John Weber. chairman board of
County Commissioners of White Pine
County. has wired Governor Boyle
that about ten days ago a COW at
Cherry Creek, in that County. de-
veloped rabies. She was killed and
it has been ascertained that a number
of people had drank milk from the
COW and are in fear of being affected
with rabies. DIR. Mack was informed
of the matter and assured those
drinking the milk that there was no
danger unless the milk came in con-
tact with cuts. sores or bruises. The
people of White Pine County were
not satisfied with that and have asked
Governor Boyle to take the matter
up.

The couple were happy in their home

dislodge a log that had caught ia the

FATAL ACCIDENT At ElK0 ROOEO
Lee Gregory Killed and Ray Davis
Probably Fatally Injured in
Auto Race

The SENTINEL learned last night
that Lee Gregory. son of County
Commissioner Gregory of Elko Coun-
ty. was killed, and Ray Davis so bad
ly injured in the 40-mile auto race
run at Elko Thursday afternoon that
it was thought he could not survive.
Davis was driving. with Gregory
acting as his assistant, and their
Overland car was leading in the race
with only about eight more miles to
go. when the quito. going at great
speed, refused to take one of the
turns, going straight ahead over the
raised embankment and turning over
several times before landing.
The track at Elko on which this
race was being run is only a half
mile track, and though banked up on
the turns, is unusually hard to navi-
gate on while speeding.
Gregory lived three hours after
the accident, and Davis had not re-
gained consciousness late Thursday
night when Senator l.. r. Thatcher.
who brought the news to Union, left
Elko.
Later News of Accident
Walter Handley came in from
Newark this afternoon and says that
according to parties who left Elko
Friday afternoon Lee Gregory was
still alive then, but little or no hopes
of his recovery were held out. Ray
Davis had then recovered conscious
ness and was able to be up and
around.
The Stntz car won the race, aFord
car taking second money.

Senator. He was an imposing presence
In the chair Of the presiding officer, and
during his eight years Of service he was
rarely absent from that chair.
1t looked as though at the expiration Of
his term he might retire to peaceful
and happy life upon some one Of his
country estates in the vicinity OF New
York. But of a sudden there were accu-
sations that his account while governor
and for the time when New York State
was raising forty thousand militia for
defense against the British indicated mis-
use and possible misappropristion Of
funds.
Notwithstanding the fact that Tomkins
had four times been governor of New
York and eight years Vice President of
the United States, these conspicuous pub
lie services did not shield him from at
tack. There were living some years ago
men who recall the cruel vindictiveness
Of these attacks. They said that Gov.
Tomkins bowed his head in humiliation
and that 1t was evident to his friends that
his heart was broken, especially he
ground for the charges.
He actually died OF broken heart, but
after his death there came perfect vindi-
cation, for careful scrutiny OF his sc-
counts revealed that instead of Gov.
Tompkins owing the State the State was
in debt to him, since he had raised upon
personal security some of the funds
needed for the equipment Of the New
York militia and had been obliged to pay
! a part OF the debt out OF his own pocket.

Daniel d. Tomkins was Vice President
OF the United States from 1917 to ls2s.
These were the eight years of James
Monroe's service as President. Today those
who make excursions in parts of West
chester County. New York, will, II they
are observing, see certain monuments set
up In memory OF Gov. Tomkins, Identify
ing places where he lived or symbolizing
some of his services while governor OF
of 1912.
notwithstanding a brilliantly successful
political career, which included service as
governor of New York and eight years
as vice President of the United States,

OF MS life perhaps greater mental an
sulsh than any other person who was
ever prominent in American political life.
have heard from some Of the veterans
who In their youth were familiar with
the politicians of the first quarter Of the
nineteenth century pathetic stories of the
pitiful fate which was the lot, and the
wholly unjustifable lot, of Daniel D.
Tomkins.
AS Vice President of the United States
Gov. Tomkins shared with President
Monroe that complacent feeling which
characterized what was then called the
era of good feeling" for during both of
Monroe's administrations there was little

United States being greatly occupied with
developing industries. AS Vice President,

The wisdom of the Senate in ordering an in
'stigaton OF the high cost of news print paper
ID the wisdom of the Federal Trade Commits
on in not delaying the investigation were re-
~aled yesterday at the opening of the hearing
newspaper publishers and paper manufacturers
fore the commission
The testimony showed that the seriousness
the situation has not been magnifed 1t also
clearly shown that the advertisers and the
ublic have for alarm as we'll as the pub
shers. 1t was testified that a number of pub
shers have found it necessary to increase ad-
ertIslng rates, others to raise the selling price Of
Ieir newspapers and others to take both steps
One witness asserted that some publishers
I'VE been compelled to refuse advertisements. 1t
as agreed that publishers are doing all they can
) prevent the waste of paper and that a num-
n actually face the suspension of publication.
That testimony which probably will cause
ost interest in Congress was the statement of
1e OF the largest manufacturers of paper that
riff legislation is chiefly responsible for the
gh cost of paper The witness said that news
per and news paper alone comes into the
nited States duty free and that Canadian mills
we numerous advantages over the mills in this
untry. This manufacturer termed the present
yislation grossly unjust to the paper mills
this country and declared that unless condi-
ons are improved the manufacturers will be
liable to get a proper return on their invest
ent and will move their mills to Canada.
Before the hearing is concluded it probably
Ill be shown that there are number of causes
the increased paper cost. The problem fac
the investigators is not only to determine
ese causes, but to recommend remedy to
ongress. Congress then may be expected to
wisely and expeditiously. --

1t is seldom that man shows as many pc
cullarites as when dispensing charity. To most
the giving of aid to the needy is pleasure and
the giver generally INDUCES himself in as many
whims when he is enjoying less worthy
pleasures. But when the peculiarities Of
the charitable understood they sometimes
are hard to forgive For some weeks the public
OF Washington has heard urgent pleas for aid
for the women and children who are in need
because their husbands and fathers have en-
listed for service on the border. There has
been response, but it has been lukewarm. This
is not understood by some of us when it is re-
membered how generously the people of Wash
ington have contributed in the past to those in
need outside Of our city and sometimes in for
eign lands. The most hearty farewell that VIC
can give to the khaki-clad men about to leave
for Mexico is proof that will protect and
aid those they leave behind.
