The News Produces the Proof

~ ROOF, positive and damning, of the enormous steal of borax
soda salt and nitro lands in Nevada and California, that Senator
Z Nixon of Nevada is trying to pull through for the Borax and
Salt Trusts by his senate bill No. 1921, as outlined some days ago.
may be found upon the county record books in the courthouse at Gold
field, the county seat of Esmeralda county Nevada. This proof is
outlined in a news story in this issue of The News, which should be
carefully read and digested.
The News, some days ago, called the proposition an attempted
steal of 100000 of the public resources. That the books of Esmer.
aida county alone show where SIS, 100000 worth of saline lands are in
danger by the Nixon bill, is ample proof of the conservativeness OF
the figures compiled by The News. The blanket deed for IL 900 acres
of saline lands is a preliminary step to a freezeo of the small stock
holders of the Borax Trust. The locations of these thousands of acres
by dummies, range riders, etc, in the employee of the borax trust, as
previously outlined by The News, was the first step looking to the
steal Senator Nixons bill was the next step in the attempted steal
til a peculiar proposition, one that would bring laughter were it
not for its gravity, that one English company may deed to another
1900 acres of lands in Esmeralda county, Nevada, that neither COM
pany has ever seen or set foot upon, and it is sad commentary upon
American legislation that such a deed can be passed, transferring
$4,000 acres of valuable lands that the selling company has never
owned. Should John Jones deed to Bill Smith an acre of land he does
not own, and receive payment therefore, under the laws of the country
he has committed a criminal ofense. Here, however, Pacific Boras
and the Redwoods Chemical company Qimitedl, deed to the Borax
Consolidated Qimited) $1,000 acres of land, worth more than $15O
900, and rest serene in the belief that the trust S messenger boy in the
United States senate, George Borax Nixon, will get a law passed
legaizing the felony.
The borax trust is not trying to acquire these lands for the pur-
pose of developing them The borax industry, the salt and soda in.
dustry, and the ntre industry have practically always been in the
hands of the English trust. Time was when individuals started to
manufacture salt, borax, soda and nnre here in the west. and the price
of these commodities began to 20 down. Ten years ago a dollar bought
twice as much of any of the chemicals named as it does now Borax
Smith, by the aid of the Rockefeller money, secured control of tbe
western production, then amalgamated with the London company, and

Security for Public Funds

HRANKP T. MANNIX, county treasurer of Nye county wears the
smile that won't come off, and there is a reason.
Mr.. Mannix is treasurer of Nye county. He was appointed
to I'LL out an unexpred term. Immediately when he entered office, he
made the banks where he deposited public money, give a bond for its
safe keeping. Personal bonds would not do; it had to be reputable
surety companies. This precaution was we'll taken, for last month,
the First National Bank of Rhyolite, in which the treasurer had about
Sz2ooo deposited, was closed by the national bank examiner. In other
Eases Oh TINS kdnd-ln Esmeralda, Nye and other counties-tne coun-
n $50 LOST lner FUNDS; but not so in this case, for the two surety COM
pames nave already settled the loss, each having sent to the county
he inot thr s1 a few weeks of the collapse, checks for $1O9S366,
oens .e Wl amount, and Treasurer Mannix is naturally happy and
of Nye county. 0aioh rom III '"NN
ms incident teaches two lessons: First. that the public funds
ams. ave nofe than the ordinary guarantee of a bank; they must be
o'ureu aho second, that this security must be that of q reonlar bond
ns company rather than of individuals. Had there baan individual
% ecu i III us instance, it would probably have been wears before
,he oohosmen made good, and then the loss would have fallen natural
=, Tie heaviest taxpayers, who as a rule are the bondsmen in
caes DWt Dy lnsurlng in a regular surety company the loss is
pald without suit, and it does not fall upon anv citizen or
Va NY oi 'he county, and there are no sore spots left.
a.. we nave never favored the prevailing system of depositing coun-
~ iau r., a treasurer is elected, he rushes to the banks for his
pusnnesS reasons; they want the friendship of the county treasurer
anu they want most of all, the county funds. Too infreauently the
easurer Is careless of the standing of the bank-what he wants is
nusmen ana when the bank holding his funds fails the bond fails
a e anu mere is no recourse. Either the bank should give the bond
. security company or the county should take out a bond for its
eaSurer and the treasurer should not have to pay the fee, either.

