ANNOUNCEMENT OF
ALBERT 4. HOWE.

Albert H. Howe. whose candidacy
for the republican nomination for the
United States Senate has been formals
ly announced, was born in Brooklyn.
New York. in 1872. He was thrown
upon his own resources at an early
age, and in modern business parlance
he made good" from the start. At
the age Of IA he entered the service Of
the United States Express Company
as an office boy and at. the age of II
he was private secretary to the presi-
dent of one of the big transportation
companies Of the world.
When a few years later the direc-
tors of the company created the posi-.
tion of assistant to the president. Mr..
Howe was asked to accept this office.
While in this position he was respon-
sible in large way for the establish
ment and development of the foreign
department of the company and made
several trips to Europe to promote this
branch of the company's business.
When the late Senator Platt, of New
York, went to the United States sen
ate Mr.. Howe, then .23, accompanied
him as his private secretary. He was
associated with the work of the Senate
in numerous and important ways until
1907, when the late Senator George S
Nixon, whose acquaintance he had
formed, asked him to come to Nevada
His first Nevada home was in Reno
where he was associated for a time
with Senator Nixon's banking inter
ests. He was also a factor in the or
ganization of the Nevada Bankers AS
sociation and was one of its first of
ficers.
In December, 1908, Mr.. Howe left
Reno for Goldfield, to become secre
tary of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines Company, the biggest gold mine

and of director were later added TO hi!
responsibilities, which he continues t
discharge. Mr. Howe is also vice pres
ident and general manager OF the Johl
S. Cook & Company bank in Goldfield
Mr.. Howe, since he began his caree
as an office boy, has been associatet
with business undertakings of larg
scope, and his present candidacy wa
based upon the expressed belief of {
large element of the population of tn
state, in all walks of life, that a mai
of business training and experience
can be of exceptional value and sci
vice to the state at Washington, an,
especially when this business training
is supplemented by experience in tha
particular Legislative body TO which hi
candidacy relates.
Mr.. Howe was married N 1893 ant
with his family, lives in Goldfield

STATE CLOSES N
M'MURTREY Case

Yesterday afternoon, Carl Gilberg,
son-in-law of Mrs. Connell. was placed
on the stand by the state in the pre-
liminary examination or Ii. A. McMur-
trey. Mr.. Gilberg stated that he had
become suspicious that Mrs. Connell
wanted to get away with Mike. He
said he is spiritualist and that he
got the idea through table rappings.
He said, however, that he did not de-
pend on that alone, that he had other
rtasons. He said that he had gone to
Mr.. Connell before the marriage and
before the trip 10 San Francisco to the
fair, and that he had warned Mike that
his mother-n-law was bad woman,
and advised him of her connections
with Joe bishop ard advised him not
to take her to the fair with him. He
said that Mike replied that she was
as good az any five men on the ranch
and that IL she wanted to go that he
| would take her. He said that he then
went to MIR. McMurtrty and asked him

Mrs. Lewark to the fair. McMurtrey
consented, and he offered to pay him
$5 which he afterwards did. Mike told
him afterwards that McMurtrey had
talked with him on the matter.
He then testified to subsequent
meetings with McMurtrey after the
marriage was performed, and to con.
| versations relative to Mr.. and Mrs.
Connell, and that he had told McMur-
trey of trouble he had had with Mrs.
Connell, also that he suspected that
something was wrong.
He said that he didn't mind living
at ConnelPs house with his wife and
children while Mike and his mother.
in-law were living together in adul
terry, but that he didn't want them to
go to the fair together.
The state closed its case after Chas
Crane testified to having been called
by McMurtrey to go after Castle tc
perform the marriage ceremony, ant
Herbert Sproule to secure the license
He said that each was at his home.

The Southern Pacific railroad is one
OF the greatest advertisers In this

know how to take advantage OF good

the value of publicity and ought to be

that they have selected baseball as
one OF their best advertising cards this
year. They have teams at Ogden.

baseball team is good advertisement
for a railroad as we'll as town. A
