PICKPOCKETS and
BUNKOMEN JAILED
Nineteen Known Criminals Are
Imprisoned on Charges
of Vagrancy

For several days Detectives Tom
Murphy and Arthur McQuaide have
been specially detailed by acting Cap
tain Shea of the southern district to
round up bunko men and pickpockets
who make Market street their field of
operations. As a result 19 we'll known
members of these two criminal profes-
sions have been arrested and charged
with vagrancy, Their cases are pend
ing in the police courts, and Chief
Martin has asked the police judges to
send each of them, if possible, to the
county jail for six months.
The approaching festival of the Ma
tive Sons will bring criminals to the
city, and men will be specially de-
tailed to look out for and arrest
them SO that visitors will not be
robbed.
In discussing the arrests Martin said
yesterday;
1T is unfair and untrue to say that
the city is in a worse plight than here
tofore from bunko men and pickpock-
cts, and in this the reports will bear
me out. This is a cosmopolitan city,
with large floating population. and no
sensible person could say that there
should be no criminals. 1t is the aim
of this department to suppress crime
much as possible, and 1 think we
are doing so to the best of our ability"

RABBIT HUNT TO
SUPPLY REN0'S
CHRISTMAS

RENO, Dee. 10. - A gigantic rabbit
drive for the two-fould purpose OF OK
terminating the pests and furnishing q
Christmas dinner to the poor OF tue
city through the charity organizations
has been planned for Sunday.
More than 100 hunters are expected
to make up the party that will leave
from in front of the Journal Office at )
a. m. in automobiles, of which a dozen
have already been promised, and it IS
expected that every mar will bag about
50 of the animals.
The Red Rock section, located about
% miles north of here, has been Sc
lected for the scene Of the drive, after
having been considered with IA
Springs. Ranchers in the favored sec
ton claim that the rabbits are eating
up their crops.
All of the animals will be brought
back to Reno and given to the Saliva
ton Army, the Volunteers of America
and other charitable organizations that
give dinners and donate baskets to the
poor on Christmas. The rabbits will he
placed on ice and kept until several
days before the holiday, when they viii
be distributed.
Last year a dozen hunters went OH
on the drive and succeeded in bagging
200 rabbits. 1t is believed that if all
who have signifed their intention Ct
going make the trip more than 5000
rabbits will be captured, as they are
more plentiful than ever this year, az
cording to the ranchers.

Salt Boom
Southern Nevada
irrigation Project

A coterie of Salt Lake capitalists WIS.,
tied southeastern Nevada this week,
SAYS the Salt Lake Tribune. The OBJ
%jective point of the members of the
party was Moapa valley, but there
was included a visit to the growing
town of Las Vegas on the Salt Lake
route.
In speaking of Las Vegas Gus S.
Holmes said that the little city of SIX
years is growing to man IS estate. The
shops that are being built by the rail-
road running through and converging
to Goldtield and other important points
in Nevada are having a healthy effect,
being the means of placing Las Vegas
in the line of progress. The work be-
ing done by the railroads will be the
means of increasing the population of
that little city-in some respects de-
lightful-at least 1000 within the next
few months.
TIL visitors to the Moapa valley this
side of Las Vegas, were composed of j.
c. Lynch, John Condron, Mr.. Holmes
and 7. II. Fitzgerald. These gentle
men spent several days in the Moapa
valley, in which they are largely inter
ested, in an inspection of winter gar
dens. There they found conditions
s~easonable for great crops. Upon con
sentative computation, based upon what
has been aceomplishe this last year, at
least 500 cars of vegetables should be
shipped to the various markets of the
world in 1911, the members of the par
ty say. One of the visitors said:
"Just think of it, / never saw any
thing like it in my life. When we were
in the valley we saw the seventh crop
of l%ueerne being cut, and a further
revelation to us was the harvesting of
the third crop of Kaffir corn-a strong
and healthy yield"
"Land'' said another of the party,
will produce from $500 to $1,000 worth
of fruit and vegetables an acre. You
may take the eantaloupe. There is
nothing that excells it, not even the ia.
nous Rocky Ford. The Moapa canta-
loupe is becoming famous the world
around, and, like everything of excel
%lence, there is a constantly increasing
demand. This condition of necessity
will obtain, for the reason that
the area of production is limited, while
the demand yearly is on the Increase
1t was the consensus of opinion that
Moapa valley, so close to Salt Lake
City and Los Angeles, will become the
garden spot of the west.

BRYAN ON ELECTION
TWO YEARS HENCE

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. II. William
j. Bryan is red hot after the Democrats
of the east in his weekly paper, the
Commoner. He says that while it IS
possible that victory may be obtained
two years hence, it will be gained at
the sacrifice of principle. Here is Bry-
an S comment on the situation SO far as
the Democrats are concerned:
"The Democrats are being asked to
accept the leadership of Wall street not
because of the Democratic principles
advanced, but because victory has been
promised for 1912. This is not a new
scheme on the part of Wall street. In
1892 the party was victorious ON the
tariff issue and when the election was
over Wall street demanded that the
Sherman silver purchase act should be
repealed Internationally. That favor
was secured by the shameful use of
patronage and by coercion, and the re-
suit was the greatest Republican trl-
umph in 1896 since 1872.
What stupid folly it is to think of
winning an election at the sacrifice Of
principle. If an eastern Democrat is
nominated it will be a surrender 10
Wall street and the final relegation of
Democracy to Oblivion. This is what
the Democratic party is coming to. 1t
is really too bad after the recent vic
tory at the polls.'
