QUESTIONS AT ISSUE.
Governor Has Five Days From Time
Bill is Presented 10 Him to Indicate
His Position.

Richmond, Va, February IT,
The Williams enabling act was
signed by Lieutenant Governor El-
Tyson and Speaker Cox in the pres
ence of the two houses yesterday
and laid before Governor Start
shortly before 2 o'clock Governor
Stuart was just leaving his office
to attend the luncheon rendered him
by his chief of staff, and has not as
yet taken the matter under conside-
ration. Senators Mapp and Walk
er, for the supporters of the bill,
and Senator Early, for the opposl-
ton, filed their written statements
or briefs this morning before 10
o'clock. the Governor having indica-
ted that he would allow up to that
time for the reception of such pap
ers.
In his statement on the subject
the Governor said that he would not
see delegations which merely de-
sired to make appeals to him for or
against the bill, but would consider
written briefs, and as to the parlla-
mentary and constitutional ques-
ticas involved, would seek adv!c"
Of authorities of his own selection.
The Governor has five days from
the time at which the bill is pre-
sented to him TO indicate his posi-
ten Dry leaders We're positive IN
their claims last night that he
would sign the bill, leaving all ques-
tions of parliamentary procedure to
the two houses which passed it, and
OF constitutionality to the COURTS
where the matter will inevitably
go. Opponents were as positive thar
as the Governor had been in the
Constitutional Convention, and was
an authority on that document, ne
would not lightly go in the face O!
what appeared to them to be It's
nloio provision that the hill required
twenty-one votes for its passage IT
the Senate.
1t was stated last night that ar
clement outside of the Legislators
had expressed the hope that the
Governor will sign the bill, so thai
the point Of it's constitutlonaIity
NAV be raised in the courts later
when the General Assembly has
adjourned and there is no posSloll-
itv of passing new bill BY con-
stitutional vote. In any event, the
fart that the Governor has asked
FOR briefs is taken to indicate 4
doubt in his own mind. which oppo-
nents of the bill claim would give
a strong foot-hoId for its review by
the courts.

Pythian Jubilee

Special ritualistic services COM
memorating the semi-centennial of
the order of Knights of Pythias were
held Thursday night by Esmeralda
Lodge No 16, of Hawthorne. In
every Pythian lodge in existence
like services were conducted and the
golden jubilee in commemoration of
the birth of the order was fittingly
and impressively observed.
The ritualistic service was per-
formed by the officers of the lodge
The golden jubilee of the order was
explained in tie following manner:
''It was on Friday evening, the
10Th of February, 1864, in Washing
ton, the capital city of the United
States, that Justus Harry Rathbone
first gave to the world the thought
and conception with which he was
inspired by the ancient Greek story
of Damon and Pythias, by reading
to twelve of his friends who had met
with him, ritual he had written,
wherein he had made friendship. as
exemplified by these two Grecian
characters, the basic and uuderly-
ing principle. That little gathering
was so impressed that each of them
assumed the obligation of the ritual
aud then and there formed an organ
ization which they named knights
of Pythias. Little did they know
what an institution they were con-
structing; they builded wiser than
they knew, and we rejoice in the
record of achievement that marks fifty
years iu the cause of common hu-
manity".
During the ceremonies the coors
of the order, red, yellow and blue,
were displayed.
The services were public and at
tended by invited guests as well as
by members of the order and the
Pythian Sisters, and at the conclu-
sion an elaborate banquet was SER
we'd, during the progress of which
DR.. f. G. Pache, who officated as
toastmaster, called upon the follow
ing-named members, whose remarks
were enthusiastically applauded:

A Wi.d Night

Married-In San Francisco, Feb. D,
1914, Eugene Grutt of Hawthorne,
Nevada, to Miss Louise Nantes of
Soledad, Gals. f. paper.
As everybody knows, Gene Grutt
is our sheriff and the bride is also
known to our people, having lived
among US nearly year before the
the marriage.
Well, they arrived home about 4
O'Clock on the morning of the 18th
inst. There could have been no
doubt of that for the inhabitants of
Hawthorne were awakened from
their beauty sleep by the noise OF
giant powder The bombardment
was kept up for about an hour, much
To the Indignation of those of US who
wanted more sleep.
From 6 a. m. to D. m there was
comparative quite in the town, but
at the latter hour it was learned that
the newlyweds were at Fred Wal
lace's house, and thither advanced
the young and the old, each bearing
an ear.splitting instrument. At a
given signal the 'band" began to
play. Millions pandemonium was as
village churchyard in comparison.
Chickens, horses, dogs and even the
stoical burro sought safety in fight.
After felicitating the happy pair,
the invaders took charge of the
/ groom, brought him 'overtown' and
visited the various thirst-provoking
| factories.
The orators of the night were
lifted, willy-nilly, on card tables,
| billiard tables or shuttle boards, as
was most convenient. These speak
ers included the blushing groom, his
brother Leo, Hank Mcleod, Johnny
Miller, the Bulletin man, Alvey Mil
! Ter and others, which in the excite
ment were overlooked by our re-
porter.
Then there was vocal music, not
ably a seXtette from the famous
opera "Oh, Hush inharmoniously
rendered by Joe Matthew, Geo.
Waters, Seawell Box, Joe Laiolo, Billy
Box and Top Balzar.
A mouth organ obligato by Otis
Ingalls,, and beautiful dttv by Fred
! Wallace, entitled No more Ill be a
Rover" closed the nights festivities,
and Mr.. Grutt and his torlnentors
sought repose.
