The Hague Court of Arbitration is
to assemble Tuesday for the consider
alton of case that differs consider
ably from any other that has been
brought before the international tri-
bunal. This case is the case of Saw
arkar, the Indian student, whom the
courts in Bombay have just sentenced
to transportation for life on a charge
of sedition. Savarkar was arrested in
London and a year ago was extradited
to India for trial. At Marseilles he eff
fected his escape, but was captured
by a French gendarme and turned over
TO the British authorities under the
belief that he was a common thief.
When the true facts came to light an
international question arose as to the
legality of the surrender of the fuC'-
tive. 1t is this question that The
Hague court is called upon to settle.
In the meantime the sentence of Saw
arkar is held in allegiance.

SUNDAY
AT THE CHURCHES

1T was truly a catholic congrega-
tlon that assembled at st. Paul g Sun
day morning to participate in the
Easter services. Long before the open
ing hour an audience had gathered that
completely filed the little chapel,
composed of Protestant and Catholic,
jew and Gentle and many of no pro-
fessed religious belief.
And the little church had been beau
tifully prepared for the occasion. The
main altar and the statues of SITS.
Mary and Joseph were fragrant with
lilies and potted plants, priest and
acolytes were resplendent in their vest
ments, while inside the chancel were
seated many of the class who had made
their first communion at an earlier
mass, clad in holiday attire, the little
girls in bridal costumes.
Promptly at 1890 O'Clock Father
Enright began the celebration of the
ancient and holy sacrifice of the mass,
assisted by full orchestra and many
fine soloists AS the solemn rite pro
ceeded, visitors, evidently in full
sympathy with the occasion, knet and
rose to their feet with communicates
as the service required.
The musical program was perhaps
the finest ever rendered on similar
occasion in Winnemucca. At the
Gloria Mrs. Rennick sang solo and
Mrs Roberts and Mrs. Seyboid duet.
AT the Credo Electa Hurst sang the
beautiful solo, "Et Incarnalust Est. ;,
followed, at the Benedictus, by Mrs.
Seybold in go Salutarus. - At the post
communion Mr.. w. r. Rich rendered
the 113th Psalm in a most pleasing
manner, to the organ accompaniment
of Mrs. Rich.
The orchestra, composed of Prof.
Evan, w. G. Gurnsey. James Williams.
Sig. Lamducci, w. NJ Dunn and S.
Robinson, rendered selections from
Mercandante "Gloria'' and Gou-
mods "Nazareth. -
After reading the gospel of the day,
Father Enright preached an eloquent
sermon, appropriate to the occasion
and the mixed congregation, which was
given the keenest attention of the en-
tire audience. The speaker told the
simple story of the resurrection, citing
many authorities in substantiation of
the authenticity of the event, stating
that upon this one fact rested the en-
tire fabric of Christianity If Christ,
by His own divine efforts, did not
resnscitate himself from the grave.
then, indeed, Christianity is nothing
more than fable.

SILVER THREADS
DELAYED A WEEK

"Silver Threads,' which was to
have been presented at the Nixon
opera house next Saturday evening,
has been delayed on the road and the
performance has been postponed until
Friday night, April 2S.
The following is the exact criticism
written by A. F. Thiel, dramatic editor
of the Dayton, Ohio, Journal on March
IL, 1910:
!" Silver Threads is the title of
very beautiful play in four acts,
which opened an engagement at the
National Thursday afternoon. The
play and the players presenting it
proved happy surprise to the play
goers and everyone was delighted and
charmed with the story, and the tell
ing of it. In fact, but few plays of
the season have received so much genu-
did sSilver Threads, following the
performance on Thursday afternoon.
1t is one of the best plays that the
National has offered this season, and
there We're many good plays presented
at this popular playhouse during the
winter. Silver Threads is just bit
reminiscent of Hazel Kirke, that
stirring stage story which older
theatregoers will remember as pre-
sented by Etfie Eisler with such tre-
mendous success. Silver Threads is
replete with heart interest and from
the very first takes hold of the audi
ence with compelling force and holds
the close attention until the final cur
tain. The speech of Ruth Laurie to
her father in the third act is quite
thrilling and one of the very fine fea-
lures of the entire play. Another
charming feature is the singing of the
old songs by Richard ]. Jose, the well
known contra tenor, who has been
heard in minstrelsy for years, and
whose voice is as attractive as ever.
His singing of 'Silver Threads Among
the Gold, Daddy and abide With
Me, were very effective and aroused
great enthusiasm. The comany pre-
senting this play is an exceptionally
good one and the play is artistically
presented. The company includes
Miss Louise Kent, an actress of much
ability, who plays the part of Ruth
Laurie Richard Jose, Leslie Stowe,
Eva Condor, Edith M. Cook, John A.
Miesen, Hobart Cavanaugh, w. D..
Stone. Mort Weinstein and others.'
"Silver Threads will be the at
traction at the Nixon opera house on
the 2Sth of April, and those who en-
joy charmingly told and interesting
stage story need not miss this play.

