Schedules.

Railroads In general throughout the
storm region have Strengthened out
their time schedules and in most cases
the trains are running practically on
time. The rise in the mercury aided
In clearing the tracks of four inches
of snow.
In southwestern Missouri where the
snowfall In some cases was 10 inches
or more, traffic was demoralized, but
a semblance of order has been re-
stored. At Springfield. whore 20
inches of snow fell, street car traffic
was tied up and many trains Of the
St Louis a. San Francisco railroad
were delayed several hours.
In western Kansas and eastern COL
GRADE three feet of snow fell. The
local weather bureau projected drop

an address today before the Ohio con-

Roosevelt chose as his subject, "A

OF what he termed big Business"
Colonel Roosevelt had this to say:
THE antitrust law does good In so
far as IL can be invoked against COM
binations which really are monopoles
or which restrict production or which
artificially raise prices But In so far
as its workings are uncertain or as 1t
threatens corporations which have not

does harm. There should be a. fixed
governmental policy which shall de-
fine and punish wrong doing and give
in advance full information to any
man as to just what he can and just
what he cannot do legally and prop
erly."
AS to the fitness of the American
people for government Colonel
Roosevelt said:
MANY eminent lawyers believe that
the American people are not fitted for
self government and that II Is neces-
sary to keep the judiciary 'independ-

A DECREASE
IN DIVORCES

Advices received in Tonopah to-
dav from Reno state that there is a
falling off i'll the divorce industry IN
that city. OF late there has been
very few arrivals from the east who
are intent on severing unpleasant
marital ties. and that the regular
holiday rush, as has been observed
in past years, is not in evidence.
The decrease in divorce seekers is
believed to be caused by the reports
that the incoming legislature would
take decisive stand on the ques-
ton and require a years residence

timony as to the grounds upon which

as to the Escape

The recent closed-door investiga
ton of the escape of Skinner from,
the penitentiary is the source OF
much comment and many questions
are asked concerning it.
Probably the fact that it was
secret affair has a great deal to do
with the interest being taken in the
matter. In looking over the propo
sition and summing ii ur there Is
really nothing to ii in particular and
why ii should have been such d sec
ret affair is hard to determine The

OuS III the matter
1t simply amounts 10 general ques-
tioning OF the guards and other en-
ployes concerning the escape and
from their testimony little is gained,
beyond the fact that possibly the dis
ciplne has not been as strict as
would apparently be necessary in an
in> titution OF that kind. the prisoners
allowed considerable liberty and the
guards triHe careless.
Nothing extraordinary or ~ensa-
tional is gained by reading the te,t~
mony and it concerns the escape OF
Skinner alone, not going INTO other
phases OF the management OF the
prison. There is really not much

his views of the matter, said that it

ASSOCIATION
IN SESSION
Attorneys From Over
State are Present

Members OF the bar from all parts
OF Nevada, two of the justices of the
supreme court and four district
Judges were in attendance Yesterday
morning on the regular meeting OF
the Nevada Bar association at til"
courthouse in Reno, and heard sew
eral interesting addresses.
The opening address OF Hugh
Brown was devoted mainly to ci-
tation OF examples which he consid-
cred fair cases of improper criticism
OF the courts. He condemned GER
tain utterances of both former Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the present
mayor OF New York. William Gay
nor, himself a former Judge. The
speaker also held up to caustic criti-
cism certain magazine articles con-
corning alleged corruption among
judges, which appeared recently III
magazine form. Mr.. Brown. while
admitting temperate criticism to be
helpful, stated there should be some
movement to check the volume OF
abuse characterized by neither acct
racy nor fairness, which now in
flames the public mind.
The address OF Samuel Platt, was
a serious discussion of the duties OF
the lawyer in and out of public life.
He defended the average integrity
OF the bar contrastcd with other
professions or callngs, but admitted
that there was work to be done to
maintain the high standing OF the
legal profession in the history OF
this country.
Today the lawyers held a business
session at which resolutions were
proposed and reports of cimmittees
heard. This evening there will be a
banquet for members.

doubt about it being success.
The finances will at first At least
be provided by donations from any

The same thing has been in vogue
in Colorado for ten years and has
proven success from every poin-
OF view. Thousands of dollars arc
now in the fund and it is constantly
growing and since the inauguration
of the plan two hundred and twelve
deserving young ladies have been

Already two young ladies OF this
