HUGHES PAYS TRIBUTE
TO WILSON'S ADDRESS

Charles e. Hughes, speaking at a
dinner in his honor, said Americans
should forget all partisanshlp and
stand unqualified behind a "leader.
ship most nobly declared" ~
II am prouder than ! have ever
been that am an American citizen"
asserted Hughes, because at this time
of test the American people have re-
sponded with lie true instinct of de-
mocracy and ;.e prepa 'od to do their
part to the end that We shall be gov
erned by law, by agreement, by con.
ception of right, and not by brute
force.
There has been no finer statement
of our principles, or our ideals OF the
motives that influence us, siaco the
days of Lincoln than that stated in
the matchless state paper of President
Wilson in his recent message"

T0NOPAH RESIDENTS
SHOW THEIR PATRIOTISM

The patriotic parade held in Tono-
pah Wednesday evening was the big
gest demonstration ever seen at that
place. Fully 1000 people participat-
ed Led by the military band the
parade extended for nearly three
blocks. with people walking four and
six abreast. Everybody walked. from
tiny children to prominent business
and professional men and their wives,
and everybody carried flag. Immc.
diatcly following the band was the
G. y. Il. and Spanish War Veterans,
followed by the Womcn's Relief Corps.
Next came the Serbian Young Mems
society with two flag bearers. one
carrying a huge American flag. tho
other a beautiful flag of their own
country. After that came the long
line Of children and citizens. Red fire
Eliminated the line of march, and the
cheering was almost inCessant. Al
together, it was demonstration to be
proud of and an example was set
that other cities throughout the coun-
try would do well to follow.

STILL ANOTHER TAKES
PLEA OF GUILTY

The last case on the criminal docket
was disposed of today when Dave
Moore was charged with having killed
10 fourteen years for grand larceny
More was charged with having killed
steer not belonging to him, and i'm
his first trial the jury disagreed. Yes-
terday he decided TO enter a plea of
guilty and the calendar is now clear.
excepting the cases of the three men
charged with the murder of the Jar.
bidge stage driver, which has been
set for next September.
Too much credit cannot be given
our officers for the splendid manner
in which they have handled the many
cases that have been up before them.
They have secured pleas OF guilty in
dozen or more cases which would
otherwise have been necessary to try
at the spring term of court. The
county has been saved upwards of
twenty-five thousand dollars. and jury
men are spared the necessity of COM
ing here during very busy season.
Our officers have made a record never
equaled in this county nor
perhaps any other county in the state.
They have brought every offender To
justice and without expense or in.
convenience to the taxpayers.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE pas.
sage before night of the seven billion
war revenue bill by the house by an
almost unanimous vote was assured
early today.
The measure was taken up in the
house this morning under an agree.
ment TO begin the discussion of the
amendments under the five minute
rule. The voting on the bill will be.
gin this afternoon.
An amendment was added to limit
specifically the distribution of the
three billion foreign loan to countries
actually at war with Germany and
only during hostilities.
An amendment by Representative
Shacklcford OF Missouri to levy an
additional income tax with the view
of preventing any net income over
$4,000 to any one person was ruled
out OF order
The proposal of Representative
Towner of Iowa to eliminate the pro

During the debate Madden OF Him
ois said: For Gods sake let us
get into action. either through the
armies in the field or with our own
army. The time for talk has passed"
Towner explained his amendment by
saying that he did not think that the
power should be placed in the hands
Of the president and secretary of the
treasury alone to manage the loan
without more assistance from con.
Cress
The supporters of the bill saw in
the result Of the vote on Towners
amendment the test of their strength
and they attacked II with fervid and
patriotic argument.

SHOOTING LIKELY
BIG MISTAKE
Investigation of Shooting in
Tunnel West of Elko
Indicates Mistake

| The local officers and the officers of
the troops stationed at the tunnel
where the shooting occurred Thurs
( day night, when Corporal Murphy was
injured, have been thoroughly inves-
tigating the affair, and facts nlicited
] indicate that it was all big mis-
take.
Whether or not anyone was in the
J tunnel aside from the guards them.
selves Is not positively known. No
: one has been found. however, although
the tunnel has been thoroughly search
| cd, and both exits have been con-
stantly guarded. =
check of the ammunition OF the
guards shows that tive OF the five men
who entered from the east end with
Corporal Murphy fired their guns.
Three shots were fired by the men
at the other end according to report
, II now seems probable that Corporal
Murphy's wounds were caused by a
bullet which struck n rock or a rail
and ricochcttcd. One of-thc splinters
from the stcelcascd bullet struck Muir
ply on the left side OF the left leg
about four inches above the knee
joint, and ranging upward, made its
exit about five inches further up.
Both wounds are small, no larger than
would be made by bb shot. Another
splinter entered just above the right
knee. and apparently ranged upward.
This wound is triangular in shape and
is little smaller than the others.
The wounds are not serious. and un-
less infection Sets in the injured man
will be able to get around inside of
ten days.
1t is not thought possible that there
is any connection between the dyna-
mite that was found and the shooting.
The box containing the powder is
badly weathCr-bcaten. II was prob
ably left there by the construction
crew that drove the tunnel. The fuse
showed long exposure to the weather
and is in a bad state of decay. The
dynamite cap is badly corroded.
Contrary to first report, the dyna-
mite was not directly over the top
Of the tunnel. but was fully fifty feet
to one side. Had it exploded it
would have don" no harm. further than
it might possibly have rolled rocks
down into the cut leading to the tun-
mel.
Owing to the nature of Corporal
Murphy's wounds it was at first
thought that he might have been shot
with twenty-five rifle by an assail
ant Had he been shot with an army
rifle the bullets would surly have
gone through the legs, as they have
a range of about three and one-quarter
miles ard the wounds would have been
larger. The small size of the wounds
can be accounted for, however, by
bullet splintcring.
All OF the guards were more or less
excited. and 1t is impossible to get
from them connected and comprc-
hcnsiyo account of the affair
