FAVORABLE
At ELY
Big Works to Start
This Week

! The following from the Expositor
tells of the conditions at Ely, which
seem to be encouraging for early re
| sumption of work:
Ore will be moving from the Cop
per Flat pit tomorrow according to
unofficial reports from the mines this
afternoon. 1t is understood that sew
eral steam shovels will be fired up
in the morning and it is probable the
sight of a trainlOad of ore on its way
to McGill will be one Of the incidents
of tomorrow.
Trains of empty cars began going
up the hill on the high line early
this morning and loaded trains are
expected to be coming down III an
other day or two as it IS expected
operations will be resumed at the
At McGlll more men are reported to
hae gone to work this morning and
big crews of repairmen have been set
to work in the converter. Advices
say more men applied for work this
morning than could be put on until
the mill is ready to be operated
Besides the force put in the mill
many more men have gone to work
in the sme1ter end The carpenters
are reported to have all returned to
work and the electricians and pipe
filters are busy as though nothing
out of the ordinary had happened for
months. Some Of the machinists are
also at work, according to statements
of members of that craft.
Since the strike was declared at
the mines all the saloons near them
have been closed and the sale of in
toXicating liquors has been forbid
den. Recently some parties have
been found doing little "boot-leg-
ging" but the authorities are on the
trail Of them and steps will be taken
to put stop to the practice. Severe
punishment, is in store for any per
soon found guilty of illegally selling
liquor around the mines while the
order prohibiting it is in effect.
Many of the foreigners in the dis
trict have been disarmed and the ord
er against carry arms will be en-
forced against everybody except such
as have the right to do so under per-
NIT from the superintendent of the
state police.
The total number OF men working
at the pits is about 200 but nearly 500
are believed to be back on their Jobs
at McGi1l, according to the best in
formation obtainable this afternoon
The company plans to put on addi
tional men just as fast as applications
for work are made and places can be
found for an increased force

APPLAUSE
FOR N 'CARRAN

Last night when Mr. Fowler in his
address mentioned the name of P. A.
NrCarran, the Democratic NOMINEE
icI Supreme Judge, it brought forth
some lively applause. The mention
OF the nominees name was sufficient
to warrant the demonstration. The
old gag of non-partisan Judiciary is
bosh, as Bartlett has posed as a
Democrat for years. The only rea.

NOSEy WILSON
IS CAPTURED

Word was received in this city to-
day from Captain Donnelly that
Nosey Wilson. the escaped convict
ha, been captured at Vancouver. and
is being held awaiting the arrival of
a Nevada officer to return him to the
prison.
The escape of Wilson was most
peculiar. Wilson was terribly dis
figured. having lost the largest por-
ton OF his nose and other facial dis
hgurmentS. 1t seemed impos 9ible
that any man could MAKE his &c,
away who was in such condition.
vet he managed to elude the officers
for nearly two years.
Since he escaped descriptions have
been sent broadcast. His Bcrtillon
was in every police department and
for some time it has been limited that
the police could put their hands on
the con. Wilson is also dope tIcnd
along with his other ailments, and
just how he MANAGED to side step the
police for the time will be an in
tere sting problem TO be ans wcrcd OF
his return to Nevada. He is to be
brought back within a short time and
can talk it over with the others who
have lately been returned to the
prison.

MASSEY
AND HIS
RECORD
EvidenceOnCOmmerc
Court Vote

Senator Massey, either through ig-
norance or design. is pervertlng the
record in an effort to explain his vOt-
ing to retain the Commerce Court.
Senator Massey and those Of his
friends who are assisting him in his
campaign, are stating publicly that
Mr.. Massey voted against the apprO~
priation bill because it contained two
riders, one ahollishin@ the Commerce
Court and the other throwing civil
service employees out OF their posi-
tionS at the end OF seven years. This
was on August 10Th and what Senator
Massey says in regard to this is I'D
doubtcdly true. but why does he evade
the vote OF two day, later alter the
rider regarding the civil service en-
ploycs had been removed from the
bill and the only rider was the aboli-
ton of the Commerce Court? Why
Because Senator Massey voted to
sustain TAFT and retain the Commerce
Court and there was nothing in the
bill at all about removal Of civil ser
vice employees
Let Senator Massey explain his
vote on August 2lst, not his vote on
August 10Th, for that is not being di,
putcd at all. It is his stand-pattiSm
OF August 2lst that is being produce
ed from the records.
On this date President Taft vetoed
the Appropriation bill because in
Section 9 it abolished the Commerce
Court. something the people of Ne
vada were praying for daily. The
civil service rider had already been
removed and the only Objectional fea-
ture remaining in the bill was plainly
stated by President Taft to be the
Commerce Court abolishment.
It was on this that Massey deserted
the State OF Nevada and cast his lot
with the administration forces, the
Stand-pattcrS. the interests. the
Cranes, Smoots, Guggenheims. Roots
and other reactonaries Let Senator
Massey stop this palpablc attempt to
mi,lead the people of Nevada and
either deny or admit the truth of his
vote Of August 21st as found upon
page 12,407 Of the COngre sional Rec
ord.

