meeting Monday afternoon with
forty two women in attendance.
The plans and policies and
obligations for the year were
discussed and heartily adopted.
A spirit of satisfying and en-
couraging sympathy and CO.
operation seemed to thoroughly
possess the women. The pro-
gram meeting of December was
combined with the business meet

business was speedily dispatched
and the talks as brief as possible

TRAINER CASE
SET FOR SATURDAY

The board of pardons will meet
Saturday, at Carson City, to consider
the application of J. Frank TRAINER
for a Communication of his death SEN
tence to life Imprisonment. District
Attorney Powell will leave for the
state capital tomorrow evening, to
oppose the application.
1t is no doubt a fair statement to
say that the people of Humboldt
county are unanimously in favor of
the extreme penalty of the law being
executed in this case. TRAINER was
the leader in the raid at Inlay, sew
eral years ago, that resulted in the
death of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Quilici
All the terrible details of the case
were brought out at the trials of de-
fendant and Nimrod Uric, his accom-
plice, and not a single extenuating
circumstance can be pointed out. 1t
was sordid. brutal. unnecessary muir
der, and both men should have been
put to death years ago.

AT NIXON TONIGHT FOURTH
EPISODE 1.-THE IRON Claw"

At the Nixon opera house tonight
Pathe will present Pearl White,
Creighton Hale and Sheldon Lewis,
in the fourth episode of the great Sc
rial, "The Iron Claw" entitled "The
Name and the Came" The story of
this episode runs as follows:
Accused of betraying his conf
dence, Mrs. Golden and Jules Legar
are sent away by Enoch Golden, who
first mutilates Legar by crushing his
hand and soaring his face. Legar re-
places the missing member with an
iron claw which afterwards gives him
his name. He then kidnaps Golden's
daughter, Margery, who, in later
years "The Laughing Mask" mystic
enemy of wrongdoers, saves from a
horrible fate. To stop the mysterious
fires which follow Golden's refusal
to give up his recovered daughter,
the girl voluntarily returns to Legar.
She is again rescued by "The Laugh
ing Mask" whom she believes to be
woman. In this episode Legar robs
bank and fastens the crime on THE
Laughing Mask" who, disguised as
one of the criminals henchmen, re-
covers the loot and informs Golden
financially interested, that he will re-
turn it only after the millionaire had
improved the condition of his tene-
ments. "The Laughing Mask" is an
agent for good. but who is he?

HUMB0LDT'S PROSPERITY
REfLtOED BY BANK GAINS

Today the quarterly directors
meeting of the First National Bank
is being held at the parlors of that
institution. There are present Vice.
President F. NJ. Lee, Cashier Sheehan,
Directors John H. Taylor and w. H.
Moffat.
To Silver State reporter Mr.. Lee
stated that Humboldt county was in
an unusually prosperous condition
at this season, as reflected by the
condition of winnemucca's two banks,
which show an increase of more than
$500000 compared with this time last
year
Asked his opinion regarding the
political outlook, Mr.. Lee replied:
Conditions throughout the country
point to the election of Hughes and
Fairbanks. Mr.. Wilson's only claim
to support evidently lies in the oft
repeated statement of his supporters
that he has kept us out of war. AS
a matter of fact. he has done nothing
of the kind, and the falsity of the
statement is now being exposed on
the stump by Republican campaign
ers.
after all is said and done. the fact
still remains that Mr.. Wilson is
minority President, his election hav-
ing been accomplished by the split in
the Republican ranks. This fall he
must face united Republican party.
and in my judgment there is no ques-
tion as to the result.
at is hard to forecast the result
of the election in Nevada, owing to
the fact that the woman vote enters
into the reckoning for the first time.
But I believe that rs per cent, or at
least a comfortable majority of the
women will vote the Republican
ticket. Sam Plat is putting up a
hard fight for the Senate, and the
chances seem to favor his election"

POPULAR RENO H0STFIRY
BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE

Fire, supposedly of incendiary ORR
gin and causing damage to the ex-
tent of $4,000 or $4,000, broke out
in the basement of the Golden hotel,
at Reno, at an early hour yesterday
morning and completely destroyed
the hotel lobby and offices on the
first floor and wrecked I'VE rooms on
the second floor. The entire loss is
covered by insurance.
Every one of the 287 guests was
rescued, and no one was injured. The
fire department, which responded in
full force, rescued most of the guests
on the third and fourth floors, carry
ing them down the fire ladders to the
street. The firemen, under the direc-
tion of Chief r. b. Hawcroft, worked
necessarily until 7 o'clock in the
morning, when the last spark of the
conflagration was extinguished. The
work of the fire department saved
the adjoining buildings, which were
in constant danger of being ignited.
All the books, valuables and cash
which were in the safe were saved
though the safe crashed through the
concrete office floor and disappeared
in the flames in the basement, where
it was recovered afterward undam-
aged by the fire.
Business houses on the first floor
of the building were damaged. The
Etchebarren & Staley store was COM
pletely ruined by smoke and water.
Their loss is estimated at over $500,
half of which is covered by insur-
ance The Brunswick-Balk billiard
parlor. l.. Marymonts Jewelry store
and the Golden bar suffered minor
damages by smoke and water.
The hotel was able to resume busi-
ness yesterday afternoon, the office
being moved to one of the rooms on
the second floor. All the current
guests re-registered, and several new
guests arrived in the course of the
day. Gangs of carpenters, painters
and other mechanics were put to
work, and laborers were removing
the debris. The management state
that the entire ground floor will be
remodeled and it is expected to have
the work completed about the middle
of December.

CLAIM ABUSE OF
SENATORIAL FRANK
Especial Correspondence


WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Sec
retary McAdoo is using the Treasury
Department to frank personal docu-
ments which have no relation to the
public business of the Treasury; Sem
ator William E. Chiffon, of West Vir-
ginia, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on the census, is permitting
Henry Fry. clerk of the committee,
under Chilton's frank, to appeal to
the postmasters of West Virginia to
get votes for Chiffon in the Novem-
Der election; and officials of the
Postoffice Department are travelling
ings of postmasters and rural route
carriers urging them to work for the
Democratic candidates.
McAdoo has large force of en-
ployes work in the Treasury build
ing sending out, under the frank of
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, large
numbers of a speech by McAdoo, en-
titled Some International Aspects of
Public Education" delivered by Nc
Adoo at the annual convention of the
National Education association in
New York City July 9th, last. This
speech concerns the International
conference held in Buenos Aires and
refers to the "Pan-Americanism"
upon which the Wilson administra-
tion is continually harping. although
President Wilson's Mexican and Hal
tian policies have aroused bitter hos
tility in the Pan-AmerIcan nations.
1t Is a violation of law for a Cab
met officer to use the employees and
facilities of his department to send
throughout the country, under the
frank of United States Senator, one
of his own speeches, which is not a
public document.
Henry Fry, clerk of the Senate
committee on the census, has sent to
postmasters throughout West Virgin
1t, under Senator Chilton's frank,
from Charleston, West Virginia, date
of September 22nd, the following let
ter:
my Dear Sir:
"If every one whom Senator Chill
ton has helped will remember him
on election day and get him one or
two votes from the opposition, there
will be no doubt of his reelection
You are a man of influence in your
community. You can do this easily
Can | set you down as one who will
at his voting precinct help to re-elect
Senator Chiffon for what ne has done
for West Virginia? II you will join
this army which will make his cleo
ton certain, please write me at once
We want to know that the whole
thing is moving along all over the
state in the same way"
These letters are a glaring viola
ton of law. as they solicit postmas-
ters to engage in "pernicious politi-
cal activity" and have been sent
through the mails without payment
of postage.
On September 18th, Representative
William E. Cullop. of Indiana. and
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
James l. Blakslee, addressed meet
ing of postmasters and rural route
carriers at Sullivan, Indiana, which
had been called by Representative
Cullop. The ostensible purpose of the
meeting was to straightn out rural
route matters, but Blakslee made a
Democratic speech in which told
the postmasters and carriers that he
expected them, and it was their duty,
to work for the reelection of Cullop.

recognize government by assassina-
ton, but he hasn't cut off relations
with those who have assassinated

Congress that ever submitted to a

and they arrested the Republican on

full.
One thing we must all admit
The President Is never too proud to
sidestep.
A surplus of $5,2O0,OOO from the
postal service during the fiscal year
ending June 30, is reported by Post
master-General Burleson. With the
department more than paying ex-
penses, II would seem that the execu-
tive officials could afford to keep on
the payroll members of the National
Guard, who responded when the Presi.
dent called out the Organized Militia
for duty on the border.
