|O'GORMAN HOLDS.
FATE OF MURPHY
Senator Said to Feel Tam
many Reorganization Is
Essential.
MAY REMOVE THE CHIEF
Probably Will Testify Before Grand
Jury on Wednesday Regarding
Sulzer Charges.
MAY REMOVE THE CHEF

I New York, Jan. 2I.-United States
Senator O'Gorman is the central figure
in the light that beats upon the State
contract graft scandal today. All
eyes are turned toward him as the
man who, 1t is declared. can give Dis
trict Attorney Whitman the aid the
latter seeks.
After the revelations of the last few
days, Senator O'Gorman Is said to be
convinced that Tammany Hall must
be reorganized. and that this can best
be accomplished through the present
investigation.
This reorganization. II Is declared.
will involve the removal of Charles
r. Murphy as head OF Tammany and
the substitution Of a man who viii
start in to make over the historic
political force from top to bottom. In
short, IL is believed Murphy's fate rests
with oGorman.
May Testify Wednesday.
It IL expected that the Senator will
take the witness stand in the John
Doe inquiry next Wednesday. and II is
asserted that he will confirm former
Gov. Sulzer's story in every particular,
except the minor details of the visit to
Murphy.
Suizer said that at luncheon in WASH
ington Senator O'Gorman told him that
after an attempt had been made to hold
up Contractor Stewart for $4,000 Senator
O'Gorman went to Murphy and warned
him that he would have to stop Gaffney.
1t is said that Senator o'Gorman at
his conference with Mr.. Whitman as
sured the district attorney that he did not
20 to Murphy to save Stewart. his client,
but that IL was Stewart himself who
went to Murphy.
When sulzer quoted OGorman. 1t Is
said, he was really quoting what O'Gor-
man told him Stewart had said. Senator
O'Gorman has expressed a desire to ap-
pear at the inquiry as witness, and to
lend to the district attorney any other
assistance he can in clearing up the
scandal.
salser Again to Testify.
Sulzer will be called to the stand again
next Wednesday, when. IL is said. he
will be given a chance to correct his
about O'Gorman calling on
Murphy. James C. Stewart. the con-
tractor. also will be called again. II.
has said that he cannot identify the man
who called himself James E. Gaffney."
After Sulzer and Stewart have finished
their testimony Senator O'Gorman will
be called. and II 10 asserted he will
corroborate both.
It Is believed that Mr.. Whitman told
Senator o'Gorman OF some important
concerning the attempt to
hold up Stewart. describing the source
of 1t and the methods by which 1t had
been obtained.
When the Senator Ii called to the stand
he will be asked about some Of these
natters- Those who know his connec-
ions with the workings of the Demo-
,ratic organization in this city declare
hey believe that he win be able to throw
much light upon them.

WILL TALK
ABOUT IMMIGRATION
fpU TTuitad Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Plans for
diverting the flood of Immigration.
from the crowded cities Of the Allan
tie coast to the farms of the country
and particularly to the south, were
discussed at the meeting of the South
ern Commercial congress, which open
ed its convention today.
Secretary of Labor Wilson was
scheduled to deliver the principal adj
dress. His department, it was stated,
viii cooperate with the Southern
Commercial congress in its work, and
T v. Powderly, chief of the division
Of information Of the bureau of inn
migration, has been designated by
Secretary Wilson to assist actively in
carrying out what plans may be de-
cided upon as the most desirable.
The problem was regarded by dele
gates to the congress as being of par
ticularlv great Importance at this
time because a great flood of immi-
grafton is expected at the close of the
present European war.

Barr Acquitted by jury.

Yesterday morning the jury in the
Barr murder ease came into court and
returned a verdict of not guilty.
Judge Winters discharged the prison
er from custody, but he was imme-
diately arrested by Sheriff Lamb and
held awaiting action of the Colorado
officials.
1t bad always been the general i'm
preston here that Barr was pardoned
by the Colorado authorities, but it
now transpires that he was only pa
rolled to come to Winnemucca. In 9th
er words, he was given an opportunity
to come to Nevada to get hanged.
While Salter Robins, attorneys
for Barr anticipate there would be no
difficulty in securing their clients re
lease from the county Jail, he would
still have the, Colorado affair hanging
over his head. and should he attempt
to leave Winnemucca, would make
himself a fugitive from justice. They
win accordingly make application to
Governor Ammons, of Colorado, to
have the parole extended or for a
pardon.

