SUPPORTING THE HOUSE


A man ono spoke with a sheer
about his employer. He lost his job
not because he sneered, bus be-
cause he was out of tune with his
work.
IF you work for a man, in Heavens
name work for him. If he pays you
wages that supply your bread and
butter, work for him; speak well of
him, stand by him and stand ly the
institution he represents. If pat to
a pinch. an ounce of loyalty is worth
a pound of cleverness. If you must
vilify, condemn and eternally dispar-
age. why resign your position. . .
+. But as long as you are a part of
an institution, do not condemn him.
If you do, you are loosening the ten
drills that hold you in the institution,
and the first high wind that comes
along you will be uprooted and blown
away and probably you will never
know why"

WIFE IS CHARGED WITH
ATTEMPTED POISONING
Mrs. N. 3. Cornell of Elko Is
Accused of Administering
Drug to Wealthy
Husband

On a charge of attempting to poi
son her aged and wealthy husband,
Mrs. M. B. Cornell of Elko was
arrested Monday afternoon at her
home in Elko on complaint of Mrs.
II. Massey, a professional nurse, who

large dose of croton oil at breakfast
Monday morning. Mrs. Cornell is
now in the county Jail and her bond
which she failed to secure fixed at
$4,000.
She was housekeeper for Connell
for several years prior to their mar

Connell was formerly a rancher at
North Fork and is reported to be
worth over 500, 000.
Mrs. Cornell Engages Counsel
Tuesdays Elko Independent says:
Mrs. M. B. Connell. who was arrest
ed Monday on the charge of admin.
istering poison to her husband with
the intent to take his life, has en-.
gagged Judge B. F. Curler as her
counsel.
Mrs. Connell's bond was fixed al
$4,000 and her preliminary examina-
ton will be held Wednesday before
Judge Castle.
When the residence was searched
a quantity of poisons of different
kinds were found. We are infol med
however, that the vial of croton oil,
a portion of which is said to have
been given to Mr.. Cornell. has not
been found.

Elko Free Press: John McFarlane,
who spent Saturday in Bullion, says
that the leasers of the camp are max
ing arrangements to begin the ship
ment of ore as the road to the Eu-

BANNER YEAR FOR THE WOOL MAN

The year 1916 is going to prove the
most profitable ever known in the
history of the wool industry-from
the producer to the manufacturer.
According to a writer in the Satur-
day Evening Post, every card, comb.
spindle and loom in the United States
is running. and every factory is de-
handing more wool. None of our
own product is being shipped and
we are importing also at the rate of
400, 900. 900 pounds a year.
The same writer predicts that 40
cent wool is not far off and he sees a
S. advance in the price of mems
wool suits before the Summer is
over Wool blankets. it is almost
impossible to get. This latter as
sertion is evidenced by the recent ex-
perience of affirm right here at home,
or to be more correct, Reno. Last
Fall. this firm ordered 1900 wool
blankets. Up to date only 16 have
arrived, and last week they were in
formed by the manufacturers that
the order could not be completed in
side of Is months. 1t is estimated
that of blankets between six and ten
millions have been sent to Europe
since the wal began.

S. P. IS AFTER TUNGSTEN LAND
Special Agent of Land Office Issues
Warning to Prospectors

Ralph S. Kelley. special agent of
the federal land office, with head
quarters in the Colorado capital, ar
rived in Lovelock early this week to
again take up the investigation of
mineral lands for which patents are
being sought by the Southern Pa
ciic Railroad Company, says the Re-
view-Miner. Mr.. Kelley spent most
of last Summer here and has a very
enthusiastic opinion of the mineral
resources of this portion of Nevada.
Your recent tungsten discoveries
brought me back here" said he,
land | find that many of the new
discoveries are on railroad land"
1.-The railroad is still actively fore
ing their odd sections to patent, and
| think it advisable to again issue a
warning to prospectors and locators
to use the utmost diligence that the
mineral character of their holdings
be brought to the attention of the
department. Whether or not the
locator has knowledge that the rail-
road is applying for patent to the
particularly section in which he is
located he should apprise the nearest
land Office of its mineral character.
THE importance of decisive action
of this nature is best illustrated by
the fact that much of the land which
we decided to be non-mineral in our
work of last Summer has since be-
come valuable for tungsten and
hence not subject to patent by the
railroad company"

