STOLE GOODS FROM
GOLDEN RULE STORE

Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock
Frank Feldman, who has been engaged
in the junk business here for some
time, was caught in the act of stealing
goods from the Golden Rule store, and
this afternoon at two o'clock he was
taken before Judge Doughty for his
preliminary examination.
Feldman had gone tc n clerk in the
store with proposition TO allow him
to take goods with the understanding
that they would divide the profits on
fifty.6fty basis. The clerk agreed to
the arrangement and then informed
Manager Lee OF the scheme. Field
man was to be taken into the base
mCnt on the pretext of making pur-
chase. when he was to load up on
such goods as he desired. Ladies'
silk stockings were what he wanted
in particular, evidently because he
thought he could easily dispose of
thcm, and because they were not
bulky. Mr.. Lee had green silk threads
drawn through the toes Of number
of pair and they were placed In pile
in convenient place. Constable Co.
tant was then secreted In the base
ment where he could watch opera
tions. and at the appointed hour Field.
man appeared and was taken to the
basement. lie was shown where the
stockings were placed and he lost no
! time in getting them under the bosom
Of his overalls Then when the clerk g
back was turned he purloined n pair
Of overalls Mr.. Cotant appeared at
this juncturc and placed Foldman un.
der arrest. When demanded to dis
gorge he denied having taken any.
thing, but Mr. Cotant soon took the
stolen articles from his person. The
value OF the goods was about ten
dollars.
A search was then made Of Field
mans room and II was found to con.

SAYS MILITARY
ESTABLISHMENT
IS INEFFICIENT
Chamberlain Charges that
Thousands of Deaths in the
Cantonments Were Due to
the War Department

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Standing
firmly by his charge that Americas
military establishment is enmeshed
in inetiiciency. Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the military committee,
replied in the senate today to Peri
dent Wilson's denunciation of his re.
cent speech by raking speech that
drew the presidents fire, and declar.
ing that the president himself does
not know the truth.
Chamberlain declared that he could
show that the deaths of hundreds and
thousands of men at the cantonments
were due to the war department and
that all epidemics could have been
prevented by the war department If
it had been effective.
He denounced the cry that investi-
cations give information to the en-
emy. Germany knows more about
America today than the men con-
nected with the war department" he
''AAN'- "a NAA' SoN Allllt2lA "Oulu De
frank with the people, then we could
rely upon the people to support the
president"
Citing the testimony of an army
officer at Camp Bowie. who declared
that there was not a trench mortar
there, Chamberlain declared: THAT
is true of every military station and
camp in the United States. If it had
mt been for the civilian population
who have come here and given service
we would not have been anywhere"
Chamberlain passed around proto.
graphs Of wooden machine guns and
heavy ordnance used at the canton
ments. "If had a boy training for

To BUILD SHALE
PLANT At ELKO
Salt Lake Company to Extract
Oil and Other Products,
Says Otto StaImann, Plant
to be Erected Soon

IL was determined by the directors
OF the Standard Oil Shale company at
"A recent meeting in Salt Lake to build
simultaneously with the mill a crack
ing" or refining department Accord
ingly. the engineer OF the company,
Otto Stalman, was instructed TO go
ahead with the plans and specllca-
tions with a view to having the entire
plant in operation in four months.
says the Herald-Rcpublican. The plant
will be erected at Elko, Nevada. II
will have a capacity of 100 tons OF
shale "A day. The "clackinE" depart
take care of all the oil as it comes
from the rctOrts. The idea Is TO make
or separate right on the ground all
possible of the many ingredients con.
tanned in these rich shales. This is ex-
pectcd TO greatly add to the general
monthly earnings for the company.
The products will include gasoline,
light and heavy lubricants, amrloni
um sulphate fertilizer and possibly
paranln and other ingredients.
The process TO be- employed will be
that used in Scotland with important
Improvements by Mr.. Stalmann In
Scotland mined at hundreds of feet be-
low the surface at the rate Of 3,O00-
900 tons OF shaic per annum. With
the Stalman improvements it is tho
expectation to make an extraction Of
sc to 81 per cent Of the oil content
The shales in the company's 1000
acres OF ground are expected to aver
age better than fifty gallons, and some
run up 10 90 and 10 While the
Scotch process requires twelve to
tweHty.fouF hours. the StalmaRn will
take but four to five hours to draw of

SPECIAL SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE FAVORED

As an outgrowth of action taken
yesterday by the Reno Rotary Club
it Is thought possible by Attorney.
General George B. Thatcher and
many business men of Reno that a
special session of the legislature will
be called for the near future TO
formulate some plan to coordinate
war donations and equalize the
burden in this state and to do ayay
with the constant stream of cam.
paigns being made to raise funds for
widely differen. organizations.
The question was discussed at
length by Attorney-Generai Thatcher
in response 10 questions asked by
members of the Rotary club at the
luncheon today and he told the club
that he favored a special session of
the legislature if it did nothing else
but work out some plan to equalize
the war assessments" in this state
and make 1t possible TO secure funds
for different organizations without
having campaigns going on con.
stantly.
1T would cost between $1,000 and
$4,000 for the special session." said
Mr.. Thatcher, but It would be well
worth the expense"
The state council OF defense has
been working on plan OF this nature
according to II. 4. Lennon. execu
tive secretary OF the organization
who also spoke to the club, but as
the state council of defense is with
out legal authority to enforce a plan
of this kind he was also in favor OF
having the legislature meet and
adopt some such measure.
II was pointed out that il each
working man in the state contributed
half a days wages each month, each
farmer a certain amount and business
concerns in proportion that when a
call is made for money for Red Cross.
Y. NJ. c. A. or any other fund that
the state would write a check for II

