Scripture and Profanity Mixed.

The Bible and profanity were
strangely intermingled in the congress
a few days ago. Senator Overman
made the statement that President
Wilson has been criticized in many
instances, for instance, for not taking
senators into his confidence" To which
Senator Reed remarked: "Oh hell"
Senator Overman expressed the hope
that this expression would go into the
Record. Subsequently Senator Over
man read into the Record a section of
the eighteenth chapter Of Exodus, de-
scribing how Aaron and Hur sat by
the side of Moses and held aloft his
hands throughout the day while the
conflict between the army of Israel and
the army of Amalek was in progress.

CALIFORNIA GOLD
OUTPUT DECREASES
INCREASED COST OF PRODUC-
TION is CAUSE OF
DECLINE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. IA.
The production of gold in California
for 1918 probably will be 20 per
cent under that of 1917, said
Fletcher Hamilton, state geologist.
While the price of gold has re-
manned fixed at $20.67 an ounce
the various factors of the cost of
it's production have advanced from
25 to 800 per cent since the Euro
pean war began, according to Ham
ilton. Mines have been shut down
and others may be forced to cease
operation, he said. When this oc-
ours the shafts fill with water and
the equipment rapidly de~teriorates,
thus causing a more serious sit
uation than the decrease in produc-
tion attendant upon a cessation of
mining. he asserted.

ONE DRAFT Man
HAS WARM TIME
BLEW $4,000 WHEN HE WAS
CALLED INTO
ARMY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IL
difficulties of soldiers who former
w were successful business men, in
having last years income tax on
this years pay are illustrated by a
story brought to Washington by an
officer serving at one of the south
ern cantonments.
Last February, the officer said,
he explained to the men OF MS
command that all married men
would have to pay a tax on
all their last years earnings over
$4,000. while all unmarried men
would have to pay on all incomes
over $1,000.
Coming to him later one of the
men. a private, said:
Il guess l won't be able to pay
that income tax. l haven't any
money"
'Oh, that's all right" replied the
officer. "You have until June to
pay it and you can save it out OF
your pay by that time"
Il am afraid I couldn't" respond
ed the private. II made $4,000
last year and 1 blew it all in when
I was called into the army"

OF VICTORY
IS Held
COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
ASKED TO HANDLE
PARADES

Goldfield staged a patriotic dem
onstration last night ON the strength
of further allied advances and the
capture of large numbers of prison
ers. The Eagles drum corps led a
parade through the business district
of the town and a long line of citi-
zens on foot and in automobiles fol-
lowed.
The parade disbanded in front Of
the Goldfield hotel, where war
time speeches were made by Attor-
ney General George B. Thatcher and
". l.. Ricketts,.
While the town celebrated last
night, there was apparently a differ
ent spirit in the hearts of the peo-
pie than heretofore on occasions of
the kind, owing to the news receiv-
ed yesterday of the death on the
battle front of Maurice Bair, who
died of wounds received in action.
Bair was the first Goldfield boy to
die on the battle front.
In honor of the dead soldier flags
on the public buildings and on
buildings in the business districts
were flown at half mast today. Ev-
evryhere that flags are flown in the
residence district the stars and
stripes were lowered on the poles in
honor of the first Goldfield boy to
give his life while fighting in
France.
On suggestion of a large number
of citizens, made last night during
the course of the parade and follow
ing, the matter of patriotic celebra-
lions will be considered Tuesday
night at the regular meeting of the
county council of defense and fol-
lowing this meeting it is believed
"a public meeting will be called to
consider the question.
All parades held to date. accord
ing to general opinion, have been
justified by the news received, but
they have at times been hurriedly
arranged and not as well carried out
as il they had been under direction
of some committee or body of men
for the purpose.
1t is to remedy this that the u
Gil has been asked to act in the
matter and also to prevent possible
parades in the future when not war
Iranted by news received. There is
also the problem of people who
want to hold celebrations on differ
ent nights. leading to d~issension,
and it is felt the entire matter can
best be disposed of by placing it in
the hands of the council, which can
handle the situation as 1t sees fit.

o. o. Emmons, a Tonopah mining
man interested in a property at
Gold Mountain, may lose his life as
a result of becoming lost on the des-
ert below Millers a few days ago.
With Emmons was a woman, believ-
ed to have been been Mrs. Fred
Harper, also of Tonopah. Emmons
and the woman started to walk
from Millers to Grow Springs, only
a short distance. Early the next
morning the woman appeared in
Millers almost exhausted. She said
she and Emmons had become sep
arated during the night and a
searching party left to look for En-
mons. After a long search he was
found several miles from Grow
Springs in a pitiable condition and
he was taken to Millers. where his
condition is reported serious.

