SEEK REVOCATION OF
LICENSES At RUTH

The prohibition movement at Ruth
was inaugurated last Tuesday. when
the petition o. 217 residents at the
mines was considered by the commits
%sioners, asking for the revocation of
all saloon licenses. Evil days have
not yet fallen upon the thirst parlors
in that neck of the woods as the ON
misioners decided to take the mat
ter under %adyisement until the next
regular meeting of the board. Resi-
dents of Ruth, who are anxious to
have their territory placed in a dry
zone. we're in attendance at the meet
ing and advanced their views before
the board.
G. Il. Wilson stated that the petit
ton for the elimination of saloonswas
circulated because the general pub
lie was against the location of the
saloons because they were situated
in such close proximity to the resi-
Dental section that they were regard
ed as a public nuisance.
Some of the saloons are frequent
ed by women Of i'll repute," said Mr..
Wilson, "and the general immortality
emanating from those places has a
demoralizing effect upon the school
children. besides degrading general
moral conditions"
Mr.. Wilson commented upon the
fact that two persons had been sem
to the ~penitentiary from Ruth, and
that the small amount paid for Ii.
eenses was inefficient to cope with
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1915-05-09

the crimes that have been committed
in that neighborhood.
l.. G. Acocks asserted that the sa-
looms We're a disgrace TO the com
munity. He stated that children
reared in such surroundings learned
more of evil than of good. Mr..
Acoeks wanted the thirst emporiums
moved to Riepetown or Ely. He said
that some children we're practically
raised in the saloons.
J. NJ. Kellogg informed the commits
%sioners that the movement to wipe
cut the saloons had been instigated
by Superintendent Il. Z. Vanderhoef.
He intimated that il was not. a one
man proposition. but represented the
combined efforts of a community that
desired better moral conditions.
Chairman Weber asked Mr.. Kellogg

petitions, and received a reply in the

children We're being brought up in an
undesirable environment. He stated
that employees had received instruc-
tons from Mr.. Vanderhoef that they
would be discharged If they crossed
certain lines leading to the saloon
district.
Mrs. G. Z. Wilson said that she
had investigated conditions at Ruth
and declared that little children who
live on the hill made it their bust
hess to inform others of the same age
of vices that they should not know
at such an early age. She said that
1t was impossible to protect the inno-
cence of the children under present
conditions.
Mrs. J. +. Eudey stated to the
board that mothers and fathers gen.
orally were behind the movement for
better conditions at Ruth, and as

man that there the statement was
not true. He also stated that Mr..
Vanderhoef had learned as a result
of a recent visit to the plant of the
Becker Brewing company at Ogden
that the men employed were not per-
mitted to use their own brew. Mr..
Wilson said that Mr.. Vanderhoef
thought that the adoption of a SINH
lar policy at the mines would produce
beneficial results, at the same time
issuing orders hat all employees who
INDUCED in intoxicants should be dis
charged.

GORDON AND OUvAL
TO FIGHT TEN ROUNDS

The sporting part of the Ely dis
triet reeks with fight talk, since Aris
Duval and George Gordon of MCCALL
attached their signatures last Monday
night to articles calling for a ten
round clash in Ely on June 5. The
affair is being promoted by the Cap
itol Amusement company.
Quiet has reigned in boxing circles
for the last ten months and the pugil-
istic fanciers are highly elated v
what they designate as a choice NOR
sci. Both participants realize that
boxing is a funny business and feel
certain that their efforts will be fa-
vorably received by the enthusiasts
at the box Office.
Duval wanted to be assured that
the financial end of the mixup would
not be lacking before he indicated his
Willingness to don his fighting toys.
Gordon being confident of his ability
to trip his opponent n the brief en-
Igagement was willing for those hand
ling the match to guarantee Duval
s175 if he won, with the understand
ing that his share of the gate re-
Iceipts would be $25 less if the affair
terminated in a draw or if Gordon
should be declared the victor. Cor
don is not asking any guarantee and
is willing to take what money Is left
after Duval's share has been de-
|ducted.
To begin with, each of the partici-
pants is a clean liver. Both are what
the railbirds of pugilism characterize
as good trainers. Evidence of correct
manner of living leaves the question
of fitness as something that balances
evenly. The question of pluck, again,
which is a basis of figuring is removed
from the reckoning, as each lad is
considered to be as game as the ira
ditionai pebble.
Those who saw Duval in his two
bouts with Tommie Geraghty know
that he is not given to backing up.
Gordon has a penchant for close
fighting and whirlwind exchanges

which are bound to thrill the spec
tators will feature the engagement.
There will be no rumors of neglected
training, for both mitt artists got
busy almost before the ink was dry on
the articles. Let it never be said
that careless or faulty preparation
will contribute to the defeat of
either.
The articles were witnessed by c.
L.. Osterlund, l.. Sullivan and Robert
McGhie. Doris Duval looked after
his brothers interests, and J. B. Hol-
ton signed the agreement n behalf
of Gordon. The contestants agreed on

serted that no one had been forced
TO sign the petition.
Attorney c. A. Eddy stated that
he had been employed to protest
against the granting of the petition.
He contended that under the statutes
women had no right to frequent sa-
looms. He said that there was no
affidavit to show that the signatures
were genuine, and claimed that the
majority of those who had signed
the petition were not taxpayers. He
intimated that the Ruth district was
as peaeeable as any in the county.
Mr.. Eddy warned the board that if
the retail licenses were revoked that
the saloons could be conducted I'M
der a Wholesale license issued by the
state. Let them try it If they feel
lucky was the reply of District At
torney Zurich. Mr.. Eddy asked why
the residents of Ruth did not make
Specific complaints, If the various re-
sorts were not properly conducted.
Rev. d. J. Ferguson claimed that
the murder comitted It the mines
FIVE years ago was directly due to
the saloons. He commented on the
fact tina. certain remarks made by
Mr.. Eddy were not founded upon
facts. II thought you were a stranger
in this community" said Chairman
Weber. Whether | have been here
one week or n year, | have the
right to speak where a moral prin-
ciple is involved" was Mr.. Fergu-
sons reply.

belief that the trouble in The schools
did not start with the Smilanick chill
dren, who we're accused of frequent

one of the trustees. He stated that
he had been offered $4,000 for his
townsite by b. w. Bergman, but de-
clined the proposal upon learning
that an order had been issued pre-
venting employees of the Nevada Con-
solidated from f%requenting saloons
in that section. Mr.. Mcknight said
that his realty holdings possessed no
intrinsic value aside from townsite
purposes.
p. c. Watt, local agent for the
Becker Brewing company, said that
there had been less trouble at Ruth
during the last eight years than in
any other part of the county. He
thought the company should pur,
