JOLLY WIDOW
Makes A HIT
IN TONOPAH
PROVES TO BE ONE LONG
SCREAM AT THE BUTLER
LAST EVENING.

1t was something awful the way
the audience at the Butler theater
laughed last night at the initial pro.
duction of The Jolly Widow" II
was a constant scream, and the
players, who have acted in the piece
for probably hundred times, caught
the spirit from the audience and
could hardly refrain from laughing
themselves.
Jean Hathaway was the jolly
widow, and in role entirely oppo.
site from the mother-in-law stunt
she presented the usght before, she
portrayed the part to perfection. In
any character Jean is there with the
goods but as widow she has them
all beat. She even had a few of the
widows in the audience looking side.
ways. The play will be reproduced
this evening and on tomorrow night
the Allen Curtis Musical Coined,
company will present THE Merry
Grafters."

Brings SUIT TO
RECOVER $4,000
LOST GAMBLING
G. M. .WANDELL CLAIMS HE GAM
BLED AWAY FORTUNE
WHILE A MINOR.

A case of more than ordinary in
terest, especially to the sporting fra
ternity, was called for trial before
Judge Averill in the district court
yesterday morning, entitled Wandell
VS.. The Sixty-Six club of Rhyolite.
The events which led to the suit
occurred nearly three years ago when
the southern camp was booming and
Greenwater was the sensation of the
day. AS near as can be learned the
facts are about as follows.
c. M. Wandell, the plaintiff, was
interested with his uncle, Stilwell
Wandell and Arthur Kunzie in a
number of Greenwater properties
which We're sold for a goodly sum of
money, his share of the deal being in
the neighborhood of $4,000. After
receiving the money Wandell re-
turned to Bullfrog, where he had pre-
viously resided, and being of the
/ sporty sort started bucking the
ltiger with both hands After several
months of strenuous play the small
fortune received in the sale of the
-reenwater property dwindled to al
most nothing and then Taylor and
Remick, proprietors of the Sixty-Six
club, were informed that he was un-
der age and the money lost in their
establishment would have to be re-
turned. This was refused and suit
was brought. In appearance Wan
dell is nearly six feet tall, with
hronzed features and would be taken
for from rs to 80 years of age.
| Mcintosh and Cooke are prosecut-
ing the suit and Senator Clay Tall
man and Assistant District Attorney
Morris are looking after the interests
of the defendants. All yesterday aft
ernoon was spent in examining a few
talesmen and it will be several DAYS
before the case is finished and given
to the jury. Ten thousand dollars is
the amount sued for.

rer to the indictment, however was

Lincoln, Dec. 23.-Is the University
of Nebraskas Christmas gift to be a
membership in the Western Intercol-
legiate conference? Have the schools
of the so-called big Eight" tired Of
keeping an open door for the return
of their hayward ex-member, Michi-
gan, and are they ready to let Nebras-
ka take the place of the Wolverines,
as they once limited they were only
two years ago?
These questions became rife today
with the departure of Manager Earl
Eager for Chicago as representative
of the University of Nebraska at
meeting of all the Chicago conference
managers on Thursday. Besides Phil
Bartelem of the University of Mich
igan. Manager Eager will be the only
nonconference representative present
at the meeting.
Ostensibly he goes to arrange foot
ball dates with Minnesota and Mich
igan, but there are strong grounds for
believing that his mission is far more
important than the fixing Of gridiron
games.

was now exercising decisive in

Because of his resistance against

MAY DENY BANKERS REQUEST.
Corporation Tax May Be Tested After
Money Has Been Paid.

Money Has Been Paid.
Washington, Dec. est appears
likely that the request of the bankers
of Chicago to test the corporation tax
by injunction proceedings will not be
gratified.
1t is pointed out that, while the in
come tax law was tested by an injunc-
ton suit, Pollock, having obtained an
Injunction against himself forbidding
the payment of the tax, the supreme
court handed down a strong dissenting
opinion, written by Justice Harlan and
concurred in by four of the nine mem
bers of the court, severely criticizing
that method of testing the law.
Moreover, it is said that, while an
injunction could restrain an individual
from paying the tax, corporation hav-
ing real property could be held liable
for the tax, and that the government
would not be restrained from levying
on the property by an injunction grant
ed against it's officers.
It is expected, therefore, that the
corporation tax will be tested by suit
brought after the tax had been paid
under protest" to recover the amount
paid. For this reason it is expected
] that there will be a rush to pay the
| tax by those who desire to be recog
nized in suits intended to test its con
stitutionality.

New York, Dec 23.-Although Mrs.
Caroline B. Martin, mother of Ocey

two sisters for the murder of the East
Orange bath-tub victim, the New Jer-

possession OF Mrs. Martin and she is

Today her attorney, Colonel Robert

Some of the evidence which was
presented to the grand jury in sup
port of the charge that plot existed
against Mrs. Ocey Snead became
known today. An important point
was made in the presentation of docu-
mentary and other evidence to show
that letters written by Mrs. Snead to
her absent husband Fletcher Snead,
were unmailed and that his letters to
her were intercepted.
Meanwhile, it was alleged, the sick
