three hours. His appeal was more
of a dramatic nature than on any
sound business reasoning. With
tears streaming from his eyes he
pictured the temptations which are
now placed in the path of the Nevada
boy and girl, cited an instance of
where foreign born citizen had told
him (Curler), who was born and
raised in Nevada, that if he did not
like the law as at present
constituted, he could move to another
state, and then openly charged the
legislators that sack had been
opened and that in the event that
they defeated the present measure
the Indictment would stand against
every one who had voted against the
bill as having been reached by in
fiuence. At this juncture several
members were on the point of rising
in protest against this implied insult
when Curler realized his error and in
a way apologized for his remarks by
qualifying them with the remark
that even heaven could not move him
to change his vote on any question if
he was convinced he was in the right.
| This remark on the part of Curler
resulted in winning a number OF
votes against the measure which
| heretofore have been in doubt be-
cause the members feared the criti-
cism which may be heaped upon
them should they vote as their con-
science dictates.
Curler achieved considerable no.
! tirety in Reno few years ago while
on the bench when he made bet on
a horse race and was charged with
welching by DR.. Hennessy. A street
fight ensued and Curler was given
considerable publicity in the matter
He was followed eby Judge Seeds
formerly Of Colorado, who spoke fol-
about an hour along the lines fol
lowed by Curler. Seeds also cited his
experience in Colorado and main
tanned that the abolition of gamblins

CARSON, Feb. 18.-By a vote of
twenty-six to nineteen the opponents
Of the anti-gambling bill now before
the assembly won the first victory
this morning when the measure, just
reported from the committee on pub
lie morals, was made a special order
for next Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock and the further amendment
that the house go into committee of
the whole and invite the public to
discuss the measure at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Two reports came from the COM
mittee, oneA that it do pass and be-
come effective on January i, 1910,
the other that it do pass and become
effective January /. 1910, provided
that in the meantime a special state
election be called and the people of
the state be given an opportunity to
approve or disapprove the measure.
The first report was signed by Berry,
Todd and Ferguson The minority
report is signed by Blake and Mer-
ten.
Berry of Nye county and Lunsford
of Washoe, assisted by Allen of
Churchill led the battle for the
| friends of the bill, while Dodge of
Washoe handled the matter in favor
Fof the opponents of the measure.
Dodge easily outgeneral his oppon-
ents and in the very nature of his
motions and amendments placed
them on record without disclosing
the strength of his side. When the
question of adopting his motion and
| amendment was put by Speaker Gift
| fen a division was demanded by both
sides and count of the rising vote
brought out the figures as given
herewith. 1t was a test vote, adj
mitted both sides, and by it can safe
ly be determined the fate of the
measure when it comes up for final
action the coming week.
From all over Nevada friends and
opponents of the measure were here
today. Judge Seeds, formerly of Col
dorado, accompanied by Judge Curler
Sr.; Guy V. Shoup, attorney for tht
Southern Pacific company; Judge

Brown of Elko, and many others
equally prominent were here to fight
for the measure. Others prominent
as we'll in business life were in at
Neither side really knew it's strength
until the vote today. Those against
the measure last night claimed its
defeat by vote of twenty-five to
twenty-three, scant majority. On
the other hand the anti-gamblers
claimed victory by vote of thirty
five on their side. This element
seemed disappointed with the result
this morning. Some maintained that
1t was not vote of strength, but
that many of their friends voted with
the opposition that the charge that
undue advantage had been taken
could not be successfully made by
the losing side
But no matter what opinion may
be at this writing it looks as if the
anti-gambling bill in its present form
is defeated and that the prophesy
made by the Bonanza a few weeks
ago will be carried out: That the
bill will carry, but that the people of
Nevada will first be given an oppor-
tunity to vote it's approval at an cleo
/, ton to be held two years from now.
Many of those heretofore strongly
opposed to granting concessions now
admit that this is the only just
course remaining open.
There was lively parley on the
part of the anti-gamblers during the
afternoon session. They were moi
prepared to submit their case to the
assembly at this time, fearing that
between now and the time for voting
on the measure next week changes
il. sentiment created now would be
effected. Opponents of the measure
however, forced the issue to a vote
and by a two-thirds majority the
rules were suspended, the house re
solved itself into a committee of the
whole and Lem Allen was appointed
chairman with instructions to invite
the public to appear and discuss ths
merits of the proposed anti-gamblinf
measure. Judge Curler was first tt

