The Jarr Children Are Duly
Warned Against King Alcohol


Their than this. they were stridently
billed as The Moral Anarchists"
From all the side streets austere
elderly folk were leading sombre-faced
young people to the lecture. For It had
been especially advertised as "A Direct
Appeal to Youth"
Some Of the chi. zen struggled slightly
against entering. but it was apparent
that most n them had abandoned hope
before reaching the portals OF the
place. Master Jarr, with one last flick
ering effort to protest, trod upon his
grandmother's tenderest foot as they
descended the basement steps and then
grimly resigned himself to fate.
He was not fortified by the conscious
ness that every adult was saying
what a pretty child.' and that every
little girl was envying a glorious blue
silk parasol. a grandly frilled and
lounced new frock INC twinkling patent
leather shoes with white kid tops n
pearl buttons. as his sister was.
Master Jarr hunched himself into a
corner OF a seat and dug his hands into
his pockets, regretting that he had not
had the forethought to bring along his
bean shooter.

There was a buzz and a p~erceptible
stir. The tickets to the lecture had
been spread broadcast through the Vi
cinity. It would seem. And for some
strange reason very few OF those pres
ent had the green receipt slips.

PRACTICAL HUMOR,

There should be abatement of jocular impulses that lead

STATES RIGHTS BLOCKS POPULAR ELECTION PLAN

lieve that the Sutherland amendment is not as destructive to their great governmental theory as they had im- agined. And this gives more hope to the advocates of the Sutherland reso- lution.
 Senator Borah believes that the majority of the senate will be in ia vor of his Dill But whether that majority will reach the two thirds requisite for its passage is a question yet to be solved.
 Borah will make the speech of his fife upon his bill today. Borah is perhaps the strongest of the insurg- ents. and his speech will be one of power 1t is thought that Bailey will follow. Owens and Gore of Oklaho- ma. Chamberlain of Oregon and Clark of Arkansas have declared they will support the impending Bo' ah resolution. even if the Suther' and amendment which strike at the rights of the states, is voted into the Borah resolution Mr Bailey said he would be incline1 that way, too, and would be guided by what the majority decided.

negro LAID
OUT BY BLOW
FROM GERMAN
BOOKER WASHINGTON LODGES
COMPLAINT AGAINST
ASSAILANT.

NEW YORK, March 21.-On COM
plant of Booker T. Washington,
the negro educator, man was
locked up by the police last night
charged with assault upon Dr.
Washington in front of a Sixty-third
street house at 10 o'clock. THE
latter received so severe a blow on
the head from a club that he was
at the Flower hospital for more
than an hour having his wounds
dressed.
The alleged assailant, large
Germany, gave the name of Albert
Ulrich. Ulrich told the police he
came up from the basement with
his club when his wife complained
a negro had been hanging around
ihe hallway, acting iE a suspic
manner.
He walked up to the man and
asked him what he wanted around
'hNiC' nv dnoW6T U6luS given, he
grabbed the negro, ignorant it was
the educator. In the mix-up which
followed Ulrich welded his club
and received in return blow which
Washington admitted he struck.
At the police station, Washington
volunteered no admission to his
identity, and when forced to do so
gave his name to the officers. Loath
to believe him, Ulrich demanded the
negro's arrest, and it was not un-
til Washington had proved his iden-
tiy and made full explanation of
his presence in New York that he,
was allowed to go. Washington was
SO afraid that exaggerated reports
of the affair would reach the news
papers that he rather belittled the
incident.

L. v. & T. CONDUCTOR
PAINFULLY INJURED

Conductor John Tooley of the L.
V. & T. train, sustained painful, but
not serious, injuries yesterday after
noon through falling from the top
of a box-car while assisting in
switching at Mud Springs.
His escape from instant death
was little short of miraculous.
While standing on the top of the
car a coupling was made so vio-
lently that he lost his balance,
stumbled, and fell to the ground,
striking on his head and shoulders.
A nurse was secured and accom-
panied him to Goldfeld. Before his
arrival, however, he had rallied con-
siderably and was removed to the
Grimshaw hotel, where he was Civ
en- medical attention by DR.. D. A..
Turner. This morning he was suf-
ficiently improved to sit up, but it
is believed he will be unable to re-
sumo his duties for several days.

PATENTED LANDS
TO BE ASSESSED
PASSES ACT THAT
REQUIRES THEY BE ASSESSED
NOT LESS THAN $1.25.

CARSON CITY, New, March 21.
One, of the most important acts
passed by the last legislature was
that requiring the assessors in the
state in all cases to assess patent
ed lands and state contract lanus
at not less than .$125 an acre
This will make a striking differ
ence in the assessments, as there are
thousands of acres of such lands in
this state, many tracts being owned
by the railroad. In the past it is
declared the assessment has been
nominal, running from ten cents
an acre up.
The measure was introduced by
Sonatate Leader Bell of Humboldt
and got quickly through the demo-
cla'.c senate. 1t was watched very
closely in the house, and at an OPP
perfume moment, slipped through
the ho6y when its vigilant oppo-
Leuts were off their guard.

