duction of the "Plunderer"; warner
Richmond, Frazer Coulter, Catherine
Adams. and many others whose names
are equally well and favorably known
to theater and motion picture lovers.
AS Lieutenant Devennant, Frazer
Coulter gives an especially convincing
performance of the half pay army OF
ficer who permits drink to drown his
finer sensibilities and feelings. His
makeup is a marvel, his ever move
and gesture is suggestive of the char
acter he is playing.
Another part that is played with
convincing realism is the Austria llan,
portrayed by E. r. Knight. Mr.
knight is the typical Australian miner,
and the realistic background OF the
gold fields makes his work stand out
with particular emphasis.
Theda Bara, famous the world over
for her wonderful characterizations
of the Vampire, is seen in a somewhat
different role in Lady Audley's Sc
cret." Heretofore Miss Bara has por-
trayed the parts of women who are
| innately bad or wicked. In Lady
Audley's Secret" however. she is cast
for a part that depicts a woman who
causes misery W tWO hASh' %Ne 49,
| it subconsciously. 1t is the story of
| a woman cursed by a hereditary insan-
ity which is brought out by series
of terrible misfortunes, catastrophes
which would seem to cause any sound
mind to become unbalanced. 1t is
the fact that Lady Audley commits
the crimes she does while insane that
makes the characterization so patric-
ularly delicate. 1t is necessary TO
trace the oncoming of the malady
from a vague, undefinable beginning
through to a series of horrible crimes.
Miss Bara maintains the crescendo
tempo of the action marvelously, as
perhaps she alone could have done II
| AS a matter of fact when the scenes
depicting the emotional crisis of the
story were being made. when Lady
Audley loses herself in a frenzy OF
madness, Miss Bara was so overcome
by the terrific strain under which she
| labored that she was unable to go on
any more that day. She seemed to
lose herself altogether in her superb
Interpretation of the part she was por-
| traying.
Miss Bara is undoubtedly one OF the
most sincere and convincing artists
either on the screen or on the legiti-
mate stage today, and Lady Audley's
Secret" will surely be hailed as ar
added wreath to her laurels, as the
great feature is athrob with action
from the first scene to the last.

larceny of merchandise from the store
Of the concern. At the same time has
roommate. young fellow called

in local restaurants, was arrested ard
locked up, charged with being an ac-
eompliee. A search of the room oceu-
pied by the young men revealed about
S25 worth of miscellaneous goods,
which were identified as the property
Of the drug company, and an equal
amount in value was found in the rear
OF local saloon, where it had been
cached by the prisoners. Whether this

Bayless, who is a registered druggist
came from Elkader, Iowa, about
month ago and was given a position
by the drug company, and was appar-
emily competent man. Nothing was

WOMEN ELIGIBLE AS JURORS
SINCE NEW YEAR

Since January l, the women of Ne
vada, who are past 21 years of age, are
eligible as jurors. The county commits
sioners and the county clerk yesterday
devoted some time to selecting venire-
men for the year, says the Tonopah
Times. Mr.. Pohl, who is supposed to
he up to the minute in the law, was
aware of the fact that since the first
of the year women may be summoned
to serve on juries, but to be absolutely
ea tain he decided to interview Attor-
Ley- General Thatcher, who is in Tono
rah. Mr.. Thatcher ruled that Nevada
women who are of age are now quail
fed TO serve as jurors. So there may
be lot of Tonopah women drawn for
duty in the jury box.

CONGRESSMAN Will HELP
MODIFY LAND RULINGS

A little over two weeks ago the
Carson Appeal published an editorial
commenting on the United States land
office at Washington for some of the
hardships its rulings are working on
desert land entrymen in this and other
western states The body of the edi
torial was extracted from the Goldfeld
Tribune and given due credit, but the
comments were the Appeals, as was
its caption calling the attention of Ne
yada 8 representatives in Congress to
it, The article as it appeared in the
Appeal was widely copied and a num-
Der of marked copies of the paper con-
tanning it were sent to representative
men throughout the country. Numerous
letters bearing on the subject have
since been received at the Appeal Of
fee, among the number being one from
Senator Key Pittman and Congressman
Roberts of this state and one from Con-
gresham Frank WI Mondell of Wyo-
ming, in all of which the writer's pledge
their support to a correction of the
pernicious conditions which prevail in
the land department. Congressman
Mondell's letter is typical of the sew
eral received and is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Jan. 8, 1915.
CIT. D. Van Devort, Editor Carson
City Daily Appeal, Carson City Ne
vada.
EMv Dear Mr.. Van Devort: I want
to thank you for sending me a copy
of the Daily Appeal of December %,
containing editorial with regard to the
present rulings of the land office af-
| fecting entries under the desert land
laws and lands which it is proposed
to reclaim by pumping. I entirely agree
with the view you express as to the
unfairness and injustice of the present
attitude of the department in regard
to this matter.
"For several years past there has
been a growing tendency in the de-
partment 10 establish rules and regu-
lations and render decisions which
make it difficult to secure title to lands
under the desert land laws. If it was
the deliberate purpose of the land of
fee to render the desert land laws
practically imperative, the purpose
could not be more certainly accom-
plished than by the decisions to lands
which have been rendered and the rules
and regulations which have been adopt
ed, and this is true whether the entry
man proposes TO irrigate his land from
a stream, by storage, or by pumping.
81 have frequently protested against
this attitude of the department and
think if all the western papers would
take the matter up as you have, we
could bring sufficient pressure on the
department to secure conditions which
will afford relief from situation under
which, no matter how well intentioned
the department may be, its decisions
end its regulations are depriving en-
tlymen and prospective entrymen under
the desert land laws of rights and OPP
portunities which the law was expected
to afford and guarantee them.
Very truly yours,
F. w. MONDELL.o

hours, stood eight for conviction and
four for aequittal on every ballot.
Another sut against Booth, growing
out of editorials printed in the Bo

