Verne ROSE DIED
AT CAMP KEARNY

Mrs. Dora Cooney received a wire
from George NJ. Rose at Camp Kearny,
California, that his son, George
Verne Rose, who had been i'll at the
base hospital for the past two weeks
passed away at 11:15 o'clock this

mans demise is stated in the tele-

our young men to volunteer from
Humboldt county in the service of the
United States, on May 13, 1917, and
had recently been promoted to top
sergeant, first class, and was chief
dispatcher of the motor truck service
at Camp Kearny.
A telegram was received by the
family last night from the hospital
adjutant at Camp Kearny, Captain
Lothrop, reporting that the patient
was showing improvement.
George Verne Rose was a native of
Winnemucca and was born on May
"a, 1895. He would have been "a
years old on his next birthday. He
was the eldest son of George NJ. and
the late Carrie Guthrie Rose, and has
surviving brother, Henry Rose.

tion of his life in this city He was
educated in the local grammar and
high schools and was a general fa-
vorite among his classmates. He
leaves many friends in Winnemucca
who deeply deplore his untimely
death.
Handsome. jovial and care-free, a
young man of unlimited promise. his
death leaves a space in the hearts of
relatives and the bereaved father and
brother, which time alone will heal
To the time of The Silver State go
ing to press nothing further had been
heard as to funeral arrangements,
but it is supposed that the interment
will take place in the family burial
plot in this city.

SfDITION CAUSES
ORDERED QUASHED

Prosecution OF all cases Of sedition
pending in this State has been or
dered dropped by the United States
attorney general. a telegram carry
ing that instruction having been re-
ceived by United States Attorney
Woodburn, at Reno. Seven cases
brought under the espionage act were
pending in this State.
The action of the attorney general
followed instructions which the
United States attorney received some
time ago, ordering that no action be
taken till after the facts in each case
had been referred to his office. Prior
to receiving the instructions, however,
the seven cases pending in this State
had been presented to the federal
grand jury by Attorney Woodburn
and indictments returned in each
case. In a communication to Attor-
ney Woodburn the attorney general
said that he was ordering all sedi-
tion cases reported to him before ac-
tion should be taken because practi-
cally every United States district att

.FALLON DOES NOT
FOSTER EPIDEMIC

Chauncey Smith. deputy superin-
tendent of schools, arrived yesterday
from Fallon to continue the school
inspections in this county which were
interrupted a month ago by the cpl
demic. The schools he was to reach
before starting back westward Ia
Fallon were Jungo, Sulphur, Jackson
Mountain and Big Greek, but he
learned here in Winnemucca that two
of those schools are closed, and prob
ably one of the others also, because
of "1u" among the patrons.
Mr.. Smith rearranged his plans and
left Thursday morning for Mill City,
Dun Glen, Crescent, Star and Union
vile, Rochester, Lovelock and other
places. hoping to reach Fallon before
more snow comes.
He reports that Churchill county
has been singuluarly fortunate in es-
Gaping the epidemic, probably because
1htiC W
by "siek" talk. The grammar and
high schools there have not been
closed at all. At one time the at
tendance in the former fell to 65 per
cent of normal, but was at last re
ports increasing.
There is still one school vacancy
in this county to be filed, and Mr.
Smith would be glad to hear from any
prospective teacher. A letter ad-
dressed to either Fallon or Winnie
mucca will be forwarded to him.
Owing to the scarcity of teachers,
as a war emergency measure the
State board recently decided TO issue
provisional certificates, good until the
summer of 1919, to those who arc
only high school graduates and wish
to teach school The board also de-
cided to omit the December teachers
examinations, so temporary eertifi-
Gates will hold good until June.
The institute is also to be omitted.

PROOF LACKING OF
UTILITY OF MASKS

The board of health appears to be
on the verge of being stampeded into
ordering the wearing of masks il
Reno as a prevention against the
spread of influenza.
Every effort should be made to
educate the people in measures to
prevent the acquisition of this dis
ease; but no sound argument has yet
been advanced in favor of galze
masks.
DR.. Mcintyre of the local board of
health has been informed by San
Francisco authorities that medical
authorities in that city, which suf-
fered severely from the scourge, have
no data to show that masks were in
any degree effective in stamping out
the epidemic.
No other city has any such data,
although many cities went masked
for weeks while influenza was preva-
lent.
Personal cleanliness. maintenance
of the system in as high degree of
health as possible, regular use of
good antiseptics, should be impressed
upon every one, not emily to halt in
huenZa, but all other diseases.
1t has yet to be proved that masks
are anything more than a nuisance
