Pleasant
valley when but boy. Since then he
has lived in and around Elko. He was
widely known throughout the county
and had many friends who will be sad
dened; by the news of his death
He leaves three brothers, John.
George and Bert, residents, of this
county, and four sisters, Mrs. Thomas
Van Drielen of Fallon, Mr.. George
Grant of Reno, Mrs. William Biggs of
Lovelock and Mrs. J. Wiseman of Wells,
all of whom have been notified. Ar
engagements for the funeral will not be
made until they arrive.
Tom Taylor's account with the world
is closed. Let us hope that his charit-
able deeds and his kindness of heart
will more than offset the debit side of
his life's ledger.
