Miners Will
DONATE funds
FOR CHARITY
FUNDS OF QUARTERLY DANCE
WILL GO TO THE AID OF
NEEDY.

At the regular weekly meeting
of the Miners union last night it
was decided that the proceeds of
the quarterly dance, that will be
held Wednesday, the 23rd, be do
mated to the aged mother and in
valid sister of Matt Devine, the
young miner who committed suicide
last week. Devine was the sole
support of his relatives and this
act of the miners is one of extreme
charity, 1t will appeal to every
resident in Tonopah and many who
never attend dances, will undoubt-
eddy avail themselves of the pleas
ure in purchasing a ticket, know
ing that the funds are going to aid
a worthy cause. The members of
the union are to be commended on
the stand taken, for, when it is
known that funds were to have
been used for the benefit of
the hospital, it can readily be seen
that philanthropy is one of the
teachings of the organization.

ASKS COURT
TO CONDEMN
COUNTY ROAD
.TONOPAH MINING COMPANY
BRINGS SUIT AGAINST
NYE COUNTY.

A suit was filed yesterday against
the county of Nye by the Tonopah
Mining company, asking that the
county road through the Red Plume
claim be condemned, as the COM
pany desires to use the surface, adj
joining the shaft, for dumping pur-
poses.
The complaint requests the court
to name five people, who are dis
interested in the action, who will
investigate the premises, and if they
decide in favor of the mining COM
pany, to name az suitable sum which
the plaintiff agrees to pay the coun-
ty. The property in dispute is a
portion of the Tonopah Mining
ground and is little travelled except
by residents in that district. The
complaint sets forth that other
roads could be utilized without
any Inconvenience. If the commits
sion appointed find in favor of the
county, it would result disastrous
ly to the company, as the eXtrac-
ton of ore would be retarded ow-
ing to the absence of dumping
ground.

WAS
0UT SOLICITING
A FEW VOTES
AND ENDED UP BY TALKING
PARTY ISSUES TO A TELE-
GRAPH POLE.

A man, telegraph pole and an
elegant souse, created considerable
amusement at an early hour Sun
day morning to a few of the select
who happened to be abroad at that
hour. The man is one of our most
prominent citizens and is think
ing of running for a state office
at the coming election. He had
been talking politics all night and
when the discussion broke up, he
was considerable the worse for
wear. However, he had secured
the promise of everybody in the
crowd to vote for him and felt
highly elated. When he started
home he met with little difficulty
on account of someone having
turned the streets around and plac-
ing three telegraph poles in places
where but one stood before. On
lacking around the first corner he
bumped squarely into one of the
COMPOUNDED poles. While trying to
recover his hat, he uttered profuse
apologies. Then assuming a digni-
fed position he commenced to in.
form the pole of his platform fol
the coming election and ended by
asking the inanimate object to vote
! for him. At this juncture kline
friends interviewed and the politi
clan was led home discussing al
the way, the virtues of his platform
which probably will include some
thing or other toward preventing
the placing of telegraph poles on |
public thoroughfarc.

TO STOP THE FIGHT.

Stirred to action by insistent protests
from all parts OF the state and country,
Governor Gillett, OF California, took
steps to prevent the championship fight
between James j. Jeffries and Jack
Johnson scheduled to be held in San
Francisco on July 4.
In letter to Attorney General u. 5.
Webb the governor yesterday expressed
his disapproval of prizefghting in un-
measured terms aud directed that the
aid Of the courts be invoked to prevent
the match. He concluded with posi-
tive order that, in case the plea for a
restraining order be not granted and
the fight be held, the attorney general
proceed to gather evidence and prose
cute the principals and those interested
in the fight for violation of the penal
code of the state.
Work on the arena, which has pro-
crossed rapidly since it was started
about two weeks ago, was ordered sus-
pended temporarily when the action Of
the governor became known, but the
promoters did not say whether they
would extend this order, pending a
court decision.

Johnson fight yesterday A. j. Ais

RACE ISSUE IN NEW YORK.