Still Awaiting an Answer

~ HE RENO JOURNAL, supplimentng the efforts of The News in
exposing Senator Nixon saline land grab bill, says:
1T is now over week since the Goldfeld News turned the
bright light of publicity in that dark corner in the senate chamber at
Washington where skuk the Aldrich crowd, the lobbyists for the
bloated corporations of New England, for the Rockefeller interests,
the railroad interests and all the other interests that live and fatten by
stealthiy inserting into the law of the land some enactment designed
to convey part of the public domain to private individuals.
when that light was turned on, it disclosed to the people of
Nevada one George S. Nixon, by grace of money, senator from this
state, engaged in the business of fathering and putting through the
legislative mill an act suspicious on its very face.
The publication of the facts caused a sensation throughout the
state, and up to date had provoked no reply from the Republican
organs OF Senator Nixon. The Goldfeld Tribune has made a lame
apology that the bill was sanctioned by Secretary Balinger, which in
itself is a further proof of it's trust origin.
The journal has been waiting to hear some pretense OF an an
swer to the charges. 1t is still waiting. If no answer is made the po-
pie will, at election time, ask the reason why"

cense be granted. The local board
will allow Wertheim to continue
temporarily under a permit.
Two complaints about Wertheim' s
place having been sent to Mayor Boil
schweiler he made an inspection yes
terday afternoon. He found it clean
and sanitary. He found conditions
generally good. A seven foot board
fence was between the slaughter
house and the neighboring house.
There was no refuse or smell about
the place and the mayor found mat
ters perfectly satisfactory Mr..
Wertheim did not know that an in
spection was to be made and was
taken by surprise. The executive
believes the complaints are founded
on personal differences.
Deputy Inspector Kerr reported
that several street sewer basins are
source of nuisance through stencil
arising from them. This was re-
ferred to the sanitation committee.
Complaint was made of a barking
dog nuisance. The sanitary code
prohibits this and the matter will be
given attention. The deputy in
spectors were instructed to keep
lookout for new sewers and compel
property owners to connect with
them. Clerk LaRoe reported s65.60

in the district court for the penalty.
This will continue until such time as
the Public Service company submits or
the courts shall have decided.

day for ejecting Detective Long, at the
hearing in police court yesterday after
noon. G. G. Hommann appeared for

in the right, where the new state law
supercedes the city ordinance and
where all parts Of the ordinance could
be invalidated. Recorder Pickersgill
asked the city attorney if he wanted

PUBLIC RIDE
ON THE NEW
TROLLEY LINE:

