GOLDEN RULE KATE" STARS
LOUISE GLAUM AT AMERICAN

Louise Glaum as ruler of dance
hall in Paradise, Nevada, during the
mining days of the early West, is the
star of Golden Rule Kate" Triangle
play which will be shown at the
American theatre tonight. Like the
male gun-fighters of the screen, Miss
Glaum proves quick on the draw, un-
scrupulous in dealing with her enc
mics, but on the level when it comes
to the square-deal law of the land.
Whenever a dispute arises she brings
order by drawing a gun and making
a few well-chosen remarks. When p
ministers opens a church in the town
she feels that her franchise is being
infringed upon and tells him plainl,
that she will not permit any compe-
tition to her resort, even though COM
petition may be supplied only by a
choir and a wheezy organ. The min
lister finally conciliates her and urges
her to attend church. She replies
that she will spend Sunday at his
"joint" if he'll tend bar for her one
hour each day This curious compact
proves the turning point in the life of
the sagebrush siren. In the cast are
Jack Gilbert Gertrude Claire. Mildred
Harris, William Conklin, Jack Riclt
ardson and j. p. Lockney.

INDIAN CHILDREN'S PROGRAM
WILL BE REPEATED ERE LONG

The exercises given by the Indian
children at their Christmas tree last
Tuesday evening followed the two
leading thoughts of modern civiliza-
tion - that is, Christianization and
Patriotism; and the promptness and
accuracy with which they manifested
to their audience their knowledge and
understanding of these two lines of
thought did credit to their teacher
Mrs. Dewitt Nelson, who had explained
to the audience that the power of
knowledge, in her opinion, was so
great that it should not be extended
to any person in whom the desire to
do good could not be made manifest
and leading attribute of their charac-
ter.
There were fifty-five Indians pres
ent, and among the few white people
who were permitted in the audience
were some of the most intelligent crit
les in W5nnemucca, and they have
requested Mrs. Nelson to repeat the
program at such a time and place as
to permit the general public to enjoy
it. This she has consented to do, pro-
vided a small admission fee may be
charged and the proceeds used for
securing an organ for the exclusive
use of the Indian children's mission,
of which she is the leader.

TRAGIC ENDING OF
CHRISTMAS PARTY

The Christmas-tree exercises at the
Episcopal parish hall came to a most
shocking close at $3.50 o'clock last
evening, when Mrs. Ross Turman, wife
of the rector, suddenly tainted. The
children in attendance were dismissed
and physicians were summoned, but
they left the rectory before 10 o'clock
pronouncing Mrs. Turman dead.
Bishop Hunting of Reno was i'm
mediately reached by telephone and
he arrived in Winnemucca this morn
ing on Southern Pacific train No. 10

services at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon
at the church, and will accompany

left motherless, Hobart Delaney,
eight years old; Margaret Amy, five,
and Alice Claire, two.

gained a host of friends during their
residence in Winnemucca, and this

by the news, which was known to but
few until this morning, that last the
event of last night was in reality the
passing of loved woman.

NOW DRIFTING IN
BANDED Quartz

In the reactionary market for all
grades OF stocks which prevailed on
the Stock Exchange and curb during
the week, National Leasing shares ran
OIL a point to a closing quotation of
SIX cents, says Rice's Industrial and
Mining Age. This compares with a
recent high of around % cents. There
are less than 100000 shares of Ma
tional Leasing stock outstanding, so
that Saturdays closing price gives the
issued capitalization a valuation of
less than 100000. The company is
spending money for exploration and
development at a greater rate per
annum than this entire valuation, with
indications favoring a successful out
come of operations.
The expected outcome is nothing
less than duplication of the marvel
ously rich oreshoot of the National
mine, adjoining. which produced in
the neighborhood of $1,000, 900 of the
highest grade gold ore known to his
tory.
The company has not only a five
year lease on its own ground, which
adjoins that of the National mine, but
it has also leased the entire equip
ment of the National property itself.
1t is now drifting on the National vein
in its own ground, having entered it
through the workings of the National
mine.
Late on Saturday a report was re-
ceived at the company's offices in New
York from Superintendent Elmer
Pfouts, at National, Nevada, which
makes it plain that recent develop
1ents are of the most promising kind.
In his weekly report Mr.. Pfouts lays
great stress on the fact that the Ma
tional vein in National Leasing Com
pany's territory, on which he is now
extending a drift from the fifth level
hows a great deal better grade of
!uartz than was revealed in the early
exploration work. He adds that the
quartz is of the banded variety, in
which the fabulously high gold values

orebodies of the National mine. He
says the ledge is widening out. Con-
tinuing, Superintendent Pfouts says:
When | cut through the footwall
and found basalt / looked up Waldo
mar Lindgren's report on the National
district, and quote from him the fol-
lowing: 1T is evident that much COM
paratively late movement has taken
place along the footwall, though with
in the West Virginia claim the move
ment has not been great enough to
bring the latte in contact with rhyo-
lite or with basalt.' We have gone
nearly one hundred feet through
ground that shows very decided
movement, as ii has all been crushed
and ground up until it is mud. There
fore | think the movement was suffi-
cient to bring it in contact with the
rhyolite and basalt. The footwall it
self is a rhyolite. which shows very
high naturalization and is of banded
structure"

