, Senate Finance Committee by Secretary
OF the Treasury MeAdoo today.
Mr.. McAdoo said. however. that the
proposed $5o0,OOO.OOo Government Finance
Corporation would forestar such a
course. 80
The purpose is TO keep the financial
field clear for Government borrowings
and at the same time TO aid Industries

the flow Of capital to non-essential In

labor and material to such non-essen-

work shall be prevented from issuing

"No, not exactly that" said Mr.. Nc
Adoo. ave think that all such issues
should be first submitted to the Gov

Mr.. McAdoo then explained that
while many concerns were voluntar-

require all Of them to do 80, II the
situation IL TO be controlled.
This bill would act in a financial
way as the draft law does" he said.

He further explained that the pro-
posed law would reassure ssvings

among which there was some !uneasi-
ness now.
THE Government corporation would
be able TO extend credit to this class
OF banks In the event of heavy with

Commercial banks which are COM

Mr.. McAdoo explained that the main
purpose of the bill was to marshal
the nations credit for war purposes,
to prevent unnecessary expansion i'm

The provision of the bill which
gives the Secretary OF the Treasury

the corporation was criticised by
Senator Penrose.
Secretary McAdoo answered by say
ing that the President already was
overburdened, and that he did not
think further burdens should be
placed upon him.

Survivors Keep Arriving.

A medical officer from the Tuscania
declared most of the deaths occurred
among the men who jumped overheard
when she was struck. The transport
began to list Immediately. he said, and
there was no way Of picking them up
until the llfeboats were lowered. BY
that time, many Of them had sue
cumbed to exposure.
All day Wednesday survivors from
the Tuscania kept arriving at Irish
and Scottish ports. All were received
with a warmth Of hospitality that
deeply touched the hearts of the men
from overseas. Homes were thrown
open to them and hotels and inns
opened wide their doors. Some of
them were in bad shape from shock
and exposure, most OF them being
from the inland district OF the United
States and never having been on the
ocean before, but under the stimulus
OF warm, dry clothing and hot food
they soon regained their cheerfulness
and indifference.

several weeks ago, at which time
 Putnam sought to have Lawrence fined for tearing down the fence in question.
 Lawrence owns the large stone building situated in the southwest cor ner of the city known as "Stoney Point" and Puttman owns the ad- joining lote. The complaint fil- ed yesterday states that on August l7th, the defendant erected on land owned by himself a large and un- slightly board and sheet iron struc- ture which was built so close to the Stoney Point building as to cut off the air and light, and also to obstruct the view and the entrance and exit from the place. Lawrence tore down a portion of the fence soon after 1t was built, and then Putnam put it back again and it has since remained in all of its unsightliness, the com- plaint says. The court is asked to order the destruction of the barrier on the grounds that it is a menace to the health and happiness of the Stoney Point occupants.

THE OLD NELSON IN
 NEW HANDS RESUMES

The Philadelphia Mining Co.,, which succeeded to the holdings of the Nell son Mining Co.,, at Crown King, i> now vigorously prosecuting big de- velopment, resuming recently after q short suspension to permit of a re- arranging of corporate affairs.
 Geo. P. Harrington, manager of Nelson. has been retained by the new operators. and while in Prescott yes terday stated that development was now under headway on basis of per- manancy. The driving of the lower tunnel that reached 2,500 feet IS the main operation, and the objective point is distant about 1000 feet far ther in the mountain, to get under meath the old shaft sunk on the apex where mineralogical conditions were determined as decidedly attradtlve. When this zone is reached vertical depth of o6O feet will be given, from which can be inferred the immense tonnage there will be available Of q high grade gold ore.
 Mir. Harrington states also as the tunnel is being driven a three-foot orc body of good grade is exposed, which makes the mineral situation all the more gratifying in proving a con t;nuous shoot from the surface to the depth of several hundred feet open cd. The values from the lower work ings show but slight variation as compared with the upper shaft, gold prcdominating. with only a one per cent copper content and practically no silver. All reduction plans for the present have been abandoned and after the tunnel reaches $500 feet, hcavv production begins with mill- ing plant to be introduced when the process of treatment will be definitely decided upon. The Philadelphia movement is the only one of any magnitude going on today in this county in gold mining, owing to cop per absorbing investment and miners being paid high wages. For this req son all other classes of mining arc being badly crippled in facing a cop per scale as development only goes ahead.

