PREDICTS GOOD RESULTS FROM
JACK JOHNSON'S CONVICTION.

Assistant United States District
Attorney Harry Parkin. of Chicago,
who conducted the case for the gov
eminent against Jack Johnson, re-
Gently found guilty of violation of
the Mann act against t~rafficking in
women. takes the view that the con-
viction of the negro pugilist may
work a widespread good, as the fore
runner of laws preventing the mar
rage of blacks with whites. In
discussing the case, following the
verdict against Johnson of guilty,
Mr.. Parkin said:
This verdict will go around the
world. 1t is the foreiunner of laws
TO be passed in the United States
which We may live to see-laws
forbidding miseegenation. This negro
in the eyes of many, has been perse-
cuted. Perhaps as an individual he
was. But his misfortune is to be the
foremost example of the evil in per-
AAiAAibS 1h0 ioS1 VI 1
and blacks. He has violated the
law. Now 1t is his function to teach
others the law must be respected"
In his instructions to the jury
Judge Carpenter emphasized the fact
that the character of the prosecut-
ing witness must not be considered
"The fact hal the prosecuting wit
ness is a discarded mistress, an aban-
doned woman. does not affect the
issue in this case" the court de-
clared. I'VE have had many I'M
fortunate people in this ease-train-
ers. fighting camp hangers on and
women of the underworld-but be.
cause of their status in life their
evidence must not be disregarded.
1T is as much of an offense I'M
der the Mann act to transport a hard
ened woman as an innocent girl.
1t is o necessary that a person ac-
oused of violation of the act shall
receive a profit through %transporta-
ton OF a woman"

GOOD WORDS FOR WHITE
PINE COUNTY CONTESTANTS.

brush. the official paper published
by the University of Nevada, in
speaking of the recent state school
contests held at Reno, says:
THE Ely and Yerington boys re-
ceived a large measure of ap-
plause and rank high among the
speakers of the day. They were in
the ace for honors at all times.
Miss Fulmer of East Ely. and other
girls who came long distances to take
part in the contest, were especially
good, and merited the approba-
ton that fell to their share"
Professor Scrugham of the Uni
versity, has written Prof. Street,
complimentary to the excellent work
done by the White Pine county track
team. at the meet, and expressing
the opinion that Alvin Peters was the
winner of the 50-yard dash, an
event that was contested for twice,

attempt.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN
sPECT HAMILTON ROAD

As the result of the inspection
by the county commissioners last
week, of the roads between Ely and
Hamilton. the wire road" so call
ed, has been eliminated as the pos
sible route between the two points,
for the expenditure of repairs. The
commissioners went to Hamilton
over the main Travelled highway,
and returned over the last
mentioned road, which the COM
m~issioners have had in mind as
Offering an easy grade. although a
little longer route. The return trip
over the wire road" showed it to
be in such a condition that probably
100000 would be required for the
necessary repairs to make IL p~assable,
which estimate is prohibitiye.
Therefore, the repair expenditure
will be on the present route, al
though the desired cutoff to
Jake's Valley, via the Boston Ely,
will have to be deferred until such
time as the county Is in condition to
pay the costs. roughly estimated at
from $1,000 to $4,000.
Last Sunday. Gael S. Hoag,
secretary of the State Auto assoeia-
ton, gave the commissioners an auto
trip over Schellbourne Pass, return
ing via Kinsley Pass, The later pass
marks the northerly end of the
S~ehellbourne range, and extends the
distance to Salt Lake and northern
portions of White Pine county a
fraction over two miles, but the
grade is reduced to a minimum, and
the road is in good condition.

Is systematic practice. Just how 70
get the practice, however. is often a
difficult problem, for a catcher Is
required for every pitcher, and John
may be busy or disinclined at the
time Jim wants to pitch. So a base
ball enthusiast of jamestown, N. D.,
has invented and patented a ball
catching and returning device.
The device consists of a curved
tubular casting mounted on a suit
able standard. The ball entering the
the flared mouth of the bottom Open
ing, woul d all be within such a
radius as to be termed a strike. En-
tering this opening, they strike
against the curved back of the cast
ing, run up the curved neck and are
discharged from the p opening
with sufficient force, so the inventor
claims, to return to the pitcher, or at
least to enable him to catch them
with a very short run.-Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
The device above mentioned. how
ever, is so simple that one could
easily be made by anyone. 1t seems
practical and would afford pitchers
ample opportunity to practice to
their hearts content without the aid
OF a catcher, as they would each
time catch the ball thrown by them
selves. There is a picture of the de-
vice in the April issue of Popular
Mechanics Magazine which may
prove interesting to some OF the local
players.

law enacted which would grant to
the City for the improvement of its
streets and highways, one-half of
the poll taxes collected from residents
of the City. Considerable opposi-
ton to this developed. however, on
the part of some of the other coun-
ties in the state and the bill was
killed. | believe, however, that it
will not be impossible to secure these
funds by taking the matter up with
the county commissioners and hav-
ing the amount of such poll taxes
set apart for the use of the City on
its streets.
There are come changes which
should be made in the ordinances of
the City, especially as regards bust
ness licenses, the construction of.
chimneys and other fiues, and in re-
lation to the conduct of City elections
as to which our ordinances are very
incomplete. During the last two
years the council has seriously con-
sidered the question of abolishing
most of the business licenses and
expressed its wish to do so as soon
as the financial condition of the city
would warrant. i would suggest
that this matter is n which should
receive careful consideration, and as
soon as it is possible to do so, this
inequitable method of raising reve-
nue. should be abolished"
