DOES CONSTITUTION BAR
M'(ARRAN FROM SENATE? +?

The Tonopah Bonanza calls attention
| to the fact that Judge McCarran is dis
qualified from becoming a candidate
for the United States Senate, owing to
the following provision in the state
constitutions
Article 6, Section IL: ''The justices
of the Supreme Court and the district
Judges shall be ineligible to any office
other than a judicial office, during the
term for which they shall have been
elected; and all elections or appoint
ments of any such judges by the people
legislature or otherwise, during said
period to any office, other than Judi.
c:al. shall be void.''
Commenting on the above constitu.
tional provision, the Bonanza says, in
part:
The section of the constitution OF
the state of Nevada which is quoted
above is most clearly worded There il
an absolute prohibition in the clause
against resigning to accept another of
flee that is non-iudicial, for the clause
states durng the term for which they
shall have been elected Tt is very
clear that the trainers of the constitu.
tion had in mind particularly the can
didacv for United States senatorship.
inasmuch as the words appear. "legis-
lature or otherwise - At the time the
constitution was framed, there was but
one office TO which election was caused
BY the legislature and that was the
unper house of Congress. IT is also
clearly ennnciated in the section that
the election referred to shall be not
merely voidabie but void. This is in
aicative that the trainers of the con.
stitution were emphatic in their ruliuo
te make il impossible for supreme
court justices to seek political prefer
ment during their term Of office. The
reason for such emphasis is clear. A
supreme court Justice has every opnor.

machine for himself He l. a court ~

LIFEBOAT MADE OF PAPER
Japanese Has Constructed Vessel
That 10 an Improvement Over
All Others.

A paper lifeboat that can be packed
away in a space of about one cubic
foot, but which, when inflated, is sea-
worthy and durable. is the invention
of retired admiral of the Japanese
navy. The boat is constructed from
Japanese paper called "hashikirazu,
which is treated chemically to make
1t waterproof The paper comes from
the mulberry tree. 1t is unusually dur
able, and possesses great strength
when the stresses are In the direction
of the fiber
A thin sheet OF paper that is strong
when stressed in any direction is
made by pasting together two sheets
with the fibers crossing at right
angles. This is the way in which the
paper boats are constructed. The
first boat manufactured by the admir-
al consisted merely of a large pillow
with a depression in the center, the
whole being inflated with air. Be-
cause of the ease with which paper
can be punctured, Ii was necessary to
change the method OF construction, SO
several pipe-like bags were made and
placed side by side IN the form of a
raft. which finally was modified to the
form of a boat
The result is lffe-saving craft
practically immune to wreck, for even
If one or two OF the pipes are pune
tured or broken. the boat still has
sufficient buoyancy to be seaworthy
Owing to its strength and lightness,
and it's waterproof qualities, this pa
per is evidently adapted to wide
range of uses. among which are the
making of coverings for aeroplans
wings and for dirigible balloons.

COUNTY PRODUCES THREE
QUARTERS USUAL HAY CROP

The first crop of hay has been put
up and on the average for the county
amounts to about * per cent of the
usual cut While the deficiency is due
in degree to lack of water, the late
cold spring had considerable To do with
the shortage. II is estimated that the
second ercp win be harvested in the
Iovelock valley commencing about
August 10, and that the balance of the
county will be some weeks later This
crop is liable to be much shorter than
the one just harvested, as the river is
lower than at this time of the season

MEXICAN CUT IN FACE
DURING DRUNKEN BRAWL

Last night while Manuel Lopez was
standing at the bar in the Busch hotel,
another Mexican stepped up behind
knife. The blade passed through the
brim of Lopez's hat, catching him near
the corner of the right eve and cutting
a cash in his face about three inches
long The injured man was taken to
Dr. Giroux's office, where the wound
was dressed, and from there he was
sent to the county hospital. The as
sailant made his escape, but as there
has been no complaint sworn he will
probably not be apprehended.