COURT GIVES
TITLE ON RECEIPT
OF DECISION
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS THE
DISTRICT COURT WILL BE
NOTIFIED.
Especial to the Bonanza. }

GOLDFIELD, Feb. LIT has
been computed that about 600 acres
are included in the ruling on We'd
nesday of the secretary of the inter-
ior relating to the granting of a.
townsite for Goldfield.
This is exclusive of Columbia and
the Vera lode to the extreme east of
the town. The number of settlers or
"squatters" affected mounts up into
the hundreds.
AS soon as the usual red tape of
the government shall have been un-
wound, the federal authorities,
through the secretary of the interior,
will notify the district judge here of
his authority as trustee for the in
habitants, and will grant him author
ity to issue titles when sufficient
proof of occupancy shall have been
made. To those who secure their
title from one of the townsite COM
panies 1t is anticipated that small
fee will be charged for each lot, in
order to secure formal title from the
government through patent. How
long this will take remains a matter
OF conjecture, but in view of the i'm
portance of the case, a few weeks
should suffice, General Donovan be-
ing in position to push the matter
with all expediency.
OF course, the original townsite
company, although the decision of
the secretary of the interior is
against it, expects to still put up a
fight in order to delay the final set
tlement OF proposition that has
been agitating and worrying thou
sands of people in camp for two OF
three years. The townsite company
has hopes of yet proving that when
a mining company continues to do its
assessment work it has supreme title
as against even patent, or against
a townsite granted by the govern.
ment. However, in the opinion OF
many attorneys who have given the
matter much research. the forma
grant of patent for the settler.
practically ends the entire question
SO far as the title to surface rights /,
concerned.

BIG FIVE WILL MAKE STRONG
ENDEAVOR TO EVEN
THINGS UP.

A return game will be engaged in
between the Big Five and the Tono-
pah Basketball club teams this even
ing at the Nevada theater, and if you
failed to witness the first game you
will be given a chance tonight to
witness real fast contest, full of
spectacular playing and fast team
work. The boys are about evenly
matched, as the score of the last
game shows, "a to %, and the "go''
this evening should be close one.
The Big Five aggregation has had
several days in which to perfect their
team work and have taken advantage
of it. They did not like the idea of
being beaten by team which was
at least twenty pounds lighter to the
man, and promise this evening to
even things up.
The line up of the two teams will
b, as follows:
Big Five-Booth and Peterson,
forwards; Westall, center; Bailey
and Mcdowell, guards.

COPPER DISTRICT
PETE WYNEKEN SPENDS TWO
MONTHS IN THE NEW cop
PER DISTRICT.

Theodore Wyneken has returned
from a copper district seven miles
Forth of Thorne, where he has ac-
quired a number of claims which he
has been working with his partner,
W. A. Koyne.
THE district is practically a new
one," said Mr. Wyneken last even
ing, "and has only been opened up
a short time. On our property we
have number of lodges four or five
feet In width and several of these are
traceable on the surface for over
1900 feet. We have had several as
says made which brought returns
from $14 to 1920 ton. The largest
return was from piece of picked
rock, but the ledge at the present
will average over $50 to the ton. The
ore also carries values in gold.
Copper showings can be found in
that district covering zone over
eight miles in length and four miles
wide. Several prospectors have ar.
rived in there lately and have start.
ed work sinking on one of the lodges
They have also found good showings
When capital can be interested anG
the lodges opened up think it will
prove to be one of the biggest cop
per districts in the west.
II will return there in several day.
and join my partner who is working
one of the shafts during my alb
sence."

ALDRICH DETERMINED
TO CONTINUE BATTLE
viii Bring Great Influence to Bear Upon President
Taft That Now Is the Time to Pass the
Currency Reform Act.

