MODELS WILL IMPRESS
SAFETY FIRST" LESSONS

What appears to be a corner OF
Santa Claus workshop just before
Christmas may be seen on the fourth
floor OF the boys department of the
Y NJ. C.. A. Here are found arranged
in neat groups scores of railroad en-
gines and cars, street cars, doll
houses, motorcycles, vehicles and
dolls of all sorts and descriptions.
But this is not a collection for the
Good Fellow fund for the poor of the
city, but rather the result Of hours
OF hard work for the scores OF boys
OF the city that are entering exhibits
in the boys Safety first" exhibition,
which will be held in the Y. NJ. c. A.
building New Years day. beginning
at 2 o'clock.
Each model is designed TO illustrate
a typical accident or dangerous prac-
tice. Here we see a doll pulling a
miniature chair from another Just as
she Is sitting down. There is fax
en-haired young lady who is going. to
light the fire in the cook stove with
gasoline. A sanitary drinking foun-
tain illustrates the dangers OF the
common drinking cup. A toy pistol
carries it's suggestion.
One OF the most unique will be a
moving exhibit arranged by the Y. M.
C. A. in which several street cars
and automobiles will be used TO show
the operation of the traffic rules and
how accidents occur by non-observers.

MORE FIGURES ARE
FILED BY BEMIS
Submits Summary of Details of
y Appraisal of ID. u. r.
Property

The board of street railway com
missioners received from Prof. +. w.
Bemis, Monday afternoon, summary
OF the details of the appraisal OF the
physical property of the ID. U. r., the
total value OF which was announced
by Bemis week ago as $4,000, 900.
The summary covers about hun
dred pages and the details. which will
be filed later, take up about $4,000
pages.
Triplicate copies OF the summary
will be made, one for each commits
sioner. After the members OF the
board have digested the summary il
will probably be made public.
Commissioner James Couzens was
elected president of the board and
Commissioners Wilkie vice-president.
1t was also decided to ask the council
for the $4,000 remaining OF the $780,
900 voted for preliminary expenses in
connection with the municipal owner
ship program, the money to be used
for keeping the appraisal up.to-date
and for expenses in connection with
negotiations with the ID. u. r. for the
purchase OF its plant.

COUNCIL WOULD
CUT WHOLESALE
LIQUOR GRANTS
Aldermen Try To Figure Out
Scheme For Control of These
Licenses
CONNOLLY'S RULING
Is STUMBLING BLOCK
Court Holds That SOlons Have
No Discretion in Dealing
With Applications

The council committee on liquor
regulation finds that II is at present
without authority TO control the grant
ing OF wholesale liquor licenses. Aid.
Maurice Heating makes the charge,
and other members of the committee
agree with him. that many wholesale
liquor licenses are merely shields for
blind pigs" where beer can be pur-
chased by the bottle and whisky by
the half-pint.
Saloonkeepers put out of business
by the council as undesirables can
obtain wholesale license for a nom
inal sum, and the committee Is pow
erless To stop the practice. In re-
cent case, Judge Connolly held that
the Warner-Cramton law does not
limit the number OF Wholesale IL
censes, and that the council has no
discretion in consideration of applica-
tons.
A plan to keep the number OF
wholesale licenses down was discussed
in meeting OF the liquor committee,
Monday afternoon, and IL Is likely that
an ordinance will be drawn restrict
ing wholesale liquor locations In much
the same way that retail locations are
restricted under the present Watson
ordinance.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Tars-
ney disagreed with President Dinge-
man, former chairman OF the liquor
committee, In informing the commit
tee that such an ordinance could be
enforced in the courts.
The committee granted a wholesale
license to Anthony Hrapkiewicz, No.
254S West Jefferson-ave. Several other
petitions were held up. After fight
ing for year, Aid. Anthony Movie
was forced to bow to the will OF the
other members of the liquor commit
tee when transfer was granted An
thony Szparaga from No. TAI Jos.