BCCZE MERCHANT HAD CUNNING WAY
 TO BEAT DRY LAW
,Erou Wednesdav's Daily

Booze and blankets do not make a desirable combination to evade the dry law, if the practice is persisted in too frequently, in hiking back and forth along the Santa Fe, as has been practiced for several weeks by q Mexican named Pedro Moreno. The latter was brought to the county jail yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Camp bell, of ScIigman, and his trial takes place later in the Superior court charged with bootlegging.
 Moreno, it is stated by the officer, packed his. blankets in and out of that town so often, as to occasion suspi- cion. and not being addicted to man nal labor. the trick card of the game he had been playing so often failed on the last trip into town, riding as a section hand on freight train. The blankets were scarce, but the booze was plentiful.

DOG CLUB FORMED BY
 BOYS OF BISBEE

BISBEE. Sept. H.-The anti-yel- low dog club, inspired by the story of Henry Irving Dodge in the Sat urday Evening Post, now includes the boys of Bisbee, Arizona, who have organized themselves for the purpose of suppressing yellow dog ism. The yellow dogs of the War ren district have had their day, and are now either going to change their color or be suppressed. An army of voluntary boy detectives has been placed on the trail of every man who uniustly criticiscs the government or who is unpatriotic enough to repeat the discouraging stories that arc started by German spies and sympa- thiZerS.
 Every man who "knocks' the U. s. government, and every man who stands by and hears his country mali gned without protesting, IS yellow dog" and these mongrel patriots will be hunted down and given yellow tag just as rapidly as the boys Of Pisbce can be organized and started on the crusade against yellow dog ism.
 To direct the activities of the boy detectives, an anti-yellow club has been formed. and the work of organ izine the boys will begin at once. En- rollment places will be opened in the principal stores where the boys may ,nroll and receive membership cards md instructions in the duties of fer rcting out disloyalty and all boys ,.nxious to do their bit in suppressing the spread of German propaganda arc asked to join the boy detective forces. The work of organizing this club is in charge of the boys department of the Y. M. C. A. which has issued call for public spirited men and women, who are urged to become members of the anti-yellow dog club and devote some of thcn time to taking charge of the boys.

GIRL CLINICS ID HER
 CH|NK HUBBY
YELLOW PERIL DID NOT FEAZE LUCILLE ELL WOOD WHEN SHE MAR REED All FEE; CLIMAX COMES YESTERDAY.

That old adage, Love Laughs at Locksmiths," should have included the Celestial race The climax to a recent sensational marriage in New Mexico occurred in Prescott yester- day afternoon, wherein an American girl and d Chinaman were the high contracting parties.
 The name of the bride was Lucille Ellwood, and her almond-eyed spouse was An Fee Both came to Jerome a short time ago on their honeymoon and the groom concluded to locate there. The rare racial combination started trouble at once for the pair. and while happy in welded bliss they soon ran not only afoul of trouble but also the law, according to the story Mrs. An Fee told yesterday as she took the back track for home alone by the sad sea shore of Coro- nado, near San Diego.
 "I am going back but I will re- turn,' she said, ''as Mir An Fee and are man and wife; cur marriage was legal in New Mexico, or else 1t would not have taken place: they say that here in Arizona your State con stitution won't permit of the joining of our races in holy wedlock; that don't apply to our case, as we were lover there when the parson tied the knot; they got me at Jerome and landed me in the Prescott jail, to await legal developments; the longer they hold me the strongest will be my love for the man Of my choice; don't care the snap of this little finger what anybody says or thinks; am of age. and have been making my own living since leaving home.
 Mrs. An Fee was placed aboard the train yesterday afternoon and pre- sumably left for Coronado, Cal Her release from jail was conditioned that she would go home to her mother and acquiescing, a certain gentleman of Prescott was authorized by her father to sec that she got started homeward. abundant funds being available for the trip and other eX- penscs incurred by the daughter. Mrs. Ellwood is heartbroken over the cscapadc of her daughter, and 1t was the appeal of the mother which in duced the girl to return to the home fircside.
 The Ellwoods are reputed as quite prominent in social and fraternal circles of San Diego. and will resort to every judicial procedure to have the obnoxious marriage annulled. The girl admitted she is addicted to hit ting the poppy pipe,' so between the nuptial and the narcotic problems, the parents have hard problem to bring to a normal state the caprices of their wayward offspring.
