PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION
OF TRUST METHODS

Manager Goodfriend, Of the But
Ter, is having an illustration Of
trust methods these days. He has
been announcing pictures of the
Nelson-Moran fight, to be pre-
sented Thursday night. 1t now ap-
pears that it is an independent con-
cern that produced the fight pic
lures, and as the local house is
bound by an agreement with the
moving picture trust, which prohib-
ITS its patrons from patronizing con-
Germs outside its control, the pic
lures may not be offered here after
all. Manager Goodfriend is in tele-
graphic touch with the trust peo-
pie trying to get their consent to
presenting the pictures.

MEXICALLA, Mex, Jan. 3O.-
The victorious rebel hand which
has taken possession of this town
in Lower California. just across
the border, is apprehensive that an
expedition may be organized on
the American side to dispute the
control of the place with them.
On the point of a gun a mes
sage was handed across the line
to Sheriff Meadows of Imperial
county, CAL, warning him that any
attempt to rescue any Of the rebels
and prisoners would be a VIOLA
tion of neutrality, as the insur-
gents are not a mob but are fight
ing for principle.
The insurgents have left the
town now and are camped near
Packard station, on the Inter-Cali-
fornia railroad.

old PIONEER
PASSES AWAY
THIS MORNING
f. p. VAN PATTEN CROSSES THE
DIVIDE EARLY THIS
MORNING.

Another of the old pioneers of
the state, another Of those whose
whole life was associated with the
upbuilding and development of the
commonwealth, died at ALB this
morning, at his home in this city,
in the person of F. p. Van Patten.
He was born in 1885, and conse-
quently was in the 77th year of
his age.
The announcement of his death
came as an entire surprise to his
hosts of friends in the community.
He had been sick only four days,
having been brought from the Tom
opah Mining company the other
day. He was suffering from
complication of stomach and kidney
troubles, coupled with old age, but
a fatal termination was unlocked
for by his family. But his condi-
tion proved to be more serious than
was realized, and the call of his
Maker was not to, be denied.
The deceased came to the state
in 1868, settling in Austin, and
later married Miss Mary Geering
of Alpine, Churchill county. He
was sheriff of Lander county for
two terms-from 1884 to 1888
and also served several years as
deputy United States marshal. He
made a splendid record as an of
ficer.
He leaves behind him to mourn
his loss, beside the sorrowing wi
dow, eleven children. Five of these
IA daughter Amerlia, and four
sons, William. Calvin, Clyde and
Robin, are living here. Another
daughter, Mrs. George Muncy. is a
resident Of Sparks; still another,
Mrs. Frank Triplett, is at Austin;
and another, Mrs. Fred Mcmahon,
is a resident of Little Shasta, CAL,
while fourth, Mrs. A. ]. Mackay,
is living at Hanford, Cal. Two
sons reside outside of Tonopah-
Frank A., living at Moscow, Utah,
and George V. p, at Plush, Ore.
The deceased had been a resident
of Tonopah for about eight years,
and latterly was employed as watch
man and dry-man at the Tonopah
Mining company. He was known by
almost the entire community, and
all boasted his friendship. He pos
sessed the esteem of all whom he
met.
During his long residence in the
state the deceased was Identified
with every public project; was al
ways progressive and enterprising,
and in every respect model citi-
zen. He is one Of those of whom
it may be truly said the world is
the better for having lived in it..
No arrangements will be made
for the funeral until the absent
children are heard from. The date
will, however, be determined by
night and will be announced in to-
morrow's Bonanza.
A singular coincidence in con-
nection with the death of Mr.. Van
Patten is that his sister, Mrs. w.
W. Bissell, living at New Rochelle,
N. r., died just eighteen hours be-
fore her brother here in Tonopah.
The sister was "a years of age
at her demise.

In compliance with the instruct
tions the chief of police notified the
several places in town where slot
machines were in operation that
they must be put out of business,
under penalty Of arrest. There
were, however, but three OF them
in town.
The owners of these machines,
however, we're not wilfully vioIat
ting the law They simply took
the opinion Of the attorney-genera
last December, that the law did not
prohibit their use where no money
consideration was involved, as per-
hitting them to use the machines
with this restriction.
The encouragement, it will be
remembered, said IL checks OF the
slot machine we're redeemable in
there was no violation
Of the law.
District Attorney Sanders takes
issue with this opinion, and in
structs the police to bar all slot
machines until the new attorney
general passes upon the question.
The opinion among local business
men, however, is that any action
Of this sort could have been wen
postponed until the new attorney
general was heard from. The slot

TAFT IS HANDS OFF
TuRC0-ITALIAM WAR
AN INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT
PRINTED IN PARIS PAPER.
President Declares He Wishes From Bot
tom Of His Heart to See Wal IN
Tripoi Ended.

Paris.-The Matin publishes what pun
ports to be an interview with President
Taft, written by Francois de Tesan. The
writer quotes the president on such
questions as intervention in the Turco-
Italian war, on Americas attitude IN re-
gard to China, on the situation in Mex
leo and on the general subject of arbitra-
ton.
When asked about the possibility OF
American mediation in the Turco-ltatiau
war, the writer says that President TAFT
declared that the United States was GER
tainly disposed i'll favor of the re-estab-
iishment of peace. Nevertheless, he felt
that it would be unwise to depart from
the path of wisdom.
Our relations with the two bellioer-
ents are equally friendly. We do not wish
to offel1 the national dignity OF either.
Moreover, the Turco-Italian war concerns
primarily the European concert. There
is, therefore, the question OF tact for the
United States not to put herself forward
to bring to an end a conflict which, how
ever, from the bottom of her heart, she
desires to see ended. 1t is evident that If
the European powers were in accord to
ask for our mediation we should be happy
to work in favor of peace. We have
wished to avoid anything that might
lead to a misinterpretation of our action.
That is the reason why up to now we
lave adopted an impartial and impassirs
attitude.

MISSISSIPPI HAS fine SHOW
A GREAT EXHIBIT is BEING MADE
AT CHICAGO.
Display Is Attracting Much Attention
and Will Result in Many Settlers
Coming to State.

misunderstanding to d letter from
Secretary j.. E. Davis, of the Mississippi
Land Development Association, who has
charge of the Mississippi booth at the
and Show, now being held in Chicago,
the Mississippi exhibit is attracting a
large number of people and the men in
charge of the booth are daily giving
away hundreds of advertising booklets
about the resources of this state.
Since the opening OF the land show
writes Mr.. Davis, the crowds that daily
visit the show are enormous, and the
officials of the land show predict that
this year they will have the largest at
tendance they have ever had since the
starting OF this annual exhibition.
For nearly three months previous
to the opening of the land show l, ac-
c%ompanied by Mr.. A. b. Afford, of Gulf
port, toured the whole state and visited
all the fairs, large planters, commercial
organizations and business men of the
state, who gave me and the association
all of the assistance possible.
The result was that Mississippi, at
the opening day of the exposition, had
rs fine an exhibit as any OF the states
represented. This fact alone goes to
show that our state, if she spends the
energy and time and gets new blood
from the Northern and Western states,
will in a few years equal all of her SIS
ter states in production of agricultural
products.
November % was Mississippi Day and
during the whole day thousands OF peo-
pie from all parts of the country attend
ed the large lecture halls and listened to
speeches on the resources, both CONNER
eial and agricultural, of Mississippi,
which were delivered by some of The
largest planters in the state AID profes'
sors from the state agricultural colleges
This day marked a new epoch in the
industry of Mississippi, for it is the first
time in its history that it has been ad
yertised outside it's own borders with as
great an exhibit as she has at this ex
