CITlZENRY FEARED
"WAVF OF CRIME

That a crime wave of large pro
portions had broken out In Winnie
mucca was the belief of many people
Saturday night, when word passed
from mouth to mouth that Constable
n. p. Moore had been forcd to kill
a Mexican burglar who resisted ar
rest, says the Silver State. Later on.
when word was brought that the
Southwark home had been robbed
they were sure conditions we're seri-
Gus. One noticeable feature was the
rapid emptying of the Nixon opera
house, the jitney dancers apparent
ly considering It good policy to go to
their homes to see If they were all
together"
The shooting OF the Mexican,
named A.. Merino, is of course great
ly regretted by Constable Moore, but
was unavoidable. the constable's life
being endangered and the shooting
only in self-defense.
Two Mexicans, one of them Me-
rino, were In and out of T.. Rein
hart company's store several times
during the day. Saturday, the last
time stealing two automatic pistols.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice. At supper time Constable
Moore saw the two M%exicans cross
the bot behind his home in West
First street. He followed and over
took them near the Western Pacific
depot, where the Mexicans stopped
to talk to two negroes. Moore told
them he wanted them, but Merino
said he was going to get a package
at the depot before accompanying
Moore for Identification. Moore
told him 10 come along Immediately,
%whereupon Merino commenced TO
run. Moore drew his revolver and
fred into the ground in an effort to
scare and stop the Mexican, but the
result was that the Mexican drew his
pistol. Moore thought Merfno fired
at him and therefore shot to Kill, but
the negroes say IL was the other
Mexican who shot at Moore, being
borne out by the fact that the dead
mans revolver had not been fired.
In the meantime the other Mexican,
running In an opposite direction,
made good his escape.

FAIRvIEW POWER LOST BY FIRE

Fire destroyed the sub-station here
last Monday evening. entailing a loss
of about $4,000. The su~b-station
furnished power for the mines and
mill at Fairview as well as lights for
the town. The mines and mill have
been shut down for some time and
the power was only used for lighting
purposes at the time. U. j. John
son and wife were living in a cabin
adjoining the sub-station and this
too burned, together with the cloth
ing of the Johnsons and nearly all OF
their furniture. II Is possible that
the sub-station will not be rebuilt
as the mining at Fairview has not
prospered for some years.

MOVIE THEATRE IN DEATH
VALLEY FOR THE MINER

Probably the most desolate movie
theatre In the country is situated in
Death Valley. where a seyen-reel
show is given every Sunday night
for the benefit of the employees of the
Pacific Coast Borax company, found
ed by Frank Smith, the borax king,
says the Mining Record. The CON-
pany has 175 men on the pay roll
OF this remote and %forbidding out
post of civilization, and every effort
is made to keep the men satisfied
with their jobs, as 1t is not an easy
thing to replace those who leave
with others who are not ac-
climated to the intense heat OF this
submarine station in the center of
the most dreary section on the west
ern continent. The entertainment Is
free and none but the best and lat
est films are sanctioned by the man.
agement, including plenty of fun
Mes to keep the audience in good
humor. The tin box of films ar
rives from the coast every Saturday
at noon when the ore train comes
down from the mine and unloads its
hopper Ears at the crusher situated
at Death Valley Junction. The whole
train is emptied of its contents and
then the diminutive locomotive re-
verses its position and starts back
on the heart-breakng trip way up in
the gray slopes of the Funeral range,
where IL may be seen winding
through the mountains of sand by
passengers on the main line train
long after they resume their jour
ney %northward. The expectation OF
the boys is so keen that the company
would rather run a special from Lud-
low than permit a Sunday to pass
without a show.

I'VE recommend continuing and
emphasizing the educational cam
paign among the women voters, urg-
ing women that to enroll, register
and vote in the party Of their choice
is duty Of citizenship
The women are going to look into
the question Of corrupt politics among
foreign women voters. upon the advice
Of their Committee on American Citi-
zenship, of which Miss Esther Lape is
chairman. A three months survey
will be undertaken, to inquire into the
boss control of women voters, the
amount of understanding these women
have Of election laws. and the extent
to which they vote.

election of Senator Wadsworth. In
fact, the one doubt in their minds is
not whether they should go counter to
the possible wishes Of Republican men
OF the state, but whether publicity
would not weaken their fight against
the anti-suffragette Senator.
THE less we talk the less the oppo-
sition will know about our plans" said
Mrs. Frederick Edey. "This is he
time to work quietly"
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of
the New York City League of Women
Voters and one of the most active
Republican women in the country. said
her opposition to Wadsworth as Sem
ator would last until she came out of
the election booth at the next election.
II shall never vote for Wadsworth
for Senator" she said. 81 shall work
against him not only in the primaries
but also in the election campaign"
Speaking on the Federal woman suf-
frage amendment, Miss Hay said:
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait wrote to
me from Oregon that there was danger
the Western states would fail to ratify
the amendment before February. The
Western Governors are unwilling to
call special sessions of their Legisla-
lures for ratification. And whose
fault is it that we were not permitted
to come before the regular sessions
last year? 1t is the fault of the senior
Senator from New York. That is one
reason why l am opposed to his re-
election"
The recommendation concerning
Senator Wadsworth read:
"That as an organization we shall
go on record as opposed to Sena-
tor Wadsworth's nomination or cleo
ton and that we shall do everything
in our power to defeat HIM"
Investigation of Candidates. Records
Other recommendation offered t.
the convention are:
THAT all committees established
by the National League Of Women
Voters be duplicated in the state
and that, as far as possible, chair
men be found for them in the vari-
Gus districts.
That the New York State League
Of Women Voters shall continue on

ference, and shall support such leg
islation on minimum wage, eight

flee workers as this conference shall
indorse.

ALBANY, Nov. 1s--The Hylan ad-

Ettinger's contention that the State
Commiss Toner had authority to settle
the dispute, leaves open to future court
determination the main question at

controversy by directing, shortly after

should be handled by the city Board Of

Superintendent Ettinger. on the one
hand. and Mayor Hylan and the Board
of Estimate, on the other, have been at
loggerheads for more than year over
the issue. The amount involved is now
nearly $5,000.000, the state having made
its second annual appropriation since
the squabble began.
The Superintendent declared the
question involved the principle of keep
ing control Of the public schoo from
the hands Of politicians. He charged
effort to place state school moneys in
the general fund was based on a desire
to keep the tax rate down.
