Lived Long Under Water.

A resuscitating machine. such as is
used by the United States government
in mine-rescue work, recently kept a
young woman alive under water for
one hour and ten minutes.
This remarkable feat was performed
during the session of the safety and
sanitation exposition in New York.
Conducted under the direction of for
mer surgeon OF the United States bu-
reau of mines. the test was performed
for the purpose of illustrating the eff
cheney of mechanical respiration.
The breathing mask, which has a
double rubber tube extending to a
hand-operated lung apparatus. was
strapped over the girls nose and
mouth. and she was then placed in
large glass front tank.
Though submerged for one hour and
ten minutes. she did no breathing OF
her own accord.

FIRST ORGANIZATION OF
TEACHERS PENSION BOARD

At meeting of the board of educa-
tion held yesterday the members, in
compliantce with an act of the last leg
islature, organized as a Public School
Teachers Retiring Salary Fund board
newly created body in the manner out
lined by the legislature.
The act provides for the retiring of
teachers who have been in active ser
vice, either as teachers or supervisors
for period of 30 years, and at least
IS years of that time within the state
of Nevada, on pension of $500 per
year.
This is the first meeting of the pen
sion board that has been held and a
great deal of preliminary work will
have to be done before things are run.
ming smoothly. The members decided
to put the law into action and to that
end will have to notify the county
commissioners and the auditors of the
several counties regarding the small
tax that is to be levied in order to
maintain the organization, and in ad.
dition to which the teachers of the
state will be assessed to the amount of
80 per year.
The newly created board has sent
requests to different states who now
have similar law, asking for samples
of the various blank forms that will
be necessary for the working out of
the system.
The teachers pension law has been
taken up by number of other states
and is also exercised in England, Ger
many, France and other foreign eoun
tries, and has been found to be one of
great benefit.
After the business of the pension
board had been completed the members
again met as members of the state
board of education and proceeded with
the transaction of the regular routine
business, which, during the absence of
President Hendricks in the east had
been allowed to accumulate. The board
adjourned to again meet on the 31st
of the present month.-Appeal

SUPT. OGILYIt SOUNDS
WARNING TO TRFSPASSERS

The following bulletin. has been
posted in all Western Pacific stations
and yards of this division:
ITO all Employees;
"Please make it your business at
once to acquaint the employees at your
station, your friends and neighbors,
5. hool teachers, editors and ministers,
with the following facts:
Give thousand trespassers on rail
ways are killed in the United States
each year. A minority are hoboes. Many
are respected citizens. A goodly num-
Der are school children. Using the track
a. short cut" home or to work
often proves a "short cut' to the
grave. Were these 5000 killed in one
accident, the public would rise as one
man to stop it. Occurring as they do,
one by one, the public is lamentably
Indifferent.
"What is needed is an anti-trespass-
ing law in every state.
More lives could be saved by the
enforcement of such laws than by pro-
viding steel cars, installing block sig.
mails, and abolishing grade crossings,
which, if required at one time, would
bankrupt every railroad in America.
The anti-trespassing law will cost no
thing and will afford immediate relief,
leaving the other remedies to be pro-
vided as the needs of the communities
and the financial ability of the inter
ested parties may determine. One life
is as precious as another. Why throw
all the safeguards around the passen-
gers and none around the trespasserf 7
The way to protect the passenger is TO
transport him safely; the trespasser,
to keep him from becoming one. Warn,
therefore, all who walk on railway
tracks that they are in great danger.
"To arouse the public to realiza-
tion of the truth in regard to trespass-
iEg, you are asked to begin cam
paign of education an your circle of in
fiuence. Post this bulletin in a conspic-
uous place and urge upon all that they
read and heed. -
The above is copied from bulletin
recently issued by the safety commit

glad to endorse and adopt it for the
benft of our employees.
You are urged to act Spromptlv and
earnestly upon the suggestions here

VICTIM OF ELKo
SHOOTING SCRAPE DIES

Ramon Yraglien, the Spaniard who
was shot last Saturday night at the
Star hotel by Telesforto Pitaro, died
at the Boiling hospital tn morning at
1870 o'clock. Today District Attorney
Carville, who has been awaiting the
outcome of Yraglien s condition, filed
All information charge against Pitaro
Of murder. His ease viii came up be-
fore, the next session of the criminal
court
The scrape in which the deceased was
injured occurred as the outcome of a
game of cards. The two men quarreled
when suddenly Pitaro drew an auto
matte pistol and commenced shooting.
Four bullets struck Yraglien. The
first shot struck him in the knuekle
when he threw up his hand Two other
shots entered the body, one passing
near the lung and the other striking
near the breastbone. The fourth shot
went through Yraglien s right cheek.
There were only four shots fired and all
took effect. The crowd in the barroom
scattered when the shooting com
menced.
Pitaro when he had emptied his gun
fled. Sheriff Harris was telephoned
and was soon upon the scene with his
deputies and Constable McMurtrey.
They searched the town all night.
About seven o'clock they found Pitaro
sitting on the steps at the courthouse
ready TO give himself up. He said he
had crossed the river after the shoot
ing and had slept out. In crossing the
river he fell into hole and had TO
swim out. He said he threw his gun
away
Yraglien kept saloon at Jack Creek
where he had lived about five years
The game was started in Yraglien s sa-
locn and Pitaro is said TO have lost
$3.50 in cash and checks amounting to
$1,000
Saturday the two men came to Elko
by auto. Both We're armed. They stop
pea at the Star and argument came up
over the checks which ended with the
shooting. The deceased has two bro

MOTORCYCLE RID
tRS Is HOURSLATE

"Cannonball" Baker and Lee Me
Carly did not receive the message from
President Wilson to President Moore,
of the Exposition, that is being relay
ed across the continent by motorcycle,
until 1920 this afternoon. They had
been waiting patiently at Elko since
yesterday morning for the message TO
reach that point, but it came in 2515
hours behind schedule time. 1t is not
probable that any of the lost time will
be made up until the Sierra Nevada
mountains have been crossed, and from
there the distance is so short that but
little time can be gained, and the pros
poets are that President Moore will re-
eeive the message at least "a hours
late. Provided the riders meet with no
mishaps, they should reach Winnemuc-
ca between six and seven O'Clock this
evening.