The determination OF Irene Wander
vail, negress and pupil in the East
Orange High school, n. V to attend the
dance OF the graduating class Of that
school in the fashionable Women s Club
rooms at Orange on June 81, has set the
social atmosphere Of the two Oranges
boiling, and complications of the most
perplexing order are in prospect.
As a member of the graduating class
Of the school the girl received two
tickets to the dance, which is one of
the features Of the ending Of the high
school curriculum. In addition her
sister, who may also be graduated, re-
ceiyed two tickets to be used in the event
that she passes the final examination.
Those two are the only negro girls in
class OF about 50 boys and girls, many
OF whom are scions Of some Of the most
exclusive families of the most promi
neut social set in the Oranges.
When the parents of these pupils
learned that the two negro girls intend
ed to take part in the dance the news
spread through society like an electric
flash.
Offers to relieve the surcharged at
mosphere by purchasing the four tickets
at any price were extended to the girls
and were Indignantly rejected. Fail
ing in this, some OF the white girls, UNI
able to contemplate with complacency
the social mingling of races on the
waxed floor OF the fashionable Women's
Club when the two girls should bring
their escorts to the dance, began to de-
cline the invitations.
How far this movement has extended
no one knows, but the parents of the
white girls are in despair Of success by
conciliatory measures, as James n.
Vandervall father of the two negro
girls, is a stanch supporter of the rights
OF his daughters to share all public
honors and privileges in common with
the white people.

Divers Searching Lake Como.

Como, Italy, June 16.-Diyers from
the royal marine diving co ps OF Genoa
are today searching the bed of Lake
Como near the spot where the body
Of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton was
drawn from the lake, in the hope Of
finding the body Of Porter Charlton,
husband Of the murdered woman.
There was a revival today OF the
rumOr that Charlton escaped across the
Swiss frontier in the garb OF a priest.
Two men called npon the police and
declared that they had encountered
Charlton, though at the time they did
not know Of the murder. They say
they saw the husband on Friday, few
hours before the trunk containg the
body Of Mrs. Charlton was pulled from
the lake.
The police bave received no vertical
ton of the report that Charlton was
seen in London.
After a careful investigation OF all
the known facts, the police this after
noon said they were convinced that
Mrs. Charlton was killed either on the
night Of June ) or June 6 and that her
body was not thrown into the lake UNI
til the night following her murder.
This would have given Charlton sniff
cient time to catch the steamer Verona,
which sailed from Genoa for New York
on limo ?

San Francisco, CAL, June 16.-Tex
Rickard and Jack Gleason will not take
the Jeffries-Johnson fight away from
Frisco without legal fight. Imme-
diateIy following the governors an
nounccment that he would stop the
fight, n mighty protest went up from
sporting men, hotel-keepers, cafe
owners and those who expected to reap
a golden harvest from the thousands Of
persons who would attend. Action be-
gan Immediately to crystalize and to-
day every effort is being made TO have
the governor rescind his order, or to
induce Attorney General Webb to re-
fuse to prevent the battle. Business
men are joining in the movement. Last

Palace Hotel 90 consider what action
was to be taken. The meeting was in
secret and the business men refused to
tell what they did.
Attorney General Webb today issued
the following statement:
The letter OF the governor is a
positive and peremptory command adj
dressed TO this Office to prevent the
Jeffries-JohnSon fight. This command
the governor has the right and power
to make, and it is the duty Of this Office
to comply with it. shall take such
action as the law warrants. 1t is the
right OF the governor TO command; 1t
is the duty OF this Office to obey. His
instructions will be followed to the letter.
The fact is that if this contest is one in
which the contestants enter the ring
with the ayowed intention OF knocking
each other out, to use the fighting term,
it is n prize fight and against the law.
If they do not contemplate knocking
each other out apprehend it is a fake
and ought to be stopped.
The work on the arena on which the
Jeffries-Johnson fight was to be held
aud which was being pushed with all
possible haste in order to complete it
before July was ordered stopped to-
day.
Attorney General Webb will take the
necessary legal steps to stop not only
the Jeffries-Johnson fight but also the
Langford- Kaufman mill, scheduled for
Saturday. He made this announce
ment in statement issued to the United
Press today.
Mayor Mccarthy, who is in Chicago,
says he is running San Francisco, and
that the fight will take place.
