STATE POLICE RAID
PROMINENT T0N0PAH CAFE

A Tonopah dispatch of July 8 says
the Frisco Cafe is in the hands of the
State Police whom, it is said, will
prefer a charge under the Federal
statutes against the owners, Sher-
man & Miller. for having intoxicating
liquors in their possession and in dis
posing of the same. The cafe re-
Gently acquired great popularity for
fashionable dinners. although it was
situated in the lower end of town.
1t was even limited that certain
drinks served in cocktail glasses, for
which the house extracted one dollar
a drink. were a pretty strong imita-
ton of the real thing. The raid was
made yesterday afternoon and a wag-
on load of evidence was taken to the
courthouse under escort of Captain
Percival Nash and Sergeant Nor
gard, of the State Police.
The patronage of the Frisco Cafe
was drawn from Tonopah's exclusive
circles. which kept the house filled
during the recent Fourth of July
festivities. The place has been
watched closely and, it is said that all
patrons will be subpoenaed to appear
against the house.
Another horrible report has sent a
cold shiver down the spinal columns
OF the bankers. brokers. mine opera
tors, mine managers and business
men who. with their wives, or the
wives of others. who enjoyed the
drought. is that they will be required
to report at Carson City.

STOCkMEN FAVOR GOVERNMENT
CONTROL OF GRAZING LANDS

Reporting successful meetings of
livestock men at Austin and Ely. Sec
rotary Metcalf of the State Livestock
Association has just returned to Reno.
The main subject before the stock
men was the question of regulated
grazing upon the open ranges of the
state. All the stockmen in attend
ance at both meetings joined the state
association and went upon record in
resolutions as favoring Government
control of grazing upon the open
ranges of the State. the interests of
the legitimate stockmen, ranchers
and settlers to be safeguarded.
Secretary Metcalf reports intense
interest over the entire State among
the stockmen in connection with
the activities of the State Associa-
ton and particularly in regard to
the open range question. From
present indications, according to his
information. there is little doubt but
that Nevada stockmen will be well
represented at the meeting at
Salt Lake City. on July q,
which will be attended by stockmen
from all the Western States. when
they will present their wishes in this
regard to the secretaries of Agricul-
ture and Interior.

ENGLAND WANTS SILVER
Asks For Hundred Million Ounces
Says John d. Ryan in Tele-
gram to Governor of
Nevada

Tuesdays Carson News says: Yes
terday the Governors office received
a telegram from John d. Ryan. head
of the war trade industries, stating
that England was asking for one
hundred million ounces of silver. the
same to be supplied by the Federal
government. As the producers are
| directly interested in this matter, he
| suggests that the same be made pub
lie through the Governor and others
interested in the best price for silver.
The telegram was forwarded to
Governor Boyle in Reno, where he
will take the matter up personally
with the producers and the Federal
authorities.
Should the purchase of this silver
be under government contract, as
provided for by the Pittman bill, it
| will cost the Government one dollar
per ounce. whereas in the open mar
ket the quotation for silver is around
$1.08 per ounce.
The producers figure that by send
ing the English buyers to the open
market that the price will be raised
beyond the present quotations.
Under recent dispatches from
England it is conceded that upon
England entering the war the natives
of India began boarding the silver in
circulation. AS this has been the
stump of the world for silver, once
landing in India never coming out
again, the further burial of the
white metal has left a worlds short
age.
During the war the United States
through her mints melted down some
three hundred and fifty million dol
lars, and replaced the same with sill
yer certificates. Even this sacrifice
of Americas silver has failed to re-
lieve the situation and the demand
for an additional one hundred nils
lion ounces of silver from America.
the mine owners figure, is but as it
should be. and that their profits in
the white metal should be in the open
market.
1t is believed that the policy of the
mine wne and the Government
will be to send England into the open
market for this new supply, which is
but an opening for more. as the war
debts must be met and the people
have demanded small silver moneys
from England to all of the colonies.
Nevada naturally figures that with
an open market and no federal fixed
price that silver will reach a higher
tide mark than in the past rs years.
1t has been predicted that silver will
reach the old standard of $1.29 per
ounce, where it rightfully belongs,
considering the deprecated purchas-
ing power of the one hundred cent
dollar. and the same condition exists
throughout the world.

Judge Fitzgerald is regarded as
one of the few remaining great con-
stitutional lawyers of this country.
He traces the great and growing trou-
bles of this country to failure to OBJ
serve and obey the constitution. In
his Thirty Years War on Silver"
Judge Fitzgerald b s s his argu-
ment upon the constitution, and again
and again insists that every public
servant, whether president or con-
stable, must in every act accept the
plain direction of the constitution of
government. IF we permit the vio-
sation of our constitution we will
soon witness the downfall of our lib
critics and the enforcement of tyr
any over our people," says Judge
Fitzgerald.
Judge Fitzgerald traces the failure
to win the fight for silver made by
Bryan and his followers to the fact
that they pursued a policy that ig-
nored the wise provisions of the con-
~stitution governing the definition and
coinage of money. The Judge is
firmly convinced that even now sill
yer can be restored to its constitu-
tional place in the American none
tary system if we will but observe
and obey our constitution and by so
doing we will very greatly help pre-
vent the world going to pieces as a
suggested possibility recently made
by David Lloyd George.
Before leaving Stockton, Judge
Fitzgerald arranged to have a copy
Of his Thirty Years War on Silver
presented to the Stockton library.
OF this great book. an American
statesman has said that it should be
used as q text book in every institu-
tion Of learning in this country.

took a very prominent and active
part in social and club affairs in Reno,
and was q recognized leader among
the women of the city.
She came here with her husband
from Eureka twenty-five years ago,
when he came here to take charge OF
the Bank of Nevada, and had re-
sided here since that time. She wa:
a native of Eureka, daughter of the
late David Hall, one of the pioneers
of Nevada and for several years re-
ceiver of the general land Office. He

German Officers Committing Suicide

German Officers Committing Suicide
Geneva, July 9.-Suicides among
the German officers are increasing
a~larmingly. especially in Prussia,
where the number of suicides is
thirty-eight per cent more than be-
fore it became known that former
Emperor William was to be placed
on trial by the Allies, according to
Munich newspapers. The wives of
officers are also reported to be taking
their own lives. The increase in the
number of suicides is attributed not
only to patriotic despair but to the
loss of officers social position.
