PRESCOTT NEVADA FRIDAY DECEMBER 1913

l to the amount of liquor he had was substantiated by the porter of the hotel where he was stop- ping.
 The facts in this case are as follows: MT. Irwin left Nash vile on the afternoon train Mon- day for the annual conference, being joined at Prescott by his presiding elder, w. M. Hayes. They went to Little Rock, where MT. Hayes was recalled to Pres colt on account of the death of hisssdaughter-in-law. MT. Irwin remained with MT. Hayes until the latter could secure train back to Prescott, by which time the train to Pine Bluff had gone, making it necessary for Mir. Irwin to spend the remainder of the night in Little Rock. Mr. Irwin visited a member of his congregation who is in a sani- ] tarium at Little Rock Tuesday morning, leaving for Pine Bluff that afternoon, arriving at six o'clock. MT, Irwin asked to be shown to a hotel; not wishing to go to the home of his assigned host until the next morning, owing to the lateness of the hour. Arriving at the hotel, MT. Irwin was stricken with illness, and was too ill that night and We'd nesday toeenotify his friends of his condition or whereabouts.
 It is said that the effort of the saloon element of Pine Bluff to make capital of this incident is resented by the better element, and that it Twill probably have considerable bearing on the com- ing liquor fight in that city-but a different one from that intend ed by the saloonists. The peo- pie feel that if the character of a public hotel in Pine Bluff is such that the mere stopping at it by a man will hurt his reputation, it is time that that place and all ot- hers like it be abolished.
 The people of Nashville were unanimous in their attitude in this matter, and before they learned what the faction of the conference had been, a number of them telegraphed Bishop. Kilgo attesting to the character of Mir. Irwin and his standing in this community, and requesting that be be returned to Nashville. Among his staunchest friends here, and one of the first to tele- graph Bisgop Kilgo was Rev, R. W, Officer, pastor of the First Christian church.

Brandt Had Promised To
Lead a Better
Life.

Albany, n. Y.-Governor Sulzer has
pardoned Folke E. Brandt, former
valet of Mortimer L. Schiff, the New
York banker, on the ground that
Brandt's sentence of 80 years for
burglary was excessive.
AT the request of Governor Sulzer,
Attorney General Carmody made a
Brandt's pardon, mot as a matter of
mercy but as a matter OF justice"
He criticizEd the procedure through
which BranGt was tried and sentenced.
Mr.. Carmody declared that the Gov
ernor's action wiped out a blot on
the judiciary of the state" and show
ed that there is nothing that can
defeat the ends of Justice
United States Senator Knute Mel
son, of Minnesota, also made speech,
in which he characterized Brandts
sentence as judicial tyranny.
The Governor explained that Brandt
had promised to lead better life il

/ Mr.. Schiff had declared he would not
oppose Brandt's application fol-
clemency unless it was based or

Nelson had conferred with the Gov

counsel had presented petitions from

in pardoning Brandt that he is not tc

That the Ball Be Omitted.
Still No Word About

Princeton, n. jim a letter to Will
inaugural committee, Presidentelect
Wilson called off the historic inaugu-
raj ball, which heretofore has been the
important social function in connec-
ton with the Inauguration. 1t has
been represented to the President
elect that the ball is always source
of great unnecessary expense to the
government. 1t has been declared that
the ball has cost the government no
less than $4,000 in loss of services of
clerks, etc, in the Pension Building
who have to be laid off while prepare
tons for the ball are being made. The
President-elect cannot see, therefore,
where the ball serves any useful pur
pose. Moreover, it will save So each
to the persons who would have at
tended. The President-elect's decision
in this matter is in keeping with his
desire to make the Inauguration as
simple as possible. Already, at his re-
quest, the inaugural parade has been
greatly contracted in length. 1t will
be recalled that he has also deter
/ mined to cut out the daily receptions
at the White House and devote his
time to the business of the govern
ment.

His letter to Chairman Eusts fol-
lows:
my Dear Eustis: After taking
counsel with a great many persons
, and learning as well as | could gen.
eral opinion in the matter, | have
come to the conclusion that it is my
duty to ask you to consider the FEAST
bility of emitting the inaugural bali
altogether
Il do this with a great deal of hest
tation, because | do not wish to inter-
fere with settled practices or with rea-
sonable expectations of those who
usually go to enjoy the Inauguration,
but 1t has come to where the aspect of
a sort of public duty, because ot the
, large indirect expense upon the gov
eminent incidental to it, and because
these balls have ceased to be neees-
sary to the enjoyment of the visitors.
II hope most sincerely that this re-
quest will in no way embarrass rou
and that | have not too long delayed
in making the suggestion.

