SANTA FE MOTOR CAR
ARRIVES ON SCHEDULE

The Santa Fe wind splitter" ar

yards here, 1t Is a very attractive
looking car, and it is said that it will
solve the question of passenger traf-
fic on the branch lines. 1t is proba-
BILE that the first trial will be made
ON the 81 Paso division. If it proves
a success, it is quite possible that
Las Vegas will get one of the cars
for regular service on the Hot Springs
branch.
Many of these gasoline cars are in
use on the eastern roads, but up to
the present time they have never been
put in successful operation on the
mountains, and 1t is question
whether they will prove successful as
hill climbers. Many people visited
the car during its short stay in the
city.

Washington, April 9.-Ethan Allen

this morning at IL o'clock. aged "A
years. He had been critically i'll for
several days.
Hitchcock contracted severe cold
in the west and hurried home to place
himself under the charge of special
lists. His condition became steadily
worse and in the last two days hope
was abandoned.
His passing marks the close of a
career whose preeminent feature was
the administration Of the interior de-
partment, that stirred the western
land problems as never before. Up
on appointment he was plunged into
a vortex Of complications growing out
OF the vast land frauds in the west.
He prosecuted cases against numer-
GUS men, among them Senator Mitch
ell Binger Herman, former Senator
Dietrich Of Nebraska and John A.
Benson of San Francisco.

witness in support of the petition. He
testified substantially that his patient
was suffering from an illness known
as 'katatonia" which involves state
| of apathy and indifference to current
levents of everyday life, lack of ini-
tiative in caring for his own physical
wants and susceptibility to consider
liable nervous excitement when
brought into contact with strangers
|or into other unaccustomed situa-

DR.. Hamilton testified that Mr. Nc
Cormick was unable to properly care
for himself without assistance. There
was no evidence showing tendency
towards acts of violence on his part.

disease, incompetent to care for him
self unassisted, and appointed Mrs.
Stanley Mccormick, Henry B. Faville
and Cyrus Bentley his guardians and
fixed their bonds each at $36,O00

Up old CARPET TACK

Chardon. Ohio, April s.--Elton Par
ker. years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. ]. Parker, has coughed up a car
pet tack that has lain imbedded near
his lung for three years. 1t is one
of the strangest medical cases on
record.
That the sharp tack in its down.
ward course had not torn the deli
cate lining, caused inflammation and
ended the boys life is source OF
wonderment. Although none the
worse for his experience, Elton says
he is glad the tack is out.
It was just. three years ago when
Elton sat on the floor playing. A
carpet had just been put down. He
spied a bright tack near him and
baby-like, 1t went to his mouth.

Fort de France, April 9.-Castro's

Washington, d. o., April 9.s- The
efforts Of the American government
Ito keep former President Castro out
of Venezuela and away from the near
by mainland and islands have every
indication of being successful.
Most OF the powers having posses:
sions in that district have Indicated
to the state department that Castro
is not wanted within their boundaries
and that they are willing to acquiesce
in the desire of the United States
that he be- far removed from the
scene of his former prestige.
Notwithstanding Castro's deposition
as president he has still a great
many warm adherents in Venezuela.
and it is realized here that his re-
turn might be made the occasion Of
a demonstration resulting in the re-
establishment of unsettled conditions.
This government feels that Castro
ought not be allowed to return to
Venezuela or be permitted to make
his headquarters at any of the sur
ports.

GREAT MANY DISAPPOINTED
AT LEAST FIFTY MEN AND Wo.
MEN AT RENO WAITING TO
GO THROUGH MILL.

Reno, New, April o. Consterna-
tion reigns supreme in the divorce
colony in this city. An opinion was
handed down yesterday by Justice
lOrr Of the Nevada judicial district,
$50 far reaching in it's effect that it
has created general opinion in this
city that the divorce mill will stop
grinding.
1t was held in the case of Milnar
against Milnar that an attempt to
perpetrate a fraud on the court was
committed by the plaintiff and de-
|fendant entering into collusion for the
purpose Of giving the court jurisdic-
|tion. The Milnars are residents Of
Los Angeles. Mrs. Milnar came here
IA few days before the trial Of the
case. Milnar followed her by only a
rev days, and remained but aone day
and while here was served with the
papers. It appearing at the trial of
the case that he came solely for that
purpose. The court held that such ac-
tion and collision removed the case
from its jurisdiction. and it was dis
missed.
In the case of Rowland against
HowIand it appeared that Mrs. How
land has been In Reno three months
before she started her case. Her hus-
band came here on business and was
surprised by the summons on him.
The plaintiff urged that she was
entitled to decree under the provis-
ion of the statute which says when
ever the defendant resides or may be
found in the state" This called for
an Interpretation by the court and
the court held that while it might be
that person could acquire resi-
dence in this state in one day, evi-
dence so strong as to overcome any
doubt must be presented in support
of that contention.
His conclusion is that this inter-
probation of the statute applies only
in the case of bona fide resident of
the state served in whatever jurisdic-
ton he may be found in this state.
This, lawyers say, would seem to
settle the Southern case, which is al
most identical. Judge Pike is one of
the justices who heard arguments in
that case only recently, and he has
reserved decision.
At the present time there are at
least fifty men and women in Reno
who have either applied or are pre-
pairing to apply for divorces here.
