YOUTH is PARoLED
INTO CUSTODY OF
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

At a meeting of the board of parole
yesterday, the application OF Claude
Phillips, who was convicted q few
days ago for the crime OF forgery,
was paroled into the custody of Sup.
erintendent Matthew Kyle OF the In
dustrial school. This action was TAX.
en- on the advice of the district attor-
ney Of Elko county, who asked that
the prisoner, who Is but II years of
age, be paroled into the custody OF
Mr.. Kyle and that the sentence Of
from 1 to Ia years be served at that
institution. The boy was taken to the
institution yesterday. The plan of
paroling the young man into the Gus.
tody OF the superintendent of the in.
dustrial school after being sentenced
to the penitentiary was followed out
for the reason that at any time he be.
comes unruly or escapes he can be
brought back to the prison to serve
the entire term.
The members of the board also
heard the appeal Of Mrs. TANNER
for the life of her son. who is under
the death sentence at the penitentiary,
but until formal application has
been filed with the board no action
will be taken in the matter.--Carson

SUPREME COURT
ORDERS RELEASE
OF w. W. BOOTH

A petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus was filed in the supreme court
late yesterday afternoon for the re-
lease of w. w. Booth, proprietor of
the Tonopah Bonanza and who was
sentenced to six months Imprisonment
several days ago at Tonopah upon the
charge of gross misdemeanor. The
writ was Immediately issued, return
able on next Wednesday before the
court and an order was further made
that Booth be forthwith released from
prison upon filing with the clerk of
Nye county a bond in the sum of
$4,000. The writ was telegraphed to
Tonopah Immediately after issuance
by the attorneys in the case, Plat G.
Sanford of this city and Milton M.
Detch, of Goldfield, and word was
shortly afterwards received that Booth
would be released last night as soon
as his bond could be drafted and
signed.
The ground for the writ is that the
jury returned an improper verdict in
the case in that the defendant was
charged with the crime of criminal
libel and the jury returned a verdict
of gross misdemeanor; that the
jury should have found the defendant
either guilty or not guilty of the Of
Tense charged. the crime OF a gross
misdemeanor not being a lesser Of
Tense embraced In the crime charged
in the information and therefore the
jury could not properly return a ver-
dict for 1t. That the defendant was
sentenced for the crime of a gross
misdemeanor in accordance with the
verdict of jury and therefore he is
wrongfully deprived of his liberty.
Booth was charged with criminal
libel in connection with some decided
ly caustic article he published con-
corning the county commissioners of
Nye county and the district attorney
of the county in connection with
county affairs.

MRS. PANkHURST
-"CRIMINAL."

Our immigration laws leave much
to be desired; so does the administra.
ton of them. When Mrs. Pankhurst,
coming from England to raise funds
for Serbian relief, is held up at Ellis
Island on the ground that she is a
criminal" there is obviously some
thing wrong with the system.
It's the second time Mrs. Pankhurst
has had this experience. When she
came to America in October, 1913, to
deliver suffrage lectures, she was de-
tanned by the immigration authorities
and ordered deported because she had
been convicted of a crime" in Eng
land. Her defense was that the al.
legged crime was purely political in
nature, and that she had as plain a
constitutional right to enter the Unit
ed States as any other person con-
victed OF political offense in a for
eign country. There was some doubt
about the legal problem, so President
Wilson cut the knot by setting aside
the order of deportation, and she was
permitted to go ahead with her lee.
lures.
That precedent might be supposed
TO have settled her status once for all
But when she came on a purely phil
anthropic mission, in a cause fol-
which the American people have genu
Inc sympathy, she met another re
buff. She was allowed to leave Ellis
Island only on sufference, as If she
were in reality criminal who needed
watching instead of being one of the
most useful women in the world.
And this happened in the same port
that welcomed General Huerta, the
murderer of President Madero, when
he came, as it now appears, to start q
new Mexican revolution backed by
German gold for the discontinue OF
the United States.

COURTESY
FOR MOTORISTS.

The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce has been trying to figure
out a system whereby motorists may
get along more amicably And 1t
seems to have concluded that the SO.
luton Of motorist problems depends,
more than anything else, on plain
courtesy. Every section of the new
code ends with the admonition, "Be
courteous"
Drivers are urged to resist the speed
craze, to avoid footing their horns
needlessly. to give passing car plen-
ty OF room, to pay heed to safety
zones in crowded places, to refrain
from trying to sneak ahead at a street
crossing, not to turn across the track
In front OF street car, not to hinder
pedestrians who want to get from the
sidewalk to a car, to be careful of the
child at the curb or roadside who
shows an inclination to dart across in
front, to be courteous to the police in.
stead of trying to outwit or defy them.
All these are practical safety recon.
mendations, but they all have In them
the basis element of courtesy. And
they seem to serve as a reminder OF
the fact, for some reason or other,
people who in their ordinary human
relations are uniformly regardful of
others rights often forget them when
seated in an automobile.
The pedestrian public, however, has
It's duties too. Some persons show
perverse inclination to disregard the
rights OF automobiles, seeming to dare
drivers to run them down. II drivers
are to be courteous to the general
public, they may reasonably expect
courtesy in return.

the Allies had plenty Of time to shape
their policy and assemble their forces,
they undertook-or pretended - TO
fight for Serbia; and the present
plight OF Serbia speaks for itself.
The latest object OF the Allies
cheerful and powerful aid is Monte
negro. That valiant little nation
with an army of perhaps 10000 ruen-
has just laid down its arms, succumb-
ing to an overwhelming Austrian
force. Montenegro Joined the Allies
early in the game, and fought for
them zealously and effectively, just
as she fought bravely for freedom
against the Turks in the late Balkan
war. And for the first time in several
centuries this smallest of European
fighting nations is conquered.
The task of saving Montenegro was
| left, apparently, to Italy. And Italy
doesn't seem to be concerned with
anything except "redeeming" the ter
ritory she claims as Italian in popu-
idiLOh. OIiS ldu W III
that job, TO be sure; and yet, it's hard
to understand why she didn't so 10
Montenegro's aid, especially since
brave old King Nicholas is the father
OF the Queen of Italy, and since the
conquest of Montenegro gives Austria
a strategic position on the Adriatic
! that menaccs Italy more than ever.
