Scott was most positive in his denial

RICH STRIKE AT
|TONOPAH RECORDED
Huge Body of Quartz Is Found
Underlying Dacite at
700 Feet
I Special Dispotch 10 The Call

RENO. New. Sept. 25.-Mining men
here are excited over reports from Ton
opah that another rich ore body has
been discovered in what is known as
the East End.
The discoveries arose from the strik-
ing of quartz, where dacite was sup
posed to be, in two widely removed
localities. 1t was struck on the 700
level of the Mcnamara and the $50
level of the Tonopah Extension. It is
believed to extend west as far as the
Belmont and may ultimately be found
to join the Belmont ore body by an
other break through the dacite.
The ore body has been tapped at two
places. showing width of 1000 feet.
Its extent is 5000 feet and its thickness
80 to 40 feet. It is quartz underlying
and emerging from the dacite intrusion,
which was supposed to extend under
the entire field, and was thought to
cut off further hope of finding values
below it. 1t now develops that while
the dacite did run under the first ore
body on the west. it has either folded
back under and retreated in the direc-
tion whence 1t came or It's extent was
not continuous to the east.
Enthusiasts think that thousands of
tons of ore may be regarded as .'in

SHE POSED ASA
NAN FOR 49YEARS
Disguise Is Revealed When
Woman, 6z Years Old, Is
Ordered to Asylum


ALBANY. Ore, Sept. 25.-Only after
she had been ordered committed to the
state insane asylum by the Linn county
court today was the discovery made
that Ray Leonard, 50 years old. an old
resident of Lebanon. has for 40 years
been masquarading as man. During
this time it had never been suspected
by the woman's friends that she was
not man.
Leonard came to Lebanon in 1889
with his or her father, saying that they
were from Maine. Both worked as
shoemakers. and when the father died
eight years ago Ray continued the shop
alone.
Several eccentricities were noted in
Ray Leonard. One of these was that he
never went out of the shop, day or
night. except for meals, and he always
refused to vote at elections. Ray Leon
ard talked and walked like a man,
smoked pipe-and chewed tobacco.

IDITAROD, Alaska Sept. 25.-The
$4,000 of gold dust stolen from George
Friend and his armed guards by party

which it contained. The reward of
$4,000 offered for. the capture Of the
robbers was left standing. and after

Two Cornered for Auditor
The three cornered fight for auditor
is one OF the most interesting contests
and owes much of its uncertainty to
the spectacular campaign made by
Charles Wesley Reed. Undoubtedly the
fight for first place Is between John
Lackmann, injorsed by the republican
and democratic organizations. and Au-
ditor Boyle. Reed has waged a re-
lentless warfare on Boyle, bombarding
him with the most confusing excerpts
from the public records.

ceded that it has made the election of

SIT DOWN. 'ROARs
court TO AIDS
OF HARRINGTON
Attorneys Resent Bordwell's
Order That Colleague Must
Answer Questions
Counsel for Alleged Dynamiters
Considers Asking Change
of Judges

