ANOTHER MALICIOUS CANARD
Is Published By Reno Journal
Against This Section.---Ne-
Sugar Cos Project Belied.

A long YELL but after all a mighty
weak yell, despite the great volume of
noise, directed by the Journal against
United States Senator George S. Nixon,
proves upon analyzation to be nothing
but simon pure lies. The following
paragraph comprises the untruths
voiced, and to say that the statements
contained therein will be repudiated
by every loyal Churchill county citizen
is putting the matter lightly. The lies
given voice in the paragraph quoted
will make votes for Mr.. Nixon beyond
doubt. But unfortunately, they will
in just the measure that the journal
is believed, which fortunately is small,
hurt the grand undertaking, which
rather than being in an incipient stage,
is already well under way; the big
buildings are largely completed; struc-
tural steel is on the ground and being
installed; In fact the Nevada Sugar
Company, in which Mr.. Nixon ID an IN.
vestor to the amount Of $4,000 il no
longer project 1t is absolutely as

OUTFIT TAKEN
FROM ICON" man

Less than six months in the lan'l
of the free and the home of the
| brave, Branislav Bartosars, alias Fritz
Henkelman, a Russian, is held at po-
| charge of theft, pending an investiga
ton of the circumstances attending
his having in his possession a coun-
terfeiting outfit.
Bartosars outfit consisted of SIM
pie little mold of plaster of paris, in
which he could produce counterfeit
quarters by means Of a cheap alloy
of lead
Su picion was first attracted to Bar
tosars when he lived at "a Kiefer
Rain, the South Main street mer-
chant and special police officer. Sew
eral days ago when his room was be-
ing arranged, the plaster of paris de-
vice was discovered. 1t was hidden
in his bedclothing. He was arrested
last night by Rain.
Bostosars admitted the mold was
his. according TO the police, and de-
clared he had it, not for the purpose
of counterfeiting, but for the, pur-
| pose of obtaining easy money by rep
resenting that he could counterfeit.
First winning the confidence of his
victims by displaying the 25 cent piece
mold, BartoSars then went further
declaring he possessed specially pre-
| pared paper upon which he could re-
produce lnQoHUIlely UlllS OIL NdTlOuS
| denominations.
He asked John Zanziskay, of 212
Main street for the largest bill he
! had. 1t happened to be $40. He
| would then proceed, he said, to make
three from one. Laying the bill care
fully between two sheets of white
paper, he rolled the three sheet af
| fair around a lead pencil. The edge
of the bill was visible between the
edges Of the paper.
This done, he sent Zanziskay out
| to a nearby store to buy salt and
sugar, indispensable to the success oi
| the stunt. On his return Bartosars
| brought out what appeared to be the
same lead pencil with it's $40 wrap
ping. 1t was a substitute without any
money concealed between the folds OF
| the paper.
I'm uspectin~ Zanziskay following
| Bartosars' instructions thrust the

water seasoned to taste with salt and

coming three, it had become none

BUCKINGHAM CTS FiEE
WATER FOR THE CITY
fContiued from Page ~

fContiued from Page ~
These negotiations were cont nued
from time to time and while it did
not appear until within few days
that an amicable solution was prob
able the best of feel ng was shown by
the representatives of the water COM
pany. The mayor wanted the entire
water appropriation for hydrants wip-
ed out. The company held that it's
charge for water to the cty was JUS
tifiable and could be sustained in the
courts. 1t was stated that the COM
pany had secured from gentleman
whom many deem the most eminent
judicial mind in the state an opinion
that 1T could collect from the city for
it's water charges If the case was con-
tested
The mayor ever and always proceed
ed with the one end in view that the
company was not 5ustif ed under the
terms of it's original charter in col
Letting money from the city for the
water it used so long as it could be
shown that any other privately owned
water monopoly furnished water to
any city at cheaper rate.
Finally the mayor late last evening
was informed by Vice President War
ner that the company would agree
the free water which the mayor con-
tended for. This means that when
the board of apportionment meets to
make the final appropriations there
will be no appropriation made for
water and that as result thereof
the taxpayers of the city, should the
contract last out its time. will be
saved at least 100000.
Within a few days the city attor-
ney and representatives of the water
company will meet and agree upon
the form in which the contract shah
be amended.