FL PASO IS HOME
OF many MEX
REVOLTS
PLOTS ARE MATCHED IN SEC
OND-CLASS BOOMING
HOUSES

Ell PASO, Aug. 10. Mexican
revolutionary juntas have been in
existence in Ell Paso since the first
one here was organized for Fran
cisco I. Madero in 1911 in a back
room of a cheap hotel in the Mexi-
can quarter.
Orozco, Huerta, Villa and Felix
Diaz have all had their juntas here
at different times since the revolu-
ton started. A second-class room
ing house or hotel is always select
ed for these meetings of revolution
airy followers.
Beds are drafted into service as
chairs and the Mexicans squat
around the walls while the junta
meetings are being held. In these
meetings are planned the revolu-
tionary movements, schemes devised
for getting contraband ammunition
into Mexico and often recruiting
among the floating Mexican border
population is carried on by these
j~untas.
At present a well-organized Villa
junta is in operation here. 1t is
in charge of a young Mexican rev.
olutionist who has the usual retinue
of clerks, lookouts to watch for Sc
cret service men, military advisers
and American legal advisers.

From the Financial Ticker

While prices on the Consolidated
Stock Exchange in the early dealings
yesterday reflected a degree Of heavi-
ness. there was no pressure Of selling.
Further scattered profit-taking ap-
peared to be under way, with the mar
ket inclined to mark time pending on
impetus from some new source. Gen
orally price fluctuations were within
comparatively narrow limits. Advices
from Washington that President VIII
sons restatement of war aims had
not, in the opinion OF officials best
qualified to Judge. paved the way for
any peace negotiations in the immedi-
ate future. had some effect tending TO
put a damper upon the flow Of peace
talk" that has lately filled Wall street.

statement OF the United States Steel
Corporation. showing an increase OF
4S4,612 tons in untitled orders on the
books, failed to stimulate the market
in the early afternoon, trading con-

PEACE TALK CAUSES
MARKET REACTION
Wall Street Hopes for End of War.
But Pessimistc on Outlook.
~ BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Jan. 1o.-wall Street was
full Of peace talk today and as a re-
suit the stock market had a sharp
rally In the afternoon. This talk
originated with grain broker in Bos-
ton. was next reported from Washing
ton and finally Smembers OF the firm
of J. p. Morgan & CO. were quoted as
believing It to be true.
There was no evidence to support
the report. Stocks closed at about the
best prices with material net gains in
those issues where there had been
short selling.
Germany Net Whipped.
. Since rurnors have taken possession
of the market It Is only fair to say
that Wall Street hopes for peace
rather than believes in It. Every mill
tary authority TO which the Street has
access, agrees that Germany is still
on the offensive and unwhipped. They
say that there is no military reason, or
economic one to cause Germany to
stop fighting for several years. All
the peace talk is based on the belief
among theorists that the German peo-
pie are tired Of the wan
Action Of the market on these rumors
what would happen II peace were
really to come.
Wall street was much surprised
when the United States Corporation
announced an increase OF 4S4. .612 tons
IN untitled orders for the last month.
This had no influence on the market
at all, because tonnage on the books.
means nothing now In view Of the
large orders placed by the government
The activity and strength that de-
veloped In United States steel late in
the afternoon was due entirely to
peace talk.
Tobacco stocks Strong.
Tobacco stocks were strong from the
beginning Of the day as were also
Mexican Petroleum and Marine pre-
ferred- Some specialties that had not
been traded in for several weeks con-
tinued to make up their prices in ac-
cordance with what has happened
since the railroads were taken over
by the government. Among there
South Porto Rican Sugar advanced 2
points. Sears-Roebuck 6, and Industrial
Alcohol preferred Z.
Mercantile Marine continued to be
bought by an interest associated with
a trust company that was very active
in saving the company from receiver
ship at the beginning Of the war The
theory Is tha8 another cash payment
on account OF the back dividends may
be made soon.
Mexican Petroleum was strong
partly because the Street construed
the appointment of Mark Requa as the
result Of influence exercised by ftnan'
ciers controlling this company.
The high price made by American
Sumatra was largely in sgmpat athy with
advance OF American Tobacco and ever
United Cigar Stores and Tobacco Prod
