SENATORS TELL IGNORANCE OF
BAL OWN RESOLUTION

Nine state senators, called before
Master in Chancery Mason in the
Fergus suit, testified that they did
not know the Baldwin committee
resolution had been passed by the
legislature.
The complaint of Margaret Haley,
business agent of the Teachers Fed
Grafton, first brought it to their no
tice, they said.
This bears out, to a degree, the
contention of Miss Haley that the
order was passed through the legis-
lature by a trick. 1t gave the COM
mittee and trust press a chance to
throw mud at the teachers union
and paved the way for the Loeb rule.

Rebuilding plans are actively be-

HopeweIl's citizens started to build

Five militia companies from Rich

The powder plant suspended opera

Temporary shacks and tents were
reared to care for destitute populace.
A large part of the city's 10000 in

An unsual cold wave added to the

EXAMINATION OF (OYOTE'S
SKULL DIS(LOSES RABIES

DR.. Mark f. Boyd of the state hy-
gienic laboratory says there is no
question that the mad coyotes now ter
rorizing the inhabitants of northern
Humboldt county, New, are suffering
from the true form of rabies.
In order to settle the question be-
yond doubt, McDermitt physician
last week sent the head of coyote
that had beben killed to the universi
ty and Dr. Boyd made microscopic
examination of the animals S brain He
found the specific bodies called Negri,
which are a certain indication of the
nature of the affliction. Another meth
cd Of determination might have been
used by inoculating a guinea pig and
waiting ten days, DR.. Boyd says, but
it needs to be resorted to only when
the specimen received it not in good
condition or the Negri are not found
on examining cross sections of the
brain.
DR.. Boyd was not informed of any
steps being taken to control the mad
coyote menace.

FINE SCENIC EFFECTS
AT NIXON MONDAY

In "The Winning of Barbara
Worth, the big scenic production pre-
sented at the Studebaker theatre and
which comes to the Nixon opera house
next Monday evening, among other
great scenes, there is given picture
of the desert without blemish. 1t is
a scenic achievement of a moving or
der, for the producers realized that the
fauna and fora, and the human life
in all its achievements and aspirations
are essential factors From the cry of
the babe for water until the sand
storm wipes out every vestige of the
great tragedy that left Barbara name
less, the desert scene is awe-inspiring.
1t is the alpha of scenic artistry with
the omega in the last act of wonder
fully realistic food scene, where the
desert is brought under subsection and
made profitable by the wedding of the
sunshine and the rain.
This thrilling novel by Harold Bell
Wright, which has had a million read
ers, has been given a big scenic pro-
duction by Klaw and Erlanger. The
transplanting of the desert, with its
zephyrs and whirling sand storms, the
true tints of harmonies of lanscape, is
an artistic triumph, while the visual
ization of the western characters with
the varied shadings of the pioneer
mind, the poineer will and the pioneer
conscience, is vivid.
The dramatization consists of a pro-
logue and three acts by Mr.. Mark r.
Swan.