Mining men ATTEND
RABIES CONFERENCE

J G. PEBBLES, representing the West
crn Ore Purchasing company and asso-
cate mine interests, is in Winnemucea.
Mr. PEBBLES is here getting a linc on
producing mines, buying ore and in
general way looking into the prospect
i've mine situation as it pertains to
humboldt county. When seen today,
Mr.. PEBBLES was optimistic and so ex-
pressed himself, saying: "For the past
six weeks / have been covering differ
ont sections of Nevada. l find the peo-
rle busy making money and freely ex-
pressing a condition of staple pros
perity. There is no dark cloud any
where.
''The mining situation is the best
ever saw. Wherever / havs visited
81 examined a mining section, I found
condition which is sure basis for
Nevada's greater future, supported by
a mineral and agricultural resource
not surpassed anywhere. In a mining
way and mine opportunity sense, Ne
vada excels The undeveloped resources
from my examination, are enormous.
Capital will come to make useful such
resources. The Humboldt county min
eral showings are of the best and most
promising in the world, and from my
observations l predict for the Hum
boldt territory one of the most pros
porous mine eras known to the history
Of mining in the West. The showings
are abundant and my prediction is that
it will be but short time when your
county, the world over, will be recog-
nized as a most important mine re-

County Commissioner c. d. Wilkin-

field Consolidated Mining company, is
extending the rabies convention. Will
kinson is a Goldfield pioneer and as a
mining engineer and metallurgist and
geologist is recognized as at the head
of his class. Much of the southern
Nevada mine producers have been sub
ject to his examination and reports. In
his engineering capacity he has been
connected with other large operating
concerns than the Goldfeld Consoli-
dated, from which Wingfeld and

WILL CONGRESS PUT PATRIOT
ISM FIRST.

(From the New York World.)
Congress at this critical time can
render Invaluable assistance to the
President in conducting the foreign
affairs of the United States.
To do this it need only enact the
nationaldefense pro
"ranme into law without a days un-
necessary delay
That would strengthen the Presi-
dents hands immeasurably in dealing
with every European Government
with which we have a controversy. 1t
would be a demonstration of Amerl-
can earnestness and unity which
would make an immediate impression
upon every capital of the world.
The general direction of foreign
relations is in the hands OF the Presl-
dent. Until the time comes to draw
the sword, Congress has no constl-
tuticnal power to NEEDLE with the
executive prerogatives. The President
may consult members of Congress
and advise with them, but the power
is his and the responsibility is his.
On the other hand national defense
is exclusively matter for Congress.

JUDGE OLIVER P. SHIRAS.

Last Friday Judge Oliver P. Shiras
of Dubuque, died at the ripe age Of
80 years.
It is no exaggeration to say that
he was the most highly esteemed
and ablest Judge that ever presided
over a Federal court in this state. 1t
seemed easy for him to be great
lawyer and a wise Judge. Some of
his Judicial opinions will stand as
testimonials to his memory long az
ter his monument turns to dust.
He was the friend Of every young
and inexperienced lawyer who ap--
peared before him, and this kindness
and liberation on his part still lives
in the memories of many men,
bers of the bar.
Thirty-eight years ago he assisted
in the organization Of the Am erlcan
Bar Association at Saratoga Springs,
and continued as an honored men,
Der of that organization during the
remainder of his life.
The county seat case, tried before
Judge Lacy at Delhi, was the last law
suit ever tried by Judge Shiras- He
was appointed shortly after that trial

FAILURES OF AGRICULTURAL
FAIRS.

Why are so many agricultural fairs
financial failures? That is the ques-
ton which is uppermost with the
officers of most of cur agricultural as
sociations. There may be many con-
tributing causes, but chief among
these causes is the money spent for
fixed" contests which have long
since ceased to either attract or en-
terrain.
To command success an agricul-
tura' fair should primarily be What
it's name implies, display of farm
products and the machinery and ap-
paratus used in farm work. That
feature could be made So education
)al that no farmer could neglect
to avail himself of it's advantages.
There should, of course, be amuse-
ments at fair, but the public has
been gulled so often by fixed
horse races that the average individ--
ual had about as seen see man
turn a grindstone as to witness one
of those racing exhibitions. If half
of the money spent on horse races
was used in promoting good base ball
games better results could be secur-
ed.
Let fair officers strive to get
something new in the amusement
line, and people will turn out to see
it, but the same old stunts mean
failure.