STORY Of
DELUGE TOLD
BY PICTURES
SCENES ENACTED 3317 YEARS
Il. G.. PRODUCED BY
VITAGRAPH.

Tomorrow afternoon and evening
a treat is in store for the patrons
of the Butler, when the great Bib
lical story, "The Deluge," will be
shown at this popular place of
amusement. Every one is familiar
with this story. A slight synopsis
follows:
This is a Biblical drama perform
ed 1917 years B. c., a picture of the
destruction of the world by a flood.
The Lord, observing the wickedness
of the world, decides to destroy it.
He instructs Noah to build an ark,
or boat, in which he and his three
sons, his wife and their wives take
refuge. He is also told to take into
the ark two of each of all living
creatures. Noah does as he is told;
the rain descends upon the earth,
covering it with water, and the peo-
pie are destroyed, but Noah, his
sons and their families are saved.
After forty days of inudation the
water subsidies. Noah sends out a
dove from the ark; it returns with
an olive branch in its mouth.
After a short period the ark rests
on Mount Ararat; Noah releases all
the inmates from the ark: he and his
sons and their wives build an altar
unto the Lord, make sacrifice and
offer up prayer and thanksgiving for
their deliveranee. The Lord sets a
rainbow in the sky as promise that
he will never destroy the world again
with a deluge.

FREE TEXT
BOOKS WILL
BE PRINTED
STATE PROVIDES FOR PUBLICA.
TION BY PEOPLE OF
STATE.

After a scrimmage for the past
few weeks, the bill providing for
free text books, was passed at a
late hour last week.
Both political parties declared for
this law in their platforms and the
educators of the state advocated its
passage
The bill, as it now stands, pro
vides for the state printing of free
text books for the use of the pri-
mary grades. This will necessitate
the work of compilation under the
supervision of State Superintendent
of Public Instruction The sum Of
ten thousand dollars is set aside
for this experimental work on the
part of the state.
Had the sum been larger it would
probably have resulted in more
satisfactory condition. AS it is the
superintendent of state printing will
enueaVor TO make the most of it
and sometime this summer he will
be busy in this class of work.
1t is a start in the right direc-
tion. There is no reason why
Nevada should continue to pay her
money to the book trusts of other
states, while home labor can furnish
just as good books and keep the
money within our borders.
1t gives employment to many
craftsmen, and will in the end re-
suit in the production of practical
ly all books used in the public
schools by home people.
The law as passed, is liberal in
allowing scope and it is believed
that some results will be reached
that in two years from this time
will show the people of Nevada
where they can keep many thou
sands of dollars within the home
border.

YELLOW TIGER
LOOKS GOOD TO
mining men
INVESTIGATION SHOWS GOOD
PAY STREAK LEADING
TO FLORENCE.
The Goldfield Tribune saws:

AAS OOAAhSAA 1AAbuhC says
Quite party of mining men visit
ed the Yellow Tiger yesterday to
inspect the property, and all of them
were more than pleased with the
splendid showing in the drift on
the 700-foot level. The streak of
ore is four feet wide and it is get
ting stronger in mineral and value
as the drift advances. There seems
absolutely no room to doubt that
the Tiger is going to make a real
mine, and it's bearing on the fu-
ture of the district by extending the
producing zone is of the utmost
Importance.
The course of the vein is appar-
emily toward the Florence, and the
fact that ore has been opened in
the Tiger gives encouragement that
along the fiat up which the Tono-
pah & Tidewater railroad runs a
string of mines will be developed
that will some day add greatly to
the production Of the camp.
IT demonstrates that there are
great possibilities in the properties
owned by the Red Hills and the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany in that section, and gives add
ed value to the entire southeast
corner of the district.

MAY
ADDRESS The
BIG CONGRESS
DELEGATION WILL REQUEST
NEW SECRETARY TO SPEAK
TO IRIGATIONIsTs.

CHICAGO, March 21.-One of the
first delegations to wait upon Walt
er l.. Fisher, new secretary of the
interior and the third member of
President Taft's official family to be
chosen from Chicago, Immediately
ne assumes active charge of his new
office, probably will be a commits
sion of several of his Chicago
friends of years acquaintanceship
who will formally invite him TO
address one or more of the ses-
sions OF the Nineteenth National Ir-
rigation congress, which are to be
held here late this year.
Plans to have Secretary Fisher
as a guest of the congress were
outlined by members of the Chicago
board Of control Immediately after
the news was flashed from Wash
ington early in the week with the
sudden message that Secretary Bal
linger's successor was to be the
Chicagoan of conservation and trac-
tion fame.
That Mr.. Fisher will appear on
the speakers platform of the con-
gress is practically certainty, and
1t Is not improbable that his adj
dress will be made on the closing
day, December 8. at which time the
president himself will speak. Aside
from his natural interest in all
things pertaining to Chicago, the
new secretary has vast knowledge
OF conservation matters, having for
years made a study of conservation
in all its phases, and is unusually
well posted in federal and state
laws governing the control Of water
powers and waterways. These mat
ters always have been of vital i'm
portance to irrigation interests and
few other subjects have stirred up
more discussion at the congress ses-
sions in past years.
