new GARAGE
FOR THIS CITY

The Elbrecht blacksmith shop, own
ed by Mr.. Fillipini, will be moved
across the street to the Dorsey lots
in the near future to make room for
another big improvement to this city.
The old lots on which the blacksmith
shop has stood have been purchased
by A. j. Simcox, who in short time
will erect new and modern garage
thereon. The new garage will be
modern and well, equipped in every
respect. 1t will be SO by 100 feet in
size and fitted with steam heating
apparatus. All modern machinery
will be installed and when completed
there will be no finer garage in the
state. The old blacksmith shop will
be replaced on a new lot by more
modern one, and the old one will be
placed in the rear of the new shop
and used for storage.
These new improvements only go
to show that the business men of this
city have perfect faith and confidence
in the future of Blko as business
center. There is hardly day passes
but some modern improvement is plan
ned for the city and she is. rapidly
taking first place in the ranking of
Nevada cities.

SUFFRAGE MAY
Be CONTESTED

1t Is reported from anti-suffrage
sources in western Nevada that the
suffrage amendment to the State con-
titution will be contested in the
courts unless 1t receives a majority
OF all the votes cast in the election
and not simple majority vote. It
is claimed that this is provided for in
the constitution.
Section 1~of Article VXI of the Con-
stitution Of the State of Nevada pro-
Vides the manner of making amend
ments to the constitution. After pro-
Uding that any amendment must be
passed by two successive Legislatures
and then ubmitted to the people to
be voted upon, this section of the
constitution says:
80; and If the people shall ap-
prove and ratify such amendment or
amendments by majority of the cleo
tors qualified to vote for members
OF the Legislature voting thereon,
such amendment or amendments
shall become part of the constitution. I"
The wording of this section is some
what ambiguous. 1t is contrued by
the anti-suffragists to mean that to
carry constitutional amendment it
must receive a majority of all the
votes cast at the election at which it
is submitted to the people-not merely
a majority of the. total number of
votes cast for and against the pro-
posed amendment. To illustrate this
construction of the wording of the
section of the constitution in uues-
ton:
If there were 10000 votes cast at
the election last Tuesday, it would be
necessary for 10,001 votes to be cast
in favor of the suffrage amendment
in order to carry it and make it eff
fective-or majority of all the votes
cast at the election. If there were
any number of votes less than 1O,OO1
cast in favor of the amendment-no
matter how few the votes were cast
against 1.-THE amendment would not
become operative.
The total number of votes cast last
Tuesday for and against the amend
ment will not be known for several
days. Possibly it has received ma
jority of all the votes cast and possib-
ly not. 1t remains to be seen what ac-
tion will be taken in case the vote for
1t falls short Of a clear majority of all
votes cast.

stated that if the people wanted it,
there would be no trouble in arrang-
ing the matter and there is no reason
why the meeting hould not be held

Like the other new members he gets

.ROBBER|ES FROM
ELK0 POSTOFF|CE

Systematic robberies of the Elko
postofice have been going on for
some time but are just now being
made known to the public. The In
dependent has known of the matter
for several days but in accordance
with the wishes of the postal author
tiles, the news has not been publish
ed until now. For several weeks,
there have been missed from various
boxes, letters containing money,
checks, etc. Recently a check was
sent to the First National Bank of
this city and was stolen from the
postofice. The thieves took the check
to the Golden Rule Store and got it
cashed and since that time the auth
critics have been on the lookout for
the guilty parties. Recently the man
ager of the Golden Rule Store was in
Reno and recognized one of the men
who cashed the check. The following
from the Journal is description of
what followed:
"Wednesday evening a patron of
the theater left his seat and, after
locating the manager notified him that
he recognized one of two men in the
audience as being a man who, a few
days before, had cashed a check for
sixty dollars in his store at Elko, the
check having been stolen from the
Elko postofice. A policeman was
summoned and the two men taken to
police headquarters. The Elko mer-
chant returned to his seat in the thea
ter, delaying his appearance at police
headquarters until the conclusion of
the performance.
At the police station it was found
that no report had been made to the
Reno police of post office robbery
in Elko, nor a request for the holding
of any suspects. The two men con-
Vinced Chief of Police Hillhouse that
they were not fugitives and they were
released. Later the Elko merchant
appeared stating that he was mana
ger Of the Golden Rule Store in Elko
and explained that he had identified
one o fthe two men as the one who
had cashed the stolen check in his
store.
Not until last night, however did
the local police learn that there had
been postofice robberies in Elko,
and that checks stolen had been cash
ed. In each instance the thieves
broke open the postoffice drawers of
Elko banks. One box was broken into
Saturday night three weeks ago. The
next day the drawer of another bank
was broken open and a week later
one of the boxes was again opened.
Each time the. thieves secured checks
and drafts, the majority of which
were not negotiable. OF those which
were negotiable several were cashed
by Elko merchants before the banks
discovered their loss"
