ZURICH WILL APPLY FOR
WRIT OF MAhOAMUS

The fight for position. social or
otherwise, in the western section of
the City OF Ely Is again before the
the court and this time promises to
be a lively affair. For some months
past the county officials have been
taking action against the owners of
property In the restricted district
each month and a fine has been i'm
posed upon the ground that rooms
situated within 400 yards of church
edifice have been rented to the
women OF the underworld Some
time ago Tom O'Neill. one of the
proprietors In that district moved
his place of business a few feet west
which took his place. il is said, just
a few feet outside the 400 yard
radius. Former District Attorney
Zurich is counsel for Mr.. O'Neill and
some time ago applied for warrant
OF arrest for those whose property
is situated just within the limit and
announced his intention to apply for
warrants on the same charge daily.
Justice Collins refused 10 issue the
warrants and In this he was sup
ported by District Attorney Whiteley
the officials in office taking the pos
ition that they would handle the
situation which Is the same to-day
as 1t has existed for years and all
during the term In office OF Mr..
Jurich as District Attorney. II is
generally believed that the battle is
one for dollars which it Is hoped to
along the line and further by the
sale of property which the proprie-
tors of places within the 400 yard
radius would have to buy at the price
fixed by their competitors if they
were to continue in business in case
they are compelled to move. The
matter is not one in which the cit
izens with regard for the moral well
fare of the community are interested
but on the other hand battle for
dollars and supremacy in the under
world. and II is generally figured by
those who look upon the side Of
moral welfare that II the district Is
to be allowed to continue II is far
less conspicuous where II now stands
than II would be II moved further
back and consequently right against
the Lincoln Highway. Former Dis
trict Attorney Jurich yesterday again
applied to Justice Collins for a
warrant for the arrest of Hugh Will
son on the same charge as explained
above. This was refused and Mr..
Zurich then announced his attention
of applying to the District Court for
writ OF mandamus compelling the
Justice to issue the warrant, stat
ing that the application yesterday
was made for the. purpose of laying

kEMMER ~ GIVEN
HIS FREEDOM

Bert Kemmer, after spending some
time in the county jail under
charge of assault with intent to kill
committed upon one Birdie Hughey.
woman OF the restricted district,
was on Friday released upon motion
OF District Attorney Whiteley. Upon
investigation the District Attorney
found that the knife which was pro-
dueed at the preliminary hearing and
With which II was alleged the cutting
was done. was purchased in a local
establishment by woman who an
swered the description OF the woman
assaulted. Kemmer contended at all
times that he did not own the knife
and that when he had a scuffle with
the woman In her rooms she had the
knife and the wound was self inflict-
ed.

GIIsoU MEETS
SUDDEN DEATH

Joe Conway. 81 years of age, was
injured while at work in the Giroux
mine about midnight last Saturday
and as a result of his injuries died
IN the hospital at Kimberly about Z
o'clock on Sunday morning. Coroner
Collins was Immediately notified and
with Undertaken Bates went to Kim
berry and brought the remains of
the unfortunate young man to Ely.
State mine inspector Stinson and dep
uty Alex Baird also went to Kimber-
ly and piewed the premises where
the accident occurred. From the
evidence at the Coroner's inquest
which was held on Monday II appear
ed that Conway had just gone on
shift and was engaged In breaking
down preparatory to timbering in a
stope where the OFF going crew had
just shot A large slab came from
the face, breaking down the tagging
on which Conway was standing and
about 20 feet. His ribs were broken
and his lung punetured which caused
his death. He is survived by his
mother and a brother, who is a
prominent business man in Caliente,
where the remains were shipped upon
the telegraphie request of his
brother

FROM TWO TO a YEARS
FOR STEALING SHEEP

In the District Court yesterday
morning Judge McFadden sentenced
A. Alexander to serve term OF
from to IA years in the state prison
at Carson City. Alexander who has
been In the county Jail for some
months on Friday entered a plea of
guilty to an information filed against
him By District Attorney Whiteley
charging the theft of certain sheep
from Lewis Bros. and Tucker.
According to current rumors Alex
ander has gathered together a val
liable band of sheep and has accom-
plished the task without the use oi
money, which is quite feat, but his
methods are naturally not looked up
on with favor by the legitimate sheep
ralsers of the community. Under the
lndeterminate sentence act and a
recent ruling of the supreme court
a convicted man when being. SEN
fenced must be given the minimum
and maximum by the court. The
matter can then later be brought
before the Board of Pardons when
a close examination of the circum-
stances surrounding the crime Is
made. In the case OF Alexander but
little hope of leniency is entertained
and his chances of going the limit
seem good.

for each other and cannot bear the
thought of separation. So we will
end it all"

GALL RESERVES
Retired Officers of Navy Sum.
mOned Back Into Service.
Ship Builders Meet to Expedite
Construction of Warships.

Washington March 23.-The navy
has recalled into active service large
numbers of the retired officers, Sec
rotary Daniels announced today.
Utter inadequacy of the officers
personnel resulted in this order. which
follows closely the order for the adj
vancing graduation of two classes of
the Annapolis navy academy.
In an effort to virtually cut in half
the time required for constructing
available ship building resources for
the construction of these, vessels. a
conference of American ship builders
will be held at the navy department
tomorrow.
The New York ShipbuiIdfng cor
poration, the Fore River Shipbuilding
company, the Newport News company
and Cramps of Philadelphia will be
represented, as will every ship yard
which has ever built a destroyer or
fort will be made to build the de-
Stroyers in ten to fifteen months.
Twenty-Five to twenty-four months has
been the customary period.
No Limit on Number of Destroyers.
No limit will be placed upon the ex-
tension of the navy in destroyers, sub
marines and submarine chasers, other
than the physical capacity of the coun-
try's ship yards to turn out the vessels.
While fifteen destroyers are already
specifically authorized, Secretary Dan
iels announced the department would
al once order as many destroyers as
can be built in time to meet the pres
ent crisis. If as many as fifty can be
built, they will be ordered.
Immediate increase of the destroyer
fleet is the first desire of the navy de-
partment, Daniels announced today
Bids for the fifteen authorized de-
stroyers will be opened Tomorrow In
addition, a hornet fleet of between
two and three hundred fast motor
boats, submarine chasers land as
many more as we can get constructed -

Says Each Shot Herself.
Dr. E. T Taylor assistant medical
referee after an examination OF the
bodies today said that each girl had
shot herself in the right temple. At
the time of their death, the young
women were in normal and apparently
healthful conditions, he said.
1t appears that the young women
met in Boston Wednesday and came
to this city where they registered that
night at the Rockingham hotel. Little
was seen of them and they attracted
no attention until they had remained