TAWNEY PAYS RESPECTS
TO NSURGENT REPUBLICANS
Especial to the Silver State.)

Especial to the Silver state.
SPOKANE, WASH, April 1S.-Ex-
Congressman James A. Tawney, OF
Minnesota, a member of the interna-
tional waterways commission, who
was one of the speakers at the cut
over land convention of the Spokane
chamber of commerce, flayed the pro-
gressive wing of the Republican party,
also striking at the policies advocated
by Colonel Roosevelt in his tour of
the northwest in the course of TO-
minute address. He raped the Roose-
welt -Pinchot conservation idea, saying:
"Good citizens and not trees are need
ed to develop the Pacific slope coun,
try The more settlers you can get
into the western districts the greater
will be your influence in state and
national AFFAIRS He also predicted
that the development of the western
country will continue, "unless,'' he
added with emphasis, checked by the
fear the captains of industry have for
so-called progressive legislation AT
terward, in an interview, Mr.. Tawney
attacked the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Canada, saying it would
be to the disadvantage of the United
States in every way.

Public Ownership.

The government is making expert
ments with public ownership to an ex-
tent greater than most persons realize.
1t has in the postoffice department the
biggest business institution in this
country. 1t owns telegraph lines in
Alaska and in the Philippines, and
operates them. 1t conducts a steam
ship line and a railroad, in connection
with the Panama canal, which it is
building itself under the management
OF an army engineer. 1t carries on
surveys of the public lands. It does
so many things that when the Social
lists succeed in electing majority of
the members of congress, instead of
one lonesome member, and they decree
government ownership of various
things now managed privately, it will
hardly cause jar to the business
world.

STATE ASKS JURY
FOR UR|E'S LIFE

In the District Court Saturday the
Jury box was filed at 3 o'clock, in the
case of Uric, on trial for the murder of
the Outlets at Inlay. The panel was
then subjected to peremptory chal
lenges, the State using one and the de-
fense five. At about $3.50 O'Clock the
jury was complete, with the following
personnel:
Charles G. Violet, Hans Jensen,
Jonathan Ii. Green, George w. Os-
trander, G. Ii. Breffie, r. F.. Bangs,
Vernon Westfall, William Ellis, George
l.. Pitt, Walter J. Polkinghorne, John
Christensen and j. G.. Cathcart.
OF the 165 talesmen summoned, but
dozen remained when the jury was
complete.
In his opening address to the jury
yesterday morning, District Attorney
Callahan stated that evidence would
be presented to them which would con
clusively show that defendant had
fred the shot which ended the life of
Quilici, and that the State would ask
for verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree, with the punishment
fixed at death. 1t is also the theory
of the State that three men perpetrat
ed the crime.
Prof. J. F. Abel was the first witness
called, who identified maps he had made
of the scene of the tragedy Other
witnesses were County Physician Man
gan and Drs. Swezy and Giroux, who
testified as to the nature of the
wounds which caused the death of the
Outlets. They were followed by Cor
oner Nunamaker, of INLAY, who testi-
fled concerning the inquest he held
upon the bodies of the victims and also
to the amount of money found on the
dead body of Quiliei, amounting to
$460 in gold and So in paper money.
From this testimony it seems probable
that the desperadoes only secured the
contents of the till, amounting to
$l4.20, which amount was secured by
Sheriff Lamb when he captured the
prisoners In their camp on the Hum
boldt river, short distance from I'm
lay.
May Slaughter, who conducts sa-
loon in the vicinity of the holdup,
William J. Walker, a bartender, and
John w. Robinson, another saloon
keeper of the locality, testified as to
incidents observed by them during and
shortly after the murder. Walker was
positive that he saw three men leav-
ing the Quiliei house.
1t is probable that the State will
rest some time tomorrow afternoon.
Whether or not the defense will offer
testimony will depend upon later de
velopments. This afternoon, when ask
ed how many witnesses he would in
troduce, Attorney j. II. Wise, for the
defense, was -eommittal, but, as
above stated, il is rumored about the
courtroom that there will be but one
or two at most. 1t is thought, in any
event, that a verdict will be secured
Thursday.
Judge Shields, who will conduct the
TRAINER defense, left for his home at
Twin Falls, Idaho, Sunday, but will
return in time for the opening of the
case. which has been set for Saturday
morning of this week.
