The so-called ''poison pen" postal

possible that they might be placed In
tho hands of the United States Dis
trict- Attorney FOR action In connec-

ity Of bringing assault charges
against the pastor on behalf OF tho

pressed confidence that the airing Of
the church scandal In the courts
might bring different result than
the inquiry by the church trial body.

fore Justice Blur In the Supreme
Court. where Mrs. Berus IL suing for
divorce.
An unusual feature Of the case 10
that Mrs. Berus hopes to get her d.
vorce on testimony given last Novem-
Der by her husband himself when no
contested her action for annulment.
when the case came up yesterday
Berus wanted a two weeks adjourn
ment, but II was denied.
The divorce action was filed after
Justice Cohalan had refused to grant
an annulment. Mrs. Berus had asked
for tho annulment on the ground that
when she married Berus she under
stood him to he a lawyer with a COM
Portable income. Instead, she alleged.
she discovered that he had been con-
fined on Blackwell's Island for a mis-
demeanor. and never had been ad-
mttcd to the bar.
The trial lasted three days. Berus's
defense was that after his wife had
found out certain things about him
she had forgiven him. He said thoy
were together at the Hotel Gerard on
Dec. ~, 1918. This was after the
time when. she said. she had left her

MISS ANNE MARTINS
PETITION is DENIED

Regents of the University of Ne
vada, in session today. refused to
accede to a request by Miss Anne
Martin, president of the Nevada
Equal Suffrage leage, that the reso-
luton passed several months ago,
prohibiting the use of the univer-
sity's name in connection with the
College Equal Suffrage league, be re-
scinded, says the Gazette.
In addition to personal requests
to members of the board of regents,
it was stated today that a letter ad-
dressed to the board had been writ
ten by Miss Martin, asking that the
resolution be rescinded on the ground
that it was class legislation.
Regent Henderson today made
the statement that in going about the
state he had observed sentiment
closely and as a result of his obser-
vations is firmly convinced that the
question of votes for women would
be settled without according women
the ballot if it was left to the women
TO decide. His observat ons. he said
cover the district from Reno east
ward. as he has not travelled during
recent months in southern Nevada.
The regents today approved the
changes in organization at the uni
versity, creating three deanships.
and approved selections of men to
fill vcancies in various departments.

AMALGAMATED PIOCHE
PROPERTY SHOWS WELL

The Amalgamated Phoebe, as we'll
as other mines of the district, gave
their employees a two-days' vacation
over the Fourth. Developments at
shaft No. 1 of the former continues
to be of a most gratifying nature and
the ore on the fourteenth level is still
showing up satisfactorily. During the
past few days the miners have been
going through a broken zone with the
ore showing more bunchy than last
week, but the Sampling beng done as
the work progresses indicates that a
very large portion of the ledge is
shipping rock.
The water is increasing as the
Black Ledge winze is approached, but
has not appeared in such volume but
what pumps can easily take are of
it.
The water in the winZe is sinking,
so Mr.. Van Wagenen states. at the
rate of about 8 inches per day.
The big stope on the 1900 also con-
tinues to show good results as devel-
Opment goes along the ore is coming
from that source constantly. The first
shipment of lead ore from the 400
level, it is expected, will be brought
down over the Phoebe Pacific high
line today.-Pioche Record.

FORMER NEVADA
LAWYER SOUGHT
VOLVING DISAPPEARANCE
OF WOMEN

Victor f. Ennis, a former attOr-
ney of Carson City, is being sought
by the police of San Francisco in con-
nection with a deep mystery con-
cerning the whereabouts of two Sis
ters, Mrs. Eloise Neims Dennis and
Miss Beatrice helms of Atlanta, Ca,
and the alleged threat of Mrs. Den
mis- to kill her brother, Marshall
Nelms, of the coast city, expressed
in a letter to her mother, who re-
sides in the southern metropolis.
Mrs. Dennis obtained a divorce
from her husband, Walter N. Dennis,
a printer of Atlanta, Ca, in the dis
trict court of Ormsby county in May
of last year on the ground of fail
ure to provide. Ennis acted as her
attorney in the proceedings and is
said to have subsequently become en-
gagged to the divorce. The brother
of the two missing women, a nation
wide search for whom is being made,
says his sister, Mrs. Dennis, entrust'
ed $4,000 to Ennis keeping, and he
believes that the much-sought at
torney is OBTAINING the two women
at some unknown place against theii
will.

%COLORAOO'S COAL
OUTPUT DECREASES

The production of coal in Colora-
do in 1913 was 9,232,51O short tons,
valued at $14,035,09O. Compared
with 1912, the returns for 1913 show
q decrease of 1,745,314 tons, or 49,
per cent, in quantity and of $2,310,-
246, or 14.13 per cen in value. The
smaller production in 1913, ccord
ing to E. w. Parker of the United
States geological survey, was due
entirely to a strike, called on Sept.
16 and put into effect a week later,
which reduced the output in the
southern part of the state for the
rest of the veal to about 40 per cent
of the normal. The production in
1913 was the smallest since 1903. AS
in numerous other instances of labor
~disaffection, the trouble in Colorado
arose from a demand for a recognl-
ton of the union and led to a contest
which for bitterness. violence and
b~loodshed has exceeded any similar
conflict in recent history, necessitat-
ing first the state militia and finally
the presence of federal troops. A
COlultIOH " otiA SHA'Sot ~
though mining has been resumed
with nearly a full complement of
men under the protection of federal
authorities. Few of the mines were
entirely idle at any time during the
strike, and although 1924 men
(more than 60 per cent of the aver
age number employed during the
year, were idle for an average OF
rs days each, the average number of
DAYS the mines worked was 229, or
two DAYS more than in 1912, when a
production of practically 11.OOO,O 900
tons was mined without a single in
stanc of strike or suspension being
reported. The total time lost was
equal to 90 per cent of the time
made, from which it appears that eX-
cept for the strike the production for
the year would have amounted to
about 100000 tons, or within half
a million tOns of the maximum rec
ord of 1910. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether, even if there had been no
interruption by strikes, the output
would have reached that tonnage or
even the record of 1912, for owing
to crop shortage in adjoining states,
there was a reduced demand for
both railroad and commercial coal.
The miners of Colorado have a
good record for efficiency. In 1912
the average production by each man
employed was S44 tons. and in 1913
it was $50 tons.
Reports to the bureau of mines
show that there were 10S fatal acct
dents in the coal mines of Colorado
in 1913, an increase of 13 owe 1912,