Los ANGELES. Sept 25.-John r.
Harrington. the attorney allied with
the Mcnamara defense who was
charged with contempt of court for
having refused to answer questions
asked him before the grand jury, was
ordered by Judge Bordweil to respond
TO the questions. AS a result of the
ruling. lie Comte Davis. one of the Nc
Namara attorneys, declared it was
probable that the defense would ask
for a change of judges at the trial of
the alleged dynamite conspirators.
The associates of Harrington, who
was cited for contempt for refusing to
rspond to queries regarding his alleged
attempt to influence Mrs. Lena Inger-
soil of San Francisco, a witness for the
state. said that they did not know
whether he would appear before the
grand jury next Monday the time
agreed upon or would elect to 90 to
Jail and institute habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
Ruling Follows Stormy Session
Judge Bordwell's ruling came after a
stormy session in court. in which LIE
Compile Davis and Joseph Scott. at
torneys for the McNamaras, were or
dered TO sit down, and ". J. Ford. as
sistant district attorney, was COM
manded to cease arguing
The Judge said that after an examin-
alton of the records he had concluded
that Harrington's answer to the con-
tempt charge contained no denial of the
facts as stated in the affidavit of
Charles Weir, foreman of the grand
jury. regarding the attorneys refusal
to answer.
When the Judge reached that part of
his ruling. Attorney Scott arose and said
he desired to file an amended answer
to the charge against Harrington. He
said the new document would deal with
the contention of himself and his as
sociates that the main issue in the pro-
ceedings against Harrington was
whether the grand jury and the district
attorney were acting in good faith or
were instituting merely an idle pro-
eeeding. He said he and his associ-
ates wanted to know if the court would
protect them from such actions.
Amended Answer Refused
Judge Bordwell said he did not think
an amended answer necessary as he
had understood the original document.
He declared that any adversions cast
at the grand jury and the district at
torney by the defense at the begin
ming of the hearing last Friday had not
been admitted to the records and he
did not wish to hear more of them.
He declared that Harrington's services
to the McNamaras were not those OF
counsel and therefore the law did not
protect him in that capacity. There
was no reason, the judge declared, why
Harrington should not answer the
questions asked by the grand jury. He
ruled against Harrington's contention

DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WOMEN,
Woman Lawyer is Not Allowed to
Practice.

Atlanta, June 23.-Judge John T.
Pendleton, senior Judge of the Full
ton Superior court, yesterday re-
fused to admit to practice at the
Georgia bar, Mrs. Minnie Hale, of
Alabama, who had graduated from
the Atlanta law school, and ruled
with his refusal that the State code
of Georgia specifically prohibits wo-
men from practicing law in this State
by that section of the code which
begins, ANY male citizen of good
moral standing, etc.
The only objection to Mrs. Hale's
admission was that she was a wo-
man. If Judge Pendleton's interpre-
tation of the code stands-and Judge
Pendleton has been reversed very
few times in his career-no woman
can practice at the Georgia bar.
After her petition for admission
had been refused, the local court
house reporters approached Mrs.
Hale for statement as to what she
intended to do. ''The newspapers al
ways botch things up so terribly" I"
she replied, that don't care to have
any more notoriety in print

TWO DEAD, OTHERS INJURED.
Great Property Loss Also Follows
Fearful Oil Explosion.

Port Arthur, Tex, June 26.-Two
lives were lost, half dozen or more
men were injured, some seriously,
three oil barges and one tug burned
to the waters edge, about 10000
barrels of oil destroyed and two
large warehouses and over 500 feet
of wharves burned, in an explosion
followed by a disastrous fire in the
Port Arthur harbor and water front
this morning. The loss is estimated
late to-day at about 100000.
Capt. Frank Weber, of the barge
Gumble, and a man who is as yet un-
identified, lost their lives in the ex-
plosion aboard the Gumble, where
the fire originated.
The flames swept rapidly over
smaller vessels belonging to the Tex
as company and spread to two large
warehouses of that company. These
two, together with over 500 feet of
wharves, were soon a mass of ruins.
Other buildings were damaged.

Boiler Flues Collapse.

Memphis, Tenn, June 25.-Seven-
teen negroes dead, two others who
will die and Engineer Floyd Morgan
fatally scalded is the result of the
collapsing of the flues of the boiler on
the steamer City of St. Joseph yester-
day afternoon. Eight of the negroes
died Immediately. Five were burned
and three scalded to death. Nine of
the others fatally scalded died to-day.
Engineer Morgan, whose condition
is regarded as critical, declared that
he was standing near the steam gauge
yesterday at 4:15 just as the boat
was about to land at Berkley landing,
Ark, seven miles below Memphis.
The gauge, he maintains, stood at 145
degrees. The limit pressure prescrib-
ed by the government is 144. The
high pressure is believed to have
caused the flues to collapse and an
investigation will be made by the
federal authorities.
