SAN FRANCISCO. April 26.--Bet-
ting and fake training camp reports
are going to put boxing on the blink,
on the Pacific coast. IL the promoters
don't get together and resolve TO take
the public into their confidence instead
OF trying to hoodwink IT,
Recent bad decisions, the fact that
a ring OF gamblers-among them said
TO be q former member of the notori-
Gus Maybray gang-has made big
cleanups on sure-thing bets, mislead-
ing reports from training camps. anu
a general inclination TO nurse the COM
mission that the poolrooms take out
OF all wagers. are beginning TO arouse
followers of the game
The Hogan-Murphy decision. the At
tell case and tie Kraus-Petroskey
fight are glaring instances that point
&c the necessity, in the west, OF regula
tons that will protect the public
| against being "bunked" and bettors
from being "bilked."
The Klaus-Petroskey case is glar-
ing instance of how the innocent bet
/ tors money Is frequently Jeopardized
I by lying statements issued at training
| camps. A few days before that fight
| in San Francisco, an expert on condi-
/
| tion-a man well known 10 the fight
ing game-was specially deputized by
the San Francisco Daily News to visit
the Petroskey camp and make care
| full study OF Petroskey's condition. The
moment he set eyes on the Sailor he
was impressed with the fact that there
was something wrong with him. The
Daily News informed its readers that
petrOskev was not right and repeated
the statement every day up TO the
date OF the contest. This brought
from Mcclure, Petroskey's manager, a
vigorous denial.

assumed force. is in great shape. He

don't print 1t. Unfortunately for pro-
moters, boxers and trainers who do
not hew to the line, the truth will al
ways be printed every time it can be
dug out OF the misty surroundings OF
some matches.
Mcclure. probably in an effort TO
make Petroskey's showing against
Klaus more creditable, admitted tho
daily News. when he gave out the fol-
lowing interview
Five days prior to the fight be-
tween Petroskey and Klaus, Petroskey
was taken with fever and touch OF
la grippe. not known TO anyone but
himself and me. We thought he would
overcome the attack before the con-
test, but he was sick man when he
entered the ring l protested against
MIN engaging in the battle, but he. not
wishing TO disappoint the public. en-
tered against my wishes"
That seems to dispose pretty well
of that end Of the case.
The report came out OF Klaus camp
prior TO the fight, that the Pittsburgh
er's sore hand had mended completely
and that he couldn't use II with al
his force. Because OF his failure tc
stop Petroskey, Klaus immediately
after the fight, explained that he coulc
not land knockout because his hand
had not healed. II is such raw work
as this that Is casting discredit on the
game.
But the greatest danger lies In the
betting. Recently a certain referee
was turned down after having beer
chosen and another man selected, be
cause the gamblers didn't like him.
This statement Is based on the au
thority OF two men who were vitality
interested In the contest In question
Shelve the betting and the bunk
and boxing will live. Otherwise, there
will be big blow-off some day and
then the boxers will have to go tc
work.

% AUTOMOBILE NEWS AND COMMENT 81
sTUDEBAEER SAYS THAT
AMERICA HAS BEST LABOR
Ridicules the Idea That Europe
Is Able To Keep It's
Best Workmen

Clement Studebaker. Jr., yice-pres-
ident OF The Studebaker Corporation,
was plainly amused the other day
when o friend remarked that the
quality OF labor gathered in Ameri-
can automobile factories could never
compare with that available in sim.
Z liar enterprises, located in Europe.
That idea has been current 50
many years that | suppose II has
come TO be sort of fetish, said Mr..
Stakeholder. "As matter OF sober
fact, though. American automobile
factories can boast with perfect JUS
tee, high grade OF European labor
than the European factories them
selves.
"The growth OF the American au-
tomobile industry has proven a boon
for the European mechanic. II has
enabled him to emigrate with a GER
tainty of work at once at more than
double his old wages. The pick of
the foreign labor is now in America,
as a result
''Of course, this element Is really
OF minor Importance in our factories.
America has developed its own style
OF automobile making. and far SUI
perior style II is. As a matter OF
fact, American methods of machine
manufacture are far more accurate
than the most pninstaking sort OF
hand work. The machine cannot
make mistake; each OF It's move
ments Is limited to very definite
range; each operation is a perfect
repetition OF the one that has taken
place In the corresponding cycle be-

