Westches.er County. One person IN
every ten in the greater city had
bought a ticket, yet thousands more
were sold last night in the Broadway
theatres and restaurants, and the de-
mand was still far from sat- 'hed:
The persuasive eloquence OF the
nrmy of girls who sold the tickets
from automobiles decorated with the
flags Of the nine allied nations, who
besieged pedestrians on nearly every
corner in the shopping and Wall
Street districts and who invaded clubs,
Office buildings and department stores;
was irresistible. Even men who SAID

BRINGS PAINTINGS
MADE UNDER FIRE
Artist to Show Sketches at the
Allied Bazaar.

Water color sketches painted under
fire on the battlefelds of the western
front were brought here on the French
liner Chicago yesterday by their
author, Charles Duvent, Academlcian
and Chevalier of the Legion of Honor
lie will exhibit them at the Allied Ba-
zaar.
NJ. Duvent's collection includes about
seventy pictures, all of which were
done at the instance of the French gov
eminent. Working behind haystacks
and in the shelter Of steel shields, with
shrapnel screaming a constant accom-
paniment, the artist was in constant
peril of his life while he painted. Some
of the paintings show the destruction
of the Cathedral of Arras and of the
town. With the paintings are photo-
graphs by the official French photog-
rapher, proving that v. Duvent did MS
work under actual fire.

"FOLLIES" AUCTION
REALIZES $4,000
Sale of First Night Seats Hangs
Up New Record.

An auction sale Of the first night
seats for the forthcoming "Zicgfeld
Follies" was held yesterday afternoon
at the New Amsterdam Theatre, more
than $4,000 in premiums being real
lied. Even Mr.. Ziegfeld seemed some
what awed at the success Of the affair
when McBride's ticket agency bid s27b
each for two front row seats. lie said:
GOSH ! didn't know they wanted 10
see the show that badly. Now III have
TO make good"
The boxes went to Sam Nixon at
$120, Billy Reeves at 500 and Mcbride
at SS5. Front row seats for the 1915
edition of the show, due June IL, drew
from $3.50 TO 1915 premium. W. r..
Hearst bought a dozen seats, in groups
of four, paying 1852. Sl65 and $3.50 for
each group. Mcbride made the high. ut
offer, paying S275, presumably for
Diamond Jim" Brady. Later Mcbride
picked up an odd seat in the front row
at S27. Most of the other seats went
to spectators and ticket agents at
from $40 down. j. Fred Zimmerman
paid 5000 apiece for two seats and Elsie
Janis $2s. Back row seats drew pre-
MUM of 81.
A large crowd was disappointed be
cause the girls from "The Midnight
Frolic" and the "Follies" did not do
the auctioneering, as had been an
nounced. However. many Of these cele-
brated personages could be seen in the
audience.
According TO Mr.. Ziegfeld, the auc-
tion was held because more than three
thousand requests were received for
front row orchestra chairs. The auc-
tion was in many ways the most re-
markable of its kind, being the first
time that seats for legitimate attrac-
tion have sold at such extraordinary
premiums

DR.. C. A. HASCALL WRITES
OF CONDITIONS IN MONTANA
Changes Wrought I'm Thirty Years
Have Been Marvellous, But He Is.
Still Loyal to Nevada.