WONDERFUL NEW GUN
INVENTED IN AMERICA
Army Officers Think 1t May Be The
Weapon of the Future" Making All
Heavy Cannon Gu. Of Date

"GoPoh ~ ~ e&es
Heavy Cannon Ou. of Date
A model of a new kind of gun,
amazingly simple and effective. was
secretly tried out a few weeks ago
on the Government testing grounds
at Sandy Hook. N. Y. Army officers
who were present we're amazed. and
predicted that the new idea would
put all our modern big guns out of
business.
The new gun is powderless, noise
less. smokeless. powerful, accurate,
and without recoil. 1t is easily and
quickly made. at much smaller cost
than the present big guns. Any
machinist can make it,. 1t can be
carried on a wagon or automobile.
and fired as we'll from a grassy field
or from a small boat. as from con-
crete foundations. Any unskilled
soldier can aim it with surprising ac-
curacy. and fire it. 1t will throw
any kind of missiles-solid shot, ex-
plosive shells. incendiary bombs. gas
bombs, stones or even eggs.
This machine-for it is more a
machine than a gun-was invented
lately in the United States, but its
inventors name has not been made
public.
Though the invention seems so
new, it is really as old as the human
race. 1t was invented. in principle,
by the first boy when he tire : the
first stone. -
To put it more scientifcally the
Harvesting of centrifugal force is
what does the work. Any kind of
engine will run the machines cam,
gasoline or electric.
The first crude working model
could be packed in a dry-goods box.
II threw shots to a distance of Il mile
and a half. so accurately that fifty
shots struck inside of a two-foot ring.
fhe power? An electric motor of
only one-half of a horsepower !!
With more powerful motors there
seems to be hardly any limit to what
the new "gun" can do. 1t can be
regulated to fire one shot a S cond
or one shot an hour, as desired. A
large model will be ready for trial in
a few weeks.

Justice Hughes Favored
For The Nomination

With the Republican National Con-
vention less than one month away,
the situation in that party has cleared
but little. Nobody really knows who
is to be nominated for President.
Not many seem to have been able
wen to make up their own minds as
to what candidate should be nomi-
mated.
The unpledged delegates will prob
ably decide the nomination. To a
majority of those elected Judge
Hughes appears to be acceptable if
he will take it. A strong minority
are for Roosevelt.
The situation alarms the "Old
Guard of Republican politicians
the men who have usually managed
the party in the past. They do not
want either of the two leaders.
These men are carefully studying
the lists, to see if they ian find some
body who would make d really strong
nominee and on whom they could
unite the Republican party. The
material seems uncommonly scanty.

Britain Apologies. to United State.

Great Britain has formerly apollo
gized to the United States for a
slight given to Secretary McAdoo
when he was in Trinidad. No notice
was taken there of the visit of the
Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo, who is

The United States made no complaint,
but the London Times reported the
incident and the British Foreign Of
fee directed the British Ambassador
at Washington to apologize.

81, 900, 900 FOR SUFFRAGE FIGHT

The cause of woman suffrage will
soon receive 81, OOO, 900 from the es-
tate of the late Mrs. Frank Leslie
through a decision of the surrogate
in New York last week. Mrs. Leslie
~bequeathed that amount to Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of
the international Woman's Suffrage
alliance to be used in promoting the
suffrage campaign. Four grand
children of Frank Leslie claimed they
were parties at interest to the es-

the grandchildren were not legatees
and that the residue of the estate
should go to Mrs. Gait.

