NOTES Of THE TONOPAH PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The negative side won. Although
the number of speakers on each side
was unequal, the program was SO ar
ranged that the time awarded to
each side was equal.
The judges were Miss REEVE Of the
Normal school, Miss Bradley Of the
seventh grade, and Miss Sullivan of
the second.
The entire debate was finished in
the usual recitation period Of As
minutes. Miss Bray, the teacher Of
the class in economics, presided as
chairman.
In accordance with previous GUS
tom in this district, a short Easter
vacation has been granted by the
school board, beginning with this
morning there will be vacation until
Monday morning, March s.
The fourth number of 1.-THE Pros
pector," the literary magazine gotten
out by the students of the high
school, was issued yesterday and is
fully up to the standard set in pre-
ceding numbers.

STEEL DRUM PLACED
At BELMONT HOIST
WORK TEMPORARILY CARRIED
ON THROUGH THE DESERT
QUEEN SHAFT

A fracture occurred in the cast
iron drum in the hosting plant of
the Tonopah Belmont Development
company Tuesday evening and, as n
result, operations have since been
curtailed, the Desert Queen shaft
being used for hosting. Today about
70 per cent of the men were at work
and this afternoon new steel drum
will be installed and full compile
ment of men will go on night shift
down the Belmont shaft.
The accident, rather the incident,
was forecasted and a steel drum
ordered and held in readiness Out
side of the diminution of the work
ing force for two days, no damage
was done by the fracture. The work
ings of the Belmont are looking par
ticularly favorable at present. The
faulted segment of the Favorite vein,
which was picked up week or two
ago, shows ten feet of excellent ore.
There are no material changes in
other portions of the property, except
that development work steadily in.

An interesting debate, the result
of much study and careful prepare;
ton, was held Tuesday in the econ
omics class in the high school. So
interesting was the argument that
the judges unanimously expressed
regret that the debate had not taken
place in the assembly room before
the entire high school instead of in
a class room. So even was the con-
test that the judges were nearly a
half hour arriving at a decision as
to the value of the points brought
out by the debaters, the arrange
ment of facts and the delivery.
The question was Resolved, that
immigration is detrimental to the
United States" Speakers on the at
firmative side, Leona Carey, Joe Muir
ply, Laurel Hill. For the negative,
Irma Wardle and Kyle Lutz. The
speakers followed one another In
the same order as their names ap-
pear. The rebuttal was given by Joe
Murphy for the affirmative and by
Irma Wardle for the negative.

killed the men," Sentence will be
pronounced Saturday morning at 10
O'Clock. The crime does not carry
with it the death penalty.
This morning Deputy Sheriff r. j..
Williams obtained from Victor Bar
ron a confession more complete in
detail that that given on the stand
last evening. Barron first repeated,
almost verbatim, his story Of the
murder of Marine and then said that
he pursued DeCosta to the house.
This happened about 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. DeCosta barred himself
in and the defendant burst through
the window, upon which DeCosta ran
out of the house. Barron fired num-
Der of shots and DeCosta responded
by throwing rocks. Finally one of
Barron's bullets, after he had reload
ed the gun, inflicted a wound, when
DeCosta ran into the house and fell
into the rocking chair, when another
shot was fred from the window
which caused death. Barron says
that it was fully an hour after he
killed Marine before he murdered De-
Costa He then started down the
track and, about mile below Raj
ston, he wrapped the pistol and a
number of shells in a handkerchief
and placed the bundle under sage
brush on the west side of the track,
scratching up the loose dirt and con
cealing the package. The confession
was given without coercion and Bar
ron spoke in a matter of fact man
ner.

months redemption period expired,
and sheriff's deed was given.
Shortly after this. according to the
allegations of the King-To1opah Min
ng company. it first learned of the
suit, attachment, etc., and in April.
1913, it fled a suit in the United
States court asking that the judg-
ment, ETC., of the Tonopah district
court be annulled for want of juris-
diction. specifying that the statute
purporting to authorize substitute
service on the secretary of state was
violative Of the fourteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution as
not constituting due process of law,
the argument being that that statute
should contain mandatory require
ment for the delivery by the secre-
tary OF state, when served, of the
papers to the defendant foreign in
corporation, and that inasmuch as
the statute contained no such direc-
ton, it was not due process of law,
because not affording the defendant
corporation notice.
The argument lasted several days.
Sweeny and Morehouse were the
attorneys for the King-Tonopah Min
ing company, which is now owned
by the o'Meara interests, and Mr..
Cooke represented the Lynch in
terests.
The decision is regarded as Of
great Importance, especially II that
statute should be held unconstitution-
al, because in such event 1t would be

DEALERS
WILL OBEY Law
MINORS WILL NOT BE SOLD THE
SEDUCTIVE PAPER
SMOKE

Yesterday, after a talk between
Chief of Police Evans, Justice Of the
Peace Dunseath, and Superintendent
of Schools Smith, the three men
called upon the proprietors of GER
tain store in town and delivered a
vigorous warning in regard to the
sale of cigarettes. 1t had been agreed
beforehand that, If the storekeepers
in question were reasonable, the case
would not be taken to court The
evidence was clear and conclusive.
To mention two instances: Cigarettes
had been sold to a boy of 10 and to
another of Is. The storekeepers
frankly admitted the facts, owned
that they had not done the right
thing and pledged themselves to obey
the law strictly in the future.
The law states that no tobacco
shall be sold to minors. The above
mentioned merchants declared that
hereafter they would not let children
have tobacco even when they brought
written orders from their parents. 1t
is known that such notes are not in
all cases authentic.
The above case was brought to the
attention Of the police by the super
intendent of schools, to whom the
matter was reported by one Of the
teachers. Tobacco was confiscated
and admission secured from some of
the boys that they had been buying
cigarettes from at least one store.