PARIS MAY FACE
CONDITIONS OF 1870

How would you like an elephant
steak? or bruin chop? Horse meat,
perhaps? Or il you wanted a chicken
how would you like 10 pay ten dollar
for It?
This isn't warning OF what is
going TO happen in this country. We
haven't enough elephants to go around.
1t has however reference TO what
once happened in Paris and might
again if We should relax our vigilance
in conserving and shipping food to
the fighting nations leagued with u
in this war. Food is hand.to.mouth
affair with them.
Paris has already felt the extreme
pinch OF hunger, At the time of the
siege OF Paris by the Germans in 1870
Il, with the victorious armies at the
gates, the citizens of Paris suffered
real famine. People ate-and were
glad to cat-things they had never
thought Of eating before.
Dogs and cats sold at fancy prices.
The animals in the geological gardens
were slaughtered for food
Here are the prices OF some meat
foods at that time:
Elephant meat. 81 pound; pigeons
S1.10 apiece; rates Csc apiece: ducks
$50 apiece; rabbits, sl2 apiece; bear
meat, SO a pound; horse meat, 81 a
pound, dog meat, 6Oc a pound; chick.
ems so apiece.
In the siege Of Paris the problem
was limited to one city. Now food
is a world problem.
AZ the time of the siege prices re-
llcCtcd the shortage. Today prices do
not reflect the state Of the food stores.
In Europe these stores are nearer the
danger line than price would suggest
today prices are kept down by care
ful administration. Nations are max.
ing an effort to extract the last ounce
Of power from their food supplies by
efficient handling and distribution.
But if America now relaxed her
watChful service for a month, Paris
would he in danger Of worse siege
than that of 1870. Not only Paris but
all France would be endangered. II
we did not send them supplies for
three months they would be starving
The price OF food would then be a mat

BRUTAL MURDER
OF GEN. DUKHON|N
How Commander -ln-Chief of
the Russian Army Was
Sent to Death; Story of Eye
Witness

PARIS, Jan. ga vivid picture of !
the circumstances OF the murder, by
infuriated Bolsheyiki, of General Duk-
honin, formerly commander-in-chiefo OF |
the Russian army. is given by the |
Petrograd correspondent of the Matin,
who apparently was an eyewitness of |
the tragedy. According to his story !
Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki com |
endeayored to save !
General Dukhonin from the mob but !
his efforts were unavailing and the |
Russian commander was struck down |
by sailor and then run through with
a dozen bayonets.
The murder took place after the
Bolsheviki had captured the head
quarters of the Russian army at Mo-
hiley and followed General Dukhonin's
refusal TO request the Germany army
officials to enter into an armistice
with the Bolsheviki. The general was
on board train when the mob sur.
rounded him. According to the Ma
tins correspondent the general ap-
peared at the window OF his railway
carriage.
Throw us your eqaulettes!" shrek
ed the soldiers, "or We'll kill you" and
they shouldered their rifles.
Krylenko begged the general to give
way to them, but Dukhonin refused.
"They can go to the deuce" he cried.
Let them kill me-"
A bullet whistlcd by, breaking the
window, then a second. General
Odintzeff went up to Dukhonin and
! gently took off his eQaulettes. They
were thrown to the mob and We're
/ quickly torn to pieces and for nom.
| ent We thought he was saved. Then a
handful of sailors jumped into the
/ carriage. They seized Dukhonin by
the shoulders and pushed him to the
| end of the coach and then on 10 the
! platform. Krylenko ran after them.
The generals appearance caused a
/ great uproar.
xiii him right OUT" they cried,
| "Kerensky and Korniloff got off. Men
! like him must be killed at once"
As the mob pushed closer and closer
upon the general, Krylenko stormed
and shouted, but no one took any
notice With single blow the gen
cral was struck down by tall sailor
| from the rebel cruiser Aurora. Duk-
| honin got on his feet again once, his
| face streaming with blood. He tried
TO speak but dozen bayonets were
run through him. and then blows and
kicks were rained upon his body.
The soldiers fought for his clothing
tearing it from him. The corpse,
stripped bare, was set up against a
| railway carriage and the mob, laugh.
ing like madmen, started gruesome
game. Sailors, Red Guards, and sol.
diers made snow and mud balls and
flung them at the generals head.
Il could no longer look on" writes
the Mathis correspondent, land dash
cd back into the carriage, where
found Krylenko sitting in a corner
his face in his hands. When he lifted
his head saw he was pale as death
Look at them he said in a whisper
There's no holding them in now.
and all the rest OF us must come &c
the same end"