College Pitcher Has Nine
of Crescent A. c. at
His Mercy.
Joe Martin, Fordham's little veteran

Joe Martin, Fordham's little veteran
twirler, carved niche for himself In
the baseball hall of fame yesterday by
pitching a no-hit game against the
Crescent A. c. in the annual tussle be-
tween the two teams at Bay Ridge.
Fordham won by the score Of to 0.
The game developed into a pitching
duel between Martin and Eggers, the
Brooklyn man. Eggers whitfield eight
of the Maroon batsmen, having twice
as many strike-outs as Martin but
Martins effectiveness showed In the
easy grounders that the Creseents Sc
cured off his delivery.
The Maroon batting order was
changed. Captain Berrigan moving up
from eighth place TO the lead-otf posi-
ton. In the lineup appeared Manager
Raw O'Connell at centre field.
Both changes proved successful, Ber-
riean scoring the only run in the first
inning and 0'Connell making hye put
outs. three Of which were engineered
after long sprints.
The Maroon players reversed the or
der Of the Penn State game, which was
won in the tenth inning by a solitary
score and made their tally IN the first
frame. Berrigan, the first Fordhamite
TO face Eggers, drew pass. McGinn
pushed him to third on single, and
when Viviano sent a long sacrifice fly
10 left field the Maroon captain raced
home. Eggers then struck out Damico
and Hall.
Except for two innings, the third and
the eighth, the Crescents went out IN
one two. three order. In the eighth
Nichols reached third base, the only
New Mooner 70 reach that station dur
ing the game. Martin did not fan any
one until the last three innings, when
ne put more steam behind his pitching.

DON BECK WINS
FOR COLUMBIA
BUT AT A COST
Leftlander Is SO Fast He
Cripples Teams Last
Catcher.

Don Beck, Columbia's star southpaw,
had so much stuff yesterday when he
defeated the Wesleyan nine on South
Field that when the game was over
about all that was left of the Columbia
catching staff was hope that II would
come around in a week or so. Shady
Lane, leader OF the college catchers
last year. had two fingers broken IN
the Pennsylvania game, so that Allan
Temple, Lanes understudy, was behind
the bat when play was called yester-
day.
In the fourth foul tip from a fast
shoot split Temples hand between the
thumb and forefnger. lie will be out
of the game indefinitely. Clute, a
freshman, who succeeded Temple, re-
tired in the seventh with n badly
banged hand. Then Bill Mannion, the
old Hamilton College pitcher and all
around man, who sprained his ankle 80
severely the first day outdoors that he
yet limps, was pressed into service.
Fortunately nothing happened TO Man
Mon, but another casualty on the Blue
and White nine was the fact that Jack
Laird, the speedy middle gardener, had
to retire early in the game when his
injured hip again went bad.
Great pitching by both Beck and
Paul Westcott, the Wesleyan hurler,
featured the contest. The sturdy Co
lumbar allowed only three hits, none
Of them for extra bases, famed ten
men and issued no bases on balls.
Westcott, a big Highlander, also
went we'll and had the benefit Of fine
backstOpping. He allowed the Morn
ingside sluggers but four singles, only
one of which was really a hard-hit
ball. he famed only one less than
Beck.
The Blue and White, anxious to start
another string of victories TO equal the
seven straight, and smarting from Cor
nell's victory the day before, made
two runs in the second inning. Mern-
stein pounded a beauty 10 right and
was safe at the midway when Becker
muffed Lawson's toss on Beck's hopper.
Beck was safe at first. Houck sacri-
feed and Haskins walloped a sharp
grounder that went through the Wes-
leyan first sacker's legs, Mernstein and
Beck scoring. Spottke and Temple
famed.
For three innings Wesleyan went
out in order, Beck tanning two each
in the first and second and one in
the third. In the sixth the lone tally
of the Middletown boys rolled across
the rubber. Chaplin singled ard stole
on Clute. Westcott famed, but Clute
missed the third one, and the pitcher
liked TO first. Chaplin going to the far
corner. Chapir scored on Lawson's
bunt
The Columbia inheld pulled biz
league stuff in the fifth. Webb got a
single when the ball took high bound
over little Buonaguros roof. On a
fielder's choice Webb was safe at sec
ond and Johnson at first Beck then
tossed to Mernstein to catch johnson
mapping, while Buonaguro sneaked up
behind Webb at second. A fast throw,
Mernstein to little Mike settled Webb
before ne realized just what was hap
pening.
The score follows:
