A STRONG PLAY

H. B. Warner in 'tAlias Jimmy VAL
entine,' plays a bank burglar who
opens safes by the mere sense of touch
in the tips of his fingers, and plies his
romantic trade in the dead Of night,
with handkerchief bound around his
eyes, the better to keep out the dis
tracing light. Jimmy has won the
approval of everybody who has seen
the play, except the police. The
comedy-drama has been the subject Of
critical praise almost to the fulsome
point. But the police
In the play, which, by the way,
comes to the Nixon on Friday Septem-
ber 80, with Mr.. Warner and the orig
inal Wallack's Theatre company.
Doyle, detective, who has for three
years followed Jimmy, to jug him for
an old bank break, witnesses said
james open a safe by touch, but as
Jimmy does this to release little
child who has wandered into the vault
and been caught, and as the little
child g sister is standing by approv-
ing Jimmy, why, Mr.. Doyle let's Jimmy
go free. And So
The inspector in charge of the de-
tective bureau in New York disap-
proved, and orders were quietly passed
out that the lieutenants, first grade
detectives and all others connected
with the bureau we're to stay away
from the play during it's engagement
at Wallack s, for the reason that it
showed an officer of the law letting a
criminal 60.
Chiefs Of police all over the country
took a most active interest in Lee
Randall, "Alias Jimmy Valentine, -
in consequence of a circular which
had been sent broadcast describing this
famous bank robber and Offering q re-
ward of $4,000 for his capture. Hun
dreds of replies have been received,
each worded as follows, and signed
by the chief to whom the notification
was sent: ~ beg to acknowledge the
receipt of your circular of recent date,
relative to Lee Randall, alias Jimmy
Valentine, and to inform you that in
quiries are being made for him.
Should any trace be obtained, you
will at once be communicated with. -
These responses have come from all
points. Liebler & Co. have received
one from gentleman signing himself
tEx. No. 2578,' which was criti-
cism concerning the costume worn by
Jimmy in the first act of .Alias
Jimmy Valentine. - This correspond
ent writes Why do you have Jimmy
Valentine and the other prisoners wear
stripesf Don't you know there are no
stripes at Sing Singi do.''
Mr.. Paul Armstrong, the author of
the work, refused to stand corrected
He explained that while the present
convict garb at Sing Sing is nifty
indeterminate gray, such as any gen.
tleman might wear, in perfect taste
three years ago the stripes were still in
vogue, and the first act of "Alias
Jimmy Valentine occurs three years
ago, as the program is careful to point
out.

Will SELECT A
SITE TOMORROW

The cash for the recent issue of
bonds for the construction of a high
school building was turned over to
Treasurer Hoenstine yesterday amount
in to $20,676. OF this sum 500, 1000 rep
resents the face Of the bonds, the re-
naming 1915 being the premium paid
by the Toledo concern which purchas-
ed the securities.
The question of a site for the build
ing will be determined at meeting
of the county board of education
which will probably be held tomorrow
evening. Although one or two sites
have been offered, they are considered
unavailable, owing to their distance
from the center of the town. For the
past two or three days r. E. Tilden
has been surveying lots /, 2, 3 and
4, block "F," Of the original town
plat of Winnemucca which lies suoth
of the public school building and on
the same side of Lay street. 1t is
considered probable that this site,
which is owned by the Morris Holman
company, will be offered to the board.

WRESTLING MATCH
BONA Eide affair

The general impression seems to be
that the Dodge -Jenshen wrestling
match, which wnl take place at the
Nixon opera house Saturday night, will
net be bona fide affair. However,
the public may rest assured that such
is not the case, for the reason that
both these men have challenged Yokel,
Utah s champion, for a matcn, and the
latter has refused to meet both Dodge
and Jenshen, but will arrange match
with the winner of Saturday night g
event. This event will determine
which is the better man of the two
and there will be no draw, as this bat
tie of the mat must be to a finish.
Dodge is at present champion wei
terweight wrestler of the Pacific
coast, while Jenshen has not as yet
been dfeated by any man OF his
class. His hardest battle was with
Charles Moran, of Pocatello, Idaho,
lasting for two and a half hours and
resulting in a draw.
Dodge is in daily training here for
the event, and Jenshen is expected to
arrive tomorrow. The mat will be
laid on the Nixon stage tomorrow. In
addition to the main event Saturday
night, two fast boxing bouts will be
put on as preliminaries.
As several of the Winnemucca ladies
have expressed desire to witness the
match, the management of the opera
house has reserved a section for their
use.
Reserved seats will be placed on. sale
at Krenkel & Bosch 3 jewelry store to-
morrow morning.

that he was "giving away" ON his
friends.
He admitted that rebates were COM
mon things before the merger. 1t was
customary, he said, to present bill
for overcharge and the railroads would
send voucher each month covering
the amount agreed upon. This rebate
ranged in the neighborhood of $50,
$3.50 and $50 a car, and in number
of instances, the papers bearing upon
which he produced in court, blanket
rebate of 30 cents per hundred was al
lowed
Asked by Attorney Smith Of the
Oregon Short Line whether that road
had figured in the rebating, the wit
ness said the eastern lines paid the re-
bates. Later in the day, when recalled
by the government, Mr.. Summerhays
produced receipts showing rebates paid
by the Union Pacific railroad.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Adams
was recalled to testify concerning rates
on intermediate points along the West
ern Pacific.
J. A. Heeves of the Oregon Short
Line occupied the stand most Of the
afternoon. He was examined particu-
larly in regard to the variation in
rates on wool and on other commodi-
ties. Taking bullion from the Salt
Lake valley smelter as an example, Mr..
Reeves admitted the rates were much
lower than on wool because of the
compactness of the Shipments; the
steady all-year- around traffic in that
class of shipments, and also because
Of water competition via Galveston
and New Orleans to New York.
O. s. L. virtuous.
Mr.. Reeves declared that the Oregon
Short Line had never resorted to re-
bates at any time in its history be-
cause it was not necessary in the ter
ritory which it serves
The hearing now on in Salt Lake is
the third of a series being held at
central points in the west. The first
was held at Chicago and the second at
Denver. Other hearings will be held
at Portland, Ore, and at Phoenix, Ari-
zona.
1t is the outgrowth of charges con
tanned in the original Salt Lake case.
IN which the Commercial Club traffic
bureau made general complaint against
rates ON all commodities, including
wool. Later, other sections fled com
plants and, fnally,s after the inter
state commerce commission had made
special issue. the National Wool
Growers association filed specific
charge. 1t is this complaint that is
now being investigated.

Mining SUIT TO BE
HEARD SATURDAY

The hearing on the application Of
the National Mines company to make
permanent the temporary injunction
issued by Judge Harrington three or
four weeks ago, restraining the de-
fendant company from extracting ores
from its mines at National, has been
set for hearing Saturday in the Fed
eral Court at Carson City.
During last night contingent Of the
Mammoth company's witnesses arrived
by auto fom National and left on No.
this morning for Carson City. In
cluded in the party were Harold Bax-
ter, superintendent and Mrs. Baxter;
w. M. Burke, foreman; George Lloyd,
the engineer in charge of the recent
survey of the surface and underground
workings of the two mines for the
Mammoth company; Frank O'Leary,
the well known National civil engineer,
and j. 7. Harrington. The attorneys
of record TO rthe Mammoth company
are Rufus g. Thayer, of San Francis
co, and Curler & Martinson, of Reno.
l.. @. Campbebll, chief counsel for
the National Mines company, will
leave for the state capital this even
ing accompanied by III. l.. Hollis and
Perry G. Harrison, engineers in the
employ of the company, and +. A.
Taylor, superintendent of the mine.
Mr.. Campbell will be assisted at the
hearing by Ex-Congressman George
A. Bartlett, associate counsel for the
company.
Contrary to the general impression,
the hearing Saturday will not deter
mine the question as to whether or not
the apex of the vein is on the Wset
Virginia claim, which is the contention
Of the National Mines company, but
will only settle the question OF ex-
tending the temporary injunction un-
til such time as the apex question can
be heard.

Change IN ROUTES
!. EFFECTIVE SUNDAY

On September Gath, which will be
next Sunday, the Pacific coast lines
will substitute for the old arrangement
La through standard and tourist service
/ to both Chicago and st. Louis, via the
Denver & Rio Grande and Chicago and
Northwestern to Chicago, and via the
and Wabash to st. Louis, with the
same well-equipped and furnished cars
heretofore operated over the Rock
Island and the Burlington.
What Caused the Break.
The controversy which caused the
break in the old established relations
the lines between Denver and Chicago
and Denver and st. Louis. For ten
years the Pacific lines have had an
agreement with the Rock Island, Bur
lington, Missouri Pacific, Santa Fe and
passenger tickets seemed to fit in
nicely with the rates in effect. The
division is said to have been equal, al
though the respective mileage of the
roads was not.
commerce commission decided that the
L
cisco to Salt Lake was altogether too
rate was reduced to $23.58, all of
which proved a big jolt for the Pacific
lines. Troubles never come singly,
'tis said, and the occasion proved the
rule Shortly after the action of the
lington stepped forward with propo-
hok ~, Lot ta1
| to this: -.
"Mr. Western Pacific and Mr..
Southern Pacific, the commission says
your rates to Salt Lake were ridicu-
lously high. Maybe the commission is
what you've been charging us in the
ticket division is also ridicul0usly
high. We want more money ourselves
now.'
This was the most unkindest cut of
all, for the s. P. and w. p, both of
| which claim the R. 1 and Burlington
are not only hoggish but decidedly
lacking in that spirit of fraternalism
which had been anticipated.
Old Connections Severed.
And SO after hemming and having
over the matter in the east, word has
connections would be severed and the
Denver & Rio Grande, Northwestern
and Wabash substituted for the two
roads abandoned.
The Missouri Pacific, Santa Fe and
Union Pacific thus far have not ex-
pressed their disapproval of their old
agreement with the Pacific lines and
so that combined service will probably
remain as it is.

games with faultless pitching. In his
three contests the Giants earned their
runs off his delivery. an average Of
one tally to the contest.
But there was glory enough for all
in the camp of the conquerors. They
proved to be as good at base stealing
as the supposedly speedier Giants who
had stolen double the number Of bases
against better catchers in their own
league; they proved to be more bril-
liant in field and far superior at the
bat. Giant pitchers alone fought an
even better fight until the final rout,
and the edge expected here to show.
And there was only one member of the
Giants outfit who outclassed his COM
peiitor. This man was Chief Meyers,
the Indian catcher who, with Bender,
more than upheld the glory Of the ma
tive American. Meyers did much bet
ter work than either Thomas or Lapp,
catching as we'll and out-batting both
two TO one.

close of the series stated that the

lost not the better club. but the best
club, for the Mackmen today stand ur-
paragoned "All alone, all alone; no.
body here but me" is now the war cry
of their camp.
Had Backed on MatheWsOn.
Many picked the Giants to win this
series, not believing them a better
team but through faith in Mathew
sons individual prowess and the be-
lief that Marquard would furnish
some aid. Mathewson carried through
his part of the dope, by holding the
slugging champions to one earned
run in the first eighteen innings he
worked against them.
But Mathewson had only Doyle and
Meyers to help him through, as the
rest of the Giant caste failed miser-
ably. Thirteen hits and thirteen runs
killed the argument.
The close Of the series finds Frank
Baker the greatest star of the clash.
He led both teams at bat with .37S,
won three of four games, drove out
nine hits for eighteen bases, and
scored or drove in eleven runs. Next
to Baker ranks Chief Bender beneath
the spot light. The red man gave
Mathewson a rugged battle in his
first start and then won his next two
