COL. {. P. HARDESTY

Col. L. p. Hardesty, a resident Of
Wells Cor many years died in Car
son CITY Sunday night. He vas
d prominent figure in the political
and business life of Elko County
until his health compelled him to
retire from active business. He
then moved to Carson City. where
he resided until his death.
The following sketch Of his life
is taken from MONDAYS Appeal:
Shortly after the hour of ~ lost
night, at his home in this city
Colonel Edward Plat H~ardesty, Ne
vada's oldest citizen, passed to his
eternal rest after an illness lasting
over a period of many years. The
aged pioneer had been suffering
from u combination of ailments
brought about by his advanced age
for many years and the end has
been anticipated for months.
Colonel. or Senator Hardesty, as
he is more widely known in this
state, was one of the real pioneers
Of the west. Coming into Nevada
in 1872 he engaged in the stock
raising. business in White Pine and
Elko counties 9nd from this line of
industry accumulated Il fortune.
Colonel Hardcsty came from Il
race of fighters and his direct fam
lily have served through three var
between this country and other
nations. His grandfather, Wallace
Hardesty, immigratCd from the
north of Ireland prior to the
Revolutionary n and fought
against England during the whole
time of the struggle. A son Jacob
served this country in the war of
1912, and later the deceased the
remaining heir to the family name,
did noble service for his country
in the Mexican war. and was one
OF the few survivors Of that mCmor.
able struggle.
AS to the eXart date of his birth
there seems to be some doubt. Ac-
cording tc Wrcu's history of Ne
vada Colonel Hardcsty was born at
Newport, Kentucky, in September
of 1924, making him 90 years of
age.
On the records of the great
register the date of his birth is
given a. 1917. The Geatil Iertifi
cate filed today gives his age as 95,
while a family Bible that has been
handed down through generations
places his age at l07.
His youth was spent in the Mis-
sissippi valley and his first intro
ductiun to the west was made after
his enlistment for service IN the
Mexican war. Following the war
he engaged in the freighting bust
ness between Salt Lake City and
various Montana towns.
Following his location in Nevada
he took hi active interest in poi
tiles, being u staunch Democrat and
later n of the prime mover in
the Silver party. He served in the
Legislature in 1884 and 1886 in the
assembly and latter in the upper
house. In 1884 and again i'm 1896
he WAS a delegate to the National
Democratic convention in Chicago.
On January 6, 1880 he married
Mrs. Adeline Smith of Chicago
who survives him. He also LEFT a
stepson, a resident Of Idaho, and a
number of other distant relatives.
I Funeral arrangements have not
as yet been fully completed. but is
believed that the last rites will be
held from the family residence on
Thursday afternoon.

"PEACE ON EARTH"
PLAN FOR EUROPE
ON CHRISTMAS DAY
London Hears of American
Suggestion That Guns Be
Silent "a FIours--Presi-
dent May Propose 1t.

!, LONDON, Oct H.
The Daily Mail has received a dispatch
from Its correspondence New York say
ing that leading olericals and educators
there have under discussion a movement
to have the warning powers agree to an
armstice on Christmas Day. Bishop
David H. Greer, Cardinal Farley, Rabbi
H. p Mendes, of the Jewish Synagogue In
New York, and President Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, of Columbia University, are
mentioned as interested.
NEW YORK, oct. II.
The correspondent of the London Daily
Mall In New York said yesterday:
THE movement for a Christmas armis-
tice is in its infancy, but it has already
enlisted the sympathies of such dlstin-
guished leaders of their creeds as Car
dlnal Farley. Bishop David H. Greer, of
the Episcopal diocese of New York. and
Rabbi II. Peries Mendes, of the Jewish
Synagogue. The movement also is under
stood to have the sympathy and support
of such eminent educators as President
Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia
University.
Ihe larger movement looking to a
permanent cessation Of hostilities Is at
present subordinated apparently to the
movement for an armistice on Christmas
day. Bishop Greer said that while no
deflnite action has been taken on the
proposal, which had originated with Rabbi
Mendes, 1t was proper to say that the
suggestion for a Christmas armistice had
already received the enthusiastic support
of prominent members of the Catholic
and EniSCOnal churches nd Of h.
synagogues. Bishop Greer said that de-
tails of the plan still were to be worked
out but that probably, II the movement
met with the expected support of all
creeds and denominations, the proposal
for Christmas armistice would be made
through President Wilson or the State
Department at Washing ton. He said that
the plan had as yet not advanced far
enough in detail to be presented to the
President.
THE movement is all the more re-
markable in that the idea of observing
the day Of peace on earth should have
come as 1t apparently did, from a rabbi
1t Is from DR.. Mendes, too, that the
larger purpose Of an eff6ft by all re-
ligious creeds and sects for permanent
peace comes. Rabbi Mendes received me
on a sick bed from which the rabbi has
been unable to move for some time. He
was suffering severe pain, but his face
lighted up as he spoke of his dream
that men of all religions should unite in
a plea for peace. He said:
" 1T seemed to me that II religion has
any force in the world, and l believe 1t |
has. its voice ought to be heard right |
now. For we have had enough carnage |
and there Is enough ruin, and I believe |
that public opinion In every land ought |
to insist, first upon truce and second |
upon the, creation of an international |