H. B. HARRIS TO
WITHDRAW FROM
THEATRE HERE.

Henry B. Harris. the theatrical mag
| nate who has been running Jackson 8
theatre upon a partnership has with
the estate Of the late Ira w. jack
son, sewers his connection with the
local playhouse with the New Year.
The announcement Of Mr.. Harris
withdrawal from the local theatrical
field came as a genuine surprise to
all those intimately assoc ated with
the management of the theatre. His
act on Is due to his inab lily to make
| satisfactory financial arrangements
with the Jackson estate for con-
| tinuance Of the partnership.
Mr.. Harris advent into the local
theatrical field was accompanied by
a.. the Inauguration of a new policy here,
the abandonment Of practically all Of
the cheaper attractions and the ex-
hibition Of only the high class. Metro
pol tan plays. Mr.. Harris is gratified
with the patronage bestowed upon the
I theatre under his regime and feels
that Bridgeport is entitled to be
ranked among the best show towns Of
its size. But he has 50 many and
such diverse business interests that he
felt that he could not afford, it was
said, to continue with his response
bilit es in the local field without bet
ter prospects Of returns.
The theatre is owned by the Barnum
estate, and leased to Edward C.
Snltn, VINO IN turn subject the play
house to Ira w. jackson. On the death
Of Jackson the theatre has been run
by partnership agreement between
the Jackson estate and Henry B. Har-
ris.
Charles J. Ducy of New London is
the administrator Of the Jackson es-
tate. 1t is known that the rent Of
the playhouse is considered extremely
h .gh, and while the exact nature of
the points in dispute was not divulg-
ed it is assumed that this was the
point upon which the two could not
agree.
The Withdrawal of Mr.. Harris from
the partnership will not affect the
book ings already announced, which
include Bernhardt Monday night, and
to follow. such offerings as John
Drew. Billie Burke. Robert billiard,
the Dollar Princess Edmund Breese,
and others of the same character. So
far as is known the same staff will
continue for the present at least n
charge of the playhouse, J. j. Ftz-
patrick as manager and G. Donald
Richardson as treasurer and press rep
resentative.

.HERRESHOFf MOTOR
COMPANY Is SUED
BY LOCAL FACTORY

Because Of their alleged failure to
carry out their part of contract
entered into to secure motor boat mo-
tors, the Herreshoff Motor Co., OF De-
troit has been named as defendant in
a suit for $4,000 brought by the
American & British Co., Of this city.
The suit was filed in the Superior
Court today.
The local company claims that they
on Oct. Is, 1908 entered into an agree
ment with the Detroit concern to sup
ply the latter with 1000 gasoline mo-
tors at 5000 each. subsequently the
agreement was modified to 271 motors
at the same price. The A.. & B. Co.
furnished $50 motors which were de-
livered and paid for. The other III
motors were completed, but were
withheld by the local company for
inspection by experts from the De-
troit factory. The Detroit concern
was motif ed July 10 of this year that
the motors were ready for shipment,
but have since refused to accept them.
The A. & B. Co. say that the motors
are Of no value to anyone except the
Detroit company as motors. To the
plaintiffs they are worth only about
81, 600 as scrap. E$t

