Mysterious Fire At
Nevada University

At 11:15 Monday morning Man.
zinita Hall, the dormitory for wo-
men at the University of Nevada.
was discovered to be in flames. The
fire department quickly responded to
the alarm, and succeeded in combining
the flames to the basement, where
the fire started. No one was in the
building at the time the fire began,
and it is a mystery how it started.
The heating apparatus of the build
ing was located in the basement, and
a large supply of coal became ignited,
causing a dense smoke. which inter-
fered with the work of the firemen.
The basement was badly burned. and
may be considered a complete loss as
to fittings and furniture. In the
main part of the building the DAM
age was confined to the smoking and
destruction of the paint and tinting
of the rooms. AS the building was
unoccupied, the Summer school be-
ing over and the next semester of
the institution beginning in Septem-
Der, the damage will be all repaired
before the session begins. The loss
is entirely covered by insurance, and
probably will not exceed $4,000.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


wv sosH -"
Carson News: The first step in re-
forming the criminal law, says Sam
uel Untermeyer, is to discard the
grand jury system. He insists that
it ought no longer to be possible to
brand a fellow citizen by an indict-
ment resulting from a star chamber
session in which only one side has an
opportunity Of being heard. Even
though the defendant may easily and
clearly prove his innocence, he can
never entirely remove the stigma
cast on his reputation. Every crimi-
nal prosecution. suggests MIR. Inter
meyer, should be inaugurated by a
complaint supported in open court
by enough proof to make out a plaus-
ible case.
Many of the ablest lawyers and
judges in the county agree. They
admit that the grand jury was a USE
full device for the administration of
Justice in earlier ages, under differ
ent social and political conditions;
but they maintain that it is quite out
of place in a modern society of intel
ligent self-governingand self-respect-
ing citizens. And the experience
of almost any community in the
United States offers plenty of sup
port for the view.

Elko Health Officer Says Goods From
Mail Order Houses Should be Stunned

Mail Order Houses Should be Stunned
DIR. John E. Worden. Elko County's
health officer, in the Elko I%ndepend-
ent. said that the daily news of the
alarming increase of the ~infantile
paralysis epidemic, which originated
as usual in New York. is of vital i'm
portance to everybody in this county
and State, because, in his opinion.
after careful investigation. he is con-
vinced that the dread disease is be-
ing scattered throughout the coun-
try through the medium of sweat
shop goods sold through the big mail
order houses of New York, Chicago,
and other Eastern cities. which have
branches at Seattle and San Francis
co.
1.-The father, or mother" said DR..
Worden. who purchases by mail a
bargain garment from n of these
houses. may be bringing into the
home one of the deadliest of dangers
known to science. | would no more
think of allowing a mail-order pur-
chase of that kind to come into my
house than | would think of allowing
a coiled rattlesnake to sleep in my
child's bedroom. I.wish ! coul | de-
scribe this imminent danger in lam
guage so strong that every man and
woman would be startled out of in
difference and be forced to rrcog-
nize the Importance of this warning.
"You cannot make the warning
too strong. Hundred of families are
buying by mail the products of the
sweat shops of New York and other
cities, ignorant of their probable
deadly danger, for these products
are likely to bear the germs of in
fantile paralysis, besides those of
tuberculosis and other diseases.
For the sake of a bargain, the
fond mothers and fathers may doom
their children and themselves; may,
indeed, start an epidemic that might
wipe out scores of valuable lives.
This State, and every State that
cares for humanity, ought to outlaw,
by severe penalties. the traffic in
sweat-shop products. The danger is
universal in this country. 1t menaces
every home, every community"