WAR STIMULATES
ANTIMONY OUTPUT
lspecial to the siIver statel


LOVELOCK, New, July 29.-Al-
though strictly neutral in the Ameri-
eanized sense of the word, Humboldt
county is in no way bashful about tax
ing her profits on antimony, popularly
supposed to be needed for bullets on
the other side where they are hurting
lead and antimonv pellets around re-
gardless. Fancy war prices and insa-
table demand have been strongly felt
here for the past three months, result
ing already in the rehabilitation Of
several old properties and the opening
Of new ones with many prospects that
are expected to develop into the mine
class. In the past 60 days three car
loads of antimonv have been shipped
ont to New York and Los Angeles,
bringing returns Of $500. In another
two months this sum will be duplicated
if not doubled.
All Of this antimonv has come from
within a radius of 30 miles Of this city,
the largest deposits being within IA
miles
OF the old properties that have been
brought to life by higher prices are
the old Sutherland or Black Knob
vada Packard, now being operated by
+. 9. Miller, of the Magnolia Metal
company, New York and San Francisco.
and the Bloody Canyon property, IA
miles from Mil City( owned by the
First National Bank Of Winnemueca.
The first named property has sent
ont two carloads Of 40 per cent anti
nopy ore through Loveloek and the
latter is preparing carload of so per
cent stuff for shipment.
II. G. Walker. an assayer Of Love
lock, who has been the most active in
dividual in the search OF antimony
prospects through the spring, and who
is now buying all the ore in sight for
speculation, is producing from FIVE diff
ffrent mines all in the vicinity of
Loveloek within a radius Of 90 miles
These properties are in Wild Horse
canyon, at Antelope Springs. Oreana
and Cottonwood Creek. Through Mr..
p NJ Shelby. Of the Western Metals
company Of Los Angeles. who is max
ing his headquarters here. Mr.. Walker
has Just shipped carload of ore to
Los Angeles that is expected to return
$4,000
John w Callinan, Of Toronto, has
inst started opening property at
wild Horse and other prospects are
being developed with new discoveries
reported every few days.
Robert Brown, local representative
Of the Magnolia company. Is reported
to have purchased the Wells property
north Of Jungo, and is looking for
other likely prospects in this vicinity
Solomon & Black have taken hold of
the Bernicc mine 80 miles south Of
Lovelock and are operating
1t is reported from Battle Mountain
and Austin that number Of properties
il, those localities have become active
and are expected to produce n tonnage
equal to that sent out from this city.
Antimony has been advancing so
consistently and the causes for the de
mand being as constant as ever with
little immediate prospect Of change,
this district viii benefit greatly by the
stimulated industry. and should reap a
fat harvest long before the reaction
comes, as is probably inevitable.

BOMB MAKING FACTORY BELONGING TO HOLT SAID BY POLICE TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED IN LONG ISLAND

New York, July 7-Positive evi- dence showing that Holt had a, secret store house for his explosives, and that he experimented there with bombs and also practiced revolver shooting, was discovered on Long Isl and yesterday.
 A little bungalow on the outskirts of Central Park, a secluded hamlet six miles from Syosset and about 12 miles from Glen Cove, is where Holt, under the pseudonyn of Totten, conducted his experiments He eft there on the morning of Friday, July 2. That night the Capitol was dynanfted, and the next morning the f1nancier was attacked.
 Police Seeking the Dynamite.
 It was at this same place that Holt stored the 120 pounds of e1plosfve e which he received, as told in yester- days papers, under the name of c. Hendricks at Syosset about a week before. The police were eagerly searching for the dynamite last night. When he went away from Central Park July 2 he expressed a, trunk weighing 40 pounds from the Long Island village to the Pennsylvania Railroad station in this city. Ap- parently the explosive was in that trunk.
 There was a report last night that
 
