ing slightly injured Tonkin was

AUTO PARTY CHANGES ROUTE FROM.
ELY To SHORTEN TIME To COAST.
Sec'y Gael S. Hoag of State Association,
Explains Why Indiana Tourists Will Clip
Distance on their Run Across Nevada

The Indiana automobile manufac-
turers have decided on A change of
route from that first announced. on
their transcontinental trip from In
dianapolis to the coast, and from ely
will go 'Friscoward via Eureka, Aus
tin. Fallon and Reno. The original
route was from Ely to Tonopah and
Goldfield, and thence to Bishop, Cali
fornia. Lake Tahoe and Reno. The
reason for the change OF route is to
save time. the original logging re-
quiring more time between Ely and
Sacramento than the Indiana party
can devote ia to the purpose. Tono-
pah is peeved by the announcement
and the Bonanza attempts to lay the
blame upon G. S. Hoag, secretary of
the state automobile association, the
claim being made under sereeching
headline that the state auto secretary
has played a flim-f1am game with
Tonopah. or as the Bonanza puts It..
double-crossed the people in the
southern part of the state. Ii is
natural that Tonopah and Goldfield
should be disappointed in not having
opportunity to entertain the Indian
ians, and should send an envoy post
haste in an attempt to have the tour
lists change their mind again and
follow the route as originally plan
ned. But why make charges that the
facts of the case do not substantiate? :?
Mr. Hoag has no trouble in making .
satisfactory explanation.
When asked about this matter,
Mr.. Hoag replied as follows:
"All | know about it is this: On
June 3rd | received the following
telegram from W. Mex. White. who
is Tour Chairman of this party.
indianapolis, Ind, June 2-3, 13.

5000 OR 25 DAYS.

J. =. Lyon also known as j. p.
Flynn. arrested in McGill last week,
was in Judge Cartwright's court,
Tuesday, and convicted of petty lar
ceny Lyon-Flynn was found guilty
of the charge of taking money from
the person of Pete Haggerty. at Nc
Gill. The respondent was sentenc-
ed to pay fine of $50. and as he was
without funds, took the alternative
of 25 days in jail.
The alleged 'frisking." took place
on a recent Sunday night in the Cop
per Club saloon. at McGill. Haggerty
was conducting a little celebration on
his own account. and spending his
money freely, while Lyon-Flynn was
broke" Haggerty received in
change a ten dollar yellow back,
which in very short time was pre-
sented over the bar by Lyon-Flynn.
The bar-keep and Proprietor Geary
of the Copper club, noticed the unex-
pected wealth of Lyon-Flynn, and Mr.
Geary started an investigation. He
found Haggerty was minus his roll,
and the suspicion pointed so strongly
to Lyon-Flynn, that he was arrested
and brought to Ely, by Deputy Sheriff
George Newman. When the case was
called the respondent could not tell II
10 the Judge in satisfactory man
ner as to where he had pulled down
that yellow backed ten dollar note,
and he was tagged for the pay or
pine stunt.

SO PATIENTS INOCULATED.
Sufferers of "White Plague" Given
Treatment by Friedman.


Montreal.-Dr. Friedrich F. Fried
mann of Berlin, demonstrated his
treatment for tuberculosis upon 56
patients at the Royal Edward Insti-
tute last week in the presence of a
representative gathering of physi-
clans.
DR.. Friedmann's patients were Sc
lected from list of ninety odd cases
presented by DR.. e. S. Harding and
his colleagues of the medical board
of the institute. The patients so
presented were chosen from list of
several hundred who applied person
ally or through their physicians for
treatment. The medical board in
making its selections was guided by
desire to see cases typical of every
class and every stage of the disease
with the exception of cases so ad-
vanced as to be hopeless. The num-
Der treated is by far the largest ever
inoculated in one day or in one city
by DR.. Friedman, outside of Berlin.
DR.. Friedmann's methods were
followed with the closest attention by
the so or more physicians present
and his rapid diagnosis of the cases
presented and his professional tech
nique were the subjects of comment.
The cases represented the three
main divisions of tuberculosis infec-
ton pulmonary, glandular and
bone or joint affection and ranged
from the early stages to we'll advanc-
ed cases OF several years duration.