READ MEMORIAL
|. GATEWAY is NOW
OPEN To PUBLIC

Opened at 2:30 yesterday. without
formal ceremony. the Read Memorial
Gateway. erected by David F. and
Charles B. Read. sons Of the late mer-
chant. David Mcnamara Read. a me-
mortal to their deceased father and
mo her. Is henceforth the only entrance
for vehicles. to the Mountain Grove
cemetery.
With the opening Of the Read Me-
mortal Gateway. the gate that has
fury Is to be closed hencefor h to all
but those on foot. The drives from
the new gateway have been placed in
model condition by the cemetery asso-
citation.
Frank J. Naramore. secretary of the
association. today discussed he inter-
esting history Of the gateway at the
| west end of the North avenue side Of
the cemetery. which Is henceforth ex-
clusively for pedestrians. A genera al
impression prevails hat this gateway
was erected as a memorial to Jenny
Lind. the famous Swedish singer. This
was not the case.
Jenny Lind was to have sung for a
Mountain Grove Cemetery Assoc alton
benefit. but owing to sudden illness
was unable to appear. and as a result
another no ed singer Of the time. Mrs.
Davis. appeared at a concert the pro-
ceeds of which were devoted to the
erection of the massive stone gate
way in 1879. Colloquia1ly the gateway
has often been referred to as he Jenny
Lind memorial. But Mr.. Naramore
pointed out that this is due to a mis-
apprehension.
The Read gateway has been describ-
ed in detail in the Farmer. 1t is an
imposing ornament to he beautifully
kept burying ground located at the
east end Of the North avenue side.
where Howard avenue and Dewey
street converge upon North avenue.

THOMAS GLAD
FIGHT IS won

"One Of my regrets when I left the
Common Council to assume my pres
ent office" said Town Clerk William
Thomas, this morning, was that l
could no longer assist in the fight
against the 20 year water contract [
am glad that the controversy Is con-
cluded. with the concession, gained
by Mayor Buckingham from the wa
ter company, that the city is entitled
to supply of water free of charge
Mayor Buckingham's victory brings
victory also to the hands Of all of
those who participated in the move
ment to break the contract. I must
say that / had begun to despair of
any result coming of our effort, and
believe that pretty nearly everybody
had come to look upon the contract
as fixture through 20 years. It's a
neat little present the mayor makes
to the city isn't it? S250.O00 during
the next 16 years upon the face Of
the returns and more in fact, be-
cause the hydrant expense would be
continually increasing"

DID YOU SAVE
YOUR FORTUNE
OF S. IN 1910
Peace and Prosperity in
Glorious Come ticut
Mean a Saving of S. a Year

Banners are flying and bands play
ing in Connecticut, this morning. The
report OF the Bank commissioners
shows that the people of the state
have emerged triumphant from their
fight with the wolf Of Hard Times
and High Prices. At least some of
them have. 1t was close fight. but
they did it. The savings of some 492,-
1877 depcsitors in savings banks have
increased during the excellent year
of our Lord, 1910, an average OF s.
per person. Each of this class of
savers now has in the average 1913,
instead of sos. safely slowed away
as a protection against financial dis
aster.
In these figures is overwhelming
proof that saving is becoming more
difficult, as it is scarcely likely that
in the average depositors have re-
quired 40 years to save 5000.
But saving is a matter in which
onlv a few are gifted, as a glance at
the following will prove:
492.773 depositors have S101,66S.709
2S,036 95.441,S9I
Thus 1910 depositors control m re
money I'm savings banks tnan 90 al
most half a million, to wit, $174,16O,-
600 as against s101,66s.O00. And
$4,000 depositors have almost as much
as half million have.
In truth the reports Of savings
bank commissioners lack somewhat OF
showing the real relationship between
population and savings
For instance the initial number
shows "depositors'' having less than
$1,000. The information would be
more valuable if the figures were
grouped to show those having less
than 500, and those having less than
5000. In these classes probably would
fall the great majority Of deposftors
and the figures would then indicate
; with more certainty how scanty. IN
MANY cases. is the hoard from which
must be met the cost of the unan-
ticipated sickness, and which must be
depended upon to carry the owner
through periods of psnic when work
, is scarce and expense keeps piling UP.
