RECOUNT
WILL START TOMORROW

Inc county commissioners met al
the usual hour this morning at the
county courthouse and the routine
business was taken up. Mr.. Booher
who had previously filed his petition
Tor a recount Of the ballots of the last
election. was present when the board
met AT his suggestion it was decfd.
ed to take up and finish all routine
work before taking action in the mat.
ter OF the election contest. AS il will
probably take the better part of two
days to complete the work in hand
the contest matter will not be taken
up until tomorrow afternoon and DOS
sibly not until Wednesday.
This case will be watched with
more interest than any case in Elko
county in many years as a great deal
may depend upon its termination.
Many intimate friends of Mr.. Nc.
Bride are hoping that Mr.. Booher may
be successful for the reason that he
would be in closer sympathy and
touch with Governor-elect Boyle and
his administration of state affairs.
''r rom the outline of his policies it is
generally believed that the governor
is going to urge the passage of many
beneficial laws, and it is hoped that
he will have a legislature that will
assist and cooperate with rather than
hamper him.
On the outcome of this contest may
depend which of the two parties will
organize the assembly.

ATTACKS ARIZONA LAW

The Italian ambassador, Count di
Cellere, called at the state department
Saturday to lodge a protest against
the Arizona law, which requires at
least"80 per cent of certain employees
in that state to be American citizens.
The British ambassador already has
protested for his government
The reasons given for the protest
are that the law is in direct violation
of the provisions in the treaty be-
tween the United States, Great Brit
ain and Italy, guaranteeing their citi-
zens the same rights as are enjoyed
by American citizens in the states in
the matter of employment. and travel.
The italian case is said to be stronger
than the British, because the Italian
treaty provision is more specific in It's
recognition of Italian rights.
There is in some respects resem-
balance between the Arizona law and
the California anti-alien legislation,
which brought protest from Japan
which remains unsettled

The big alternating current motor

SACRAMENTO MURDER
RECALLS DURAMT CASE

A Sacramento dispatch of the 9Th
says: The murdered body of Marea.
ret Millings. ten years old, was. found
In the basement of church. today by
David Fountain. the janitor, who was
busting up for Sunday The child
had been ATTACKED and strangled to
death.
Fountain notified the Rev. Charles
F. Ochler, pastor of the church, who
in turn notified the police. The jani-
tor was taken into custody. He told a
straightaway story which found cor.
roboration in some particulars to,
night.
The Millings girl had been meeting
at the church with some companions
twice a week to sew on Christmas
gifts. Today was not meeting day
and she is supposed to have gone to
the church by mistake
How she got in and who the muir
derer was remained mystery late to-
night. Fountain told the police he

and noticed upon returning that one
OF them was open. He said this could
be coroborated by Benjamin Ochler,
the pastors soon, who was fixing an
automobile near the church and whose
attention, Fountain said, he directed
to the open door. Going to the base
ment after duster, he found the
body huddled in a corner, strangled
with cord and with the marks of a
mans hand gouged into the face.
Aspects of the murder thus far re-
vealed recalled those OF Minnie Will
liams and Blanche Lamont, in San
Francisco in 1895, for which Theodore
Durant was hanged. The victims in
this case, however, were adults.
Fountain, according to a statement
made by the police late tonight, had
made visits to the Milling residence
on several occasions. DR.. Ochler, the
pastor, said that on several occasions
he had rebuked Fountain for his de-
meanor towards young girls of the
church and that he had instructed
him not to be familiar with them.