The Standard is in receipt of the
following letter from DR.. c. A. Has
call, dated at Livingston, Montana,
where he has been for the past
couple of weeks in the prosecution
of his work as u s. Narcotic In
spector:
We'll, here | am, a long way
from home, serving the cause the
best l know how, meeting with sue
cess, but my success brings sorrow
to many.
In 1884 l was in this town when
it was only the relics of a railroad
camp. Today it is city. Then, If
any one had told me that the pres
ent conditions could ever have been
brought about l certainly would
have thought them crazy. Today 1t
is showing hard and has been for
the past six days, and even though
the ground is warm enough so that
seeding is all done, there is at least
six to ten inches of snow on the
ground.
when think of old Nevada with
its beautiful climate and its possibil-
tiles in agriculture, as well as min
ing, cannot but feel that it is the
only place to live and build home.
If those who have been struggling
to make a nome in Lahontan valley
could only see what l have seen since
1 left Fallon and understand that
time and struggles only bring pros
perity; that every new country must
have it's SORROWS, but that with
those struggles is sure to come the
building up of great common
wealth and those who follow after
us reap the rewards that we feel
should be ours. But such is life. So
begin to feel that the greatest
monument one can leave to the COM
ing generation is that we paved the
way so that their efforts are made
easier.
II want to emphasize that Fallon
and the surrounding country cannot
be excelled by any section | have
visited and if you say anything about
this letter tell the people that | say
for Gods sake be patient and pull
together and it will be only matter
of short time before they can look
back upon what today they call
struggles and see that they could not
afford to have missed one of them.
II am writing this because | see
what the past thirty years has done
for this once barren, cold, snow
bound section of the country, once
considered unfit for man or beast.
Today you see beautiful homes,
farms and thriving cities. 1t is the
stick-to-itive disposition of the peo-
pie that has accomplished this great
change. But | want to repeat: There
is no place like Fallon.
"Give my best wishes to all and
tell them that | am still moving on
the same old way and have not for
gotten the place that | want my
bones to lay in when in this life |
am done with them.

forty years. She was the mother of

CLEANING WITH GASOLINE
CAUSES FIRE SATURDAY
Indian Women Have Narrow Escape
When Liquid Is Ignited BY Spark
OF Static Electricity.

An alarm of fire was turned in
last Saturday from the residence of
Senator w A. Keddie on Williams
avenue
1t appears that a couple of Indian
women were engaged in cleaning a
silk yoile gown by dipping it in a
tub of gasoline in a shed in the rear
of the residence. They were sous
ing the garment up and down in the
volatile liquid and thereby generat-
ed spark of static electricity that
quickly ignited the gas and set fire
to the dress and the contents of the
tub. The squaws quickly dropped
the burning garment and made their
escape from the shed and gave the
alarm. Fortunately c. +. Hendricks.
the plumber. and q member of the
fire department, was at work on the
place and with rare presence of
mind succeeded in throwing a
oline and smothered II before the
arrival of the department The loss
was confined to the dress that was
being cleaned and which was valued
at $50.
The volunteer department, as
usual. was promptly on the scene
with the entire equipment of the
department. At the first tap of the
bell a number of automobiles sour
ried to the fire house and attached
TO the apparatus and a run was
made to the scene of the alarm that
would do credit to paid city de-
partment Only ten minutes had
elapsed from the first call until the
last of the apparatus was back in
place and a roll call developed that
every member of the department
who was in town was present.
There is a lesson In this incident
that in this case happily resulted in
no fatalities or serious damage. A
lesson that should be taken by ev-
eryone. The danger in the use of
EdSOllut iOi Ppf bSoND 20 HSN
generally understood or appreciated.
Especially is this so when used for
cleaning silken materials Unless
the utmost precautions are used
there is great danger in any motion
of the materials that causes friction
that a-spark of electricity will be
generated that will result in an ex-
plosion of the gases arising from the
liquid and more often than not the
burning fluid is scattered broadcast
, bringing almost certain death as
result When carefully handled by
an experienced person the danger is
minimized. but the frequency of fires
in cleaning establishments through
out the country bear testimony to
the risk that is taken in every case.

PROMINENT ELKO CITIZENS
ARE ACCUSED OF CRIME

As an aftermath of the case
wherein Mrs. Ella Connell was con-
victed with her paramour in at
tempting to poison her husband
comes sensational charges against

mour Joe Bishop confessed and the
latter implicated j. NJ. Taber, stew
ard at the county hospital. IL. u.
Castle justice of the peace, and II.
A. McMurtrey. constable of Elko
township.
Basing his charges on this alleged
confession, Mike Connell, the hus-
band of the woman has charged the
defendants with being parties to the
plot to poison him. The defendants
were arrested and released on s3,-

Speaking of the case the Elko In
dependent says:
"The concensus of opinion of the
entire community of Elko in discus

men is that there has been no basis
for such an action and that they
will be speedily acquitted at the pre-
liminary hearing"