Is Senator AIdrich prepared, as soon
as President Taft comes home from his
trip, TO take up the determined effort
to reorganize the entire legislative pro-
gram for the coming session of Con-
gress?
Is he going to bring his utmost influ-
ence to bear TO convince the President
that now or never is the time to pass
a currency reform bill. and that every
thing else must be sidetracked to make
way for this program?
There is a determined. persistent ru-
NOR that this is exactly what the Sena-
torial leader is determined upon. Exact
responsibility for the report is not to be
located; yet it is known members of
the Monetary Commission have strongly
Indicated belief that such a move is
impending. It is known further that
some other members Of Congress have
lately come to believe the legislative
powers are anxious 10 set aside the Taft
program of corporation regulation, and
press the effort to reform the money
system.
A simple and logical explanation Is
given for this desire on the part of the
currency reformers. They believe the
currency needs reform, and the regu-
lative statutes don't They want a cen
trail bank very much. and they don't
want any limitation Of stock issues, or
Government-made schedule Of railroad
rates, or increased powers for the con-
troll Of trusts. They look forward with
concern to the serious chancellor they
now concede il to be seriOus-that the
next House viii be Democratic, or at
least anti-Cann0n in complexion. So il
Is now or never"
In short, Senator Aldrich and his lieu
tenants are credited with having made
a careful study of the political outlook,
and with concluding that the epoch of
Cannon-Aldrich control Of Congress
will end with the present Congress.
They believe, il is declared, that they
can keep the Teins in their hands dur
ing the coming long session. They think
that If President Taft will join them,
they can force currency reform through
Congress at the long session; and they
further reported. that he join them in
the strongest possible effort TO accom-
plish this.
For President Taft to join such a
movement would not be nearly so diff
cult as appears at first glance. The
President would not have TO drop his
progressive program out OF his message
He would be expected to write all he
wanted to about It, TO urge II upon Con
gress in the most vigorous terms; &c
insist q s strenuOusly as he might choose
that these things were desirable, and
that he favored them. He could be just
as radical as he liked, or as the COun-
try might want him TO be. But along
with his radical program. ne would
be asked to include a demand for cur
rency reform, and his tnststence the
II ought to be taken Up.
Then, when all the various things in

The funeral services, which were con-
Quoted at St Paul Catholic Church
by the pastor. MIR. James :. Mackin,
took place this morning at O'Clock. Low
requiem mass was celebrated by Father
MaclIin, assisted by a number of priests
from Baltimore, Norfolk, Old Point and
Newport News. Previous to the serv-
ices at the church prayers were held at
the house at $50 O'Clock.
The honorary palIbearers were chosen
from the directors Of the Norfolk and

were Levy Woodbury.. Clarence +. Nor

this big program had been crystalIized
into bills and duly introduced, they
would be referred to appropriate COM
mittees. The things that might get in
the way of currency reform would go
to Unfriendly committees; they WOuldn :
get out The currency measure, being
in AldTiCh's committee in the Senate,
and the entirely sympathetic Vreeland
committee IL the House, would get re-
ported promptly 1t would suddenly
appear on the legislative horizon as the
only big thing in the Taft program
which had been lucky enough TO get
through committee; and, perforce, ne
House would have TO talk about it for
want OF anything else 20 talk about
program. The Aldrich currency meas
ure is pretty fully formulated in the
mind of Aldrich; in due time 1t will be
brought forth from the Aldrich COM
mlttee. and then. under the skillful
MANAGEMENT Of Aldrich. Il will be
manipulated 10 the front, while other
things are held back. II is as simple as
the procedure by which that sort of
tnlng has always been done by the
Ich-Cannon organizations when
there was no strenuous person hard 1y
to Interfere with the arrangements. Cor
tain II is that just such a procedl r.,
Is Just now being discussed as the prDb-
able legislative course the coming vim
ter.
The old managers in Senate and
House believe that their grip is vet
strong enough to force the measure
through. They bark back TO their sue
emergency currency measure. which no
body wanted, but everybody supported,
and are confident they can duplicate
that performance.
