CHARITY BALL IS
REC0RD-BREAKER
GREAT SOCIAL AFFAIR WILL
NET BIG SUM FOR THE
POOR

While the committees in charge
of the Elks' charity ball have not
as yet compiled the financial re-
turns resulting from the affair held
last night, they believe that the
amount derived will prove in ex-
cess of the sum obtained last year
by a comfortable margin. Never
before since the early history of the
camp has an affair of this kind been
attended with so much success both
financially and in the enjoyment of
those present.
The immense crowds which pack
ed the three floors of the building
were kept in continual laughter by
the antics of the two sets of Mutt
and Jeff cops, in which guise Walter
s. Norris and Myron A.. Kibby Of
ficiated as the Nuts and Speed
Barnes and Billy Boak as the Jeffs.
Among their duties was the arrest
of any man present against whom
charges could be trumped up and
the bringing of the prisoners before
Captain Bradley, judge of the Kan
CARGO court, who imposed sentence
in accordance with the severity of
the crimes.
The charge has been made by
many of the victims that these COM
edians in the role Of the town con-
stabulary violated their official oaths
by forcing the unfortunates who fell
into their grasp at a time when the
coppers were feeling particularly
dry, to walk up to the thirst dis
pensary and buy under threat to
take them back to court for another
sentence. Whether any of the high
er ups" - Captain Bradley for ex-
ample, were implicated in these lit
tie plots could not be ascertained as
the accused officers have steadfast-
ly refused to squeal on their SUI
perior.
A sparring exhibition was one OF
the features of the cabaret show,
given by Sears and Sudenberg. The
latter, who is to meet Bob Graham,
the local boy, in a ten round contest
Christmas afternoon, kindly con-
oChtCu W 6lNO oil cAulUlJlOH. Olll-
Ger Norris, who officiated as ref
cree, called the bout a draw.
Miss Hall sang a number of songs
during the evening, the ~favorite with
the crowd being "Tipperary," and
Mrs. Jack Thompson also gave a
fine number. The beautiful dane
ing floor was d~ensely packed until
the early hours of the morning, and
on the third floor the country
fair" held the attention of many be-
cause of the handsome things on
sale.
"A big delegation came over from
Tonopah on the special traiH and III
automobiles and practically every
southern Nevada town was repre-
sented in the attendance. Every
thing considered, it was the best
ever.

New Department for Study of An
imal Diseases in Jersey Gets
Legislative Sanction.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The new depart
ment of the Rockefeller Institute for the
study of animal diseases, for the estab-
lishment of which John D. Rockefeller
has given 100000. probably will be
located at Railway. n. j., near the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station.
This fact became known through the pas
sage of bill in the New Jersey legisla-
ture yesterday that will permit outside
medical societies to engage in expert
ments on animals in the state.
The bill was introduced i'll the New
Jersey senate Immediately following a
conference between several members OF
the legislature and Starr J. Murphy.
counsel and secretary of the Rockefeller
Institute. 1t passed the house last night
and was sent to Gov. Fielder for his sig
nature today.
1t is understood that one of the big
featu of the work of the new depart
mont will be the study of cattle tubercu-
losis, with which so many cows are af-
fected throughout the country. Bovine
tuberculosis is often contracted by per-
sons through the bacilli in milk that is
not properly pasteurized. The state OF
New York pays thousands of dollars an
nually to cattle raisers and farmers for
tuhercular cows that are condemned and
killed by order of inspectors of the state
agricultural department.
To support an investigation by the new
department of the institute into the
causes of hog cholera, which is said to
have killed hogs valued at $4,000, 900 in
the last year, James J. Hill has guaran-
teed $4,000.

only is given. where attractions of great
interest are promised. and many in
number often are those who discover
too late the sight of April fools TO
be the great attraction.
In Scotland the pastime is called hunt

Chambers facetionsly compares these
sports in England as simple and those
in Scotland as compound addition. in

was thrown on the murder of Ida
Beecher near Poland, Herkmer county,
last Friday night in the text of letter
which she wrote to the George Junior

statement by her brother, Willis Beecher,
last night, when he said:

wanted to help him to make man of

teaching, and here was problem for her
to solve, and she tried to do the best for
the boy by suggesting that he go to the

Miss Beecher'S letter says, in part:
Have you room for one more citizen
a boy of fifteen? He is a good-hearted
of my most interesting boys. The father
thinks a lot of the boy and has tried to
do what he could for him. He dislikes
school work. He got a working certificate
with his fathers consent and got work
in the mills four miles from here. He
became restless. ] don't know what the
trouble was. but he got 81 and started
somewhere away from home. He was
later caught and was sent to Utica. On
his return here he had nothing in view.
Urged Little Kind Treatment.
'If he could get in some place like the
George Junior Republic, where he would
receive little kind treatment as well as
hard work. it would be fine for him. He
responds to kindness very readily. He is