CADILLAC HAS SCHOOL
FOR ITS MECHANICS

The motor car manufacturing bust
ness has grown with such leaps and
bounds that makers frequently find
themselves handicapped because OF
lack OF men available to take respon-
sible and we'll paying positions. This
condition is due largely TO the fact
that there has not been sufficient op-
portunity for young men to acquire
the practical and technical knowledge
necessary in this young industry.
Some time ago Mr.. Henry M. Le-
land. Of the Cadillac Motor Car Co.,
after much consideration and plan.
ming. determined to meet the situa.
ton and established school OF ap-
piled mechanics to be conducted in
connection with the Cadillac plant.
The principal object is to train UP
young men In accordance with the
Cadillac ideals in order to have men
available when openings are pre-
sented
A specially equipped training de-
partment is provided with every need
ed facility. The students in the school
are under the direction OF several ex.
pert mechanical engineers who have
had the technical training and prac-
tical experience. These engineers de
vote their entire time 10 instructing
the students in the correct use OF
tools and ways and means for pro-
ducing the highest grade of work.
The time required to complete the
course Is two years and during that
time instruction is given in most
branches OF automobile manufactur-
Ing. Students are paid from IA to II
cents per hour and are given a bonus
OF 800 upon a satisfactory compile
tion OF the two years course.
Young men OF Is years, or older.
are taken and must abstain from the
nse OF cigarettes and lntoxicants. The
training r. an excellent one for young
men who want to pave the way 10 be
come craftsmen, tool designers, fore
men, or mechanical engineers.

AUTO BEATS TRAIN.

Mr.. and Mrs. Vogel who left Los
Angeles, Sunday morning, on
transeontinental automobile trip to
Halifax, arrived in Ely, Tuesday
evening, beating by one hour the
mail train bringing the Sunday Ex-
aminer which announced their de-
parture from Los Angeles. The
Vogels are travelling in a 6-cylinder
Pope Hartford car. and the run from
Los Angeles to Ely was a record
breaker. made possible by the i'm
proved conditions of the roads in the
state, and the cutoff between Tono-
pah and Ely, which shortens the dis
tance 40 miles, over rhe old road.
According to Mr.. Vogel the new
transeontinental auto route through
Goldfield, Tonopah, and Ely to Salt
Lake, is preferable to the route
through Arizona, and his advice to
auto tourists Is to come this way.
He was enthusiastic over the trip
and the fine condition OF the roads.
On Wednesday, r. G. Wells, the
Examiner correspondent of San
Bernardino, Cal, arrived in Ely, ac-
companied by his family. He also
had nothing but good reports as to
the condition OF Nevada roads, that
make fast time a safe possibility. He
stated that six cars were on the road
between Los Angeles and Ely.

MET MANY FORMER ELYITES.

City Attorney G. F. Boreman, who
returned this week from California,
reports that he met number of for
mer we'll known residents of the Ely
district, while on his visit to the
coast. Enumerated in the list are
the three Pheby brothers, at present
engaged in copper share speculation
and pulling down good money; ]. H.
McMurray, engaged in mining near
Frisco, and reported doing nicely;
Andy Fesler and family, residents of
Oakland where Andy Is on the road
installing patent oil burners, with
good financial results; Stanley
(Trot) Allen and wife, located in
San Francisco, Trot having a posi-
ton at the ball park; w. T. Binford.

now promoting a big land deal near
Fresno, and accomplishing results;
and finally, A. H. Whiteley, former
ly with the Giroux, and Miss McEw-
ing, former assistant postmaster at
Kimberly, were discovered holding
hands as they meandered down a
San Francisco thoroughfare.
Further down the state, Mr.. Bore
man found John (Jimmy) Haley,
former editor and manager of the
Ely Expositor, now installed as as
sistant editor of the Union, while
Frank Woodmansee, the tonsorial
artist, is also holding down a posi-
ton in that city, and George New
comb is there looking for a good
business opening.