ASKS PAPA'S BLESSING:
GETS SHOVEL AND JOB

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2s.-Paren-
tai forgiveness often enough imposes
hard conditions on the hasty young
couple, but 1t is not always that they
are met in the willing spirit shown by
young James Irvine, IT,, son OF the
great southern California landholder
OF that name. whose home is at No
2421 Pierce-st, San Francisco.
Young Irvine welded Miss Made
line f. Agassiz, OF No. 1900 Page-st.
The young couple then posted down
to the San Joaquin ranch in Orange
county, the huge landed estate OF the
Irvine family there TO seek forgive
ness and blessing from father.
Papa Irvine Is said TO have been
none too we'll pleased when he learned
that he had a new daughter. but he
extended an immediate blessing in the
shape OF Job. Young James was
told that he would have to support his
new wife, and the bride was informed
that she would have to cook for her
husband.

secretary.
He proposes to combat the attrac-

This will include physical activities,

only for the young people, but for all
the people.

fed for this pioneering job than Wal
ter Schatz The personality, the
punch, as well as the formal training,
is his.
He put himself through the univer-
sity, and went in for all sorts OF ath-
letics. He met a test OF nerve as
we'll as strength last winter. On New
Years day, alone and unaided, he
saved three persons from drowning,
who had broken through the ice In

marking position, and II has found

We have received information since
the shooting, that Schemansky and
his gang had planned TO get Patrol
man Brown, and give him a beating"
says Inspector William II. Good, who
made the investigation Immediately
after the alarm came in.
Early Monday afternoon. the state
ment given out by the police, was that
Brown had fired once in the air, and
then shot again, fatally wounding the
fugitive, when Schemansky kept on
running.
First reports were to that effect"
says Inspector Good, land the fact
that Schemansky ran q block and a
half before he dropped, gave rise to
that report. But only one cartridge
was fired from Browns revolver"
Joseph Senova, alias "Ochie," a
member OF Schemansky's gang, was
arrested with Schemansky, the police
having three larceny complaints
against the pair, they say.
AS the officer started with them to
the patrol box. they struck at him,
from both sides. according 10 Inspec-

Coroner Burgess decided, Monday
afternoon. that the shooting OF Sche-

PREVENTING COMPETITION


Gilbert Ross. secretary of the
Nevada Panama Pacific directors,
is doing his level best to curry
favor with builders and contractors
of his home town by limiting adj
vertising for construction work to
the papers of that city. This mar
row pinheaded policy is strictly in
accord with the cramped conceit
of the lieutenant governor, who
cannot see beyond his nose in a
business proposition. In contrast
with the course of the exposition

EXCURSIONS FOR
MURDERER Uric

In the Hotel Golden arrivals at
Reno. the other day, appeared the
names D.. S. Dickerson. N. Uric.
While it was known that Dickerson
is warden Of the penitentiary, it
was supposed that Uric was con-
fEei in that institution at hard
labor. Imagine the chagrin of
HUMBOLDT county taxpayers when
they learned that this prisoner; for
whose conviction and Imprisonment
they spent thousands of dollars, is
now chauffeur !or Warden DicBer-
son, taking frequent pleasure jaunts
to outside points, during which he
puts up at first class hotels.
This news following so closely
upon the parole of Preston would
seem to indicate that the penal
laws of Nevada are only a joke and
the penitentiary a playhouse. Uric
was convicted Of one of the black
est crimes ever perpetrated in the
sfate-the murder of the Outlets,
husband and wife at INLAY. But
for the stupidity of a blunderin n
district attorney, who placed the
younger man and in a measure an
accessory to the murder on trial
first, Uric would have been hanged.
AS his companion in iDfamy, by
taking a change of venue to Washoe
county, had escaped with bis neck
at his first trial, with q slim prog
pect of v e being hanged, the
state board of pardon commuted
the sentence Of Uric to life impris-
onment a few hours before he was
to have been executed.
And still good citizens hold up
their hands in horror and wonder
at the frequency of murders in this
stats.-Silver State.
