UNTERMEYER HAS
ADVICE TO OFFER
THINKS GOVERNMENT SHOULD
APPEAL FROM TOBACCO
CASE DECREE.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2O.-"Con-
gress should force the government
to appeal from the decree in the
American Tobacco company case,
said Samuel Untermeyer of New
York Saturday before the senatorial
committee on interstate commerce
"The court should be forced to say
whether the dissolution plan agreed
upon is what it meant by an order
of disintegration.
Mr.. Untermeyer said he under.
stood the attorney general had been
to some extent consulted in the
formation of the plan of dissolution
but believed the tobacco compan!
had done" the attorney general
He said the tobacco trust has sim
ply changed it's clothes
THE pitiful and humiliating fias
co in the American Tobacco com
pany case has strengthened my belle
that supplementary legislation il
necessary for the enforcement o
the Sherman antitrust law" saiC

.LAWLESSNESS IS
BEYOND CONTROL
NEITHER REBELS OR INPERIALS
CAN STOP THE WANTON
OUTRAGES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Affairs
in China apparently have reached
such point that neither the rebels
nor imperials are able to check
acts of lawlessness. Advices to the
state department Saturday reported
that brigandage is ON the increase
in various parts of the empire. Bust
ness is reported in a critical condi-
tion and finances in very bad shape.
Rear admiral Murdocks, COM
mandant of the American naval
forces in China. reports that Nan
king is cut off from communication
with the outside world by railroad
aud telegraph and that the natives
are leaving in disorder. All the
missionaries, except three, are re-
ported to have left Marking for
WI Hu There are no disorders in
Che Foo, but many robberies are be-
ing committed in the vicinity.
Later advices from Nanking,
where the decisive battle of the
revolution is thought to be impend-
ing, are to the effect that all Amer
leans are now outside of the walled
town with the exception of six
members of the Red Cross.

TUNGSTEN is A VERY
REMARKABLE MINERAL

The mineral tungsten (the name
meaning heavy stone) has been
known for many years, but only
comparatively recently has it become
of economic Importance. The most
important use, according to Frank
l.. Hess, of the United States ge-
illogical survey, and the one which
makes tungsten mining on an ex-
tensive scale possible, is an alloy
for tool use. Lathes using tools
made from tungsten steel may be
speeded up until the chips leaving
the tool are so hot that they turn
blue, an operation which would ruin
the temper of high carbin STEEL 1t
| is stated that about five times as
much can be done with lathes built
for such speed and work can be
| done by the same lathe with carbon
steel tools. The melting point of
tungsten is exceedingly high-5576
degree Fahrenheit Tungsten also
has an important use in making in
candescent electric lamps, crucibles
for electric furnaces and various
other articles.

HALIFAX STOCK

H. r. Epstine, the broker, has
been appointed fiscal agent of
limited amount of Halifax stock to

new Halifax three-compartment shaft
is now down $40 feet and it will
not he very long before the 1000
foot point is reached and cross
cutting for the immense Belmont
ledge started. The purchase of this
stock is a gilt-edge investment, for
when the ledge is encountered, as it
surely will be, the shares in IT,
company will go a-soaring, and it
will be the same old story: u
could have bought Halifax at $125;

daily by our people in regards to

FATHER KILLS
HIS DAUGHTER
COUNTY COMMISSIONER MUIR
DERS SON-lN-LAW; TRIES
SUICIDE.

MOAB, Utah, Nov. 20.--After
killing his daughter and fatally
wounding his son-in-law yesterday,
]. i. Brown, a county commissioner
and one of the wealthlest farmers
in Grand county, barricaded himself
in his house and is defying the of
ficers of the law last night.
Over the telephone Brown de-
clares that he will shoot the first
man who approaches the house and
that he will take his own life
when he has provided for the future
of his surviving daughter.
The dead woman was Mrs. A. j..
Dubois. Her husband, in a dying
statement, said that the shooting
was the result of a trivial quarrel
because he did not ride home with
Brown from a dance. Brown met
him in the road on his way home,
he said, shot him with a rifle and
then turned the weapon on his wife.
Dubois died last night. Mrs. Du-
bois was killed instantly.
Browns story is that his daugh-
ter stepped in front of her hus-
band and was shot by accident.

THE NIGHT
RIDERS OF REEL
FOOT LAKE"
SPECIAL RELEASE PICTURE IN
TWO REELS WILL BE SEEN
NEXT WEDNESDAY.

At the Butler theater on Wednes-
day afternoon and evening the man
agement has secured a special re-
lease picture in two reels of 2000
feet, entitled THE Night Riders Of
Reel Foot Lake, Tenn. Special slides
will be shown portraying all the
leading characters A special lecture
will be given by young man from
that district, who is very familiar
with the surroundings and all the
principals who took part.
The press has commented very
favorably upon the show wherever
given. The following is clipped from
the Denver Post of June 2, 1911:
The story of the Night Riders,
which is being shown at the Prin-
cess theater this week, portrays all
the thrilling and horrible phases of
the deeds of the clan, with the
scenes laid in West Tennessee, and
the complete story of their incep-
tion is shown till the time of the
undoing of the band, when the state
took up the work after the murder
of Captain Rankin, near Reel Foot
Lake, putting the organization out
of business.
There are many strong scenes
presented, giving one a clearer idea
CT existing conditions in Tennessee
and Kentucky when the tobacco
growers were in the thick of their
fight and picturing the horrors of
that time. Garret Johnson, the
chief; the queen of the Night Rid
ers and the clan at their meeting
places in the thick of the woods,
are among the most important
scenes shown"
The admission to this feature will
be 25 cents for adults and 10 cents
for children The regular three
shows at night and two in the
afternoon.

late Saturday on an indictment re-
turned by the federal grand jury at
Laredo, charged with conspiring

Gen. Reyes waived examination

The valley has a gentle slope; is
