ARRESTED FOR GAMBLING
Four ocean to Ocean" Tourists,
That Recently Visited Eureka,
Captured in Raid

Elko, Nevada. July 29.-Four mem
bers of the "ocean to ocean" automo
bile party of Eastern people, which ar
rived here yesterday and stopped for
the night, were arrested at midnight on
a raid headed by Sheriff ]. G. Harris
on the gambling rooms in the Com
mercial hotel. The "ocean to ocean"
party consists OF AZ men. women and
children. travelling in l3 cars. There
are said to be seven millionaires among
them, and all the adults are prominent
in New York and Philadelphia society.
Nine arrests were made. including
Jack Mayer, the roulette operator; T;
George Foreger, faro dealer; NJ. John
son, lookout, aud two Chinese, besides
the Eisterners, who gave the names OF
r. ]. Borman, Frank Maloney, George
Monroe and Walter Smith. All these
names are known to be fictitious, from
the fact that none of them appear on
the hotel register.
All the defendants were to-day taken
before Justice of the Peace Klatte, who
upon motion continued the cases until
next Wednesday, placing each de-
fendant under bonds OF $3.50. which
were furnished by l.. l.. Bradley, pro.
prietor of the hotel. The four visitors
then left with their party, expecting TO
reach Eureka tonight. Before depart
ing one Of them said that he understood
ga bling games were wide open In
Nevada, aud when told that tables
were running in a back room he had
no idea that it was in defiance OF the
law.
Sheriff Harris. who had been absent
from Elko for several days. returned on
Thursday. and learning that gambling
was in progress determined upon the
raid. which was made last night. the
officers being unaware that the Eastern
people we're in the place. As gam
bling and the conducting OF gambling
games were made felonies by legisla.
tive enactment in 1909. the affair has
created a sensation, and promises to
result in o big legal battle. District
Attorney Dysart announces his inten'
ton of prosecuting the cases to hnisn.
while Bradley will do everything
possible In defense of the accused men

STATE SCHOOL MONEY
Superintendent Bray Makes His
Second Semi-Annual Appor-
tionment to the Counties

State Superintendent Bray, in dis
cussing the apportionment of State
school money. says:
The total amount of money appor.
toned in July, this year, is $11. 1894 s5
less than in July. 1910. In consequences,
nearly all the counties got less this
year than last. though few get slightly
more, owing to the new method of ap-
portionment.
There are now 1894 school censns
children. as against l2, ,31l in July, 1910.
q slight gain. Four counties show
losses IN the number OF census children
as follows: Washoe, 223; Storey, "a;
Eureka. II. and Esmeralda. 1913. All
the others show gains. except Douglas,
which remains stationary.
In the State as whole we have every
reason to expect steady increase year.
ly in the number Of census children as
Nevada becomes more an agricultural
State, and since the mining interests
are reasonably certain to continue pros.
porous for many years to come. This
means more schools. more teachers, and
greater necessary outlay for school
purposes.
The income from State school funds
is not likely to be materially increased.
In fact, unless we can get much better
investment it is certain to decrease, as
the interest bearing debt of the school
lands sold is being gradually paid up.
More and more the schools must de-
pend on direct taxation, State, county
and district. A larger State tax for
school purposes will move more equit-
able, located mainly in less than half
the counties OF the State. and will thus
contribute directly to the support of all
the schools.
To the School Officers of Nevada:
Following is statement of the
second semi-annual appropriation Of
State school moneys for 1911, on the
basis of STA 1886 per teacher, and
81. .34S57 per census child; 20 per cent
of entire amount apportioned to
teachers, and 80 per cent to census
children. Oue teacher to every &c
census children or fraction thereof in
the several districts OF the State.

Excellent Suggestion OF Clerical

Every now and then some proph-
et arisen out of the far west or up

ity, comes to New York and tells the
people how to cure the evil with
which this city has been wrestling
or some time now--to-wit, how to
save women from treading the down
ward path The latest savior is a
clerical male person from Seattle,
and dish washing is the panacea he
prescribes Put girls to dishwashine
in their early youth, he says, and
they will be fitted with an oceupatioa

acters, fill their souls with JOY and
arm them against any desire 10 de
