Mrs. Charles \. Norcross, wife OF
Commis ssioner Charles "A. Norcross
of the Bureau OF Industry, Agricul-
ture and Irrigation, died at her home
IN this city at an early hour this
morning. Her death was entirely nn-
expected and was a shock to the en-
tire community, where Mrs. Nor
eros had grown to be unusually be-
loved during her residence here.
While she had been confined to her
bed for about week, her a1lment
was not considered serious until but
4 few hours before her death. An
unexpected turn for the worse occur
red yesterday forenoon and IN the
evening rapidly developed. Special
lists were summoned from Reno, but
without avail.
Conscious almost to the last
moment and with hardly an apprecia-
tion that the end was SO near, the
spark OF life went out like the snui1-
ing OF candle.
Mrs. Norcross was born near Mon-
treal, Canada, January 7, 1873, and
came TO Nevada when but lev
months OF age, where her father,
Xavier Lonkey, was associated VITA
her uncle, Oliver Lonkey, pioneer
lumberman of Nevada.
Mrs. Norcross was a graduate OF
the University of Nevada in 1895 and
was a member of the Delta-Delta-
Delta sorority of that institution. She
has taken great interest in educa-
tional. social and charitable work,

Greek Is Held
fer White Slavery

On an indictment of white slavery
found by a Federal grand jury N
Salt Lake a number of weeks ago
w. c. Patras, a Greek, was yester-
day held in the Federal court in this
city under bonds of $4,000, and until
these are given or in failure of which
he will be transferred to the Utah
capital, he will remain in the custody
OF Sheriff Stern in the Carson Jail.
Patras was returned to this city
yesterday in charge of Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal Karns, who
brought him here from Ely. Patras
is saloon keeper at McGill and
several months ago brought young
woman to that town from a point in
Montana, representing ha as his
wife. A few weeks ago he departed
for Salt Lake City on a business mis-
sion and during his absence the girl
committed suicide. Before Patras
return an inquiry was started as TO
her antecendents, resulting in the
discovery that the couple had never
been married and the further facet
that Patras had lived with several
other women under similar circunl-
stances. The federal authorities
then took the matter up and after
going into all of its details present
ed the case to a federal grand jury
and the Indictment followed.
Patras claims to have a wealthy
uncle living in White Pine county
and has wired him for the funds to
raise the bond necessary to secure
his liberty.

New York stock EXCHANGE and thus
stop the food Of liquidation.
Some brokers in the city and many
brokers TIN oughcut the country have
telegraphed TO bankers in this city
urging that the stock exchange he
closed ana thus prevent margins from
being wiped out The bankers and
brokers In the conference. judging
from what they said afterwards, were
averse to closing the stock exchange,
but they went into the situation care
fully and thoroughly and undoubtedly
discussed means for preventing COM