 neighb orhood of Thirty-third street
 and Eighth avenue, and the police were making a minute examination of all the houses thereabouts in the hope of finding the trunk containing the dangerous material.
 It also developed that Holt may have had an acconplice in his bomb making at the Central Park house. Though no one was seen there with him, the man from whom he received the shipment of dynamite at Syosset recalled yesterday that Holt, when he called for the explosive during the week before, was accompanied by a sto1id-Iooking man.
 Hundreds Identified as Holt
 The assailant of MT. Morgan was identified beyond all doubt as the man who got the dynamite at Syosset as Hendricks and the man who prac- tised target shooting and manufactur- ed bombs at Central Park.
 Chief Constable McCahiH of Glen Cove, who has been securing Long IsI- and ever since MT. Morgan was shot, heard yesterday that there had been a lot of gossip about Central Park concerning a strange man who had rented a tiny bungalow which stands in a thick clunp of pine trees on the outskirts of the hamlet.
 About 10 days ago, McCah1n learned, this man, staIL snooth-shaven, and with 2. receding chin, alighted from a train at Central Park and approached. Richard Ruase1l, a resident of the place He asked if Russell could tell him where he could find Louis Ott, g. real estate man of the village. Ott was. not about at the time, so the stranger who volunteered to Russell that his name was Hendricks and that he was an invalid, strolled about the village 1intili the real etsate man re-

elbb that removal to the Nassau county hospital WAS considered yester Ray by the authorities as the only means of saving him from death Holt lay On his cot all day yesterday the mere wreck of a human being
 Earlier in the day he had made an other attempt at suicide by severing an artery in his wrist with the lead pencil he borrowed to write the note that was later found in his cell
 This attempt occurred Just before sdaytbreaax yesterday. Taking off the metal casing of the eraser on the end of a lead pencil he borrowed from Jerry OTRyan, his guard, Holt fiat tened the two sides together with his teeth and made a, crude knife.
 But his nerve failed him at the last minute, and after Jagg1ng his wrist until a vein was opened he was found writhing in agony on his cot, and re- ceived medical attention.
 About 10 o'clock last night Holt, who had been tossing about restIess9y in his cell, called to OsF2yan, who was walking up and down outside on the ttier. The guard swent into the cell and found the prisoner almost in a state of collapse He had not been able to sleep for four. nights, and all food offered to him he had rejected.
 ssI want to sAeep and can't ,'' was the agontz4ng cry that greeted O'Ryan.
 Keep quiet and maybe you can,' g the guard responded.
 'sNo, you are ali making too much noise, Holt replied. Please keep as quiet as you can. And don't come

near me.''I
 This aroused O.Ryan's suspicious, he afterward said, in view of Holt's attempt on his Nife earlier in the day, and he did not leave the front of the cell for a full half hour. In the mean time Holt was moaning and tossing about and begging the guard to leave him alone.
 At half past ten o'clock o'Ryan found 1t necessary to go to the other end of the tier and for five minutes he was busy at some other duty. His back was toward the cell occupied by Holt.
 Explosion Calls Guards to Cell
 Owing to the prisoners condition he had not been placed in a regu1a- ton cell, but occupied one of several good-sized rooms adjoining the sher- iff's office, where prisoners specially favored are sometimes confined. As O'Ryan turned to go back to Holt he heard what he says was either an explosion or the fall of a lot of boards. Half of the lights in the place were out at the time, and the tier was partly in darkness. The noise came from the cell of Holt. O'Ryan ran to she door. Only one light was burning inside. and that in a corner.
 In the pool of light thrown by the single g1ea1n from the electric bulb into corner of the cell lay the body of Holt doubled up. From the top of his head, which was shattered, ran rdvuIet of blood. O'Ryan hurried to the body just as Warden Hultz, who was upstairs in bed. and who had

When I heard the noise entered his cell and looked around for him. found his body lying in one corner in a. pool of blood. Holt had been very talkative earlier in the evening and had asked me to keep things quiet, because he wanted to s1eep.'
 All was confusion in the jail after the death of the prisoner was dis covered. The authorities rushed around as though they were dazed, and it was impossible to obtain a coherent statement from anyone of them, with the result that there were conflicting stories concerning the manner in which the crazed man met his