SUDDEN DEATH OF
NEVADA SENATOR

Senator Francis Griffith Newlands
of Nevada died of heart failure at his
home in Washington last Monday
night after an illness of but a few
hours. He was stricken while at work
in his Office at the Senate building
during the afternoon. He was able
TO go home, and the Capital knew
nothing of his illness until the an
nouncement of his death.
No one realized the seriousness of
the Senator's condition and a physi-
clan was not called until late in the
evening. Then the heart attacks had
become acute. The end came sudden
ly at 1915 o'clock as Mrs. Newlands
and her brother watched at the bed
side. For several weeks Senator New
lands. working almost night and day
on his preparations for an investiga-
ton of wartime transportation prob
lens, had been in a weakened state
of health. He remained at his desk,
however. and despite his sixty-nine
years, appeared alert and active.
Francis Griffith Newlands, old-time
San Franciscan. Congressman and
Senator from Nevada for twenty-four
years. father of the national reelama-
ton scheme and author of the New
lands bill, was a Mississippian by
birth. He was born near Natchez on
August 28, 1S4S. which makes him in
at hn Inn of hig
death. He remained in Mississippi
with his parents until he entered
Yale in 1867 He was not graduated,
but left Yale in the middle of his
junior year to study law at the Colum-
bia Law School. Nevertheless, Yale
gave him. in 1901, the honorary degree
of Master of Arts.
Before his graduation from the law
school, Newlands was admitted to the
bar by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia in 1870. He came
Immediately to San Francisco, where
he opened law Offices and continued to
practice until 1886. In 1874 he mar
ried Clara Adelaide Sharon, daughter
OF the late Senator William Sharon of
Nevada. He removed from San Fran
cisco as a result of the death of Sena
tor Sharon and his appointment as a
trustee of the estate.
He came to Nevada in 1889 and sooil
became leader in affairs of this State.
He was a lifelong Democrat and was
first elected to Congress in 1893 and
continued to be elected to each sue
,ceeding Congress until he was sent to
the Senate in 1908. At his first cleo
tion to the United States Senate he
was chosen by the Legislature to sue
ceed John p. Jones.
In 1908 he submitted his candidacy
for reelection to popular vote, and
swept the State. The Legislature.
pledged in advance to carry out the
popular will thus expressed, re-electei
Newlands Senator without opposition.
He was again reelected for the term
beginning March 4. 1915. AS chair
man OF the joint Congressional com
mittee on transportation problems.
as we'll as the Interstate Commerce
Committee. the Senator had been
prominently identified with consider
alton of what the government is to do
about the railroads during the war.
Senator Newlands was twice mar
ried. After the death of his first wife
he married Edith McAllister. Besides
his widow, he leaves two daughters,
Edith Newlands Johnston of Santa
Barbara, Cal. and Mrs. c. IL. l.. john
ston of Kittery Point, Maine.

MORE REWARD FOR LABOR
Is Likely to Come After the War, Says
Archbishop of York.

Leeds, England, July 23.--The Most
Reverend Cosmo Gordon Lang, archbsh-
op of York, is one of the most democrat
c bishops in England, and during the
course of a speech at the Leeds chamber
of commerce said he could not imagine
the old system of private property in in
dustry surviving long. Industrial changes
after the war, he thought, would be far
reaching, and it was inconsistent with
the development of that democratic spir-
it which the war had helped to foster
that the old system should continue.
Cooperation between capital, manage
ment and labor would be necessary, cap
ital must be prepared to receive less and
labor must be assured of its just reward,
The most helpful method of securing this
cooperation was to establish boards rep
resentative of capital and labor, and
success depended primarily on new
spirit in which each side would really
try to appreciate the position and to
sympathize with the problems of the
other.

GERMANS STARTED
RUSSIAN MIX-UP
Kerensky Blames Agents Of the Imperial
Government for Recent Disturbances
in Petrograd-Trouble Sup
pressed Completely.

London, July 23-The recent disturb
ances in Petrograd were instigated by
agents of the German government, says
Premier Kerensky in message to the
sailors at Reyal, Helsingfors and other
ports, according to petrograd despatch
Saturday. The new premier appeals to
all democrats to stand by his provisional
government. His message reads:
ut has been established without doubt
that the disturbances in Petrograd were
organized by agents OF the German gov
eminent The disturbances now have
been suppressed completely, and the ar
rest of the leaders and those guilty of
the blood of their brothers and crimes
against the government and the revolu
ton is proceeding. Arrests are also be-
ing made among the sailors who acted
contrary to their civic and military du-
ties.
II appeal to all true sons of democ-
racy to rally round the provisional gov
eminent and the democratic organiza
tons throughout Russia to save the
country and the revolution from the
enemy without and his allies within"