ART SCANDAL TOLD

down artist who had specialized in
taking old Dutch masterpieces. When
this story leaked out great cutlery
was raised and the press severely de-
plored the ignorance of the members
of the commission who wasted the
public money in acquiring worthless
limitations of old masters. The case
was brought before parliament and
the minister of public instruction ap-
pointed a special commission to exam
inc the painting. Surely enough,
within a week Professor Cavenaghi
submitted the painting to a chemical
test and ascertained that it was mod
ern and consequently faxed. The
dealer was threatened with criminal
proceedings, but he easily proved that
he was in good faith, refused to d.
vulge the name of the painter who
sold him the painting on the plea that
this was a professional secret and Of
fered to take back the picture and
refund to the government the $4,000
paid for it.
The scandal has been consequently
hushed up, but, strange to relate, the
dealer has not lost any money on the
deal.

Dealer Successfully Deceives
Italian Commissioners.
Sells Them Imitation and Brags About
the Affair Until He Gets Into
Trouble, but Comes Out
Winner Financially.

Rome, Italy.-A law was voted by
the Italian parliament in June, 1909,
for the preservation and defense of
the artistic, historical and archaeolog-
ical patrimony of the country. The
object of this law was to prevent the
smuggling abroad of art objects and
old paintings, a practice which is re-
sorted to by art dealers who find it
more profitable to sell abroad instead
of in Italy any article of artistic or
historical value. The expectation of
art objects is now prohibited by law
and it is only exceptionally allowed
after the object to be exported has
been examined by a special commits

porter must pay tax amounting to
20 per cent. of the value declared.
cry case entitled to exercise the so
called right of presumption and ac-
quire the object to be exported at
the price declared by the owner.
Recently the members of the gov
eminent commission were instructed
to exercise more care in the examina-
ton of art objects, especially old
paintings, and to apply the right of
pre-emption more frequently. Last
year an art dealer submitted to the
commission an old painting for expor-
tation. which he declared was worth
only $4,000, despite the fact that he
attributed it to the celebrated Dutch
painter, Jakob van Ruysdael. The
members of the commission immedi-
ately jumped to the conclusion that
the painting was a genuine master
piece of great value and suspected
that the dealer had only set a low
price on It in order TO pass it off as
a worthless, unidentified old canvas.
They Immediately exercised the right
OF presumption and acquired the paint
ing for $4,000, announcing that it was
a genuine van Ru!sdael worth at
least $4,000.
The dealer pretended to be greatly
disappointed, but as a matter of fact
he sold shortly afterward another iden-
teal painting to an Italian collector
for $4,000. He was so elated at his
successful deal that he could not help

Mill Girls at Lancashire and York
shire Dislike to Wear Clogs and
ShaWls of Factory.

London.-There is a great dearth
of operatives for the cotton and
wooden mills of Lancashire and York
shire. The cause of this is the grow
ing dislike of girls to appear in the
immemorial dress of the factory girl
clogs and shawls.
The Lancashire lassies" point to
their sisters who work at the shops
or in the office, although at a much
lower wage, who are able to wear
costumes, brightly trimmed hats and
gloves and shoes.
The work of the mill girls discour-
ages any attempt at smart or even
neat appearance. The wearing of
clogs instead of shoes and shawls in
stead of hats causes the mill girls to
be humbled in the eyes of other girls
whose occupation permits them to
dress more attractively, although
they earn only a few shillings week
ly as against the SIS or more earned
by the despised and rejected factory
operative.
The mill managers have met to dis
cuss how mill work for girls could
be made more attractive, for it is I'M

HOME RULE BILL
PASSES COMMONS
Fate Seems Sealed In House
of Lords.
VOTE STIRS ENTHUSIASM.
Redmond Says Measure Will Become
Law During the Lifetime Of
Present Parlia-
n1ent,

London.-After a long, stern battle
the Home Rule Bill passed the House
of Commons by majority OF 10.
Later it was read for the first time in
the House of Lords.
There were two divisions in the
lower house. Mr.. Balfour's motion for
its rejection was defeated, 25S to SOS,
while the third reading was carried by
vote of 367 to 257. one member of
each side having left the House in the
interval.
The result of the division was too
much a foregone conclusion for a ire
mendous demonstration, but Irishmen
inside and outside of the House did
their best, and, assisted by the Lib
erals and Laborites, gave the measure
for which they had waited and worked
so long a good sendoff on its way to
the House Of Lords, where its fate is
certainly sealed.
The division was preceded by an
other series of brilliant speeches by
the political leaders. among whom
were Frederick E. Smith and the soil
citor general, Sir John A. Simon, two
of the cleverest among the younger
members, and the veterans, John E.
