'Tis like penny glass to a rich

without It the water were split,
the spirit lost Of all people Ia

ceremonies, for they take them
selves Sighted without it. And
were they not used with cere-
mony-with compliments and ad-
dresses, with legs and kissing Of
hands-they were the pitifulest

methinks to kiss their hands aft

District Court
of Elko Upheld

he Supreme Court, through JUS
tice McCarran, has affirmed the de-
cision of the district court of Elko
| county IN the case of State vs.. Albert
Nelson, who was convicted of an at
tempt to assault little girl.
The appeal in this case was found
ed first on an alleged error in re-
fuslng continuance on the ground
OF absence of material witnesses.
he court holds that the affidavit for
continuance is fatally defective IN
that 1t failed to show that there were:
not other persons by whom the de-
fendant could prove the same fact
that he expected to prove by the
absent witnesses, and also that there
was no possibility disclosed of Sc
curing the attendance of such wit
nesses If continuance were granted.
The appellant also objected to GER
tain testimony on the ground that it
was hearsay, but the transcript show
ed that such testimony had already
been admitted in direct testimony
and that the error if any, was irnma-
terlal and did not prejudice the ap-
pellant.
lhe appellant also relied upon in
sanity as one of his defenses, and OBJ
Jected to an instruction given by the
court, which instruction was copied
from the one laid down by Judge
Hawley i'll the case of State VS.. Lew

the correctness of the instruction in

MEXICAN PRESIDENT SHOWS
EVIDENCE OF WEAKENING
Recognizing That the United States
Means Business, Huerta Has Be-
come More Tfactible, and Asks
for Return of John Lind

MEXICO CITY. Nov. l4-Mem
bers OF President lIuerta official
family are working diligently for
the reopening OF the negotiations and
claim to have the consent OF Gen
eral Huerta to make concessions ;
which they believe will be satlsfac-
tory to the United States.
The Mexican minister Of the in
terror, Manuel Cara Aldape. saw
Nelson O'Shaushnessy, the Ameri-
can charge daffaires, late today and
appealed to him to do all in his pow
er to induce the United States t.,
withhold action until the Mexican OF
falls could communicate with NJ.
Lind, now at Vera Cruz. He based
his appeal on the allegation that the,-
were unable yesterday to get in touch
with General Huerta in order to pre-
sent to him Mr.. Lind's communica-
ton.
The American charge could give
the minister little assurance. Seno1
Aldape asked if Mr.. Lind could be
persuaded to return to the capital
OF failing, representative OF the gov
ernment might go to Vera Cruz aud
confer with him. Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy expressed the opinion thai
either course would be useless. In
the end, he agreed to present the
the representations of President
iiuerta's counsellors, together with
an appeal for postponement OF action
directed at lifting the embargo on
arms and ammunition, or such other
action as had been decided upon.
1t is believed that General Huerta,
through his counsellors, proposes to
present plan in the nature of sub
stitute He is said to be reconciled
to the idea OF resigning from the
presidency, but wants to submit his
resignation to the new congress, the
body which President Wilson,
through Mr.. Lind. has declared must
not convene.
Huertas friends and those in the
cabinet who are attempting to in
duce him to yield, have been inform
ed there are certain measures con-
gress might adopt, to which the
United States would be unalterab,y
opposed and that if any plan devised
by them involves the convening OF
congress it would be we'll to sign pa
pers in which should be set forth ex
actly what measures this new law
making body expects to pass upon,

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 14.-The
statement made by the minister ii
finance Wednesday night that he had
been unable to present Mr.. Lind :
message to General Huerta. was YER
flied today. The provisional presi-
dent had gone on a visit to Talpam
a suburb, without the formality !
notifying his personal friends OF Of
ficial associates. 1t was not until d
very late hour last night that those
entrusted with the task of giving him
Mr.. Lind's message were able to 10
cate him.
The announcement today of Mr..
Lind's departure from the capital and
the circumstances attending only cx-
cited casual comment. A number II
Americans left for Vera Cruz, but
the capital as whole lost none OF
its accr.tomed calm.
Considerable anxiety was evident
at the American embassy throughout
the day, but the president of Mexico
was apparently unruffled. Charge
Nelson Shaughnessy said that he
had received a communication from
Secretary of State Bryan, but was
noncommlttal on its character.