VAUGHN HELD FOR SENTENCE.

l.. G. Vaughn of McGill. arrested
July Fourth, was given a hearing
yesterday in Justice Cartwright's
court and pleaded guilty to the
charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons. Sentence was deferred until to-
morrow
Vaughn who had been drinking
some, was arrested in Ely, Thurs
day afternoon, as the result of pull
ing a 32 automatic revolver in the
Oaks saloon, on Aultman street, and
using the weapon in a threatening
manner and making threatening re-
marks. When the revolver was TAX
en- from him he objected and siren
uously resisted arrest, five men be-
ing required to land him in the jail.
After being taken out of the sa-
loon, he succeeded Unexpectedly in
landing a back handed blow upon
the officer, with such effect that the
prisoner was enabled to make a
break for liberty. He ran a short
distance up Aultman street, where he
fell off the sidewalk and struck his
nose on the curbing, causing a pro-
fuse hemorrhage. In the excitement
report gained circulation that the
officers had beaten Vaughn in an un-
reasonable manner. and big crowd
of sympathizers followed officers and
their prisoner to the Jail. Vaughn
continued his struggles in a manner
that made 1t difficult to handle him
and frequently called on the crowd
to assist him.
Arriving at the jail Vaughn was
searched and was found to be some
what of a walking arsenal, as he had
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1912-07-07

something like one hundred rounds
of cartridges on his person.
After the prisoner was locked up
Sheriff Grain addressed the crowd
from the court house steps, display
ed the loaded revolver and explained
the true condition of things. After
that the gathering dispersed. All
offers who took part in getting
Vaughn to the jail, got more or less
blood upon themselves, from the blow
the prisoner had received when he
fell off the sidewalk. Vaughn Is a
muscular man, and in his crazed con-
dition and the fight he put up made
it a difficult proposition for the Of
ficers, who succeeded in accomplish
ing his arrest.
The claim that Vaughn had been
beaten up was not borne out at the
hearing yesterday, as he showed no
marks of that nature, about his face
or head.
1t is not pleasant to contemplate
what the results might have been
had he cut lose with his revolver, in
his irresponsible condition, in Thurs
days crowd The chances are that
some one would have been killed,
innocent victims of circumstances.
There were hundreds of women and
children on Aultman street at the
time, and had the automatic got
started, eomeone would have suf-
fered.

FIRE AT McGILL.

A fire that broke out in one of
the Greek bunk houses, at McGill,
Friday afternoon, destroyed three
lodging houses, and for a time
threatened a portion of lower
townsite. The alarm was sounded
at l O'Clock, and the McGill fire
fighting apparatus was quickly at
work, but in the early stages of the
fire there was a low water pressure,
and famed by a brisk wind the
flames made headway despite the eff
forts of the firemen.
There were plenty of volunteers
to assist in checking the fire, num-
ber of men coming from the coneen-
traitor, with one of the mill hose
reels.
The water pressure increased, and
this with a fortunate shift of the
wind, about half-past one, enabled
the fire to be stopped at Park
avenue. One incident of the fighting
the flames scene, was when about
one hundred men carried a building
bodily, out of the danger zone.
The Greeks occupying the build
ings met with serious losses in
money and personal belongings,
some of the money losses being re-
ported in large sums. There was
great excitement amongst the Greek
and Austrian inhabitants during the
fire. and one Greek, went into spasms
when his savings, said to be in the
vicinity of several hundred dollars,
were lost In the fire. The work of
replacing the buildings was COM
menced at once, In charge OF head

Harry Louckas Of McGi|I
Held On Serious CHARGE

Charged with bringing Madrid Ell
wood, of Salt Lake City, into the Ely
district for employment in a house
of prostitution. Harry Louckas of
MeGill was arrested last night and
in Justice Cartwright's
court. As a result of the evidence
Justice Cartwright found
sufficient cause to hold the respond
ent and bail was fixed in the sum of
$4,000 for a hearing in the case,
which is set for tomorrow afternoon
at 200 o'clock. Louekas was un-
able to furnish the required bond,
and is confined in the Jail at Ely
pending the hearing.
Louckas came in from Salt Lake
yesterday and was recognized in
company with Madrid Elwood and
another girl, on the Nevada North
ern passenger train between Cobre

Word was telegraphed to McGill
concerning the suspicious against
Louekas, and upon arrival at McGill
of the train connecting at McGill

Junction with the train from Cobre,
Officers Newman and Holmes we're
at the station and kept watch of
Louckas' movements. He was seen
to leave the train with the two girls,
and accompany them to the Greek
Rag Dump" where he was ar
rested.
Louekas was taken to Ely on the
evening train. and the two girls also
detained and brought along as wit
nesses. 1t is alleged that the Ell
wood girl mentioned in the charge
against Louckas, is under age, and
that he bought and paid for her rail-
road ticket from Salt Lake City to
McGill.
Louckas is we'll known in McGill,
where he formerly conducted bar
ber shop in the Greek quarters. Re-
Gently is is alleged he has been as
sociated in the management of a sa-
loon and dance hall business at the