Jersey Central trolley cars began
running on regular schedule between
this city and South Amboy this
morning. The first regular passen-
ger car arrived here at o'clock and
left the foot of Smith street for the
return trip to Keyport at $40
O'Clock. Cars are running on the
half hour schedule, leaving the foot
of Smith street twenty minutes of
and ten minutes after the even hour.
Owing to the unfinished condition of
the line and because of the unfamil-
iarity of Jersey Central car crews
with the local trolley route, the new
cars were not run on State street to
woodbridge creek, as they will be in
day Or two.
1t was some time before the peo-
pie of this city, South Amboy and
vicinity became aware that the new
line of cars were running for traf-
fic and they hesitated to board the
first few cars, believing they were
being run to test the road. Later,
when 1t became known the cars were
running and regular passenger SER
vice had been established. people
were quick to board and the Jersey
Central line did good business
throughout the day
According to Vice-Prestdent
Brown, he company had first intend
ed to establish regular passenger
service tomorrow. The big carnival
at Keyport, however, tempted them
to start today, and for the benefit
of the people in this city, South
Amboy and vicinity who want to go
to Keyport today the cars were start
ed. They will continue to run and
with each day the traffic will be i'm
proved
The Jersey Central cars are fol-
lowing every second Public Service
car in this city. In front of them
are new signs indicating that the car
is bound for this city via South Am
boy or for Keyport and other south
ern places from this city. The cars
are of the large new green type.
They will continue to run through
out the day as near on schedule time
as possible. About 10 o'clock this
morning they were a little behind
time, but this was soon overcome
The last ear for this city is expected
to leave Keyport at IL o'clock to-
night. Should the Jersey Central
officials see that later cars will be
necessary to convey merry-makers to
their homes in this city and vicin-
ity, cars may be kept running to
midnight.
The formal opening of the line
yesterday was a huge success. The
Board of Freehelders, the Board of
Trade and officials of this city, off,
cials of South Amboy and the town
ship committee of Sayreville were
taken over the entire line, starting
from this city at o'clock. A special
car conveyed them and at the end
of the line at Highlands they aIight-
ed and entered the Thompson House
for dinner. Officials Of the Jersey
Central company and Of the vari-
GUS places represented, together with
members of the Board of Trade, OF
this city, made speeches.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Keyport, Aug. 3:-This is the
liveliest town in New Jersey today.
The whole place is given up to the
carnival and baby parade. Tonight
there will be grand illumination
for the mardi gras. The borough is
decorated from end to end and the
main day of the year is being cele-
brated in befitting style.
Visitors have been arriving for the
past few days until every hotel and
boarding house here is accommodating
all they possibly can, besides hun
dreds of visitors at private residences
and still a great many more arrived
today to leave again after the festivi-
ties are over.
The indications are that the event
this year will surpass, by a large
margin, any ever held here before
The decorations throughout the town
are on a much larger scale, and the
entries for the baby parade nearly
double those of last year when all
previous records were broken. The
carnival committee have by their
great enthusiasm, interested many
of the people here who were not
among the helpers last year and this
additional help will show through
out the entire programme.
Most of the business houses have
been decorated for the past week,
but this morning was when the final
touches were put ON and the resi-
dences on all the principal streets
came to the front with bunting, flags
and all other kinds OF decorations
The showers last night put a damp

THANK you; thank every one of
you. My, if my modesty did not
prohibit it 1 would say that was
the scream last night at the corner
of Smith and State streets with SO
many people out and not being ac-
costed by any one. Why, you don't
know how lonely it really felt not
to have any one to pay attention to
me, maybe you do not think that /
was on this corner? we'll I was and
just had a jolly good time to. 1t
is hard for me to say what impressed
me the most, but / guess 1t was the
young man standing on the fruit
stand corner who l heard tell his
friend with the straw hat and dark
suit, that he had seen me in the auto
and if l passed this corner he would
recognize me no matter how | was
made up, and that he was going to
take good care that | did not get by
him without he seeing me- / asked
this gentleman what the crowd was
standing on this corner for7 when he
replied that they were looking for
Lucy; Lucy, I said, who is Lucy?'
he then remarked that it was a girl
that the EVENING NEWS had out
for capture. What did she do that
they want to capture her?' l asked
nothing. They will give fifty dol
lars to anyone who identities her.
l asked him If he knew her when
he saw her and he remarked that he
sure did, as he had seen her In an
automobile at noon and would be
sure and recognize her If he saw her
again.
l just wish to remind the Young
man, If he had accosted the elderly
lady to whom he gave all this in
formation that he would be fifty dol
lars better off at this reading. I
also heard the officer who was talk
ing to the gentleman who is rather
short and was wearing the light cap
that the boys were after a colored
woman who passed this corner in
the early part of the night. l also
heard the young lady who was in
company with the young man dressed
in the dark clothes and the young
lady who was clad in a light coat
suit, that 1t was Elusive Lucy: and
she had not pronounced 1t right.
These three young people passed
the grocery store corner when I
heard the conversation. I also heard
the gentleman with the black derby
hat telling his friend in the light
rain coat that no one could catch
Lucy as she was too quick for them,
he said that she could go up to a
fellow and ask him question and
by the time he was ready to answer
her, why she was gone and no one
could tell where. His friend then
remarked. %. you are crazy, man,
where In h could she get to, that
quick?'
His friend then answered by say
ing all right would Just like to see
her come up to you Just now. After