MAY SLAUGHTER
PLACED ON TRIAL

The trial Of May Green, or May
Slaughter, as she is better known To-
cally, on a charge Of jail-breaking
was begun in the District Court yes
terday morning, and a jury was seeur-
ed before night.
The state rested early this after
noon, when Judge Frame, for defend
ant, moved that the Court instruct
the jury to acquit, on the ground that
the information was defective, in that
it did not stare shat at the time of the
alleged escape from jail defendant
was lawfully in custody under an or
der or judgment Of the Sixth Judicial
District Court.
Judge Ducker declined to so instruct
at this time, but gave counsel permis-
sion to renew the motion after the
Court had further considered the
point.
Judge Frame then made the open
ing statement for defendant. stating
that it would be shown TO the jury.
that owing to ill-health and worry
over the fact that she must remain in
Jail for several months awaiting
trial. that defendant became irration-
al and irresponsible.
DR.. Mangan was called by the de-
fense and was on the stand as the
Silver State goes to press.
1t is probable that the ease will 90
to the jury tonight.
This winds up the criminal docket,
with the exception of the Indictment
against the same defendant, on a
charge Of grand larceny, for which she
was confined in the county jail at the
time of the alleged escape.

ELKO DEFEATED BY
SCORE OF I3 TO ;.

The basketball game between the
girl teams of the Elko and Winnemuc-
ca High schools, played yesterday in
the Nixon opera house, was won by
the Winnemucca girls, by the score Of
~ to 8.
The local girls clearly outclassed the
visitors and played fast game, show
ing evidences of careful training. 1t
is doubtful if team can be found on
the coast that can defeat them.
Two prehminaries preceded the
main event, one being a game be-
tween two grammar school teams,
known as the Reds ana the Blues.
Inc Reds team is composed of Kent
Lamb, Charles Fshburn, Archie Man
gan, Eldon Scofeld and Ormonde Bell.
The Blues team is composed of Har-
old Haviland, George Hoskins, Rob-
ert Seeliger, Owen Redfeld and Alb
bott Gunnell. This game was won by
the Blues by score of to O.
The second preliminary was bur-
lesque game between the boys regular
team of the High school and the sub
stitutes. This game created much
amusement, as the regulars were
handicapped by wearing hobble skirts.
The Regulars team is composed Of
Norman Bell, Stuart Erskine, Cecil
Callahan, Leland Muller and Arthur
Lille. The Subs team is compos-
ed of Harold Gunnell, Neil Barnard,
Earl Randolph, Thos. Keating and
Won Edwards. Notwithstanding the
handicap, the Regulars took the
game by score of 9 to A.
Prof. J. d. Scott, principal Of the
Grammar school, acted as re1eree for
all three games.
There was a good-sized crowd in at
tendance that took lively interest
in the playing.
The Elko team arrived in town
Thursday evening, on Southern Pa
cific No. 10, and in the evening were
entertained at party given in their
honor at the High school auditorium.
The visitors will leave today for
Lovelock, where they will play
match with the girls team of that
place tonight.

REQUESTS NURSES
FOR FRENCH INSANE

(By William G. Shepherd, United
Press staff Correspondent.)
BERLIN, Oct. 15.-(By mail to
New York; )-German officers tell me
that the most distressing and, at the
same time astonishing, message that
has come into their war Office was
sent from Won Kluck s army near
Noyon, France.
Send me nurses to take care of
| 400 luantics,' was the gist of the
message which came from an officer
Of the medical corps.
Investigation disclosed that many
of the doctors and some of the nurses
of the great French asylum for the
insane at Chauny had deserted their
posts as the Germans advanced. There
are no walls surrounding the asylum
grounds, as the asylum is built on the
most advanced lines and the boundar-
les of the grounds are only deep
bitches.
The asylum buildings were mistak-
en- by the Germans for a chateau and
the officers who rode up, were astonish-
ed to discover ever a thousand hope
lessIy insane patients in the buildings
and grounds.
Some valiant nurses had remained
but many patients were without at
tendant. The German medical corps
took charge of the place and later
some of the French physicians and
nurses, being assured by the Germans
that their lives would be spared, re-
turned to the asylum.
