VIII Study Divorce Question

The Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiyes have both passed a resolu-
ton covering the appointment of a
State commission which will at once
visit five of the principal cities of the
East and Middle West to learn what
the country at large desires in the
matter of divorce laws.
Leaving Carson City, the commits
sioners will proceed directly to New
York and after holding a formal ses-
sion there will proceed to Philadel-
phia, Washington, Chicago and ST
Louis, thence returning to Carson
City.
On its return to Carson City, the
information obtained will be carefully
weighed and ppresented to the Legis-
lature with recommendations, and the
Legislature will then, in turn, make
recommendations to the Governors
and Legislatures of all the States for
uniform laws.
That which will probably surprise
the nation at large is the fact that
unless strong arguments are pre-
sented against 1t. the present Nevada
divorce law will be urged on ali the
States.
Neyada's law provides for divorce
only on seven grounds. as follows
Adultery, desertion for one year. fell
ony, habitual drunkenness, physical
incapaeity. cruelty and neglect to pro-
vide for one year.
This law was passed in 1861, when
the present State was under the form
Of territorial government, ratified in
1864 when the State was admitted to
the Union, and it has been in force
without change ever since. Likewise
the law provides for a six months
period of residence to establish citi-
zenship, but so also do Idaho and
Texas. both of which States grant
divorce on seven grounds.
The Nevada commission will ask
the plain question: Does the fault
or alleged fault. with respect to di-
yorce lie with Nevada or with the
States which have stubbornly refused
to obey the absolute verdict of soci-
ety?"

Constitutional Amendment

The first proposed amendment to
the Constitution of the State to be
presented during the present legisla-
tive session was introduced in the
house yesterday by Speaker Ben Luce.
The proposed amendment grants to
members of the Supreme Court the
right to issue writs of habeas corpus
to any part of the State upon the pc
tition of any person actually being
held in the custody of police officials.
The change is sought, 1t is said, to
prevent a repetition of the case Of
w. w. Booth of Tonopah. Booth was
convicted of having published libel
Gus article concerning the then dis
trlct attorney. j. A. Sanders. The
court. ignoring the recommendations
of the jury, sentenced Booth to serve
six months in the county Jail without
the alternative of fine. Booth was
finally liberated by the aid of the
State board of pardons, the right TO
appeal having been denied by the
present law.

DEVELOP PMENT OF
DOMESTIC SUPPLIES

A Philadelphia firm of type founG-
ers has issued the following circular
calling attention to the Importance
of the development by the United
States of domestic supplies of essen
tial metals:
The present state of the commerce
Of the United States, arising out of
the conduct of the belligerent powers,
having shown our wants and pointed
out the necessity of calling to our aid
such of the natural productions of
this country as our knowledge and
research might enable us to discover;
with view to this important OF ject.
we particularly solicit your attention
to the article of antimony, which Is
essential in the manufacture of print
ing types and which has not hitherto
been discovered in this country. Bis
muth would also be a great acquisi-
tion. and profitable to the owner of
the mine. AS it is highly probable
that articles, which abound in 90
many parts of Europe, are not totally
wanting in this extensive country, VIC
earnestly request you to make the
necessary inquiries in your neighbor-
hood and, should you discover any
thing which promises a favorable re-
suit, to transmit an account of it TO
us. We are, respectfully,
BINNY G. DONALDSON,
Letter Founders.
The only comment to be made on
this statement is that the date of the
circular is February IT, 1909, at which
time the sole method of calling atten-
ton to the needs of the country in
such matters was by personal circu-
lar and pamphlet; there was, for in
stance. no government clearing house
of information with reference to min
erals such as the United States Geo
logical Survey of the Department of
the Interior.
This circular was found by one of
the biologists of the Geological Sur
vey among some of the papers of
Thomas jefferson. Both in tone and
substance, this preparedness" sug-
gestion relating to the development of
the country's natural resources is not
essentially different from appeals
made more than a century later.

ALL INDICTMENTS \
UPHELD BY COURT

After hearing testimony and argu-
ments in support of the demurrers to
the three indictments for embezzle-
ment returned by the recent grand
mry against A. G.. Crane and II. H.
Dunbar, respectively president and
general manager of the Interstate
Life Insurance Company of Nevada.
Judge Ducker yesterday held the
same to be legal. The trials we're set
for March Is at 10 o'clock am.
In addition to charging bias on the
mart of four of the grand jurors, Sal
ter & Robins, attorneys for Defendant
Dunbar, offered to prove that the
name OF witness, l.. Arechabala, who
testified before the grand jury in the
Dunbar and Crane cases, did not ap-
near on the three indictments returned
BY the grand jury.
Arechabala. who resides in Col
eonda. testified that he was subpenaed
as a witness in the Homer Winters
case and was also questioned in the
grand jury room in relation TO the
Crane and Dunbar casesf
To rebut Arechabala's testimony,
the district attorney called C. l.. Tobin
and T. d, Brown. foreman and secre-
tary. respectively, OF the grand jury.
Mr.. Tobin testified that Arechabaia
was questioned in relation TO the
Crane and Dunbar cases. while Mr..
Brown testified TO the contrary.
The law requires that an indictment
returned by a grand jury must show
the names of all witnesses who give
testimony on the particular case.