Lemons to be Free, Lower Tariff on
Other Products.

Washington, D. C.-The Ways and
Means Committee has decided to put
lemons on the free list and to reduce
the tariff on all other citrus fruits
to a nominal rate. The committee
found that the fruit growers of Cali
fornia had a combination to fix prices
and to exclude from this country all
foreign products of the ordinary
class. In spite of the arrangements
between the growers the committee
found that considerable high class
fruit was imported.
During the last ten years the i'm
portations have fallen from S3,000,-
900 to 100000 worth annually. The
value of the product of this country
is 100000 on the farm, but it
increases in value several times be-
fore it reaches the consumers

CONFESSION OF FIREBUG
CHIEF DANES
Says Vast Amount Has Been Collect
ed From BlaZeS He Started.


ed From BlaZes He Started.
Chicago.-John Danies, of New
York City, alleged chief of the Arson
Trust, has made a confession to
Frank Johnston, First Assistant
States Attorney. Danies, according
to Mr.. Johnston, named forty mem
bers of the arson ring, including sew
eral men higher up" and admitted
he had set more than twenty fires in
Chicago.
The confession is said to be even
more startling than that made re-
Gently by Benjamin Fink, who con-
fessed completely in 100 incendiary
fires. An aggregate of 100000 in
insurance money was collected from
the Danies fires, said Mr.. Johnston,
Fwho announced that at least forty
warrants for business men, public
fire insurance adjusters and actual
incendiaries named by Danies would
be issued.
The ramitfications of the trust, as
described by Danies, are almost be-
yond belief" Mr.. Johnston contin-
ued.
The gang seems to have worked in
almost every State in the Middle
West. Danies and Fink were chiefs
of the firebugs, although they did not
belong to the same gang. Both men
say they do not know each other ex-
cept by reputation"
''I tried to get out of the business" I"
Danies' confession runs, "but people
would not let me alone. They kept
sending for me to do jobs for them,
and 1 kept going in the same old
way for fifteen years. My expert
ence with fires happened in my own
home, and when / settled for the in
surance an adjuster told me that
could make lots of money by setting
incendiary fires. That's how / got
mixed up in this rotten stuff"

company has filed a complaint with
the state railroad commission in Har-

vast amount of evidence in support

being in what he calls "a grudge
game that is being worked on him"
because of his prosecution of charges
against Judge R. w. Archibald. He

BERRY PRAISES CATHOLICS.
Methodist Bishop Extols Their Char
liable Institutions.


delphia.-Bishop Berry, pre-
siding over the Philadelphia Metho-
dist Episcopal Conference last week,
declared that the Methodists would
have to take a leaf from the books
of the Catholics if they hoped to
grow and become a world power. He
said the Catholics could teach the
members of other denominations a
great deal through their charitable
work. He said:
'T do not say that the Roman
Catholic church with premediations
and plans uses it's great charitable
institutions as a method for propa-
ganda for evangelism, but do know
that the Catholic orphanages and
hospitals and all it's great institutions
have become a tremendous force all
over the world.
II do not say of Protestants who
go to Catholic institutions and hos
pitals that there is any attempt to
proselyte them, because l do not
know, but these patients cannot help
but be impressed by the spirit of
benevolence displayed there.
THE Methodists are too busy with
revivals to do much. We began too
late"
Bishop Berry showed his progress
sivism along other lines when he
demanded that nearly all aged minis
ters be placed upon the retired list
in order that their places may be
taken with young fighting men"
The demand of the bishop was acted
upon Immediately and it was decided
to retire eight of the best known
ministers, members of the conference
owing to their advanced ages.
Pittsburg.-A $10,O0O,0O0 endow-
ment fund, the income to be used to
pension ministers of the Presbyter-
ian church who are too old to occupy
pulpits, is to be raised by that de-
nomination. The campaign will be
opened in November.
At the Fort Pit Hotel, 120 promi-
nent Presbyterian clergymen met to
hear the Rev. DR.. William H. Foulds
of New York, the new secretary of
the ministerial relief board, discuss
| the subject. The sole purpose of
the fund is to provide a suitable al
lowance to ministers who have be-
come disabled or are too feeble to
continue work.

This action is rendered necessary
by reason of the serious congestion
