COURSES POSTPONED

The short courses for farmers and
housekeepers offered by the College
of Agriculture, University Of Nevada,
for November |, 1915 to March a, 1915,
have been postponed to January II, to
March 20, 1910 This change has been
made chiefly to accommodate the
farmers and the boys and girls from
the rural districts. In the last few
months those who have applied for
these courses have requested that they
be allowed to enter the work either
in December or January, so it would
be impossible to be in attendance for
the entire period. Ten weeks each
year is about all of the time they will
devoted TO the short course work and
the most suitable time during the ac-
ademic year is from january 10 to
March 20. 1916

RESTRICTIONS ON COTTON
SHIPMENTS ARE MODIFIED

Washington, March 17.-Great
Britian's restrictions on cotton
shipments have been further modi-
fed to give safe passage to cotton
for which contract of sale had been
made before March 2 as well as cot
ton for which freight engagements
had been made before that date.
The original order permitted only
such cotton as had been both en-
gagged for shipment and contracted
for before that date. In any event
however, the ships must sail not
later than March 81.
The arrangements were made to
permit Americans to fulfill con-
tracts and sales made before the
allies undertook to stop shipments
to Germany.

SUPREME COURT
GRANTS new TRIAL
NEattie Thomas Convicted at Last
Term Of Superior Court Given
New Trial BY Higher Court

The Supreme Court in the last
few days passed upon two eases on
appeal from the Superior Court Of
this county, the cases of Walter
Burton and Matte Thomas, both
charged and convicted Of murder.
Walter Burton killed another ne
gro about a year ago by shooting him
in the head with d pistol in me-
gro shanty in the lower edge Of the
county. He was given trial last
May and has been confined in Jail
since during the pendency Of a mo-
ton for new trial, filed by his
attorney, Judge Ware G.. Martin.
In a few days he win enter upon a
life sentence in the penitentiary.
Matte Thomas was one Of three
defendants indicted at the last Nov
ember session Of the grand jury for
numbering her husband, Ed
mond Thomas, on the Martin plan
tation. One Of the defendants
Boize Watkins was tried and con-
victed and is now serving a life
sentence in the Lee county chain
gang. The solicitor-general did
not consider that he had sufficient
evidence in any way to connect one
Of the defendants with the commits
sion Of the ofense, and Judge
George released him from custody
upon his own recognizance. But
the other defendant, Matte Thorn
as, was tried and convicted, with a
recommendation to life imprison-
nent IN the pentitentiary.
The evidence connecting her with
the crime being entire circumstan-
tial in its nature, the attorney re-
presenting her, J. B. Hoyl, decid-
ed to request the Supreme court to
pass upon the evidence to ascertain
ifi it was considered sufficient tc

along with the Judges charge COW
ering the subject Of education, acc
cessory, etc. was raised, and the
higher court has accorded her a new
trial.

latter defendant, a rather strange,
though not altogether unusual, oc-
currence has TRANSFERRED. Within