Ten.year Terms for Regents

Provisions for making the term of
University regents ten years are con-

be elected one to a ten-year term,
one for eight years, and the third for
six years. Thereafter one regent is
to be elected at each general election.
The bill was referred to the commit

WINNEMUCCA MT.
Mining COMP ANY

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Winnemucca Mountain
Mining Company was held last month
and the stockholders registered their
confidence in the officers by re-elect-
ing the same management to act for
another year.
II. A. Swanson was reelected as
president, John r. Turner as vice
president, and w. G.. Adamson as
secretary-treasurer
The annual reports as submitted by
the management contained very pleas
ing news and set out in detail just
what had been accomplished during
the last year. with forecast of what
the stockholders could expect for the
coming twelve months.
The report of John r. Turner, gen.
eral superintendent, covered the gen.
eral condition at the mine and mill.
and what had been accomplished, and
what the present conditions of the
mine indicated would be accomplished
during the present year with deeper
workings.
The Winnemucca Mountain Mining
Company is one of the big mining
companies of the State and its hold
ings comprise thirty-one claims, to-
falling more than 563 acres of ground
on Winnemucca mountain.
The Bonanza mine, near which the
mill is situated. is loca-ed on the east
end of their territory, and the Rexall
mine, from which such very rich ore
was extracted a few years ago, is
located on approximately the west
end of their ground, nearly two miles
apart Clarence King, a noted geolo-
gist, who was through this country
in 1869 in the interest of the United
States Geological Survey, pronounced
Winnemucca mountain great source
of wealth, and surely the Winnie
mucca Mountain Mining Company is
proving this statement. The immense
territory owned by them between the
Bonanza mine and the Rexall mine is
all highly mineralized, and it is only
a matter of deeper development when
the wealth contained therein will be-
gin to roll out
1t was a great disappointment TO
the management of this company
when they were compelled to close
down the operation of their mill
through not being able to secure cya-
nide. This reagent, up to the present
time, has not been produced in this
country to any great extent, owing to
the fact that England and Germany
| have been able to manufacture the
same at a much less cost than it could
be produced for here. Some time age
England put an embargo on cyanide
and since that time the supply in this
country has been practically used up
and they will have to wait until the
factories in this country are able tc
produce sufficient for their require
| ments. which should not be later than
| May 1.
But the management of the Winnie
mucca Mountain Mining Company has
determined that during the time tht
mill will have to be closed down they
will utilize the opportunity for more

BAKER SAYS STAFF ARMY PLAN ALONE IS
 FEASIBLE FOR U. s
tey Review Leased WireA

WASHINGTON, April 17-Secre- tary Baker told the house military committee fiatly tonight that the war departments plan for the organization of an army by selectiye Conscription was the only feasible way of meeting the emergency with Germany.
 A plan put forward in the commit tee by Representative Lunn. Democrat of New York, which Secretary Baker agreed would be acceptable to the war department. contemplated that in- stead of the cOnscription of men be tween the ages of 19 and 9, there should be four classes, to be success sively reached in the draft, beginning with 500, 900 men in the first class. be tween the ages Of 21 and 27. with au- thority for the President to call as many more of this class as he deems in his discretion before going to the next class. The other three groups. in sequence, would be between the ages of 2S and 34, B and il. and 42 and 4S.
 Another plan talked over in commit tee proposed that all of the additional men needed to fill up the regular army and the national guard should be pro duced by the volunteer p-an with tine draft scheme operating at the same time to raise the new war army.

WELSH 0UTCLASSES BATTLING NELSON
 IN TWELVE ROUNDS
(By Review Leased wire)

ST. LOUIS. April F, - Freddie Nelsn. lightweight champion. easily bested Battling Nelson a former cham pion. in F rounds here tonight Welsh was tCo clever for Nelson and was not hit sOlidly more than half a dozen times. Welsh also showed his punish ing power His left darted to NelsOn's face repeatedly, and his infghting was far superior to the Battler's. The blows Nelson landed seemed to lack their Old-time sting.
 The contest was not all one sided. however. Nelson never failed ro mee- Welsh in the middle of the ring. and never during the fight did he back of an inch. In the eighth Nelson hit Welsh squarely. but the blow appeared low. The Briton backed up against the ropes. but the referee motioned the boxers together again.
 Welsh. apparently angered. then be- gan his only real attack. He slashed Nelson with right and left hooks and pummeied his body Soon Nelson was bleeding. and at the end of round II both men were crimson from a cut in the Battler's lip. Nelson weighed 132: Welsh 135.