Upon being introduced MIR. Pitt
man Immediately took up his dis
course, He first explained Il few To-
cal matters The story that had gol'c
out as TO mud-Slinging was most
completely refuted. In the entire
tall; of last evening when Mr.. Pitt
man referred to Mr. Massey it wa, as
matter OF public life, which i pub
lie property. No mention oi private
lie was even hintcd at. The Re
puhlicans present all announced that

in this city.
He took up the question of tn"
wool tariff He paid his respects to
the morning paper III no mistaken
terms for trying to distort the facts.
The story published in the News of
few days ago stating that the con
sumer was only forced to pay few
cent. additional on WOODEN goods was
so completely torn to pieces that it
made a hit
Mr.. Pittman showed how it was
possible for a purchaser to cross
from Seattle to the Canadian slide and
buy an american made suit OF clothes
for one-half the price charged on the
American side Other wool clothing
and necessities RANGED in the same
manner, A. pair of boots made in
Butte City. Montana, and selling
there for S., sould be purchased IN
Vancouver, just across the line, for
So. The identical same boots and
made by the same man in Butte, all
on account Of the tariff.
He explained how the tariff did
not protect the wool grower, but the
wool trust and the great manufac~
turers who have made millions from
This robbery TIc also showed where
the employees OF these great trusts
were the poorest paid laborcrs in the
United States. He also showed by
record where Senator Massey failed
to vote To reduce this cost price to
the people. 1t was a clever and eol,'
vincing argument.
The Carson News of yesterday, in
connection with other Republican pa
pcrs, published a statement that Sem
ator Massey had votocd to sustain
the Presidents veto onthc Commerce
Court because the bill contained a
paragraph abolishing the civil service
to certain extent. Mr.. Pittman,

Perhaps the only error about this
is the statement that the few flies
that do remain can not be regarded
as a pest Even few flies are a
pest; even single one is a po-
tential pest, because of its amazing
productivity But when, by clean
Illness, they have been so reduced
in number it is Infinitely easier to
dispose of those that remain.
Every city should be rendered as
free from flies as those happy Ba-
varian, towns One effective way
to do it was pointed out by an edi-
torial in The Georgian just a few
weeks ago. Begin the fight with

ATLANTA'S GARBAGE QUESTION

want to pay too much What did
the Montgomery plant cost? How
does the price given Atlanta com
pare with the cost of that plant as
to the relative difference in power
capacity? These are business ques-
tons that concern Atlanta. The
people expect the tax committee 10
look into the matter and act as II
would in matters concerning their
own private interests. This com
mittee and council owe direct re-
sponsibility to the people.
The board of health, though
made up of most estimable gentle
men, is elected by the city council,
and therefore responsible to the
people through the city council
The question of purchase should
rest with the officials who are
elected to care for the tax money
of Atlanta.

posed should be accepted to all par

WANTS INVESTIGATION.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
Sir-It occurs to me as a citizen
that the press of Atlanta is editor
tally neglecting a most serious OBJ
legation that is due the people in
allowing the discussion concerning
the building of an incinerating
plant to proceed without making
thorough investigation of the re-
spective claims of parties at inter
est, and should it appear consistent
to do so. inform the people with
exhaustive and courageous expos
ure of what interested claimants
may attempt to foist on the tax
payers of Atlanta.
TO the point: There are two CON
Germs seeking a contract with the
city TO destroy her garbage, the
New York Destructor Company,
with an elastic proposition Of
$4,000 to SAL 900 according to
speculative estimates as to what
uses the plant may be put to in the
future. and the Forsythe Garbage
Incinerator Company. whose pro-
posal is fifty 'or sixty thousand dol
lars. based on simple and practi-
cal plan of destroying garbage.

unattainable power benefits that
are securely wrapped in contracts

Thomas Jefferson carried no ex-
cess baggage He was feet 10 and
weighed $50 pounds. He used all
the body he had.
He rode horseback until his
eightieth year Two particular
horses that he owned and loved
have come down to US in history
One is Wildare and the other is
Eagle.
This horse Eagle Thomas Jeffer-
son rode up the hill to the capitol
There he tied old Eagle to post
and went in and took the oath of
office as president of the United
States. Not only did he do this
once. but four years later he did
the same thing. riding the same
horse
Was any horse ever so honored
before? To have carried on his
back the kingliest man that Ameri-
lea has produced on such a mo-
mentous errand. not only once. but
twice-and twice was enough.
The last time that President JEFF
ferson took the oath of Office he
had to elude valiant captain of
militia who insisted on acting as
escort for him.
Jefferson simply beat him to 1t,
and. after taking the oath of of
fee he mounted old Eagle. turned
his head toward the white house
and rode on an easy trot down
Pennsylvania avenue. He met the
escort in brass buttons. gilt and
braid and feathers coming up the
street. looking for their man. JEFF
ferson declined their invitation to
turn about and ride at their head,
circling the capitol, on the plea
that he had work to do.
To him there was something
greater than military display;
something nobler than to make
noise and attract attention. And
that one thing to him was to serve
humanity.
Jefferson was a great writer and
had a peculiar distinct literary
style. all his own. He gave US
lesson in the use of the period His
verb always fetches up. He said
things clearly distinctly, succinctly,
forcibly and well. The idea was
